THE EARTH'S CRUST
is WEAK IN SPOTS
MOST UNSTABLE PART IS IN
NORTHWEST PART OF PA
CIFIC, SAYS SCIENTIST.

EUGENE, Ore-There are several
especially weak places in the crust Of
the earth, said Dr. Warren d. Smith,
professor OF the University of Oregon
here, in discussion of earthquakes
"One of them" he explained, ''is
the Straits of Messina, between Sicily
and Italy, where in 1908 a very de-
structive earthquake took place. An
other is the junction of the Pacific
arc with the Indo- Malayan arc. This
is in the region of Java and the Phil
ippines. Some exceedingly devastating
earthquakes have taken place in those
regions. Another place is the Chilean
coast and still another is along the
San Andreas Rift in California.
perhaps the most unstable part of
the earth's crust today is in the north
west part of the Pacific, bordering the
great Tuscarora Deep. A broad belt
of folded rocks includes the entire
archipelago of Japan, the Philippines
and New Guinea in the western Pa
cihc, and this belt runs right around
the Pacific ocean. This is the first
major feature of the Pacific.
East OF this region is the great
trough known as the Tuscarora Deep.
To the south Of this, just east of the
Philippines, is a still greater deep,
which is a continuation of the one
east of Japan With a depth OF slight
ly over six miles, this is the deepest
place known in any ocean. To the
east of this trough is a submerged
mountain range, in fact several, but
one in particular which apparently is
rising and some day will form a new
festoon of islands paralleling Japan
and the Philippines.
According to the latest investiga-
tons in the Pacific great thrusts, due
to accommodations in the outer shell
of the earth, are taking place in the
direction OF the Asiatic continent"

FISH IN REELFoOT LAKE

that in but two was the court unan-
imous.
In these cases, it is pointed out, the
desires of the people have been set
aside by majority of the court, the
supreme court assuming the power,
by it's own will, to defeat the desires
of the representatives of the people.
The report also discusses the su-
preme courts control over state legis-
lation, the political nature of its acts,
the action of state courts under par
allel circumstances, the action of for
eign countries as to review of legis-
lative acts, the manner in which con-
stitutional questions may arise, the
limiting of judicial power to unanim-
ity or to a percentage of judges, and
an analysis of the argument in favor
of maintaining the judicial power now
exercised
The remedies heretofore proposed
are discussed at length and various
propositions which have been SUBJ
mitted to congress are analyzed. Sug-
gested remedies for the evils which
the report demonstrates to exist re-
ceive careful attention.

JUDICIAL CONTROL
Studied By Jurist Submit.
ted to A. F. of L.

Washington.-At the request of
President Gompers, Jackson H. Raj
ston has prepared and submitted for
the use of the A. F. of l.. revised
report upon Judicial Control Over
Legislatures as to Constitutional
Questions" in which he brings down
to date the whole subject matter. His
first report was submitted about five
years ago.
The author is attorney for the A.
F. of L. He is publicist and law
yer Of international repute.
In this study the history of judicial
control over legislation is gone into
from the earliest period. The position
Of John Marshall, chief justice of the
United States supreme court when the
nation was born, is discussed at
length. It was Marshall's decision in
the Marbury case which started the
control of legislation by the courts.
Mr.. Ralston points out that before
Marshall went on the bench he had
denied the existence Of any power in
the supreme court to control congress.
The gradual growth of this power is
shown. There was but one such case
in the first so years of the history of
the supreme court. Congress has been
overruled 10 times within the last
FIVE year. The doubtful character of
these cases is indicated by the fact

Big Business Makes Daring
Demand For Low-wage Labor;
Would Peonize Workers

that the government will enforce by
threats of deportation
With this proposal in force, work
ers now here would also be enslaved
in short order by employers, who
would use their new power on every
and all occasions.
At first glance it seems inconceiv-
able that even an alleged American
would propose this plan. On second
thought, however, the advocates Of
this plan are logical.
Their peonizing idea is in accord
with their labor injunction and their
judicial agents who issue these writs.
The labor injunction is the most
revolutionary attack ever conceived
against democratic institutions 1t
sets aside government by law and
places it in the hands of a usurper,
who makes his law, interprets his
law. and enforces his law.
Men who indorse this czarism are
logical when they favor the shipment
Of aliens under contract to this coun-
try to break strikes, and then have
the government enforce the contracts.
The peonizers not only want sup
ply of strikebreakers, but they want
Uncle Sam himself to be chief strike
breaker.
The peonizing idea of these en-
ployers is in line with their belief that
labor is a commodity and that this
commodity" should be held to its
task by law.
The one idea of these employers is
to have cheap, submissive working
class whom they may order at will
To 'big business" the immigration
issue is a cheap labor issue. There
is not a national ideal nor a patriotic
impulse in its entire program on this
question.
If advocates of immigration restric-
tion keep in mind the never-ending
hunt of ''big business" for cheap la
Dor, the immigration controversy win
be simplifed.

WITHOUT Limit
Are Profits of Big Corpora
tiOns Reported in Wall
Street
Cleaning For Last Year
Greatest in History of
Capitalist Combines

New York.-With the new wear
comes the annual story of sensational
earnings by great industrial forma-
tions and combinations of capitalists.
Banks are also declaring large divi-
dends, all of which are being quietly
referred to in the lingo of the fnan-
cial district, that the populace may
not become too curious and investi-
gate values that are created by work
ers employed in industries where low
wages, long hours and poor condi-
tions are the rule.
Some profits are SO large they stag
ger the imagination. The net gains
of Sears-Roebuck mail order house
has reached such proportions that this
corporation will increase it's contribu-
ton to its employees savings and profit
sharing fund, scheme whereby these
workers will abjure unionism, forget
low wages and stake an interest in the
business. This corporation has S8,-
100000 of preferred stock, at par
value of 500 share. During the
past eight years earnings on this stock
totaled $920.46 share, while the cor
poration retained $428.35 a share for
its surplus account. In other words,
during the past eight years for every
500 of stock the profit in excess Of
the regular per cent interest has
been $1,348.21. Of this amount the
stockholders received per cent in
terest and an additional $920.46.
Profits have also flown in golden
stream into the Golfers of such con-
Germs as the Studebaker automobile
corporation, International harvester,
American locomotive, Allis- Chalmers,
American woolen, Corn products, r.
j. Reynolds tobacco, Baldwin locomo-
tive and May department stores.
Profits of the latter concerns for the
last eight years totaled S54761 for

each share of stock having q par
value of $100. This is outside the
regular z per cent interest. In addi-
ton there was an undivided profit Of
S33792 per share. In a group of
leading industrial corporations, the
smallest profits the past eight years
were International harvester and AL
disclaimers, though the former pro-
fits reached the astounding figure Of
$14S.30 for each share Of stock having
a par value of $100. This was exclu-
sive of regular dividends and did not
include $68.20 of profits on every
share that was set aside for surplus.
Profits of Allis- Chalmers was S143.48
per share and $49.76 per share in sur
plus account, besides interest.
Banks are sharing in this general
prosperity. The First National Bank
of this city has just declared an extra
dividend of 20 per cent, in addition TO
the regular quarterly dividend Of 10
per cent, or 40 pc rcent year. The
extra dividend brings the total divi-
dends for the year to so per cent, or
$6,000,000. This stock is now selling
for SLABS share.
The above is indicative Of profits en-
joyed in select industrial and banking
circles which are controlled by those
who insist that an excess profits tar

tive"

A flexible" immigration policy
was urged before the house immigra-
tion committee by James A. Emery,
attorney for employers anti-union as
sociation.
The attorney said employers should
be permitted to go abroad, make con-
tracts with aliens and bring them
into this country. If they did not
live up to their contract on arrival
they should be deported.
This astonishing statement was
made by man employed by "big
business
Never before have these profit
mongers and labor crushers been so
daring or so callous.
Never before have they so frankly
demanded that workers be peonized
and that the government aid them
in this degrading process.
These are the forces that condemn
trade unionism-cant the inorganic
ed workers now realize why?
Behind the pretense and patriotic
prattle Of these employers is their
longing for cheap labor-and plenty
of it.
If they could drug the public con-
science they would have convict ships
running to and from Europe and Asia
manned by galley slaves.
In 1914 their attempt to corrupt
public opinion through their National
Liberal Restriction immigration
League was exposed by President
Gompers.
Steel, coal and iron interests, coke
companies, steamship companies and
other combinations of capitalists paid
the expenses of various racial groups
who journeyed to Washington to op-
pose the Burnett immigration restric-
ton bill
This is the same power that period
ically demands that labor be handcuff-
ed to their employment that strikes
be outlawed.
Now they demand aliens to come.
