CAPITAL TO Be .
LABOR CENTER
Machinists' Chief Ayers Unions
Will Mass Reserves OF
Money Power Here.

Washington. If il does not already
hold that position, will be the fnan-
cial center of organized labor in the
have capital utilized by the people
who create it," according to a state
ment this morning by Z. G. Dawson,
secretary of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists.
SHOWS MONEYS POWER.
Mr.. Dawson declared that, while
the Norfolk AFFAIR, in which his or
ssnization forced recognition OF tn.
an experiment, IL, however, has DEM
onstrated the value OF money power
TO labor in achieving its aims.
II Is the purpose OF the machinists
10 stimulate a national financial sys,
tenn for the furthering of their cause.
Their international now owns the Mt.
Vernon Savings Bank in this city, and
is a large stakeholder in the Com
mercial National Bank. The orEani-
zation has no intention OF acquiring
control OF the latter bank. but 1t
hopes to centralize Its national fnan-
cial scheme in the commercial bank.
Tho wealth Of the machinists Is
shown in the resources of the Mount
Vernon Bank. which today totals ST.
100000, although the bank was just
opened last May with $S78,9S2 placed
on deposit without accommodations
on the first day.
TREASURY PILING UP.
Monthly 100000 pours into the
treasury OF the machinists interna-
tional as revenues from its affiliated
locals. One half of this amount is
placed to the credit OF the locals,
while the other half goes into the
International treasury. With this
enormous revenue steadily coming in
the machinists plan to build up a
formidable financial position to fight
for the principals of their organiza-
zion.
1--WE have no quarrel with capital
or the employing group. but simply
believe that capital should be utilized
by the people who create it as well
as by the people who heretofore have
controlled it," said Mr.. Dawson today.
I'VE have been working in complete
harmony with the big financial group
of this city, and are now aiming to
yccntralize our national money strength
in Washington"

Property Owned by Welfare

fer of Realty.

The plea Of the Salvation Army to
spend the money it collected here III
the recent drives, for the social bet
terment of Washington. will shortly
be in operation. With the announce
ment that they had purchased the
Dewey Hotel on l. street, between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets north
west, the first steps were taken.
with the money they collected some
timo ago they bought the building
at the northwest corner of Eight and
Il streets northwest with the idea or
fixing it up as hotel for women.
When the plans were drawn for the
renovation of the building, which
was used for many years by the CEN
sus Bureau, it was found that the
walls between the rooms were butt
SO solidly that tho entire building
would have to be torn down to make
necessary renovations. .
The Salvation Army officers, seeing
that this would be n waste of money,
began negotiations whereby they
could obtain a suitable building by
paying a little money and trading in
the T. street building. o
The Dewey Hotel was decided upon
several months ago, and yesterday an
nCuncement was made that negotta-
tions had been closed and that the
salvation Army would take possession
on March IS. The hotel will be run
on the same plan as are other saliva
zion Army hotels. and the prices for
rooms will be very low

work will be commenced on the big

PHONE PROFITS.
SLUMP, CLAIM.
Company Argues Before Public
Utilities for Continuance of
Present Rates.

Arguments for continuation of the
present telephone rates after they
expire on January 81 were presented
TO the Public Utilities Commission by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company at a public hearing
in the District building today.
TELLS ANNUAL PROFITS.
{. w. Artz, general counsel for the
company, testified the annual proht
OF the company, figuring on the pros
ent rate for one entire year, is Si52,-
900. or an per cent of the company's
valuation.
"The commission has stated the
company Is entitled to earn 100000,
or q per cent OF our valuation" said
Artz. Our figures show we are fall
ing far below earning this amount"
Harry G. Crete, CHIEF accountant.
testified regarding the earnings and
expenditures of the company during
the past year.
CLAYTON TO BE HEARD.
William Nick. Clayton. representing
the public, will present several re-
quests to the commission this after
noon. He seeks rebates TO telephone
subscribers for unused messages.
Experts OF the company state they
are prepared to present evidence to
the commission showing such policy
would be a burden to the community.
No opposition to the proposed con-
tinuation OF rates was offered this
morning. 1t is one OF the first hear
ings in many months wherein the
public has not lodged protests against
proposed rates.
BERRY QUESTIONED.
During the hearing Clayton inquired
of A. r. Berry, president Of the com
pany, whether there was any differ
ence between Government and private
telephone rates. Berry replied both
rates were the same.
Clayton also asked why the company
charged 8 cents for public slot calls
while a charge of q and ! cents is
made for some calls inside homes.
Berry stated this was matter for
argument; that il was done for eX-
pedience. and that the only way TO
remedy this condition would be to
raise the slot rate to 10 cents.

Their Car a Nursery,

When ranching in Montana I, &C.
companied by another bachelor, went
to a dance at a relatives ranch thirty
miles distant. The house was crowd
ed, and as It looked like rain we left
early. Midway to my home the storm
broke, our machine stalled. and at
the same time yells and cries from be-
hind mystifed us. Upon investigating
we found that two babies had been
put to sleep on the back seat. 1t vas
daylight before we succeeded in re-
storing the frantic kids to their indig-
nant mothers, and I'll say 1t was some
thrilling experience.-Chicago Journal.

New LIT Wing.

Of lift on each. Its action is similar
to the action Of the separate feathers
of a birds wing, but whereas the
feathers overlap (the front feather
overlapping the second, and so on),
with the H~andley-Page invention each
plane Is clearly divided by a slot.
With only a single plane fitted in
front Of the leading edges Of the or
binary planes of a D. H. 8 airplane,
the lift of the machine has been in
creased 55 per cent, and the length
Of the get-off and landing runs cut
down. Wind tunnel tests have been
carried out on model wings with five,
six and seven slots or airways, and
1t has been found that these give
about four times as much life as an
ordinary wing Of the same area. Flu
ture developments will allow for the
alteration of the angle of the planes
to be controlled by the pilot.

BEAUTIFUL LAKE IN KASHMIR
Manas Bal Is Unsurpassed In Its
Attractive Environments, Says
Writer.

One Of the most beautiful lakes in
the world Is Manas Bal, which lies in
Kashmir, amid a scene of striking
beauty, writes Temple Manning. The
iris flower Of Kashmir borders its
shores, great trees stand behind them,
and for a background there are noun
tains that rise in mists Of evershift-
ing colOrs to fade into the distance
Of blue sky and golden clouds.
The bottom of much of the lake Is
covered with giant weeds which in
form and outline resemble fir trees.
At other places the lake is deep, and
one a see only the silver reflection
Of the strange boat in which he rides
over Its waters. Among the weeds
swim strange fish, glancing and dart
ing through the clear water in plain
view.

A CHILD'S

All the bells of heaven may ring,
All the birds of heaven may sing,
All the wells on earth may spring;
All sweet songs together;
Sweeter far than all things heard,
Hand of harper, tone of bird,
Sounds of woods at shutdown stirred,
yelling waters winsome word,
Wind in warm, wan weather.
One thing yet there is, that none
Hearing ere its chime be done
Knows not we'll the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun,
Hoped in eav hereafter;
Safe and strong and loud and light,
Very sound of very light
Heard from mornings rosiest height,
When the soul of all delight
Fills a child's clear laughter.
Golden bells of welcome rolled
Never forth such notes nor told
Hours SO blithe In tones SO bold
AS the radiant mouth of gold
Here that rings forth heaven.
If the golden-crested wren
Were a nightingale-why then
Something seen and heard of men
Might be, half as sweet as when
Laughs q child Of seven.

Peaks Were Overrated.

Two mountains on the other side of
the Alhabaska pass named Mount
Brown and Mount Hooker, were
named In 1927 by d. Douglas, who
caused a sensation when he stated
that they were 10000 and 1890 feet
high, respectively. All maps since
that date gave these. elevations. The
British Colunbia-Alberta boundary
survey has just checked the height Of
the peaks and reduced them to 9.156
and 1912 feet, respectively.
