International Clear
ing House Planned to
Better knowledge

Birmingham, Ala, April Am in
formational clearing house on a large
scale to render the whole range of
human information increasingly ac-
cessible and useful is keenly needed,
Charles L. Reese, an industrial chem
list Of Wilmington, Del, told the Am
erican Chemical Society here today at
it's spring meeting.
1.-THE efficiency Of our use of the
products of human thought and its
records is astoundingly low" he de-
clared. ''Why should we not handle
the packing, storage. shipping and
distribution Of knowledge as efficient
ly as we manage commercial pro-
duction?
ut is greatly to be desired that Ill
timately an international service OF
this character be established with
branches in most of the important
countries. that cataclysm such as
has. befallen Russia and might have
befalIen all Europe had the World
War lasted much longer. may not re-
suit in the loss to the world of a
large part of her wealth of informa-
ton.
1.-THE great war revealed to Ameri-
ca some of the weaknesses of its po-
sition. What Germany had in 1914,
because of her appreciation of sys-
tematized knowledge. we were COM
PEELED to create with feverish haste.
1--WE need not flatter ourselves that
America is exceptionally advanced in
it's consideration of international
needs. The chances are that in Ger
many, Japan and probably other
countries, plans have already been
formulated for the effective COM
mand of world International re-
sources in the interest Of national de-
velopment and prosperity.
1.-THE time is believed ripe boldly
to extend the plans of the Research
Information Service of the National
Research Council. An organizing
committee has agreed upon the fol-
lowing principles:
THE desirability Of developing a
general clearing house for scientific
and chronological information. The
conduct of free information serv-
ice to promote research. useful ap-
plications Of it's results and the dis
seminating Of knowledge necessary
for human welfare and progress, with
charge for extra service. The en-
enlargement of miscellaneous re-
quest service, initially limited to sci
entific and chronological knowledge.
The development of complete CO.
ordinated machinery for gathering,
classifying, locating and disseminat-
ing information. Utilization by the
service of correspondence, informa-
tional publicati IS and publicity. TO
meet the needs of organizations and
individuals and to educate the public
to appreciate the values of an in
formational clearing house"

CONN. MILL HANDS
 GET WAGE RAISE
Textile Workers Given 20 Per Cent
 Increase, Others to Follow.

Danielson, Sept. 15.-An advance in wages of textile mill employees in all northeastern Connecticut was fore cast this week when the Grosvenor- dale mills posted notice making a 20 per cent increase in the schedule now paid, and practically restoring the wages to what they were on January 30 last.
 Inquiry among the other mills indi- ,cated that the notices had not yet been posted in the Quinnebaug Val ley, but such notices probably would go up before many hours.
 After the war 1he wage scale was cut 22H per cent and on January 30 last an additional cut of 20 per cent was put into effect hereabouts, but it was not made effective in many mill centers in other states owing to strikes of the employees.
 The Grosvenordale mills employ about 200 persons and the increase will mean about $5,ooo week addi- tionally being distributed.

Another "Ham"
 SOurS on Union

Winchell Smith, playwright, who admits that he has been stage struck since he was a kid, is ready to quit. The reason is that the unions have entered the theatrical professions and "the good old profession is being turned into trade"
 There's no fun in it any more," said Mir. Smith. But nowadays! We'll the spirit has changed be- hind stage. The actors, 90 per cent of whom have nothing more to do than walk around for few hours every evening and say few words, spend their days in meet ings of their unions, where their grievances are told to them by the brainy fellows at their head. When you try to get little cooperation now they quote rules to you.
 i've been stage struck ever since I was a kid, but the unions cured me They take something out of the spirit of the theater which is having it's effect on the productions. And I think the ef- feet is going to grow worse as the rules are multiplied and as the good old profession is turned into a trade"

Buffalo Car Strike Caused By At

Detroit, Mich, Sept 15.-In it's ap- peal for financial aid in behalf of striking street car men of Buffalo, officers of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street Car Men expose the company union maintained by the Philadelphia Traction Company, which owns the Buffalo properties.
 The Buffalo strike was caused by an attempt to establish the company "union" in vogue in Philadelphia, known as the "Mitten Paln Elm ployes' Protective and Benefit Asso- ciation."
 "The plan contemplates denial of any relations of the employees with the American labor movement" says officers of the Amalgamated associa- ton. Under the pretense of tolerat- ing collective bargaining 1t holds out to the employees that they may elect committeeman from among their members in equal number with com mitteemen representative of the com pany Company officials), to do the business of the so-called employees association. This committee, however, must be elected, an equal number from each department of employees, and the total numbers equally with the committeeman appointed from the company officials. This, of course gives the employees a minority upon this committee Of control, and 1t af- lords the company an opportunity of directing the election of the em ployes' committed"
