the capital stock of the Federal steel
corporation is owned by the United
States steel corporation.
''In the same way the United States
steel corporation owns the Pocahontas
Coal and Coke Company, and going
further we find that J. P. Morgan Co.
and the financial institution just nam
ed hold majority of stock in the
United States steel corporation.
"a group of 25 men control 82 per
cent of the countrys steam transpor-
tation system, operating 211 ,280
miles of railroad. These 25 men di-
vide between them 1913 directorships.
This means that they average nearly
eight directorships apiece. These %
men sit together on the board of di-
rectors of 20 class l railroads. The
names of these 25 men are as follows:
Robert S. Lovett, William Rookie

ANTI-UNION PLAN
Runs According to Schedule
i'm California

San Francisco. - The California
Metal Trades Association, which has
operated on the anti-union plan since
November, 1919, has declared for
another wage reduction.
The union busters call their scheme
'the American plan," and made boast
full claims as to it's value. Now they
say: Looking the hard, cold facts
straight in the face. it is our conciu-
sion that we are paying too high for
minimum ability and getting too hit
tie for it, and we can either fiddle
along with few men at high mini
mum or put to work lot of men at
a much lower minimum"
This claim that lower wages will
result in more business is identical
with the claim made by the union
busters last August when they reduc-
ed wages.
In calling attention to this latest
wage cut, the Bay Cities Metal Trades
Council says:
1.-THE contemplated wage cut woulo
reduce mechanics in the ship building
and metal industry to a wage mucf
lower than laborers are receiving II
other industries and would be rate
only 80 per cent higher than before
the war while living costs are still
60 per cent higher than before thu
war"

BOARD INCOMPETENT?

Washington. - The United States
shipping board was referred to as IAN
incompetent set" by Senator Dial, of
South Carolina, in opposing the pro-
posed ship subsidy bill.
"The fact is, he continued, "that in
stead of trying to look out for bust
ness they have tied up ships to keep
them from carrying on business, |
believe that out of something in the
neighborhood of / 500 steel ships, they
were operating some time ago only
3S2. 1t is even claimed that they did
not have enough ships in commission
to carry the corn which we donated
to the starving people of Russia. So,
Mr.. President, | think that congress
ought to be very slow to throw away
any more money on such an incompe-
tent board"

Annapolis, Md.-Women are having

Conway Iearle-M Man OF Stone
1.-The Man of Stone" is fascinatR
ing production, elaborately produced
and is rich in interesting detail. The
opening of the picture showing the
river Thames, the parliament build
ings, streets in London, and finally
fashionable drawing room, are fas-
cinating. And still more so are views
of the desert, with Arabian and Brit
ish horsemen and caravans slowly
ambling or dashing wildly against a
dull horizon.
Don't fail to see this wonderful
production which comes to the Rialto
for two days commencing Friday. 1t
is adapted from the story of the same
name by Edmund Goulding.

Ezekiel Lutheran
Church Program

The annual Christmas tree pro-
gram, offered by the children of the
Ezekiel Lutheran Sunday school, was
held last Wednesday evening and
witnessed by an audience that more
than taxed the capacity of the church,
even to standing room.
Following a song by the audience,
devotion by the pastor, and two in
troductory numbers by couple of the
classes, the school as a whole under
the direction of their teachers, rend-
cred the sacred cantata, "The Child
of Bethlehem" The children did
well and credit is due them and their
teachers who have trained them and
who directed the rendition of the can
tata.
The children were assisted by Miss
Harriet Olson, Mr.. Lloyd Hauan, the
Mems quartette and the church and
Sunday school orchestras. Miss Marie
Tossing presided at the organ.
The cantata rendered is divided into
six parts, each based on portion of
the Biblical Christmas story. Supt.
Bragstad read the Scripture texts fol-
lowing which the school portrayed the
thought in tableau form.
AT the rear of the platform was
picturesque of the Shepherds receiv-
ing the Angels announcement and of
the Wise Men following the guidance
of the Star, which presented fitting
background to the theme developed
in the cantata.
At the conclusion of the program
goodies" We're distributed and near
ly every one received very tangible
manifestation of the Christmas spirit.
An offering was received for the ben
eft of the Children's Home.
The program was successful in set
ting forth the real Christmas mes
sage and in diffusing the spirit of
"peace on earth and good will among
men,"
