Boston, Nov. 29.-A college educa- tion is worth $72,o0O to its possessor, according to a report made public by Dean Everett w. Lord of the Boston University. The estimate is based on a study of the earning capacity of col 1ege graduates. The cash value of a high school education is placed at $330O0.
 The report gives the average maxi mum yearly income of the untrained man as $1 200; that of the high choo1 gsraduate, $6,OOO- The total earnings of each of the three types, up to the age of 60, are placed at $45,000, $78,0O0 and $150O00, respectively. While the untrained man at the age of 50 begins to drop toward dependence, the col 1ege man reaches his maximum earn ing capacity at 60.

HUMP YARDS ARE MOST HAZARDOUS
 TO THE BRAKEMEN
Movement to Remove Some of Their Perilxs Difficult to Fill
 the Jobs.

The deadly hump" yard can be shorn of its perils by the adoption of proper appliances Incidentally this change will throw lot of men out of employment.
 One of the most hazardous and strenuous jobs in connection with rail- road operation IS that of the car-rider in hump" yards who rides cars down from the hump" and stops them by hand brakes when they are switched into their proper tracks.
 Something of the perilous nature of this work can be gleaned from the ac- cident statistics of the Interstate Com meree Commission
 Injuries to yard brakemen and help CTS outnumber those to any other class of train and engine employees For 1923 the casualties for these classes of employees are given as 282 killed and 10,613 injured.
 Of these Y were killed and 1,628 in jured in operating hand brakes and 25 killed and 1929 injured in getting on and off cars, two operations particular 1 1y the function of the hump yard switchman.
 According to the Railway Age, leng- thy experimentation in the mechanical control of cars switched over hump 
 has proved successful. In the Gibson yard of the Indiana Harbor Belt an automatic control sys-
 tenn has been installed whereby cars are braked by pressure on the sides of Ithe car wheel rims, manipulated by a
 man in a tower.
 It is claimed by the Railway Age, that the labor of oo men and payroll

of s085 a day is saved by this innova-

of 985 day is saved by this innova- tion. The number of cars handled is increased by 84 per cent. per man.
 In commenting on the human factor involved the Railway Age says.
 "The night hump riders job is the most hazardous and least desirable po- sition about the yards and consequent ly the one on which new men break in. Obviously the difficulty of getting men of desirable qualifications to enter rail road service at freight car yards Is di- rectly proportional to the unattractive- ness of this work"
 \ Another reason not given by the Railway Age IS that the men engaged in this highly hazardous occupation do not receive such wage as the char acter of the job would amply justify They risk life and limb for barely sufficient to sustain life.

PRINTERS COLLECT AND SPEND LOTS OF MONEY;
 ALSO INCREASE WAGES


 Investments in national, state, county and city bonds by the Inter national Typographical Union total $4,432, ,502.05, says Secretary-Treas- urer John w. Hays in a financial report just issued.
 Receipts of the organization from 1890 to May, 1924, totaled more than 42,000,000, and the disbursements more than $37,0O0OOO, of which $15,- 100000 was expended in the 44-hour week strike in book and job offices.
 About $3,OOO,OO0 has been expend- ed on the erection and maintenance fthe Union Printers Home at Col orado Springs, Colo. The union has paid out in mortuary benefits $4,- 354,OOO.
 Since January 1, 1908, the wage increases of printers in the United States and Canada under jurisdic- ton of the I. T. U. have amounted to $1 ,040.053,792, due to the work of the union in raising wage stan- dards.

WILL PLACE VIEWS OF WORKERS UP TO
 THE GOVERNMENT
Canadian Labor Congress Wants Dis putes Act Amended to
 Allow Picketinz.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec 6-Unemployment and a number of other important ques- tions will be considered by the execu- tive council of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada at its approaching meeting in Ottawa.
 No date has yet been fixed for the annual interview with the Dominion government but Tom Moorey president of the congress, advises me that the Executive Council hopes to place the workers views before the government earlier this year than in the past, thus enabling the government to give more consideration to them
 According to decision of the last convention of the Congress requests will again be made to have the criminal code amended making peaceful pickeing le- gal in the Dominion, thus afording to Canadian workers the same protection in this regard as that enjoyed by the British workers. Injunctions in indus trial disputes are becoming more and more prevalent Tn Canada and their use will be practically eliminated by the le- galizing of peaceful picketing.
 Amendments to the Industrial Dis putes Investigation Act of 1907, which are particularly desired by all the rail- road labor organizations, will again be presented. These have been passed at two successive sessions of the House of Commons but on both occasions the non-elective Senate defeated the desire of the railroad workers, by adding new amendments which the House of Com mons refused to accept.
 Hon. Senator c. D. Robertson, vice president of the Order of Railroad Tel egraphers, and the only labor nepresen- ative in the Senate, made gallant fight for the bill, as originally introduced, but without success.
 However, efforts to nulEfy the act appeal is now before the privy council. Upon its decision will very largely de- pend the attitude of the Congress and the Associated Railroad Labor organi- zations.
 No action has yet been taken by the government on the question of allowing labor's views on the eight-hour day 10 be placed before the Supreme Court of Canada, where the question of 1egisla- tive jurisdiction was referred by parlia- ment for an opinion.
 The executive council is composed of Tom Moore, president; P. M. Draper, secretary-treasurer; James Simpson, vice president, and Bert Merson, vice president
