SPIES WORSE THAN SCABS

A man-shaped piece of human flesh
that will go to work in a place work
ing under rules and agreements OBJ
tanned by the organized efforts of a
union, who will accept the benefits
procured by the strenuous efforts of
union members; who will go so far
as to apply for membership and then
line up with a bunch he knows to be
unfriendly to the organization, act as
stool-pigeon, carry tales to his en-
ployer, play the snitch on his brother
worker-such a man is wosre than a
scab, because he acts as a deadly
germ, or a rotten apple in barrel
of good ones, that spreads decay to
all the rest.
The way to handle these parasites
is to locate them and work as body
for their determination.

USE YOUR HEAD
(By Z. H. Holman)

An animal will watch a fire burn
out and freeze to death beside it. He
will never think of putting on fresh
fuel A man will keep the fire burn
ing and save himself from the cold.
The earth has always been the
same. It's resources have always
been ready for man to use. Coal,
iron, lumber, heat, electricity, radio,
have been as they are now ever since
man has lived on earth.
For long time our early ancestors
lived like animals, in the forests and
caves. Man was afraid of nature.
He thought the earth was full of evil
spirits. He feared everything he did
not understand. He was too ignorant
to learn about these forces of nature.
Man has passed through the stage,
partially at least. He has USED HIS
HEAD until now he understands how
to burn coal, build houses, send
steamboats, around the world, and
catch radio messages out of the air.
All the wonderful machinery, the
railroads, the factories, the sky-scrap-
ers, that make our industrial system,
are the results of men USING THEIR
HEADS. When people begin to
think about things they usually make
progress.
In spite of all the labor-saving ma
chinery we now use there are still a
few problems to be solved. We ought
to USE OUR HEADS and think about
these social questions.
We still have war Why? The
workers do the fighting, they pay the
bills, they make the sacrifices, they
vote for men who keep us out of
peace. They, the workers, are re-
sponsible.
Think it over; USE YOUR HEAD.
Just as soon as the workers begin to
think for themselves about war,
some way will be found to abolish
wars.
We produce about 25 times the
wealth per days work that our grand
fathers did. Still, over a million
workers are idle in normal times.
Why? USE YOUR HEAD.
When the workers really think
about unemployment some way will
be found to give every worker a
chance to work.
In the richest land on earth, we al
ways have poverty. Why? USE
YOUR HEAD. There is no reason
except the ignorance of the workers
that permits poverty to exist.
So in regard to all our social prob

WOMEN SCORE HIGH COURT

The supreme court was unsparing-
ly criticised at a conference in Wash
ington called by the national women's
trade union league to consider the
supreme courts annulment of the
District of Columbia women's mini
mum wage law.
President Gompers declared that it
is the purpose of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor to see that the will
of the people as expressed by their
ballot, shall be the law of the land
He said the greatest wrong in the
supreme courts decision was the de-
nial of the principle congress inserted
in the Clayton law, that labor is not
a commodity nor an article Of COM
merce. The court ignored this decla-
ration, said President Gompers, and
likened Women's labor to the selling
of a shin bone for soup. The trade
unionist said the supreme court of the
United States is san autocratic and
dominating agency of our govern
ment," and he urged that its usurpa-
tion be ended by amendment to the
constitution or by other congressional
action.
Other speakers included A. F. Of l..
Vice President Woll, DR.. John A.
Ryan, of the social action department,
national Catholic welfare council;
President Maud Swartz of the Ma
tonal women's trade union league,
and Miss Mary Anderson, director of
the Federal wOmen's bureau.
1t was reported that since the wom-
EMS wage law has been annulled,
wages of women have been reduced
by hotels and department stores.

Persecution of Ohio
ChiropraCtiC Doctors

Norwalk, Ohio-More than 200
Chiropractors from various sections
of northern Ohio made an automobile
pilgrimage here today to visit their
state secretary, DIR. c. E. Schillig,
who is in the county Jail.
The visitors more than taxed the
capacity of the Jail and when it be-
came apparent that the corridors
would not hold them all, Sheriff Gre
CORY allowed the prisoner to enter
tain his guests" in the common pleas
court room at the court house. 1t was
county, and perhaps the state, that a
prisoner was accorded the right to
use the court house in which to en-
tertain his hordes of visitors.
Among the speakers at the meet
ing were Sheriff Gregory and County
Recorder Dawson who endorsed the
efforts of the Chiropractors in their
fight for a law that will remove them
from the exclusive control Of the
state medical board and place them
under a separate board of Chiroprac-
tic examiners.
Norwalk, Ohio-Dr C. z. Schillig,
chiropractor, who is serving a Jail
sentence here rather than pay fine
of $4,000 assessed against him when
convicted Of practicing Chiropractic
without first having obtained a license
from the state medical board, gets
more mail than any other person in
the county.
Every mail brings scores of letters
for him. They come from practically
every state in the Union and COM
mend him on his stand in going to
jail for his profession. DR.. Schillig
is somewhat of a letter writer him
self. He has mailed out as many as
1000 letters a day. He has a type
writer in his cell and a stenographer
comes to the Jail daily to take dicta
ton.

COMMISSION WILL AIR V|ADUCT PLANS WITH R. R HEADS
Frisco Agrees to Move Round- house and Freight Station. L. & N. and Southern
 Affected

Birmingham proposed viaduce. scheme will be given it's second air ing within the next 10 days. when officials of the Louisville and Nash vile and Southern railroads will be asked to meet with members of the city commission, according to :. n an- nouncement made Saturday afternoon by D. E. McLendon, president of the commission.
 This meeting supplants a meeting held recently by representative group of business men of tho city when it was decided that the rail- roads be asked to attend confer enct and state their position be- fore the commissioners. Both the Louisville and Nashville and the Southern will be much affected by the present viaduct scheme, as the plans submitted by the engineers de- partment calls for viaducts east of Twent- first street and underpasses west of Twentieth street.
 By these plans it will be nee 7sary for the two railroads to elevate their entrance roads into Birmingham along railroad avenue from about Fourteenth street to the Terminal station. All of the proposed via ducts will be built with sufficient clearance for the trains. Underpasses will extend from First avenue to Avenue B. The necessity of the sub ways was stated to be that the grade would be too steep on viaducts west of Twentieth street and valuation | l T be materially decreased if they were erected The natural terrain from Twenty first ttreet, east, Is ideal for viaducts and not subways. the engi- neer's office reported.
 The Frisco railroad has already agreed to move it's road house dur ing the present year in order that subway or viaduct may be built over Twentieth street, north. They also agreed to move their freight house during 1924.

Trial of R. M. Burnell and R. M. Tucker, city firemen, who were sus- pended by Chief Akins on charges of drunkenness while on duty, will be resumed before the civil service board at o'clock Monday night in the council chamber at the city hall. Two hours were given over at the opening of the trial last Thursday night, but owing to the absence of J. E. Smith, a prosecution witness, the trial was continued.
 It was generally expected the trial will be brought to a close Monday night. In the civil service bill, if the board discharges the men. they have chance for appeals to the city commission. M. A. Dinsmore is de- lending the two men, who admit to have taken a drink, but denied the charges of drunkenness.
 Police Officer J. E. Phillips will be tried by the board Friday night on charges of misconduct, on charges preferred by W. c. Moran. Moran stated in a letter to the board that Officer Phillips kicked a negro and hit him over the head with his re volver, near the Hillman hospital several days ago

SHIPPERS EXPECT SINGLE LINE RATES FUR THREE ROADS
See Victory at Public Service Hearing March 25--South- ern System Is
 Involved

Alabama petitioners for establish ment of single line mileage rates over the Southern. Alabama Great South . ern and Northern Alabama railroads which would amount to a considera ble reduction, forecast the winning ot their case before the state public service commission on March 25 by reason of several decisions rendered in support of the principle contended d for. More particularly they have been encouraged by the decision just rem dered by the public service commis- sion of the state of Georgia.
 The decision of the Georgia com mission directs the Southern railroad and the Georgia, Southern and Flor ida railroad to apply continuous mile age rates on all freight handled jointly, both class and commodity, after April l. instead of combination of single line rates. The continuous or single line rates are always con siderably lower than the joint haul rates, where freight is handled by two or more lines. The order is based upon the fact that the Georgia, Southern and Florida railroad is op- erated ss part of the Southern Rail- way system.
 Alabama Petition.
 Now pending before tho Alabama public service commission as & result of complaints made by the Birming- ham Traffic association and the Gadsden Chamber of Commerce, Is a citation to force the Southern rail- road, Alabama Great Southern rail- road and Northern Alabama railroad to apply single line mileage in con nectton with the Conner statutory rates and other class and commodity scalesc, instead of joint line mileage, which will result in material reduc- tion.
 It is stated by the traffic associa : tion that the interstate commerce. commission has ruled on several oc- casions that joint line scales must not be applied where there is common control or management, and these cases, coupled with the decision Which has just been rendered by the Georgia railway commission, induces the association to believe that these precedents will enable the shippers to prevail upon tile Alabama commission 10 render a favorable decision. This means much to Birmingham it is de- ciared, as points located on the South ern. Alabama Great Southern and Northern Alabama railroads are Blr- mingham's trade territory
