ITO Immediately suspend the district
council pending reorganization and
take steps to amalgamate the various
local unions into one.
Delegates were warned that in vot-
ing against this ukase they not only
laid themselves liable to suspension,
but jeopardized their locals.
In reading the communication Potts
said he had no comment to make ex-
cept that he wished that some one
else had his job. Evidently even
Hutcheson's agents find it difficult to
do his dirty work.
Reynolds Makes Statement.
When asked for a statement, Rey-
nolds said that the fight was still a
fight to preserve the constitutional
rights of members and the constitu-
ion itself was the foundation of the
Brotherhood. He said that such had
been, is and would be his position
until the constitution was restored
regardless Of how many or how few
supported him or how long drawn out
the fight might be. He pointed out
that Hutcheson ordered them to
violate the law of the land as out
lined by the court decision which he
(Hutcheson) had prayed" for.
The letter from Gear Hutch" men
toned the suspension Of Reynolds al
tho every previous communication
said expel. The crawfish in Indiana
polls are looking for a hole to crawl
into.
The Evidence.
1t developed from the discussion
that the evidence" upon which Rey-
nolds was Expelled" was a letter
from the Workers Party to its mem
bers said to have been signed by
Reynolds. Reynolds is state secretary
Of the Workers Party and in that
capacity writes letters to every coun-
ty clerk in Michigan and the secre-
tary of state. The Workers Party is
running a full ticket in the spring
election and Reynolds is a candidate
for the Office of regent of the univer-
sity. 1t is obvious that unless his
political rights are to be curtailed
by Teapot Dome republican Hutche-
son, the exercise of his official duties
must not be made the basis of charges
in the Carpenters Union. The letter
in question has never been submitted
to Reynolds as evidence" and it is
likely a forgery. .-A.as--s-..-..,----
Answer Hutchinson.
After extensive debate a motion to
inform ''His Highness" and the G. E.
B. that the district council of Detroit
intended to sustain Reynolds in his
rights of membership and his priv
ilege of participating in the meet
ings of the district council as a dele
gate from his local union, was car
ried by vote of % to 4.
Again Hutcheson has his answer
from the carpenters of Detroit. Some
time 1t will seep thru his dense dome
that the carpenters insist that the
constitution be restored and observed.
When that day comes perhaps he will
withhold his dumb-bells from Detroit
and settle this issue by quashing his
frameup.

EMPLOYEES Stock Owner
ship Proves PrOfita-
BILE To Employer

When a wage Garner owns a few
shares of stock in the concern, his
employer hopes to develop a "eon-
tented" worker. The employer also
saves the commission he would pay
a broker for marketing that stock.
Before the era of employe stock
ownership, broker bought the en-
tire stock issue. His commission
ranged from S. per $1,000 upward.
During the war these commissions
were as high as $50 and SIS, ae-
cording to the risk assumed.
The broker then "peddles" this
stock to the public.
Employe stock ownership makes
it impossible for the employer TO
lose. He sells direct to his en-
ployes. He saves brokerage COM
missions while he fastens workers
to their jobs by their belief that
ownership of the stock assures
them an income.
The employee stock ownership
system prevails in nOn-union plants
where the worker has no means of
becoming acquainted with stock
selling methods. If he questions
the value of the stock, he jeopar-

He puts his finger on the most

Personal privileges and rights

they owe the nation nothing. This
feeling is largely responsible for the
widespread disrespect Of law in this

Americans aren't Inherently more

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-Drama
greater than that on the stage is
enacted at the box Office during the
opening week Of any show on
Broadway. Play production is the
biggest gamble known In America.
A play that achieves any success
worth mentioning will return q
thousand per cent or more on the
original investment. A failure
means the loss of many thousands
of dollars.
For instance, White Cargo" is
baking profit of $4,000 a week in
New York alone. 1t has been run
ming here longer than any other
show except "Abie's Irish Rose" In
addition there are eight other COM
panies playing 1t in this country
and England.
The Show-Off" represents an or
iginal investment of $4,000. 1t has
Just completed a year on Broadway
and will run six months more. It
clears about $4,000 week for the
producers.
In addition picture rights to
white Cargo" and 1.-THE Show-Off''
will be sold for 100000 or more
each, and half OF that sum will go
to the stage producers.
On the other hand, consider the
failures that crowd the many store
houses about town. There is Has
SAN" spectacle produced by A. l.
Erlanger. 1t ran less than month
and cost s125.00o. The Selwyns lost

UMANE organizations in the

Senator Daily-to prohibit the trim
ming OF ears and tails of dogs.
Whether pruning a dogs ears and
docking his tail enhances canine
beauty or not is debatable. That
the process is painfth Is easily
understandable. Man probably would
dislike to clip his own ears.
However men and women-par-
ticularly the latter-would cheerful

thereby. To achieve that they have
always willingly endured discomfort.
torture, and mutilation.
Since the dawn OF time they have
tried to make themselves moro
beautiful by altering and revising
the design of the Creator-with in
different success,
Savage tribes have pressed their
skulls to peaks, slashed intricate de-
signs on their bodies, filed teeth to
points. stretched lips and noses out
of shape to accommodate enormous
rings-all for the sake Of beauty.
OF course such barbarous ideas OF
human beauty are absurd. Perhaps
the civilized custom Of trimming a
dogs ears to enhance his beauty Is
equally absurd.
In view Of the uncertainty, and
the pain inflicted, possibly it would
be well to leave the matter to the
dog. II he thinks clipped ears win
add to his attractiveness let him do
the clipping himself.

CITY RIVALRY

I each others expense and in flercer
competition.
This competition will do for cities
what It has done for every other
kind Of enterprise. 1t will lead to
Improvement on the one hand, and
economy on the other.
AS people are called upon to make
choice between cities. they will grow
more critical and exacting. They
will demand thrift as well as con-
veniences, will study tax rates as
we'll as wage scales.
The .ballyhoo, the advertising cam
paign, the struggle for conventions,
which are but primary symptoms OF
city competition, will presently give
way to steadier and more construc-
tive work. ~
