Association to Study
Problems of Nature

The formation of society of
scientists representing all countries
that border on the Pacific ocean,
to be known as the Pacific Science
association, has been announced by
Prof. Herbert E. Gregory of the
Bishop museum of Honolulu.
Meetings are to be held in various
parts of the vast area in which these
men work, at intervals of three
years, when problems relating to
ocean depths and currents, volca-
noes and earthquakes, the plant and
animal life of the sea and its shores,
and all other scientific questions
concerning the Pacific will be dis
cussed. Among the nations now
interested are the United States,
Canada, Japan, China, Russia, Aus
tralia, New Zealand and the Dutch
East Indies. The first steps toward
the establishment of the new organ
ization were taken at the recent
meeting of the Pan-Pacifc Science
congress at Tokyo.

PARLIAMENT FACES
ANGRY WORKERS

London, England Houses of
parliament convened on November 8
for short session before the Christ
mas recess. Efforts will be made to
jam through legislation that will be
contested by the Labor members.
The principal measure that incites
labor's opposition is a proposal to re-
wise unemployment insurance down
ward. This will affect approximately
100000 unemployed and the workers
ask what will become of hungry men
who can not find employment.
The Conservative Party finds it's
prestige dimmed by labor victories in
the recent city and borough elections
throughout England and Scotland.
The result will have an inspiring eff
feet on labor members in the house
of Commons who will take advantage
of every occasion to publish the die
hard policy of the Conservatives. The
Tories must also face growing resent
ment in their own circle by group
of younger Conservatives" who are
outspoken of their criticism of the
elder statesmen. The younger Con-
servatives" joined in the revolt
against Premier Baldwin's proposal
in the last Parliament to weaken the
House of Commons and strengthen
the House of Lords.

INCOME TAX
Favored By British Labor
Party

London, England.-W Wealthy citi-
zens who object to a surtax on the
ground that they carry an lawful
weight of taxation" forget that nearly
one-half of this taxation goes to pay
interest on the national debt, which,
IN the main, is held by them, declared
Ramsey Macdonald.
The leader of the labor party said
that the surtax would be the workers
battlecry in the next general election.
Taxes, he said, is not an actual bur
den to the rich because of the inter
est they receive through holding the
national debt.
Wealthy people must do fair deal
with the nation" said Mr.. MacDon-
aid. when they are taxed they
must be taxed in such way that the
taxes do not go into another pocket
of their own, but go into the COM
mon pool Of national resources which
education, public health and social in
supply the life needs of the nation in
surance.
"The income of those who work,
whether as doctors, ministers, jour
nalists, miners, shopkeepers, or in any
other business or professional capa-
city, is not to be touched by our pro-
posal. 1t simply amounts to this, that
If person is getting $500 ($2,500) a
year or more n Mbm investments, only
that part of his incmoe will be sub
jected to special surtax."

gard to the antitrust laws, it has
denied to its employees the right to
organize and has arbitrarily fixed
their wages and working conditions
Hamilton labor has placed the
products of the National Biscuit
Company on the "We do not patron

Certified bread, the Holland Wonder

"PIOUS MUSH"
Says New York World Edi.
tor of Company
Union"

New York.-"Pious mush" is the
term used by the New York World
in ridiculing the claim of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company that
its hand-picked company union" is
more satisfactory to employees than
the regular trade union.
The Interborough wants the county
supreme court to enjoin President
Green and everyone else from inter
fering with its union" and its vel
low dog.
1T is about time, we believe, for
the management of the Interbborough
to think twice and take stock of it's
knowledge" the World says. "This
is a free country. There is nothing
in its laws to forbid men to attend
union meetings. The men who are
holding these meetings are not even
talking of strike. Such action has
not been thought Of says the presi-
dent of the A. F. of L.
These meetings are not being held
to prepare for war on the Inter
borough. They are being held for the
purpose of attempting to prove to
transit workers that their interests
can be more satisfactorily represented
by bona-fide labor union than by a
toy union under the thumb of the In
terborough management.
I'VE do not believe the pious mush
! of the Interborough that its employees
are more adequately represented by a
union of the Interborough's choosing
than they would be by union OF
| their own choosing. We do not believe
that the Interborough can continue
successfully to dictate to its mer
which union they must choose. We
believe in free choice by each
worker himself as to the union he
will join.
"And if the Interborough declares
war on the issue of forced choice
we believe it will find the sentiment
of this city overwhelmingly on the
other side"

The Interborough Rapid Transit
Company, which is a corporation
chartered by the state of New York
to engage in transportation, asks an
injunction to forbid every member of
the American Federation of Labor
from seeking to unionize the employees
of the corporation, which has a COM
pany union of its own.
The Interborough has no charter
to organize workers. 1t has no au-
thority to spend money for organ
izing company unions. 1t is out OF
its field.
But be that as it may, it has been
truly said that you can't put ma
tion in Jail, which may one of these
days be made to read, you can't re-
strain more than three million mer
and women by the autocratic order OF
court.

The mummy of an eighteen-year-
old Egyptian horse, tremendously
buried in huge wooden coffin some
5000 years ago, has been set up in
the Cairo museum. The old horse
had been carefully wrapped in cloth
and the legs were doubled up and
tied with ropes of papyrus. The
coffin was white, trimmed with bands
of yellow and red. British officials
who found the horse near Sakkara
said that it was a powerfully built
animal in good condition and it ap-
parently was never shod.

ELECTIONS DIFFER

Elections have been held in several
states and in two interesting foreign
countries.
As to American elections, there
are the customary charges of crook
edness in Pennsylvania, which still
faces the Ware issue.
In Nicaragua, under marine guard,
the liberals have won important cleo
tions, showing under the Chamoro
faction which usurped the presidency
and gained the favor of the American
state department. Mr. Kellogg won't
like those election returns, but they
are not the first ones that he hasn't
liked.
In Mexico two candidates who
sought the presidency are buried,
without honors. These men, though
being free to conduct orderly cam
paigns, went into rebellion, and were
defeated as rebels. Who knows what
support from the United States was
promised to one or the other of these
rebels?
Elections differ in various places,
but the ones just held were, in the
main, satisfactory to those who want
progress and tolerance, which are two
of the most important assets demo-
cracy offers.

vltation to every person to join be-

and disaster. Remember Florida, the
Mississippi flood, the st. Louis cy.
clone, the Vermont disaster.
Join-your dollar helps at home
and in the nation. Every person who
took S1.O0 annual membership last
year contributed to the relief of n
disasters in the United States alone.
Fine work!
While the campaign practically
closed on Thanksgiving Day, it is not
yet too late, if you haven't already
done so, to send in your dollar and
join. Show your spirit of service by
joining.
A thing to remember is, that fifty

THE REASON?

hEApo4N.
No wonder the public utility inter-
ests grow hysterical whenever govern
ment ownership or control or anything
savoring in the slightest of govern
ment competition is mentioned. The
utilities are coming money, more and
more each year, and they have a
fainting spell if there is suggestion
of curbing their swollen profits.
This year is giving a good example
of soaring utility profits. Net earn
ings of public utility companies this
year are approximately 13 per cent
greater than in 1926, according to a
study concluded by the United States
commerce department.
Reports to the department from the
95 largest systems serving gas, cleo
tricity, heat, power, traction and
water show an aggregate of $780,
098,000 in net earnings from January
/ to October l. In the correspond
ing period of 1926 the aggregate was
$495, ,352, 900.
Net earnings of the 95 companies
totalled $715,027 900 for the IL
months of 1926. If earnings during
the fourth quarter of 1927 are pro-
portionate to those of the first three
, quarters, the total for this year will
be in the neighborhood fo $8OS,000,-
900.
The picture presented by the re-
ports given in the foregoing explains
the present big publicity campaign of
the utility interests to convince the
public that everything is lovely in the
utility field and that even to think
of curbing utility rapacity and power
is almost treason

Rooster's Odd Intuition

After all the usual methods failed

superstition that seemed to have
worked in this case. They carried

Anderson had drowned. Each time
the rooster was carried over GER
tain place he crowed Justify. Drag
hooks were let down here and the

Umbrella Nondisappearing

Nondisappearing umbrellas have
appeared in England as the result
of the brainwork of an English in
ventor. At the tip is a strap that
one may put around the wrist and
feel sure that the protector is al
ways present. This causes the um-
brella to be carried upside down,
which prevents the ribs from open
ing up part way when not secured
by the catch at the bottom. The
rain shield is only % inches long
when closed, and when it is open the
strap disappears inside the handle.

ism to feudalism and its allies,
adopted by the Pittsburgh confen-

other liberty lovers everywhere were
called to join in the fight for justice

Fisher, of Pennsylvania, will be re-

and state constitution and laws.
An intensive organizing campagr
) IN Pennsylvania is recommended anc
the workers are called upon to retir,
political allies of the feudalists.
The miners were urged to "pay nc
heed to power assumed by those who
are unauthorized under the law tC
limit, circumscribe or repress theil
rights as citizens"
The injunction writ in labor dis
putes and anti-combination laws tha
protect wealth to oppress the work
