RAIL:E V|P|L0YES
START FIGHT ON
CONTRACT Plan
Declare Roads Are Farming
Out Work to Private Firms !
to Conceal Earnings.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-'The transport
tation act requires the establishment
of just and reasonable wages and
working conditions for all employees
not simply for the train service
employees. ! "
Are the carriers to be allowed to
deny such wages and conditions to
certain shop or n1aintenance-of-way
employees BY means OF this contract
ing out?" H..
The above are two of the strong
points made by organized shop en-
ployes in a brief to the railroad la
Dor board against the present policy
of railroads contracting their repair
work to private companies.
The Erie railroad originated this
scheme to get from under the juris-
diction Of the railroad labor board.
Thirteen other roads have adopted
the plan. These include the Pennsyl-
vania, Southern Pacific, Pere Mar
quette, New ork Central, Big Four,
Gulf Coast lines, Chicago Great
Milwaukee and st. Paul.
In their breif against the Erie's
contracting its Marion. Ohio, shops
to the railway service company the
railroad shop employees show that the
company is camouflage for the
Erie. The amount of capital which
the service company carries on its
business is $1,000. vet the payroll of
the Marion shops IL from $4,000 to
100000 a. week. The Aincorpora-
tors are known anti-unionists whose
wage standards is 80 to As cents an
hour. The manager of the company
is r. V. Blocker, former master
mechanic Of the Erie. who came
direct to the company from the serv-
ices of the Erie.

TO CONGRESS

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. s.
The central labor body Of this city
has appealed to congress against
the brutality of coal owners gun
men in West Virginia. The union
lists charge that Sheriff Claflin of
Logan county IL using his position
and the other county machinery to
prosecute miners, and that he is be-
ing aided by Governor Morgan, who
has assigned state cossacks for this
work. The cossacks are making
wholesale arrests for imaginary Of
lenses and Claflin, it is stated is
sues warrants without regard to
facts, while men are railroaded to
Jail without preliminary hearings.
The workers ask that congress act
to the end that this region of terror
be stopped.

deaths (including 80 women) are
charged to Industrial operations. If
the 5000 dead were burie ed side by

RAILROAD LAb0R BOARD Member
SAYS He WOULD OUTLAW STRIKE

Of tho public group on thetpresent
labor board, who were appointed on
the theory Of fairness, and who now
demand handcuff legislation for la
Dor. -
The partisanship Of Mr.. Hooper
was most apparent when he lectured
labor without stint and smoothed
over the managers defiance Of the
boards orders as follows: - ~.
ION account Of the fact that the
holiday season of peace and good
will is SO near will not melton amy
body that has violated the boards
decision. It is not in good taste
to hang lemons on the Christmas
tree"
Mr.. Hooper was equally solicttious
for the managers Of the 'Pennsyl-
vania railroad, who have repeatedly
flouted the boards orders and who
have secured an injunction to stop
the board from calling the public's
attention to this defiance. Instead
Of laundering against the offending
railroad, and demanding that 1t
obey the law, Mr.. Hooper makes
this sickly comment:
PERSONALLY. I am glad that this
honest difference Of opinion as to
the meaning of the law is to- be ju-
dicially settled. The labor board
is not sensitive about law suits
brought against it"
The speech was so extensively par
tisan that the question arises: 1T
it part Of a plan to discredit the
board and thereby make the fight
of tho railroads against the labor
sections of the railroad act easier

the days before the war, unless
Europe also becomes prosperous. A
war in the Pacific would have been
disastrous, 1t was worth every effort
to prevent it. But the economic COL
lapse Of Europe would be vastly more
disastrous.
It was a simpler matter to find
q solution Of the problems Of the
Pacific Islands than 1t will be to
solve the interviewer problems Of
Europe politics and finance and to
work out a sound program for the
economic rehabilitation Of the world.
War psychology had not distorted
tho relations between the sparse in
habitants Of the South Sea Islands.
Tho great Powers concerned were
honestly striving for peace. It is
easier to draw q frontier between
small islands lost in a vast sea, than
it will be to accommodate all the
notional animosties Of the old world.
It was not difficult to work out a.
;Adutually satisfactory compromise

moro difficult to strighten GU the
tariff tangles of Europe and the
!tlIorny and embittered question
OF Reparations. But also the stakes
involved are vastly greater. The
need Of a solution is moro urgent
THE gains to be expected from sue
cess would come home so much more
intimately to all of US.
The success which has met our
efforts in this first conference should
inspire US to turn our attention cour-
ageously to the more vital problems
across the Atlantic. Once we have
made up our mind to abandon the
Policy Of Insolation-as we have
done in this Four Power Treaty,
there is no reason for us to hesitate
before this larger endeavor. The
issue can not be long avoided.
And, as In the case Of Limitation
Of Armament. it will take united
and outspoken public opinion to get
results.

BANK BUILDING
=. ToC0S1|||' MONEY
John Shelton Williams Attacks
Prodiga|Ity Of New York
Bankers as I'monstrous" !.

! The expenditure Of $25,000,000 in
the construction of the new banking
building Of the New York Federal
Reserve bank is described by John
Shelton williams, former comptrol-
Ter Of the Federal treasury, as "mon-
srous." This vast outlay. in con-
nection with extravagant salaries
previously attacked by Mr.. Williams,
is pointed to as evidence of his re-
peated charges that the directors
of the bank are diverting funds that
should go into the Federal treasury.
Declaring that this waste Of pub
lie funds has been compared by well
balanced critics to the palmy days
OF the Tweed ring in New York
City," Mr.. Williams continues:
This building with it's luxurious
and lavish appointments Of marble
and brass, its auditorium, gymnas-
1um, club quarters, restaurants de
luxe. and objects of art will make
Solomon's temple Of old seem quite
cheap in comparison. It will cost
more than the White House and
Treasury building at Washington
and the state capitals Of a dozen
states of the union.
ut is a sad commentary on the
wisdom and humanity Of the reserve
boards policies to find that at the
very time that the New York Fed
eral Reserve bank was being au-
thorized to spend up to $25,646,4 400
for a luxurious bank building the
total amount Of money which six of
the Federal reserve banks were
lending in eighteen states, including
all of New England, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Ohio. Kentucky, North Carolina, the
greater part of Mississippi and parts
Of Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and
Mississippi, on agricultural and live
stock, was only $17,167,0o0, scarce
~ two-thirds the sum appropriated
for the palatial bank building
Ninety per cent Of the funds
handed out with such prodigality''
by the reserve bank, Mr.. Williams
declares, should have gone into the
Federal treasury to aid in reducing
taxation and the other 10 per cent
should be added to the banks
reserve.

FAMOUS STARS At
ORPHEUM SUNDAY

Two names famous in American
theatrical history grace the new bill
at the Orpheum theater. They are
Robert Emmett Keane. and Claire
Whitney.
Keane is the noted Broadway
comedian whose work In numerous
metropolitan legitimate shows has
made his name one of the best
known in the realm Of light comedy
He has appeared in such musical
shows as 1.-THE Golden Girl''a Vic
tor Herbert production and others
Of the same high quality.
Claire Whitney has appeared to
excellent advantage in numerous
picture plays. She is one Of the
most beautiful of the film stars and
her appearance behind the footlights
has proven veritable triumph.
Mr.. Keane and Miss Whitney are
presenting a. miniature play from the
pen Of Lawrence Grafton entitled
1.-The Cosby Sex" It is one Of the
brightest, breeziest and best noted
playlets that has been offered in the
varieties in quite sometime. It is
replete with humorous epigrams
and while essentially comedy has a
couple big dramatic punches that
are excellently handled by the we'll
known stars.
Tom Patricola, !ewho has been
known for many years as 1.-The dane
ing foop' is one Of the important
features In the new Orpheum bill.
With the assistance Of a. charming
young girl, Irene Delroy, Tom in
PRODUCES more "clowning'' than has
been seen here in quite some time
and his comedy darcing is, in the
parlance Of the stage, ''sure fire.
One Of the youngest Of America g
dancing stars will be an important
adjunct on the impending program.
It is La Bernicia who with a COM
pany Of seven people offer a series
of five dance numbers that are pro-
auctions in miniature. Dancers,
harpists, and others aid the young
star in the presentation of the vari-
Gus numbers which will prove one
Of the classiest attractions Of the
year.
Robert Emmett keane Is an added
attraction on the bill since in ad-
dition to his playlet the eminent
comedian is also offering his clever
single turn 1.-THE American English
man." It was while doing this
laughable monologue that he first
attracted the attention Of the big
producers and his appearance on one
bill in two separate acts Is one of
the most entertaining bits of novelty
offered here this year.
Zarrel Brothers who are enter
tainers Of merit introduce q series
Of thrilling gymnastic tricks. How
ards Spectacle Is something new,
different and novel. Boyce Combe,
a good looking young chap, presents
an original and novel comedy act
Drumming over with fun and song.
The usual novelties and incidental
music by tho Incompatible Orpheum
orchestra completes the bill.
Langdon McCormick's sensational
melcdrama, 1.-THE Storm" IL tho ex-
traordinary headline attraction an
nounced for the week beginning the
18th. "The Storm" as a big show
ran for one year in New York and
almost as long in London and Chi
cago. It features the most realistic
forest fire ever presented on any
stage.

New Book by Rev. Kristenscn.

Rev. Evald Kristensen, who is
known to many in Askov. has
just published a new book in the
Danish language entitled: United
States: the Country and People.
A number Of chapters in this
book are written by experts in
those special lines. our. local pas
tor, S. D. Rodholm, being among
it's contributors.
A chapter on the American
language goes quite into detail
rs to it's origin and gives many
illustrations of the growth of our
language and again of it's tenden-
cies to continually change. A
number Of comparisons with the
English language are given. The
foundation Of the American Ian
guage was laid by about 10000
English emigrants, but the Ian
guage has grown much since
then both in times Of peace and
in times Of war. Many humorous
illustrations too are given, our
tendency to abbreviate, even
Ford pet names, are not forgot
ten. The book contains much
valuable information and good
reading matter.
