LOCOMOTIVE UNION TO
 PAY WIDOWS PENSION
2St to be Placed on List to Draw Money at End of Each
 Month

Cleveland, Dec. 6.--The board of governors of the pension association of the brotherhood of locomotive en- gineers has arranged to put the widows pension into effect December 1. On that date, 2S1 widows will be placed on the pension list and com mence to draw a fixed amount each month. In addition there will be paid to them an aggregate sum of sS0,65O in back pay for pensions from the date of their husbands death.
 Warren S. Stone, president of the brotherhood. referring to the widows pension, said:
 Perhaps one of the most historical events that ever happened in the an- nals of organized labor occurred when the board of governors of the pension association decided upon putting into effect the widows pension.
 We believe we are the first of the railroad labor organizations, if not of any of the labor organizations, to pen sion the widows of the mem- bers for life, and we think it marks a distinct step forward in the history of organized labor, and one that will per- haps have a more far-reaching effect than any other single action of the many activities of the brotherhood.
 Eventually We hope that some plan will be worked out whereby not only the widows of the pension members, but also the widows of all members of the brotherhood will be pensioned from the date Of their husbands death."

SOCIETY |S BOUND BY MEN, NUT LAWS,
 DR. HOLLIS SAYS
Materia|ism Alone Not Pro- gress, Birmingham Engin-
 eerS Are Told

"Maternalism alone is not prog ress,' Dr. Ira N. Hollis, president of Worcester Polytechnic institute, Wor- cester Mass, declared in an address before the Birmingham chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at the Southern club Tues day night. "The real truth is stated in connection with religion, the prog ress of a nation and its high qualities are measured by the heart. Men, not laws. hold society together"
 The subject of Dr. Hollis address was Progress" He explained the various conceptions of progress held by different civilizations and ages
 "The human reason may have reached the maximum of it's possi- bilities and true progress in the state may ultimately lie in the spread not only of intelligence. but of spiritual ity through devotion to religious ideals That is the direction of prog ress at the present time with our people and with all peoples if we are to avoid war in the future and main tain our republic in the highest way"
 Dr. Hollis took fling at denomi- nationalism in churches with the question, Have the churches fulfilled their true function in America ?'
 
 one another on questions of dogma they are failures" he said. "So far as they hold society together in the belief that satisfaction through serv- ice Is the true source of happiness they can be nothing but successful. :. and they can through that channel give us the maximum progress of the future"
 Progress" he said, "can be deter mined only in relation to the end in view and the rapidity with which VIC
 are approaching it. Perfection as the end will never exist. because flesh will never be perfection.
 Urges Co-Operation and Unity. There Is one end. however. which
 we can conceive. and that is CO., operation and unity through which a
 maximum of happiness and comfort may be found Perhaps perfection comes nearer to the aim of all prog
 ress than anything else. but there is no perfection. Not a material thing we know Is perfect except in the sense of being adapted to it's sur roundings. It must be that or cease
 to exist. In evolution. therefore. and better adoption to surroundings, climatic, geologic and organic. Renl Progress Made.
 Real progress by the American na- tion has been the enormous spread
 of Knowledge and through that an elevation of the average man, Dr. Hollis declared. saying, "There has been practically no progress in the 1 intellectual power of the best minds during the past 4.00O years" Dr. Hollis paid tribute to the engi- neer. calling him the pioneer and
 sustainer of civilization without which no country can have progress" Dr. Hollis was the guest at ban ouet given at the Southern club Tuesday night by Worcester alumni and the Birmingham chapter of the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers. He reached Birmingham at 430 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He is a nationally known educator and past president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
