LOCKOUT PROVES COSTLY
 TO EASTERN RAILROADS

New York, April 13-The Delaware X Hudson Railroad and the New York, New Haven X Hartford Railroad make a gloomy report to their stockholders. President Loree of the former road re- ports a deficit of $476,0O0 last year, as against a net profit of $4,o37,452 the previous year. This road has been one of the leaders against railroad shop men and its union-s1 smashing venture changed net profit of nearly S5.000. = O0O in 1921 to a deficit of $476.OOO in 1922.
 Similar losses are also reported by President Pearson of the New Haven, road that has been used as a foot ball first by frenzied fnanciers and now by union smashers who report a deficit last year of $4,865,767.
 This road is another leader in the shop men's lockout, That this policy IS responsible for present conditions on the New Haven is indicated by Presi- dent Pearson's statement that the lock out has increased operating expenses. and that 'at the present time there Is an excess of substantially 80 locomotives in need of repairs beyond the average of past year
 With this record of incompetencv and union smashing, President Pearson includes in his report the usual 1amenta- ton on regulatory restraints" and the campaigns of misrepresentation and un- fair attacks being conducted against the railroads"

Baerfacts
By J. M. BAER, The Congressman-Cartoon

Clubs Are Trumps!

Clubs are trumps in Wash ington. They'll take almost any trick
 They're the big cards in the good old game of legislation. And those who hold them sell dom hesitate to play them.
 Few men are perfect There is always something in almost every mans life that he'd pre- fer to keep under cover. Con- gressmen are no exceptions.
 Therefore, the lobbyist who needs votes and who cant get them in any other way "gets something on" a few congress- men who oppose his views, if he can. Maybe the congress- man has Intentionally voted for some bill that IS much in dis favor in his district; maybe there Is something in his per sonal life that he would rather his constituents didn't know.
 That's where the clubs come in. It may be only a weak lit tie club-a two-spot-or 1t may be something quite irristible, a veritable ace, but the lobbyist
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-04-13

who wants something Is going to use 1t if he can. It may be only that his little trump will prevent the congressman from taking some other trick that he wants very much to take, but that may be sufficient for the lobbyists purpose.
 Of course, the professional lobbyist isn't crude. He doesn't play his club suit as a less pol ished person would swing a club. If he must swing the club hard, the lobbyist always makes 1t appear velvet-covered. But the old cudgel is there, just the same.
 So long as lobbyists are per mltted to exercise government by blackmail, we can't expect perfection. The congressman who is weak, the woman who wants social position that may be withheld from her, the man who wants honors for himself that he may be prevented from getting, will all too often suc- cumb.

COAL BARONS vs. CHILDREN Here's What Bureau of Education Says About Conditions in Mining Section Out of
 Which High Profits Come.

A report on schools in the bitumin- ous coal regions of the Appalachian Mountains recently made by the Blu reau of Education, was confined to the best districts in the bituminous field of western Pennsylvania. It showed that I0 per cent of the chill dren who entered school continued to the eighth grade, that the amount of retardatiOn was greatest in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades, that of I8O elementary teachers in one min ing district in western Pennsylvania, only E per cent had attended school more than four years after comple- ton of the eighth grade, and that about one-fourth of the teachers were teaching their first term and about time the position they held at the of study in that district was found to be boollish and not related to the life of the mining town; play as a part of the school work received no attention except in a few towns The Kindergarten, although especially needed, was not found anywhere in the Appalachian region outside of Jefferson County, Ala, and Ellsworth, Pa.
 For the most part the school build ings of the district were like the houses, small wooden buildings often unpaintcd, in bad repair, and sometimes inadequately heated Cave ins had occurred near several of the buildings. None of them had play grounds.
 The grade reached by the children who had left school and by those who remained in school reflects the denial of opportunity from which these groups of children suffered. In the course of the investigation, 30 children were found who could neith- CT read nor write.
 Death Rate Double Average for
 Nation.
 The infant mortality for the entire birth-registration area of the United States was o4 in 1917, for that year the rate for Shenandoah was I87- one of the highest in the country
 The town of Shenandoah is so hemmed in by mine properties on every side that expansion to meet the needs of it's growing population has been impossible. As a result, when more people came, in response to the demand for more and more mine WOrkeTS, rear houses were Du1ll unt1l the alleys were turned into narrow streets; then houses were added be- tween those in the front and the rear until by 1920 there were 24,726 per sons living on an area little more than one-half of square mile. (Note: This is three, times the den sity of Chicago.)
 In S4 instances seven people were occupying two rooms, in 50 instances 10 people were occupying three rooms, and in 40 instances 10 people were occupying two rooms.
 The general explanation given of the disrepar of the houses of this district is the pull of the mines Ln large part of the town of Shenan- doah the old workings, have been filled in with slush, but in many places no such precautions have been taken and the ground has given way and Assures and cave-ins have resulted.

ELECTRIC WORKERS LAYING PLANS FOR
 BUSINESS AGENT

At the regular meeting of the Electrical Workers Union, Local 90, held in Trades Council hall, Tuesday evening, Herb Bennett, president of the State Electrical Workers Associa- ton, spoke to the members of Local % on organization work and sug- gested several ways in which the or ganization could be built up and made more effective.
 Several other men prom inently identified with organizations affiliated with the A. F. of L. were also on hand to give the Electrical Workers the benefit of their judgment acquire'' after many years of activity in the la bor movement, among them being Patrick F. O'Meara, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor; F.. A. Fitzgerald, president of the Build ing Trades Council H. A. Gelss, busl- ness agent of the Electrical Workers of Meridcn, and M. J. Louden of the Iron Workers Union, all of whom offered various suggestions which were well received and no doubt will prove very beneficial to the organlza- ton.
 One of the important matters taken up at this meeting was that of in crcasing the dues to provide for business agent for the electrical work CTS and 1t was decided to have Spe- cial called meeting on Tuesday even ing, April Y, when this matter will be acted.upon. It was pointed out at the meeting that if the program which has been mapped out by the Electrical Workers is to be carried out success fully it is absolutely necessary that the men have a representative in the field to look out for the interests or those employed in electrical activity.

SECESSIONISTS
 RECEIVE DEATH BLOW FROM COURT

SeCesSiOnist tactics which have been used from time to time against the International Association of Ma chinists have received a death blow in a recent court decision adverse to secessionist local in New York City and in the determination of the Grand Lodge to prosecute further the off cials of the offending local, according to E. C. Davidson, secretary-treasurer of the l. A. M.
 In an official report to District Lodge No, I5, New York City, made public today, Secretary Davidson, re- ferring to the case of Micrometer Lodge Mo- 46o decided by Judge Nit chell May, says:
 "Under this decision 1t Is a matter of impossibility for lodge to secede so long as there is a single protest which may be entered by any mem Der of the association. In other words, this decision eliminates all possibil- ities of organizing dual movements in the future and means a death blow to those dual movements which have been proving on the International Association of Machinists for several years"
 Judge Mays decision referred to by secretary bdN1QSOn concerned the action of certain members of Micro- meter Lodge No. 400 of the l. A. M who inf February 1920 seeded from the international and formed an or ganization which they called Micro- meter Lodge No. I of the Amalga- mated Metal Workers of America The seeding members took posses sion of the office furniture of Lodge 400 as we'll as the dues collected by 1t from members of the l. A. M Judge May held that inasmuch as the vote to secede was not a unanimous one, the seeding members were liable for goods and chattels they took. Judge Mays decision has released to Lodge 400 the funds of the organiza- ton which had been tied up in the bank pending the outcome of the liti- gation.
 Secretary Davidson states in his re- port to District Lodge No. I5 that the grand lodge will now proceed against the secretary of the dual or ganization to secure a return of the dues alleged to have been illegally collected.
 Commenting on Secretary David sons letter, Alfred Peabody, secretary of District Lodge Is, said:
 "We are glad to have this dual movement and business settled The secessionists have completely failed to build up an organization. What little strength they had has rapidly crumbled during the past two years.

DIR. HITCHCOCK TELLS TRADES COUNCIL OF
 HEALTH CENTER

Dr. Hitchcock, medical examiner and bacteriologist of the Health Gen. ter, was a guest of the Trades Coun- cil at the meeting held in Trades Council hall Thursday evening and gave a very interesting address on matters pertaining to health and ex- plained the work now being done by the Health Center for the people liv ing in that district,
 The Health Center, he said, is To- cated at 567 Grand avenue and IS be- ing operated as a sort of a demon stratiOn by the American Red Cross the Visiting Nurses Association and the Board of Health with some assist ance by the city.
 It takes care of the 10th, nth and I2th wards which comprises a popu- lation of nearly 27,ooo people and Dr. Hitchcock quoted figures to show how contagious diseases have been reduced since the inception of the Health Center due to careful work on the part of those affiliated with the Center. The district, he said, was composed mostly of foreigners and those in charge faced a very hard task in trying to convince these people that any action in the line of quaran- tines was taken for their own good.
 The object of the Health Center is to offer a place to all living in that district where they could have an ex- animation by medical experts and given consultation and advice abso- lutely free If you are found to be in need of medical treatment you are re- ferred to your own physician or to the or hospitals.

SELLING THE PUBLIC

As a step toward making the White House a center of Hot Stuff, MT. Laskcr suggests a Director of Ad- ministration Publicity-Sell yourself, MT. President!
 As business men Mir Laskcr and Secretary Davis are aware that pub licity Is worthless without a good article 10 sell. Is 1t lack of adver Using for Administration policies, or lack of sound policies, that is the trouble? The ship subsidy didn't sell, but it was a shoddy article which had been fruitlessly dangled before the eyes of the American buyer for a quarter century. The Administra- ton has not sold a foreign policy, for it has none in stock It didn't sell its policy in the shop strike and mine strike last summer. for it didn't offer any till the market was gone. Lack of publicity is not the real trouble.- N. Y Evening Post.

IV1ng. The ground under the k1tCh- en and dining room disappeared, talk ing with 1t the coal and other things stored beneath. The kitchen floor broke under the weight of the furni- ture and the stove was rescued just as it was slipping in.
 A man had paid $2,85O on $3,85o house, which presently started to sink. In the hope of saving it he had spent an additional $I,5oo to build a cellar He spoke bitterly of the estates Or mining companies served notice on their tenants to move be- cause the ground was undermined there was no place to which they could go. As there is no more ground for lease in Shenandoah, the people felt, he said, that there was nothing for them to do but wait for their house to cave in. "Then,' he said, ''after it's gone under you can go in and get what lumber Is lcft.'
 The home of another Of the chil- dren for whom a schedule was se- cured was perched on the edge of a breach which had opened after it was built Six years before the kitchen had fallen into the breach and at the time of the study one side of the house seemed dangerously near the edge.
 The two estates and the mining companies who were the landlords of the district, protected themselves by their leases from liability for any damage 10 property or to life and limb resulting from the caving of land due to mining operations, even though these mining operations were "negligently, unskillfully, and i'm properly" carried on and without leaving any support whatever for the surface"
 Landlord-Enp1oyer in Combination; ;
 Evils Multiply.
 The very fact that the landlord was also so frequently the employer, might we'll be said to have created a special obligation to protect the children of their employees from the demoralizing effect of living in houses such as those just described.
 Because of the swelling of the stream and the subsistence of the land on which the houses stood, the level of water in the creek was some 10 feet above the ground on the other side of the embankment. The result was that the ground between the lllSllW dN dllu lllC dlll OdO " do uSudlly flooded and water into which sewage, garbage, and refuse of all sorts had been dumped, stood in the yards and seeped into the cellars. Sometimes the water reached above the first floor level of the houses.
 The cellars had been closed lest some of the children fall in and be drowned In some of the houses ducks were found swimming in the cellars.
 For over half the families included in the study no garbage collections were made
 Some families living outside the borough made practice of sending their children into Shenandoah regu- larly to collect the garbage, which they fed to their pigs and other ami mals. These children, sometimes six or seven years of age, and known throughout the borough as the slop girls, picked over the garbage, car ried home in large pails what they thought the pigs would eat, and left the rest scattered about on the grounds.

A SHELL GAME

United States Senate inquiry into the holdings of the Rockefellers in oil companies was the fact that the elder Rockefeller hardly owned I per cent of the stock of any of the Standard Oil group, while his son owned stock estimated to be worth $4Io,8z4 800. Of course the income from this amount, set at $II,956,622 a year, yields a tidy contribution to the Coy ernment. But if such a fortune as $40, ,ooo, ,ooo were transferred under the Federal Inheritance Law, which
 levies 25 per, cent on all fortunes above $Io,ooo, ,ooo upon the succession to the estate, the Government would
 be enriched by more than S4o2,ooo ooo.-The Christian Science Monitor.
