; WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Con-
gresham Adamson, chairman of the

bill that includes every can't
strike feature of the Canadian in

The only exception is that the Cam
adam act applies to all pubic utii-
tiles, while Congressman Adamson's
proposal refers to common carriers.
although this term is used in such
manner that courts would undoubt-

The bill provides that where the
federal board OF mediation and CON-

president shall appoint a board of
Inquiry to whom the controversy
shall be referred. A report must be-
made within three months.
Pending these efforts and for so

lie WEALTH OF
A UNION-HATER
By MAX S. HAYES.

Any number Of writer's are now dis
cussing the wealth Of John D. Rookie
Teller. ST..
We were Of the opinion, which was
based upon estimates made by friends
of John D.. that his fortune amounted
to $1,0O0,O00,000.
But quite few who claim to know
declare that John DIS holdings have
swollen to $2,OQ0,O0O.OO0, which
claims, when we consider the enor-
nous profits that were poured into
this country on account of the war. as
we'll as the plumber that has been
gained through the conspiracies to
increase the cost of living, may not
be greatly exaggerated.
According to statement by the
American Economic league, John D.
Rockefeller's fortune is more than the
estimate of the United States govern
ment of the total wealth in any one OF
the following states: Arizona. Della
ware, Maine, Mississippi. Montana
Florida, Idaho, New Mexico, North
Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island
South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Yer
mont, Wyoming or the District of
Columbia.
1t is about equal to the wealth of
the following states combined: Ari-
iona, Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico
and Wyoming.
1t is safe to say that Rockefeller's
income is about as much as 200.
900 non-union laborers would receive
for working the year around.
When we contemplate the further
wholly active capital that is drawing
rent, interest and profit throughout
the year, during busy periods and
slack seasons, and that it is COM
pounded and reinvested constantly
with scarcely any risk, we are bound
to admit that the prophecy made
some years ago that John DIS grand
son would inherit $1,000. 900 when
he reached the age of 81 was a very
conservative prediction.
Money makes money, especially
when it is invested in governmental
and industrial bonds, franchises,
banks, railways, mines. oil and gas
and scores of manufacturing enter.
~ 1919 Liol az ~ oSSClSu NY
If Rockefeller should retire to a
jungle in Africa for the remainder OF
I his days or died and went to heaven
the grinding out of the profits on his
holdings would go on just the same,
and the grist would be and will be
furnished by the labor of the produc.
ing masses of this nation.
The people of the United States are
working for A master whose power,
although hidden in bits of paper, is
greater than that of any monarch in
the world.
A monarch can be dethroned. but
Rockefeller cannot be dethroned.

tenn and his power ,will endure and
grow ever greater until the System is
seized and operated to benefit all
mankind instead of small privileged

(By Call News Service.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-In ar
effort to 'atten down and tut the
movement for naturalization of the
telephone and telegraph systems of
the United States, the teleph- nc and
telegraph interests are concentratins
their forces on the capital. Having
failed to get :~tion on the bill for a
nationwide confiscation of the wires
David J. Lewis, chairman Of the
house labor committee, is now trying
to have the government take ovct the
telephone system OF the national CAP
ital. The Bell group is fighting owls
and the little group Of IA Zeal. CO.

The government, pays $1,000 a
year in telephone rentals. TIL people
of Washington pay over 4 cents for
each call, which is more than four
times what the Independent COM
panies Of Chicago, Pittsburgh, ~ndi-
annapolis and Buffalo pay.

denied the use of the telephone. 1.-The

UNEMPLOYMENT
CAUSES CRIME
New York Judge Says Contract
Labor in Prisons Should
Be Abolished.

The relation between bad sociai
conditions and crime is so clear that
no one can deny it, said Judge VIII
liam Wadhams, New York, who pre-
sides over the New York court Of
general sessions, the largest crinlina
court in the world recently.
Unemployment creates crime
During the period of unemployment
in 1914, we judges found an enor.
NOUS increase in crime. No one can
deny the fact that this was directly
due to industrial conditions"
Commenting on the case OF
Thomas Mott Osborne, former war
den of Sing Sing, Judge Wadhams
said that Osborne was sacrificed to
politics.
Cut off Graft.
osborne cut off graft" said the
judge. "He persuaded the legislature
to kill bill providing for the erec-
ton of bastile. here was $1,000, 200
of graft in contracts. Can .'ou won
der that the gang hates Osborne? He
found that the prison was paying
more for supplies bought from whole
salers than individuals paid for the
same goods i'm retail esta blishments
He stopped this and made more ene-
mics.
1T is charged that he coddled the
prisoners. That is not true. He save
them self-government and put then,
on their honor. The experiment was
u brilliant success. On going to Sing
Sing, he found a rich man there who,
though a prisoner, had his private OF.
flee and conducted his business as it
he were free. Osborne stopped this
and put the man under the discipline
of the prison,
Urges Better Saloons.
"He resigned, not because his pol
icies were failures. but because he did
not intend to allow politicians to
force him to work under conditions
which would hamper him. The con-
tribution that he made to prison re-
form is permanent.
"Self-government, the best way OF
rehabilitating prisoners. is impossible
in any .;rison which retains the sys-
tenn of contract labor
Judge Wadhams advocated the in
determinate sentence for all prison
ers. He also urged that all persons
charged with an offense should be
examined as to their mental condi-
lion.
He urged reform in the saloon
business as a means of cutting the
crime rate. Seven out of ten of all
crimes of violence are the result of
whisky, he said. IF the brewers
are wise, they will throw whisky out
of the saloons and handle beer and
light Wines"
