Apparently the article was on a par
with the essay of the college student
who wrote: 1.-The lobster is a red
fish that swims backward" To which
the professor replied: every good.
James, except that the lobster is not
a fish, it is not red, and it does not
swim backward" Just before going
to press, the Censor was informed
about Judge vinje over the phone by
one whom we supposed knew some

INJUNCTIONS,
WHENCE, WHY,
WHAT FOR?

John P. Frey's magnificent work
entitled, Observation-Disclosures, Why,
What For?" will be issued in book
form, ready for distribution within
week or two.
Frey's articles ran in the Twin City
Review during the spring and sum-
mer and created profound impress
sion. Publication of this series of
articles was one of the first achieve
ments of the International Labor
News Service which made posi-
BILE their simultaneous publication
throughout the country.
Frey has elaborated upon those
articles, adding to them and perfect
ing them.
The book will contain what probab-
ly will be the most complete presenta-
ton available of injunctions used in
used in labor disputes, including the
recent Daugherty injunction.
The book will serve as an authori-
tative explanation of the injunction,
its source, its scope, its false basis,
and its trespass upon law, and it will
serve as a veritable encyclopedia and
reference work. America has had
nothing like it.
In an excellent, durable binding,
printed on good paper, the book will
sell at $3.50. Those who desire copies
may secure them direct from John
P. Frey, Lock Box 699, Cincinnati,
Ohio. For that amount the book will
be mailed postpaid.

Thomas Inskip, well known ]. c
engineer, was 40 years old Tuesday
and in celebration of the event Mrs,
Inskip arranged surprise party. Sc
when Tom came home in the evening
there were about 25 friends there to
greet him.
Several games were played, Five
Hundred being the chief diversion OF
the evening at which Mrs. w. S.
Martin won first ladies' prize and II.
Z. Bremen first gentlemen's prize.
Consolation prizes were awarded to
Miss Brown and George Jenkins.
After a delightful lunch, served by
Mrs. Inskip, a game called Laugh,

AGREEMENT is
REACHED ON BIG
FOUR RAILROAD

kilograms received by Local Chair
man Chester Graybeal of the Urbana
Federated Shop Crafts, are to the
effect that the New York Central
lines, of which the Big Four is a part
have settled the strike on the basis
of the Baltimore agreement.
The Baltimore agreement restores
conditions, wages, etc, to practically
the same status as those existing
prior to July of this year, including
the seniority rights Of the men. Ac-
cording to the agreement the company
has thirty days in which to recall the
men. Several were called Monday,
and it is expected the rest will be at
work before the time limit expires.
There is but little change in the
Illinois Central strike situation. No
agreement Of any nature has been
reached. The men are holding daily
meetings, and show a determination
to adhere strictly to the principles
upon which they struck.
Many /. C. men are leaving for
other roads that have signed union
agreements. Fifteen left this week
for South Pekin, where the c. & n
w. is putting on good mechanics as
rapidly as they can be procured.

HERE'S THE FINAL
EVIDENCE OF TEAPOT
DOME OIL GRAB

Charges by independent Senators
that the Teapot Dome oil grab secret
ly engineered in April by Secretaries
Fall and DENLY was Standard Oil
coup toward complete monopoly of
the petroleum industry in the United
States, are substantiated this week
by quarter-page advertisement in the
the New York Times, offering S25,-
100000 worth of bonds in the Sinclair
Pipe Line Company. The principal
sales argument of j. S. Manion,
President of the Sinclair Pipe Line
Company, follows:
"The Standard Oil Company of
Indiana has contracted to pur-
chase, for over Sl6,000,000 in
cash, one-half of the outstanding
stock of the Sinclair Pipe Line
Company Based on the price
at which the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana will purchase
one-half interest in the Sinclair
Pipe Line Company, the capital
stock represents an equity of
more than S32,000,000 over and
above these bonds"
The full facts regarding the Teapot
Dome deal were not only kept secret
by the government, but were largely
suppressed by the daily press. The
proposal for an investigation by the
government resulted in the appoint
ment of committee, but little work
has yet been done. In its issue of
June 10, 1922, the International La
Dor News Service said of the proposed
investigation:
"fhe deal will be investigated
to death. The cat will be killed
with butter. Truckloads of data
will come from the office of the
Secretary of the Interior to the
Senate Committee. The conser-
walton policy will be replaced by
a conversation policy. Meantime
Standard Oil will have buried its
octopus feelers into the ground
far enough and long enough to
suck out the petroleum"
Apparently Standard Oil is doing
its utmost to get its octopus feelers"
into the ground as quickly as possi-
BILE. Its S16,000,000 cash investment,
which is revealed by the company's
letter, is to be supplemented by $685.
100000 capital to be raised by the
public.
Apparently a Congressional inves-
tigation does not worry the oil people
and only constitutes an incentive to-
hurry the process of cleaning out the
great oil supply reserved to the Unit
ed States government by Roosevelt,
a conservation policy now complete
ly shattered.

L. B. THROOP GIVES
ENTERTAINMENT
OF MUCH MERIT

The two entertainments given by L.
b. Throop, mind expert of the world
at Miebach hall, Tuesday and Thurs
day evenings, were fairly well at
tended by local people from all walks
of life.
The entertainments were a revela-
tion 10 those in attendance, for Mr..
Throop stored away in his mind, to
be recalled at will, stock of names
and figures that would tax the energy
Of an expert accountant to figure out
on paper.
Prior to the entertainment he had
taken the numbers of several Liberty
bonds, hundreds of railway cars,
bank notes, grocery lists, etc. These
he correctly gave without mistake.
Throop is a member of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, under
whose auspices he appeared. The
proceeds of the entertainments will
be given to families of striking shop
men who are in need.
