Federal Investment Bank.

Federal Investment Bank.
For the present have suggested
that the federal investment bank
should charge the state unit 0ne-half
of one per cent per annum. The
expense Of administration should not
exceed one-eighth OF one per cent, all
n excess of the expense to go into a
fund to protect the federal
investment bank against any possible
loss from any state loan.
But that rate should also apply to
all money issued to the federal re-
serve banks. It would not be private
profit, 1t would belong to the public
and after a safe reserve had been ac-
cumulated, it might be applied to
provide for real public transportation
land and water, soon solving that
problem, and saving millions of dol
lars in cost of transportation, which
would benefit producer and consumer
alike.
AS the federal investment bank
would deal with the several state
units, no additional congressional ac-
ton is needed. The state, being re
sponsible to the federal investment
bank, should haye the full supervision
Of the details in the respective states.

ATTACKS EIGHT HOUR LAW

The Adamson eight-hour law, which
establishes the eight hour day as the
basis Off compensation to railroad
employees is attacked by the st. Louis
San Francisco Railway company, in
a suit filed in the local federal court
recently.
The complaint is entitled. "A bill
for an injunction and equitable re-
lief" against the enforcement of the
law, which was an eleventh-hour
measure passed by the last congress
to avert nationwide railroad strike,
and those named as defendants are J..
Virgil Bourland, United States dis
trict attorney for the western district
of Arkansas; William H. Martin,
United States district attorney for
the eastern district Of Arkansas; VIM.
r. Land, local chairman of the Order
of Railway Conductors; S. a. Greg
DRY. local chairman of the Brother
hood of Railway trainman; j. A.
Campbell, local chairman of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers; p.
E. Estes, local chairman of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Fireman and

Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen;
g. F. Uppham, a member of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi=
neers, and F. S. Rowman, member of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen.
The suit is one of the most volumin-
Gus ever filed in the local court. 1t
is printed volume Of 1872 pages.
The suit proper, however. contains
only II pages; the remainder of the
complaint is devoted to four exhibits
of agreements between the railroads
and the brotherhoods, made PRIOR ta
March 29, 1916
The principal allegations are that
the system under which the Frisco
and all other railroads. operate does
not contemplate the establishment OF
an eight-hour day as basis for com
pensation; that milage is the primary
basis, and that the enforcement of the
.Adamson law would increase the
wages Of the employees of the road an
indeterminate amout, probably sew
eral hundred thousand dollars wear
A complete exposition of the salar-
les now paid by the Frisco is made

suit is made that the Frisco employees
