some of our modern penitentiaries
seem like large universities rather
than places of punishment. Particu-

standard for this country, II not for

The Brotherhood, otherwise the

done by it since last April, when
the association was organized. This
little booklet will be revelation to

the time when the unfortunates were

der the influx Of so many workmen
who are employed in our numerous
Industries. new conditions arise.
which must be met by business
methods. This Brotherhood, which
is undenominational, and numbers
over fifteen hundred strong, has GER
tainly grasped the situation SO that
any one who through misfortune, is
In need Of help. may feel that they
have a friend to whom they can
turn.

Of the benefits that are being given
to 1.-THE unfortunates whether of our
own town or the so-called floating
population. No one is turned away
without some aid-some distress al

be written Of the life histories and
pathetic variations that are unfolded
in the course of few hours. To be

these pamphlets will be widely dis

know of the work in detail.

BIG BUSINESS IS.
AFTER FORD'SSCALP

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Persistent
rup,ors from authoritative sources are
prevalent here. indicating an early con-
solidatIon OF the General Motors Corn
pany and the Chevrolet Motor Company
in the development Of plans for a new
company which will build low-priced
car to compete for the vast business OF
Henry Ford. Both OF these companies
are practically under the control Of the
Durant interests.
Although the reason given for the
combination Of the two companies - Os-
tensibly merely TO develop their business
interests, reports emanat!ng from Wall
Street indicate that one OF the DON'T
nant motives Is the displeasure OF BiS'
Business following Ford's activity In
The statement that James Couzens.
who recently resigned as vice president
and general manager OF the Ford Motor
Company. because OF BordB pubic
utterances against preparedness Is AL
ready vitality Interested in the new COM
bination. lends credence to the rumors,
and would indicate the early culmtna-
ton of the merger. Couzens Is
generally credited with having been re-
sponslbie for the success OF the Ford
Company. and on his retirement from
that organization withdrew a vast sum
constituting his interest.
Ford's associates say that CouZcns is
Street because he has been active in
the establishment of big enterprises for
the DEVELOPMENT of which he did not en-
list the aid of Big Business.
This displeasure of the big interests,
It Is said, seriously hampered the Ford
Company a short time ago, when large
orders for materials were held UP by
the steel manufacturers. II is generally
believed, however, that Couzens viii be
heavily interested in the new concern.
There will be meeting today for the
purpose of considering a plan by which
tho Chevrolet Company Is expected TO
take over the General Motors Company.
BY this plan, the change will be merely
in stock control, and the operations OF
each concern will continue independ-
entity of the other.
4: II. shoup, general manager for
Miller Brothers, local dealers for the
Chevrolet line of automobiles, today
said that no direct news of the new
company had reached him, but that he
was not surprised since he has heard
through unofficial channels frequent
hints of big developments in the Chev-
rolet COmpany's plans TO materializs
carly in 1916.
