Discretion may be the better

Soft soap may be all right but ell

It's bad enough to believe all you

LABOR'S PROTEST ON OIL LEASES
 IS HANDICAPPED

A year ago the labor press of America charged that the Teapot Dome scandal was SUPPRESSED NEWS.
 Newspapers with one or two ex- captions, could not be induced to say a world about giving away this great national oil reserve, together with the naval oil reserve i'll California.
 The labor press, with the cooper ation of International Labor News Service hammered away at the big scandal. The American Federation of Labor protested time and time again.
 For months there was silence on the part of the daily newspapers silence everywhere.
 Finally the pounding began to tell. Now the United States Senate has set aside $1OO,0O0 for special prose cution and the President has named bipartisan counsel to supercede the United States Attorney General in the prosecution.
 It isn't know yet who is to be prosecuted, but that there will be prosecutions seems assured.
 The important fact at this hour is that Labor's protest has been vindi- cated and the United States seems about to recover at least part of what was thrown away by Albert B. Fall as secretary of the interior.

DAY BENEFIT TO ALL
 NSTEEL MILLS
New System Is Pronounced Success, Trust Admits, After Six
 Months Trial

l Pittsburgh, Mar. ,.-The first half year of the eight-hour day in the steel
 industry has shown results of greater
 efficiency in the mills, better relations between employer and employees and a higher standard of living among the
 workmen and their families, according
 to surveys recently made in various steel centers. It is declared an in- crease of cost in the making of steel from $2 to $3 ton has resulted. The United States Steel Corporation
 and 70 per cent. of the independents have almost completed the change from the two-shift to the three-shift day. The Steel Corporation established the eighthour day Aug. 1o, 1923, in all plants where continuous operations are maintained
 Welfare workers maintained in all plants of the corporation by the Gen. eral Welfare Board, under the direction |of L. H. Burnett, assistant to the President of the Carnegie Steel Com pany, have followed up conditions close ly since the adoption of the shorter day and found in most cases that the men are satisfied with the eight-hour turn because they get more time at home with their families and more time for recreation.
 The most difficult problem growing out of the change in working hours is that of maintaining tonnage and effici- ency, according to officials Most of them say that they do not know whether efficiency is higher or other wise. but that the tonnage at the fur mace Is the same. There Is a better spirit and contentment among the workers. Few come late. This was not so on the longer run.
 While the eight-hour day has slightly lowered the earnings of the average steel worker, bankers in several dis tricts, including Homestead and Mo Keesport, declare there has been no falling off in the deposits of the work e.s because of the decrease. It is stated tEe workingmen are more thrifty. More men are buying their own homes.

Backward Bankers
 Told to Be Liberal

New York, Mar. IA plea that bank CTS change their bourbon outlook oi life featured speech by Evans Wool len of Indianapolis, president of the trust company division of the American bankers association.
 The bankers were told that they must be liberal in their views that free speech be permitted their opponents, and that jailing agitators and driving them to underground methods is worse than fruitless. The speaker intimaten that it was time for bankers to cease their prattle about the unchangeability of property rights, and to use their brain i'll contesting such acts as inheri- tance laws.
 "An inheritance tax" said Mir Vol len, "is challenged most effectively-as capital tax or any other government tai taking of money is challenged most effectively-not by attempting to evoke unchangeable rights, but by the ques- ton whether the proposed government tal taking of property would serve the common good. Our answer always is, of course, that it would not serve the common good insofar as it would inn pair initiative, without which, in our opinion, the world would not so well get on.
 With the bourbon who holds that property right-unchangeable in all its aspects-is not discussable in any re- spect, there is no chance for under standing There is chance for clash"
 MT. Woollen suggested that bankers abandon their zeal for oppressive leg islation against those whom they op- pose.
 The present position of the bankers, the speaker said, reveals how plagued we are by the obsession that all good things con be had from legislation.
 For expediency, for the sake of not driving underground the agitation that otherwise would spend itself in the air, we had berrer, Tn times of pe@>>e, not be too eager in putting ou, influence on the side of jailing the talker before he actually starts to do something" said Mir Woollen.

Jeffery, who charges the la bor organizations with having en- gagged in a conspiracy the last four years to bring about his ruin socially and financially.
