Farm Labor Shortage.

st. Paul. Feb. "a shortage of farm
laborers and woodsmen is in evidence
throughout the northwest today and
this is expected to become acute in the
spring. State officials report that there
are plenty of men who want work on
highway construction and in building
construction jobs. This is explained
by the fact that many Of these men
hope to secure jobs in the new Ford
factory and want to stick around, y"
instead of seeking the farms and lumber
camps. 1t has already been announced
that wages in the building trades would
be advanced 10 per cent June /, and
similar advances are expected in other
lines.

In 1922 the income of the B. & 0.
was 12,4991 ,220; in 1923 it was 1884,

The former railroad was among the
first to settle with the striking shop

ing to conduct the "open shop, and as
a result the Baltimore and Ohio shows
an increase of almost 200 percent in
its net income for 1923 as compared

Hired Man
TEMPTING PROVIDENCE

If the Fool Killer would drop in
on US he would find bright and shin
ing subject, right here in Newark in
the person of the bird who drives one
of the passenger automobiles operat-
ing between this city and Columbus,
whose disregard for the safety OF
those he carries should be looked into.
Last Friday morning this man, who
operates seven-passenger car, left
Newark with more than that number,
and when he pulled out of Granville
eleven persons were crowded into the
machine, three of whom were jam
med into the front seat alongside the
driver. In case of an emergency
what possible chance would the oper-
ator have to save his passengers from
disaster?
If the next to God all-powered Util-
tiles Commission would pay more at.
tention to matters of this nature and
cease meddling with municipal af-
fairs, they might possibly accomplish
more for the general public welfare
and certainly would better satisfy the
common people.

ferred to is not one of those operated

Many German Hotels
Are Forced to Close

Berlin.-Of the 10000 employees in
the restaurant, hotel and catering in
dustry Of Berlin, six thousand have
already been thrown out of employ
ment as result of the appallin" de-
cline of the industry. These six thou
sand come fromm some $4,000 larger
or smaller establishments and include
800 hotel walters, 1900 restaurant
walters, $50 cafe walters, 500 cooks,
$50 helpers, and over 1000 maids and
mattresses. Their number is growing
daily
1t is reported that 80 percent of the
hotel rooms are unoccupied. Many of
the best known hotels are considered
lucky if ten pedsons lunch there daily.
The small restaurants, to which the
middle class used to resort, are being
forced to the wall one after the other,
because the owners are unable to keep
up with the daily changing prices, and
because middle-class people generally
carry their lunches with them.
AS an example of the economic
hopelessness of the situation it may
be noted that the Hotel Esplanade, in
which for instance, the Russian SOVIET
delegation was housed on passing
through Berlin en- route to the Genoa
economic conference in 1922, has been
partly changed over into offices for
Hugo SHINES. The Hotel Excelsior,
which especially caters to Americans
and Englishmen, has been converted
into office buildings.
1t is humorously being remarked
that the Hotel Adlon manages to keep
alive only because the American COR
respondents are regular and devoted
patrons of it's bar.

New York.-If you want the "dope"
on railroad earnings go down to Wall
Street, where they make a speciality
of finance.
Expert accountants have been an
alyzing railroad reports for the bene-

their findings border on the sensa-
tional.
Figures showing the net income of
leading railroads for the first nine
months of 1923 have been prepared
by Thomas Gibson, recognized au-
thority in Wall Street.
The net income Of a railroad is
really it's net profit. 1t is the amount
left after all expenses have been paid,
including taxes and interest on bonds.

Manufacturers Fight
Shoddy Wool Label

New York-At a meeting in this
city wooden manufacturers prepared
plans to oppose the French-Capper
bill in the national congress which
would compel manufacturers to label
their goods with the percentage of
each kind of material contained there
in. 1t was charged that the law is
unworkable and unenforceable, and
"would place premium on dishones-
ty" Now manufacturers can use just
enough virgin wool to hold their
shoddy together and can label it "pure
WOOL"
The French -Capper bill does not op-
pose the use Of shoddy, but it pro-
vides that if customer buys shoddy
he will know what he spends his
money for.

Would Freeze Out
The LabOr-Farmers

ngton-Henrik Shipstead and
Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor party
senators from Minnesota, are threat
ened with exclusion from the Repub-
lican and Democratic party lists of
committee assignment when congress
meets. The G. o. P. leaders say that
the Minnesotans are not Republicans,
and the Democratic leaders disown
them.
In point of fact, Johnson and Ship
stead have received their election at
the hands of progressive Republican
and Democratic voters alike, but they
have been candidates in the Repub-
lican primaries. In 1913 Johnson was
elected to the state senate as a Re
publican, while Shipstead nearly de-
feated Andrew j. Volstead for the
Republican nomination for congress.
In 1920 Shipstead ran for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor, while
Johnson again was Republican can
didate for the state senate. After
the old guard has emasculated the
state primary law, they were forced
out of the regular organization, but
the bulk of the Republican voters
went out with them.
On this showing, the progressive Re-
publicans will insist that both men be
given committee places from the Re-
publican allotment. If this is refused,
as the White House has refused to
consult the two Minesotans on legis-
lative program, Shipstead and john
son will make their appeal to public
opinion on the ground that sovereign
state cannot be disfranchised in either
branch of congress, even in this in
direct fashion.

Beginning Sunday, December End,
meetings being held throughout the
United States and Canada celebrating
the fiftieth anniversary of the found
ing of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen. On Decem-
Der 1, 1873, eleven locomotive firemen
in the service Of the Erie Railroad
met in Port Jervis, New York, and un-
der the leadership of Joshua A. Leech,
started this great organization on its
career of service to humanity.
The Brotherhood now has mem
bership of $4,000, who are enrolled
under the banner of "Protection,
Charity, Sobriety, and Industry, the
motto of the organization since its
beginning. Through the Beneficiary
Department there has been paid in
death and disability claims to the
members and their dependents more
than thirty million dollars. The order
has in force $150,000,000 in insurance,
and it's total assets are 11,438,03
78. In recent years there has been
established Pension, Accident In
demnity, and Funeral Benefit depart
ments to further aid the member
ship.
To the locomotive firemen and en-
CINE hostlers this great institution
has meant reduction of working
hours, increase of wages, the dignity
ing of their toll, and improved condi-
tions of health and home. 1t has
steadfastly advocated a saving wage,
because a saving wage means a COM
Portable home, educated children, self
respect and good citizenship.
Through it's National Legislative
Department, in conjunction with other
organizations of labor, the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, has advocated legislation of

his non-enforcement of the law in the
st. Paul livestock exchange case, Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace has de-
manded of the Swift, Wilson and Gu

their books to his inspection. The law
gives him this right anyhow, but as
the packers denied it he has been
having a private argument with them
for many months. Now he publicly
serves notice that he wants to see,
by examining their records, whether
they are law breakers and parts of
meat and provision trust. In reply
Swift & Co. denies the right of fed
eral inspection in it's office because no
specific charges have been made.

Company on October 1 declared for
the non-union shop. The Crowell
Company publishes the Woman's
Home Companion, The American
Magazine, Farm & Fireside and Men
tor. 1t also is owner and publisher of
Golfers National Weekly.
Prior to instituting the lockout, the
company sought by coercion and
bribes in the nature of wages greatly
in excess of the union scale, to prevail
on members of the union to give up
their membership. The usual open
shop "yellow-dog" contract was pre-
sented to the men, and with two ex-
ceptions all refused to sign such an
agreement.
Several months ago, following the
usual custom, Springfield Typograph-
ical Union presented its wage scale to
the employing printers of Springfield.
The Crowell Company Immediately
rejected the wage proposal, and at no
time sought to bring about an adjust
ment by the usual methods hereto
fore employed-negotiation, concilia-
ton Or arbitration. Shortly thereaf-
ter the union learned that the man
agement was recruiting non-union
printers to take the places of mem
bers of Sprigfield Typographical
Uion
The locked-out members of the
union have organized committee and
are notifying members of organized
labor and friends that the Crowell
Publishing Company has dealt with
them unfairly by filling their places
with strike-breakers, bringing the
latter surreptiously to Springfield
and having them in the composing
room on the morning of October 1st
