Labor" com bin q tion thereupon
reach conclusion as follows:
''The farmer end Of the Farmer.
Labor combination has been getting
most of the United States Senators.
1t now appears, however, that the
labor end is going to get most Of
the money. The next event there
fore is that the farmer will quit
the combination. We now see its
finish.''
Neutral Observers Views.
Other and more neutral observers
take a view which is precisely the
other way. They seem to see a
menacing step toward public owner
ship. They point out:
The northwestern railroads are
doing badly but the railroads in
central territory are doing .4"y
well. The 'Farmer-Labor' combine
ton has supported the McAdoo
proposition that in 1918 and 1919
under unified Federal control the
railroads carried freight, per ton
mile, at something like 10 per cent
less in cost than they have ever
been able to carry it since under
private control and divided manage
ment.
1.-THE 'Farmer-Labor' combination
will now maintain that the only
thing which prevents the poor
northwestern railroads from raising
wages and lowering rates simultane.
ously is that they are not unified
with the rich railroads Of the con.
trail territory.
These demands for higher wages
everywhere and for lower rates in
the agricultural northwest are a
lock-step toward a demand for rail
road unification.
Further Disruption Seen.
''Unification, however, means in
the end necessarily liberalization
and public ownership, which is
precisely the 'Farmer-Labor' ulti-
mate aim. Therefore we now see
not disrupting but a furthering
Of Farmer-Laborism.'"
Such are the opposing interpreta-
tons OF this weeks principal Wash
lngton fact. Meanwhile that fact
is as follows:
Something has got to break; and
1t Is either the "Farmer.Labor''
combination Or else the individual
separate management Of railroads.

Magnate Aims Eventually to
Control Making Of Everything
That Goes Into Car.

NaRn Sarvina

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. S.-Henry
Ford announced today that the
Ford interests had purchased the
Johannson Gauge Company with
home offices in Sweden and an
American plant in Poughkeepsie,
N. Y.
This is one of the most important
purchases Ford has made in recent
years. The Johannson company
manufactures precision instruments
that measure down to 1000 ,OO0th
OF an inch, and it's gauges are ac-
cepted as being the finest made.
This IL an important step for the
Ford company In that 1t means

in the Ford car, will quickly come

Hour Test.
Ford exhibited a part that had
been on an experimental test for
eight hundred continuous hours: so
far as the eye could discern it was
In as perfect condition as when it
started.
"See that" he said, indicating the
mechanism, "it fits, even now,
without rubbing and is as good as
when it started on the long grind.
Eight hundred hours on a continu-
Gus test is a long, long time. It is
a hard test. The reason this part
came through it is because fric-
ton was eliminated in the begin

Congressman Objects to Use
of French on Menu of
LeViathan.
What is "oofs?"

What is "OofS?"
Congressman Fred A. Britten OF
Illinois, returning to the United
States on the Leviathan, must have
asked this question more than
several times before he found out
that "oofs' was French for "eggs."
In the Ritz-Carlton dining room
Of the Leviathan, according to
Congressman Britten, the menu is
printed in French, but it doesn't
mean anything, either to the diners
or to the majority Of the walters.
Beef stew becomes a linguistic
horror on the bill of fare Calves
liver is Gallicized beyond recogni-
ton, and "hachis de volatile aux
haricots verts' is only chicken hash.
In a letter to Edward P. Farley,
chairman Of the United States Ship
ping Board, Congressman Britten
respectfully inquiries what is the
big idea.
While the first-class passengers
speak little French and read less,
they have their menus in that
language. The third-class pas
sengers on the other hand, can't
speak or read English as a general
rule, but "ham and is ham and
