Big Force in Field
Certain technical obstacles which
arose last year due to the re-organi-
cation Of the Bureau Of Mines and
the Geological Survey, were cleared
away some months ago at the time
Mr.. Stewart visited Washington, d. c.,
which trip was made for the purpose
of discussing them. Arrangements
were stabilized and the work is now
going ahead in an effective manner.
By means of the agreement reached
at Washington, one Of the largest
field forces in the history of the bu-
reau has been employed this season
and which is still in the field.
This force includes N. L. WINNER,
Convey Shepard, ]. H. Townsend and
Frank H. Holzheimer. With the ex-
ception of the latter all have been
employed in the field by the bureau
in the past.

Mr.. Townsend, the last to take the
field has been covering the Alaska
railroad belt since July. He is now
in the Valdez creek country.

QUEBEC SHOE BOSSES
In Drive to Force Open Shop
on TOilers

By international Labor News Service.
Montreal Although they agreed
to submit their wage-cutting program
to arbitration, four large boot and
shoe manufacturers of Quebec city
even before the arbitration board was
formed began to bring in non-union
workers from other places and put
them to work at reduced rates. This
caused strike of the employees of the
four factories, who are members of
the National and Catholic Union.
The four manufacturers are deter
mined to enforce the open shop, as
we'll as cut wages. The arbitrary ac-
tion of the employers is forcing the
Quebec workers to realize the weak
ness of isolation, and there is already
talk of reorganizing under the Inter
national Boot and Shoe Workers
Union. Years ago, under very similar
circumstances, Montreal boot and shoe
workers abandoned their independent
unions, and linked up with the inter
national, through which they have
greatly improved their position.

PROPERTY CONFIS-
CATION HANDED
TO ANTI-FASCISTS

Rome, Italy.-The Italian senate
has adopted Mussolini's plan to con-
fiscate property of Italian citizens who
reside in other countries and who op-
pose fascism. Loss of citizenship is
also provided. The act has been ap-
proved by the Italian chamber Of
deputies.
The senate was assured that it is
Mussolini's intention to apply the
measure with prudence and modera-
ton"
Under this law any citizen of Italy
residing in the United States who ex-
poses the methods of Mussolin will be
penalized by the loss of property he
may own in Italy, and also lose his
citizenship.
Mussolini's worldwide spy system,
operating through fascist centers, will
forward this information to the die
tator.

FUNDS APPRO-
PRIATED FOR
ARMS DELEGATES

Washing ngton.-Congress has voted
$4,000 to pay the expenses of an
American delegation to Geneva that
will join with representative of other
nations in preparing program for
the proposed world army-reduction
conference.
The conference will endeavor to ad-
just intricate technical disputes on
what constitutes a nations armament.
Since the world war, military experts
are agreed that the productive powers
of country, it's raw material, geo.
graphical location and it's transporta-
tion systems, are all part of national
armament. The problem is to equalize
these elements and reduce armies ac-
cordingly.
The question of what is military
aviation and what is commercial avia-
tion are also included, as well as the
strength of European nations that
have large standing armies because
of their colonial possessions.

UNCLE SAM COUCED
BY Soft Coal Operators
Since Anthracite Shut
Down

Washington. - Non-uniOn bitumi-
nous operators of West Virginia have
trebled the price of coal sold to the
government, since the anthracite
shut down, according to the chief en-
gineer of the government fuel yards,
testifying before a joint congressional
committee.
Mr.. Pope said he bought coal from
Fayette and Mcdowell counties, last
March, for $2.41 d 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 nom
union basis, "to protect the public"
Edgar Wallace, member of the
United Mine Workers, and legislative
representative of the A F. 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 Sal
coal He declared also that there had
been tremendous drop in freight
rates from the West Virginia field
during the last six months, none of
which has been subtracted from the
consumers bill.
Charles p Selden, Jr., a Pennsyl-
vania mine operator, and w. w. Grif-
fifth, a local coal dealer, staged
wordy row before the committee on
who is responsible for gouging the
public. The operator said the coal
merchant sold him ton of coke last
November for SIS which cost him but
$4 The merchant assured the COM
mittee that in turnover of $685., $50
he made profit of only 2 cents on
the dollar. He refused to tell the
committee the period of the turn
over. The committee wanted to know
the exact number of business days,
but the merchant said that this was
"immaterial"

Lincoln's Faith in
American Principles
Never Lost Sight of Truth
in Declaration of
independence.

Lincoln invoked the Declaration Of
independence In his efforts to check
the spread of slavery, but just as
those who framed 1t uttered a maxim
intended for all time, when merely
seeking separation from Britain, SO
Lincoln reiterated an eternal and
universal truth, and believed in it
as such, Judge Charles G. Simons
writes, in the Detroit News.
Il had thought the Declaration con-
templated the progressive improve
ment in the condition Of all men
everywhere" he said And he knew
that 1t would outliye the death of
slavery. just as the trainers intend
ed it should outlive their successful
separation from Britain
He closed his Springfield speech
with this stirring appeal, after read
las Interpolation Are you willing
that the Declaration should thus be
frittered away?-thus left no more,
at most, than an interesting memento
Of the dead ast?-thus shorn of its
vitality and practical value, and left
without the germ or even the sug-
gestion Of the individual rights of
man in it?"
Three years later, on Washington's
birthday, Lincoln, President-elect,
stood in Independence hall, PhiladeI-
phia on his way to the Inauguration
at Washington. Doesn't it, somehow,
stir the blood and fire the Imagination
to think of Lincoln on the spot where
the immortal Declaration was given
to the world? II have often inquired
principle or idea 1t was that kept
this Confederacy so long together 1t
was not the mere matter of separa-
tion of the colonies from the mother
land, but that sentiment in the Dec
laration of Independence which gave
liberty not alone to the people of
this country, but hope to all the
world for all future time
Faith Again Voiced.
Speaking to the soldiers of an Ohio
regiment toward the close Of the war,
Lincoln again voiced his faith in the
American principle. 1T is in order
that each Of you may have, through
this free government which we have
enjoyed, an open field and a fair
chance for your industry, enterprise
and intelligence, that you may all
have equal privileges in the race Of
life, with all its desirable human as
pirations. 1t is for this the struggle
should be maintained, that we may
not lose our birthright."

trasts and anomalies 1t was Gu

declares A. w. Sanders, an industrial
psychologist of Great Britain, in an
article on industrial psychology in the
Journal of Industrial Hygiene. Mr..
Sanders adds that the chief problem
confronting employers is "how to

psychology can help to attain this end.

ed production in American factories
in 1925, as compared with 1919. De-
spite the increase of nearly third in
output, the board reports that there
are fewer workers employed and that
those at work are paid but per cent
more than in 1919.
Such great increase in produc-
ton must be disposed of either here
or abroad" declares the department
of social action of the National Cath
olic Welfare Council.
1T is not being sold here" con-
tinues the department, because la
bor's wages have not gone up enough
for them to buy their share of it.
Neither can the farmers buy
their share of the goods because they
are far worse off now than six years
ago, and many of them, though bet
ter situated than a couple of years
ago, are practically IN bankruptcy.
Seeing the great prosperity of the
country, and realizing that they are
not sharing in it adequately, the work
ing people in their unions are con-
cluding that there is only one thing
for them to do. They must ask for
a share of the increased production.
1T all comes back to the great
wealth of the United States and the
fact that large sections of the Amer
ican people are not sharing equally
in the wealth we produce.
''The largest sections of the people
that are falling short are the wage
earners, the lesser salaried workers
and the farmers. Of these three, the
farmers and the lesser salaried work
ers are falling farthest behind"

c4brdhan Lincoln

This man whose homely face you look
upon,
Was one of Natures masterful, great
men;
Born with strong arms, that unfought
battles won,
Direct of speech, and cunning with the
pen.
Chosen for large designs, he had the art
Ofwinning with his humor, and he went
Straight to his mark, which was the hui
man heart;
Wise, too, for what he could not break
he bent.
Upon his back more than Atlas-load,
The burden of the Commonwealth, was
laid;
He stopped, and rose up to 1t, though
the road
Shot suddenly downward, not a whit
dismayed.
Hold, warriors, councillors, kings!
All now give place
To this dead Benefactor of the race!

posed new home of the The Peoples
Building andsLoan Associate gives
an idea of the beauties-to to-be of the
handsome new building to be erected

mocation and comfort of its patrons
All contracts for the building were
let Monday evening, and it is pleas
ing to note they were awarded to
Hamilton contractors, and what is
more pleasing to local organized la
Dor is that they all employ none but
union labor. The building will be
erected by none but union labor
throughout. Those to 90 the work
