Do you not think it was harsh and
unnatural for Jesus to say that If
any man come unto Me and hate not
his father and mother, and his
own life also. he cannot be My dis
ciple" (St. Luke, Xiv.2S)?
Answer-No, Our Lord frequently
stated vital truths in a startling and
uncompromiSing manner, leaving
those who heard them to supply the
necessary qualifications. In the pas
sage quoted He simply gave forcible
expression to the Christian duty of
self denial in behalf of the highest
attainable life.
His constant emphasis on love as
tho indestructible bond of society
should protect this particular saying
from misunderstanding. 1t means
that not even the nearest ties must
restrain His disciples from fulfilling
their obligations to the spiritual king
dom He established on the earth.

What do we know about South

regrettable but not surprising. The

STREET CAR men
In Capitol City to Receive
Belated Protection

Washington-The court of appeals
of the District of Columbia has decid-
ed that local street car company
can not violate law of congress
passed in 1905 requiring all street
car companies to close in the fronts
of their cars for the protection of the
motormen.
The street car company persisted in
putting into use from time to time
cars of a last century vintage equip
ped with front windshields only, leav-
ing the sides exposed.
Last year, 20 years after the enact
ment of the law, member of con-
gress who had some consideration for
the comfort of the motormen protest
ed to the public utilities commission
against the street car magnates' flag
rant violation of the law.
The commission instituted belated
prosecution of the offending company,
which was convicted in the lower
court. The conviction has now been
affirmed by the court of appeals. Un-
less the company determines to take
the case to the supreme court of the
United States, the motormen will
hereafter have the protection con-
gress prescribed.

The postmaster general wants one
certain life insurance company to

Relief Plan Of Bricklayers
Provides Generous Benefits
For 2,776 Men and Women

By international Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-Figures just
made public for the first time show
the operation of the benefit system
adopted in January, 1914, by the
Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers'
international Union. According to
Secretary John j. Gleeson, there are
now 2,776 men and women drs wing
weekly benefits through the relief de-
partment of the organization
Of the total number of persons
drawing benefits, 676 are widows,
2,013 are members drawing old age
benefits and n are members drawing
disability benefits. Each beneficiary
in all classifcations draws ST per
week. The total amount being paid
out in benefits per week is 19,432.
These were the figures as of Decem-
Der 81.
System Authorized in 1914
The benefit or relief system was
adopted by the Bricklayers, Masons
and Plasterers' International Union
at its convention in January, 1914,
and was put into effect a year later.
An assessment of % cents per men,
Der per month was levied to cover the
cost of operating the new department.
In 1916 this was increased to so cents
per member and in 1922 it was in
creased to 70 cents. At the outset the
benefit paid was $5 per member per
week, but in 1922 this was increased
to 81, the present figure.
The retirement age is so years. 1t
is recognized, of course, that the num-
Der of members eligible to retirement
benefits will increase as the years
pass by, but the actuarial probabilities
were taken into account when the fund
was established The benefit paid
upon the death of member varies ac-
cording to the length of membership.
The minimum amount is $50 A bene-
ficiary is entitled to this minimum
amount if the deceased member had
been on the rolls of the organization
six months. The mortuary benefit in
creases as follows: $3.50 after a mem
bership of one year, 5000 after a
membership of five years, and $500 is
the maximum after a membership of
over ten years.

TAXES CUT
WITH TREASURY AID

Washington.-Sinc Andrew Mellon
has been secretary of the treasury,
the aluminium trust, in which Mr..
Mellon is interested, has saved fully
S2,500,000 in taxes. The treasury de-
partment has made every effort to
block an investigation.
This double charge is made by the
special senate committee that has in
vestigated the internal revenue bu-
reau. Senator Couzens, of Michigan,
is chairman of the committee.
The report calls attention to the
company's secrecy of its earnings,
profits and disbursements. Treasury
officials permitted the company, it is
stated, to deduct from taxable in
come more than S15,O00,000 as 'amor-
tization"-an amount that the COM
mittee's counsel declared to be s'gross-
ly excessive" and which permitted the
saving of $2,500,O00.

CONDEMN DEVICE
OF Tax Dodgers in Senate

Washington. - Consolidated re-
turns" is one of the effective but ques-
tionable devices by which influential
corporations reduce their income taxes
without the knowledge Of the public.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, points
out that four Pittsburgh banking con-
Germs in which Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon is interested had their in
come taxes reduced sol, 600 by this
means.
''The returns Of these corporations
were secret" Norris said Nobody
knew anything about them and they
never saw the light of day and no
body would have known anything
about it had it not been for the in
vestigation of the Couzens commit
tee."
Senator Couzens charged that un-
der the consolidated returns" scheme
the publisher of the Saturday Evening
Post had offset the profits on that pub
lication against the losses on the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger and thus
avoided a good sized income tax.

every Ward factory was unionized.
But that was in the formative stages.
When Ward got where he could dom
mate, bing! went labor and label. The
years of 1919 and 1920 were hectic
ones around the big bread factories in
New York. Finally with some dis
sension in the ranks, with the intro
duction of more and more machinery,
so that bread making is largely me-
chanical, Ward defeated labor and his

GREEN SUSPENDS
Railway Clerks Union
Noncompliance With
Convention Rule
Cause

Washington.-Complying with de-
cision by the last convention of the
A. F. of L., President Green an
nounces the suspension of the Broth
erhood of Railway Clerks from the
American Federation of Labor.
The suspension stands until the
clerks comply with the convention de-
cision that they yield control of chauf-
feurs and teamsters to the Brother
hood of Teamsters. The question has
been under discussion for months. AS
is the usual policy in such cases, Off
GERS of the A. F. of L. have made
every effort to induce the clerks to
maintain the trade union policy.
In explaining the teamsters' posi-
tion at the last convention, President
Tobin, of that brotherhood, pointed
out the provisions of their charter, is
sued by the A F. of L., which grants
them control over this class of work.
This charter was issued years before
the Clerks Union was chartered.
I'VE don't want clerks, but we do
insist that teamsters and chauffeurs
be in one organization" said President
Tobin "You might as well take our
charter if you are going to give to
every organization part of the mem
bership that works under the jurisdic-
tion Of our international. We come in
touch with every trade. We haul lum-
ber to the carpenter, metal pipe to the
plumber, paper to the printer, dry
goods and shoes to the retail clerks,
leather to shoe factories, and we haul
to the railroads hundreds of thousands
tons of freight shipped by the express
company. We ask jurisdiction over
these drivers and chauffeurs. We can
not have them here and not have them
there; we are entitled to them every
where or we are not entitled to them
at ALL"
In announcing the suspension Of the
railway clerks, President Green ex-
pressed regret over this lack Of ac-
cord in the final decision of organized
labor's last court of appeal.

The relief plan of the Bricklayers,

Union is one of the most pretentious

ously than most labor organizations

Building Associations Financed
100000 New Homes Last Year
Billion and Half Dollars Loaned for Construction
Million Workers Dependent on Industry-22 Per Cent
of All Labor Engaged in Building Branch.

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-In 1925 the
$4,000 building and loan associations
of the United States, with eight and
one-half million members and nearly
{. $5,000,0O in assets, loaned for the
purchase or construction of new homes
about $1,000, 100000, which it is es-
timated financed 100000 American
homes during that year, declares c..
Clinton James, president of the
United States League of Building and
Loan Associations.
The housing shortage created by the
war, Mr.. James said, has been allevi-
ated to certain extent, but it has not
been fully met, and the building and
loan associations are unable to fully
supply the demands for loans for this
purpose. There has been an increased
demand for funds for residential
building, which is the class of con-
struction largely financed by these
associations.
Some idea of the present scope of
the building industry may be gained
by a statement recently made by Sec
retary Of Labor James j. Davis in
which he said, More than 100000
of our people are dependent for their
living upon the construction industry,
skilled labor in the country is engaged
in the building branch alone. Some
250,O00 freight cars were required to
