ChurChmen Talk
Like UniOniStS

Portland, Ore-"The report of the
social service commission of the Puget
sound conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, adopted at Van
couver, WASH, reads like the proceed
ings of labor convention" says the
Oregon Labor Press.
"The report, as adopted, demands
the repeal of the criminal syndicalism
law, favors the release of all political
prisoners, pledges to champion the
cause of free speech and free assem-
blage, and declares that the first
charge on industry should be living
wage.
"The report placed the church on
record as opposing legal sophistries
and injunctions, which, through the
employment of technical interpreta-
tions and injunctions, take from la
borers the right guaranteed them un-
der the constitution Of the United
States
In recording their opposition to the
syndicalism law, the church men re-
affirmed this magnificent free speech
declarations:
GAS Christian citizens we hold that
all of our churches should proclaim
the American principles enunciated by
Thomas Jefferson when he said: If
there be among us any who wish to
dissolve this union, or to change the
republican form, let them stand un-
disturbed as monuments of the safety
with which errors of opinion may be
tolerated where reason is left free to
combat it,

long distances by hazardous paths to
reach school.
Of the boys between 13 and 16 years
Of age 81 per cent, or 896 out of 1864,
and of the girls 20 per cent, or ABB
out of 1872, had left school for work.
Family need" was the reason most
frequently given for leaving school,
and the proportion of children enter
ing employment was greater as the
fathers income was less. About half
of the 483 children whose fathers
earned less than $3.50 a year had dis
continued school for regular work,
while only 11.5 per cent of the 113
whose fathers earned $3.50 or more
had sought work.
The average best days pay the year
ending May 81, 1919, among the mine
working fathers in the district sur
veyed was between 50 and SIS, but al
though the period was one of high
production, 81 per cent of these men
had lost time because of market fuct-
uations, car shortage and other in
dustrial conditions. Less than one
fifth of the men employed in mining
reported earnings of $1450 or more
a year, and only "A per cent 1880;
total of 231 reported less than $3.50.
Only 146 working children had at
tended continuation school out of 1920
legally required to do so.

Low Wages Force
Children to Work

Washington-Direct relation be-
tween child labor and low earnings
of fathers in a Pennsylvania anthra-
cite region is traced by the children's
bureau of the U. S. department Of
labor in a report on excessive child
labor found in coal mining district
in the central fields Of Schuylkill
county.
The report, which covers an area
little more than half square mile,
states that children in this district
suffer both from congestion and iso-
lation; 24,726 persons were found liv-
ing in this small area, 1882 Of them
with more than one person and 3045
with two or more persons to room,
in rooms that were generally small
and below a minimum standard Of
cubic air space. Children had to walk

Standard Oil Co.
Cuts Juicy Melon
iBY Federated Pressl

! New York-John ID. Rockefeller,
! Jr., is, or will be, in few days, $52,-
| 100000 richer than he was last year
as a result of the rise in the market
price of shares in the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey. Perhaps to signalize
this little "reward of thrift which
comes to Rockefeller as result Of
his foresight in choosing his father,
the Standard Oil of New Jersey is to
declare Immediately a stock dividend
of 400 per cent The dividend is to
be paid to stockholders in 1he form
of additional capital stock to the
amount of about 100000 600.
This juicy melon is the third which
has been announced within a fort.
nignt by the Standard OIL interests.
Standard Oil of California has .ust
declared a stock div lie nd OF 100 PEI
cent, and Standard Oil of New York
dividend of 200 per cent.
Other struggling American indus
tries which have done likewise are the
American Radiator Co., with a SO per
cent stock dividend, and the National
Biscuit Co., with a Is per cert stock
dividend
The S52,O00,000 which Rockefeller,
Jr., gets was among the things he did
not mention the other day at Y. M.
C. A. dinner in Tarrytown, N. Y. In
the limited time allotted to his speech
he was able only to bemoan the fact
that he had seen some boys playing
tennis who lost several balls.
81 thought right away" he told his
young hearers, "that lhey were not
the boys I would want III ny cfice,
for they would be equally wastefnl
of pencils, pens, paper, pads, etc "
The kind Of boy lie liked to have in
his office, he said, IS the hoy that
acknowledges God as his friend.

By demanding the union label the
wife of the trade unionist becomes
truly the helpmeet of the breadwin-

thus extended from the home to the

The break Of one co three and one

Atchlson's Heavy Traffic

w. B. Storey, present Of the Atchi-
son. Topeka & Santa Fe, who was In
New York yesterday, asserted that the
road has practically recovered from the
shipments strike and is handling the
largest traffic in its history. "a con-
siderable item in shis heavy traffic.
he said, "is the large movement Of
grapes eastward. This, however. will
decline from now on and do not ex-
pect that traffic for the rest Of No
vember will be as heavy as it has been"
Mr.. Storey stated that IL the Atchis ison
had more box cars it could make much
heavier shipments Of grain. wh lch
has been moving somewhat slowly.
DESPITE the fact that the strike is over
80 far as the company 10 concerned. he
said that outbreaks Of violence con.
tinue from time TO time, maxine it
necessary TO work the men under guard
and house and feed them.

The Peoples Gas Light and Coke
Company, one Of the Oldest public
utility corporations in the country.
was Incorporated in 1855. 1t has
practically monopoly OF the gas
lighting business in Chicago. The
period Of greatest expansion in this
company's existence was from 1897
to 1898, when ten established gas
companies were absorbed. The COM
bined properties produced nearly
Is ,0o0, 100000 feet Of gas in 1920,
and 22,000,0 ,000, 600 feet in 1921. In
addition the company purchased
more than six billion feet in each
Of these years. The property in
vestment was placed at Slo0,648,o00
in the last balance sheet. The $751;
100000 capital stock--all Of one
class--is preceded by funded debt
of s46,117 200, but in addition to
this debt the company guarantees.
$25,000,00o Of bonds, principally
those of the Chicago By-Products
Coke Company. On December 81,
1921, there was proft, and loss
surplus OF s1A,s08,ooo, and on that
date the net assets applicable TO
the stock amounted TO S53,3oa ,0o0,

Decline May Bring Tax-ssiling

The downward swing Of bond prices
has proceeded to point where many
investment authorities anticipate q
moderate volume Of tax-selling which
may extend to the stock as we'll as to
the bond market. The depreciation
from the 1922 peak Of several foreign
issues has been more than 10 points,
while losses running from to s
points have been common in both the
gilt-edged and more speculative in
vestment securities. The view was ex-
pressed yesterday that selling Of this
character might already be under way.

Reichsbank Rate Advanced Again

The advance in the Reich sbank's
rate from to 10 per cent. represent
ing the fourth increase since the

July, aroused little more than acad-
cmic interest in financial circles when
reported from Berlin Yesterday. The
German currency situation has gone
beyond the stage, bankers believe,
where the rate can be effective, a view
Of the situation borne out by the
progressive expansion of the weekly
output Of the mark printing presses.
The foreign exchange market, in wh ich
the continued rise Of lire waa the
feature, registered no response 10 the

The Prairie Oil and Gas Company

rumors in the financial district yes
terday. the board may also vote an

dividend, IL is understood, will be so
arranged that present shareholders will
receive ten new shares for each one
