Switchmens Union
Wins Important Case

Chicago, Ill.-The Switchmen's I'm
ion Of North America has won an i'm
portant case against the Northern Pa
cific through decision just handed
down by the Railroad Labor Board
Following the termination of fed
eral operation of the line a number of
switchmen were deprived of seniority
by the dissolutioH--ef jeint terminals.
An attempt to adjust the matter with
the carrier failed and the Switchmen's
Union carried the case to the Labor
Board, which ordered the men rein
stated to their former positions.
The Northern Pacific protested and
asked for a rehearing, which was
granted, and set up the plea that the
Switchmen's Union was not recog-
nized as being the duly authorized
representative of the yard employees.
The board holds that its former de-
cision (No. 2157 was just and is
therefore reaffirmed.
"The Labor Board is of the opin-
iOn," reads the decision, "that the
contention of the carrier is not we'll

light metal, and is capable Of travel
ing 300 miles an hour. Aloft in the
sky it looks like huge silver bird.
The pair Of wings spread go feet
across the fuSelage, which is suspend

deal like an automobile sedan body.
Inside the "body" there are comfort
able seats for the pilot and passen-
gers. These seats can be pulled out
and constructed into beds for night
travel the same as railroad sleeping
cars.
The landing gear has two seperate
sections. In the rear of the ship is a
large construction, like the runners of
a sled, equipped with heavy shock alb
sorbers. The alighting vessel, with
nose pointed upward, can land on
these runners at a speed as high as
As or so miles an hour. Not only does
this tailpiece absorb the shock of the
landing, but it also acts as a brake,
reducing the speed of the plane as it
runs along the landing field. Then

gentle stop on the two front wheels.
These wheels are large, and are
equipped with inflated tires, which
are about sixteen inches in diameter.

SerfdOm Complete
In Southern Mines

Chattanooga, Tenn. - Working
conditions in nOn-union mines of
this state is the best argument why
workers should organize. Except
ing West Virginia, it is doubtful if
any section Of the country can pre-
sent such an appalling situation as
exists in mining properties oper-
ated by the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis and the Tennessee Cen
tral railroads.
With a wage as low as any in
the United States, pluck-me stores,
"yellow dog" contracts, unlimited
power to tax workers for powder
and tool sharpening, and workers
denied the right to watch weigh
ing of coal, serfdom is complete.
No worker is employed in these
mines who refuses to agree not to
join a trade union. The state law
provides for a check weighman at
each coal tipple, but the miners
must accept the word of a COM
pany agent as to the amount of
coal mined.
The miners can not move their
families to other localities, as prac-
tically every one Of them are in
debt through the operation of
pluck-me stores.

Judges mot Necessarily Always
Wise," Says Nations High Cour'

president has exercised his pardoninl
power in criminal contempt cases TO-
rs years.
"The administration of justice
by the courts is not necessarily
always wise or certainly cOnsid-
crate of circumstances which
may properly mitigate guilt"
Chief Justice Taft said. "TO af-
ford remedy, it has always been
thought essential in popular gov
ernments, as well as in mOnar-
chies, to vest in some other au-
thOrity than the courts power to
ameliOrate or avoid particular
criminal judgments. 1t is check
entrusted to the executive for
special cases. To exercise it to
the extent of destroying the det-
errent effect of judicial punish
ment would be to pervert it; but
whoever is to make it useful must
have full discretion to exercise it.
Our constitution cOnfers this dis
cretiOn on the highest officer in
the nation in confidence that he
will not abuse it."
The supreme court herein acknowl
edges that it is we'll for some one t.
sit in judgment over certain of it's de
cisions.

in the list is a noisy company "un-
ion" of postal clerks that is petted
by the postoffice bureaucracy, and
is used as a foil to the legitimate

The sincerity of this group is in
dicated by the testimony of their
secretary, Grogan, before sub
committee of the committee on post
offices and post roads, sixty-eighth
congress (pages 431-432):
"You know as well as | do
that the government is under
no obligations to say that you I,
have got to provide a living
wage just because man needs
it. If you were to go to the
bank and ask for 500 and tell
them that your family was
starving and you have to get
it, will they give it to you?
Why be hypocritical in this

Ford Air 'Flivver' Planes Will Soon
Be ON the Market Says Edsel Ford

Detroit, Mich.-Henry Ford has an
ambition to manufacture flying ma
chimes that can be purchased and op-
Grated by the average run of men
and women. In fact, he prophesies
the not far away time when wage
earners will be ~flivvering to work
from country homes through the air
just as they do now in their automo-
biles from suburban districts.
1t became known a few days ago
that Ford is preparing to produce at
his plant here an all-metal plane that
will carry ten passengers and sell for
5000, on easy payments, if neces
Sary.
Edsel Ford, son of Henry, verified
stories that have been current in De-
troit for several weeks. He said
eve are financially interested
in the Stout Metal Airplane Com
pany and the Aircraft Develop
ment Corporation, which will soon
have ready for trial flight the
first model of their all-metal
heavier-than-air ship. Detroit
will be its home. We built the
factory and laid out the field,
and are quite willing that the
Ford name shall be used. The
first five or six planes will be
finished and sold this year. We
will probably use our Ford repre-
sentatives in the larger cities in
the sale of airplanes when guam
tity production is reached"
1t is apparent the object Of the
Fords is to make the new plane as
universal as the we'll known oliver"
The mechanism is to be as simple as
that of Ford motor.
The first few planes will be sold
for about $4,000, although they will
cost more than 100000 each, count
ing investment charges. Later, as
quantity production is reached, the
price will be Systematically lowered,
first to about $4,000 a plane, and
finally to as low as $4,000. Then the
history of the Ford car as to prices
is to be repeated.

passengers, including the pilot, or a

"ONE BY ONE THE ROSES FADE"

"ONE BY ONE THE ROSES FADE"
Monday the Assistant Superintend-
ent of Cedar Hill Cemetery handed in
his resignation and quit his job. 1t
it said he assigned no special reason
for his action, so it is to be presum-
ed he had all of it he wanted. The
next day five other grave yard en-
ployes followed suit and flew the
coop. In discussing the affair His
Honor the Mayor still clings to the
claim that as far as he is aware ev-
erything is lovely and solubrious in
the city departments, not cloud in
the horizon, and the goose hangs
high Neither does he see anything
remarkable in the fact that city en-
ployes are deserting the old ship in
gangs and punches of half dozen
or more, as such things may be ex-
pected in the course of a days work.
Charlie Harris, the Cemetery Sup
erintendent, whose wings to a Ger
tain extent were clipped by the pow
ers that be, is still it, and is holding
down his job and saving wood. He
gets his salary, house rent, water and
gas as of yore and is always on hand
to attend to business. The question
now pops up will the books be again
taken back to the cemetery office and
business again be conducted as it was
so conveniently and successfully in
the past almost from time immemo-
rial.
