new feature of great advantage is the
coupling arrangement. As cars are
pushed together the coupling links are
pushed back as the draw heads come

pushed forward and the cars are
coupled. Perhaps the greatest protec-
ton to insure long life to the car is
the arrangement which relieves the
frame of the car from the strain Of
the heavy load. This is accomplished
by two steel rods running lengthwise
the frame and connecting
with the draw heads These rods are
maintained at a tension greater than
the frame with the result that when
the train is in motion the strain of
the load comes upon the roads and not
upon the frame of the car

Improved Bral<ing Method.
THE various methods of braking
We're considered. viz: first by means
of mechanical brakes only; second. by
means of the induction motor running
as a generator at a speed slightly
above synchronous or fun speed.
third, by means of counter torque from
driving motor, ana, fourth. by means
of dynamic braking in the stator Of
the motor.
This fourth method of bralOng was
adopted by the Bunker Hin engineers
because. in the first method lowering
by mechanical brakes is always oh
jectionable on account of the wear on
the brake shoes, the necessity of pro-
viding brakes with sufficient area to
prevent over-heating and the danger
.of failure in operation.
IN the second method the motor is
connected to the power supply in the
direction tending to drive the hoist
load down the shaft until the de-
scending load overhauls the normal
speed of the motor, driving it above
synchronism when the motor ceases
TO act as motor and becomes a gem
orator, returning power through the
motor coupling to the power system.
With this system of braking the rope
and speed can not be reduced below
synchronous speed, as is required for
handling men, without applying me
chanical brakes all the time for the

immigration Veers
Better Class Coming

Washington-For the first time in
80 years the immigration tide to this
country has veered the past IL months
from southern and eastern Europe to
northern Europe; according to figures
compiled by the bureau of immigra-
tion The final percentages, it is esti-
mated, will show that 65 per cent of
European immigration came from the
north and east, compared with 33 per
cent the previous year.
With the exception of Germany, all
the northern and western European
nations filed, or virtually filled, their
quotas under the per cent restric-
tive law, whereas the same sections
of Europe, in 1922, sent only AT per
cent of those admissible.
AS was expected, the southern and
southeastern European nations eX-
hausted their quotas, but the fact
that the northern and western nations
filled their allotments sent the tide in
their direction. Just before the war
the northern immigrants composed
only Is to 18 per cent of the total.
Improved economic conditions in the
United States as compared with those
in Europe, is the main reason for that
new immigration, it is stated.

A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW

Of interest to any city in America
is the bulletin posted at headquarters
by the chief of police in Minneapolis;
"You are hereby urgently requested
to extend every courtesy posslble 10
visitors, for the reason that Mime
apolis has acquired a nationwide repu-
tation for politeness in greeting visit
ing automobile tourists. In fact, one
of our officers was acclaimed the
politest traffic officer in the United
States.
"Do everything possible within your
power to make every visitor with
whom YOU come in contact feel per-
fectlv at home the minute he enters
the portals of our city,"
A town with such an envlable repu-
tation wants to keep it. A town With
out it should want to acquire It,
Courtesy, like mercy, is one of the
things that blesses him that gives
and him that takes. 1t is worth while
for itself, and it brings rich dividends
in material profit, as modern business
men are learning. 1t pays a city no
less than a business institution.
Courtesy can be dispensed with
special effectiveness by the police, IN
the case of visitors-a fact sometimes
overlooked by harassed traffic OF
ficers. 1t can be dispensed more Ell
fectively if citizens in general form
a habit of courtesy to each other and
to strangers, so that it becomes sec
ond nature. Could any finer blessing
be sought by a community?

Would End Leasing

Observation-Disclosures labor of
North Carolina needs the support of
the trade union movement and SYM

vict-leasing SYSTEM" declares James
F. Barrett, editor of the Charlotte
Herald, writing to A. F. of L. head
quarters.
"For a long time we have been
waging a campaign for the repeal of
this leasing law. The state is paid
So a day for each convict leased to
private concerns, and convicts are en-
ployed in the great water develop
ment in this state. Much of the con-
struction work on the dams being
built for the electric current is done
by convicts.
"Pitiful tales are told of the treat
ment of these prisoners, but no men
tion is made of these narrowing eX-
periences by newspapers and maga-
zines whose editors are enthusiastic
over the water development.
"Just a few weeks ago one of the
young convicts was drowned in the
Catawba river. His body has not
been recovered nor has the state or
the contractors made any effort to
recover it. He was put to work on
a Golfer dam, while the river was
swollen to such an extent that free
labor would not perform that work.
Labor everywhere can aid the
right thinking citizens Of North Caro-
lima to end this innhuman practice" "

JUST WHAT IS TREASON?

You may rob the government and
get off, but if you think enough Of
America to criticise the government
too severity you may go to jail. We
are very strongly y set, as a people,
against that deluded class whose
pricipal crimes consist in verbal "hot
air." against the young workingman
who is temporarily a victim of alien
socialistic mania, against the young
collegian who is sowing his intellec-
tual wild oats and having the time Of
his life fancying himself a rebel.
But when big business men in time
of war send socks to the soldiers that
will not stand an hours route march,
send saddles to the army that will
not stay on a horse and harness that
will not pull small load of amrnuni-
ton or food to beleaguered troops in
the front line-When this actual, prac-
tical and decidedly harmful treason is
practiced, the guilty ones stand a
very good chance of getting off.
Those whose crime is only an un-
steady tongue and a misinformed
mind, must be punished to the limit.
Two profteers of the kind just des-
cribed were convicted in Illinois by
government attorneys after a long
and bitter fight. The courts fined the
convicted men and sentenced tnem to
prison. Then the wires to Washing
ton began to work. Illinois senators
and others besieged the president for
remission of the sentence. President
Harding had the strength to refuse
to grant a pardon, but he did COM
mute the sentences. And that is the
kind of act which plain people cannot
understand. There were boys shot at
the front for doing things not one
millionth part as immoral or danger
Gus as those that the Illinois profit
eers did. But their sentences were
not committed; they did not have any
money.-Dearborn Independent.

WHAT is A GOOD LISTENER? a?

Some folks, apologizing for, the
fact that they have little to say, clam
to be "good listeners" No doubt there
are such folks as good listeners.
But in order to claim being a GOOD
something or other you have got to
be GOOD. Therefore, you cannot
claim to be a good listener" unless
you only listen to GOOD things.
Anyone who listens to scandal, gos-
sip or any other species of fabrlca-
ton is not a good listener"
Get the point?
Whenever anyone beckons you of
into a corner, pulls the edge of his
mouth ear-wards, glances from the
side of his eye-then, beware of youl
"lstener" You are very apt to re-
ceive a lot of verbal poison which II
imbibed will innoculate you with a
germ liable to spread into anything
from a Big Scandal to a General
Gossip.
Gossip and Scandal would be killed,
exterminated, knocked out, eliml-
mated, if it were not passed on.
There is only one way to handle this
matter if you wish to carry the title
"good listener" Refuse pornted!!y,
sternly, frankly, to listen to gossip.
When the next scandalist comes
around with, "Now, | don't like to
mention this, but Mr.. Smith and Mrs.
Jones have been seen together three
times in the same place and =,
why, take out your old hatchet and
cut off Old Man Gossip's head. Be

THE PEOPLES LAWFUL RIGHTS

First Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States:
Congress shall make no law re-
specting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting Of free exercise there,
of; or abridging the freedom OF
speech, or of the press or the right
of the people peacefully to assemble,
and to petition the government for a
redress of grievances"
Where do the courts get the power
to issue injunctions that prohibit the
freedom of speech and press and take
away from the people the right to
peacefully assemble?
Is there any law on the statute
books, passed by Congress, that gives
the courts this right?
If Congress ever did pass such a
law it must be unconstitutional, and
if no such law has been passed, the
courts have just taken the power
without the consent of the people.
Or perhaps this power just evolved
out of nothing

The so-called Radical starts an idea,
and after this idea has survived IN
the struggle for existence and proved
its value as an element of culture and
civilization, the conservative exploits
it as if it were a child of his own
minds What we boastfully call our
glorious civilization is in the main
the realization of the daring thoughts
and ideas of the hunted radicals of
former days. The radicals of today
are sowing the seed for future har-
vests.
