SUCCESS OF AMALGAMATION> DOUBTFUL, SAYS SECRETARY
 OF BRITISH TRADE UNIONS

"Unhappily, there is little that is encouraging to report concerning the
 state of trade Or the position of the
 unemployed. The numbers of these appear to be drifting towards the pre- vious bad high water mark It is deeply to be regretted that the fed eration's efforts, inaugurated in 1911 to secure the scientific consideration of this problem, were so foolishly ob- structed. Had the experiences of 1909 and previous periods been brought together and reviewed as they ought to have been, the possi- bility of extraordinary collapse might have been visualized and proper meth ods of dealing with any collapse could have been thought out. It is, of course, no use crying over split milk, but one knows that in the throes
 of disaster, as in the midst of a fight, people take the readiest course, and this is not necessarily the Wisest."

R. R. ENGINE MEN NOW PAY WIDOWS
 A PENSION FUND
On December I, Women to Number of 26I Begin to Draw
 Fund Monthly.

1 Cleveland, Dec 8-The board of governors of the Pension Association of the Brotherhood of Locomtive Engineers put the widows pension into effect December I. On that date, 28I widows were placed on the pen sion list and commenced to draw a fixed amount each month. In addi- ton there will be paid to them an aggr egate sum of $8o,65o in back pay for pensions from the date of their husbands death
 Warren s. Stone, president of the brotherhood, referring to the widows pension, said:
 Perhaps one of the most historical events that ever happened in the an nals of organized labor occurred when the board of governors of the Pension Association decided upon putting into effect the widows pen sion.
 We believe we are the first of the railroad labor organizations, if not of any of the labor organizations, to pension the widows of the pensin members for life, and we think it marks distinct step forward in the histor yof organized labor, and one that will perhaps have more far reaching effect than any other single action of the many activities of the brotherhood.
 Eventually we hope that some plan will be worked out whereby not only the widows of the pension members, but also the widows of all members of the brotherhood will be pensioned from the date of their husbands death"

revenue being 200 per cent, as com pared with 22o per cent. 1n gross: Industry Hardest Hit.
 "Tt is, therefore" says the board,
 an unquestioned fact that the bur den of taxation on private industry, using this term in it's widest sense, measured in terms of dollars, is three times as high as before the war. Measured in terms of comparative purchasing power (which serves to express the degree of sacrihce) or as related to the national income, this burden from either standpoint is twice asehigh as it was in 1913"
 In the increase i'll taxes the farmer has suffered less than the rest of the community though, as stated above, he still pays larger proportion of total income for taxes than do those engaged in other forms of industry. In 1913 his total tax bill was $624 100000, or Io6 per cent. of his total income. In 1922 this had increased to ST ,436, ,ooo, ,ooo, or I6.6 per cent. of in come. Meanwhile, however, the taxes creased from $I,5zo, 100000, .or 4.I2 per cert .ct total income :r .oIs to $5,625 5,ooo,ooo, or II.o7 per cent.
 The explanation of the larger pro- portional payment out of income by the farmer is explained on the ground that his property IS largely real es- tate and, therefore, easily taxed, whereas the wealth of the rest of the community is largely in intangibles and not so easily reached.

SIXTY PER CENT. OF
RUSSIANS ILLITERATE

The last All-Russian National Cen
sus carried out by the Central Sta
tistical Bureau of the Soviet Govern
ment in August, 1920, showed the per
capita percentage of literacy for the
entire population at 32 per cent.
In other words, $50 people in Rus
STA out of 1000 can neither read nor
write. If children under s are ex-
cluded, the percentage of illiteracy
still amounts to 60 per cent. AS is
the case in all backward countries
the female population lags far be-
hind the male: 529 men and 500 wo-
men out of every thousand people
can read. BY locality, it is found
that illiteracy increases certrifugally
from Moscow toward the outlying
parts of Russia, but more steeply in
the eastern direction, toward Siberia,
the Caucasus and the Transcaspian
republics. Thus, in the Samarkand
province of Turkestan the totally IL
literate population constitutes 945
per cent of the total.
In Russia proper there were regis
tered 27,500,O00 totally illiterate per-
sons above the age of s; in the Tx
raine, 12,000,000; in the autonomous
Federated Republics, 100000, and so
forth-a grand total of $4,000, 900
souls above school age.-From an ar

THE ~FLExIBLEv TARIFF

The tariff commission has been
operating on the assumption,
shared by the public, that it can
inaugurate examinations of Ford
ney tariff schedules in accord
ance with the terms of that
strange entity optimistically
known as the "flexibility" fea-
ture. The President, however,
has let it be known that the Com
mission can do as much prelim-
mary investigating as its funds
and its talents permit but that
formal" Investigations are held
only at the behest of the Chief
Executive.
While the letter of Section 315
Of the Fordney bill indicates that
this view may possibly be justi-
fed, it certainly is not the view
that led an unsophisticated pub
lie to see a redeeming grace in
the bill. The proposition was
put over on the assumption that
when anyone felt sufficiently out
ragged by a discriminatory tariff
he was provided some recourse
4. in the Commission. Section 316
of the bill provides for investi-
cation of complaint under oath,
or upon the commissions own
initiative, of methods of import
ing or selling foreign goods that
destroy, injure, restrain or mon
opolize American industry. 1t
was generally supposed that the
consumer had some similar priv
ilege of getting action on this
complaint.
The Presidents opinion to the
contrary practically removes the
last remnant of the commission's
effectiveness as far as it concerns
the flexibility clause. The Com
mission is not empowered to col
lect facts on its own hook and
impose any moral obligation on
the executive to change sched-
ules. The President is not only
jury on the fact but decides whe-
Their the case is to be instituted
in the beginning.
To date one such investigation
has been ordered; the sugar
probe. This schedule apparently
is the sum of possible error in
the Fordney bill, according to a
high protectionist president,
which, of course, is not so. The
inhexible "flexibility" feature of
the Fordney masterpiece appears
to have added nothing to the
powers of the Tariff Commission
save the privilege of holding ex-
hibitions in shadow boxing.

by British airmen across Mesop-
otamia and up the Mediterranean
TO Paris and London. 1t looks
simple on paper.
Authorization of Congress has
yet to be obtained, and by that is
meant an appropriation of $780,
600 or SO. Oil, gas and repair
stations will have to be establish
ed along the unsettled portions
of the route. There is more than
the sentimental achievement of
having the Stars and Stripes fly
on the first airplane to encircle
the earth. Certainly the plan
makes a powerful appeal to the
imagination. The nation which
is now trying to make up for
lost time and take the lead in avi-
alton might appropriately be the
first to send an airplane around
the world.

FLYING ROUND THE WORLD

While the airplane with its
record of a rate of $50 miles an
hour is the modern symbol of
speed, our army aviators who are
proposing a flight around the
world will not try to make it in
the shortest possible time. In
the present stage of aerial navi-
CATION no airplane could begin to
compete with more old-fashioned
methods of transportation be-
cause of the necessity of frequent
stops for supplies and repairs.
More than one traveller, by
utilizing trains and steamers,
has girdled the globe inl ess than
forty days. 1t is thought that
the first airplane to go around
the world will require at least six
months. The actual flying time
OF the recent round trip from
San Antonio, Texas, to Porto
Rico was 81 hours, but the avia-
tors occupied month. The dis
lance was 5000 miles. Among
the longest flights yet made have
been those across the Atlantic
and from England to India and
Australia; also the recent record
trip from California to New
York. In going around the world
the Boring Sea and Chinese coast
route would be followed to India.
