PoWER CASE SETTLED

Washington. January 24 Especial .)--The decision of the supreme court today sus- tainins the supreme court of Alabama in the case of the Mt Vernon Woodbury Cotton Duck company vs the Alabama Interstate Power company means, in all probability. the immediate beginning of the development of the Tallapoosa river for purposes of navigation and water power development.
 The case is best known in Alabama as that of the power company against the Tallassee Manufacturing company. It was based on the efforts of the latter company to prevent the power company from condemning certain property which, in carrying out it's plans, the power com pany thought it necessary to be con demned. Before the supreme court of the United States the Mt. Vernon Woodberry company set up the claim that condemna- ton for water power development was not m accordance with the Alabama law which requires that condemnation be made for the public good.
 The court held, however that the manufacture of water power to save man from toll is benefaction. Thomas w. Martin, general counsel of the power, company when in Washington last week. declared that the Tallapoosa riveh has never been developed on account of this law suit, which lasted prior to it's set clement more than three years. He de- clared at that time that if the action of the supreme court was favorable to the power company in his opinion work on the Tallapoosa would be Immediately tContinued on Page Three)

PEACE BETWEEN THEM

The fact that the President called the senator in his apartments, instead of suggesting a conference at the White House, followed by the telegram directed f, om aboard the Mayflower. is taken in Washington to indicate that the Ark ansan after having bitterly opposed the President on many vital matters, fnoiud- ing the proposed snip purchase pro- paganda of the preceding Congress, has been taken again to the official bosom
 At any rate, the agreement reached means, according to the opinion of prac- tically every democrat, that the Philip pine Island, at the conclusion of a shors and definite period, will be free, and the United States rid of problem vexstious and pregnant with every re- curing possibility of war with Japan or other foreign nations.

Washington, January 24.-President Wilson today began efforts to speed gress to clear the way for action on
 the preparedness programme. Before beginning his speaking tour this week to bestir public sentiment on the issue he will impress on Congress the de- sirability of disposing of pending leg islation so there may be as little de- lay as possible in reaching the >army and navy bills.

By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, January 2i-(Special.)-Ac- eording to an agreement reached by the President and Senator Clarke of Arkan- sas, independence to the Filipinos, will be granted not sooner than two years and not later than four.
 To the agreement a provision is at tached whereby in the event international complications exist at the conclusion of tle fourth year, independence may be de- layed until the conclusion of the next succeeding session of Congress.
 There is every indication that the amendment as agreed upon will receive the support of the democrats voting as a party and will be written in the or ganic law. As a result, a bitter struggle, which, threatened is obviated.
 In the beginning, Senator Clarkes amendment provided for the independence of the Philippine Islands at the conclu- sion of the second year following the adoption of the amendment The Arkan- san has the promise of support of many prominent democrats, among them being Senators Bankhead and Underwood.

to consider the worker as human being and to consider him as a hu- man being who can produce neces- sary munitions to carry on the war. Their ideals are not bit higher than those which animate American employers, except that they have discovered a new and hitherto un- suspected value in human life. They realize that the workers produce all wealth and munitions are the chiet wealth demanded just now by the nation.
 Iu All erica the employer, thanks to an unlimited immigration could regard as unimportant the human factor. The men employed in the steel mills were subjected to ths efficiency and speeding up system which have here been briefly out- lined. They were scrapped as old junk or wasted with occupational disease or again slaughtered for profits in the fearful industrial ac- cidents that increase as productivity increases.
 And it is most important to ob- serve that the lesson that England is learning in this war is absolutely ignored by the American manufac- turers England now realizes that there would have been no prepared ness for this struggle upon winch she is engaged like the preparation might have been attained by little attention to human life, conserva- tion of it's energy, the husbanding of it's health and the protection of it's body. Now the United States thanks to the most fnsidious and the most fallacious propaganda ever fooled a people, is preparedness mad. But it is still taking no stock of the human factor. It is increasing it's women in the indus tries. It is erecting slums that will shortly make the slums of Flu rope take a back seat. It is al- lowing occupational diseases swee2 the scythe of death through the ranks of thousands. It is unawed by the filth of the sweat shop end the tenement that decimates it's children with infantile paralysis. It faces tuberculosis with foolish palliatives and the last thing 1t thinks of building it's preparedness upon is a contented, a healthy, a vigorous, a comfortable, well housed and well clad working people.
