EMPLOYERS NOT INTERESTED

Boston.--The immigration policy
of the national association of manu-
facturers is not good Amerieanism
or even good business declares the
immigration restriction league. The
league says that.the makeup of our
citizenship is more important than an
easily filled pay roll. Under the
manufacturers system, il is stated,
1--WE would have a class of labor half
way between the freeman and the
helot-easily handled, perhaps, until
il blows up.
at is not even good business to
adopt this easy way of suddenly
stimulating good times by bringing in
cheap labor that will be put on the
waiting list as soon as orders slack
up. Ii gives flush times for while
and then somebody has TO carry the
idle and half-idle plants.
1--WE know for certainty that
there are still hundreds Of thousands
of the partly employed, whom some
body has to carry whenever the hart
margin of subsistence fails, who, un.
der such conditions, cannot become
contented and helpful citizens. Goot
business for the nation would take ur
this slack before we crowd the melt.

But many of our employers will

ABUSE CAN'T DISGUISE
STEEL INDUSTRY WRONGS

New Aork.-The steel industry's
l2-hour day cannot be remedied By
attempts 10 discredit those who have
called attention to these conditions,
said Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell,
chairman of the interehurch world
movements commission that investi-
gated the steel strike. This report
Is now attacked by Marshall olds, a
publicity man in this city, who has
written a 500-page book on "The
Analysis of the lnterehurch World
Movement Report on the Steel
Strike
Bishop Mcconnell says the commits
sion stands by its Investigators and
its report. "All the loose and wild
charges about the Investigators as
bolshevists and anarchists" said the
churchman, were perfectly known to
the members of the commission and
the interchureh officers and after
thorough investigation, were eontemp-
tuously thrown aside.
"Once again the members of the
commission urge their report of the
hours, wages, and conditions in the
steel industry upon the public for
careful reading and re-reading. The
12-hour day is still the rule of the
continuous production departments
of the steel industry, and undemo-
cratic and un-American conditions of
control still characterize many of the
largest steel plants"

President Johnston, Of the Interna-

STRIKERS LYNCHED
BY ARKANSAS MOB

Misunderstanding employees Of
the Missouri d North Arkansas rail-
road are victims of mobs that would
smash their strike. One striker has
been lynehed because, the public press
states, he resisted citizens COM
mittee.h During the two years strike
many workers have been driven out
of the state.
The railroad is responsible for the
strike, which includes shop men,
transportation employees and other
workers. When the railroad labor
board raised wages under decision
No. 2 this railroad, together with
other railroads, protested. The board
decided against them. The railroad
not only refused to pay the new rate,
but reduced wages below the old
standard and declined to appear be-
fore the board on the ground that it
is in the hands of federal receiver
and the board has no jurisdiction.
Then the employees suspended work.
Later the board legalized the rail-
roads wage cut, and since then eff
forts have been made to smash the
strike.

New York.--Red tape and over

declared DIR. Milton c. Whitaker, a
chemist of note, in speech in this

I'VE saw many cases during the

much organisation that there was no
one left 10 do the work. We still
frequently find organizations all
dressed up and nowhere to 60"
DIR. Whitaker indicated that indus
trial scientists have their troubles
with business men. He said the fun.
damentai condition for research work
in commercial organization was TO
make the high officials and those
financially interested understand what
the research was all about and what
IL might accomplish.

Picketing Not Upheld.

Sioux City,. Iowa.--Organized bar
bers of this city have lost their APP
peal to the state supreme court
against an anti-picketing injunction.
A barber shop proprietor declared
for the anti-union shop and reduced
wages and heightened hours. The
union maintained one picket in front
of the shop.
The supreme court said there is "a
fair field of persuasion and publicity
wherein the defendant may lawfully
bring such power" but in this case, OF
course, the theory did not apply. The
court took the usual position that
workers may state their. grievances
but where such statement Injuries
business, the unions act becomes con-
spiracy and intimidation.

LARGE ICING PLANT

Of This Character.

One of the largest and most mod
ern icing plants in the country will
he put into operation by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad System, at Hunting
ton, Pa, 33 miles east of Altoona,
early next Spring. The completion of
this station, at a cost of approximate
ly 100000, will greatly facilitate the
handling of the large volume of fresh
meats, fruits, and other perishable
products moving over the Pennsyl-
vania to the Atlantic Seaboard, to-
gether with the heavy seasonal crops
from Maryland, Delaware, Virginia
and the South, destined to points
West.
Two 700 foot "island" platforms
will be provided at the new station,
one for the eastbound and the other
for the west bound movement. Tracks
will be laid on both sides of these
platforms, making it possible for
each platform to accommodate two
trains at one time. Entire trains
will move directly to the platforms
on main running tracks, the cars will
be iced on an average of one minute
and the trains continued to destina-
ton without breakup or change of
engines. Delays incident to switch
ing and Redistribution will thus be
eliminated.
Working to capacity, the new plant
will manufacture 225 tons of ice
daily, with facilities for storing
1000 tons. Water used in making ice
will be Of a very high standard, OBJ
tanned from carefully tested wells.
