LABOR |ND|CTS
THE RAILROADS

CHICAGO, April 10. Wastes
amounting to a billion dollars annu-
ally were laid to managerial ineffi-
cheney on American railroads in a de-
tailed exhibit placed before the rail
road labor board today as part of un-
ion labor's fight against a reduction
of wages. Recoverable wastes were
estimated by the employees at $57S 800,
900 a year and other wastes, impos-
sible of estimation, would equal that
amount, it was declared.
The evidence submitted in the $1,000
word document, is aimed at the rail
roads contention that the present ma
tional agreements make for labor con-
ditiohs mot in the interest of honest
efficient and economical operation.
The employees point out alleged wastes
in the present railroad administrations
and maintain that if those deficiencies
and defaults n managements were re-
dressed and repaired. there would re-
main no reason for attempting to re-
duce wages. AS method of correct
ing wasteful methods and increasing
the efficiency of employees, the ex-
hibit advocated cooperative effort be-
tween management and workers and
added that this cooperation could best
be obtained through the medium of
uniform agreements reached by col
lective bargaining.
Recoverable and easily estimated
wastes were divided by the exhibit
under nine heads having to do largely
with construction and care of locomo-
tives and shop machinery, cost ac-
counting and labor turnover.

WINE
PL A n I TO
BUILD At
BORDER
Syndicate of Capitalists to
Take Over Big Merchant
Ranch Near CalexicO for
Purpose of Growing Of
Grapes. ss,ztt4

The Merchant Ranch Vineyard, 4
corporation of this or similar name is
in the process of formation at Calexi-
co, by valley and coast capitalists to
take over the DR.. E. B. Merchant
ranch of 100 acres, lying along the
international boundary about miles
to the west of Calexico.
The company with ample capital and
broad connections both in the United
States and Mexico is to plant the big
ranch to wine grapes for the purpose
of making wine, grape syrup, grape
sugar and other by products.
The location of the ranch, partly in
the United States and partly in Mexico
furnishes the company with the OPP
portunity of wine making on big
scale in a winery to be built from
the most modern and up-to-date plans
on the Mexican side of the border, with
the main office and shipping ware
houses of the byproducts to be locat-
ed in Calexico. ~
The capitalists interested in the
venture are not prepared at the pres
ent time to divulge their plans in full,
but it is stated on good authority that
at least quarter of million dollars
will represent the value of the plant
when completed, and it is the purpose
of the incorporators to make the ranch
one of the greatest vineyards on this
continent.
That the reaping of crop may be
had much sooner than in the ordinary
course of procedure, the ranch is to bs
planted to bench grated roots, which
will produce crop of grapes within
two years it is said. In the meantime
by inter-cropping of vegetables, small
fruits and berries the company will
proceed to reap profit on the invest
! ment while awaiting the fruition Of
the vines.
1t is stated that one of the most
famous winters in the country has been
secured to superintend the wine max
ing of the company, and force of
chemical engineers and other scientists
will be employed in course to manu-
facture the highest grade of by-pro-
ducts for sale and use in the United
States. The wine to be manufactured
will of course be sold in Mexico and
exported to foreign countries where
prohibition does not obtain. 1t is ex-
pected to make of the Merchant ranch
greater and more famous vineyard
than any of the old time wine making
plants of California, and to SECURE
some of the world trade that those
California vineyards enjoyed before
the advent of the dry amendment.

PAID HIGH
HONOR BY
NATION
Statue Of Liberator Of Vene-
zuela Is Unveiled by Pres
ident in New York With
Elaborate Ceremony.

NEW YORK, April 19.--The heroic
equestrian statue Of General Simon
Bolivar, the liberator of Venezuela,
was unveiled here today with elaborate
ceremonies, with parade to Central
Park, where the unveiling took place
with President Harding, South Ameri-
can diplomats and high officials of the
city and state and military and naval
officers present.
Preceding the parade there was q
luncheon at which the Venezuelan min
ister toasted President Harding and
the latter responded with a toast to
the president of Venezuela. This eve
ming at the Waldorf Astoria there will
be Il banquet given by the city of
New York in honor of DR.. Gil Borges,
the Venezuelan ambassador and other
high South American diplomats and
citizens.
Mrs. Sally James Farnham's design
for the heroic equestrian bronze sta
tue of Simon Bolivar, a gift to the
city of New York by the government
of Venezuela, was chosen from a long
list entered in competition by some Of
the worlds most famous sculptors sew
eral years ago. 1t was to have been
unveiled in 1015 but was postponed
owing to the war.
The statue takes the place of a
former figure of 'the George Wash
ington Of South America" erected in
1885 as gift from Venezuela and
later removed to make way for bet
ter likeness. Together with the de-
signs of other artists, chosen by the
American Art commission, all three
were sent to Caracas, where Mrs. Farm
hams was selected as the final choice
by a commission appointed by the
Venezuela government.
1t stands is feet high above a 16-
foot pedestal, and depicts the ''libera-
tor" who wrested from Spain the in
dependence of five countres-Vene-
zuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and
Bolivia-sitting erect on a spirited
horse. The animals neck is curved
by the reins holding him in check, his
main flying in the wind and the left
front foot projecting in the act of
charging. Bolivar, whole likeness was
fashioned by the sculptress from an
old photograph, is dressed in full uni
form and looks forward into the dis
tance as if nchanted by vision.
History records the fact that Simon
Bolivar intended to create" the United
States of South America" He was a
statesman as well as soldier and a
century ago advocated the abolition of
slavery and arbitration of information
al controversies. In 1905 when the
ideals of liberty born of the American
revolution were spreading abroad Boil
ivar, who was then % years old, swore
in the Monte Sacre of Rome to his pro-
fessor and beloved tutor, Don Simon
Rodriguez, "to give liberty to the new
world" He consecrated his life and
fortune to that great task.
During his life Simon Bolivar re-
ceived many honors from abroad In
1925, the family of George Washing
ton, for whom Bolivar had great ad-
miration, commissioned General La
fayette to present him with portrait
of the great American, together with
some of his medals, lock of his hair
and number of letters from Wash
ington to his wife.

Pest Killing Would Save
 Great Amount of Wheat

CBy International News Servicc)
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-If all the wheat now destroyed annually by pests could be saved and made into flour it would add approximately 29,i6%,7oo barrels to the yearly output of the ma ton. Statistical "sharps" of the de partment of agriculture make this as sertion and they have dclved deep into the dope" in arriving at this conclusion. Thep point out that the annual production of wheat in this country for the four-ycar period 1916 1919. inclusive. was 7S3.S49, 800 bushels. The annual loss from wheat disease during this period was l47,31S,5OO bushels.
 While 1t is not possible entirely to eliminate wheat diseases it is possible to reduce the toll much below what 1t has been in recent years, the experts say. Various branches of the bureau of plant industry are constantly working on the problems of prevent ing and controlling diseases of all cereal crops.
