B. & M. INSPECTOR INDICTED; HE MADE
 PERJURED REPORT
Chief Pack Holds Him Responsible for Serious Accident in Hoosac
 Tunnel

On February 14, 1924, an arch tube was blown out of the throat sheet of a Boston & Maine locomotive while i'll the Hoosac tunnel. Engineer Frank Lyons of Troy, N. Y, and Fireman M. P. Smith of Greenfield, Mass, who were in charge of the locomotive were seriously scalded and burned.
 The accident occurred while the locomotive and while the steam 1oco- motive was being hauled with throttle closed
 A. c. Pack, chief inspector of the bureau of locomotive inspection of the Interstate Commerce Commission has submitted a printed report on the ac- cident
 He charges that the tube which blew it's shop at Mechanicsville, N. Y, on December 24, 1923. At that time the B. & M. shops were filled with non union mechanics.
 On January Y, 1924, hte locomotive was inspected by the company's inspec- tors, Robert Addison and H. Pend1, and they filed written report under oath with the Interstate Commerce Com mission setting forth that all defects had been repaired.
 Chief Inspector Pack states that In- spector Addison did wilfu1ly subscribe and swear that the arch tube was in good condition when he did not believe the same to be true" Addison has been indicted for per jury in the L. s. district court for the northern district of New York. If found guilty he may be fined $2,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years.
 Chief Inspector Pack also states that information is being prepared and will be presented to the proper United States district attorney against the B. x M. for using the locomotive while in an unsafe and defective condition.
 Commenting on the case, Inspector Pack says:
 "The seriousness of subscribing to false statements in the reports of in spection is evidenced by the fact that men have been killed and seriously in jured due to false information and the failure to make proper repairs at the proper time, whether ma1icious1y or otherwise"

REDUCE APARTMENTS IS CALL TO NATIONS OF
 BRITISH LABOR PARTY

London Aug. 16-The Labor gov ernment is determined to call an in ternational conference to bring about a reduction in armaments
 This was made clear during a debate in Parliament last week. C. c. Ann mon, parliamentary secretary to the Admiralty, stated that Premier Mac Donald and his associates had been so absorbed in the reparations conference and in the consideration of certain pressing domestic problems that 1t had been impossible for them to move i'll the matter of international disarna ment.
 They had not lost sight of the issue, however, and just as soon as the decks were cleared they would submit dehn- ite propositions to the leading nations of the world.

 Agreed Upon"
Wall Street Journal Prints Story of Meeting in New York to
 Forestall Congress.

New York, Aug 1o.-The Wall Street Journal is authority for the statement that during the past week series of conferences have been held in this city with the object of bringing about a consolidation of all the leading trunk line railroads north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi, excluding the New England roads.
 With the possible exception of min or details it may be said that three of the four groups participating i'll these conferences have agreed upon plan, according to the Journal. "The fourth interest has so far found itself unable to accept certain features thereof
 The conferences have been attended by representatives of the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, and the Van Sweringens of Cleveland. The latter are planning on consolidat- ing the Nickel Plate, Erie, Chesapeake & Ohio, Pere Marquette and the Vir- ginian.
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sion has formulated a tentative plan for the consolidation of all railroads in comparatively small number of groups. There has been a great deal of talk in Congress about enact1ng legislation compelling the roads to con- solidate.
 The interests which control the roads are opposed to compulsory consollda- tion They prefer to work out the problem in a way which will be satis- factory to the great bankers, accord ing to reports current i'll Wall street, expect gorgeous speculation" to result from the consolidation plans which they have in mind.
 The railroads fear, however, that un- less they do something voluntarily Ill the comparatively near future Congress may be induced to act.

SUCCESSFUL TRADE UNIONISM
 MEANS CONTINUOUS WORK
By JOHN P. FREY, Editor, International Molders' Journal

The story is told of two farmers owning adjoining farms As the years went by, one of them harvested larger and much more profitable crops than the other. The less successful one spent much of his time finding fault with the weather, the political party in power, Wall Street, and everybody in general He believed that only fools became far mers, and also that his neighbor had purchased fertile soil, whereas the land on his own farm was poor and value less. If he only had the soil which his neighbor owned, then he might be able to accumulate money instead of contin- ually paying interest on mortgage.
 The difference between the methods of the two men was that the unsuccess- full one took everything he could out of the soil without putting something back Ill return. He was unwilling to go to the expense and the labor of putting fertilizers into the soil He was trying to get all that he could out of his land and put nothing into it.
 We find the same condition which ex- isted between these two farmers among trade unions, the members of some con- tinually complain that their organiza- ton IS no good: that 1t does nothing for them; they blame their officers :, they feel that their Constitution is un-
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-08-16

satisfactory, and that the general policy of the organization is all wrong. They see other local unions securing higher wages, better shop conditions and es- tablishing more friendly relations with employers. They do not credit these more successful unions with having es- tablished these conditions through their own efforts and good judgment, but imagine that they were merely more for tunate, and that the better conditions which they enjoyed were purely mat ter of good luck.
 But the trade union movement like farming or like business, does not give good returns unless something worth while is put into it. The trade union movement can accomplish but very lit tie for men who look upon it as some thing which entities them to get all they can out of 1t without putting anything back in return. The successful local unions in any organization are always those who are continually putting some thing into their organization, something more than dues, for dues of themselves can accomplish but little.
 There Is no royal road to success. There IS no political, industrial, or so- cial system which will give something for nothing. We can't eat our cake and keep it; we can't get something from

By The Associated Press.
 London, Dec. 15.-Sympathetic obituaries, accompanied by pictures, in all the morning newspapers today testify to the widespread respect which Samuel Gompers commanded here. Typical of one set of opinions regarding the American labor chief is the Conservative Morning Posts description of him as "a real labor leader, big in mind. generous of heart" and its admiration of his pa. triotism and opposition to socialism. 1 Admitting that conditions in America are very different from those in Britain the Herald says: Every year, however, the similarity of their problem to ours becomes noticeable. and this will change the character of their labor movement and it's leader. x x x,
 Capitalism in America can pay a decent living wage to small mum ber of workers. and these support it without consideration the vast num- bers who are wage slaves. When the latter use troir power. American la bor will follow the European labor

NEW LONDON WILL BE PLACE CHOSEN
Harvard Will Take Eclipse Pic.
 lures There

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. l5. The Harvard college observatory Is to es- tablish four temporary photographic stations along the lane Of totality of the eclipse of the sun on January 2i, 1t Is announced by Prof. Harlow Shapeley. Two of these stations vii be at Buffalo, N. r., and on the Is land Of Nantucket. The other two probably will be at Poughkeepsie, x. r., and near New London, Conn, The observers In each place will have portable apparatus.
 The forthcoming eclipse is await ed by some astronomers with interest directed especially on it's bearing on !he Einstein theory of relativity. Showing photographs of the total eclipse Of the sun in Australia in l922, recently measured by those in- terested In applying the Eirwtetn theory, Dr. Shapley in lecture yes terday which he amplified today said that these observations had proved 10 the satisfaction Of observers in general that Einsteln's contentious were correct.
 The head of the Harvard observa- tory said he understood the govern ment would assign both the dirigt- bles Shenandoah and Los Angeles to the duty of astronomical stations above the clouds for the eclipse of January 24, possibly with airplanes assigned also. There was some con- aderation, he added, of using the newly discovered method of shooting electrified sand from these air cruis- CTS to dissipate any clouds that might interfere with perfect photo graphs or observations.

MARY pICKTORD AT LYCEUM

Charming Mark PickfOrd in her most elaborate production, Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall, is the big movie attraction at the Lyceum the ater the first three days of this week, although there are the usual come- dies and news reels. AS the Nixen- ish little miss of the Elizabethan period who dcfics family and con- yention 10 win the man whom she loves, Miss Pickford gives as re- markabIe a portrayal of romantic acting as one would care to see.
 On the same bill is a bang-up good vaudeville offering. The fea- turc act is a top notchcr, The Tyson Revue. This is a musical number specializing in piano hits, as well as songs and some good dances. Mur- ray and Irwin sing and joke, bit and give some clever Whistling stunts. George Hunter is a black faced comedian with a wealth of humorous stories and some clever aerial gymnastic fcats are put across by the Australian Delsons.
