The end of the long fight for rail-
way rate control is in sight. That
a rate bill is to be put on the stat
ute books is now conceded, even by
the Aldrich- Elkins crowd in the SEN
ate. 1t is to be real" bill, as die
tinguished from a gold brick"
The most important thing about
tho law is, It will assert the prin-
cipIe of government control over
rates.
"The rate! That Is the thing!'
President Roosevelt once ex-
claimed. "The government must be
able to put its finger on the rate!"
1t Is nearly three years since that

BARBER WAS
REAL BUSY

suit that the bill was trimmed
down, He is living in a Main ave-
nue. hotel and it was the hotel bar
Der shop where the work was done.

KILLS HIMSELF
(Scripps News Association.p

OGDEN, April 11.-John Crosby,
formerly prominent in labor cir
cles, aged SO, hanged himself last
night, and his body was found It's
morning. 1t was the third attempt
in a month. The cause was melan-

remark was made. The government
will soon be able to put it's finger
on the rate.
The Court Review.
AS to the much talked of mat
ter Of court review" in the rate
legislation. President Roosevelt
has no objection to court review
provided that section is drawn and
executed in GOOD FAITH. 1t Is al!
question of a PROPER court re-
view. That's why he has just
agreed to the review amendment
which Lodge and other friends OF
the president have drawn.
Except that the principle of gov
eminent control Of rates is estab-
lished by the pending Hepburn-Dol-
Observation-Disclosures bill,
the measure a year ago would have
been regarded as exceedingly con.
sentative. 1t does not authorize the
government to go into the general
rate-fixing business: 1t does not
give the government power to adj
just differentials between rival
commercial localities; it does not
legislate any broad general princi-
pies of rate making. The things
that the bill does not profess to do
are reserved for the next
round"
Some Big Features.
Many important provisions In tho
pending rate bill have been entirely
lost to view in the great interest
which has centered on the court
review" amendments. There is the
publicity feature - one of the most
important which provides for q
system of inspection Of the books
by government agents to discover
whether rebates are being given.
Another relates to the right of feed
er roads to use the terminals OF
trunk lines to enter large CONNER
cial centers. Still another is the
new control to be provided for the
private car lines, such as are MAIN
tanned by Armour, Swift, Rookie
Teller and others. Besides there
are pending amendments raising
many questions.

Federal union No. 222 has quite
a history as labor organization.
When it was first organized, COM
mon labor in this city was recelv-
ing $3.50 per day and 10 hours COM
prised a days work. The union sue
ceeded in securing wage OF $225
per day and has reduced the hours
of work to eight hours per day.
The union spent all the money 1t
had in its treasury and $4,000 of
American labor union funds in car
rying the eight hour day ordinance
to the supreme court when the law
was declared constitutional. If
the union succeeds in securing
charter from the American Fedora
ton of Labor it is believed that it
will accomplish, If possible, more
good in the future than in the past.
At the meeting of the Central
Labor union last Monday evening,
members of the cement workers
and building laborers' unions stated
that these unions would probably
be represented by delegates in the
central union in the near future.
The painters and paper hangers
will receive an advance in wages of
so cents per day on April 10, This
will increase their pay from $3.50
per day to 81 for eight hours work.
The new scale has been accepted
by all the large contractors,
An open meeting of union men,
their wives, sisters and female re-
latives will be held in Central La
Dor Union hall, corner Wall and
Main, tonight to complete the or
ganization of a Women's Union
Label league. A good musical and
literary program is promised and
an enjoyable time is anticipated.
The league is starting out favor
ably and it is expected to do much
for the cause of unionism through
the demand for union label goods,
and for the cards and buttons Of
individual unions. The object of the
legaue is primarily to bring about
more consistent exercise of the
purchasing power along union lines
These leagues are operating very
successfully in all the coast cities

Laundry work at home would be

beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
