"Urusuay is distinguished as being

In South America, but notwithstand-
Ing these two handicaps it has as
great motoring ambitions as any
South American country" said David
Beocroft. managing editor Of Motor
Age who recently completed a trip
II rough South America.
"Uruguays major ambition is TO be
the great pleasure ground for the
lands south of the equator. It has all
ready started On this route of travel
and has been making good high-gear
speed for several years. Uruguay
aims at no less a position than that Of
the Riviera of South America.
"rhcse ambitions are fast becoming
realities. Today Uruguay has more
improved highways for motoring than
Argentina, Brazil. chilli or any other
South American country. SO far is
her great dream of being the Riviera

realized. TIE wealthy Argcntines

LABOR is NOT A COMMODITY.

Columbus, Oho.-Members of the
Ohio Manufacturers association, in con-
vention in this city, were given jolt
by Arthur J. Eddy, of Chicago, who dis
cussed the labor features of the Clayton
antitrust law.
Don't confound labor with SO many
pounds of sugar or so many tons of sand
or STEEL said the speaker. Labor is
not commodity. It's human propo-
sition and the sooner you gentlemen
recognize that fact the better it will be
for YOU
1t might be stated that the Chicago
man is not trade unionist, even though
he expresses the views so long insisted
by organized labor
Mr.. Eddy is a lawyer.
The manufacturers indorsed the work
mems compensation law and protested
against the removal of members of the
State industrial commission for mere
partisan reasons. This position is iden-
teal with that of organized labor.

PROFITABLE SALE OF SHIPS.

San Francisco.-Owners OF Pacific
Mail Steamship company stock will re-
ceive $7,75O,OOO dividends because of the
recent sale OF these vessels to an east
ern corporation. 1t is stated that the
Southern Pacific Railway company holds
110,S00 shares. the remaining $4,000
shares being scattered. When it was first
announced that Pacific Mail would be
sold the seamens' law was blamed. Un-
ionists, however, pointed to the law gov
erning the Panama canal which makes it
illegal for railroad-owned vessels to en-
ter same. Later developments have ver-
flied the unionists opinion.

"RHINOCEROS BIRD" THE
LATEST.

Washington.-The committee on indus
trial relations delves into natural history
for a term to express its opinion of the
Washington correspondent to american
INDUSTRIES official magazine of the ma
tional association of manufacturers, who
attacks the commission, and declares that
politicians, as rule, are notable cow
ards when it comes to facing demands
made by labor organizations and threat
of loss of votes frequently frightens
them into doing things their better con-
science condemns"
This ill-temperate and bad-mannered
attack is reprinted in full by the COM
mission on industrial relations, with the
following introduction:
THE article is written by one of those
rhinoceros birds that are so common in
Washington. The rhinoceros bird also
flourishes in African swamps, He perch
es on the back of the rhinoceros and
feeds on the insects that he finds on its
thick hide. In return for this favor,
he warns the rhinoceros of the approach
of an enemy by flying into the air and
uttering shrill cries.

IDEALS ARE VALUED.

Milwaukee.-ldeals are the greatest
thing in the world and should be en-
couraged said DR.. Stephen Wise, New
York rabbi in an address in this city.
Ideals are the most worthwhile
things in the world,' he declared. "To
have an ideal and to be ever in the pur-
suit of it is to live useful life. The
men that the world honor are those who
have held to cherished ideals, even
though in standing by their convictions
they were a minority, pitted against the
world. Idealists, with their impractical
visions, are always in the minority; they
are always unpopular, because it is their
work in the world to stab away the con-
sciousness OF the majority And the ma
jority does not like to be aroused from
its slumbers, to hear indictments of
things as they are, for such indictments
are reflection upon them. Over and
over the idealist has rendered the world
priceless services"

"NO MARRIAGE TAX"

Uncle Sam hasn't as yet turned cal
culating eye upon marriage licenses, in
the way OF extracting revenue tax. A
message which came to the United
States Internal Revenue Collector Gil
ligan Monday proves that Cupid, in this
district may work unmolested by the
revenooers." 1t appears that in another
district the question came up before an
internal revenue collector as to whether
marriage licenses were not subject in
these war times to Governmental tax.
He wired the s. o. s. to Washington.
Whereupon Acting Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue David A. Gates, in Wash
ington, shot back to that internal col
lector and every collector in these
United States the gladstone news Mar
riage bonds not taxable"

DOES UNIONISM PAY.

Chicago.-Truck Drivers Union, No.
7O5 the largest single local affiliated to
the Brotherhood OF Teamsters has raised
wages $50 week for every man driv-
ing a team or automobile. Employers
first offered a 5O-cent increase and then
IS cents, but the 1,50O truckers stuck
by their original demand, which was
finally agreed to- and contract signed.
General President Tobin of the bro
therhood cites the history of this local,
formed in 1902 to show the value of un-
ionism He shows that since that time
single drivers have received $1,924 and
double drivers S2,1s2 over the rates they
