company union" Judge Dickinson
ruled that federal courts have no pow
er to enforce decisions of the railroad
labor board. The federation system
will appeal the decision.
One result of the trial that is of
value to the organized workers is the
statement by a Pennsylvania railroad
official that the expenses of company
union" representatives are paid by
the railroad when they are negotiat-
ing wage rates.
Robert v. Massey, general manager
of the eastern region of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, made this acknowledge
ment under cross-examination by the
shop mems attorney.
This is proof that the company
union" is a good investment for the
railroad as the management has saved
$15,000,000, less the few hundred dol
lars it expends on company union"
representatives while they are housed
in fine hotels and smoke good cigars
during a wage conference.

TAX EXEMPT BONDS
WILL Be CONTINUED

Washington, Feb. 19.-By a vote of
247 to 1873 the house rejected a pro-
posed constitutional amendment that
would prohibit states, counties, munic-
qualities and other units issuing tax
exempt securities.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
favored the plan. It was savagely at
tackled by Congressman Pou of North
Carolina, who opposed the claim that
money invested in tax-exempt bonds
is lost to industry, and that this
causes unemployment. Mr.. Pou re-
minded his colleagues that money Sc
cured through the sale of these bonds
is placed in circulation by building
school houses, roads, water works,
sewers and other social enterprises.
Other opponents showed that the
would place the credit of
minor units of government under con-
troll of the federal government. This
was stamped a "monstrous PROPOSE
tion," because it meant more central
ization of government.
"a bankers proposition" was an
other charge that opponents used
most effectively. At the present time
there are approximately $4,000, 0O0,-
900 of these tax-exempt bonds in ex-
istence. If the issuance of tax-exempt

CARPENTERS FORM
LADIES' AUXILIARY
Continued from Page ohe)

While locals may pass their own by
laws, they may in no wise conflict
with the organic law, the constitution
al provisions of the bylaws of the
United Brotherhood
In many cities throughout this
state, various locals have enjoyed the
social and beneficial as we'll as moral
support through the auxiliaries these
noble organizations of genuine help
ers have given. The ladies have al
ways been loyal as individuals and
can accomplish more through orga-
nization.
The auxiliaries usually have dele
gates in the Union Label League or
in the Card and Label League, from
which delegates are elected to the
State Federation of Labor. When the
other crafts auxiliaries become fact
there is full united front that ad-
vances for the goal of general better
ment in civic, local or national affairs
that will come through fuller en-
lightenment and education, with ar
eye ever alert to the questions of the
day, helping to maintain cleanliness
in everything and fairness to all.

BUSINESS OPPOSED
TO COMPENSATION

Washington, Feb. 19.-Business in
terests in this city and throughout the
nation are urging congressman to OPP
pose the Fitzgerald compensation bill,
which prohibits private concerns from
writing compensation to injured work
ers in the District of Columbia.
Business men favor the Underhill
bill, which permits private concerns
writing the insurance. These advo-
Gates declare that Congress has no
right to injure a private business

and misery of helpless workers.

ANOTHER ICE AGE?

Donald E. MacMilan, Arctic eX- plorer, who went 10 the North Pole with Peary and since that time has been making regular trips to the frozen north, tells the world that the northern coast of Greenland appears to be sinking, that many former igloos there are already submerged, that there is no doubt of a southward movement of the glaciers, and that another ice age may be coming to harass humanity.
 This is not a pleasant outlook, It would take long time for another ice age to protrude itself upon the northern bulk of the hemisphere; but once here. it likewise would re- main a long time and be slow in re- ceding. Meantime mankind would have to trek further south-but where to?
 A look at the map shows avail able land diminishing as the tropics are reached except for the African continent, For millions of people to migrate southward would require large tracts of land in the tropics, at least. Lack of land except for Africa indicates there will be a terrible time when this MacMiuan prophecy comes truc-unlcss we turn into 1 eskimo manner of living and do our joyriding on top of the ice.
 MacMiIan says he is not prepar- ed 10 say definitely whether this new 1 ice age is really on the way, Nature may be only soaring us, There is not enough scientific data at hand to l warrant the prediction, he ayers There is no explanation at hand as yet for the fact that Greenland once had a temperate climate. or that a . temperate climate once covered the entire Arctic. At that time the ! north pole might have been right ii i Connecticut; but we can't prove il ! and neither can anyone else. Mac. Milan says he found semi-tropica fossilized flora, including Lhs euca i lyptus, in Greenland, which indicates
 that frigid land once had a climate 1 rivaHng that of southern California

 As Officer With Union

Friedrichshafen, Sept. 23--In con- nection with the proposed flight to America of the ZR-3, 1t is recalled here that the late Count Zeppelin. inventor of the dirigible, made his first balloon ascension in the United States. ~
 This was during the Civil War when Count Zeppelin was an officer in the Union army. The count never became an American citizen and re- turned to his native land in 1888. It was dusing the Franco-P -Prussian war that he conceived the idea of the dirigible, inspired by the progress made by the French in aeronautics.

CANADIAN SALMON
 RUN IS HEAVY
British Columbian Rivers Have
 Many Fish

Victoria, B, C., Sept. 23.-The sal mon run in British Columbia rivers is the largest since the record of 1919, according to reports received by Hon. William Sloan, provincial commissioner of fisheries. Gamer ies along the Fraser, Skeena and Naas rivers are working day and night shifts in an effort to take care of the catch.
 The catch Of sockeye. MT. Sloan said, will be the heaviest in years. The marked increase in quantity this year will mean greater prosperity for the salmon industry.
 The total value of the fisheries production of Canada was S42, D. 545 last year, according>to the an- nual report or an increase in value of $765,335 over 1922.
 The amount of capital represented in fishing vessels, boats, nets, trap% piers, and wharvec employed in catching and landing the fish in 1923 was $23,G45,316. The number of men employed in these operations was 53,517.

AL SMITH BACK IN RUNNING

Gov. Al Smith of New York has signified his intention of acceding to the wishe of his neumerous friends and again will be candidate for the goyernorship of New York. Chair man Butler of the Republican na- tional committee is justly agitated.
 It appears that Gov. Smith has been prevailed upon to help the ticket Of Davis and Bryan by making another run in his native state. His presence on the ticket is said to make it certain that the Democrats will carry the Empire state in the national elections.
 The decision of Gov. Smith, there fore, has national significance. The state of New York may not decide the election, but it will do more than any other state to decidS it. The party that can carry it has an ad- vantage which is hard to overcome. With three parties in the field, one of them certain to make serious in roads in Republican strength in the northwest, it can almost with safety be predicted that without carrying New York state President Coolidge cannot attain majority in the elec- toral college. His chances in this connection were slim even when New York was yielded to him by the expert political forecasters; and with New York's 45 votes virtually out of Republican calculations Republican prospects take on a decidedly fainter hue.
 By merely running for reelection as governor-and being reelected- may Smith assure 5 electoral votes for Davis and Bryan in a state of which it is a truism that a party must carry it to win nine times out of ten. If Gov. Smith by his action throws New York for Davis, Coolidge loses the heart of the east-hiS stronghold.
 The election is getting more in. teresting-and compicated-every day. With the solid south certainty and New York and some othel northern states strong probability Davis is nearer a majority in tho electoral college than the president It will take a Coolidge swing in prac' tically all the remaining doubtful states to elect him, and only Chair man Butler thinks this is probable.

HILL HAS A PARTY

Representative John Philip Hill of Maryland wants congressman ito vote as they think" There is no doubt about Hills vote and his favorite drink. He votes "wet" and Is regarded as a leader of the anti yolstead vocalizers in congress.
 Rep. Hill gave a party in the yard of his Baltimore home last Sunday. More than @ thousand guests at tended. Sixty-five gallons of 2.75 per cent cider and two kegs of near beer were consumed. Nobody reported how near to the real thing the beer was in the kegs. Prohibition agents failed to appear, although Rep. Hill saw to 1t that his party was well advertised.
 In a speech which the embattled exponent of personal liberty deliver sd, he was quoted as saying; we don't care about 2.75 cider. What we want is 2.75 beer. But your presence here will show Prohibition Commis- sioner Haynes that 2.75 cider and beer are not intoxicating.
 It appears that the Baltimore po- lice were sympathetic; no raid ma terialized. Prohibition agents also were deaf, dumb and blind.
 It is hoped the congressman is a stout defender of law and order at least in theory.
