DISABLED MEN
CLIMB TOWER
TO SEE CLOCK
Soldiers, Being Trained in
Clock Repairing; Taken
up $50 Steps


london, Sept. 13.-Fifty disabled
soldiers. many of Yhom had lost
leg in the war and wore an arti-
fetal ono in it's place, climbed tie
$50 steps of the House of Commons
tower the other afternoon to study
the mechanism of big Ben" the
giant timepiece. The soldiers arc
being trained by the Ministry of
Labor in watch and clock repair,
ing.
One, spying the clock mechanism
exclaimed: rs this the works? 1t
looks more like a blinking printing
machine"
A guide told the party that the
clock was designed by Lord Grlm-
thorp and was placed in the tower
in 1859. 1t has been working for
sixty years and is still regarded DIS
one of the best timekeepers in tie
world.
The minute hand is fourteen feLt
long and weights 224 pounds, ard
the pendulum, which requires two
seconds to complete each swing,
weighs 700 pounds. The bell which
sounds the hours has a diameter of

1t may deal with other phases of the
problem.
1.-THE Cummins bill provides that
for the purpose of rate-making the
Interstate Commerce Commission
should divide the railways into rate
making groups, and shall from time
to time determine the value of the
property in each group. and so low
er or advance the rates of trans
portation as to provide a fair re-
turn uwon the value of the property
in the group. 1t requires the Com
mission to consider, among other
things, the requirement for addi-
tional capital in order to enable the
carriers to perform their duties to
the public. and the conditions un-
der which the same can be secured.
But the bill contains a provision
which seems to be inconsistent with
these, and adapted largely to nulllfy
the good effects which they would
tend to produce. Section 6 pro-
vides that "if any carrier shall re-
ceive from operation in any year
more than n fair return the
excess above such fair return shall
be paid to the transportation board
within the first four months of the
succeeding year. This provision, if
we interpret 1t correctly. means that
II any railway company shall earn
any more than the Commission shall
have held to be a fair return all
such surplus earnings shall be taken
from 1t and used for purposes which
have no relationship to the progress
or prosperity of the railroad earn
ing the surplus"

Warns Packers to
Accept Regulation

Washington, Sept. 13.-Excoria-

the burden of a three-hour argu-
ment, made before the Senate Agri-
cultural Committee late yesterday,
by Edward L. Burke, of Omaha,
Neb., vice-president of the American
National Live Stock Association,
who asked the immediate passage
of the Kendrick and Kenyon bills
for Federal regulation of the pack
ing industry.
What the big packers need" Mr..
Burke declared "is commonsense
enough to accept fair Federal regu-

is that they think themselves big
ger than the government. and the
end of the course will be to send
