4.0J per cent on the railway value fixed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission. In 1921
the rate was 3.3 per cent. while in 1920 1t was
small fraction of per cent.
How this improvement in financial position
occurred in the face of serious labor troubles
forms interesting chapter in railway per-
Torrance.
The coal strikes descended the country
simultaneously on April l, and lasted for about
five months. The railways vitality inter
ested in coal. for they its largest
sumers and coal forms the largest single ele
ment in their freight traffic. More than
quarter of the coal mined each year is pur
chased and consumed by the railways. More
than third of their freight tonnage represents
coal. Anything that affects coal mining
Germs them both consumers and trans
portaton agencies.
In their capacity consumers the railways
7 stored an unusual supply of coal last spring.
This large supply on hand. together with the
tonnage they were able to secure from mines
that operated during the strike, enabled the
roads to keep their trains running without
rious difficulty: but They paid the price in
gradually mounting cost. From March to Oc-
tober the cost of their coal rose 81. SO per ton
of 1000 pounds. AS the monthly railway con-
sumption averages about 100000 tons. the
strike increased their fuel bill by some SIS.
600 600 per month
In their capacity transporters of coal the
roads faced more serious problem. In an
ticipation of the April strike. the movement of
coal during the first three months of the year
was unusually heavy. By the first of April
the railways had handled $4,000 more cars of
revenue coal than during the same months of
1921. During the five months of the coal
strikes. however. the movement was far below
normal. less than so per cent of the tonnage
moved in the period of 1921 In these
five months the railways handled 1,416.000
fewer cars of revenue coal than in the
five months of the preceding year They moved
all the coal offered them. but because of de-
creased production there at all times

create or manufacture anything for

sum Of human welfare. Everywhere
he stands between the producer and

This tissue of falsehoods Is re-
ported to have been uttered by one
who calls himself the imperial
wizard He may be wizard in
spreading the poisonous creed Of his
organization, but he displays no
wizardry in the statement tust
quoted. for 1t carries its own denial.
1t contains nothing but cupidity and
malice and a keen scent for persecu-
tion and slander. unless 1t be due to
hopeless ignorance and bigotry.
ITO think that these words should
have been uttered only four years
after the armistice, after the success
full achievement of a struggle that
enlisted the blood and treasure of all
the classes of citizenship of our coun-
try. and. among the foremost, Of the
Jews of America! To think that any
creature who miscalls himself an
American would have the hardihood
to utter such words only four years
after a war that could not have been
won but for the enthusiastic and har-
monious cooperation Of all the citi-
zens Of America, and foremost among
them the Jews of America!
The Jew In America.
ITO charge the Jew with being un-
productive is to disregard all statis-
tics and to ignore the most elemen.
tary facts that are familiar to all whe
know anything Of the Industrial life
Of our country. There are already In
the United States 10000 Jewish fam.
lilies engaged in farming, represent
ing q population Of over $4,000, dis.
tributed among the states Of the
Onion. They cultivate moro than
100000 anres Of land. representing
holdings to the value Of $1oo.ooo.ooo
and this, despite the fact that the
cultivation OF, the soil Is the last oc-
cupation to which the Jews, because
of their peculiar history and the
especial prosecutions to which they
have been subject, particularly in
Russia, have been permitted to enter.

~ has produced prosperity, which.
according to our outward re-
ligfon, is the chief end Of man. For
continental Europe the old year has
brought confusion and a gradual sink
ing into despair. For England the old
year has brought hope. but no substan-
tial benefits. and for the rest Of man
kind, for those who rtin wear their
shirts outside their trousers, the New
Year is Just another year.
There is a difference between the
years and the decades and the CEN
turies only for those who believe IN
progress. It may be . grand delusion.
Perhaps all this fldgeting that we cali
change is circular and not forward;
maybe the twilights purple rim to-
ward which we are going is only a
vicious circle and We are getting no
where. But those Of US who belong
to the section Of humanity that eats
regular meals and uses chairs, feels
that it Is on the way to some glory
or other, and by rights this year
should leave US ono short stage nearer
our goal
In America, which 10. after all. our
imms sdiate concern, II not our ulti-
mate anxiety. we have done two
things: we have calmed down and
walked up.
The bushes are not so full of boil
shevists as they were last year. nor
are business men breaking contracts
as they did in 1921. nor paying so
much interest, nor is labor looking
so keenly for work, nor is the old
sport drinking so much hooch nor
such bad liquor as he drank a year
aRo, and -we are much nearer what
will have to pass for normalcy than
We have been for decade. So much
for our calming processes.
We arc awake to realities as we
have not been since the war. We
know now that we are a part of the
world and must play a world part.
We realize now that we have been
asleep while the grafters and boodlers

1899 to 1910 almost 100000 Jewish
immigrants, whose occupations were
classified. entered the country. OF
these, 20 per cent were reported as
being skilled and productive workers.
and Ills per cent as unskilled labor
ers. In other words. about 50 per cent
Of the Jewish immigrants were pro-
ductive workers Of one kind or
another.
TT so happens that the great ma
jority Of Jewish workers In this
country arc connected with or or
Ganised In trade unions, and It Is
therefore possible to secure reliable
information as to tho activity of the
Jews in various industries. I have
taken the trouble to inquire Of the
ofiicials Of some of these unions What
do find? In the ladies' garments
manufacturing lines alone there are
employed approximately 175.000 Jews
throughout the country, while in
the mems clothing lines the num-
Der of Jews employed throughout
the country is 100000, thus making
$4,000 Jews in these two needle
trades alone. II other allied garment
trades are considered, it would appear
that at least 5000 Jewish workers.
or one-sixth Of thet entire Jewish
population Of the country, including
men, women and children. are en-
gagged in the needle industry alone.
There are in this country about 600.-
900 Jewish heads Of families. Com
pare this with the fact that half q
million Jews are engaged in the
needle industry alone. and decide for
yourselves whether or not the Jews
are producers. Practically the entire
population of the United States is
supplied with clothing by the Jews.

always been a calumny and myth.
And II there are times and places, as
there were and still are. when any
considerable proportion of Jews were
driven to the so-called non-produc-
tive occupations, 1t has been due to
the oppression and bigotry of the
very people who have exploited this
libel against them.
"It> has been due to the persistent
denial of opportunity to engage in
productive occupations. for which the
Jews have suffered in various pc

true in some of the countries where
bigotry and persecution yet flourish
and where civilization is at low

- expects all of the appropria-

House by the middle of jan
nary. and. judging by the expedition
with which the Senate has been act
ing upon those already sent over to
that body, they are all likely to be
in the Presidents hands before
March and the expiration of the
congress by constitutional limitation.
The House leader. at this time con-
templates no eXigency calculated to
precipitate an extraordinary session
of the new Congress in the spring.
AS the cracking of thorns in the
fire seems to have been the debate in
the Senate over the suggested inter
national economic conference. it re-
mains to be seen whether sufficient
heat was engendered to cause the pot
of discussion in the country to boil
The admin stration threw cold water
on the proposition as far as congress

is anprehended that some of the
league of nations followers at large
may have been warmed into revived
expectation of seeing their ideals in

happy anticipation is futile.

What is the difference between the
Senate proposition and the plan which
the admin stration now suggests to
deal with the foreign economic situ
alton? may be asked.
The amendment proposed in the
Senate. if effected. would have COM
mitted the United States to a treaty
making conference of unknown scope
and of boundless possibilities. for the
results of which the United States,
being initiator Of the scheme. would
have been morally responsible.
The administrations plan contem-
plates a finding Of facts by tribunal

the voluntary acceptance by the pow
ers concerned. without the United
states being committed to particle

In the course of his speech at New

Of State Hughes let drop a signifi-

over attempted forcible settlement Of
the reparations question, which. 1t is
feared. France may in desperation
undertake.
1t would seem that in such event
the United States would not go along
with France. but would be found with
England.
