 The tests conducted, Prof. Burgess said, showed modern rigid airship has great strength and safety for rough weather. The experts decided that nothing short of a whirwind or tor ado could destroy such ship
 Investigation of the strusses in the Los Angeles in the portion of the craft where the Shenandoah broke, showed that only circular motion of the air at high velocity could have caused the disaster. Such conditions, it was ass erted, are very rare
 The technicians in making the tests used instruments specially developed and constructed 1by the national adTi- sory committee for aeronautics and bureau of standards at an approximate cost of S1OO,OO0.

Millions Paid
For Benefits
By the Unions
Death and Old Age Pensions
Lead the List Which Is
Far Reaching

Washington, D. C. = In 1925
the standard national and inter-
national trade unions of this
country paid $20,516,312.93 in
benefits.
This total has been compiled by the
A. F. of L. and is now published.
Death benefits lead with total of
$11 ,020,652.55. Old age pensions is
next, with $2,823,145.45. Unemploy-
ment benefits were 81 ,32705, and
sick benefits, $1,842,292.48. Other
benefits total $2,220,932.O5. These
were for disability, tuberculosis, death
of wives and various educational ac-
tivities.
This compilation indicates the far
reaching activities of trade unionism
and is an answer to those who ignore
organized labor's social worth, its cul-
tural value and it's power to sue
cessively protest against injustice.

end this social blight. In referring
to arguments for and against the
Volstead act, the court said:
at is in no sense the province or
duty of a court to waive the merits
of legislation, but it may be said
there is excellent reason to believe
that the law assailed will in reality
serve an important and beneficial end
in that it will be the medium for the
ascertainment of the sentiment of the
people not merely on the subject Of
prohibition but more specifically on
the question as to the modification of
the Volstead act.
"The Volstead act is not an un-
changeable or unrepealable law. The
power that made it can repeal it and
remake it, and the discussions which
are sure to follow as a result of the
proposed submission will lead to an
intelligent and thoughtful considera-
ton by the people as to what, if any
thing, should be done respecting q
problem of complexity and a matter
of vital Importance"

Green Favors Study Classes to
Aid Anti-Child Labor War

Washington, D. C.-In a let
ter to city central bodies, Pres
ident Green suggests the forma-
tion of speakers classes to train
workers to explain the need for
federal regulation of child labor.
He says there has been a general
relaxation in the control of child lab
or since the child labor amendment
was temporarily blocked. President
Green will furnish literature and de-
tailed information to meet the prob
lens of each locality.
"The need of educating public opin-
ion on the subject of child labor is
made increasingly evident by recent
Investigations" he said. "The 1920
census showed that over 100000
children between 10 and Is years of
age were employed in industry and
agriculture, and studies since then
have shown that in Jersey City, last
year, 1000 children were doing sweat
shop labor in their homes. Most of
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-08-27

these children were under IA years
old, and many of them 6 and 7, and
even years.
"The oyster and shrimp canneries
of the south depend on young chill
dren. They are more active than
their elders and can be hired for a
very small wage. In every one of
the 81 canneries visited violations of
The law were found, even in states
which had relatively high child labor
standards. Scores of cases like
these could be cited"
President Green urges the various
city central bodies to act on his sug-
gestion, that a public opinion may be
developed. The first essential is to
reach the local unions, and to train
members to present the information.
"The need in this matter can not
be too strongly emphasized" con-
cludes the A. F. of L. executive.
"The problem is labor's problem, the
children are our children and we must
depend upon our local unions to pro-
tect them from exploitation"

Rubber Trust
Would Control
the Philippines
The People Object to Plan OF
Exploiting Resources as
Contemplated

Washington, D. C.-The next
congress will reject all admins
tration measures designed to ex-
plot the Philippine Islands and
to strengthen the hands of Gov
ernor General Wood, is the pre-
diction of Pedro Guevara, resi-
dent commissioner of the Phil
ippine Islands.
The two most important bills have
been introduced by Congressman
Kiess and Bacon.
The Kiess bill provides that all rev.
enues-now aggregating $500, 600 per
annum-c collected in the United States
on imports from the Philippines, shall
be placed at the disposal of the gov
ernor general rather than the Philip
pine legislature. Governor General
Wood and the legislature are in
state of constant war. He has We
toed important measures passed by
the Filipino lawmakers, and the
Kiess bill is intended to place at the
disposal of the governor general vast
sums of money now controlled by ms
opponents.
The Bacon bill, also opposed by
the Filipinos, is designed to turn
large sections of these islands over to
the rubber trust This territory would
be under control of the United States.
The Filipinos object to the rubber
barons having a free hand to ,estab,,
lish peonage, exploit their people and
their resources. They insist on re-
tanning some measure of control.

People May Vote on Federal Law;
Court Holds Plan Is Educational

New York = Supreme Court
Justice Grain has ruled that cit
izens may hold a referendum to
ascertain public opinion on an
act passed by congress.
The decision upholds the proposed
statewide referendum on the Vol
stead law. The suit was based on the
claim that the referendum, provided
by the New York legislature, is un-
constitutional and therefore the
money spent for the election would
constitute waste of funds which af-
fected taxpayers.
Justice Grain upholds the law in
every particular and dismissed the
waste of funds" claim by the state
ment that the cost would be very
slight.
The court took cognizance Of the
evils that follow the intemperate use
of intoxicating liquors and the par
tisanship it has developed between

The people out West Main

It is said to be his daily GUS

blow shank's mare or dig down

Just why "King No. l" don't

JUDGE LAYS CRIME
AT COURTS DOORS

New York-Banditry and a general
disrespect for law was laid at the
door of courts affected by the pleas
of persons having a political or So
cial pull" by Judge Sheppard OF
Pensacola, Fla, in an address to the
federal grand jury in Brooklyn.
"If there is any respect for law
courts must do their duty" said
Judge Sheppard. "It is because there
are courts that have not done their
duty that we now have more disre-
spect for law, not only in New York
but throughout the nation.
GAS long as there are persons high
in political and social standing will
ing and able to intercede for crimin-
ais, to have their sentences mitigat-
ed or to set them free, there will be
increase in disrespect for law and an
increase in banditry."

Standard Oil Wins
Important Point

Washington, D. C.-The Standard
Oil Company of California has secur-
ed an injunction restraining Secre-
tary of the Interior Work from in
terferring with the famous Elk Hills
oil reserve. The order was issued by
Justice James Francis Smith.
The effect of this decision is a de-
nial of those who insist that Secretary
of the Interior Fall had "miscon-
ception of the law" when he signed
the oil leases under the Harding re-
gime. The decision is also the first
to uphold Fall in long series of cour
battles.
Judge Smiths order is based ON
judgments contrary to other courts.
and the whole question, together with
Teapot Dome, is destined to be fought
out in the courts for years. Millions
of dollars are involved.

High Profits
May Create a
Wage Unrest
Evidences of New Records Are
Appearing in Business
and Industry

New York-The Magazine of
Wall Street fears record profits
of large corporations "are CIV
ing ammunition to agitation for
a revision of wages upward"
This financial authority assures it's
readers that while no one expects a
downward revision" of wages, sit
seems difficult to believe that the
economic condition of the country will
permit higher wages"
The record profits are referred to
as "very satisfactory earnings" be-
cause of mass production alta small
profit per unit that does not hold
good for the rank and file of business
men.
Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, an Off
cial of a Cleveland financial house
and considered an economic author
ity, says there are indications of new
records being made in freight car
loadings, building construction, steel
output, automobile production, bank
clearings and electric power consump-
ton. He further says that it is prob
able that the countrywide volume OF
industrial and transportation profits
will be larger this year than ever be-
fore.
"In the past quarter of century
in this country" he said, periods of
business prosperity have terminated
and given way to decline and depres-
sion, with advancing prices, commod-
ity speculation, competition for labor,
car shortages on the railroads, over
production by industries and credit
stringency. No such disquieting
SYMPTOMS are now appearing"

This publicity forced the government

to meet attacks on their living stan
dards.

Sufferings Of
British Workers
Beyond Belief
Delegation Visits the United

Assistance

Washington, D. C.-Ben Til
lett, member of the. general
council of the British Trades
Union Congress, told a harrow
ing tale of suffering by British
workers, their wives and chill
dren to a group of trade union
executives in this city.
Mr.. Tillett is one of a party of
British organized workers who are in
this country to secure financial aid
for the miners. He said he and his
colleagues were compelled to come to
America. "There is no relief in Eur
ope," he said.
Ever since the end of the World
War, he said, the workers in his
country have been waging an uphill
fight. Wages have been reduced and
they started with an unemployment
list of 100000 persons. This has
been increased and with their low
wages when the miners were locked
out, and with the general strike that
