FRISCO MERGES
ROCK ISLAND

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Announce'
ment OF an 1876, 900. 900 rail merger
the purchase of the Rock Island by
the Frisco, swept Wall Street as a
complete surprise today.
A 10000, 900 stock market coup
quietly accomplished, gave the St
Louis-san Francisco working con
troll OF the Chicago. Rock Island
and Pacific Railway Company.
All that awaits formal consuma-
ton of the huge consolidation is
approval by the Interstate Com.
merce Commission. Financiers had
believed the. Southern Pacific would
acquire the Rock Island.
The Rock Island had 9,039 miles
OF main track. The Frisco has
5,546. This gives the projected
road a mileage OF 1855. more than
1000 miles greater than the 12.447
OF the Southern Pacific, which up
to the present had led all roads OF
the country in mileage.

BANK BRANCHES
| DISCUSSED
BY RICHARD HATTON

The sporadic outbreak Of the sub.
3ect Of branch banks win not
down. In q statement issued by
President Francis NJ, Savage. OF
the Central Savings Bank. the mat.
ter is once more brought to the
fore. Mr.. Savage says: Thank
God, President Coolidge has taken
cognizance of the McFadden bill
and Is reported to have expressed
himself as Opposed to branch
banking whenever It creates mo-
nopolies.''
, Comptroller Dawes declares
Mr.. Savage's statement. ''says that
branch banking in its essence is
nfonopolistic' :.
The statement continues:
One of the dangers OF allowing
national banks to open branches
ID the fact that State regulations
OF branches VIII not prevail against
the national banks which are Fed
eral corporations. It is legally Inn
possible for a unit bank or an in
dtvidual to get redress from a ma
tional bank for wrongfuliy opening
q branch bank because OF the In
ability under the comptroller's Of
9ice ruling to file suit against q
national bank or get relief where q
Comptroller Of the Currency has
committed q wrong"
On the other hand, and equally
as emphatic as the statement of
Mr. Savage. IL the following opinion
expressed by q prominent bank Of
fetal today when asked for his
views regarding branch banking:
That branch banks make pos
sible q servcie such as only large
institutions can give is obvious.
The branch bank provides banking
facilities for sections and coKnlnu-
mites which would, otherwise. be
dependent upon small institutions
without services sufficient for the
needs OF their sections.
Like all good things, however.
branch banking can be, and. IN.
o0ubtedly has been, abused by power.

working out to the interest OF the
public welfare .
The above constitute two views
OF the subject, which. after all.
must resolve itself into q matter Of
public convenience and support for,

was read by President John 3.
Larner, OF the company. at the re-
cent annual meeting Of the organi-

STANDARD OIL
HAS new SLAVE
PLAN FOR LABOR
Announces Stock Sale to
Hoodwink Workers

With the end on March 81 of the
Ifive-years employees stock-purchasing
plan Of the Standard Oil company of
Indiana, announcement was made to-
day that the directors have inaugural
ed a new plan, slightly different from
the first Employees of the Midwest
Refining company, with headquarters
at Denver, and of the Dixie Oil COM
pany, with headquarters at Shreve-
port, La, subsidiaries of the Stand
ard, are included.
Under the expiring plan 1890 en-
ployes have purchased 100000 shares
of capital stock, valued at S25,35O,O 900,
making them owners of AZ per cent
of the total stock. The new plan will
run three years. Employees may sub
scribe up to ten per cent of their
wages or salaries for stock. The
company will continue to contribute
so cents for every dollar invested in
stock by employees.
Stock Control an Illusion.
That the whole scheme is an illu-
sion so far as the employee stock hold
ers having any control Of the corpo-
Iration is concerned shows ON the
face of it. Assuming that the $4,000
iemployes had equal stock holdings
Imanifestly the higher paid acquired a
much larger number of shares than
the ordinary worker in its employ
that would have given each employe
26 shares. AS the total of 100000
shares owned by the employees was
according to the company's own state
ment but Az per cent of the stock
this would make the total number OF
shares approximately 100000. All
individual employee stakeholder would
be lost in such total like a needle
in haystack. Even the whole 800,
600 shares, If voted as a unit,-whicl
they are would not have the
slightest influence.
Actual Results Nil.
The actual results Of the stock pur
chases by the employees are to Civ
them a few dollars a year in divi
dends while at the same time making
them afraid to ask for a cent in
crease in their wages or to take an,
organized action to protect their in
terests. On the other hand their pun
chases, even on the installment bs
sis, furnishes the corporation wit
millions of dollars in working capita
and assures the company of devote,
wage slaves for years to come.

pened to visit Passaic, N j., and
saw the textile strike. He is not a
radical or a member of the Young

the scenes he saw in that battlefield
of the class struggle induced him to

PASSAIC, N. Jas the cry of a
babe for food must have an immediate
response from its mother, so must the
entire working class listen to the call
of the 10000 textile strikers in Pas
sale. These strikers are inflicted with
punishment instituted by the multi
millionaires who are not only en-
deavoring to reduce the wages of the
workers but are endeavoring to take
away the last bit of food from these
strikers. This cry Of distress must be
audible by every labor organization
by every sympathizer for these work
men, and by every person who car
