POSTAL WELCOMES
SUIT BY BURLESON

William ]. Deegan, secretary of
the Mackay Companies-Postal Tel
egraph System-issued a statement
last night in which he declared that
Burleson's announcement of inten-
ton to sue the Postal TeleRraph
System for over 100000 was ex-
actly in line with the wishes of the
company.
THE courts will make short work
of him." said Mr.. Deegan.
The statement also dealt with
comparative figures, by which the
secretary contrasted the treatment
Burleson had rendered the other
companies and the Postal System.
The statement continued:
"Burleson says he intends to bring
suit against us for S2.132,3s2 That
is exactly what we wish. We earn
ed $4,029,195, and he awarded us as
compensation $1.6S0.000. Every 9TH
er telegraph and telephone company
was given as much or more than 1t
earned. with the exception of two
or three little telephone companies,
where the difference was only a few
dollars. The Western Union and the
Bell Telephone were given $10.211,-
6S1. more than they earned. Burle-
son proposed to take our profits to
make up the losses of the Western
Union. The courts will make shor;
work of him"

Senator Asserts Three South

Louisianian Causes Uproar
When He Denounces 'Ex-
changes as Gamblers.

Senator Ransdefl, of Louisiana,
yesterday charged that cotton spin
ners, whom he said are now max
ing in some cases as much as 300
per cent profit, started and adver-
tised the so-oaIled overall move
ment" as means of increasing
their already enormous profits.
The statement was made in the
course of a debate with Senator
Conner, of Alabama, In which he at
tackled the Conner bill to regulate
the price of cotton.
Senator Conner. with a voice bare
ly audible. declared that stories Of
such profits were fictitious. Sena-
tors on both sides shook with
laughter as he denounced cotton
exchanges as gamblers, and de-
clared that the purpose OF his bill
was to make cotton prices respond
to the laws of supply and demand.
Everybody" declared Ransdell,
knows that oyeralls are made of
cotton, and nearly everybody knows
by this time that the movement for
the general public to wear them
started with the cotton spinners and
has been advertised extensively by
them.
AT least three mills in South
Carolina declared dividends of as
much as 800 per cent, and 1t Is well
known that profits in the cotton in
dustry have been enormous. The
operations of all cotton exchanges
with which 1 have come in contact
as a cotton producer have been
honest. and they have not INDUCED
in any widespread propaganda cam
paigns for profit"

WORDS MARK FREEDOM
FROM RULE OF METAL

Tho epochs of civilization may
be said to begin and end with the
discoveries of the different metals.
The primitive Aryans from whom
we English-speaking people all
descend. knew only one metal and
had only one word. copper" Sut
the Teutons. before our Anglo
Saxon ancestors left them had made
words for gold. silver, lead, tin
and iron. We speak of the diff
ferent ages of copper. bronze and
iron. Some have called the nine
teenth century the age of steel.
As man advances in his conquest
of nature by means of implements
made from ores wrested from the
hidden recesses of the earth. his
spiritual part is freed from it's sub
jugation to matter. and thus his
very culture may be said to be de-
pendent upon his mastery of the
metals.
1t is a far cry from the Bronze
Age to the New Universities Die
tionary. But the latter has been
made possible by the advance from
bronze to steel. And this paper
has made it possible for everybody
to own a New Universities Diction-
ary, a means of self-culture with
in reach of the masses. Our coupon
offer elsewhere in this issue tells
you how and where.
