Employees Try to Show Why Working
Rule Should Not Be Changed.
Chicago. Nov. 6.-Charges that the
Chicago & Alton railroad is overbond-
ed to the extent of $34,3S5,00O, and
that it is fictitious1y overcapitalized to
the amount of SIS, $685. 47 were made
before the United States railway labor
board today by w. S. Carter, former
president of the Brotherhood of Fire
men and Enginemen and present chief
statistician of the union. -.
Carter argued before the board
against the granting of the Chicago &
Atoms petition for a change in the
eight-Eour day as regards the ruling
of time and one-half for overtime.
Carter told the labor board that the
Impoverished condition of the Chi
cago & Alton should not be taken into
consideration. By eliminating ficti-
tious capitalization and bonds, he de-
clared, the road could reduce its fixed
charges $1,090,970.

The free exhibition of world war
portraits by Americas most famous
artists, was opened at the Mem rial
building this morning. The pictures
will remain in Topeka during the re-
mainder of this month.
These famous paintings belong to
the United States government art gall
lery at Washington, D. c., and are on
tour of the United States, before their
final installation in their permanent
home. Topeka is the smallest city in
which these remarkable pictures are
to be shown.
1t is rare indeed that a single col
lection of paintings, every one of them
the work of an internationally famous
artist, is seen outside of New York,
Boston, Washington, Chicago. or
Cleveland. 1t was thru hard work on
the part of Mrs. L. D. Whittemore and
other enthusiastic workers in local
art circles that the itinerary was

picture of the signing of the peace
treaty. The last mentioned picture
had not arrived on Saturday, when the
collection was hung.
Soon after the close of the war, 1T
was recognized by those interested in
aft and history that the United States
government should have a pictorial
record of the prominent persons in
that great conflict. and that unless
immediate steps were taken to secure
portraits, the opportunity would be
lost forever.

slsfs that a Navy af1oat," consisting
of $4,000 men, with a total enlisted
personnel Of $1,000 men and 1000 ap-
prenticee, will enable the United States
to maintain the eighteen capital ships
and auxiliary vessels allowed by the
naval limitations treaty. The commit
tee report bases this estimate upon
the number Of men carried on the
ships in question February / last. The
report does not say, however, whether
this is the full complement Of those
vessels on an efficiency basis. The
committee report denies purpose of
vitiating the treaty ratio. and insists
that it is only carrying out the Presi-
dents ideas Of reducing Navy ex-
lenses.
Secretary DENLY, in his statement,
said: Il feel that 1 should be recreant
to plain duty, however, if I did not
solemnly warn the American people
that the proposed reduction negatives
the results of the recent conference,
is dangerous to the country's security
and in my opinion to the welfare OF
the world" He also said the bill is q
challenge to the common sense Of the
American people.
Warning of that kind coming from
the responsible official OF the govern
ment at the head of administration of
the naval service cannot be whistled
down the wind. and iS certain to at
tract the attention of the p.hlic. who
will expect the legislators pushing this
particular project of reduction to sG,-

Organized Charity.

Commissioner Rudolph is out with
an appeal that citizens may so inter-
est themselves in the Easter appeal
of the Associated Charities that the
organization may reach it's aim of
having 10000 contributing members
ITO make Washington a city Of Or
ganized good will" is one Of the
phrases the Commissioner uses.
The civic value and effectiveness of
the Associated Charities are easily
demonstrable by reason and by facts
Years Of success are behind it. 1t was
born because of the necessity Of pro-
tecting the public against panhandlers
and beggars without need or con-
science. 1t is much more than merely
an almsgiving agency. but is a relief
agency. The giving Of this relief is
systematic, with the idea of meeting
the needs, SO far as funds allow, G
those who actually need help and can
be helped, and of denying aims to
professional beggars and cheats.
Funds contributed for charitable uses
must go to the kind of uses which the
donors had in mind when they gave
of their means, and not to that class
which makes a profession or a trade
of preying on the sympathies Of
tender hearted people and living of
unregulated charity.

Merchant Marine Aids the Navy.

President Harding and Secretary Of
| the Navy DENLY, it is known are well
aware that foreign nations are watch
! ing very closely the crisis in the Amer
ioan merchant marine situation, realiz-
ing that the United States is now at
the point when it must decide whether
l. will maintain an adequate merchant
marine or revert to the situation
existent before the world war. when
our flag was practically stranger in
the merchant bunting of the seven
seas.
The proposed merchant marine bill
has twofold objective: To enable
the United States to expand it's COM
merce upon more favorable terms and
carry that commerce in American bot
toms, and to keep in readiness at all
times an auxiliary to its naval
strength, shown by experience to be
essential to the conduct Of war Great
Britain and Japan will see to it that
their merchant fleets are kept up. in
adequate tonnage, at all times to be
Immediately available, while carrying
| Oh peaceful trade, to support the mill
tary of the nation in time of need.
The United States had forcible OBJ
ject lesson of the necessity Of mer-
chant fleet when the world war in
volved this nation. We are still pay
ing the price of the fatal policy pur-
sued heretofore of falling to be even
reasonably prepared. The question is
now actually before the House and
Senate whether we are to be blind to
experience or to use ordinary judg-
ment, profit by the costly lesson and
take care that it cannot be repeated.
The case was succinctly stated by
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board to the House and Senate com.
mittees considering the subject when
he said, 1T is idle to say that the
$50 agreement brings us in proper
tionate naval equality with the other
two nations involved unless we do
that which is necessary to build up
merchant marine of proportionate
size and balance to theirs. for all naval
authority in the world affirms that the
supplemental merchant marine re-
quired by navy is as essential to its
operation as capital ships themselves"

Two women announce that they are
making an ahs-npt to invade the SEN
ate, and no man can count the other
women who may be setting their caps
for the Senate. Once a senator was
quite "catch," and now they want
the Senate. Mrs. Peter Oleson has
been named by a convention as a
democratic candidate for the Senate
from Minnesota, and Miss Belle
Kearney aims, nay, she means, to be
senator from Mississippi In success
sion to Marse John Sharp Williams.
And there is a luxuriant crop Of lady

The NAVY Personnel,

When is a Navy not Navy? will
be a pertinent question in the House
this week in the discussion of the
naval appropriation bill proposing
drastic reduction in the number Of en-
listed men for the service and the cut
ting down Of officers for the fiscal
year 1928. There is division Of opinion
among the members Of the commit
tee which prepared the bill as to the
adequacy Of the rTovisions, and sharp
conflict of views between the COM
mittee and the Navy Department.
President Harding is believed to in
cline to the viewpoint of the Navy ex-
perts rather than the legislative.
Five republican and one democratic
member of the committee on appro-
priations signed a minority report pro-
testing the reduction, and two repub-
licans Of the committee on naval af-
fairs issued statements deprecating
the slashing. The Secretary of the
Navy has issued statement con-
demning the bill in severe terms.
The issue is clear between the ap-
propriations committee and the Secre-
tary of the Navy. The committee in
