Industry Profit Reports
Show All Records Broken
This, While Big Business De-
plOres High" Wages and
Labor Scarcity

New York-Wall street reports
that industry has smashed all records
and with increased cash and working
capital it was never in a stronger
position.
Profits of undreamed size have been
piled up by these captains of industry
and billions of dollars have been ad-
ded to their individual wealth. This
process has continued while big busi-
ness deplores "high" wages and a
scarcity of labor.
Wall street figures show that prof
it's have been enormous, and have even
surprised the industrial barons them
selves. Annual reports from 141 rep
resentative companies show a gain
of $2,505, ,989,582 in working capital
| the past eight years. This means that
after these companies paid dividends,
fancy salaries to directors and execu-
tives and stored away vast sums in
depreciation and maintenance funds,
there yet remains more than two and
| one-half billion dollars in cash and in
paper that can be quickly converted to
cash.
1t is shown that during these eight
| years the steel trust reduced it's cap
ital liabilities (paid off debts) to the
amount of $89,346,357 while at the
same time it's enormous profits made
it possible to add $293, ,264,538 to it's
working capital.
These terrific profits are again
shown in the report of the American
Can Company which reduced it's bond
ed debt $4,308,5O0 and added $21 1885,
OIL to working capital.
The Baldwin Locomotive Company
reduced it's liabilities $1,600,000 and
added $24,752,058 to working capital.
Corn products reduced it's bonded
debt $9,456,247 and added $29, ,908,397
to working capital.
Similar gains are reported by Unit
ed States rubber, Du Pont powder
Swift & Co., American telephone and
telegraph and other combinations.
Never in history has such a golden
stream flowed into the Golfers of the
few.

WANT ROAD ABSORBED

Boston.-Wrecked beyond any hope
of repair by itself, directors of the
strike bound Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic railroad are hoping they will
be taken over by the Atlantic Coast
Line Louisville & Nashville system.
The A., B. & A. has sold large hold
ings in New England, where no men
tion is made of the union-smashing
policy of this corporation. The road
became entangled with the railroad la
Dor board two years ago when it want
ed to cut wages without holding hear
ings. To escape the boards jurisdic-
tion it was thrown into bankruptcy,
and the federal court appointed the
president of the road it's receiver.
Wages ewre cut and the employees
suspended work. The strike is being
directed by the receiver, who is an Off
Ger of the federal court.

MORE TURMOIL
In Store For Rocky Old
New Haven Railroad

Hartford, Conn.-The report by the
so-called governors committee that
the various New England states op-
crate the Boston & Maine and the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroads for 10 years is strongly
protested in some quarters.
The proposal to exchange mortgage
bonds of the railroads for stock els
looked upon as an attempt to squeeze
this property from owners. 1t is
charged that the committees report
was inspired by Boston bankers who
have landed squarely in the camp of
state-ownership advocates to further
their plot.
The Hartford Times says "there is
a good deal of camoufiage in this New
Haven railroad agitation, and back of
one of the smoke screens is the itch
ing desire of Boston financial interests
to control the New Haven road"
The New Haven has been a foot
ball for financiers, who have wrecked
the road again and again. With it's
present anti-union policy, the road is
physically and financially disorgan-
lied, and it is now proposed that polit-
ical appointees, representing the vari-
Gus New England states, be given full
control of the road.
The proposal to exchange mortgage
bonds for stock that is only a lien on
profits is expected to arouse strong
opposition from bond holders who are
not on the inside" The bonds are
held by life insurance companies, and
the United States government also
owns $88,000,000 of this paper, which
is really a first mortgage on the prop
erty The bankers propose that this
mortgage be changed to paper that
promises to pay dividends-if there
are any profits.

EVADE EIGHT-HOUR
LAW

Denver.-Those workers who be-
lieve all that is necessary to secure
the eight-hour day is to pass law
are being disillusioned.
There is an eight-hour law for wo-
men in this state, but it is being ig-
nored in this city A laundry proprie-
tor openly faunts the law and has
declared: 81 have a dozen big bust
nessmen behind me-" The state in
dustrial commission refuses to act, and
the district attorney takes the same
position.
Under the law, it is illegal for
woman to work overtime. This places
her between two fres-she is dis
charged by the boss if she refuses to
work overtime, and she is fined if
she does.
This brilliant piece of statesman
ship is taken advantage of by long
hour employers who tell women en-
ployes that they will be fined if they
admit that they work more than eight
hours.

KEY MEN MAKE GAINS

Chicago.-Officers of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' Union of America
announce new contract with it's Ca
madam members and the Canadian
National Telegraphs Company. The
key men have secured a total yearly
increase in wages of $125,0OO, which
dates back to May / of this year.

TENANTS ORGANIZE

New York.-A movement represent.

launched in this city to fight the
greedy policy of landlords. The meet

lar of the landlords fund with ten
ant who would vote in the fall cleo

tend the term of the emergency rent

Most people do. Some often do very
foolish and dangerous things just

over to the farm next to that of
Farmer Browns.
This was a most foolish thing TO
do, because 1t was taking a chance.
On Farmer Browns farm no hunting
is allowed. You know. Farmer
Browns Boy keeps watch to keep all
hunters off. But on this next farm
hunting was allowed. That Is why
Peter was taking a foolish chance.
On this farm was a long. very thick,
low hedge. Peter knew all about IT..
for he had been there before. So
close together grew the bushes OF
that hedge that there was only one
place that Peter could get through
IL comfortably. The fact Is, Peter
had made that hole in the hedge. 1t
was just big enough for him to
squeeze through.
Usually when Peter went over there
he did not go far from that hedge.

There Is little similarity among the
family names of Nichols, Collins and

all derivatives, in the last analysis. OF
the same given name.
The name is Nicholas, of Greek
origin, from the word "nichhao' or
"nixao," meaning to conquer, apd
spread Throughout Europe with the
Drise of Christianity, and the popu-
Ia rity of one of the early saints of
the church.
Tn virtually every country the given
name became popular, and according
to the language of the people into
which 1t was engrafted, 1t developed
a great variety of forms under the
stimuius OF the necessity for an ever
Increasing number of names in :order
to distinguish one individual from
another, a necessity which eliminated
finally in the development of second
names, or family names.
I In north Europe, among the Scandt-
nayian and Teutonic races. with the
exception of the English (who made
