COUNTERFEIT
"UNIONS"

Topeka, Kan-The unions" fos-
tered by the Santa Fe railroad are not
trade unions, but company-controlled
counterfeits, declare striking shop
men of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad These workers are ex-
planning to the public the causes for
the shop mems strike.
In describing the company union,
the shop men say:
In order to deceive the public into
believing that they are willing to con-
tinue the policy of collective bargain
ing with their shop employees, the
railroads have caused to be formed,
under the guidance of railway Off
cials, so-called associations or unions
upon each particular railroad, adopt
ing the 'check-off' system for payment
of dues-something to which they
would never agree with the bona fde
organizations. Upon most of the
roads, the employe, upon entering the
service, is required to first cancel any
affiliation he may have with bona
fide labor organization, and is COM
PEELED to join the company union"

HOW WORLD WAS PEoPLED
Comprehensive 3xpresslen Concerning
Ore 81 the 0reatsst Problems
o. AHthropoiosy.

DIR. Alea Hrdlicka, the distinguished
American ethnologist, contributes to
the proceedings OF the American Philo-
sophical society an important paper
on the peopling Of Asia, which "consti-
tutes one OF the greatest problems OF
anthropology." He concludes that the
cradle Of humanity was essentially
southwestern Europe, with, later, the
Mediterranean basin, western Asia and
Africa. 1t is primarily from Europe
and secondarily from these regions
that the earth was peopled. and this
peopltng was comparatively recent.
Early man was unable TO people the
globe, owing to his insufficient effec-
tiveness, and until the end OF glacial
times and his old stone culture he had
evidently all he could do to preserve
mere existence. Only an advance In
culture could enable him to control his
environment and secure q steady sur
plus OF births over deaths The cause
Of mans peopling of the world was not
a mere wish to do so, but the necessity
arising from growing numbers and cor
respondingly decreasing supply OF food
1t was this which eventually led 20 ag-

THE REAL CAUSE
Coal Lands Monopolized Is
High Price Factor

Washington.-A committee of the
United Mine Workers of America re-
minds the United States coal commits
sion that monopolized anthracite coal
lands are carried as an investment bv
coal owners, and this is a factor in
high prices. The workers saw that
much of this land will not be used for
SO and 100 years.
Holding reserve coal lands over
such long period of time is not q
mining proposition, but real estate
business" the miners statement de-
clares
Recent increases in the price of
coal give unexpectedly greater value
to the investment in unmined coal. and
the coal owners are inclined to con-
slider their investment worth more
and more, and to revaIue it on their
books. This is in line with the pres
ent tendency of large financial inter
ests to obtain an increased capitali-
zation."
The miners say increased capitaliza-
ton, like the epidemic of stock divi-
dends, makes it possible to spread
large profits over such large capital
lzation that the rate of returns on the
investment is apparently low. This
also permits coal owners to escape
the higher grades of the federal in
come tax
Interest on the investment in these
monopolized coal lands that will not
be used for century, it is stated. is
not an element of cost of such lands
''as this item would have to be real
lied in the sale of such lands (if they
were sold), or through the operation
of them when they were finally open
ed and developed"
1t is declared that as long as coal
owners are permitted to revalue their
properties by including these hold
ings the anthracite industry, the
workers in it and the consumers will
suffer
"The Importance of this procedure
upon prices in the future can be seen
from the estimates made by the Off
cials of a similar wasting industry
(the national lumber association who
estimated that revaluation had in
creased their assets between $2,000,-
100000 and $4,000, 100000"

TRADE UNIONS
UPHELD
By New York Senator, Who
Blames Railroads For
Coal Shortage

Washington,-In a speech before
the women's trade union league of
this city, United States Senator
Copeland, of New York, indicated that
so-called senatorial courtesy" will
not deter him from plain speech in the
senate.
In his first speech in the nations
capital the new lawmaker declared
unqualifedly for trade unionism and
said the lockout policy of railroads is
responsible for the coal shortage
The former health commissioner of
New York city spoke both as a medi-
cal man and as lawmaker He said
he favored trade unionism because
this method makes it possible for
workers to improve their conditions,
thereby lessening disease.
CAS- senator" he said, II am not
interested in international banking |
am interested in human welfare"
There were no "ifs" or "buts" in
Senator Copeland's stand on trade
unionism. He declared without re-
serve that it was the workers only
protection and that the workers never
progressed until they awakened to
the value of collective action.
'If the railroads had reached an
agreement with their employees, and
thus ended their lockout, there would
be no coal shortage this winter. |
am friend of the railroads because
they are necessary for the peoples
welfare, but | am not the yes-yes kind
of a friend" said Senator Copeland
81 know they are responsible for
the coal shortage, because as health
commissioner | sent my most reliable
assistants into the anthracite fields
and they reported that thousands of
cars, loaded with coal, could not be
moved because of the railroads de
fective motive power"
The speaker mentioned the Penn
sylvania, Lehigh Valley, Delaware &
Hudson and Central Railroad of New
Jersey as a few of the railroads re-
sponsible for the coal shortage be-
cause they locked out their shop en-
ployes.

DISEASE AFFECTS ALL TREES
White Pine Blister Rust an Enemy to
Be combated by the Entire
Civilized World

Giant white pines IN Switzerland
that In 11S years have fought their
way to a height of 180 feet and more
are being killed by white pine blister
rust, and no effort is being made to
control the spread of the disease, ac-
cording to DR.. Perley Spaulding OF the
United States Department of Agrtcul-
ture, who recently returned from an
eight months study Of rust conditions
IN Europe. Doctor Spaulding, whe
made the trip TO determine the ex-
tent Of damage done to old trees and
to seek any new points In the life his
tory of the disease, says that the
white pine blister rust has been
known In Switzerland since 1864, bue
that ii has been only within the laHs
len years that 1t has spread to such
state OF destructiveness The uF-
gent necessity Of cooperating In the
attempt TO control the spread OF the
disease in the United StatsR, he says,
will be better realized and facilitated
by lumbermen throughout this coun-
try when It can be pointed out to them
that the disease affects old trees as
easily as young seedlings.

OPPOSE INCOME PUB
LICITY

Madison, Wis.-Business in this
state is worried over the proposal to
remove secrecy from income tax pay
ments. Opponents of the plan pro-
test that the state should not inter
fere with a mans profits or his earn
ings. Defenders of the plan show
that an audit of the income tax re-
turns in the last two years is yield
ing nearly $3,000,000 additional in !.
come tax, and corporations are being
forced to pay additional taxes because
of an audit.
Trade unionists suggest that if their
private affairs can be gone into by
state officials, who inquire how much
it costs them to live, there is no rea-
son why the public should not be in
formed on the income of business
men.

One OF Italian Premier Mussolini's 9
first actions on coming to power has
been the adoption for state prisons OF
the honor system" in vogue In Ore
gon and other western American states
and which was once tried out at Sing
Sing.
Mussolini Ia greatly impressed by
the success of the system as practiced
In America and has ordered that,
among other things, solitary confns-
ment be abolished In Italian peniten-
tiaries, and all prisoners be given a
chance to work on farms or in fac
tories at stated wages.
These wages will be divided into
three parts. one OF which goes to the
state, to form fund for the better
ment of prison conditions, a second
part to the party which suffered under
the crime for which the prisoner was
convicted, and the third part held In
trust by the authorities until the day
of the prisoners discharge.
Italy 10 the first European country
to adopt the honor system.

Useful Radio Improvement.

A French transatlantic steamship
company was the first to experiment
with the radiogonometer, invented by
Bellini and Tosi. BY means of this
apparatus the direction of an invisible
vessel, sailing along a coast and emit
ting wireless signals, can be deter
mined from two stations on the shore,
and It's course can be accurately
mapped. Conversely, a vessel fur
nished with radiogonometer can de-
termine Its place near coast by OBJ
serving the directions OF the waves
coming from two wireless stations on
the shore, and can thus make Its way
in fog, when the coast lights are In
visible.-W Washington Star.
