SPECIAL TRAINING
FOR EMPLOYEES

Courses available for all depart
ments at Pc plant
One of the most interesting an
nouncements in labor circles recent
ly is that from the management Of
the Proctor & Gamble Company re-
garding the inauguration OF special
training courses for its workers.
Any department Of the Proctor
& Gamble factory which desires a
special course Of technical training
in its work may have such a course
providing it can present fifteen en-
rollments.
Last month, a class in boiler fir
ing was organized, for the men of
the three boiler houses at the Ivory
dale plant Mr.. C. \. Joerger, boil
er expert of the University Of Gin
cinnati, is the Instructor of the
class Mr.. Joerger conducts two
classes on Thursday, Of each week,
one course for the benefit Of the
men on the three to eleyn o'clock
shift, and the other for those on the
seven to three o'clock shift.
The men are greatly enthused
over the new class and the attend
ance has been remarkable. Other
classes will be started just as rap
idly as applications and enrollments
from departments are received by
the management.
This is an entirely new idea in
factory management and one that
will result in great benefit both to
the company and to the men en-
ployed. 1t will make more valuable
workers, enabling men to advance
rapidly into better paying posi-
tons.
The Proctor & Gamble training
courses are not mere lectures. but
are definitely planned courses of
study, conducted in each case by a
professional instructor.

LONDON, England, Dec. "a
Reynolds Newspaper, one of Great
Britain's liberal publications. looks
with favor on the proposal that rail-
way employees be given a voice in
running the transportation systems
OF this country. The men will have
voice in everything pertaining to
the roads. The editor declares that
this scheme will not necessarily stop
strikes, but it will do much to avoid
the necessity for them. 1t will
help to create an atmosphere in
which a great strike should be al
most unthinkable, he says.
"A joint board, continues the
editor, composed of five general
managers and five appointed by the
working railwaymen, who will deal.
not merely with hours and wages.
but with all conditions of service
is very big advance on anything
we have yet known.
The principle of referring dis
putes, in the event of negotiations
railing, to body composed of rep
resentatives of the managers tho
workers in the industry and the
general public, is another innova-
tion which recognizes a really sound
principle"

Illogical Reasoning"
Of Newspaper Editors

WASHINGTON, Dec. 90
Many newspaper editors ad-
yanced their usual illogical
reasoning during the recent
coal miners strike.
These editors continually re-
ferred TO wartime wages that
permitted the miners to live like
millionaires. Later the editors
denounced the miners for re-
jecting the Garfield IA per cent
wage increase.
These "molders of public opin-
ion" do not appreciate the ride
ulous position of . man who
charges the miners with prof.
teering" and then praises the
Garfield plan. which its sponsor
stated was based on the theory
that the II per cent wage in.
crease would re-establish min
ers' living standards that existed
in 1918, or before this country
entered the war.

INDUSTRIAL CHANGES
DO NOT ALARM EDITOR


The London Times, which is
1 looked upon by conservative-mind-
ed people as the most influential
poper in Great Britain, is not
alarmed over what it terms the
new industrial order"
There is no reason" says the
editor. why it should not come into
the world quite smoothly if people
understand what is happening and
do not offer an unreasoning oppo-
sition"
The Times declares that the
real meaning OF the present turmoil
is that we are witnessing the birth
pangs Of a new order" and that
there is nothing alarming at all in
this, provided that changes are
gradual and tentatively introduced
and the public understands what is
going on. so that false steps can be
avoided or retraced in time"
The Times has in mind negotia-
tions now on between the Govern
ment and the powerful railway
mems union and also to tfH agita-
ton of the British Miners Fedora
ton for the naturalization OF coal
mines.
The inspiration back Of these
trade unions, says the Times, is
what is called guild socialism This
theory is referred to as hybrid be-
tween state socialism and syndical-
ism, but avoids the evils of bureau
cratic state control known as state !
socialism, and Of syndicalism, which !
would operate a business for the /
sole benefit OF the unions in con-
troll.
Under guild socialism the indus
try would be owned by the state, |
but controlled and run by the peo-
pie of all grades working in it. or
ganized as a guild. Railway and |
mines are monopolistic in charac- /
ter, are comparatively easy to run /
with purely technical staff and |
the workmen' organizations in /
these callings are more advanced. it /
is stated, towards the guild model /
than in most other industries.
The Times says differences exist
among trade unionists officials on
this question, but at any rate. that
is the direction in which they are
moving"
The editor fairly faces the fact
that beforethe-war methods have /
gone and instead of yiciously at
lacking any suggestion that
changes are due, he draws this con- /
clusion:
The complete program of guild !
socialism is chimerical and injudi- /
cious, but advances towards it in /
suitable industries may well be one |
of the forms which the new order
will take"

BIRTHPLACE,

other than that given in q brief adj
vertisement which appeared in the Ma
tional Intelligencer in the summer of
1915. Within a few hours after writ
ing that he went to the Library and
browsed through many books relat-
ing to Robert Fulton and early steam
boats, but hit upon no reference to
the steamboat Washington of the Po-
tomac. He told his troubles to his old
of the Library, and Charlie said that
he would put in a days work to find
out something about that particular
steamboat. The next day the Rambler
received from Capt. Huntington a
statement that he had found some
facts concerning the Washington In
"A History of the National Capital"
and published in 1914. He Enclosed the
following extract from Mr.. Bryan's
history:
EARLY in 1918 the Potomac Steam
boat Company was organized, and by
June of that year its boat, the Wash
ington. was launched at the shipyard
in New York. But two years passed
before the boat was brought to the
Potomac. BY its trip from New York
the first demonstration was given Of
the ability of steam to cope with the
might of the ocean. But the Wash
scription having tried the sea- not
only brought assurance to doubling
minds as to its seaworthiness. but
was the wonder of the day as an
annihilator Of space in having made
the trip in fifty hours. The first week
in June the Washington began daily
trips to Aqua creek, touching at
Georgetown. the bridge at Washing
ton, and at Alexandria. In few days
the schedule was changed to trip
every other day, so as to suit appar-
emily the stage time table. The pas
sengers then left Washington in the
afternoon. and the return trip was
made so the boat reached the Capital
city early the next morning, where
stages met it at the bridge and con-
veyed passengers to McKeowin's
Hotel, as the Indian Queen was at
that time named, where the stages
for Baltimore stopped"
It may be that the Potomac steam
boat. Washington was the first sea-
going steamboat, but in the National
Museum. as the Rambler wrote last
week. is the model of the Phoenix.
and the descriptive card attached to
the model says that the Phoenix was
the first steamboat to dip her bows
into the sea. 1t is related that She
was a paddle wheel boat. and that in
1903 she travelled from Sandy Hook
to Cape May. that being. according to
the advocates Of the Phoenix. the first
sea voyage ever made by q steam
boat. One Of the early Ohio river
steamboats, was also named tho Wash
ington. She was the first "two-deck-
or" on the western rivers. Her hull
was built at Wheeling and her en-
CINE at Brownsville. She was prob
ably put into service in 1915. She
blew out her cylinder near Point Har-
mar, in the Ohio river not far from
Marietta, on June .. 1915. scalding
many Of her crew and killing some.
There was q steamboat Washington
on Lake Erie. and she was burned
opposite Silver Creek on June Is. 1888.
Many of her passengers persisted.

NEW SCHOOL TAX
GIVEN KNOCKOUT

Frankfort, KY. Oct. 15.-The
court of appeals Tuesday held in
valid the act created by the last
General Assembly authorizing a
maximum tax levy of SO cents on
500 for county school purposes, an
increase of 20 cents. The decision
was given when Appellate Court
Judge Sampson overruled the mo-
ton to dissolve the injunction grant
ed by the Monroe circuit court in
the case of the Thompkinsville Grad
ed school against George w. Jack
son. He held that the act violated
section 81 of the constitution which
pertains to the title. Judges Carroll,
Hurt and Settle concurred in the
opinion. The knocking out of the
new special school law leaves the
old law in effect.
Under the old law, now in effect,
a special school tax may be levied
only when authorized by the vote
of citizens of the county.
Later
The decision of the court of ap-
peals Tuesday in the case of the
Tompkinsville graded school against
George Jackson. in which the court
held that the new school law in
creasing the amount that graded
schools can levy does not apply to
common schools as at first report
ed, according to statement given
out by State Supt. George Colvin.
