PSYCHOLOGIST URGES
CONSTRUCTIVE THINKING

IF you want to change your en-
yironment, do not consume your
energy by thinking what an un:
pleasant neighborhood you are in
and what uncongenial neighbors you
have" declared DIR. David ". Bush,
applied psychologist, speaking at the
Belasco last night on What Is Love
and How to Keep 1t"
Energy spent In such thinking, I"
he warned, will be consumed with
out benefit and you will continue to
live where you are. Rather spend
your energy in constructive think
ing of the happiness you will have
when you will have moved to the
place you want to go. Love what
you have now so you will know
how to love and appreciate what you
are going to have"
Tonight DIR. Bush will continue
his lecture series, speaking on "As
Man Thinketh." Tomorrow night
his topic will be Poverty. IA Dis

It having been mentioned that.
the the terrific earthquake in Japan
had been forecast by Japanese
scientist, it Is interesting that,
Prof Omori, director imperiala
earthquake investigation at Tokyo,
years from that time q catagtro.
That forecast was based on the
minimum frequency OF the quakes
antececedeY1t to that date.
His theory is this: that the IRE.
quency of lesser quakes experienced
Of course in Japan, serve as ad.
justments toward normality; conse-
Quently any falling off in the FIRE.
quency of these lesser quaIkes
would be indicative of, or point TO,
a lack Of stability Of the eartl1's
crust; therefore 1t would point to q
catastrophe. .
Rainfall IL Evolved.
Another interesting fact il that
Omor1 has connected the amount Of
rainIalI on the northwest side Of
teAAS -0LAAAuC Will THESE QUakG8.
In that, he claims, Of course, that
they are instrumental in bringing
about the slipping along the fault
lines.
Omori made some investigations
as to the time Of quakes and found.
more occurring in the. afternooIl
and evening than in the mornings.
and this he attempts to connect
with barometric variations OF ALTERS
Moons and mornings. but I do not
think he has established any fixed
law as yet.
There are two types of dualxes
common in Japan, one, the tectOnic
quake, following the slippings OF
the earth's crust, which ID not Of
volcanic origin. The other Ii the
volcanic quake, and they have
quite number Of volcanoes in
Japan.
This quake is not of volcanic
origin that / can see. 1t is more
tectonic. / judge that from my
records here In my laboratory.
can see no reason why the
building of great numbers Of mod

any effect in, connection with earth

Marine Eng. Union
Bids on u. s. Ships
(By Federated Press)

New York-Organized labor, al
ready extensively engaged in bank
ing, and in the case of the locomotive
engineers, in mining, is planning here
to enter the shipping field. The Ma
rine Engineers Beneficial Association
Local No. 33, has offered the U. S
shipping board 100000 for three
cargo ships of 10000 tons each, and
if the offer is accepted the local ex-
poets to follow it with bids on other
ships.
Thomas B. Healev, manager of the
union, said the union is prepared tc
pay the cash Immediately and get the
ships into operation.
"The 5000 members of our local
will subscribe the necessary amount
in a minute" he declared Besides
the union has a treasury and some
thing up it's sleeve
The national organization has g
membership of more than $4,000, and
these, Healev added, would sten into
the investment if called upon.
eff the project goes through" he
said, "we intend to have satisfied
crews, to pay fair wages, and to in
still into the men operating the ships
the idea that the vessels are THEN
ships; that they are net working to
enrich individuals who, despite then
claims of losing money, have about
them all the signs and marks of af-
fuence."

No Case Against
Machinist Organizer

New Haven, Conn. = Charges
against Ernest Schleifer, organizer
for the International Association OF
Machinists, has collansed and the
trade unionist has been dismissed by
Superior Court Judge Webb.
The legality of the charges against
Schleifer is indicated by one of the
demurrers filed by the unionist's at
torneys, and which was upheld by the
court:
"That said information merely
states that the defendant entertained
certain expressions made by him ano
such intentions do not either at COM
mon law or by virtue of any statute
constitute a crime"
The arrest of Schleifer was an at
tempt to split locked out shop mer
of the New Haven road. Eastern
newspapers were filled with harrow
ing tales of this trade unionist's al
legged misdeeds. The plot failed, anc
the shop men are as determined as
ever.

Free immigration
Favored by Gary

New York-The present restrictive
immigration law ''is one of the worst
things this country ever did for it
SELF" said Judge Gary at the annual
meeting of the steel trusts stock
holders.
The Judge, however, developed
quite a streak of humor at the meet
ing. He said "our men" would always
be perfectly satisfied "were it not for
the uncalled for and unjustifable in
reference of outsiders who don't
know anything about our business
and would just as soon see it go to
smash as they would see it succeed"
After the stockholders digested this
gem the Judge continued: "When the
men are given an opportunity to pass
upon the questions that are raised
they are generally easily persuaded
that the management has their well
fare at heart"
Several of the stockholders winked
significantly when the Judge mention
ed that "the men" were "easily ner-
suaded."
The Judge finally declared that the
management could not control prices,
as this is something entirely in the
control of sellers and purchasers to-
gether."

Bad Order Equipment
Shows IneffienCy

Washington-In renewing his at
tack on railroad management, United
States Senator Couzens quoted figures
to show that modern locomotives are
not efficiently used and in recent
years there had been a great increase
in bad order cars and engines. He
again stated that the general practice
of railroad management is to cut
wages and raise rates, instead of en-
deavoring to find other means of re-
duclng costs.
"The interstate commerce commits
sion's figures show that the 1922 traf-
fic was arnroximately 10 per cent
less than in 1920" said Mr.. Couzens.
"And you will observe that the differ
ence in the number of employees was
approximately 10 per cent, so where
is this faunted effciency?"
In answer to the railroads claim
that they have cut more than billion
dollars from annual costs, Senator
Couzens said that TIE interstate COM
merce commission should see that the
public is benefited by reduced trans
portation charges.

Farmers CO-Operatives
A Growing Success

Cleveland-In nine years sol farm
ers' buying and selling co-operatives
in the north central states have in
creased the volume of their business
Sc per cent, reports the All-American
Cooperative commission. The busi-
ness these sol co-operatives did IN
1913, amounting to $47,798,000, has
grown to $78,498,000. Thirty organ
izations in Kansas boosted their trade
184 per cent.
One-third of the business done by
the 349S co-operatives in IL states
over 100000, 0,000-was in grain.
Dairy products came next, followed
by live stock and fruit and vegetables.
The next step must be taken by the
city workers who can easily reduce
their living costs if they organize
consumers cooperative stores to dis
tribute the food products marketed
by the farmers organizations, says
the All-American Cooperative.

Florida Whipping Boss
Charged With Murder

Madison, Fla. - Walter Higgin-
botham, convict camp whipping boss,
has been released on $4,000 bail to
answer the charge of frst-degree
murder in connection with the death
of Martin Tabert of North Dakota
who, witnesses declare, was beaten TO
death by Higginbotham.
1t is announced that the parents of
Tabert will sue the Putnam lumber
company for $4,000 damages. Hig-
ginbotham was employed by that COM
pany, which has an agreement with
the county authorities whereby it
leases prisoners.
Numerous witnesses have testified
regarding their experience with Flor
ida courts and their sentence to these
convict camps, where prisoners were
logged. The expose has aroused the
state and in response to that senti-
ment the Legislature is now investi-
eating the leasing and whipping sys-
tenn.
The leasing system has developed
few defenders but efforts to do away
with corporal punishment will be OPP
posed. Opponents of the system de-
clare that with the abolition of the
county leasing system there is no as
surance of good treatment for the
prisoner.

TO FOOL US
SMOKE SCREEN is RAISED TO
SAVE COAL PROFITS
Mine Owners Are Trying to HoOdwink
United States Coal Commission
Regarding True Situation

Washington-Coal owners are max
ing hysterical efforts to detract the
United States coal commission and
the public generally from the profits
in this industry.
The commission is being flooded
with stories of how the United Mine
Workers of America are conspiring
to monopolize this industry, and cause
anguish to the minded, holy coal
owners who live only to serve the
people.
The anthracite mine owners have
employed Walter Gordon Merritt to
sign their statements. Mr.. Merritt
knows as much about the coal industry
as he does about the labor movement.
In reply to this attack, the mine
workers say, in part:
eff ever there was an unconscion-
able hold-up, it is the one that has
been inflicted on consumers of anthra-
cite in the last several months. 1t
costs around So ton to produce an
thracite at the mines, but the con-
sumner is compelled to pay SIG to ST.
ton for that same coal. If the
operators wish to put stop to hold
up, let them begin at home and re-
lieve the consumer of a part of this
imposition. The miner receives but
a very small share of the SIG or SIT.
He is not responsible for the gouge
Of the consumers pocket.
"And when these operators raise
the question of a monopoly they are
again on thin ice. There is such in
tricate interlocking of coal companies,
anthracite railroads, sales companies,
wholesalers and distributors all con-
trolled and dominated by the same
interests, that the anthracite business
is a gigantic, scientific monopoly, a
fact well known for many years.
eff the anthracite companies are in
earnest in their demand for correct
tion and regulation of the anthracite
monopoly, the United Mine Workers
will be happy to help them clean it up.
Possibly, if that were accomplished,
this monopoly would be forced to re-
duce the outrageous price which the
consumer now is required to pay for
anthracite"

Railroads Ordered
To Settle Up in Full

Washington-The interstate COM
merce commission has ordered all
railroads to report their 1922 earn
ings, and pay to the government, un-
der the Cummins-Esch law, one-half
of the amount the roads earned in
excess of 6 per cent profit, based on
the commissions value of the invest
ment. This money is intended to be
loaned to weaker roads.
This order follows a recent decision
by New Orleans federal court which
upheld this section of the transporta-
tion act. The court proceedings were
watched by every railroad fnancier
and manager, as millions of dollars
are Involved.
Railroads that have made in excess
Of 6 per cent profit have not complied
with the law. No objection was raised
against that section of the bill when
it was pending in congress. Then the
big railroads wanted the support of
the little railroads.
