Filteration Is Urged
in Place of Chlorine
to Purify Lake Water

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Dec. 24-Fil-
ration, rather than chlorine treat
ment, was urged by George H. Fen
keu of Detroit, at the opening session
Of the second annual meeting of the
Lake Michigan sanitation congress,
who predicted that within a few years
all towns Within 100 miles of the lake
would be getting their water supply
from IT.
The new Indiana state regulation
prohibiting the dumping of raw or un-
treated sewage into the lake was ex-
planned by the Indiana representative.
Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago,
he said, have undertaken a joint plan
for sewage disposal and federal en-
gfneers and chemists have been at
work for six months making tests in
a laboratory at Calumet Park.

Seeks Hand-Out
BY HELENE WooLF.

Ten million dollars were spent last
year to "counteract" Bolshevik propa-
ganda in the United States by the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars Of the United
States, according to their statement.
This is the leading statement of the
Chicago representative, M. Nicholson,
who is engaged in selling" Ameri-
canism. He also maintains that 5000
speakers were sent out during the
year to combat these doctrines of
discomfort, disloyalty End contempt for
property rights"
With a laudable love for the good
old methods of ancient fourth of July
celebrations, the organization is trad
ing upon the literary accessories to
the business of patriotism in America,
and is distributing every month, to its
customers" free copies of the con-
stitution, the declaration of independ-
ence, Washington's farewell address,
the message to Garcia, "AmericanIsm"
by Roosevelt, what America Means"
by Franklin X. Lane, and other
selected" works.

circular issued by them, with religious
disregard Of what its right hand does.
On the right-hand side appears the
statemen: I'VE ask your support"
So noble" an organization as this
must, however, have some means of
support, altho its organizers, Theodore
Roosevelt and Leonard Wood were so
shortsighted as to ban donations. So
the organization is getting out book,
America" which contains an eye
witness account of everything, ex> lud-
ing its creation, which ever concerned
these United States. It's price is to be
$125 to the uninitiated, but IL the
purchaser will not pay that he can
get it for $3.50.

the children, altho If adults want t,
bite on it themselves they are well

BIDDEFORD Mill
STRIKERS FIGHT
SPEED-UP PLAN
Boss Tries to Force 200
Loom System

LAWRENCE, Mass, Dec. 24.-The
Pepperell Mill strikers OF Biddeford,
Maine, held successful tag day in
this city Saturday.
The united front committee of tex
tile workers Of Lawrence had previ-
ously offered them the use of their
headquarters at 206 Essex Street. The
day was cold and the Is girl collectors
were glad to have this place to come
and get warmed up.
The only union in the Pepperell
Mills is the American Federation of
Textile Operatives. 1t has at least 500
members, most of whom are weavers
or loomfxers but an attempt is to be
made to organize the other workers
of the plant.
The strike is a result of Agent
Whitehead wanting to experiment
with 100 looms. Since the first OF
January 1925 the six weavers had
been experimenting for the company
on 100 looms. On Dec. LIST Agent
Whitehead wanted to raise this a.
mount to 200 and then strike re.
suited. A week ago he lowered this
amount to 154.
The workers have decided to stay
out until all experimenting is done
away with, which IL put into effect
would thru at least one third OF the
workers out OF work.

SEES
FASCISM' STALL
NOW LOOMING
Bloody Revolution A.
ter MuSSOlini
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24--Astonish-
ment and anger were registered in the
state department upon discovery that
the publicity director for the Ameri-
can Bankers association had issued to
all the press agencies and correspond
ents in the capital a statement indi-
eating that the downfall Of fascism In
Italy and the coming of bloody revo-
lutionary movement awaits only the
death OF Mussolini.
This statement is made in the form
OF an announcement Of an article in
the current issue of the American
Bankers Associations Official Bank
Journal, on actual conditions found by
an investigator who has spent three
weeks in secret inquiries in Italy.
May Hurt Morgan.
Coming as 1t does at the moment
when Morgan and company are asking
American investors to buy the 800
100000 of z per cent Italian govern
ment bonds which the Morgan house
is handling at about 10 per cent rake
off, this action by the publicity ONCE
of the nationwide trade union OF bank
ers creates a mystery as deep as the
disgust of the pro-fascist gentlemen
who assist Mr.. Kellogg in upholding
Mussolini's hands.
The bankers investigator remarks
that 'It is impossible to make out
from Italian newspapers what is go
ing on. The fascist censorship is Sc
verer than the cEarist-Russian. No
Italian who values his security any
longer dares to publish unfavorable
views"
One of the most prominent Italians,
who holds that fascism must collapse
because it is militarist, while the
Italian nation is not militarist, pre-
dicted privately that the crisis would
not come for several years. On the
other hand, Farinacci, secretary gen
eral of the fascist party, declared the
test would come in 1925.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Dec
Notwithstanding to figures fur
nished by the New Zealand govern
ment bureau of statistics, overcrowded
dwellings numbering 23,O55, affecting
164,S9S persons, exist in New Zealand.
The statistician's report states that
"one person in every seven is living

1923. Altho the carriers total re-
ceipts for the 1928 period are about
100000 below 1923. operating ex-
pense have ben reduced about sS,000,-
900. The percentage Of expenditure to
revenue has fallen from 1853 per cent
to 1908 per cent.
Three-Year Agreement.
The bonus scheme is a feature of
the Swear agreement signed with the
four operating brotherhoods effective
March 1, 1924. 1t provides an in
crease of approximately per cent in
wages, q minimum standard rate of
pay for regularly assigned passenger
service employees for each day that
service is performed and a bonus out
Of any savings In operating expenses
resulting from their increased produc-
tivity.
To get the bonus the employees were
expected to save the amount of their
6 per cent increase by keeping the
cost Of operating trains down to the
same percent of total operating ex-
pense that prevailed before the agree
ment. II they succeeded in 1924, they
would get bonus in 1925 of liz per
cent of their 1926 wages. If they sue
ceeded in 1925. they would get in
1926 bonus OF 3 per cent of 1926
wages. The bonus system was later
extended to train dispatchers.
Pays to BE Generous"
The transportation expenses Of the
Southern, In which are grouped the
expenses affected by the bonus agree
ment, fell from 36.6 per cent of op-
Grating revenues in 1923 to 1876 per
cent in 1924 and to 1873 per cent in
1925. In 1928 the absorbed 4S.6 per
cent of total operating expense while
in 1925 the percentage was only Ala
per cent.
AS result OF this saving effected
by the employees the Southern will
this year make profit of Is per cent
on its common stock. In 1924 it
showed profit of IL per cent and in
1928 10 per cent.

The case dates back to September,
1928 when majority OF the roads
clerical employees voted for represen-
tation by the brotherhood. Within
four months Of that election the CON-
pany union petitioned for new vote
and altho the railroad denied the po-
sition and the matter went to the
board, 1t is apparent that the manage
ment was simply covering its tracks.
The board decided that no new cleo
ton was warranted.
On similar petition from the COM

road went ahead with an election over
the brotherhood's protest and without
waiting for decision from the board.
