HEROIC TELEPHONE OPERATORS

Two more telephone girls risked
their lives in an effort to save a man
from death. They tried to climb a
burning stairway in a storehouse in
White Plains to warn a sleeping work
man. In the meantime, other "hello''
girls remained at their post in the
smoke-filled telephone building adj
joining.
We are inclined to forget these lit
tie acts Of heroiSm when we get a
wrong number, but the fact remains
that there are few girls more loyal
and conscientious than telephone OPP
orators. Alert, and keen. they are al
their switchboardS, all over the land
day and night They feel their re-
sponsibility, and without their con-
slant service in our modern exist
ence, business would practically stop,
newspapers would have TO 90 back to
one edition a day and the whole coun-
try would suffer.
Don't snap at the "hello' girl when
you get a wrong number. In our bus
mess life we could not get along with
out her.

LABOR ENDORSES SMITH

Peoria laboring people, as repre-
sentei by the Peoria Trades and Labor
ssembly at their regular semi-month-
~ meeting at Labor Temple last Mon
day night, unanimously endorsed
Frank l.. Smith of Dwight for Uni
ted States senator.
Laboring men, as a rule, are slow
to hand out endorsements of political
nature. But when it comes to a prop
osition of endorsing a fair minded man
for the United States senate there
should be no hesitation. The record
of Mr.. Smith in his past performance
on labor legislation has been one that
any laboring man can look on and
say that he has been exceedingly fair
to the toilerS of this state. Legisla-
ton, next to trade union solidarity
on the industrial field, is the biggest
question the laboring man and wo-
man has to face today. Therefore il
is paramount question for them to
take up. Mr.. Smith has been tried on
his record and has proven true blue
to the cause of the people and that
is why the Illinois State Federation
of Labor has give nhteir o. X. to his
candidacy. We are glad to see the
Trades Assembly take the action that
1t did in unanimously endorsing Mr..
Smith for the senate-Peoria Labor

Z. o. Workers Oppose
News Insurance Plan

Washington, Feb. 10.--Oficers of
postal workers unions told a house
committee that the government should
not act as recruiting agency for a
private insurance company.
The postmaster general wants one
certain life insurance company to
have a monopoly Of group insurance
for postal employees. With this pres
tige the company would practically
have a monopsy on other life insur'
ance among these employees.
President Gainor of the letter car.
riers, President Collins of the railwa!
clerks, and Secretaly-Treasurer Flah
erty of the postal clerks suggested Il
the committee that if the government
is going into the insurance business il
should go all the way" and operate il
under government supervision rather
than serve as booster for private
concerns, interested in profits.
"lf the postmaster general wants tt
give postal employees the lowest pos
sble INSURANCE rates, the government
should handle the business directly
the unionists stated.
The witnesses explained their Owl
insurance systems to the committee
While expressing appreciation Of The
postmaster generals concern for the
employees insurance problems, Mr.
Flaherty said that the questions Of
night work and the elimination o.
speed-up systems are far more urgen
and should have prior consideration
These changes, he said, would ado
from four to five years to the longev
ty Of the clerical group, and is of fal
more Importance than a small reduc
ton in insurance costs.

Soviets Admit They Can't
Meet Trade Union Terms
BY International Labor News Servic,

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 10.-Am-
Sterdam, according to word received
here, has for the time being held the
Soviets at bay on the score of admis-
sion into the International Federation
Of Tradt Unions.
The Soviet authorities have de-
clined to accept the terms laid down
by Amsterdam and stand pat on their
original position that they must come
into the International Federation
without preliminary conditions.
The British delegates to Amster-
dam sought 10 bring about uncondi-
tional admission of the Soviet So
called unions, but were unable IL
overcome the opposition of France
Belgium and some of the other cour .
tries to such fragrant denial of tn
historic trade union position in de
Tense of human freedom. Consequent
ly the secretariat at Amsterdam had
to inform the Soviets that no I'M
conditional admission was possible
Thereupon the Soviets fell back upon
their original position, deciding that
there was no other recourse except to
play the game out on the original
uncompromiSing lines.
The fact that the Soyiets can not
forego their position is the last word
in proof of their real hostility to trade
unionism and their determination TO
crush, if possible, free trade union
ism in the interest of communist
dictatorship.

Observation-Disclosures
KNOW ILLINOIS


The oldest community in Illinois and
the Middle West is kaskaskia, Ran
dolph county. 1t was established in
100 by Jesuit priests and did thriv-
ing fur business with the Indians
Its population in 1920 was 152 inhabi-
tants.
The $50 coal mines within switch
ing distance of Springfield shipped
10000 car loads of coal during 1925
These cars would make train 557
miles long. The mines are all cleo
trically operated.
OF the "a cities and towns in the
United States named for Abraham
Lincoln, only one, Lincoln, Illinois,
was named before the death of the ia
nous president. 1t was named in
Lincoln's office in Springfield in
1858.
More than Sal, 100000 will be
spent for additions and extensions to
existing telephone equipment in Hill
nois during the next five years by
the Illinois Bell Telephon company.
This is an investment of approximate
ly $22 for every person in the state,
or more than Sl39 for every subscrib-
er of the company.
Comparable to the amount of bust
ness done by some of the largest in
dustries in Illinois, the farmers of the
state markted comparatively through
Illinois organizations nearly two bill
lion dollars worth of products during
1925.
If the 3,42S miles of gas mains in
Chicago were laid in a straight line,
the main would extend from Boston

Government GOuged
BY Coal Operators

Washington, Feb. 10.-Non-union
bituminous operators of West Virginia
have trebed the price of coal sold
to the government, since the anthra-
cite shutdown, according to the chief
engineer of the government fuel
yards, testifying before a joint con-
gressonal committee.
Mr.. Pope said he thought coal from
Fayette and Mcdowell counties, last
March, for sal ton, and now he
must pay from $6.16 to $3.50. These
counties are controlled by anti-union
coal baronS who operate on the non
union basis. ''to protect the public"
Edgar Wallace, a member of the
United Mine Workers, and legislative
representative of the A. +. of L., told
the committee that increased prices
for this coal was not due to labor
costs. He said the miners were paid
the same wages for mining $500 coal
that they received for mining $2.4l
coal. He declared also that there
had been a tremendous drop in freight
from the West Virginia field during
the last six months, none Of which has
been substracted from the consum-
er's bill.
Charles 2. Selden, il, a Pennsyl-
vania mine operator, and w. w. Crit
fifth, a local coal dealer, staged a
wordy row before the committee on
who is responsible for gouging the
public. The operator said the coal
merchant sold him a ton of coke last
November for SIS which cost him but
81. The merchant assured the COM
mittee that in a turnover of 1888, 250
he made profit of only cents on the
dollar. He refused to tell the com
mittee the period of the turnover
The committee wanted to know the
exact number of business days, but
the merchant said that this was
'immaterial."

The strike means hunger, indie
seribable suffering and sacrifice. Yet
the miners, loyal to the cause involved
as symboized by the union, have re-
NAMED faithful to their trust.
No more complete answer to the
charge that the labor movement Is
chiefly mateialistic could be given
than the striking anthracite miners.
Far removed from collective bargain
ing and with no opportunity to know
hoN the issues were ial,ng, these men
&C borne the dead weight Of the
sruggle. The cause to them is an
ethical ideal which requires their 10y
atty. The response they give Is a
religious act of nigh order.
Loyalty to the union is to the min
efs religion. Transecndent in the
,thcal code by which they direct then
.aily lives stands the great fact Of
Individual and community life-the
union mat has given them freedom
from feudal conditions that formerly
prevailed and made life a safe and an
orderly procedure.
The whole community owes its pro
gress To the union which took from the
coal companies control over commun-
ity business and finance and made in
dependent enterprise possible. The
business men of the anthracite dis
tricts have also been loyal to the
union.
This manly struggle again makes US
Of the idealism of the human
kind. In defense Of ideals, possess
sions and life itself is sacrificed. II
is a manifestation Of the spiritual law
losing his life to find it. We should
honor the crusading spirit of the
miners and pledge them IN
swerYing support.
