The announcement was made yesterday By VIII
slow Ianier & Co., fiscal agents OF the Grand
Rapids and Indiana Railroad, that they had been In
formed by the officers OF the company that owing TO
the unexpected financial outcome Of the last six
months, the company would be unable to meet the
September interest upon It's per cent general
mortgage bonds The officers Of the company express
the hope that the suspension Of Interest will be only
temporary There are about SO 100000 bonds out
standing and the September coupons call for 2 l-2
per cent The road is controlled In the Interest OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad which guarantees some OF
the securities, but not the general mortgage fves:
II Is thought by persons that the passing OF
the interest may lie preliminary to an attempt to
scale down the Interest Of the bonds, but n1s view
receives Official sanction.

LABOR AND PROTECTION.
7. Y. powdcrly, Grand Master
Workman Of Labor on the High
Tariff policy,

tfrom his article in the North American Review
for september, 1921
The Carnegie Steel Company aud
like concerns owe their prosperity
to the protective laws of the United
States. These laws were passed in
the interest of labor. During dis.
cussion on the tariG laws Il was
never advanced as a reason why
they should be passed, that capital
would be protected, the argument
was always that labor would be
protected. The workman has not
been protected f.on foreign com.
petition 10y the government. He
has had TO fight the battle for HIM
self through the labor organization.
Not only has he had to fight
against foreign competition, largely
attracted by our decisive tariff laws,
but he has had to wage war with
the employer for share OF that
protection which his government
decreed by law that he should have.
Our government has enacted pro
tcctiVe legislation in the interest of
labor, If we read congressional
speeches Alright, but 1t quiesccntly
allows the manufacturer to absorb
the bulk of protection, and then
throws its ARMIES around the estab-
lishmcnt at the slightest provoca-
ton when the workmen ask for
what their government admitted
that they haG right to enjoy.
What would have averted this
trouble at Homestead, is asked |?
Industries which are protected by
tariff laws should be open tolnspec-
tion by government officials. When
the managers Of such concerns seek
to absorb all OF the protection the
government should interfere on
behalf OF the workingmen. If we
must have protection let us see to
1T that it protects the man who
works.

A MODERN MARVEL.

When IHe Ptttsdurgh Times took
possession Of its splendid building
last April its publishers promised
that Tile Times would grow in ex-
cellencc in the same proportion IA
it's quarters have been ENLARGED.
Tile Times had already won such a
proud position among the newspa.
pers Of the country shat there was
general curiosity TO know how the
promise would be redeemed. That
curiosity has been most pleasantly
gratificd. THE Times has been so
enlarged, and 50 many new features
b ge been added, that it is every.
where cited as marvel OF modern
journalism. The chief wonder is
that a newspaper so complete in ey-
cry respect can Gc sold for one cent
day, or $500 per year, little more
than the cost Of first class weekly
paper. II any Of our readers are
not familiar by personal inspection
with the merits Of The Times. we
advise them TO send for sample

any address. II there is no agent
for Ihc Times in your locality it will
