U. S. LABOR BEST
PAID IN WORLD
Receives Twice as Much as
British Cousin.

Washington.-Amer labor Is to-
day the best paid in the world, the
National Industrial Conference board
reported, following survey of condi-
tions prevailing both with respect to
wages paid and the purchasing power
of such wages. Philadelphia was
chosen as the typical American in
dustrial city for the purposes of COM
parison with leading cities in other
countries.
Statisticians compiled a table of
real earnings, and give each city an
index number. Philadelphia is given
an index number of 100 as par, the
second most prosperous city proving
to be Sydney, Australia, with 20 as it's
index number, and Ottawa, Canada.
third, with SO for its index number.
The results were made public at the
conference board headquarters, 247
Park avenue.
Figures accepted by the board were
those prepared at the international la
Dor office at Geneva. The results are
graphically shown in a detailed chart.
A supplementary study of the condi-
tiOn Of industry proves that in the
United States prosperity rules, as it
does in wage-earning powers.
Twice AZ Much As British.
The American wage Garner, on the
basis of what his pay will buy for him,
Is paid more than twice asswell as his
British colleague in London, nearly
three times as we'll as the wage earn
er in Amsterdam, Holland; more than
| three times better than the worker in
Berlin, and nearly five times as much
as the industrial worker in Italy.
The cities, with their corresponding
index numbers, are: Philadelphia.
| 100; Sydney, 10; Ottawa. 50; London,
rs; Copenhagen, Al; Oslo Christi

That stability continues to be the

Industrial conditions of the United

of living figures just issued by the
board, with little change from the pre-
ceding months figures. Clothing re-

Government Finds Land
1t Didn't Know 1t Owned

hington.-DiscOvery of tract
of public land in the state of Wiscon-
sin, which the government did not
know 1t owned, has just been made by
surveyors of the general land office,
the Interior department announced re-
Gently.
1t consists of approximately 415
acres located in Bayfield, county along
an inland lake. The finding of the
tract came about when it was ascer-
tained that the. original survey made
in 1859 described this land as me-
andered lake.
A supplementary plat just filed at
the general land office instead of show
ing this tract of 4l5 acres to be under
water records it as being real land
along the shores Of an inland lake.
In accordance with the general laws
of the government the tract, errOne-
ously omitted from the original sur
vey, will be thrown open to home
stead entry with former ex-service
men of the World war having a pref
erence beginning July 10.
The general land Office stated that
any person claiming settlement rights
or other preferred rights on the land
should assert them between June 25
and July "a. Persons claiming prefer
ence right to purchase must also file
their application within 90 days of the
filing of the plat. Information already
ON file in the general land office indi-
Gates that a large portion of the lands
involved will be claimed under home
stead settlement rights and the act Of
February 27, 1925.

LEE HIGHWAY Isl
To Be BLOCK
IN WIDTH
Association at Arlington
Frames Plans for Boulevard
Arteries to the West

ARLINGTON COUNTY, Oct. g.
A S00-fOot right of way for the pro-
posed Lee highway was announced
To-Day through its president, T. Ed
gar Reed of the chamber of COM
fnerce of Herndon. according to a
statement made last night by Doc
tor Samuel L. johnson, managing
director of the Lee Highway Asso-
citation.
The route, according to Doctor
Johnson viii provide a boulevard
drive not equaled by any in this
section. 1t viii pass from the Vir-
ginia approach Of the bridge through
RCsslyn, following the Palisades to
Great Falls, the0ce through Bull
Run mountains at Thoroughfare
Gap, starting with the Lee high
way at Ben Verne, sixty-five miles
west Of washington and continuing
on to the Shenandoah national
park.
The only distractions to still an
other line which would run along
TAYLOR avenue in Clarendon, Gar
rison road and the Memorial drive
to Falls Church, according to Doc
tor johnson, is a number OF lots
along the proposed drive which in
clude a number Of private resi-
dences.
A right of way through these
particular lands, together with sites
suited for parks, was offered by
owners of the several hundred acres
through which the proposed south
ern route would pass.
In the meantime. Doctor johnson
said. those interested in the Taylor
avenue route, are rallying their
forces, in an effort to be able to
form pool with which to make
purchases, thereby providing the
right of way through Clarendon and
Ballston.
That persons residing in or
around the nearby vicinity OF Ar
Hngton county are apprized of the
route Of the proposed boulevard was
emphatically denied by Doctor john
son last night, who set at rest per-
sfstent runnors to the effect that
certain parties are endeavoring to
sell real estate in Arlington county
on the strength Of possessing posi-
tive information regarding the
route.
Any attempts to direct move
ments tending to arouse specula-
ton of the proposed developments,
according to Doctor Johnson, will
only begin false boom.

Unregulated canal competition has al
ready taken from the Middle West much
business, which can be regained by this terri
torv only if the railroads are allowed to
make rates to compete with the canal.
The Central States and their railroads
have enjoyed share in this Pacific Coast
business from the beginning of the operation
of transcontinental lines, and this tonnage
was large factor justifying their being built
Under the present law the Interstate Com
merce Commission is authorized to permit
the railroads to equalize canal rates, and ap-
plication for this is pending. Until ! y the
railroads had this permission. Then, due to
the war, canal competition ceased and the
Commission withdrew the permission. Now
the ships are back in greater numbers than
ever and have taken practically all comPetl-
tive traffic, while the railroads have lacked
the permission to equalize rates.
The Gooding bill, which mas passed the
Senate and is being considered by the House,
would Withdraw from the Interstate COM
merce Commission authority to grant any
such permission 1t will not help intermoun-
tain states, because steamship rates between
the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts will continue
lower than those of the railroads; and it will
not add to the Coast competition or inter

This westbound business on which the
railroads desire to compete comprises highly

Service of the public was stressed
by F. A. Nathan of Tucson, who show
ed the wholesalers essential functions
in the economic cycle; by H. T.
Brooke of Prescott, who told of the
retailers problem; by George H. Todd
Of PhoenX, appearing as a manufac-
turer; and by DR.. John E. Bacon of

groups.
The Importance of the mining in
dustry to the state, and the aid it is
giving other industries by diverting
its huge purchasing power to Arizona
channels, were described by Robert E.
Tally, general manager Of the United
Verde Copper company, at Jerome, and
T. H. O'Brien, general manager of the
Inspiration Consolidated Copper COM
pany, both of whom mentioned the
value derived from creating better
understanding among industries. The
mining industry will continue to be
great factor in Arizona's prosperity,
they said, but conditions in the in
dustry make it necessary to keep pro-
duction costs to fair level.
Improved conditions of Arizona
banks, and the banks service in as
sisting progress, were described by
Carl W. Gibson of Phoenix.
Two of the effective talks of the day
were by women. Mrs. George F. Kit
of Tucson, vice president Of the Ari-
zona Federation of Women's clubs,
scored with the crowd when she told
how Arizona women, whose household
expenditures represent the biggest
purchasing power in the state, are
helping other industries by trading at
home, and then urged that Arizona
products be more extensively adver-
tised, so that they can be known
throughout all sections. Mrs. H. c..
Wood of Phoenix former chief of the
home economics division of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, told how women
can help increase the family income
by expert household management.
A third woman presided over the
afternoon session of the convention,
Mrs. H. T. Southworth of Prescott,
president of the Arizona department
of the American Legion auxiliary. DR..
C. H. Marvin, president of the Univer-
silly VI AI1ZOud, was CldlIL L1dH VI Cue

Inspector Asks Obedience
To City's Sanitary Laws

City Inspector A. E. Cooper wishes
to remind the citizens of Winslow
that with the approach of warm
weather and "f1y time," extra pre-
cautions should be taken to see that
rubbish and refuse are kept from all
property in the city limits.
Nearly every one in town complies
with the garbage can ordinance, but
newcomers, and very few older
residents seem loath to obey the law.
a few do not posses cans, few
more do not keep their yards clean,
many more don't attend to their al
1eys, and a number don't remove gar
bage as often as the law requires.
There are some who do understand
that empty cans are considered as
garbage, that they breed flies, and
that flies spread disease. The health
officers and inspectors are going to
keep energetically on the job of MAX
ing this clean city, and would rath-
er ask cooperation of the people than
to coerce them into doing their duty.

largely via the canal The Atlantic Sea-
board pays only the low canal rates The
Middle West producer must pay either the
additional rail charge to the Atlantic Coast
or the charge for direct shipment by rail. If
the railroads are allowed to compete, not
only will the Middle West producer be en-
abled to compete on more even terms (Which
Of itself will promotH .he development of the
Central States), but also the railroads will
be able to fill out their trains better, to 6e-
velop their facilities, employ more men and
purchase more supplies-all to the advan-
tage of this great Western territory.
The Western railroads feel that the Good
ing bill would deprive them Of needed busi-
ness without doing anybody any good. ex-
cept owners Of steamship lines operating
through the canal; also that it would take
away traffic in which they have participated
under the Interstate Commerce Commission
authority since its creation in 867. 1t seems
most unfair to change the law at this time,
in view Of all these conditions.
When the Gooding bill was before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce,
the Interstate Commerce Commission, with
but one of its eleven members dissenting
sent the Committee an urgent letter oPpos-
ing the bill. 1t summed up the matter most
clearly with a concluding statement, show
ing that the interests Of the Central West are
involved quite as seriously as ours as fol-
lows:
The effect Of such provision upon COM
merce.l industry and agriculture, would be
revolutionary, and In many cases disastrous
to carriers, shippers and communities"
