vested in the British House Of Com
mons, giving to that body the, power
to re-enact legislation vetoed by the
House Of Lords.
The American Federation Of Labor
and a large number OF national or
CARNATIONS are taking the pre1imi-
nary steps to launch a movement for
the purpose Of bringing about such
constitutional revision and which
may result in a general revision of
the Constitution to provide for many
other necessary changes. chief of
which viii be to notify. in "a large
measure, the arbitrary power re-
posed in the Supreme Court which
enables it to annul the legislative
wishes and needs of the peOpiea
Organize for Protection Z. : :
Another benefit accruing, from the
reprehensible decision Of the court is
the emphasis given to the necessity
Of all women in industry organizing
in the trades union movement for
their own protection and benefit.
The Waitresses' Union, the Garment
Workers Union, the Laundry Work
ers' Union and other unions that en-
brace workers in industry, maintain
a wage scale and working conditions
far superior to those provided by leg
islation for the unorganized women In
industry. The wage scales and con-
ditions are protected by trade agree
ments, and the women embraced
therein will not be affected IN any
way by the decision of the court.
But the thousands Of women en-
ployed In industries where no organ
ization has been established will inn
mediately become the victims of IN
scrupulous wage cutting and exploit
tation. They will be helpless and de-
fenseless and totally unable to pro-
tect themselves. The false security
provided by the minimum wage law
has been rnthlessly torn away by the
courts decision. Their minds will
naturally turn to their more fortunate
sisters embraces IN the Mattresses,
Garment Workers and Laundry
Workers Unions, who will still be re-
tanning decent wage scales and work
ing conditions. and but one solution
win confront them-ORGANIz Or
ganize for better wages. Organize
for better conditions. Organize for
independence. There is now no 9TH
er way out.
In this respect the courts decision
may prove a boon to many thousands
Of otherwise beguiled women wage
workers IN Washington and the other
states Of the Union-beguiled by pro-
tectlve legislation that didn't protect.
Trades union organization has been
the solution for them from the be-
ginning. and with the false ven now
torn from their eyes the road Is
quite clear to permanent protection
and that spirit OF independence that
only membership in an effective
trades union can bring to them.

PRIVATE CAR" DEAL
SECRET GOVERNMENT

New York, April 12.-@Private car
government" was the term United
States Senator Copeland used IN de-
scribing secret deals between big
business and government officials in
a speech before a group Of shipping
men In this city.
Last year the private car Of Harry
Sinclair pulled into Three Rivers, N.
NJ, the home OF the secretary Of the
interior, and out OF the conversations
IN that car there developed the secret
deal whereby the great Teapot Dome
oil field, which had been set aside as
q reserve for our navy and merchant
marine, was leased to the Sinclair Oil
company" said Senator Copeland.
ITO guarantee the people against
the imposition Of such acts Of secret
government there is needed the light
Of publicity on all affairs that concern
the public"

LARGER TYPE FOR
EYE STRAIN ILLS
BY E. E. Roach.


The National Committee for the
Prevention OF Blindness is prevailing
upon the various associations of book
and periodical publishers, advertise
ers, printers, school boards, Libraries
and other large users or producers OF
printed matter to use larger type, as
the small size now used on the ma
jority of present-day publications is a
contributofy cause Of impaired vision
and eye fatigue. The statement calls
attention to the fact that "the use OF
small type not only has 3 harmful
effect on the eyesight, but often de-
feats its own purpose BY repelling
the potential reader who realizes that
the reading of such type hurts or
tires his eyes,"
The amount Of money lost by ad-
vertisers and publishers through the
waste circulation that results from
the use Of small type faces that are
difficult to read because Of smallness
Of design, says the committee, is
probably greater than the cost OF the
extra space and paper stock neces-
sary il larger type is used.
In the case Of school books and
other publications read BY children 10
the use of small type particularly
harmful. and recommends a graded
size Of type for children Of different
ages. Geography and history maps
are the most harmful to the eyes Of
the pupils in the schools, and the
committee Is putting forth its eff
forts to first remedy this defect.

THE PICTURESQUE PAST.

When the first pony express rider
went out from st. Joe, Mo-, then a
frontier town, 63 years ago, there
was as much of the thrill of daring
adventure about his exploit as about
that of the first coast-to-coast fliers
of today. To the east Of st. Joe
lay the United States and civiliza-
ton and security. Beyond it lay
the wild West, and Indians. and
highwaymen. and uncharted deserts
and mountain passes. For sheer ro-
nance. the pony rider probably had
something of an advantage over the
transcontinental flier of today, DART
ing from ocean to ocean with some
thing of the speed of a rifle bullet.
For although both We're nioneers, the
pony express rider faced hazards of a
picturesaueness TO appeal TO the
Imagination. The hazards Of the
filler. although probably even more
complicated, do not lend themselves
more easily to fancy than the prin-
ciples of science.
AS the first of the new pony riders
sped through Kansas last week his
life was actually safer than while
he was in the streets of st. Joe.
oHIy u. 'Ht lulpulst VI tHe Spoiis-
man could he have derived thrill
from his westward dash. And to that
degree he was the living symbol of
the rapidity with which the mechani-
cal structure of civilization on earth
changes. In 1856. years ago from
now, our erandsons may be expected
to revive the coast to coast flight in
a single passenger airplane. by way
of contrasting with the most spec
tacular achievements Of this day the
quaint exploits of 1923. How there
can seem TO be anything quaint or
picturesque about it is not apparent
just now. But perhaps when the
transcontinental aerial express trains
grows TO be commonplace. we shall
have better perspective of the
meagerness of the first coast-to-coast
flight. as an exploit considered from
