y TT
NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The practice
Of internatio dealings in securities
under Joint account arbitraGe arrange
ments suspended by the stock ex-
change in 1913. was revived here to-
day. The only difference between the
practice as revived and that before
1913 is that dealings on the London
and Amsterdam exchanges will be
conducted direct from brokerage
houses instead of on the floor OF the
stock exchange.
Brokers said business of this nature
is likely to be more brisk with Amster
dam. than with London since rules in
London restrict such trading 10 actual
cash transactions. thus preventing
profits by short transactions. Cable
transmission to Amsterdam, also, is
swifter they said. :.

Approximately one-third receive
500 and less a month. About two

you remember that last year over

A Jump from 10 per cent to &c per
cent of teachers getting 500 and

Teaching in the country schools has
become a decently paid profession in
Wisconsin and not an under-paid odd
job. 1t takes a bigger person to

in a city grade. Good service COM

LENROOT'S RECORD
ON RAILROAD LAW

Senator Irvine l.. Lenroot is OPP
posed to the Plumb Plan of govern
ment ownership and employee opera
ton, because he considers it class
legislation which would injure every
other class of laborers and the public
generally. He regards it as much more
dangerous than socialism, and very
near to the Soviet system of Russia.
Lenroot opposed the Esch-C ummins
Railroad bill as reported by the SEN
ate committee, and made vigorous
fight against its vicious features. He
was one of the leaders in the Senate
in the effort to strike out the provi-
sion making the collective quitting of
work criminal offense. He also OPP
posed TIE guaranty provisions of the
bill, and the provision permitting the
Commission to take the book value of
railway properties as the basis for
making rates. Because of these and
other provisions he voted against the
bill on final passage. 1t was then sent
to conference, and there practically
new bill was written. He supported
the Conference bill because the objec-
tionable provisions referred to were
eliminated and the Conference bill was
great Improvement over existing
law. Under the bill as enacted, there
is no penalty against strikes, and the
Interstate Commerce Commission cam
not lawfully consider watered stocks
in making rates. On the contrary, no
stocks or bonds can hereinafter be
issued without approval of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. It has
been falsely represented that this law
guarantees a six per cent return to
the railroads upon their watered stock.
There was no guaranty of any kind in
the bill extending beyond September
l of this year. The only guarantees
in the bill were that wages of en-
ployes shall not be reduced before
September LIST of this year, the own
ers shall receive the same return as
they received while the roads were
under government operation. Instead
the railroad must pay the government
one half of all earnings in excess of
six per cent.

Election night, November End, is
to be a big night for the members OF
the Y. M. C. A. for on that night
there will be big doings at the Y.
At joint meeting of the Movie
Committee and the Social Committee
held on Monday evening Of this week
it was decided to receive election
returns of the general election and
in order to make the evening more
interesting a program was planned
which will include four reels OF films,
comedy land scenic, amusements,
music, etc. A big chart will be
hung on the wall, reaching from the
ceiling to the floor, and on this will
have the names of the states and
the number of the electoral votes,
and as soon as it is known which
Presidential candidate carried a state
the name will be placed on this chart,
until it is certain which candidate
has secured the election.
A special wire will be run into
the building and an operator will
be on hand to take the returns as
they begin coming in and these re-
ports will be read during the. course
of the evening. AS election returns
for the eastern states will begin ar
irving rather early it is planned to
start the meeting at eight O'Clock
and to continue it as long as the
crowd wishes to stay.
Coffee and doughnuts will be served
during the midnight hour at cost.
which will be about ten cents.
This program is to- be open to
members of the Y. who are in the
intermediate and senior branches and
cards will be issued to the members
during the coming week and these
must be presented in order to gain
admission.
1t is to be a great old night and
will remind one of the days when
there was so much interest in the
elections.

WISCONSIN TO BENEFIT.

Canalization of the st. Lawrence
river, completion of which would
mean almost undreamed of wealth
and prosperity for the middle-west,
has become an issue in the United
States senatorial election because
of Senator Irvine l.. Lenroot's lead
ership in the interest of this great
project. z
Deepening of the st. Lawrence
would make ocean ports of all Wis
consin cities on the Great Lakes,
bringing the European markets
thousands of miles nearer our mar
kets, which would mean millions of
dollars in increased business for
manufacturers, farmers and people
generally. No greater commercial
project has been undertaken in the
country's history.
Besides opening new fields of
commercial activities with the old
world the deep waterway would re-
lieve congestion of transportation
facilities in the United States, re-
leasing thousands of cars for the
shipment of coal and other neces-
saries of life. 1t would be a direct
means of reducing the cost of liv-
ing.

FRIEND OF LABOR

Senator Lenroot Has Always Stood BY
the Workingman.
Senator Irvine L. LenYoot has al
ways been the friend of labor. He has
voted for the measures advocated by,
labor organizations whenever he be-
Iieved they were just to the general
public. He believes that labor and
capital are entitled to square deal
aothing more. He is opposed to class
control by organized wealth or any
other class. He has been fighting spe-
rial privilege for more than twenty
years.
