HE'S STILL AT IT
Mean Libel on Rail Strikers
Again Used By Daugh-
erty

Washington. - The public press
quotes Attorney General Daugherty
that prosecution of strikers at
Needles, Ariz., where trains were left
on the desert with suffering passen-
gers, is continuing rapidly"
The attorney general is about the
only one who is now repeating the
libel that strikers abandoned their
trains on the desert.
Needles is not in Arizona. but in
San Bernardino county, California.
1t IS prosperous town of nearly 1000
population. Machine shops of the
Santa Fe railroad are located there.
as is one of a chain of railroad hotels
that is well known in the far west.
The passenger trains alleged to be left
on the desert were left in Needles.
This desert" story, which the at
torney general revamps, and which
was so carelessly used by the presi-
dent in his special message to CON
gress, has been repudiated by the
Santa Fe railroad.
In a letter to all Santa Fe ticket
agents on August 21st last, E. III.
Dallas, district passenger agent, call
ed on the ticket agents to give as much
publicity as possible to denial of the
desert" story, which seems to have
served the purpose of arousing pub
lie opinion against the shop men, and
could therefore be recalled, as it was
hurting business. The railroad Off
cial said, in part:
In view of the newspaper reports
circulated regarding suffering of pas
sengers at points on the desert, where
trains were stalled, wish to say, while
this is considered good newspaper
copy in the main such conditions
originated in the fertile minds of
space writer's for the daily press. The
1000 inhabitants of Needles, CAL, ap-
parently enjoy the climate. Admit
tedly it is hot in the summer months
but not sufficient to cause anything
more than temporary inconvenience
and that only to persons unaccustom-
ed to hot weather"
On September 28th last the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger editorially re-
pudiated the story.

LABOR'S GAIN
Is Small as Shown by Pur.
chasing Power of Dollar
Catholic Council Says So
Called High Living Stan
dard is Largely Myth

Washington.-f the wages of
workers in manufacturing industry
had the same purchasing power last
December that they had in 1914, these
wage earners today would be $1.35
Ito the good" over 1914, says the
national Catholic welfare council,
in a statement which shows that the
so-called "higher standard of living
because of the war;" is largely myth.
The statement is based on figures
issued by the national industrial con-
ference board, an organization of en-
ployers' associations.
Statistics issued by the United
States bureau of statistics show that
in December, last year, skilled men
got S25.56, which was Az per cent
more money compared with the cost
of living than they got in 1914.
The employers claim that the gain
is II per cent, figured on the. same
basis.
The employers state that in De-
cember, last year, the average skilled
man in manufacturing industry made
about 1926 year ($244S week.,
the average unskilled worker about
81 ,025 (S19.71 a week. and the aver
age woman about 1925 year ($15.86
week.
Measured by its own figures for
the cost of living" says the national
Catholic welfare council, 'all wage
earners in manufacturing industry,
men and women, skilled and unskilled
according to the national industrial
conference board, got on an average
| II per cent more in December, 1921
than in July, 1914 When the official
government figures are used the gain
is cut to A u per cent. If the larger
| figure is taken, wage earners were
$135 to the good in 1914 money. If
the smaller official figure is taken
wage earners were 55 cents to the
good.
I'm other words, if money were
still worth the same as in 1914, wage
earners instead of making an average
accordingof $12.35 a week would be
getting either $3.50 week or $3.50
week, according to whether the fig
ures of the employers organization
or the figures of the government on
the cost of living are taken"

CAN'T GIVE SECURITY

New York.-Approximately rs per
cent of the small borrowers in this
country are unable to give security,
according to statistics cited at the an
nual convention of the Morris plan
bankers association. 1t was reported
that borrowers give the following rea-
sons for needing loans.
To get out of the hands of loan
sharks; to consolidate numerous small
debts into one debt; to pay the doe
tor, dentist or other bills for health;
to improve or build house; TO eX-
pand a small business.

ing to the white house, that during the
period when the strikes were wide
spread the condition of rolling STOCK
was far worse than ever reported by
the railroad executives. This condi-
ton, it was said, applies not only to
locomotives, but freight cars as well.
"The question of seniority, it was
revealed at the white house, has
never been particularly vexatious
either to employer or employee"

corner OF Superior avenue and made
two trips up and down to test out
the repairs. Immediately alter dinner
the machine started for Iron River
and succeeded in plowing out the
road as far as the county farm. Next
day the two tractors started for Iron
River and got the road plowed along
It's entire distance. getting back To
the garage about midnight. Monday
forenoon the machines started for
Alpha but didn't get there. The chain
on the track broke when near Pete
Johnson's farm and the grader went
tumbling down the steep embankment.
The ten ton Holt came very near to
turning over but stopped when II
hung in the balance en- the edge OF
the grade.
The big machine was brought into
service and with It's assistance the
ten ton was rescued ard brought
back to the shop for repairs to
both the machine and the plow. AS
soon as repairs were completed
the crews started out again and sue

for the farmer There are so many
new inventions that now, when far
mer clears land. he has all the new
and labor saving devices. When a
farmer goes TO clear some land he has
the cross-cut saw which saves the
burning OF the trees, The crosscut
saw does not spoil the body OF the
wood. and then the farmer can take
his timber TO mill. Or. II he lives
| far away from q mill he can install
small portable sawmilI which will
soon pay for itself and help him very
much. for he can cut the much needed
timber for building OF all sorts
After he gets the trees and brush

economizing blasting powder. This
/, takes for perfectly green stumps only
two hundred pounds per acre. Or. n
he does not wish To use blasting pow
der. there Is the stump puller, which
takes little powder TO operate and

With either oats or wheat he can

But. this Is not preferable for he can

not have every acre in use so that II
