BY THE WAY
Comment and Criticism About Things
 Doing in the World

Railroad executives like to pose as being interested only in transportation, but every now and then they are re- vealed as taking more than passing interest In propaganda.
 Just the other day Glenn Griswold, writing from Chicago in the Philade1- phia Public Ledger, let the cat out of the bag when he said:
 the general feeling is that little can happen to the roads this year. Congress has too short a time for action to accomplish anything of consequence, and even if 1t did the legislation would not go into effect un- til late in the year. Nevertheless, the railroad executives are keeping going a backhre of publicity to acquaint the public with the true facts in an en- deavor to mold opinion in the right direction, to prevent any radical action against the transportation systems in the next session of Congress"
 That the railroads are busy flaming the "backfire of publicity" of which the Ledger speaks is apparent on ev- cry hand. First 1t was the Mellno tax plan that engaged the attention of the railroad propagandists. Now they are attacking the Howell Barkley railroad

Department, and announced that he proposed to retain Francis J. Heney, a famous trained investigator, to go into the affairs of the prohibition depart ment. It was the nthat MT. Mellon, quaking with fear, ran to the President and blubbered that the investigation must be stopped.
 In the light of Glavis' disclosures in the Overholt case, the serretary's panic is not difficult to understand.
 Pinchot Drives a Nail.
 Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania gave additional testimony to the close relations existing between Secretary Mellon and the whiskey interests in an address last week before the Metho- dist Conference at Springfield, Mass. He said:
 Secretary Me1lon's opposition to the investigation of the prohibition en- forcement service will direct public at tention and the attention of the inves- tigating committee at Washington to the fact that MT. Mellon was part own CT of many thousand barrels of Over holt whiskey when the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect; to the fact that as, late as March 31 of this year he. was, on the authority of Sen ator Reed of Pennsylvania, still inter ested in the proceeds of this whiskey when sold; to the illegal withdrawals of more than 42,OOO barrels of whiskey from the Overholt warehouse near Pittsburgh which led to the indict- ment: and to the fact that the indict- ments were quashed and the men re- sponsib1e were never punished"

ing to MT. Wicks, although he does not believe that this issue will come to the forefront until the question of peace-without which the program Is futile-has been settled. And the La Dor Party will remain in power until the question of peace is settled, in the opinion of MT. Wicks.
 ''The ethics of Jesus Christ as spoken in His sermon on the mount is the only permanent basis for an in dustrial systen," said Mr. Wicks. And the Labor Party" he added, by negotiation, education and developing fine line of fellowship" is paving the way for this program.
 MT. Wicks is making tour of the United States under the auspices of the Manchester Guardian, with which he is connected as an editor.

MELLON IN A PANIC OVER PROBE OF HIS
 BOOZE INTERESTS
Bootleggers Who Take Whiskey
 From His Distillery Allowed to Escape Prosecution.

Washington, May 31.-When Sen ator Couzens started to investigate the Treasury Departments prohibition en- forcement record, Secretary Andrew w Mellon ran in a panic to President Coolidge and protested that such an Investigation would destroy the mor- ale of the whole department. He per suaded the President to commit the unprecedented action of sending a message to the Senate protesting against the investigation. Needless to say, the Senate stood upon its own rights, and the continuance of the probe only awaits the return of Sena- tor Couzens from the hospital.
 But the question arises: Why was Mellon so badly frightened at the prospect of liquor probe? Surely this great official, this multi-million- .aire god of the Big Business world, had nothing to fear on his own ac- count Alas, an article appearing in the current number of Hearst's Inter national Magazine, shows that Mir. Mellon had good reason for wanting

to suppress this investigation. The ar ticle was written by Louis R. Glavis, an investigator an dwriter of nation al reputation, who started the fight against Ballinger which resulted Tn the wrecking of the Taft administration
 Mellon Owns Big Distillery.
 The case which is cited shows what happened when a fearless prosecuting officer tried to convict men who were found to have withdrawn an enormous quantity of whiskey from the Overholt distillery in Pennsylvania, and trans ferred 1t to saloonkeeper. This dis tillery IS owned by Secretary Andrew Mellon. The United States district at torney who had the indictments brought was removed from office, and the indictments were promptly dis missed by his successor on the ground of insufficient evidence"
 One of the curious problems result ing from the dismissal of these cases on the ground of insufficient evi- dence," is the question of what is to be done with the bribe money which had been paid to prohibition agent by the accused men, and which was being held as evidence in the case.
 The Mellon family for many years has owned the Overholt disti1lery, one of the largest in the country. When MT. Mellon was appointed secretary of the treasury the absurdity of dis tiller being in charge of the prohibition enforcement machinery of the nation seems to have impressed him, SO he placed the property in trust with one of the Mellon banks Senator Nickel

COMPANY UNION" AIDS
 WAGE-CUTTING EMPLOYER

Portland, Ore, May 31.-The Four L Bulletin, official organ of the Lu1n- bermens Company union" boasts that no member of this union" is striking against wage cuts at Rey- mond. Several mills lowered rates and unorganized employees suspended work
 The management of the Dollar Portland Lumber Company in this city called for 12H per cent. cut, but the company union" asked that 10 per cent reduction be the limit. The man. agement ordered the 121z per cent. cut and the workers quit. Members of the union" now complain that the com pany violated the rules of it's "union" by enforcing this excessive reduction.

labor bill and endeavoring ito mold the Ledger.
 These propaganda activities are not inclined to, strengthen public regard for the railroads. The people have suspicion that the first business of the carriers Is to furnish efficient tram sportation and that if they will stick to their business and e1ave propaganda alone, they will be better off, which seems to be a reasonable way of look ing at the matter
 Adoption of ethical codes by vari- ous trade associations seem to be quite the style.
 r Latest to adopt code is the Amer ican Drug Manufacturers Association, which has condemned piracy" in the manufacture of drugs. Imitation of the products of competitors and false statements by employees are also barred. The code asserts that "the es- sence of ethics is honesty" and takes dS Ito PAAi1APAN, w Anloo@f@A ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them
 Though the cynical may sheer at the idea of mixing business and ethics, action such as taken by the drug man ufacturers marks step in advance. In the first place, adoption of code of ethics indicates that industry Is awak- erling to the fact that it owes a duty to the public and to its employees. In the second place 1t Is a definite begin ming at f-government by industry. It is an attempt, perhaps futile in many instances but successful in others, to remedy industrial abuses by the action of industry itself. Industry is tackling the job of clearing up its own evils and is thereby laying the foundation for better order of society.

TRADE UNIONISM IS FOUNDATION STONE
 OF BRITISH LABOR
Political Party and Control of Gov ernment a Logical Develop
 ment, Says Editor.

Ames, Iowa, May I-"Every rise in the status of the British. workingman came as a result of trade unionism and it is now recognized as an integral part of the British industrial system,' said Sidney F. Wicks, of the staff of the Manchester Guardian, Manchester, England, universally recognized as one of the worlds great newspapers, who last week adressed the students and faculty of Iowa State College on The Significance of the Labor Party in Great Britain
 Popular opinion that strikes increase with the growth of trade unionism is unfounded, said MT. Wicks, and Is the result of newspapers playing up" the sensational acts in industrial disputes and overlooking that which has been gained by peaceful negotiation.
 Statistics show strikes get fewer and fewer as unions become better or ganized. No industrialist in England, 5 said MT. Wicks, would consider con- ducting an industry without the aid of trade unions"
 Growth of the Labor Party from the ranks of trade unionism, he explained is a logical development, and he ex- pressed his profound faith as a sym pathetic 1iberar' in the ultimate suc- cess of the program of the Labor gov ernment of England. Progress of so- cial reform by constitutional methods in direct opposition to the methods of the Russian bo1sheviki-he pointed out, is the Labor Party plan for get ting it's program adopted.
 Naturalization of the, natural mo- nopolies, such as coal and the rail- ways, and the control Of the means of production for the logical use of all the people, are the foundation stones of the Labor Party program, accord

lar has announced, after an investiga tion, that SO far as he can discover, MT. Mellon continues to receive the income, if any, from the distillery.
 Easy to Get Melons Booze.
 If that is true, then it appears that MT. Mellon, as the chief prohibition enforcement officer of the country is the recipient of the proceeds from a violation of the law which he is charged With enforcing
 George Fatkins was superintendent of the Overholt plant at Broad Ford, Pa. Morris Goodman was a saloon keeper at Reading, Pa. A Federal grand jury indicted Fatkins and Good man on the charge of conspiracy. Fat kins was charged with having deliber- ate1y accepted forged liquor permit, by which 295O cases of whiskey were removed from the distillery and turn ed over to Goodman. Federal agents seized 75O cases before they could be un1oaded, and found 496 cases in Good mans cellar.
 An examination of the records show ed that in four months between Sep tember, 1920, and January, 1921, Good man had withdrawn a. total of 42,OO0 gallons of liquor from the distillery. Some of it was withdrawn on his own permit, some on permits purporting to have been issued to others. When agents made search for these permits they found them in the Mellon Ma tiona1 Bank. After some trouble with the banks attorney, they succeeded in getting them.
 Prosecuting Officer Removed.
 This hapueied just before MT. Mel lon entered the cabinet, March 4, 1921. Immediately after he became cabi net member, United States District At facts to a Federal grand jury, which returned indictments against Fatkins, Goodman, and number of others, in c1uding some prominent politicians. The stage was all set for determined prosecution of all those involved in one of the worst examples of law violation that had ever come before the enforce ment officers.
 Some of the defendants offered to plead guilty and pay large fines on con- dition that prison sentences not be de manded. Driscoll, who was resolved to send the whole outfit to jail, refused to accept the offer. Included in the charges was that of attempting to bribe an agent, and the money used III the case was held as evidence.
 Suddenly, on March 1o, 1921, 10 days after the indictments were returned, and Is days after MT. Mellon became secretary of the treasury, Driscoll was removed from office, and Walter Lyons was appointed in his place. Without. consulting the agents who had worked up the cases, and who had possession of the evidence, Lyons dismissed all the indictments on the ground of "insuf1- cient evidence" including those in which the defendants had offered to plead guilty.

lowed after them. At the high,
gTill-covered front door Rogers
father extended his hand. Thomas,
the Sinclair butler, offered his
good-by in choking voice. Then,
having hailed cab from the
street, Roger guided Doris down
the brownstone steps. The heavy
door closed with a reverberating
clang. The old millionaire stepped
to the library door. And in the
next instant he was at his wife's
side, her limp form held in his
strong arms.

and began at, once to unloosen

sense of authority in the emery

Wells Again Are Popular

EoR a time, when fashion
l brought into vogue the very
small hat, relegated wells to the
shelf of passe styles. Now they
are with us again. But they are
seen this time in new and charm
ing effects. ~
Long wells seemed to claim the
pinnacle of style, although the
short, close-fitting variety are not
far behind. The new veil seems
: almost a part of the hat with
which it is worn, because it is of
the same color or of harmonious
shade. Chenille embroidery in "a
deep border at the lower edge of
the new wells gives an opportunity
. for achieving some Of these clever
color schemes.
