New York, June 2.-Never before
in the history of big business has
the millionaire resident of big cor
poratiOn gone without food to prove
that captains of industry not only
eat too much, but can actually in
crease their efficiency by fasting for
n month at time.
The idea Of fasting in itself is not
sufficiently novel to attract public at
tention. 1t has always heretofore
been attempted by those who had the
time and inclination. Never before
has busy executive, whose every
moment is crowded with the multi
farious details of directing hundreds
of employees and editing and publish
ing six periodicals of national circu-
lation, attempted to go without any
food just to prove that abstinence
from good clears ~ brain and in
creases capacity for work
That the old theory that one cannot
fast without stopping work and all
forms Of strenuous exercise is unten-
able.

day that he had been training for
this test for nearly year. Said
training consisted in going on a milk
diet and frequently abjuring all solid
food for weeks at time and then
cutting out even milk for several
days.

resentative, said yesterdays:

Philadelphia, June 2.-The fastest
ship afoat isn't the speedy Maure
tania, nor one of those trim little
navy destroyers. It's the RichDond,
7,COO-ton steel fighting machine
that is as big as many transatlantic
ca liners.
The United States Navy has just
put this new light cruiser through
her PAGES off the Maine coast. The
Richmond shattered all existing navy
records for ships above the destroy
err class. The high speed was 34.l8
knots-nearly 40 miles-an hour.
The Richmond, first of 10 light
cruisers now building, came from the
Cramp shipbuilding yards in Phila-
delphia. The Omaha is being put in
commission on the Pacific coast and

New York to Porto Rico in AZ hours,
and could cross the Atlantic within
four days, even by sacrificing some
speed to make her fuel supply last.
The record crossing was made by the
Mauretania in 1910 in four days, 10
hours and al minutes. The Maure-
tania averages from % to ~ knots
an hour.
The new ships, popularity known
as scout cruisers, were originally
authorized in 1916. They were held
up during the war because of the
need of concentrating all the coun-
try's shipbuilding energies on de-
stroyers and freighters, and were
then re,designed to take advantage
of the lessons learned from actual
battle experience in the North Sea.

"Mr Maefadden is fifty-four years
old and is considered even today,
wonderful physical specimen. He is
an athletic and for over quarter of
century has enjoyed t..e best of
health. Some time ago he offered to
allow doctors to introduce into his sys-
TEN the bacilli of any virulent dis
ease they should select. He did not
bar diptheria, typhus, or even yell
low fever. He offered to make
substantial monetary contribution to
any charity which they might name
if the germs took effect. Mr.. Macfad-
denis belief was that well body
would reject any disease germs and
that as he was physically sound he
had nothing to fear.
"His offer was not taken up by the
medical profession, although no ques-
ton was raised as to Mr.. Macfadden's
sincerity.
Mr. Macfadden's idea is to dem
onstrate that Captains of Industry eat
too much. That big business would
be more ably conducted If the men at
the head abstained from food for a
month every year. He is not out to
break any fasting record. He be-
lieves that total abstinence from food
occasionally is good for the man in
the street as well as the rich man,
but he especially wishes to demon
strate in this test that the popular
belief, namely that one cannot work
and fast simultaneously is fallacy.
Mr.. Macfadden's fast is attracting
national attention for this reason.
The New York newspapers have pub
lished long accounts of the expert
ment. Mr.. Macfadden recently re-
ceived oyer four hundred kilograms
of congratulations on his wonderful
success as publisher and already
wires are coming in wishing him sue
cess in his present experiment"

These graceful speed ships look
scarcely larger than. destroyers, but
they are $50 feet long, almost as long
as such transatlantic liners as the
new Resolute and Reliance. They
carry batteries of twelve 6-inch guns
and 10 torpedo tubes, as well as pow
erful radio equipment and two sea-
planes for scouting service. Their
mastheads are the highest in the
world, being 200 feet from maintruck

Some small destroyers have been
known to touch 35 knots an hour,

marks new speed era for big ships.

Development In

A comparison Of tire service stand

been more revolutionary from an en-
cheering standpoint and more bene-

PLAN" E
 IS ANCIENT TRICK

New York, March 23.-The Ameri- can Management Association has been formed in this city to put the human touch in factory work" The scheme has been launched times with out number, but this is a sure go, it's promoters say.
 Speakers declared it is time to un- dertake Consideration of the human factor in commerce and industry" No one suggested that the element most vitallv interested be consulted. One speaker made this statement that has a world of meaning:
 ."Thc leaders of American industry must carry to the rank and file of the workers a clear and simple ex- planation of the problems of business as they relate to financing, production and marketing"
 This would indicate that the so- called "humanizing' movement is to be an effort to acquaint workers with the bosses troubles-both real and imaginary. The organizers of the new association are mostly directors of company "unions" for corporations like the Pennsylvania railroad, Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey, In- ternational Harvester Company, Car negie Steel Company and the United States Rubber Company.

The following letter speaks for it. self, tells its own story and requires no comment for a clear and definite understanding: On Sunday, March II, 1923, in the City of New Haven, Conn, joint, meeting was held of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers, Division No. v, and the Brotherhood of Loco motive Bremen and Enginemen, Lodge No. 284, the membership of these two organizations being em- ployes of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and at this joint meeting a committee was ap- pointed to give publicity to the pres ent conditions prevailing on the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R., as they affect the working conditions of the mem bers of these organizations.
 The increasingly. dangerous condi ton of their employment and the in ability to operate the trains and loco motives with safety and promptness has forced the issue upon them.
 This committee IS permanent in character and will carefully observe and report and give publicity to the prevailing conditions as they effect their membership, with the object of correcting the evils.

The New York Central railroad was ordered to operate it's shops on an hourly basis in the future instead of using the piece-work system which has been in vogue for some time in the shops of that railroad. Not only that but the road was also ordered to compensate the employees who have been working on piece-work at the rate of pay the average of which shall not be less than the hourly rates of pay established by decisions of the board.
 This decision was handed down to- day by the United States Railroad La bor Board in settlement of the case brought before 1t by the American Federation of Labor Railway Elm ployes Department who represented about o,ooo men employed in the shops of the New York Central rail- road

SENATE REJECTS LABOR BILL,
 OVER PROTEST BY TONE

Senator Joseph Tone, representing the Eighth Senatorial district, in the upper house, made a vigorous protest against the unfavorable report of the judiciary committee in reference to the 48-hour bill, which was sponsored by as the 5o-hour bill and the 44-hour bill, introduced by MT. Jackson of Naugatuck, received very little atten- ton from the state solons and were rejected without comment or appar- ent interest by the house
 Senator Tone told the members of the legislature that the day is gone when a\man carries his job through for the entire day and is only a cog in the machine under the, present day methods employed in the factories A man has to work faster and the work Is more exhausting under present con ditions and for that reason the hours of employment should be shortened.
 Citing action of the Massachusetts legislature and of the Rhode Island house as examples he said the shorter day has proven to be very beneficial, not only to the worker but to the as we'll.
 Senator Tone was very disappoint- ed in the action taken on the bills for a shorter day and insisted on roll call. A misleading explanation given by Chairman Allen that the bill under consideration was the 48-hour bill caused Senator Tone to demand a roll call and the bill was rejected by vote of 24 to I, the lone vote

NEW AWARD MADE
 FOR R. R. CLERKS WITH VACATIONS

Copies of the new order governing the employment of clerks was re- ceived at the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks ot the New Haven road in this city yes terday It covers a period of service extending from March I, 1923, to March I, 1924, and although MT. Stearns, head of the clerks union here, could not be located it is said that he has assented to the agree nent, which is regarded as a victory for the clerks. More than 6,ooo clerks employed by the New Haven are af- fected by the order.
 The new order which is very lengthy one starts off by defining the rights of seniority of the respective classes of this class of employees cov- ering especially stations at which there are employed not exceeding three persons. Posting for bids must be kept open and division rosters are required to be kept by the roads superintendents.
 In reference to discipline the new order states that instead of being de cided by the superintendent charges must be preferred in writing before a designated officer and decision rem dered within seven days of the hear ing.
 Vacations with pay are also granted under the new regulations thus settl- ing one of the most important ques- tions that has been bone of con tention for some time In reference to this question the order states:
 Clerks who on January I of each year have been in continuous service of the carrier one year Or more, will be grante dannual vacations with pay provided the work is kept up by other clerks and there Is no expense to the carrier involved in granting the va cations.
 Heads of departments when grant ing vacations will give clerks who on January I of each year have been in the service continuously one year or more, vacations on the following basis: Over one year and less than two years, one week (six working days). Two years and Jess than three years, ten days (nine working days). Three years and over two weeks (I2 working days).
 Tt shall be understood that in ac- cordance with the above length of vacation to which the clerk is entitled i'll any calendar year shall be deter mined, subject, of course, to the con ditions specified in the first para graph, namely: Provided the work is kept up by other clerks and there is no expense to the carrier involved in granting the vacation;- by the length of their service as of January of that year."
 Covering sick leave, clerks who have been in the employ of the road for over one year and less than two years will be allowed six working days, less than three years nine work ing days.
 Regarding Saturday afternoon ser vice the order says in part:
 "Only such employees as are in the judgment of the management neces- sary to perform the business of the carrier, shall be required to work on Saturday afternoons and no deduction shall be made from pay of employees relieved |"

 After this action had been taken lt was discovered that the bill for 48 hours had been withdrawn and the 44- hour bill was the one that was up for consideration.
