Distorp of Dour Same.
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN.
HESS
HESS
RACIAL ORIGIN-German.
SOURCE-Geographlcai.

Here is a family name that is quite
widespread on this continent, and
frequently met with in England as
we'll; and, though it undoubtedly had
an English development, it deserves
rather to be ranked as German.
The name simply means ''Hessian"
or "of Hesse," and is the sort of name
which originated in it's application to
natives of that duchy, not in their
own land, but in others. Surnames,
Of course, were developed in the first
place to distinguish and dfferentiate
their bearers Certainly the applica- :
ton of the name "Hessian" to Hes
sian by Hessians would be no distinc-
ton at all.
At that period of the middle ages
when family names were forming in
England, roughly from the eleventh
to the fourteenth centuries, there: was
little communication between Eng
land and Hesse- -Darmstadt, which lies
between Prussia, Bavaria and Baden or
Hesse -Cassel in the west of Germany.
in later days absorbed by Prussia.
Hence it may be assumed that the de-
velopment of the surname was in
other parts Of Germany, for the most
part in the heighboring principallties
and at period two or three hundred
years later than that of family name
formation in England; for family
names We're generally much slower in
making their appearance in Germany
than they were in other parts of f.u-
rope.

Starvation Wages in
Southern States
(By Federated Press)

Nashville, Tenn.-An average week
ly wage of 1892 for adult male fac
tory workers is the depressing show
ing made by Tennessee in the 10th
annual report of the state bureau of
inspectionf This is only 81 per cent
above the 1913 level when adult male
workers received $12.68 week. Peak
wages came in 1918 when an average
pay envelope contained $23.15. The
decrease in 1922 from 1918 equaled
1612 per cent.
Women averaged $11.79 a week
during 1922, approximately 70 per
cent above the pre-war level. This
means less than 5000 a year, if
granted full 81 weeks employment.
Only 80 per cent of the establish
ments do not work women over 48
hours per week. The group working
women nine hours per day and not
over 81 hours week includes 35 per

Dies in indianapolis

Indianapolis, Ind.-John McPar-

Typographical union and we'll known
labor leader, died here Saturday of
heart trouble, brought on by a severe
attack of influenza.
He was born in Australia in 1868
and came to the United States in
1903. During his residence in Ill
inois he was elected the first presi-
dent of the State Typographical
Union.
Later he removed to New York

"Big Six" He was especially active
during the memorable fight for the
eight-hour day, which was finally Sc
cured at a cost of millions of dollars.
In 1908 he returned to Australia,
where he remained until 1914 when
he again came back to America, and
resumed his activity in union affairs.
In 1921 he was elected president of
the International Typographical
Union, and was filing that important
position, to which he was reelected
in 1922, at the time of his death.

court rules that the law is uncon-

fit of West Virginia citizens.
Sharp dissenting opinions were re-
corded by Justice Holmes, Mercy

clared that there is nothing in the

"to prevent a state from giving a

GETTING 'fM IN
ALIEN LABORERS WILL SOON
FLOOD THE COUNTRY
Thousands of Chinese Camping on the
Borders For Opportunity to Be
Struggled Into the u. S.
(By Federated Press)

Washington-Secretary of Labor
Davis declared "a great organized
conspiracy, directed by a master
hand or group" exists to flood the
country with cheap labor smuggled
in from Mexico, Canada, Europe and
the Orient.
Labor agents are on the Mexican
border with immigration runners
posing as ranchmen, Davis SAYS, and
he expresses the belief that Mexicans
are being smuggled in through COM
plete underground railroad system
after the method used by the northern
atolitlonists to smuggle negro slaves
into Canada.
Thirty thousand Chinese are in
Cube and 5000 in Canada waiting to
be smuggled in, Davis declares. Many
thousands of other backward nation
alities like Lascars and Malays sur
round the borders of the United
States, ready to enter as soon as
their turn comes.
The belief is growing here that the
Harding administration is closing it's
eyes to these illegal activities to per-
NIT the steel trust and the beet sugar
and other labor batting interests to
render the restrictive immigration
act useless.
1t is pointed out here that, if Davis
department lacks funds, it would be
within the powers of Daugherty's de-
partment of justice to take a hand
in the situation. Money wasted by
William j. Burns to work up red
scares and suppress free speech could
be used to break up the conspiracy
described by the secretary of labor.
Men of criminal type desperate
enough to take any chance are finding
the alien "bootlegging" business as
profitable as liquor bootlegging, ac-
cording to Davis. They are receiving
from $1OO to as high as $4,000 head
for bringing in aliens.
eve have evidence which forces US
to the conclusion that this illegal
alien traffic is directed by a master
hand or group, but we are not pre-
pared to state who the higher ups are
who are involved" says Davis.
He points out that the few cases in
which smuggled aliens have been un-
covered were found in industrial
plants, as in the case of the "a Euro
peans and Asiatics who were taken
from the Lehighton shops of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey and de-
ported.
They were employed as strikebreak-
ers and were recruited in Europe by
labor agents. There is as yet no evil
dence, according to Davis, to prove
that the railroad company procured
them.
immigration agents found these
aliens confined in stockade in which
sanitary conditions were so shocking
pig pen would be called clean in
comparison. They didn't know what
bath was. Fifteen had veneral
diseases and one was insane. They
would not hesitate to kill, Davis says.
One drew a knife when agents were
interviewing them and attempted to
kill the interpreter.

theory which they have dubbed "cost
Of reproduction"
The farmer receives no privilege
from the state which is not accorded
every other citizen. Therefore he is
not bound by any SPECIAL obliga-
tion to the state.
One trouble with the railroads is
that they want to enjoy all their
privileges but are not willing to as
sumo any of the more important of
their obligations.
In selling his products the farmer
is compelled to face the competition
of the world The amount he has in
vested in his farm does not influence
in any way the prices he receives for
the things he produces.
He may not be able to pay running
expenses, but he has no Interstate
Commerce Commission to appeal to
for an advance in rates.
The railroads are in an entirely
different position. The law directs
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission shall fix rates high enough
to take care of every expense, in
cluding interest on the VALUE of the
property dS ucIcIIulllCu ny Illc COul-

Suppose Uncle Sam said to the
farmer:

products to pay enough for them to

citation, maintenance, and interest on
your mortgage, and on top of all that

How many farmers would object to
that proposition and insist on hiring
a lot of engineers and lawyers to
work up a "cost of reproduction
theory?
But the railroads say the sugges-
ton is "bolshevism."
