Address to oK.C.'s S

Loyalty to ideals" was the central
thought of the address delivered Mon
day night to the Knights of Columbus
by Dr. Herman c. Fischer Of the Pom
tifical College Josephinum, Columbus.
Father Fischer explained that true
loyalty to any organization means the
subordination of ones personal desires
to the good of the organization as a
whole-that matters of small import
ance should be brushed aside when
they interfered with the success Of
the paramount objective of the or
ganization. The speaker stressed the
importance Of cooperation in all the
activities of the council, urging an
active interest in all movements for
civic betterment and pointed out the
many avenues open for social service.

no occasion for further hearings
and insists that the commission
act on the evidence now before
it. He says the holding corpor-
alton of the bread trust has
added nine concerns to the four
teen corporations it previously
controlled, and that this gives
every indication of a growing
and continuing tendency toward
monopoly"

Is Looked For at
Next Congress
Labor viii Wage Campaign fOi
Passage of Favorable
Legislation

Washington, D. C.-The first ses-
sion of the 69th congress which meets
December Z has brought forth many
prophecies as to what legislation will
or will not be considered and when
it will adjourn. Speaker elect Nicho-
/ las Longworth, according to news
papers, informed President Coolidge
that the revision of the taxes will be
taken up Immediately and completed
by December 81. Then the appropria-
tion bills will be considered and con-
gress will be ready to adjourn not
later than June.
Members of congress who have ar
rived in the city say that they have
been informed that very little legis-
lation will be enacted; that congress
will be as quiet as possible because
Of the elections next fall. Whether
they are able or not to break down
the bars against legislation they will
stir things up as never before.
Notwithstanding the intention of
the leaders to suppress as much leg
islation as possible labor intends to
make a vigorous campaign in favor
of the following legislation:
Prohibiting the issuance of injunc-
tions by federal courts in labor dis
putes.
Providing that prison-made prod
ucts shipped into a state shall come
under the laws of that state the same
as if manufactured therein.
The Howell-Barkley railroad bill.
Liberalizing the civil service retire
ment law.
Prohibiting the use of wooden bag
gage and express cars.
Abolishing the bureau of eff
ciency."
Providing for the transfer of the
classification board to the United
States civil service commission.
Minimizing unemployment through
out the United States by developing
public works during periods of de-
preston.
To create a department of educa-
ton.
Making Lincoln's birthday a legal
holiday in the District of Columbia
Prohibiting transportation of labor
In interstate commerce to points
where a lockout or strike is in prog
ress without advising the persons so
transported.

LACKS SAFEGUARDS

More than one-fifth of the
total days lost by oil workers
can be traced to the lack of safe
ty devices, according to the
United States bureau Of mines.
Many of these accidents can
be avoided by installing proper
safeguards" it is stated. "Oil
well machinery safeguards are
relatively simple, are ineXpen-
sive to construct and install, and
when once installed are an in
tegral part of the draw-works
machinery, movable with the
drilling outfit from one location
to another"

WAGES OF RAIL
ROAD WORKERS
(From Christian Science Monitor)

" lOlil SilI lSblelll AONiNliSC 4'AN'AiNSf(
Officials representing trainmen and
conductors in the western section OF
the United States have, through their
national organizations, taken defin-
ite step looking to the restoration OF
what they refer to as wartime wages.
1t is estimated that the advances, if
granted or authorized, would entail
an additional annual outlay of approx
imately S25, 100000 by the employing
railroads, to be met, logically, by the
imposition of higher charges for serv-
ice rendered. 1t is Indicated that this
action by the western associations of
the railroad brotherhoods will lead at
once to the reopening of the issue in
all parts of the country. The in
creases in pay are sought by some
100000 men employed in yards and
in train service.
According to present-day wages, If
nearly every industry in the United
States, based, at least theoretically,
upon the cost of living, those receiv-
ed by railway operatives gre not high.
Under the awards concluded by the
United States Railroad abor Board
in July, 1921, a reduction Of II per
cent in wages was made effective
The reduction was from a basis rang
ing from S5.04 day for switch tend
ers to 81 a day for conductors of pass
enger trains. The pay of freight
train brakemen and conductors aver
aged from $5.52, the highest wage
paid to brakemen, to $500 for the
highest paid freight conductors. The
demand is for the restoration Of this
II per cent to the daily pay.
When the fact is taken into ac-
count that men employed in train
service are obliged, in the regular
course of their work, to remain away
| from their homes much of the time,
it must appear, with the failure Of
living costs to recede from the high
point, that the margain between prof
it and loss is extremely narrow. If
at first blush it may seem that the
imposition of an additional tax of
$25,000,000 a year would be hard
ship on an already heavily taxed pub
| lie, it should be remembered that the
finitesimal. Compared with the
wages demanded by skilled and un-
skilled workers in the building indus
Try, IOf instance, tne wages OI rail-
way workers seem low. They have
the advantage, of course, of being
employed steadily from month to
month throughout the year, which as
sures them a fixed and ascertainable
income.
But a fixed income, if it is insult
ficient to provide, in addition to a
bare living, the ordinary comforts and
conveniences of a home, with a fair
margin for amusement and invest
ment, is not adequate. The Ameri-
can industrial policy has been some
what irrevocably defined as one
which assures not only living wage
but reasonable opportunity for ad-
vancement. Perhaps it will not be
difficult for the trainmen and Others
who have undertaken this effort in
their own behalf to prove their case
c0rviIcingly.

Light and Power
Stock Is Widely
Distributed
Ownership by Many Gives Firm
Foundation to mdustry--Lo-
cal Concern Well Establish
ed--Has Over $500
Shareholders

An ever increasing tendency among
investors throughout the entire coun-
! try to favor the stocks of the light
and power companies has resulted in
making almost every man and women
! in America directly or indirectly in
terested in the industry. The Ohio
Power Company is particularly we'll
established in this respect for the gen.
eral public has been eager to become
part owners of this reliable concerr.
once It's advantages were made dear
IN conjunction with its sale of Pre-
| ferred stock.
Such a condition as this gives TO
the Company and its customers and
stockholders the advantage of placing
the business on far more static
basis than that on which the major
| ity Of successful industries rest.
The increase in the number OF in
iIvlduals and concerns investing
money ir the light and power COM
nanies has kept pace with the growth
IN these public utility concerns them
selves. AS the physical properties of
the industry throughout the United
States grew, during the last so years,
from small power plant, costing but
few thousand dollars, to hundreds
of mammoth generating and distribu-
ton systems, the number of people
who realized that ownership in the
various companies was worth while
increased in a like proportion.
According to the last figures avail
able there were more than 100000
owners Of public utility securities in
the various companies throughout
America in 1924. In addition, say
ings banks and insurance companies
have invested more than $4,000 0,C00,-
600 in light and power securities to-
Gay, striking evidence of the recog-
niZed stability of the stock
The reasons which brought abont a
foundation of safety to light and
power securities were that the con-
f.anies furnish necessities Of every
day life for which there is a constant
| ly increasing demand and that they
own extremely expensive property
and equipment in present use. The
business is firmly established and is
not in the pIomotional stage.
Conditions comparable TO those IF
the business Of The Ohio Power Com
pany.
The Company now has over $500
shareholders and IN addition many Of
its customers are buying stock on the
Easy Payment Plan.
The tremendous growth cf the
Company's business is shown by two
figures recently announced by its Off
cials. Since June 80, 1923, there has
been a huge increase in the nunter
of people using electricity as shown
by the fact that 1927 additional met
eIs have been installed. During the
same period the Company spert more
than $23,497,000 in additions, extern
sions and improvements necessary to
take care of the increased business.
According to students Of the situa-
tion there can be anticipated no let
up in the constant increase of bus
mess for many years.
Future business for the light and
power companies IS assured by the
fact that only about SO per cent Of
the population Of the United States
live in electrically lighted homes and
that less than 81 per cent of indus
trial power is electrically generated.

Old AGE PENSION

A non-contributory old-age

mission on pensions, appointed
by former Governor Cox Of
Massachusetts.
( 1t is proposed that benefici-
aries be 70 years or over, and re-
ceive 81 a week. The initial
cost to the state is estimated at
S5, 100000 a year, the money to
be raised by increasing the in
come tax one-half per cent and
By a poll tax of So on all men
and women.

THE PROHIBITION LAW

The prohibition law is not or
dinary. 1t is, of truth extra
ordinary. 1t holds to guilt
where there can be no possible
intent to violate the law. In in
terpreting it the courts have
held that if John Smith, on the
urgent appeal of a friend, who
misrepresents his purpose, loans
his automobile and the friend be-
trays him, violates the conf
oence Of the owner and uses the
automobile to transport liquor 1t
becomes forfeited to the govern
rlent. The same Interpretation
may be applied to the railroads.
That is not good law. it is
gross injustice, it puts stigma
and penalty upon the innocent.
Enforcement Of such provision
in it tends to break down the
law, no matter how wholesome
it may be in other respects. NO
statute founded on injustice can
exist. Condemning itself IL
aoart the people will condemn it
$ stltogether.
a We believe in thorough en-
orcement of prohibition. When
ppttttempt is made to use it to
T of unish the guiltless, it is not
eDrohibition, it is persecution

Easter and Eggs
Long Associated

The relation between eggs and
Easter does not seem far-fetched
when it is remembered that the
Easter festival is a celebration of
life and that the egg is, perhaps,
the most striking symbol of life,
with it's wonderful possibilities of
development. This symbolical con-
ceptiOn of it can be traced back to
ancient times. One Of the Roman
games was racing on an oval track
for eggs as prizes, and this was in
honor of Castor and POllux, the
twins who had come forth from an
egg laid by the Swan Lena. In an
expense account dating back to the
time of Edward I. of England is the
item: Eighteen pence for 400 eggs
to be used for Easter gifts" Much
further back than that the egg was
considered the emblem of the res
direction. The custom of coloring
the shells was probably the graft
ing of the art instinct upon the
Easter observance. 1t once found
much more elaborate expression
