To MAKE RAILWAY
STRIKES ILLEGAL
Senator Cummins to Intro
duce Bill With This Provi-
sion at Next Session.

Washington, Sept. Sine trans
pOrtation act, referred to frequently
as the "Esch -Cummins" law, which
weathered a series of attacks during
the present session Of congress, Will
be thrown back INFO the legislative
frying pan when the short session OF
congress begins in December.
Changes in the law affecting the
railroads are desired by railroad
bondhOlders, shippers, railway EN-
ployes and officials of the govern
ment. State railway commissions
are expected to renew their eff
forts to have the law modified.
President Harding probably Will
recommend several changes in the
law in his message at the opening
OF the short session. 1t is believed
he will support proposals to put
teeth" in the labor provisions of
the transportation act.
To Make Strikes Illegal.
Senator Cummins, chairman OF the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, will introduce bills at the next
to make strikes of railway
employees illegal, but which will set
up. as a substitute, some sort of gov
eminent guarantee that the employees
will get a fair return for their serV-
ices.
Against these efforts will be ar
rayed the forces of the Big Four"
brotherhoods which opposed the ere
alton of the Railroad Labor Board
and which now stand for the repeal
of the legislation which established
it.
Senator Cummins believes congress
can write into the law definition
of a living wage which will so far
toward preventing interruptions to
interstate commerce. He believes
labor should have the same assurance
of a fair return for service that cap
ital has.
member of the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
has introduced a bin prepared by
,he Legislative Committee of the Ma
tional Industrial Traffic League.
This bill was introduced with the
thought of getting it before the
country before the December session
at which time it is proposed to have
it considered.
This bill would make railroads
entitled TO a fair return on then
property devoted to the service OF
transportation under honest, eff
cient and economical management

A RADIO TAX.

So far most of the radio broad
casting has been controlled and paid
for by the companies manufacture
ing radio equipment. 1t was a nat
ural method of popularizing this
branch of wireless development. Re
Gently, however, many persons nave
begun to express concern as TO the
future of broadcasting. Once an
individual owns a receiving set he
can listen in, free of charge, on all
radio programs. viii the manufac-
turing companies always wish TO
bear the burden of paying for this
entertainment? Would il he wise
10 leave broadcasting forever in
their hands?
But why worry? inquiries the edi-
Tor of one newspapers radio depart
ment.
A small radio tax, this writer sug-
gests, is the simple and obvious de-
velopment. 1t seems likely that II
cannot possibly remain in the con-
troll of syndicate or any special
class of manufacturers. 1t is the
instrument of the whole people and
falls as reasonably under govern
ment control as does the postal
service
So far, in spite OF the fact thai
thousands Of citizens have installed
radio outfits in their homes, there
remain other thousands who have
not begun to make any use OF 1t al
all. In time, it is TO be expected
that radio will be almost as uni
yersally used as the mails, and
properly adjusted tax 70 cover 4
will be as little annoyance as thu
payment OF postage is now.

A GOOD SPEECH.

A certain American mayor who
got his early training as a police
man, and accordingly is a more
fluent walker than talker, promised
recently to make at a picnic 1.-The
best speech of his public career "
When the time came, he arose with
due ceremony and delivered the
following address:
I'm glad I'm here, and ! hope
you have all had as much fun as l."
A careful study of this oratOrical
effort should convince any com
petent critic that the mayor made
good. He must have surpassed him
self. He certainly surpassed by an
enormous margin of excellence the
average public speech for which this
country is more or less famous.
The piece is respectfully recon-
mended to public men in general as
a model for emulation. If speeches
in Congress, in state legislatures, in
courtrooms and on the stump could
be held to 16 well chosen words,
wouldn't it be blessed thing for
human sanity and progress?

MAKING PULP OF PALACES.

the famous palace at versailles,
France, is threatened with collapse.
A fungus growth has attacked the
inside of the woodwork and is re-
ducing it to a pulp. 1t is said that
beams rafters and much of the Won
derful carved paneling face destruc-
ton. Investigation is being made to
see if the trouble can be checked.
An instructive feature of the sit
uation is that the portions affected
have been subjected to a waterproof
ing process as a preseryative meas
ure. But this seems to have slim
ulated sweating of the wood with
in, which fosters the fungus growth.
1t is a condition which should in
terest those concerned with wood
construction and conservation.
The Bolsheviki and their friends
may approve of making pulp of pal
aces, but other mortals will hope
this structure of marvellous beauty
and historic interest may be saved,
and that the cause and prevention
of this insdious decay may be de-
termined so that like damage to
other structures can be prevented.

Portland, Oregon. September u
Nearly 5000 Episcopalians, repre-
senting every diocese in the united
States and few in foreign coun-
tries participated in great mass
meeting here this morning.
The meeting marked the open
ing of the forty seventh trlenhlai
general convention Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, as a white
ROBBED choir of $50 voices marched
down the main aisles OF the Port
land municipal auditorium, singing
the Hallelujah chOruses of the
church 10 the accompaniment Of a
mammoth pipe organ. When the
singers had filled the centre aisies
of the building they parted ranks
and continued their music, while
the 40 members Of the House OF
Bishops marched down the alsles
between them and took their places
on the platform. The choir followed
to the rostrum. 1t was a most I'M
pressive spectacle. The bishops
were dressed in their Episcopal
robe, their procession being led by
the most Rev. Daniel Sylvester
futile, of st. Louis, Mo, the pre-
siding bishop of the church. The
other bishops followed in the order
of their seniority.

Then was said Morning Prayer
by the Rev. Alexander Mann, rec

The aermon was delivered by the
Right Rev. Edward r. Lines,

Bishop Walter Taylor Summer, of
Oregon, was master of ceremonies.
Hundreds of Episcopalians par
took Of Holy Communion this morn
ing in series of communion ser
vices which were held in every

AN OLD WOUND RE-OPENED.

A review of the whole subject OF
war atrocities and the trials of war
criminals may be made in the near
future. The council of allied am
bassadors has notified Germany that
ii is deeply dissatisfied with some
of the verdicts reached ~ the Leip-
sic court.
The communication served further
notice on Germany that the council
reserves TO itself the right OF FUR
ther action under the versailles
treaty, but it did not indicate what
action would be taken. The council
has a right under the treaty to set
up a court of it's own and try the
cases over again.
How much could be accomplished
by a re-opening of the subject at
this late date is hard TO predict.
The difficulty of locating the ac-
cused, of finding reliable witnesses
and establishing the authority for
adequate punishment of those found
guilty would be great. Ii is recog-
nized, however, that activities in the
matter thus far have contributed
little to the dignity of justice and
offered little assurance OF future
safety in this tried world.

AUTOS STOLEN FOR EXPORT.

The expectation of stolen auto
mobiles has reached such proper
tions that the National Auto Theft
Association is campaigning for leg
islation especially aimed at checking
the operations between thieves in
this country and their representa-
tives at foreign ports.
There already is federal statute
making it felony to take a stolen
car across a state line. An amend
ment is sought which would prohibit
the export of any car whether boxed
or not, or the issuance of its bill
OF lading until its several numbers
have been inspected by the proper
authorities and found to be intact
and legally recorded. Also the
numbers must be proved not to be
on the list of stolen autos which
the amendment provides shall be
kept at the custom office at each
port OF entry in the United States.
The backing of automobile clubs,
priyate owners and trade organiza-
lions is sought to encourage the
passage of this amendment 1t
should be fully accorded. The fact
that auto thievery is carried on
upon such a daring scale that an
extensive export business has been
built up in it should be sufficient
evidence OF. the need for more COM
SreEensfNe' legislation to stop this
evil.

COLLEGE COMMERCE COURSES.

A new educational trend is shown
in many of the current college bull
letins. It is the increasing number
Of courses in domestic and foreign
commerce.
Commerce is as old as civilization,
for il has always been essential
to the development and continued
progress OF civilization. Yet it is
only in recent years that educators
have recognized the value of a for
nal study of commerce in the
schools. The variety OF opportuni-
ties for such study now is both
interesting and hopeful. u
Some colleges provide for exchange
students in these particular courses,
SO that young men or women from
one country may investigate business
conditions and business methods in
another land at first hand.
Keen commercial competition
among nations requires this special
study and preparation OF the in
terested youth of any progressive
land. There is an added factor,
however, which enlarges the posi-
bilities for good of this educational
innovation. A closer study OF a
peoples business methods involves a
closer study of it's thought and
daily life, with a consequent better
understanding of it's aims and pur-
poses and of it's essential human
likeness to other peoples. The col
lege courses in foreign trade may
prove to be as important factor
in furthering world peace as any
yet dreamed of.
