IS MISREPRESENTED

HAMILTON, Ontario, Feb. 3d.
Dominion newspapers are giving
rough treatment to a report issued
by the Smithsonian institution at
Washington, D. c., that the publicly
owned hydro-electric power of this
province has a deficit of more than
$19,00O,000.
The report was written by Samuel
S. Wyer, associate in mineral technol-
ogy of the Smithsonian. The hydro
electric commission has issued a de-
nial of Mr.. Wyer's claims. The COM
mission points out that its books, GER
titled by public accountants, show
the commission has collected from its
customers and municipal partners ap-
proximately $22,5O0,0O0 in excess of
the cost Of serving these customers.
The Hamilton Spectator, published
in this city, editOrially declares that
the Wyer report embraces a little
bit Of everything ever written by
private corporation propagandists

WEST VIRGINIA MINERS
DEMAND JACKSONVILLE
SCALE TO SUSTAIN LIFE

By international Labor News Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 26.-
Striking miners in West Virginia are
not demanding higher wages to be
captious. They are demanding the
Jacksonville wage scale in order to
live.
The international union has figures
showing exactly what pay miner
must have in order to meet the end of
the year clear of debt. A miner at
Longacre, w. Va, who keeps a fam
lily of five recently submitted his bud
get for year.
Taking the 1917 wage scale basis,
which some operators are offering,
and working 313 days out of the 365,
which is unusual even in West Vir-
ginia, at the rate of A cents a ton
for leaders, the average miner would
load ten tons day, or $3.50 tons in
BIB days, which would total $1,377.20
gross. From this deduct his overhead
expense of 1874 for house rent, gas
and electric light bills, doctor, hos
pital and burial fund, carbide, blast
ing powder, etc, etc.
In addition there must also be de-
Quoted 1898 for food, clothing, shoes,
school supplies and all other inciden-
tails not including union dues and
lodge dues. This sum is computed on
basis of allowing "A cents a day for
each of the five members of the fam
lily for every expense. Making these
deductions leaves the miner with a
profit on his years work of $4,000,
but on the improbable assumption
that the mine works 313 days out of
the year.
In 1923 the mine at Longacre, w.
Va, for example, worked 227 days out
of the year. The miners wages COM
puted on the above figures left the
worker in debt $65 at the end of the
year, and this with a slightly lower
overhead due to the use of less blast
ing powder and other mine necessi-
ties.
The Kanawha & Hooking Coal
Company is paying slightly more
than the 1917 scale. The mine mo-
torman is paid at the rate of IS a
day, the highest paid man in the mine,
and he barely gets by, his gross
earnings being $1,135. The common
laborer is paid $4.44 a day by the
Hooking company.
Working 227 days out of the year
he would earn 81 ,O07S1 for that time
at the rate even better than the 1917
scale. His expenses as noted above
for mine accessories, house rent, feed
ing and clothing his family and other

CHURCHMEN AND LABOR
SHOULD Be FR|ENDLIER

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. 26.-
Complete sympathy with the move
ment for closer understanding and
friendlier feeling between churches
and labor unions was expressed by
James M. Lynch, president of the In
ternational Typographical Union, in
a statement issued here today.
"The modern industrial struggle
is well deserving of serious consid-
GRAFTON by every institution interest
ed in ethics and human happiness"
said Mr.. Lynch. at has ever been
source of disappointment to Amer
lean labor leaders that so many
clergymen have chosen to ignore the
case of the working man or, worse
still, to applaud the social program
of the expIoiter. Fortunately pow
erful men in the churches are coming
to give their attention to the labor
movement and consequently to SYM
pathize with the aspirations of Or
ganized labor.
Labor is quick to reciprOcate this
interest. In New York we find Bish-
op William T. Manning expressing
from his pulpit appreciation of aid

against the great public ownership
undertaking and, as Sir Adam Beck
points out, it is a regrettable betray-
al Of trust reposed by the man who
founded the Smithsonian institution
for the purpose of increasing and diff
fusing knowledge among men.
''The people of Ontario know that
they are being provided with the
cheapest electric power service in the
world. Mr.. Wyer of the Smithson-
ian institution also knows this to be
a fact, and, knowing it, his effort to
prove otherwise is so clumsy as to
make himself ridiculous"

RAIL BILL IS VICTIM
OF FALSE PROPAGANDA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The
Howell Barley bill has been the
subject of more misinformation and
more deliberate misrepresentation
than any bill which has been before
congress in a generation, declared
Congressman Barley, in announcing
that the friends of the bill find it i'm
possible to secure favorable consider
alton at this session.
Railroad employees support this
measure. 1t is intended to sup
plant the railroad labor board. The
principle of the bill will again be
urged in the next congress, Mr..
Barley declared.
"Those who have opposed it." he
continued, shave systematically mis-
represented it, either through ignor-
ance or design, by claiming that it
left the public entirely out of consid-
Grafton in the formation of the
boards to decide on questions of
wages, when, as a matter of fact,
the only board created by the bill to
deal with wages in any respect is
made up wholly from the public, and
all mem who have any interest on
either side are thereby disqualified
from membership"
Every effort to secure confer
ence with railroad managers of this
bill has failed, said Congressman
Barley.
"In all fairness, I wish to say that
some of the railroad presidents were
anxious to cooperate, and did their
best to make these conferences pos
sible and of such an extent as to
represent the railroad executives
generally. But a majority of their
colleagues rejected the idea.
Il indulge the hope that at the
next session of congress we may
succeed in passing a law that will
cure the manifest and glaring in
CAPABILITIES contained in the present
law and which will recognize and
protect the legitimate interests of
the roads, the men and the public"

THEATERS
DENNY HAS
AMUSING ROLE AGAIN

Rufus Billups, Jr., had attained p
little more than his majority before
he took any real exercise-and then
that exercise was vicarious, for it
was taken while Rufus was dream
ing that he was a faun and ives
gambling over the greensward IN
company Of beauteous nymph.
Then Rufus awoke and he could
really feel the tingling of muscle
and flesh consequent upon his ex-
traordinary unusual physical activi-
ty; also, as his dream came back to
him he realized that the beauteous
nymph was his beautiful nurse.
What resulted from this dream OF
Rufus is the beginning of the end of
the hilariously humorous story told
by "Oh, Doctor!", Universal-Jewel,
starring Reginald Denny and being
shown now at the DIR Theatre. And
the perturbation of the dream, with
Denny as the faun anc beautiful Mary
Aston as the nymph is one of the
funniest scenes in this funniest Of
stories ever to come from the brain
of Harry Leon Wilson, who wrote
The Saturday Evening Post serial Of
the same name from which the screen
play was adapted.
The part played by Denny is that
of a young man who has become a
confirmed hypochondriac by reason
of the coddling he received since he
was taken from the incubator into
which he was thrust a few minutes
after coming into this world. 1t was
not until he came to visit his aunt
that anyone ever questioned his
invalidism. Then it is that the nurse
makes him into a daredevil. n

offered by organized labor in raising
funds for completion of the great
cathedral. In Toledo, o., the Coun-
ell of Churches has invited labor
leaders to address meetings of the
Ministers Union. Out in Bakers
field, Calf, Bishop L. Sanford,
preaching at st. Panul's Episcopal
church, deprecates the 'disgraceful'
manner in which the Better American
Federation attacks the trade union
movement.
"Fear is blamed by Bishop Sanford
for the unrest and unhappiness in
our economic and social life. Each
week, the bishop told his hearers,
weekly letters reaches his desk from
the 1abor-hating' organization, in
Weighing against combination of
workers in their own defense. Such
bitter words, so full of hatred said
the bishop, could only create the
trouble against which they protest.
"With exceptional shrewdness the
bishop has laid his finger upon the
seat of the social malady. Men live
and work together in happiness only
when there is a mutual sense of Sc
curity, and when good will rules.
There is fighting spirit in men that
precludes peace while men suffer in
justice at the hands of their fellows.
The capitalist who hopes to crush
labor into humble acceptance of want
and defeated aspirants is only heap
ing fuel on the fires of combativeness.
This type of capitalist is usually
kept by his personal concerns from
gaining an understanding of phil
osophy, psychology or any other
branch of knowledge bearing upon
the task he undertakes. It is proper
that preachers and all others whose
training and understanding fit them
for the job, should show the way.
"And it is gratifying to forward
looking labor leaders, who would
like to believe in the erudition and
sincerity of clergymen in general,
to learn that many preachers are at
tempting to bring reason to bear on
the capital-labor controversy.
"The Rev. Oren H. Baker, pastor
of Baptist church in Morgantown,
w. Va, has arisen as champion of
labor's right to organize. In his
state some organizations have de-
manded that labor organizers be
driven from the state. The church
is bound to condemn these proposals
of certain business interests, this
minister declares. Let it be remem-
bered that individuals cannot main
tain harmony with God until they
have succeeded in effecting proper adj
justments to one another
"Some historians credit Moses with
being the first labor leader because
Moses arose in behalf of his enslaved
people when he saw an Egyptian boss
beat Jewish workman. Moses slew
the boss and stood forth from that
time as the champion of a down
trodden and suffering race. The Old
Testament is concerned almost who'll
ly with the endeavors of common
people to maintain their freedom
against the tyranny of the labor ex-
ploiter. AS for the New Testament,
certainly the exponent of wealth
neutrality-suspicious. can find little
comfort in the words of Christ, who
came on earth to relieve the suffer-
ing of the many, not to assist fav-
ored or fortunate few in monopol-
izing life's blessings"

items total $1,O25.55, which would
leave him in debt at the end of the
year $72.15.
These figures are actual and show
what the miners of West Virginia
have to contend with in order to live.
On the other hand, coal prices at the
mines show that most operators net
better than 81 ton for their coal
on the basis of the Jacksonville
agreement, and of course much more
at the 1917 wage scale.
officials of the United Mine Work
ers have undisputed evidence that a
conspiracy exists to exterminate the
union and the tactics now employed in
West Virginia and Kentucky are a
part of it.

MRS. C. w. CHUBBUCK
PASSES FROM AMONG. US

Monday Afternoon at three o'clock
at her late residence, 903 Fifth street,
the last earthly tribute was paid to
Grace Wales Chubbuck, who passed
away at st. Mary's hospital Saturday
morning, September 10.
Her late home was filled with those
who had been her friends for many
years-those who deeply feel her
passing from among US. The services
were conducted by the Rev. P. w.
Erickson of the Presbyterian church,
of which Mrs. Chubbuck was a mem
Der, and though a stranger in our
midst and to the family, DR.. Erick-
sons Bible readings and remarks
were so beautiful and appropriate
that the touching life lesson set forth
on this occasion will be long remem-
bered, not only by the immediate
family, but by all those present. Ac-
companied by Miss Wanda Hopp,
Mrs. Frank Boettcher and Mrs. w.
H. Flieth sang adrian" and "He
Knows 1t Alp most sympathetically.
The services were an artistic tribute
and lesson.
Mrs. Chubbuck was born at River
Falls, Wis, Of sterling parentage
which manifested itself in the thor
oughness with which she carried out
anything she undertook, her decided
opinions in matters of character and
business, her intense patrotism-not
only to country, but to home and
friends.
She was delicate child and frail
woman, though she endeavored to do
her part in the community in which
she lived. After graduating grom the
state normal school at River Falls in
1900, she taught school for three
years, two of which were in Wausau,
where she met DR.. C. w. Chubbucll
whom she married October Z, 1903.
History tells us of the faithfulness
Of friends, of the fidelity of wives and
Of husbands, but here lies inscribed
upon the heart of wife the most un-
firing devotion, the most patient
thoughtfulness with which any wo-
man could be blessed, the memory of
which should be a community ideal
for all time.
Mrs. Chubbuck taught Sunday
school class of young girls for eight
years, upon each of whom she seri-
ously sought to impress herself; she
sang in the choir as long as she was
equal to the task, and her love of
company and her social instincts
would have kept open house for her
