Leader

approaching reception and din

Of Commerce at K. P. hall on
Thursday evening, December
18th, honoring William Green,
president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, the function

in Newark for a long time.
The Trades Assembly at it's
last meeting unanimously ac-
cepted an invitation extended by
the Chamber to attend the din
ner and also to cooperate and
assist in making the affair IA
grand success. r.
This it was decided to do, az
as an evidence that the rie
spirit prevails a committee
reception was named to work
conjunction with a similar cor.
mittee from the Chamber L..
Commerce and assist in extendf \
ing a proper welcome to our dis.
tinguished guest. J. L. Klein,
representative from the Musi-
clans Union, volunteered the
services of a band for the occa-
sion, and his offer was accept
ed.
President Green is an unusu-
ally busy man, his time is fully
occupied, and it is rarely that
city of the size of Newark is
fortunate enough to secure a
visit from him. He is an elo-
.quent and forceful speaker, and
this in addition to the subject
Of his address "Co-operation,"
and the important position
which he occupies in the public
eye, will insure a capacity at
tendance at the dinner. The af
fair will be no special invitation
gathering, it is open to the pub
lie, men and women alike, at
$1.O0 per plate, the speech to
Immediately follow. Tickets
may be obtained from the COM
lnittee in charge. Those desir-
ing seats should not too long de-
lay securing them, as the ca
pacity of the hall is limited.
It is hoped that our congl ess-
man, William M. Morgan, may
be able to be presnet on the oc-
casion and assist in according TO
Mr.. Green the general hearty
and fraternal welcome to which
he is entitled.

Dividends Paid
Dec. lst by the
Lighting Co.
Checks Sent Through the Mail
to Thousands of Local
People

The advantages of safe investing
were again demonstrated to thousands
of residents of this state when The
Ohio Power Company paid the regu-
lar quarterly dividend to its Pre-
ferred Stockholders. The dividends on
che Preferred Stock amount to more
than 6A% on every dollar invested
Because of the nature of the Com
pany's business--that of furnishing
electricity, a vital necessity Of pres
ent-day life-the Preferred Stock is
safe.
The Company must be kept operat-
ing at all times, for without its serv-
ices the cities, towns and villages
serves could not very we'll exist. Con
Sequently it is not so greatly affect
ed by periods of business depression
which at times seriously affect most
other industries. This has been shown
in the record Of its Preferred Stock
With unbrol<en regularity the Com
pany has paid dividends every three
months since the shares were first
issued
Preferred Stock of the Lighting
Company has a number of special adj
vantages. The stock is exenpt from
The Ohio State Personal tax and the
dividends are free from the present
Normal Federal Income Tax. The
stock is fully paid and worcestershire
anG because it is cumulative the Com
pany must pGy the dividends in full
on Preferred Stock before any divi-
dends r!ay be paid on the Common
Stock.

Union Life Insurance Company
Formed by Organized Workers

secure the stock on the partial pay
ment plan. Two-thirds of the board
of directors must be members of un-
ions affiliated to the A. F. of L., and
not more than one director from any
one union is eligible on the board.
Where a stockholder desires to dis
pose of his holdings, the company has
the first option. This provision is in
tended to hold the company in trade
union hands.
The company will write policies
similar to recognized life insurance
companies. Profits will be returned
to policy holders and the machinery of
the unions will be used to secure bus
mess, thus dispensing with expensive
sales agents, which are such a heavy
fixed charge on other companies.
The new venture is the result of
long discussion among trade union
lists. The A. F. of L. has served as
the instrumentality to secure infor-
nation and assist the international
and national unions in arranging the
preliminaries. At the Ell Paso con-
vention of the A. F. of L. the report
of committee-consisting of Messrs.
Woll and Perkins-was concurred in
and A. F. of L. officials were in
strueted to call meeting of interna-
tional and national representatives,
when this information would be sub
mitted to them. The meeting was
called last summer, and this conclud-
ed the mission of the A. F. of L. The
matter is now in the hands of its af-
filiatAS.

MORE DOLLARS SUNK
INTO OIL WELLS THAN
BROUGHT TO SURFACE

Investigating in the stock of an oil
company is pretty risky PROPOSE
ton, according to Treasury Depart
ment returns.
There were 3,70O corporations in
the oil business in 1923. Less than
one third, or 1,072 made money. Their
net profit totalled $37 7,438,285, or
about $4,000 Oh the average.
The 2,670 companies which claimed
they made no profits insisted their
losses totalled $179,683, sos.
Unless the gentlemen who swore to
perjury, the losses of the oil COM
panies amounted to almost five times
the profits.

Workers Save Labor Law

Seattle, Wash.-The lusty howis

far from recognized friend of labor,
has vetoed the project. He says it is
unnecessary and inadvisable."

diversion began at Chicago the har-
Dor at Milwaukee was approximately
five feet deep, while today it is more
than twenty-one feet This increase
in depth was made at the expense of
the whole country from funds appro-
priated by congress.
Il find that many who are most
strenuously opposed to the diversion
at Chicago have no qualms of con-
science about advocating far more eX-
tensive diversion from Niagara Falls

"There are two definitions of trea-

most reasonable, because it does not

Village Blacksmith
Saved in England

Hartford, Eng, May 20 CA. P. by
maiD-Strenuous efforts are being
made here and in other agricultural
districts of England to save the pic
turesque old fashioned village black
smith from passing into oblivion.
The smith of England today is not
"toiling and rejoicing" to draw I'M
due attention to himself, but is "sor-
rowing" a great deal more than in
the days when Longfellow idealized
hin-all because of the advent of
the automobile and the motor trac-
tor.
In their desire to Save" the vii
lage blacksmith the Hertfordshire
county council members announced
recently particulars of a plan de-
signed to keep alive the decaying in
dustry which has been so hard hit
by the modern organization of the
big manufacturers and their agents
who supply standardized parts Of
farm implements and machinery on
lines of mass production. The min
istry of agriculture too has become
interested In the scheme to prevent
the passing of the blacksmith and
has agreed to cooperate in the move
ment.
Special committees appointed to
investigate the plight of the smithy
have reported that there are many
articles in popular demand which
cannot be satisfactorily produced by
factory methods because of the skill

All Except Two
Points in Security
Pact Are Approved

Locarno, Switzerland, Oct. lO.-(P)
The German and Allied Statesmen
today approved the second reading of
the majority of the points in the
draft security pact, but left for con
sideration on Monday the two main
outstanding questions, first the con-
ditions of Germany's entrance into
the league of nations, and second,
Frances special guarantee for Pol
and
These two questions will be the
subject of private pourparlcrs over
the week end. Meanwhile, Foreign
Minister Stressmann of Germany is
telegraphing to Berlin the interpre-
tative declaration drawn up by the
judicial experts on article 16 Of the
league covenant, providing for con
certed action against any aggressive
nation.
The allies hope the declaration will
satisfy the Germans, as it's effect is
to recognize Gcrmany's special CON
dition of disarmament and to remove
her from the obligation of partic-
pating against her will in operations
to enforce league penalties.

PENDANTS in Action

Acting on its own initiative the
state railroad board today began an
Investigation to determine what pro-

crossings Of the Red Trail east of

The Northern Pacific and 500 Line
railroads, the city of Bismarck, Bur

commission were all made defend

the first results Of the wide
survey of grade crossings which is
being made by the board.
The Red Trail crossings east of
Bismarck are particularly danger
Gus, Frank Milhollan. board chair
man, said. An effort will be made
to reach an agreement as to what
measures are necessary to protect
the travelling public. Methods which
will be considered, Mihollan said
are the erection Of stop signs at each
of the crossings; the erection of
gates which would be lowered on the
approach Of trains or the separation
of railroad and highway grades by
the construction Of subways or over
passes.
