(By Federated Press)

New York-The Interborough Rap
id Transit Co. of New York, of which
f. J. Berwind is the largest indivi-
dual stockholder and a member of the
board of directors, has decided to re-
new it's contract for 100000 tons of
coal in 1923 with the present produc-
ers, one of which is the Berwin-
White Co. Berwind is the president
of this concern. AS heavy stock
holder and director in the |. r. I. he
thus will continue to buy coal from
himself at a profit, as president of
the Berwind- White Co. The city is
supposed to be partner in the |. r.

been operative except as it has COM
PEELED the city to pay for the con-
struction of the l. R. T. subways.
An investigation, by commission
appointed by the city several months
ago, resulted in a report declaring
that the BerwindWhite company
should have notices at the entrance
to it's mines:

"The Berwind- White company Of

Private Harold Peat
For Universal Peace
(By Federated Press)

MilWaukee-Return to MllWau-
kee after an absence of five years,
Private Harold Peat described some
of the horrors of war, arraigned the
histories used in the school Of glorify-
ing combat, and made plea for uni
versal peace.
He is the former Canadian soldier
who, as a member of the British re-
cruiting commission, exhorted Mil
waukeeans to support the war, in a
meeting in the Pabset theater five
wears ago. He is one of the many
former soldiers who have changed
their views on war.
'T saw $4,000 men killed in less
than five minutes in one of the bat
ties of the late war;" he declared, in
an interview.
"Our textbooks create national
egotism, each people being taught
that it can lick any other nation. |
want 10000 evangelists of peace,
with a training school to educate
them. / would turn them loose all
over the world"
Peat, who enlisted in Alberta, Can
ada, in August, 1914, went to France
with the first Canadian contingent.
He participated in number of bat
ties during the first two years of the
war. the last being the battle of
Yprese, in which he was shot through
the lung and lay on the battlefield
AZ hours before being found.

ShipOWnerS Raise
Wages For Seamen
(By Federated Press)

New York-The low wages and bad
conditions on American ships which
have been driving seamen to seek
land jobs, have depleted the number
of American seamen to such an
alarming extent that ship companies
at this port have been compelled to
raise wages. Within the last few
days several companies have adj
vanced their pay for able seamen
from $50 to $35 a month-the figure
commonly paid a year ago-to SAP
and as high as $50 a month. This
applies to the intercoastal and coast
wise traffic and not to transatlantic
vessels.
These new wage scales have been
adopted coincidently with the discov-
er by by the shipping board that only
$40 of the seamen engaged in Feb
ruary were Americans, as against an
average in the early part of last year
of 94R to $3.50.
The rise in seamen's wages is due
to go somewhat higher next month,
when traffic opens on the great lakes
and the New York barge canal.
Wages are somewhat higher in these
inland waters than those paid by the
deep sea concerns.
Since the Pacific Coast Shipown-
ers' Assn. raised wages in the coast
wise trade last month from $50 to
$75 and $50 a month, the. shortage
of seamen there has become less pro-
nounced.

Farmers Union Proves
Cooperation is @. X.
(By Federated Press)

Savannah, Ga.-The Farmers un-
ion is demonstrating to the railway
men how they can cut their food bills
by cooperation. On Sunday, March
II, large crowd gathered at the K.
of P. hall to join in supporting the
two cooperative stores run by the
farmers in Savannah and Glenville,
Ca, and to promote further interest
in this effort to bring the farmers
crops to the workers table without
paying tribute to the commission
agents, wholesalers and retailers.
AS a result of the farmer-labor
cooperative stores the merchants in
Savannah and Glenville have been
compelled to reduce their prices. The
Savannah stores are modelled after
the Lowndes County Cooperative ex-
change at Valdosta, where the rail-
way men and farmers own and run
the largest cooperative store in
Georgia. During the recent shop
mems strike the farmers brought in
meat, potatoes, vegetables and other
farm supplies, not to sell to the boys
on strike, but to give to them in or
der to help them in their battle.

Senator COuzenS is
"BuII in d ChinaShOp''
(Dv Federated Press)

Detroit-Detroit workers are find
ing a great deal that is amusing in
the spectacle of James Couzens of
Detroit in the U. S. senate, where he
has been bull in china shop since
he resigned as mayor here to accept
the senate anpointment from Gov.
Alex j. Groesbeck.
He has been a bull in china shop
but no one has been able to take the
bull by the horns. Couzens' last feat
was to block single-handed the ap-
pointment of James G. McNar'- to the
post of comptroller Of the currency.
President Harding declined to change
his plan to appoint McNary even af-
ter Couzens laid before him Nc
Nary's unenviable record as banker
down in Texas The president simply
decided to make a recess appoint
ment after congress adjourned. But
Couzens carried his fight first to
members of the senate and then to
the country and blocked the matter,
McNary, who had given $4,000 to
the Harding campaign, declined the
post with thanks.
COuZens has refused to ask for a
JOO 1Oi VI IliC UOyS anu
has refused even to interfere in any
patronage case unless his advice was
requested by the president. Also he
neglected to send home his allotted
trainload of seeds to the constituents
and was rather angry to find out that
his secretary had done so without his
knowledge.
Two-thirds of the time of the aver
age senator is taken up with seeds
pensions, patronage and similar mat
ters, but two-thirds of Couzens' time
has been taken up with stamping on
the corns Of the old-timers. He has
kicked over the ikons in many in
stances. And nobody seems to be
able to do anything about it.
The answer is that though Couzens
is banker, industrial executive

OHIOANS BEARING HUGE RAISE
IN TAX BURDENS

these taxes, of course, are reflected
in utility rates.
at is time to call halt, and about
face on all these free-taXing, easy

lessly increasing old and searching
out new sources of taxation" says an
editorial in the Saturday Evening
Post.
"a progressive program of confis-
cation is operating in America under
the guise of taxation. Increasing
burdens are being added year by yeal
to real estate, to productive capital
and wages. Stacker wealth alone is
escaping, hiding in the tax-exempts

Much of this money is wisely spent

schemes, and some of it goes up in

Wants Regulations
For the Motor Bus

Des Moines, Ia.-Regulation of
the motor bus as strict as that exer-
cised over electric railways is advo-
Gated by Dwight N. Lewis, president
of the National Association of Rail-
way and Utility Commissioners.
"The motor car should not be driv-
en- out of commission" he says, "but
should be strictly held to account as
are street railways, and should bear
it's proper share of the public eX-
pense.
"No legislation should be enacted
that will prevent establishment of
needed and desirable motor bus and
truck service for the public good, but
most assuredly established invest
ment in street railways and interur-
bans should be safeguarded in the
interest of good service to the pub
lie, against the piratical and destruc-
tive competition that has been so pre-
valent everywhere.
'"The bus and truck usually insist
on paralelling, as nearly as possible,
the electric interurban railway. To
my mind, this is neither fair to the
public nor just to owners of the in
terurbans."

Railroad Unions Are
Ready to Negotiate
(Bv Federated Press)

New York-The unions are willing
to negotiate at once with the rail-
roads which have not settled the shop
strike, and which were censured IN
Pres dent Harding's recent letter to
Jersey Central shopman according to
William H. Johnston, president, In
terna ational Assn. of Machinists.
The machinists' head called atten-
ton to the fact that more than l34
railroads, comprising half the rail
mileage of the country, have signed
contracts with the unions on the basis
of the Baltimore agreement reached
last September with Daniel Willard
of the Baltimore & Ohio and others.
"That agreement" he said, sis sat
isfactory to both sides, and the roads
which signed it today are giving
much improved service, while the
'bitter-enders' are going from bad to
worse. Their refusal to negotiate is
based on nothing more respectable
than a desire to destroy the legitl-
mate trade unions in the shops. Their
TRANSPORTATION breakdown is caused
entirely by their reactionary labor
policy"
The eastern roads which have re-
fused to negotiate include the Penn
sylvania, the New York, New Haven
& Hartford, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western, the Delaware d
Hudson, the Lehigh Valley, the Cen
tral of New Jersey.
"Official figures" Johnston de-
clared, "bear out President Harding
statements about the condition OF the
'hard-boiled' roads. The Lehigh Val
lev, for instance, on July 15 last had
17% of its locomotives out of service
for heavy repairs; while on Feb. l
this percentage had risen to $3.50:
In the same period the percentage of
bad order locomotives on the Della
ware & Hudson rose from 7.4% to
1870 The Central Of New Jersey
went from 1870 to 27.4%.

Taxes paid by the taxpayers OF
Ohio for the support of their state,
city and county governments have in
creased 411.7 per cent since 1900, and
1853 per cent since 1915.
This tremendous increase in the
tax burden of Ohioans is disclosed in
figures just compiled from the rec
ords of the state tax commission,
which show that taxes assessed for
state, city and county purposes in all
the counties of Ohio for 1922 reach
ed the enormous total of 1924, 130,-
1876. In 1915, the total taxes col
lected in Ohio for the same purposes
were only $91, 1876, 6,002.16, while in
1900 the sum of the taxes paid in
Ohio was $43, ,797, ,702.51.
In these figures are included no
special assessments and no taxes
paid to the federal government.
1t is pointed out by the advocates
of stricter economy in government
that the cost of operating any bust
ness and it's revenues have both
greatly increased in the past seven
years, but they all assert that it
would very likely be impossible to
| find any form of business the cost OF
which and its revenues have increased
so tremendously as has the cost OF
operating the city, state and county
governments in Ohio.
Users of electric light and power
| telephone, gas and street car services
have very vital interest in the in
creased sums of taxes now being col
lected because the companies su""ly
ing them with these essential needs
now pay approximately ten per cent

LIKE SLAVES
WOMEN AND CHILDREN WORK
IN MICHIGAN BEET FIELDS
u. S. Labor Department Investigates
Conditions in Sugar Beet Camps
Where Family Wage" Is Rule
(By Federated Press)

Observation-Disclosures Of child
and mother labor in the sugar beet
fields of Michigan form the sum-
mary of a report to be issued by the
children's bureau, U. S. Department
of Labor, in which it is held that so
long as the theory of payment for
the beet field work is that Of fam
lily wage" it cannot be expected that
the children will be kept in school
regularly or the mothers Withdrawn
from their field work to care for the
children at home.
Contract laborers, the report says,
are usually assigned as many acres
to thin, hoe and harvest at fixed
rate per acre, as they and their fam
lilies together can take care of. Thin
ming is a process which must be done
before the beet plants grow too
large, and therefore is usually per-
formed under pressure. At this time
the family working day was found
to begin at 6 in the morning, con-
tinuing until 6, and even 8 in the
evening, with the shortest possible
intervals for meals. Over fourth
of the children investigated reported
IL to Is hours daily work in the
fields.
Family labor for the summer work
in the Michigan fields was secured by
agents of the sugar companies from
Detroit, Chicago, Ohio cities, mining
districts of West Virginia, and even
from Texas and Mexico, who held out
as an inducement the opportunity for
utilizing the work of women and chill
dren in the beet fields.
The sugar companies, according to
! the report, rented old farmhouses for
| these workers, or furnished small
portable houses which frequently
were crowded and sometimes were in
| had repair. From three to ten per-
sons were obliged to sleep in one
small, ill-ventilated room in many of
the beet-field families. Sometimes a
| shack of tar paper or tin, or cara
van wagon to be moved about as the
work required, was the only shelter
provided, this shelter being such that
the members of the family had to
take turns going in, "as there wasn't
room for all of them at once.'
Of of the 500 families studied by
the bureau in 1920 in this typical dis
trict of the middle western beet
growing section, 67@o of the children
between and 16 were found at work
in the fields. One-fourth of these
child workers were less than 10 years
of age, and only one-fifth had reach
ed the age of IA. Three-fourths of
the boys and threefifths of the girls
had helped in the beet fields that
year, as had 1000 of the mothers.
These mothers worked long hours,
and did their housework in addition.
One-fourth of the families expect
ed to receive less than 5000 for six
or seven months work, and one-fifth
would probably be paid less than
$500. Several of the migratory lab
orers said that the entire family's
work in the beet fields would yield no
more than the father alone was accus-
toned to earn for an equal period at
other work.
Three-fourths of the children of
school age in this district had been
absent from school on account of
their work, according to statements
of their parents and observations of
the investigators.
