"GOLD BRICK" BUSINESS MEN.

San Francsco-The case with which

men has always been mystery to trade
unionists
The William ]. Burns International
Detective Agency, however, shows that
the field for gold bricks" among bust
ness men is still extensive, for in a cir
cular signed by F. H. Tharp, manager,
it is stated that special reports on the
Baltimore convention of the A. F. of l..
will be furnished clients for $25.
The cost of these reports is so small"
writes Manager Tharp, that it is well
worth the expenditure to know just what
the captains of industry may have to
meet in the coming year"
Trade unionists call attention to the
fact that the convention proceedings are
always open to the public and that bust

$24.75 by writing to Secretary Morrison

SHOULD KNOW COSTS.

New York.-Edward N. Hurley, chair
man of the federal trade commission,
continues his bombardment against man
ufacturers who are unacquainted with
the cost of their products, and who are
continually insisting on efficiency"
In a speech in this city last week the
federal official said:
Manufacturers are unfair to them
selves, to their workmen and to the pub
lie when they continue to conduct their
business with an insufficient and inaccu-
rate knowledge of costs"
These manufacturers have been the
backbone of the agitation in favor of the
Taylor system and other sweating pro-
cesses, and now, trade unionists show,
these same men are charged by gov
ernment official that the efficiency they
plead for is entirely lacking in their own
business

COMMISSION MEN UNITE.

Philadelphia = Commission laundry
men have organized to force the big
laundries to lower rates and to prevent
the commission drivers from being
forced out of business.
One of the commission men said:
"Thc big laundries declare the cost of
everything has gone up, but the fact is
that they have taken advantage of slight
increases in cost to make tremendous in
creases in rates"
A commission laundry man is one who
owns his own business but does not do
the actual laundry work. This is done
by some laundry for him and he is paid
on commission basis.

OPPOSES REPEAL OF
8-HOUR LAW
AdamsOn Says Congress Is Unable
To COMPROMISE Plan.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1s-Con-
greSsman AdamSOn announced yester
day that Congress would oppose the re-
peal OF the Adamson Act, even though
the railroad executives and the brother
hood chiefs have planned to propose the
repeal and the substitution OF an ar
rangement OF their own. The result
of the Presidential election, he says,
has made the employers more anxious
for peace and that President Wilson's
stand for compulsory arbitration has
put the brotherhood chiefs in con
silatory frame of mind. Still the belief
is current that the final agreement will
be an Interpretation of the Adamson
Act that will allow OF the withdrawal OF
the suit to test the constitutionality OF
the act. 1t is expected a plan for the
investigation of threatened strikes will
come out of the conference.

Retirement of NJ. Strumer Is Considered
a Victory for the Liberal
Element

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Alexander Trepoif,
Russian minister of railways, has been APP
pointed premier, according to a Reuter-
despatch from Petrograd. The retiring
premier, NJ. Sturmer, by an imperial ukase
has been appointed grand chamberlain of
the imperial court. retaining his function
as a member of the counsel of the empire
Petrograd newspapers say that the APP
pointment of NJ. Trepoff as premier i'm
plies the necessity that the government
make communication to parliament eX-
planning the impending problem connected
with the work of the government
The retirement OF Premier Sturmer and
the appointment of NJ Trepof as his sue
cessor probably are outgrowths of what
has been referred to in few carefully
censored Petroqad dispatches recently as
IA serious political crisis in the life OF the
Russian nation
The change apparently implies a victory
Tor the liberal elements of Russia over the
bureaucratic regime. NJ. Sturmer always
has been prominent in the affairs of the
Russian bureaucracy, while NJ. Trepoff in
the past has been engaged in variety OF

ment also would provide that railroads
should not file new suits attacking the
Adamson law, pending the supreme

obtain legislation amending the Adamson

Miss Knight was in her usual health

PENOR JUSTIFIED
IN LEAVING HOME
Called "Old Fool'' and Monkey, by
Granddaughter, with Whom He
Lived-Findings by Chancellor.

Chancellor Leighton P. Slack filed
this morning his finding of facts in
the chancery cases he heard this week
IN Brattleboro. In the suit of Earl and
Nellie Simpson of Windham against Pc.
ter Penor for possession of a farm the
findings are voluminous. This was a
suit brought by the plaintiffs to secure
title to the farm which they had taken
with what they claimed to have been
the understanding that the defendant,
who IS the grandfather of Mrs. Simp-
son, would deed it to Mrs Simpson if
she would ''see him through. -
The chancellor finds that the Simp-
sons went there to live in April, 1911
and that matters were satisfactory for
the first year. He finds also that a
deed of the farm was drawn disposing
of it to Mrs. Simpson, but that the
deed never left the possession of At
tornev Loren +. Pierce, who drew il
and that subsequently it was with
drawn and destroyed
He finds that the defendant did tell
several persons that he was satisfied
with his treatment and that his grand
daughter should have the property
when he was through with it. He con
tinued TO live on the farm until Nav
30, 1914, when he left. The chancellor
finds that Mr.. Penor was justified in
going ard terminating any arrangement
there might have been because of his
granddaughter, who called him "old
fool and monkey" and allowed the
two children to do likewise
10 finIC thnf ba form l, hoo,, .o,
ried ON properly and is of more value
now than it was in 1911. The use of
the farm by the Simpsons was at least
of as great value as all of the improve
ments that were made on it. The val
ne Of the farm was 800 a year, less
taxes, above all improvements.
In the case of the Sugar River Saw
ings bank of Newport, n H., against
Lura S. and Roscoe Fisher of Brattle-
boro, which concerned foreclosure pro
ceedings brought to collect a balance
due on a note, he finds that the balance
due on the note is $173.75.
