Chas. E. Hughes Pleads for Liberty
And Warns Against Intolerance

Detroit, Mich.-A plea for the
constitutional rights of indlvl-
duals and warning on the in
tolerant spirit of the age were
features Of an address by Chas.
r. Hughes, former secretary of
state, in opening the annual con-
vpntion of the American bar
association.
"The most ominous sign of our
time as it seems to me, is the indica-

operated for less than 10 inmates
each, and considerably more than one
half care for less than 25 inmates
each. That this multiplicity of smal
almshOuses results in unnecessarily
high costs, inefficient methods and
inadequate care is demonstrated in
the report.
"The unavoidable conclusion seems
to be that dilapidation, inadequancy
and even indecency are the outstand-
ing physical features of most of our
small almshouses," the report states.
Ignorance, unfitness and a complete
lack of comprehension of the social
element involved in the conduct of a
public institution are characteristic of
large part of their managing per-
sonnel. Among the inmates them
selves insanity, feeble -mindedness,
depravity and respectable old age are
mingled in hap-hazard unconcern. 1t
is idle, then, to imagine that social
conditions in these institutions could
be other than deplorable.
practically everywhere the small
almshouse stands out as the victim
of a web of Indifference and neglect
which begins first with a public
which either knows nothing of its ex-
istence or has so little concern that
it pays no attention to conditions.
Given an Indifferent public, it is
rarely indeed that the elected Off
cials of that public will feel or show
a deeper interest"

Testing New Type
Of Motive Power
Fuel Cost Two Cents a Mile As
Corn pared with 20 to 26
Cents for Steam Engine

Montreal, Quebec, Cana unique
train, said to be the first of its kind
in the world, has just been tried out
over the Canadian National Railway
line from Peterboro to Lakefield. The
fuel cost was two cents a mile, as
compared with 20 to 26 cents a mile
fuel cost for steam engine pulling the
same load.
The principle behind the motive
power which drives the car is an en-
tirely new departure in the transpor-
tation industry. In one end of the
car there is located a Diesel engine
operated by fuel oil which is both
safe and economical. These engines
are started by a small electric motor
and in turn they operate an electric
generator which produces sufficient
electricity to move the car, to provide
lighting and to store up enough cleo
tricity in the storage batteries set un-
derneath the car to provide power for
the starting motor when again re-
quired.
With exception of the Diesel en-
gine and specially constructed gen
orator, which are of British manufac-
ture, all the work on the new car has
been done in Canada, the bulk of it
at the Point St. Charles shops of the
Canadian National Railways.
A statement issued from headquar-
ters offices of the c. N. R. here says:
"No eXtravagant claims are made
for the new car by those responsible
for its design and construction. 1t is
known, however, from tests made
that in the Diesel-electric car there
has been created a new type of mo-
tive power which can be both econom-
ical and serviceable in operation, emf
nently suited for the type of work
for which it is intended, namely, sub
urban, interurban and branch line
traffic. 1t is thought, also, that it
may prove an effective competitor of
the motor bus and trucks which, using
the public highways, are competing
with rail transportation systems in
short haul passenger, express and
freight business"

damental principles which are back
of that law-the principles Of liberty
to be resnected, illustrated and ap-
piled by law"
In referring to the growth of the
lntolerant spirit, he said:
"Our institutions were not devised
TO bring about a uniformity of opin-
ion. If they had been we might we'll
abandon hope. 1t is important to re-
member, as has we'll been said, that
the essential characteristic of true
liberty is, that under it's shelter many
different types of life and character
and opinion and belief can develop
unmolested and unobstructed. No
where could this shelter be more
necessary than in our own country
with its different racial stocks, va
riety of faiths and the manifold in
terests and opinions which attest the
vigor and Zest of our intellectual life
"Let not the vital principle be OBJ
scured bv mere discussions of consti-
tuitonal power. We justly prize our
safeguards against abuses, but they
will not last long if intolerance gets
under way"
Liberty, he said, is now in need of
safeguards and protection against or
ganized endeavors and against bu-
reaucracv, so that "the citadels of in
dividual liberty" may not be sur
rendered.

Washington-The average"
inmate of almshouses in this
country requires $334.64 an
nually for maintenance, lives on
4.02 acres Of land, of which 2.14
acres is cultivated for his main

Demand the Labels

"In Union There Is Strength, "
and the strength of any Union
is gained and sustained by the
cooperation of those who be-
lieve in collective bargaining,
and demand the label on every
thing they purchase.
This is the practice of many
of the organized men of New
ark, but alas, too many of them
are careless about such matters
and forget or neglect this duty,
which is of incalculable benefit
to their fellow workers. In no
single instance in Newark is this
demand for the label of more
Importance than in the case of
the Bakers, who are now put
ting up a stiff fight against un-
fair bread and other bakery
goods which are manufactured
in other cities by grasping un-
ion-hating monopolies, imported
into this city, and purchased
and consumed to a large extent
by men carrying a union card in
their pocket.
This is not right and should
cease. No true union man would
buy an unfair article made away
from home when something as
good and often better, made in
our own town and bearing the
label can be bought at exactly
the same price. Brothers bear
this in mind. Buy Newark made

Florida Road Makes
Track Laying Record

Tampa, Fla.-What is claimed to be
record time in the building of a rail
road marked the completion of the
Florida & Western Northern, which
Is operated by the Seaboard Air Line.
This new line, which is 204 miles
long, was built and put in operation
in nine months. 1t opens a new ter
ritory for development in Florida and
provides a short line across the state
from Tampa on the west coast to
West Palm Beach on the east coast
Tracklaying was started from five
different points, and in four of these
operations tracklaying machines were
used. There was considerable rivalry
between the different gangs, one gang
making record of 8,317 feet of track
in one day, closely followed by anoth-
er gang with $500 feet.

of Social Work showed that liquor
drinking among the young had great
ly increased since prohibition
times, while general respect for the
law had decreased. Also that about
1920 there had been a sharp drop in
cases of dependency, but that since
that date there had been a constant
ly and steady increase There has
also been falling away on the part
of religious and moral forces from
the crusading enthusiasm which
brought about the new regime.
From the trend of the report one
is lead to believe that the people of
the United States are experiencing a
decided change of view on the pro

Had Eighteen
Union Labels

At a recent meeting of Kansas City
Typographical Union No. 80, In con-
nection with the report Of their label
activities, testimonial was conducted
in which each one present announced
the number of labels they had on
their clothing and personal belong
;ngs. 1t was good to hear those who
mad one hundred per cent. Some
were "home made" men, the wife
having made some of the articles Of
clothing they were wearing, but they
had the labels on their "store bought
clothes.
The largest number Of labels claim
ed was eighteen. The man having
this number is +. J. Gribbin and he
advocates patronizing organized labor
in every instance where 1T Is possible
and practices it. The labels he claim
ed from the ground up were on the
following: Shoe repair, shoes, socks,
hose supporters, underwear, shirt,
suit, suspenders, collar, tie, handker-
chief, hat, union button, jewelry
workers 1.-TWO articles), leather work
ers, tobacco, 1.-TWO articles), total or
eighteen different articles bearing
the label. All of these articles were
procured in Kansas City.
A testimonial occasionally is a good
thing. 1t brings anew to us the
truth, Omitted we stand, divided we
fall" When we patronize the other
fellows label and he patronizes ours,
we are showing to the world that we
really stand for the betterment of all
workers and working conditions.

Credentials were also issued to rep

the merits of the enterprise in whose
welfare they are so earnestly inter

The project of a rubber and tire

In allaying fears of new differences
between France and Great Britain, 1t
was authoritativeiy asserted that the
discussions relating to the proposed

a very preliminary stage. The att
tude of both governments seems to
be, however. that some definite pro-
gram for European security must be
ready for presentation to the League
of Nations assembly in September.
Both nations agree on the necessity
of a pact safeguarding the Rhine
frontier and the German frontiers in

French and British statesmen differ
widely on the scope OF the pact and
on the methods to be pursued In OBJ

The British view is said to be that

the views of his foreign secretary,

plan has been removed in the death of
