Motor Truck Lines
To Link Up Nation

New York-Special built highways
for motor truck lines that will link
up the nation was the sensational
prophecy by Major Elihu Church,
transportation engineer of the Port
of New York, in an address to Amer
lean port authorities.
81 expect that motor truck trunk
lines will be built between cities, with
banked curves and grade crossings
eliminated, with grades cut down as
they are on railroads, so that gears
will not be shifted so often" said
Major Church.
"This will be done within ten years,
and then over these specially con-
structed roads we will see fast trac~
tors hauling long trains of trailers.
They will be controlled by air brakes
on the tractor, just as freight train
is controlled by the engineer in the
cab. When the trunk line comes to a
city it will go around it, and if the
city is large enough to justify it,
there will be a belt line around it, and
the trailers will be dropped off and
handled by smaller tractor"
Major Church said these roads will
be toll roads and will be built by
companies organized for that pur-
pose, just as companies were organ
lied to build railroads.

Knights of Columbus Minstrels

Eddie Ewald will stage and direct
the sixteenth annual minstrel enter
tainment of the Knights of Columbus
at the Auditorium theatre on We'd
nesday and Thursday, November 4th
and 5th. This assures a good first
class show, equal to professional tai
ent, as Mr.. Ewald is himself an old
time minstrel man, starting in with
the John w. Vogel troupe in 1912
and having just ended five year
contract with the AL G. Field Min
strel. He guarantees this years pro-
duction to be the best yet, with some
wonderful solo and chorus numbers
and eight fast stepping dancers who
have been members of his school Of
dancing for the past four years. Re-
hearsals are now under way and un-
usual interest is being manifested by
all those who are members of the
cast.

More Gas Used in
American Homes

Atlantic City-Use of gas fol
household purposes has been increas-
ing steadily, according to reports
which will be submitted at the an.
nual convention of the American Gas
Association, to be held here October
II to 16.
The increase in gas house heating
systems has averaged more than
1000 per cent since 1919, statistical
reports show.
Various reports and addresses to
be presented at the October conven-
ton here will point out that steady
expansion of plant and distribution
facilities during 1924 enabled the
manufactured gas companies to con-
meet 444,000 new customers to their
lines, making a total of 10,240,000
customers as of the first of this year
The total population served by man
ufactured gas is more than 50,000,-
900. In the natural gas industry, Ohio
has about one-third of the total num-
Der of consumers.

Price Cutting An
Unsafe Business

New York-"Price cutting is not a
healthy stimulant for business" de-
clared j. E. Tregoe, executive mana
ger of the national association of
credit men.
Nothing appeals to me as more
imprudent, unsafe and unbusiness-
like than the slashing of prices for
the purpose Of making sales. Bus
mess executives should be valiant and
prudent enough to keep this unsafe
feature of business constantly in
mind and to urge their debtors to abb
stain from it. Not many business
operators are foolish enough to skate
on thin ice when they are told the
ice is thin"
Mr.. Tregoe's views are approved by
newspapers that resent a similar posi-
ton by organized workers, who also
declare that wage reductions "is not
healthy stimulant for business"

La Toilette Wins
In Unusual Fight

Madison, Wis.-In the most unus-
ual senatorial election held in this
country, Robert NJ La Toilette, jr.,
was chosen by Wisconsin citizens as
the successor Of the late Senator La
Toilette. He carried every county in
the state but one.
The election was unusual in that
neither of the two old parties had d
candidate on their official ballot. The
non partisan theory is so ingrained IL
the Wisconsin citizenship that the two
old party candidates ran as indepen-
dents, while La Toilette, jr, who Sc
cured the nomination in the primarie.j
on the Republican ticket, was elected
as a progressive Republican on the
regular Republican ticket. In the
primary contest the Democrats did
not secure enough votes to entitle
them to a place on the ballot.
In that contest Roy p. Wilcox,
standing as a regular Republican,
contested with young La Toilette.
When defeated, Wilcox refused to en-
Ter the regular election, and his place
was taken by Edward F. Dithmar, a
former progressive, who ran as the
regular Republican on an independent
ticket.

Human Life Isa
Question of Wages
Says Labor Pres.
John Fitzpatrick, of Chicago
Federation of Labor Gives
Convincing Figures

Chicago-"The question of
wages is the question of human
life said John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Chicago FEEDER
alton of labor, speaking before
the convention of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' union.
The trade unionist quoted govern
ment statistics to prove that high
wages mean longer life, and that or
ganized labor is justified in putting
every ounce Of energy it possesses to
secure higher wages.
"The United States government it.
self tells u.s." said Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
"that if you take a group of wage
workers, say 1000 families, and 1000
babies are born into the 1000 fam
lilies, and the wages of the 1000 fam
lilies are $1,000 a year, 280 of these
babies die
'If you take another 900 families,
and another 1000 babies are born,
and the wages are $4,000, how many
babies in the second thousand do you
suppose die? Sixty-four.
Does that mean anything to US I?
Does it mean anything that we should
put into this struggle all that is in
us, so that our own flesh and blood
may be saved to us? That is the
problem. That is what is in this
movement of organized labor. 1t is
the question as to whether men and
women will fight for their offspring,
whether they will give them chance
to live
"When we come to the eight-hour
day, We find that if a man works
eight hours a day his average life is
increased to Al and AZ years. Sta
tistics of the United States and Eng
land prove these figures.
Does it mean anything in the home
that the breadwinner be saved to his
family, to his wife and the children
for a period of seven years and dur
ing that period of childhood when
they should have the providing AM
protecting arm of the parent? Does
it mean anything that the father be
saved to his family for a period OF
II years?"

Fails to Satisfy
Can't Bury Revolt
In Company Union
Independent Association of Or
ganized Shop Crafts" Is
Formed i'm st. Louis

ST. Louis, Mo.-"YOu can't
bury economic revolt in a COM
pany union coffin," says the
Railroad Telegrapher, in COM
menting on the formation in this
city of a national union" of
company unions"
The new organization is called "in-
dependent association of organized
shop crafts" Headquarters will be
in St. Paul.
"When the delegates arrived" the
Railroad Telegrapher says, "they
were loudly insistent that they had
no intention of organizing anything,
but were just meeting to arrange for
d fight on the Howell -Barkley bill at
the next session of congress. That
may have been what the Pennsylvania
and few other hardboiled manage
ments desired when they got friend
to call the meeting, but when the
gang got together, after taking a
crack at the Howell-Barkley bill
they organized as noted, selected a
permanent chairman, secretary and
three committees, which seemed to be
the real business they had met to do.
According to the delegates, griev-
ances are more important than worry
ing about the Howel-Barkley bill, and
rates of pay are of more importance
than spending $4,000, as they did
in 1924, to defeat this legislation.
"They also intimated that such
matters as seniority, being discharged
without hearing and subjected to
wage cuts without consideration, were
of more Importance than discussing
and fighting something they do not
understand-again proving that you
can't bury economic revolt in a COM
pany union coffin"

POLISHERS STRIKE
Cribben & Sexton Stove Works of
Chicago, an "Open Shop"

Thirty-five members of Local IN
ion No. 6, Metal Polishers, Of Chicago,
went out on strike at the Cribben &
Sexton Stove Works, Wednesday.
September 10Th, 1925. Four major
demands were made-t lrst the recog-
milton of the Metal Polishers Union,
and the right of the Polishers and
Buffers to organize. Second, the
recognition of the Shop Committee.
Third the restoration of the $1.00 per
hour day work. Fourth, the read
justment of the piece work prices.
Three years ago, in the midst of
severe industrial depression, the Crib
ben & Sexton Stove Works took ad-
vantage of the situation to discharge
the union polishers and buffers, and
fill their places with non-union men.
During the three years Of the "open
shop" policy of the Cribben & Sex
ton plant, conditions in the polishing
and bufflng department had reached
a hopelessly deplorable condition,
where those working at the craft had
nothing to hope for The Company
attempted to cut the day rate from
$1.00 an hour, to 85 cents per hour,
and the piece prices were arranged to
suit the convenience of the Company.
The Cribben & Sexton Company
manufactures gas stoves, ranges
and furnaces. They all go under the
name of the Universal" and organ
izeG labor is requested to give this
grievance all the publicity possible
and appeal to their local dealers
handling the Universal" gas stoves,
ranges and furnaces, to write letters
to the firm urging them to adjust
their labor troubles.

President Green referred to the
historic friendship that has ex-
listed between American and Ger
man trade unionists, a frienship,
he declared, that continued even
during the world war. He assur-
ed the visitors that American
trade unionists will make every
effort to make their stay inter
esting and profitable. He COM
plimented German trade unionists
for holding to the trade union
ideal, though their country is sur
rounded by chaos.
He invited the visitors to attend the
convention of the A. F. of L., and as
sured them that they will have every
opportunity to meet representatives
of the various national and interna-
tional unions who will aid them in Sc
curing information relative to their
particular industries and callings.
President Schumann of the German
Traffic union responded in behalf of
his colleagues.
"Our opponents have said so
much about you," said President
Schumann, chat we want to see
the American trade unions at
work. We have not been able to
oppose our opponents, as we have
had no experience. That is why
our committee of study is with
you, and to renew old acquaint-
ances."

APOL .OGIES

Judging from the way he
voted on Monday night, Council
man-at-Large Drumm is opposed
to have an investigation of the
alleged water works muddle
made. Why he kicked on the
proposition is a conundrum.
The last meeting of the City
Dads lacked any life or sparkle
and was as dead as ditchWater
until just before the time for
adjournment, when Sneed Davis
started something by emphatl-
cally stating it looked as il
something was wrong at the mu-
nicipal water plant and saying
he favored the idea of having
five competent disinterested
engineers to witness the final
test of the bunch of old junk
that had been wished on the city
before it is accepted by the
Board of Control or Whoever S
duty it is to accept this 100000
gold brick" He finally embod-
led his idea into a motion, which
after brief discussion, came to
a vote. Eight members were
present at the meeting, and
with the exception Of Drumm, j.
was unanimously adopted. Mr..
Drumm registered an emphatic
No. u
Bill Dover then took the floor
and told 'em what's what in
plain English. Mr.. Dover
thought the big jump in water
rates was a sin and a shame, and
why the people did not get up in
arms over the outrage was some
thing he did not understand; but
he had been told that even a
temporary injunction could not
be obtained, SO he supposed folks
would have to take their medl-
cine.
He claimed that the plant was
not run in an efficient manner,
and that Service Director Fulk
admitted this to be a fact. Mr..
Dover also said it had been stat
ed that when the new pump got
on the job water would be cheap
er. He wanted an investigation,
and upon being informed by the
Solicitor that Council had pow
er to demand a look-in, he made
a motion that an investigation
rs to the efficiency of the water
service be Immediately made. !"
This like Mr.. Davis motion was
unanimously adopted by Coun-
ell, with the exception of MI.
Drumm, who as on the former
occasion registered a kick and
voted an unnistakably loud and
emphatic No.
Judging from the action of
Council in this matter it appears
that if anybody is hidden in the
woodpile "a determined effort
will at least be made to smoke
him out, and find what the
trouble is, if any exists.

In unmistakable terms the un-
ionists informed judicial strike
breakers that their efforts in be-
half of anti-union coal operators
will be fruitless.
"The day will never come when
these anti-union coal owners will
be able to print enough injunc-
tions to drive the miners union
out of West Virginia" said Pres
ident Lewis.
"These injunctions are as leaves OF
grass in the lives of trade unionists,
Said Secretary Treasurer Kennedy.
"Injunctions won't break strikes,
said International Representative
Bittner, who has immediate charge OF
the unionization campaign. "Ask thf
coal owners how many cars Of Goa
these injunctions loaded today"
President Lewis charged the Con
soidation coal company, the Bethle-
hem mines corporation and other coal
owners with abrogating the Jackson
vile agreement.

Minority Stockholders Lose Action
to Prevent Entry Into Big
Merger.
By the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June c7.-Minor-
lty stockholders of the Hooking Val
ley Railroad Co. today lost in their
action to prevent that company from
entering the Van Sweringen-N Nickel
Plate merger when Judge Daniel H.
Sewers sustained a demurrer to the
petition they filed several months ago
to prevent the merger.
The minority stockholders In their
petition maintained that the amalga-
nation of the Hooking Valley with
the new Nickel Plate system, as pro
posed by the Van Sweringens, was
for the purpose of milking" the
Hooking Valley road of its profits for
the assistance of the Erie and other
lean" roads included in the proposed
combination. In this connection they
asserted that the Hooking Valley had
earned p per cent on its capitalization
last year.
Judge Sewers dismissed the petition
mainly on the ground THAT the
relief sought by the stockholders is
within the exclusive jurisdiction of
the Interstate Commerce Comnis-
sion."
