TRADE UNION MEETS
Donald Richberg Describes ''What
Is Wrong With System of
" Railroad Operations"
MRS. SWARTZ PRESIDES
SWARTZ PRESIDES
Jeanette Rankin Advises Members
on Matter of Minorities.

~ brief summary OF what is
wrong with the present system of
operating the railroads can be
summed up in one sentence. They
are operated by business men with
2 view to making profit instead of
ny professional men who receive
only so much compensation for
service rendered." declared Donald
Richberg, attorney for the railroad
protherhoods, i'll AN address before
The Washington branch of the Ma
tional Womans Trade Union at 27O1
-th street northwest last night.
The meeting was held in celebration
of the sixth anniversary of the
founding of the Washington branch
Of the union
Mr.. Richberg charged that the rail
~oads have inflated the value of their
stocks in order to have the public
believe the roads are making a small
er percentage Of profit than they
really are showing.
Doubts Government Ownership.
Rev. Dir. J. W. OGrady of the
Catholic charities said the present
system of operating the railroads
was not perfect, but that he doubted
If the government had as yet reached
a degree of perfection sufficient to
make government ownership of the
railroads a safe proposition.
Miss Jeanette Rankin, former mem
Der of Congress from Montana, in a
brief address said that woman voters
are still much in the minority in
experience and voting and said that
II was important that they learn all
of the rules governing the minority
in order that they might be able TO
make their influence bear the most
weight
Discusses Restricted Immigration.
Edward McGrady. Legislative repre-
sentative of the American Federation
of Labor told of the policies of re-
strictcd immigration and said that
the So-called captains of industry
were contemplating filing in with
women the gaps made by a shortage
of foreign labor.
GreetiE-a were delivered by Mrs.
Maud Swarrz. president of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union. while
brief addresses were delivered by
Miss Alice Henry and Mrs. Raymond
Robins, president of the International
Congress of Women. Mrs. Rose
Yates Forester. president Of the
local branch of the union, presided.

NEW WAY
TO TAKE OFF FAT

/ did not have to go through

weakening diets, neither did wear
painful garments. I was fortunate
enough to be given an old-fash-
ioned formula by q country doctor,
and with it 1 brought back my fig

formula for the benefit of all fat
neople, and it has now been Eer-
fected by expert chemists and put
up into convenient soap form. 1t
is the most up to date, safest
and economical way to reduce.
All YOU need to do is to go to
Peoples Stores or any good drug
store, ask for DR.. Folt's Soap
for reducing, use it as you would
any other good soap, only leaving
a good lather remain few min
lltes night and morning on special
parts you want to reduce Of
course, DR.. Foit's Soap is Guaran-
teed n absolutely harmless. With its
use YOU should notice a great i'm
proyement in tho .sappearan of
the skin and a steady and gradual
decrease in your weight. 1T is re-
markable how DR.. Folts Soap will
do away with double chins, large
ankles, bust and hips. Changes in

In the bust and hips in most re-
markably short time are daily re-
ported by people who have become

LA CASA DE MuNoz RIVERA

JUNO de 1924.--A los pocos dias
de haber pisado terra borinquefia
de haber aspirado un olor de Pc
troleo yanki, un amigo me invite
su pueblo y por coincidencia feliz
para mi, Ell pueblo de mi amigo fue
el mismo que sinti6 por vez primera
ell bramido de leon de Luis Munoz
Rivera. Yo no conocfa la actuaci6n
de este patricio en- ell movimiento po-
litico de Puerto Rico, nj conocia tam
'poco la joya de su verso lirico nj
habia escuchado la nota de clarfn de
su verso epico. Pero mi amigo me
habfa contado en- pocas horas con
entusiasmo espartano la vida poll
tica de Munoz Rivera v habia ofre-
cido a mi espiritu aventurero de
todo 10 que vale una infnidad de
versos de MuToz Rivera. Puedo de-
cir que sentf una gran simpatia por
el patricio antillano.
Llegue al pueblecito de Barranqui-
tas lleno de noche v de montaiias.
A la manana siguiente mi amigo me
llevo la casa de Mufoz Rivera que
fuera la Belen de Puerto Rico 81
Munoz Rivera hubiera dispuesto de
mauseres y cartuchos.

amigo me decfa EMBELLISHMENTS ese

pues; este cuadro es una ofrenda
de las jibaras, las letras estan he
] chas con los cabellos de elias; esta
es la cabulla conque bajaron ell fe-
retro al sepuicro; y asi, con esa
calma religiosa de los honbres que
sienten orgullo por sus glorias, mi
amigo me fue explicando todo. to-
| do...
Cuando mi amigo termin6 de pre-
sentarme todas las cosas que ALI
Sc guardian religiosamente le die:
lastima que la casa este tan sucia,
ipor que es este? Mi amigo Sc reco-
gio en- un silencio cristiano.
Como no me convenia tratar este
punto de abandono miserable solo me
concrete a contemplar la figura del

WILLYS OVERLAND
REDUCES STOCKS,
PROSPECTS GOOD

With retail sales in excess of
$4,000 ears for the month of Sep

stocks are down to normal basis

creasing, according to statement
issued by John n WHY'S, president

"'Willvs- Overland has been very
successful in reducing both dealer
stocks and inventory in the past so
days. Dealer stocks have been re-

that the early months gave evidence
of developing, we curtailed iour man.

immediatel to get our dealer and
factor organization in a healthy con
dition to go forward when the re-
tarded period was at an end We
are most gratified with the success
full way these plans have worked
out, - his statement continues.
"We have invested a great deal
of money in our sales and engineer
ing departments during the past
yedr and have incurred large costs
as have most manufacturers, in as
sisting to carry cars for the dealers
during the winter months in antici-
patton of an excess demand that did
not develop in the spring. But all
of this is now behind and orders
are increasing daily. We have re-
duced our funded debt $1,000,0O0
and have no bank indebtedness.
'The reduced profits per car re-
sulting from lower prices and other
expenditures made necessary by the
unbalanced condition of stocks in
