The toll in the United States last
year due to accidents was $4,000 lives

careful, cautious contractor who
thinks of his skilled men in terms of

are based on records, and in New York
state a careful employer can save 80
to 40 per cent of his insurance rate
if he has clean slate in his account

Lack of cooperation between the

Now, no decent person wants dirty

The whole argument against CEN

freedom which we have come to ac-

There is no censor who can be trusted
to protect freedom.
In the very nature of censorship, it
keeps hewing as close to the line as
possible, censoring as much as pos
sible, never trying to see how much
can be allowed to pass. Censorship
strives to protect morals Ito the best

censoring) and never strives to pro-

there for.

called September Morn" and made
national fame for it?
That picture, according to recent
press agent confession, was going fiat
on the market and so a press agent
stunt was fixed up. A group of boys
was to get together to stare at the
picture and make suggestive grim
aces while Anthony was routed out
and brought to the spot to look upon
the youngsters in horror. The fame
of the picture was made.
So goes prudery when it assumed
the garb of official censorship. What

and also too often by an unhealthy

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-The organized
railroad workers of Cuba have voted
enthusiastically to join the Pan
American Federation of Labor and
help in the work of organizing the
toilers of all Latin-American coun-
tries
The decision to join the Pan -Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Was taken
at the first annual congress of the
National Railroad Brotherhood of
Cubay held at Camaguey In re-
sponse to cablegram from the Pan
American Federation of Labor, invit-
| ing the Cuban railroad workers to
join the federation, the congress voted
to affiliate.
William Green, president, and San
tiago Iglesias, Spanish language sec
retary, respectively, of the Pan
| American Federation of Labor, were
| notified of the action of the congress
in cablegram which said:
| Congress resolved to affiliate Ma
tional Railroad Brotherhood to the
Pan American Federation of Labor
We consider our union with the la
Dor movement of Pan-America as q
step toward economic liberty of the
Cuban workers and the maintenance
of public liberties. Our affiliatior

RAIL MANAGERS
BOLT own ''UNION''

New York.-The Association of
Railway Managers have secession
movement on their hands. The bolt
is headed by President Loree, of the
Delaware & Hudson.
After an all-day session of the asso-
citation, the seceders failed to amend
the railroad labor bill, now pending
in the senate, so that the interstate
commerce commission will control
wages.
The Insurgents claim that as the
bill now stands freight rates may be
increased. ~They want the |. C. C. to
pass on wages, after the managers
and employees reach an agreement
They are supported by the National
Association of Manufacturers, the
National Grange and the American
Farm Bureau.
The bill provides for mediation and
then arbitration. 1t has been agreed
to by 80 per cent of the nations rail
road mileage and the l6 standard
railroad organizations. 1t has passed
the house and has been approved by
senate committee.

ARTICLE VI.

correspondent OF Ine star.
The question of whether Quebec's s
liquor law has beenka success depends
entirely upon how success is gagged.
Ii success means decreasing the con-
sumption of intoXicants, the law has
not been successful. If it means less
enlng the evils usually accompanying
the consumption of intoxicants, it has
been successful In part. If 1t means
law which encourages temperance
and which satisfies the ma iority of
those for whom the law is made, II
has been entirely successful. For, de.
spite the protests of those who have
been working toward prohibition for
many years in Quebec. the law salts
fies the majoriety. 1t is what the
people asked for. and what they OBJ
tained. 1t lies within the power of
the people to change the law any
time they see fit. And the sentiment
everywhere is that the law as it
stands is what the people want
After all, prohibition is a matter of
taste. 1t is comparable, in a way, to
the question of putting sugar on ice
cream. Those who do not believe in
sugaring ice cream will never be con-
vinced that 1t is a custom which
should he condoned. Those who put
sugar on their ice cream will never
warran mt the slightest protest against
or condemnation of their practice
Those who believe in prohibition are
as much disguised with Quebec's law
as those in the United States who do
not believe in prohibition are disgusted
with the Volstead act. But the differ.
ence between the situation in Quebec
and in the United States is that in
Quebec the government, responding to
what 1t considered the preponderance
of opinion. discarded prohibition and

is watchful for a change in public sen.
timent which will lead to another

United States, responding to the will
of the people as expressed by their
constituted representatives, adopted a
form of total prohibition and there Is

not.
The province of Quebec Is about one
fourth the size of the United States
in area. In the province there are

which through the law have the right
to decide whether they shall be wet or
dry. OF these 800 municipalities only
260 are wet. But the population rep
resented in these go municipalities
is as great as that which lives in all
the others. Now. the drys will tell
you that the rural districts are dry
and want prohibition, that they do not
permit the establishment in their
communities of government liquor
stores. taverns or hotels. This con.
veys the impression that in the rural
districts the country folk are dead set
against the consumption of liquor in
any form. But there is another side
to this which the drys do not mention.
That is the fact that many of these
small municipalities are not large
enough TO support a tavern or hotel
where beer or wine might be sold: that
if an establishment OF that nature were
placed i'm one of the small communi
ties il would prove burden and

them because those Inhabitants who

wine or whisky may order it by mail
and have it delivered at their doors
In other words, they may enjoy the
blessings of being dry and at the same

CONSIDER REMOVAL
Of ARMS EMBARGO
Officials Here to Ask Decision
by President in Case
of Mexico.

BY the Associated Rress.
Removal of the embargo which for.
bids shipment of arms into Mexico
is under considera ton here, and Pres
ident Coolidge will be asked to decide
whether such a step shall be taken.
There are indications that some
time NAV elapse before a decision is
made. Meantime the State Depart
ment refuses to disclose it's views on
the subject, meeting all inquiries
with the terse statement that the
embargo still is in effect.
Extreme caution has resulted from
the fact that the restriction has come
up for decision at time when the
situation in Mexico is perhaps as tense
| as when the embargo was proclaimed
| in 1924, and now is complicated by re.
ligious issues between the govern
| ment and churches of that country4
Expects Easier Situation.
1t is known. however, that some
| officials of the Washington Govern
| ment. despite announcement that
Mexican troops are being held in read
mess for action. confidently believe
the situation will quickly moderate.
Because of these circumstances a
| decision on cancellation of the EN-
| barge is not expected until conditions
| in the southern republic show a more
| definite trend.
Confirmation that the question Of
| cancellation is under consideration
came as a surprise to diplomatic
| Washington.
The recent modification of the en-
barge which permitted American ex-
porters to make shipments of sui
phuric acid to Mexico without obtain
! ing special permits was said at the
time by both the State and Treasury
| Departments to be entirely without
relation to the embargo order as a
whole. Statements to that effect were
reiterated at the Treasury Depart
ment.
Order Issued i'm 1924.
Reports from Tampico as late as
yesterday that the embargo with
| drawal was under consideration met
with similar denials.
The embargo order was issued in
| 1924, when the De la Huerta revolu-
ton was in progress, and was design
ed principally to prevent American
arms reaching revolutionists. 1t pro-
hibited any private arms shipments
into Mexico from the United States.
| At the same time the Washington
| Government itself gave direct sup
port to the Mexico City government
| by selling to it several thousand serv-
| ice rifles and some machine guns and
| military airplanes.
