{ Colonel Morrow, have his salary all most doubled, and that the high offic- lalS in connection with the admin istration of affairs down there along with Colonel Morrow have their sal aries increased Those are some of the recommendations of the commis- sion that went to Panama, that took away from. the white American citi- zens privileges of employment that this government guaranteed them when 1t asked them to go down there to Panama
 "The men are not complaining of the reduction in wages. According to law they had to take the reduction, in wages. Their wages are based on the wages paid in the navy yards, and when you took away the bonus from the navy yard employees you also took it away from the Panama Canal employees When the wages of automatically that reduction went in to effect among the employees of the Panama Canal. They are not com plaining about this Government of ours violating its agreement with them which 1t made when 1t took these men to the Tropics, conditions which surround every white man working for concern in the Tropics. In doing this that commission has not been consistent. There is a whole lot more to that report that we would have liked to exploit before the In terstate and Foreign Commerce Committee if we had had a fair op- portunity and could have had hear ings to air the whole thing"
 After Representative Nolan's air ing of the matter on the floor of the House, the pressure became too much for Chairman Winslow and he finally consented to the hearing on the bill restoring the perquisites to the Amer ican canal employees. Six months were required to get a beginning in the program of restoring the rights enjoyed by American workmen III the Panama Canal Zone before the present administration came into power

Consideration of Constructive Legislation Is Postponed Until ReactiOnary Members Keep
 Election Promises to Big Business.

Washington. D. C., July 7.-Each month the legislative representatives of the American Federation of Labor make a detailed report of what Con- gress is doing legislatively. The pro- visions of the bills that are either in imical or beneficial to the interests of Labor and the people are set forth. Following Is summary of measures now before Congress which are of vital interest to not only the wage earners but all the people ercept the privileged few. If you desire further information you will find the com plete report of the legislative com mittee in the June issue of the Amer ican Federationist
 Consideration of constructive leeis- lation has been postponed until the reaCtionary members of Congress en- act the legislation they promised to secure their election in. 1920. In fact they are being prodded by the con tributors to their election. Just after the holidays it was noticed that cer- tain members, fearful of the results of the next election, were beginning to weaken on some of the legislation desired by the big interests. There fore, they were served with notice that not dollar would De COntr1Duted te their campaign funds this year.
 One of the ultimatums served on the members who were growing faint hearted was signed by MT. William H.. Barr president of the National Founders Association. In it he stated:
 "An election is coming next No- vember. The entire House of Rep resentatives/ will be reelected, and also one-third of the Senate. The . Republican and the Democratic orat- ors will be demanding the reelection of most of the present members, and campaign treasurers will be passing the hat.

FREIGHT RATES
 BOOST ICE PRICES
 ABOUT HARTFORD
Jump of 10 Cents a Hundred to Homes, More to Offices
 and Business.

Hartford, July 7.-Householders are now paying 10 cents more on the 100 pounds for ice, an increase from 50 to 60 cents having gone into effect July l. Business places are pay1ng 35 cents a hundred for 2,ooo pounds or over on each delivery, an increase of five cents. For each delivery of ice weighing between 300 and 1000 pounds the price is 40 cents a hum dred Chopped ice by the tub has 1n- creased from 25 to 30 cents. Othces which used to pay 90 cents week for office pieces must now pay $I.Io, and those who were paying SI.15 a week for office pieces chopped are now sub feet to a raise of 10 cents. These prices will obtain until further notice, say the ice dealers.
 An inquiry as to the cause tor th1s all-round boosting was answered with an assertion that freight rates are high. It seems that the ice dealers have not derived any benefit from the 10 per cent reduction made in freight rates the first of this month, at least one dealer said that the rates were sufficiently high that he must raise the price in order to make any proht at all.
 Whether the pay of the ice-men has been raised could not be learned. but it was inferred that ice dealers must take advantage of the hot weather to reap what profit they can, as they experience considerable ex- pense during the winter months, when little or no money is made on ice.
 One dealer admitted that should any dealer continue to sell under the majority, the present increase would nrnha hlN not last lOnO

Household Hints

Some enameled baths become
badly stained, and the marks are
not always easy to remove by or
dinary means. They will, how
ever, always yield If treated with
paraffin and salt. The best way
Is to soak a rag in the oil and
then dip this in the salt and rub
well over the stained places.
After an interval, wash the en-.
amel with warm soapy water and
rinse with cold water.
Copal varnish may be applied
to oilcloths and linoleums, which
may then be kept in good condi-
ton by polishing with an ordinary
furniture polish.
Before cleaning brass rub II
with a cut lemon. Polish II in the
ordinary way with soft cloths. II

the width Of the lens. When the
glass Is kept outside Of it's focal
distance from the paper It con.
centrates the light passing
through 1t into a circle smaller in
diameter than the lens, and a little
brighter than the surrounding
surface Of the paper exposed to
unconcentrated sunshine.
II there were no loss. but all
OF the suns radiant energy fall
ing on the lens were collected at
a point, the heat would be equal
to that felt at a distance from the
sun where its apparent diameter
equaled that of the lens as viewed
from its focus. The temperature
could then be raised to a degree
sufficient to melt and even
vaporiZe all known substances;
and In actual practice lenses have
been made that would melt metals
with concentrated solar rays.
