police force which he left because the pay was too small.
 The power of Boss Cahil1 is indeed great for he has had his deputy se- lected for one of the best assignments on the force. That being in the cor poration counsers office, much to the astonishment of policemen who stuck to their jobs through thick and thin. It is presumed that Registrations Ca hill sought this assignment for his deputy to provide Registrar Cahi1l with a bodyguard to protect him from outraged citizen. The cor poration counseps office being adja- cent to that of the general registrar in the city hall annex, is indeed signif- cant In time of peace prepare for war.

described the Senators who exposed Do heny and Sinclair as "vultures." Congressman Will Wood of Indiana chairman of the Republican icongres- sional campaign committee and recog- nized representative of the steel trust definitely outlined the scheme for "hob- bling" Congress in his speech which he delivered in the House on Tuesday April 1st.
 We have gone wild upon the sub ject of investigations" said Wood.
 There are only two or three things that warrant either house of Congress ill apropriating money forinvestiga- tions
 "One of them is with reference to the membership of either house. One is relative to member violating the rules or courtesies of the house, and the other is with respect to impeachment
 "When you get outside of these three you have no, right to appropriate money and the time that has been wasted by this Congress is a shame and a dis grace to the nation"
 If the Supreme Court will only 'fhobble" Congress to the extent indica- ted by Congressman Wood crooked business will feel safe.
 It believes it has nothing to fear from investigations conducted by any other branch of government.
 d~, bled'' the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice has dem onstrated that it is the friend and pro- tector of the grafters. Keep your eye on the Sinclair case It is one of the most important lega' proceedings in the history of thi: country.

THE PALACE.

It is fragrant bouquet of the most luxuriant and beautiful blossoms pluck ed from the garden of vaudeville that the Palace extends to New Haven thea Ire goers as an Easter Week greeting One of the most beautiful of these blooms is "Anatol's Affairs of 11o24,, presented by Anatol Friedland and his bevy of newly discoered talent in five stril<ingly co1orful scenes. Anatol Fried land in one of big vaudeville's maj attractions and a prime favorite with Palace audiences.
 The several young ladies appearing in the cast with MT. Friedland are pro ducts his own and Ned Weyburn's coaching and it can be readily seen how we'll they have been schooled. The five scenes into which the act has been d: vded cover with pleasing and compre- hensive completeness the various clas- ses of modern music and dancing.
 Probably gone forever is the corner emporium known as the saloon but it passing furnishes a valuable comedy theme for Bob Robinson and Renee Pierce in offering their skit "No More Saloons" In this act the saloon be- comes a filling station for coda pop made deliciously by favoring dashes of songs and >mirth. Waiting" is the latest of this actors offerings and the act that he with his company present as Palace feature for the first three days of Easter week. Waiting is a laugh filled vaudeville idea with many tuneful song embellishments. To ex- ploit their proficiency as singing and dancing comedians Walter Laddie and Rose Garden use a vehicle which the cayy "The Chauffeur and the Maid" ," They indulge in a lot of laughing gos- sip which is new and original.
 Intelligent canines clever1y trained usually succeede in providing satisfact- ory entertainment to both old and young. Gordon's Dogs are rated as among the best of this class of audevil1e offer ings. This is the act selected to start the fine show for Monday, Tuesday 9 Wednesday.
 That magnetic little star Viola Dana heads select cast of Metro players in "'The Social Code" the featured film production with the bill of vaude- vile previously mentioned.

Britain Praises Labor Work Here
 To Aid Children

That Ill maintaining and improving American standards of living, organ ized labor is doing great work for children, is indicated by report made by Dr. Milligan, health officer of Reading, England.
 Dr. Milligan's report gives com parison between the heights and weights of Reading children exam ined in the last three years and those of American children of similar ages.
 In every case, the doctor reports, advantage in both height and weight rests with American children and su- periority becomes more emphasized in the older groups. It would appear, Dr. Milhgan says, that those circum- stances which assist growth in children are more favorable in America than in England.
 Undoubtedly the higher wage scales of American workers and their conse- quent higher standards of living are responsible for the superiority of American children. As organized la bor has gained and held these i'm proved standards, it can justly claim credit for making America a better land for children than are the nations of the Old World.

CROOKED BUSINESS
 WANTS COURTS TO
 HOBBLE' CONGRESS
Sinclair Case to Be Used to Secure
 Limit On Congressional Inquiries.

Washington, April 1o-The courts are to be asked to "hobble" Congress. Crooked business wants to abolish con- gressional investigations. They have proven extremely annoying. Once start ed there is no way of telling where they will end.
 It is expected an issue will be made in the case of Henry F. Sinclair, oil magnate indicted for contempt becausr he refused to answer questions pro- pounded by the Walsh committee.
 Sinclair has employed a small army of distinguished lawyers. They will be assisted by the legal representatives of number of corporations and individu- als who object to having their business secrets paraded before the public.
 The courts will be asked to define the jurisdiction of Congress. That is where the "hobbling" process will begin.
 The case will eventually reach the Supreme Court and the friends of Sin clair, ct. al, are confident that Chiei Justice Taft and the majority of his associates will find that Congress has been exceeding its authority
 It must be remembered that Chiet Justice Taft, while President lof the United States, had trying experience with Congressional dnestigators. The Ballinger inquiry which wrecked his administration was conducted by con- with Congressional investigators. The never have reached the public if Con gress had not constituted itself a grand jury to examine those charged with con- spring to loot the public domain.
 In order to create the proper at mosphere" for such decision, the courl- try is being flooded with propaganda de nouncing the congressional investiga- tions.

RAILROADS CANNOT BAR THEIR SHOPMEN
 FROM JOINING UNION
Question Comes Before Labor Board First Time, and Four Machinists
 Are Restored.

Chicago, April 1o-It is a violation of the transportation act for a carrier to require an employe to agree not to belong to a labor organization as condition of obtainig wrk and chance to live. For the first time the Rail road Labor Board has rendered de- cision on this direct question:, and 1t is in favor of the employees. At least the regular labor organizations have gained moral victory" for many de- cisions rendered by the board are completely ignored by the carriers.
 The decision, which is No. 2505, came on a dispute filed by the Railway Elm ployes' Department against the Nash vile, Chattanooga & St. Louis rail road. The carrier discharged four ma chinists employed in its shops at Nash vile because they had joined the local lodge of the International Association of Machinists.
 R. C. O'Leary, William c. De Pierri, E. J. Farley and Leo J. Caillonetti were discharged July 9, 1923, having returned to work when the strike ter minated on May 1, 1923. At the hear ing before the board, representatives of the carrier admitted that the men had been discharged for belonging to federated shop crafts union, after hav- ing been warned "that no man could be employed who was member of xJ 11I@ man could continue in the employ of the carrier who should join them."
 The carrier contended that it had the right to impose on a striker as a preliminary condition to re-employ- ment an obligation that he would not again become member of the Feder- ated Shop Crafts,N "the organization which precipitated and conducted the strike" The carrier further contend ed that the discharged men took an obligation when they re-entered the service not to join the Machinists' union, but this was denied by the plaintiffs.
 In its opinion the board held that "the real and serious question at issue in this case and one that has not heretofore been presented to the board, IS whether or not a carrier has the right to require prospective employe to surrender in advance his future freedom of action as a citizen and en1- ploye in the exercise of his rights un- der the law"
 The board then sets forth the pro- vision of the transportation act which guarantees to every railway emp1oye the right to participate in the selec- ton of his representatives in negotia~ tions, and the right of collective bar gaining and to protect him from the possibility of arbitrary action upon the part of the carriers in connection with wages and working conditions. It then assetrs that this provision would be nullifed if the carrier when employ ing man would require him to pledge his future. action as to affiliation or non-affiliation with labor organiza- tions. The board then says:
 "Employes must, under the law, be left free to choose the labor organiza- tion with which they will affiliate"
 The board orders that the four ma chinists shall be reinstated with sen- iority rights unimpaired, but without pay for lost time.

For Gallup-St. Johns Road

A proposal to put the Gallup ST.
Johns road on the seven per cent sys-
tenn was discussed at the joint meet
ing of the New Mexico and Arizona
good roads meeting held at Gallup

taken at the meeting except that it
was decided to have Arizona authori-
ties make formal request on the
New Mexico Highway commission to
put the road from Gallup to the Ari-
zona state line, towards st. Johns,
via Zuni, ON the seven per cent sys-

]. A. Greaves Will Run
For County Supervisor

The republicans in convention at
Holbrook Tuesday, placed the name
of J. A. Greaves on the ticket for
county supervisor from the Winslow
district, to oppose C. G. Payne, demo
cratic nominee.
Mr.. Greaves has lived in Winslow
since 1901. He came here from New
Mexico where he was located a short
time. He was born in the north of
Ireland and came to this country
while still a young man, and the
brogue is worn quite thin in spots.
He is an active citizen and business
man, having been in the retail shoe
business since coming here.
Mr.. Greaves is a member of the
Elks lodge and Rotary club, and is
keenly interested in all municipal,
county and state matters. If elected
to the board of county supervisors,
this district will feel we'll represented
as he is qualified in every way to
fill the office creditably, and would
conscientiously devote the necessary
time to it's duties.
