The Villa Falconieri is one of the
oldest and most romantic OF the
lovely 18th century villas which were
laid out with so much taste and
charm by the luxury loving princes
of the Church as their summer resi-
dences near Rome. 1t was acquired
twelve Years ago by the then emperor
of Germany, who had it fitted up as
a restingplace for German artsts,
literary men and officers wishing to
winter in Rome. During the war 1t
was confscated by the Italian au-
thoritics.
Like all these country houses OF
the Renaissance, the grounds OF 'ne
Villa Falconieri are full OF statuafy
beautiful trees, and formal, eN-
u,,isite fountains and waterfalls
There is also romantic lake, sur
rounded by expresses, which is sald
to be haunted by the wrath OF
water or perhaps by that OF
a Young girl of more modern Gays
whose body, like that OF announcer
Ophelia. was found floating there
crowned and covered with flowers.

Parents Should Arrange Marriage

DR.. Adolpn LorenZ, noted blood

from a visit to his home in Vienna,
on the steamship Resolute, of the
United American Lines.
"A man before he marries should
know the character and health of
his intended wife and should have
known her well for at least several
years." DR.. Lorenz told the reporters.
Take the case of my wife, who has
been my helpmate for more than 81

If that unthinkable thing could be
done and were done what would be-
come of the tremendous productivity
of industry? The market would be
destroyed There would be idleness
not only for the two million workers
of which Mr.. Hoover speaks but for
many millions more-such idleness
and misery and disorganization as
the country has never known The
absorption of the prodigious output
of the industrial machine is made
possible only by high wages.
"a very capable committee ap-
pointed by Mr. Hoover conducted a
long investigation into the operations
of what is known as the business
cycle Upon conclusion of that in
vestigation the committee brought
forth report. Skeptics who have
much more than a shadow of right to
their skepticism will say that it is yet
far from proven that there is such a
thing as a business cycle. But
whether there is or not, better pre-
ventive of industrial depression than
any brought forth by Mr. Hoover's
excellent committee is the continued
payment of high wages, the continued
advancement and improvement of
standards of living, the continually
enlarging capacity of wage-earners to
purchase, use and consume the pro-
duets of American industry.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-06-15
Safeguarding Profits is Put Above
Human Welfare

9TH plea that shortage of labor
makes impracticable the change from
two or three shifts of workmen af-
fords but a meager defense. The
shortage of labor was not the reason
for the failure to abolish the long day
two years ago, when there was ap-
palling unemployment, which could
have been in large measure relieved
in steel manufacturing districts by
introducing the three-shift system in
the steel industry.
"The steel Institutes committee
finds that the entire cost of a change
to the eight-hour day would have to
be paid by the consumers of steel,
disregarding the possibility of some
proportionate contribution out of the
earnings of the industry Thus the
safeguarding of profits becomes a
consideration superior to that of the
wages and hours of workers.
Inhumanities Excused as Economic
Necessities
"The committee finds that there are
questions of high Importance in
volved in this whole matter, which,
they assert, have no moral or social
features. They are economic say
the steel manufacturers. They affect
the pecuniary interest of the great
public This divorce between the
moral or social elements of a prob
lem and it's economic aspects runs
counter to the teaching of religion.
1t excuses inhumanities in the name
of economic necessity. Furthermore,
it overlooks an important series of
demonstration within the steel in
dustry and elsewhere of the practica-
bility and superior advantages of the
three-shift system.
Morally Indefensible Regime Must
Be Ended
"The one redeeming feature of the
committees report is the intimation
that it is not final. The public has
waited long for the fulfillment of a
virtual promise from the industry.
The public expects the initiative to be
taken by the United States steel cor
poration. 1t is a task that presents
admitted difficulties, but none that a
powerful corporation which has ac-
cumulated an enormous surplus
should find insurmountable.
"The forces of organized religion
in America are now warranted in de-
claring that this morally indefensi-
BILE regime of the 12-hour day must
come to an end. A further report is
due from the Iron and Steel Institute

HARD COAL
Monopoly Controlled BY
Few Companies

New Worthwhile attorneys for
coal owners are using the Miners
Union as a smoke screen, former
Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jer-
sey, announces that he is organizing
a coal consumers league to curb pro-
fiteering"
'The increase in anthracite prices
since 1900 has been staggering" he
said. Control Of anthracite is in the
hands Of few companies. Eight
companies produce three-fourths of
the output and these same companies
control 80 per cent of the under
ground reserves.
With the eight companies are aff-
lated eight railroads serving the an
thracite fields. The interests control
ling the companies and railroads Sc
cure three profts-one on mining,
another on wholesaling and third
on transportation.
"The freight rates charged by the
railroads carrying coal also are ex-
orbitant and should be reduced to a
fair level The interstate commerce
commission should act on them at
once"
The former senator said he favors
regulation only as a last resort, but
unless the anthracite combination re-
duces prices the American public will
insist that congress enact legislation
compelling publicity of investments
and profits.
