PA" and MA" Jeddings, accom-
panied by their daughter Marie, are
at Congress Hall Hotel to sightSee
Washington as the honored guests
of the citizens of Battle Creek, Mich,
in appreciation of 40 years of faithful
service by PA" as a letter carrier.
Tomorrow they are to be central
figures in a little office reception by
Postmaster General New and on the
following morning they are to be
greeted at the White House Aby the
President himself.
Bernard Jeddings took out the first
sack of mail when free delivery was
established in Battle Creek in 1885.
For nearly twoscore years he has
been a carrier in one of the principal
residence districts. Babies born in
homes along his route became heads
of families and he carried mail to
their homes and to their children.
Probably no citizen of our town
has so thoroughly and constantly
represented cheerfulness and kindly
service as he has," A. L. Miller, the
chairman of the citizens committee
that planned the honor trip to Wash
ington, wrote to Postmaster General
New. Not long ago he was retired,
on allowance, and that fact, In con-
nection with his remarkable service
record, was commented upon in a
letter of commentator from Post
master General New.
PA" and MA" Jeddings had never
met Uncle Sam, even though PA"
had been working for him SO long
and cheerfully, SO the old home folks
thought they ought to run down here
and see something of the Government
he had so faithfully represented in
humble capacity-Battle Creek has
a habit OF honoring it's useful and
outstanding citizens.
So Mt. and Mrs. Jeddings are here
a. guests Of xpeir fellow citizens.

BALTIMORE, May 26. Cinders
blown into the air by Curtis Bay blast
furnaces may have caused the hail
storm Sunday that did thousands of
dollars damage in and around Balti-
more, according to DR.. A. w. Berry
of Johns Hopkins University, assist
ant State geologiSt. CinderS were
found to be the cores of hailstones
that fell at many places.
Prof. Berry said that the presence
of foreign matter at the center of
hailStones was not unusual.
''All hailstones," he said. have a
nucleus of some sort, but it is gener-
ally very tiny-almost microscopic. 1t
is quite possible, however, that cinders
and particles of ash blown into the
air by Curtis Bay factories may have
become the centers of hailstones.
1T is possible that some Of the Gin
ders, carried to great heights on
warm air currents, may have caused
the storm. 1t is possible-anything is
possible. AS a rule hailstones are
formed at very high attitudes"
Most of the particles found consisted
of sharp jagged fragments of some
hard but very light gray stone or
Stag. In most cases they were spongy,
but few were solid and crystalline.
They ranged from one-eighth to three
eighths Of an inch in length and were
of irregular shapes.

Russia Aids Communist
Papers in Effort to
Wreck the Unions

New York, July l3.-A deficit 81
several hundred thousand dollars an
nually incurred by the Ii daily papers
publ shed By communists in this coun-
try Is paid by the Russian communist
party.
The above Is one of several sensa-
tional statements contained in mani,
festo issued by the International
Ladies' Garment Workers union IN ats
war on communists in its ranks.
Charges are now pending against
officers of three locals who are ac,
cused of assisting in the communists
recent May day demonstration IN ms
city. At that time the Garment
Workers union was attacked IN a
manner that would do credit to the
national association of manufacturers.
The manifesto asserts that the
small number of communists in the
union would be ignored were 1t not
for the fact that behind them there
stands the entire machinery OF the
communist party with its IA dally
papers, maintained by funds OF the
Russian communist government
In addition TO the Ii daily papers,
the communist party publishes eight
weeklies and several monthly maya
zines.
mot one of these publications pays
for itself, and, with the execution OF
one or two, these communistlc peri
odicals haxe neither readers nor ad-
vertisers. The Italian federation OF
the Workers party, which has 3lP
members, issues its own daily paper.
The Hungarian federation number
359 members and publishes daily
paper. The Polish federation has $40
members and also publishes a daily
new paper. The English central OF
gan of the communists, which carries
no advertisements whatever and has
only an insignificant number of read
ers, comes out daily in six pages and
issues a special supplement on Sun
day.

Farmers Place Value
On Telephone Service

Business men long have admitted
the almost inestimable value of the
telephone in the conduct of their bust
ness. A new angle on the value of
this invention came to light, how
ever, when three representative farm.
ers of North Dakota, picked at ran
dom, were requested to compile list
of their uses of a telephone for a
month and TO place an estimate 90 its
business value to them during that
period. The survey was for a valua-
ton only of business calls.
One Of the three farmers estimated
his telephone service was worth $3.50
for the month. The second fixed his
figure at. $l0.S0, and the third esti-
mated its value to him at $22.20.
The first of the three recorded 80
business and 90 social calls made dur
ing the month. Farmer No. 2 re-
ported ITO business calls and 10 social
calls in the month, and Farmer No. )
had u total of 81 business and 81
social calls.
Only outgoing calls We're consid-
cred in the study. OF course, incom-
ing calls were of much value, in many
instances, but it was decided the prob
lem of placing a definite value on
these was too difficult to attempt.
Neither was any consideration given
to the telephones value to any of the
men when and if used in emergecies.

Every Father a Parent,
Slogan OF Child Study
Association of America

New York, July 2O.-"Every father
parent" is the slogan Of new
campaign started By Mr. Howard ).
Cans, President Of the ChAd STUDY
Association of America, Inc, 70 make
the fathers OF America real teachers
of their children. This organization
is staging a big conference at which
parents will be invited 10 come ana
discuss their problems. Noted edu-
Gators will speak also. The word
father you know says Mrs. Cans,
Whose husband Is a well-nown New
York lawyer), comes from an Oh
word meaning food or feeding.
Now, food is intellectual and the
building of character, as well as some
thing to eat.
Fathers a. feeders is the idea We
should like 10 see established there
fore. We are starting a movement 10
get the fathers of America to feel this
relationship to their children. The
Child Study Association Of America
wants educators, schools, all parents
and newspapers 10 help il, il they VIII.
To-day fathers are likely to be SO
occupied in earning iivings for their
familie. that they find little time 10
give to educators in the home VI
course, every father Is a physical
parent; but we want him To be more
fully a parent than that. And many
fathers are quite capable educators
of their children; they give thought
As well as time 10 il. But we feel
that it would be a great benefit to the
children of this country II more
fathers would take a real interest IN
their children, study them, learn some
of the difficulties that child has IN
growing up, be companions to them,
and help them to become men ana
women with initiative and selt-fe-
lance.
why shouldn't the home be the
greatest educational institution in the
world?" A lot can be done for
children, you know, even before they
go to school. Children begin to iml-
tate those about them almost as soon
as they begin to walk. And even
after school has started, the father can
help his child in learning how to
make adjustments to situations in lite
that the school does not take any
notice of.
AT our conference, which will be
held at the Waldorf Hotel, New York
City, October Goth to 18th, fathers
and mothers will come into their own.
They will give their problems and
share each others experiences. Peo-
pie who have studied children, educa-
tors, psychologists and others will
also tell what they have learned about
parenthood, and how men and women
can be better teachers and friends to
their children. Everybody is invited
to attend.
"Of course, even mothers can be
better parents than they are" said
Mrs. Cans. "lf fathers and mothers
would make a team, that would be
fine. By talking to each other about
their children, STUDYING the peculiar
tiles of the little tots, and coming to
an agreement in regard to the things
that are best for them, they would
have lots of fun themselves and do the
children a world of good. But to make
fathers better educators is the imme-
diate object of our campaign.

Flirted With Reds;
Now Face Charges

New York, July discharges that
they staged a communist demonstra-
ton in this city ON May have been
filed against n members of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
union. The defendants include officers
of three locals.
"The speakers who were invited 10
address this meeting" the charges
state, were members of organizations
opposed to all the settled principles of
trade unioniSm and particularly those
of the International Ladies' Garment
Workers union and the American
Federation of Labor, with which it Is
affiliated"
The hostile organizations are the
Workers party, the Communist party
and the so-called trade union educa-
tional league.
"rhe speakers so invited advocated
at the meeting methods of violence
and dictatorship, which was widely
reported in the public press and con-
veyed the false impression that the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union and its locals were COM
mitted to the aims and methods of
communism and were calculated to I'M
pair the reputation, standing and use
fulness of the organization.
The meeting was designed to be
used, and was actually used, for the
purpose of furnishing avowed enemies
of the international and its officers an
opportunity to publicly SANDER and
defame the organization and its
officers.
"Since the meeting had no connec-
ton whatsoever with any legitimate
activity of local union of the inter
national, but, ON the contrary gave
support to the enemies of the organ
ization, the payment of the expenses,
made out of the revenue of the local,
was a violation Of the constitution"
Certain of the defendants are also
hcarged with diverting funds of their
locals to a reorganization that is hos
tile TO the union.

Notwithstanding the fact that
most Of the communist newspaper
nave no income whatever, they are
coming out regularly and some q
them nave even purchased building
and are equipped With linotype and
printing plants.
The defeit incurred BY these Il
communist daIlies reaches the sum OF
hundreds Of thousands of dollars an
nually. The question arises: Who
covers all these immense expenses Of
the communist party? The reply TO
tins was given BY no one else than
Zinoyiev, the president Of the COM
munist internationale, who is also one
Of the triumvirate which governs
Russia.
This reply consists Of but one terse
phrase: To give every form of as
sistance to the American communists
is one OF the principal tasks OF the
communist internationale. (See artl-
Gle, Five Years of the Commintern,
in the Moscow Pravda Tor February
-, 1924
Each communist, whether he be
longs officially to the trade union edu-
catlonal league or not Is bound by
party discipline 10 act in all union
matters, not as the interests Of the
organization woul ddictate but in ac-
cordance with the orders OF the secret
communist central committee. 1t Is
clear, therefore, that any one who
openly supports in any manner com
munist activity aids thereby our bit
terest enemy in fighting our union
and must, therefore. be regarded as
an enemy of the union.
I'VE have, therefore, reached the
conclusion that our international union
must put an end, with firm and I'M
faltering arm to the communist de
moralizaton in its midst. The COM
munists have declared war iron Us,
and our reply to them must be war!
Whoever is with the communists
is an enemy of ours and for such
there j. no room within our ranks"

Union LabOr's First
Legal Reserve Life
Insurance COmpan!

Washington, ID. C.-Labor Is de-
yeloping in many activities, and Is now
entering some of the important lines
Of work which formerly were carried
on only by Capital. This indicates
the growing purpose of the producers
Of wealth to handle and control their
own money, savings, investments, and
business, to larger and larger de-
gree.
The international Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers has been the lead
er in this new step into the insurance
field, and Labor is 10 be congratulated
that the step has at last been taken.
While many unions have provided
fraternal insurance for their members,
such insurance Is for the most part
inadequate, as the amounts paid IN
many organizations are small, and not
sufficient for the needs of the ordin-
AIRY worker with family to support.
The successful experience of the In
ternational Brotherhood OF Electrical
Workers in providing fraternal insur-
ance for its members through the
Electrical Workers Benefit Associa-
ton led directly to the establishment
of the Union Cooperative Insurance
Association, with its Home Office in
the Machinists Building at Washing
ton, d. c., so that it could provide
regular legal reserve life insurance
not only to its own members but to
all other bodies of Organized Labor,
and to the public in general. The
stock of the Union Cooperative In
surance Association is owned entirely
by Labor.
For the first time, therefore, it IS
now possible to obtain insurance pro-
lection of the highest class, at the
lowest cost consistent with solvency,
and at the same time through an
institution owned and controlled by
Labor, thereby giving the insured the
comfort of knowing that premiums
paid for protection would not be mo-
bilized in unfriendly hands, and used
against the workers when confronted
with industrial disputes.
The latter point is in itself a
strong argument to Labor to support
this new enterprise, patterned large
ly on the regular commercial compan-
les, but operated by Labor for Labor.
