Nationwide Educational
Campaign Designed to Save
Enormous Losses.

NEW YORK, September A
campaign national in scope and in
many ways unlike any previous
movement undertaken by the rail-
roads of America was begun yes
terday and will be carried on
throughout the month of September
with these objectives in view:
1. Reduction of loss of and dam
age to the publc's personal belong
tngS when transported by rail.
=. Dissemination OF information
regarding the proper packing of
household goods when prepared for
rail shipment.
3. Education of the many thou

United States; the American Rail
way Express Company, which handles d

than $50 household goods storage

storage companies.
Analysis of conditions under which
The peoples personal belongings, in
Guiding pianos and all sorts of house
hold furniture. move forward from
city to city by rail, has given clear in
that the public generally and many
railroad local freight agents in par
ticular have little conception of the
proper methods of preparing and
packing for shipment.
This lack of knowledge is costly,
both to the public and the railroads
and express companies. In 1922 more
than 100000 worth of household
goods transported by rail were lost or
damaged--that is, the railroads paid
out more than 100000 in claims for
loss and damage on this commodity.
In 1921 the claims which the carriers
paid aggregated nearly s1.5O0.00O.
The fault is said by those who have
investigated the situation to rest part

Letter Reveals Alleged Fiend-

MEXICO CITY. September 4-The
shooting and burning alive of 200
prisoners by the late bandit leader
Francisco Villa in Chihuahua after
the battle of San Andres de la Sierra
on September 6, 1913, Is related in q
letter from one of the survivors pub
liShed by Excelsior.
The 200 were about equally divided
between wounded and uninjured, ac-
cording to the story. and many of
them, still alive after falling before
the fire of the execution squads, were
thrown screaming on the great pyre
OF oil-soaked timber which had been
prepared and set ablaZe.
Among the victims were several
woman camp followers. with their
children. who had dared to scream
curses at Villa for sacrificing their
men.
The story of this survivor of Gen.
Felix TerraZa's forces is equaled
by other anecdotes of the fate meted
out to Villistas captured by the fed
erals, one of which narrates how
more than a score of bandits We're
bound and thrown into a dry well.

COMMENT AND CRITI-
CISM ABOUT THINGS
DOING IN THE WORLD

Alabama takes backward step.
The whipping lash will be restored
to the states prison system, though
it is stated that he lash will be re-
sorted to only in extreme cases.
The day of the lash, even in pris-
ons, is gone. The lash belongs with
such relics of barbarism as impris-
onment for debt, torture to wiring
confessions from accused persons and
the more modern third degree
By restoring the lash, Alabama
confesses that the men in charge of
its prisons have not the intelligence
to govern convicts without the EN-
ployment of brutal CORPORAL punish
ment.
Gov. Blaine of Wisconsin took a
sound position when he declared not
one cent of the increase in wages
granted the anthracite coal miners
should be passed on to the consumer.
The Wisconsin governor was ie-
plying to a request of Gov. Pincnot
of Pennsylvania that state executives
act to prevent coal price gouging.
Government reports have indicated
that the coal operators have made
enormous profits in the last few
years. There is no good reason why
the coal industry should not absorb
the cost of higher wages, refraining
from increasing the cost of coal to
the buyer. If prices were kept ut
present levels, the operators would
still have the expensive automobiles
and other luxuries to which they have
been accustomed.
President Coolidge, it is stated, is
now concentrating upon the problem
of determining what the policy for
the operation of the Shipping Board
fleet shall be. Let's hope he doesn't
decide upon pushing the discredited
ship subsidy plan.
Union paper makers have entered
on the third year of their strike
against the International Paper Com
pany. They are showing the spirit
that wins. Good luck to them!
