WASTE OF RAILROADS
SHOWN BY EMPLOYEES

Cleveland.-"S Saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bunghole,' is the term
used by railroad train service employees
in their reply to the managers claim
that an cight-hour day for these work
ers is too costly"
The train service men show that il
the railroads are really sincere in desir-
ing to conserve their revenue, they can
save millions OF dollars by ceasing to
grant rebates to favored shippers and
refuse to haul private cars free. While
it is commonly supposed that rebating
has been brought to an end, the en-
ployes quote court records and reports
OF the interstate commerce commission
to prove the contrary. In 1915 the fol-
lowing roads were convicted and fined
total OF 1924 900 for rebating and un-
lawful concessions: Central Railroad
of New Jersey; Chicago, Terre Haute
& Southeastern: Grand Trunk; Louis
vile and Nashville; Michigan Central {;
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and the
Sierra Railway.
Tables prepared by the interstate
commerce commission show that the
revenue from private cars handled free
during the year 1913 on only SS roads
would, at tariff rates, amount to S644,-
25O7o. Wives and other relatives OF
railroad officials have been given the
free use OF these cars, and to illustrate
the extent to which this evil has grown
it is shown that in one instance two
special trains were furnished free to the
widow OF former director. The tariff
rate for this service is $3,466. The wife
and daughter OF the president OF that
company EN- Dyed in single year free
transportation in private cars for nine
trips. The tariff rate is $3,577.
Private cars are insisted on by Of
ficials, even though road is bankrupt
and in need OF motive power and other
equipment Within the last few days
the Clover Leaf Railroad, which is in
the hands OF the courts, has been given
permission to purchase a private car
for Walter L. Ross, receiver, at a cost
OF $31 800.
These practices, which are among the
many denounced by the interstate com
merce commission, are compared by
the railroad train service men with their
demand for an eight-hour day. They
say that more than enough money is
wasted by inefficient operation to make
up the comparatively small sum it
might cost the roads to better the work
ing conditions OF their employees

Members of the International Press
OF North America, at its sixth annual
convention Tuesday, May 8, at the Glib
son Hotel, decided to cooperate with
the daily and weekly press OF the coun-
try in investigating the increase in price
of print paper. The organization also
instructed its officers to endeavOr to
have ruling by the Interstate Com
merce Commission preventing the eX-
change OF railroad advertising for trans
portation rescnded or modified.
Frank L. Rist, Editor of The Chron-
icle, and w. f. Myers, Editor of The
Labor Advocate. the only two author
lied labor papers in Cincinnati deliver
ed addresses of welcome. Both speak
ers gave the visitors cordial welcome
and outlined the program of entertain
ment. Charles w. Fear, Joplin, Mo-,
president of the organization, re-
sponded.
Committees on reports OF officers and
resolutions were appointed. Robert E.
Woodmansee, Springfield, ILL.,, secretary
and treasurer, and President Fear, made
reports. The report OF Mr.. Wood
mansee showed there were 81 members
in the organization with &C labor papers
in good standing. Mr.. Fears report
showed that efforts we're being made
to bring the editors OF the labor papers
closer together, improve the papers
and increase the influence OF the labor
press.
In view of report that there were
nearly as many labor papers outside the
organization as there were members, ii
was decided to conduct membership
campaign during the next year.
AT the election OF officers all the pres
ent officials were elected. as follows

OPPOSE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

Pittsburgh, Pain an effort to stop
the eight-hour sentiment that is sweep
ing through this district, seventy-seven
of the largest employers in the metal
industry are publishing large advertise
ments in the daily newspapers saying;
'No reduction in hours will be granted
by employers. The undersigned, after
due consideration, have unanimously de-
cided that they will not reduce the work
ing hours in their respective shops"
The announcement has had an effect
opposite from that intended, and workers
are pointing to this solidarity of en-
ployers as a reason why they should also
unite.

A GOLDEN WEDDING

The most interesting and perhaps
the most notable event in the social
history of Commerce was the celebra-
ton of the fiftieth wedding anniver-
sary of Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Heuchan,
which took place in st. Paul's M. E.
Church on Wednesday evening, April
18th. The march was led by the
younger grandchildren, Mary, Lois and
Willie Davis Heuchan, Bob and Rob-
ert Heuchan and Nelson Ellis, who
acted as usher. The bride and groom
were attended by their sons and
daughters as groomsmen and brides
maids. They were Marvin, Charles
and Moses Heuchan, Mrs. Floy Ellis,
Mrs. Emma Dodge and Mrs. Lille
Bondurant. Next came the little
granddaughter, Mary Martha Ellis,
uniquely gowned in old rose silk-the
bridal gown worn by her grandmoth-
err on that festive occasion fifty years
ago. The most remarkable fact in
connection with the history Of the
Heuchans is that there has never been
a death in the immediate family of
six children and thirteen grandchil-
dren.-Benton Democrat.

A Strong Bank

The Times editor spent few hours
Saturday on our initial visit in the
wide awake and prosperous little city
of Flat River, and we were pleased to
see the splendid evidences of unusu-
al prosperity that is everywhere so
apparent there. While it is wholly
the product of the enormous mining
companies of that community, it is
remarkable for its cleanliness and
the evident gentitility of its popula-
ton, so unusual in mining commune
ties. Even before st. Francois coun-
ty went dry, Flat River never had
a saloon within its corporate limits.
There are to be found many thor
oughly up-to-date stores, filled to the
ceiling with seasonable goods, and
presided over by gentlemanly pro-
prietors and obliging clerical forces,
which supply in satisfactory manner
approximately the 1000 inhabitants.
Much building and improvement is to
be seen everywhere, but there are no
idle men there with any desire to
work. The new postoffice building is
now nearing completion, to be used
exclusively for that purpose.
We had the pleasure of meeting
with the active force in charge of the
Miners & Merchants Bank, which is
evidently one of the strongest finan-
cial institutions in this section of Mis-
souri,. This bank has an unsuually
strong managerial lineup, with G. r.
Bramblet as cashier, and Geo. H.
Karsch and Alvin j. Layne, assistants.
All are courteous and accommodating
gentlemen, who at once impress one
that they are there to serve the peo-
pie. Within the past few months
this bank has installed a 10000 pound
Mosler safe, guaranteed burglar
proof, which perhaps is the finest safe
in the State south of st. Louis. The
immense payroll they take care of
for the mines made the installation of
this immense safe necessity. AS an
indication of the impression generally
obtaining there in regard to this in
stitution, it is only necessary to state
that its deposits have increased during
he past year to the amount of about
100000.
