MEMORY EXPERT
HAS MENTAL LAPSE;
FAILS UNDER TEST

When l.. b. Throop, who styled him
self as the memory expert OF the
world" addressed meeting OF the
local union Of Railway Trainmen he
made a distince hit. He proposed TO
stage nentertainment in the city
auditorium under the auspices OF that
body that would prove revelation Of
the power of the human mind to re-
tain dates, names, data as written In
his brain under severe tests. But
when a committee, given full power
TO act, became bit skeptical and ac-
cepted his proposal to read the num-
bers Of autos parked IN two squares
on Third avenue Mr.. Throop discov-
cred his memory powers were on the
wane. Out Of 60 car numbers listed
he called correctly but ten. according
TO the committee. The tentative con
tract was Immediately cancelled
Cedar Rapids (Ia.) Tribune.
Throop must be losing his memoriz.
ing powers as fast as he acquired
them-or else the Iowa brand OF
mule is different than that sold IN
hampaign. When Throop appeared In
Champaign last summer, under the
auspices Of the Trainmen's organiza.
ton, he gave an excellent e1tertain-
ment, and displayed powers in mem
orizing almost superhuman.

HUSH UP! SACRED
PROFITS CANNOT
BE REFERRED TO

New rk--The Providence OR. ID
Journal and the Providence Or. ID
Times refuse to publish answers TO
the charge that the Jenckes spinning
company Is being forced south be
cause of exacting labor conditions In
Rhode Island.
Thomas +. Mcmahon, international
president Of the United Textile Work
ers of America, asked the two news
papers to publish correction, which
he forwarded, but his request was de-
clined.
In his communication President Nc.
Mahon said "the trouble with some OF
our prominent bourbon employers Is
that the terrific profits made during
the war have obsessed them"
"Fair and Legitimate profits are not
the rule of the day." said President
Mcmahon. During the five years
ending with June 30, 1921, the Jenckes
spinning company made a total proflt
Of $10,400, 900. During the first
three Of these five years, this com.
pany did not own the Loray mills OF
Gastonia, n. s., but In those five
years, its profits totalled over s5,b0o,-
900 all made In Rhode Island
"Does this prove that the Jenckes
spinning company Is leaving Rhode
Island on account Of lack Of profit, or
does ii not rather show that II Is their
desire to 20 south, where there y
more opportunity to operate their
mills under sweat-house conditions Z"

CAN'T SAVE RAIL
ROAD LABOR BOARD

Washington, D. C.-Declaring that
no Supreme Court decision could i'm
prove or revive the Esch-Cummins
Transportation Act, President SAM
uel Gompers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor expressed the opinion
that nevertheless the Supreme Court
had pursued the only logical course in
its decision on Tire Pennsylvania Rail-
road injunction case. Mr.. Gompers
added, however, that he had seen
only so much of the decision as has
been published and that he could ex-

at is particularly noteworthy"
said Mr.. Gompers, "that the Supreme
Court decision puts upon the Trans
portation Act exactly the interpreta-
ton that has been put upon it from
the beginning by the labor move
ment. 1t is pointed out now by the
Supreme Court that the Railroad
Labor Board is vested with no powers
of compulsion and that so far as wage
earners or railroads are concerned In
matters of wages or working condi-
tions there is no contract upon them
to do what the Board decides they
should do
an this specific case the Board is
upheld ON the grounds that the law
gives it the authority to determine
how such representatives lof the
workers) ought to be chosen Thus
it is finally established that while the
Railroad Labor Board may decide to
recognize and deal with the bona fide
trade unions in spite of the objections
of any railroad, the Board cannot en-
force decisions.
"The only element of strength in
the Railroad Labor Board is the back
ing of public opinion and if it cannot
secure this it is absolutely powerless.
"This is the view of the trade-union
movement and it leaves the Railroad
Labor Board exactly where 1t was.
So far as can see, the Railroad
Labor Board has no added strength
because of the decision but the Penn
sylvania Railroad on the contrary
stands in a much weakened position
and is accused of having adopted a
wrong course, contrary to the spirit
of the law, contrary to the inter-
ests of the workers, and intended only
to advance the narrow, selfish inter-
ests of the railroad.

Board is concerned it is as helpless
now as before. 1t is as ineffective
