FREUDIAN ADVICE

BERLIN, April R-The advice

inducing Richard Tauber, Berlin opera
star, to keep guest engagement in
Vienna for which he had contracted
several months previously.
Tauber, when reminded of his agree

was impossible for him to come be-
cause he was being psychoanalyzed.
He pleaded that while undergoing
treatment he could not undertake

More Truth Than Poetry
MES j. MONTAGUE
THE MYSTERY.

A scientist is giving flies
A food to make them stronger,
To multiply their weight and size
And make them live far longer;
Now l would not object to add
A few odd years to my life,
But anybody must be mad
Who seeks to lengthen fly life.
When with the spring the days grow
hot
In dining room and larder,
At vagrant flies l swat and swat
With energetic ardor.
They swarm about like bees in hives
And savagely 1 fail them
Not aiming to EXTEND their lives,
But meaning to CURTAIL them.
For fleeting as may be their terms
OF life while they are living,
They sow my food with deadly germs
A thing past all forgiving,
But while my swatting clout l raise
This fellow is pursuing
A means to multiply the days
They spend in evil doing.
IF flies were scarce, if flies were rare,
If men did not abhor them
I might see how this chap would care
To do this service for them;
But 1 admit I'm quite nonplussed-
To spend his time and talents
In teaching flies to live, he must
Be off his mental balance.

NOW LET US SCAB!
BY LELAND OLDS. Federated Pre-.


"Thou shalt not take thy neighbours job" More
satisfactorily, "Thou shalt not scab upon thy
neighbor."
In the minds of striking workers along the
joint church Investigators, there would be nothing
incOngruous about adding this to the 10 command
ments.
Had these churchmen gone a bit deeper they
would have realized that such an addition to the
decalog is unnecessary. For it is fully covered
in the shorter commandment, "Thou shalt not
steal" The scab who takes the job of striking
worker steals the means of support from that
workers family, steals seniority and pension
rights accumulated by years of service.
Had these churchmen gone still deeper they
might have discovered why workers lose interest
in the church. The church daily tolerates violation
of this primary commandment by those who sit
in the seats of the mighty. 1t asks worker church
members to join in worship with these great social
scabs
section of the report hints at this important
truth Commenting on the fact that churches
have been nearly rent asunder by strikes on the
Western Maryland it says:
'The membership of these churches have come
to feel deep and permanent kinship with the
labor movement Unionism is almost as much a
part of their ethical outlook as patriotism It is
of the essence of their religious fellowship
"The shop strike of 1922 nearly destroyed some
of these churches because striking union men and
their families could not be reconciled to joining
in worship with those who were breaking their
strike, and, they saw it, robbing them of theil
jobs. The principle of unionism is so deeply i'm.
bedded in the moral consciousness of these people
that children imbibe it as naturally and in
evitaby as they do the elementary principle oil
! family loyalty or of respect for the church."

are just branches of the great christian church
And it regards as honored members such men al

JOHN D., RAIL OWNER, is BROAD
TARGET FOR CHURCH HIVES
TICATORS
By LAURENCE TODD.

Greed for big dividends on watered stock held
by John D. Rockefeller jr. and his friends, was
the primary cause of the locking out of locomo-
tive engineers, firemen and hostlers on the West
cm Maryland railroad, and for the resultant
strike which has lasted two years.
That is the verdict of the joint committee of
investigators representing the research depart
ment of the Federal Council of Churches, the So
cia action dept of the Natl. Catholic Welfare con-
ference, and the social justice commission of the
Central Conference of American Rabbis. They
have been Investigating the cause and conse-
quences of this long struggle between Rockefell-
ers coal railroad and the brotherhoods.
In their report, which is divided into II sec

some phase of the dispute the first joint commit
tee of the American churches to pass judgment
on a labor battle against aggregated wealth has
found labor in the right. 1t finds that the work.
ers did everything within their power to avert
the conflict and that the roads president, Byers,
and the chairman of its board Greer, arbitrarily
refused to meet the labor representatives to adj
just the points of difference. Beneath it lay the
demand for bigger returns on the preferred stock.
This dispute arose over demand that the COM
pany grant the same slight increase in wages that
had been granted by all other Glass 1 roads in
the eastern traffic territory The total wage in
crease asked was $4,000 year, and the men
would have granted concessions in the rules that
would have saved the company $4,000 of this

known as the Rockefeller interests, holds about

Rockefeller, it is shown got over 11@o last year
while fighting the brotherhoods. He and the
other first-preferred stockholders also received
$685. 900 year since June, 1922, on the coal pro

ACTION AGAINST EDI-
TOR TO BE DROPPED
Commissioners Believe Conviction of
e. A. Francis Would Be Too Cost
ly.

Williston, N. D. Feb. 21.-Acting
IN accordance with resolutions adopt
ed by the board of commissioners of
Williams county, States Attorney
Lake has taken steps to secure the
dismissal of the case against Ernest
A. Francis, now on the calendar,
charging him with maIfeasance in
office.
This case is identical with the one
tried last fall. In which Francis was
charged with having accepted fee

Element of the county's claim against
the creditors of the closed Williams
County State bank, while he was

ney.
William LANCER was, at the request
OF the complaining witness, appointed
special prosecutor and the case re-
suited in a verdict of not guilty be-
lore Judge Kneeshaw, whereupOn
LANCER filed the same charges under
a different statute. This case is now
on the calendar and is to be heard
by Judge Wolfe of Wahpeton, LANCER
continuing as special prosecutor.
The reasons assigned by the coun-
ty commissioners for dismissal of the
action are that there is very little
probability of securing a conviction,
masmuch as the facts in this case
are the same as those that failed to
convict in the other suit, and that
even in the event of conviction, the
maximum recovery would be judg-
ment for $500 and costs, recovery on
which would be more than doubtful
In view of the fact that Francis has
moved to California and has no pro-
perty here against which levy could
be made.
The costs in the case already tried
amount to at least 81 200, the amount
paid to Mr.. LANCER alone being $685.
68, which include $500 for % days
services and $183.68 for expenses.
The commissioners do not feel that
they would be justified in spending
a similar sum of the county's money
for a case the successful outcome OF
which is so doubtful and which would
be certain to involve further finan-
cial loss.

Omaha, Feb. 19.-Congressman F3-
gar Howard of Nebraska plans to in.
troduce into Congress a bill for .
national bank guaranty of deposits
lw with provisions similar to the Ne.
braska bank guaranty law, thus max.
ing the later law of interest to the
entire nation.
Several states, among them being
Iowa, where banking conditions are
in a muddled shape, recently have
sent legislative committees to Ne.
braska to study the law and ascer.
tain why it has been so successful
that not dollar has been lost to
state depositor in the last sixteen
years.
In a nutshell; here is what they
are discovering:
Solvent Banks Pay
There have been Isl state bank
failures since the guaranty law be-
came effective. Approximately $685.
100000 were in these banks at the
time of failure. About one-half this
amount has been realized by sale of
assets on hand. The remainder.
something like S14,00O,000, which
would have been the normal loss to
depositors, has been placed on the
shoulders of the solvent state banks
That is the secret of the success"
of the Nebraska state bank guaranty
law. Make the solvent banks pay the
losses caused by the failing banks
Forty per cent of the capital of the
state banks of Nebraska has gone to
pay the losses of these defunct banks
in the last fifteen years.
Congressman Towards bill, if sim
liar to the Nebraska law, would pro-
vide that the national banks of the
country "chip in" and pay the losses
of any national bank that should fall.
Failures Total ISL
An audit of the Nebraska guaranty
fund just completed shows that since
the law became effective Isl banks
have failed. Of these banks thirty.
six are now being operated by the
guaranty fund commission as going
concerns, 102 are III receivership anC
thirteen have been entirely iquidat
ed.
When a Nebraska bank fails, in
stead of an individual receiver bein(
appointed, the guarantee commission
takes charge and saves the expense O.
many different receivers.
A bank failure in a Nebraska tow
does not make a ripple in business
Depositors know the state fund vii
pay all depositors Immediately.
Some years ago a bank failed 70
almost 100000. The head of tn
bank disappeared. Under the ban
guaranty system all depositors wer
paid. The missing head of the ban
came back and was met at the Out
: skirts of the town by a brass ban
Z and a parade of half the people G

SECRETARY OF STATE KEEL
LOGG REFUSES TO ANSWER

Washington - (FP) - For more
than week Secretary of State Kel-
logg had refused to answer ques-
tons, in press conferences, as to his
preparations to crush the Liberal
government forces in Nicaragua by
military occupation of that republic.
He ''knew nothing about" reports
that he was preparing to make Mic
aragua bankers province on the
model of Haiti. Previously he had
been just as ignorant of the censor
ship clamped down in Nicaragua by
Admiral Latimer. That is the Kel-
logg manner.

The Montana Banker" the official organ of
the Bankers Association in this state has the
following editorial in its February edition:
"BANK GUARANTEE LAWS
up to the date of this writing, meas
ures proposing the guarantee of bank de-
posts in Montana have been shown very
little consideration. The first one intro
duced died in committee but there are
one or two others pending 1t is the
sensus of opinion around the capitol
building that none of them will get very
far, it appearing that very large ma
iority of the legislators are well inform
ed to the utter fallibility of such laws
as demonstrated by their failure to any
where function in other states.
cit is noted in this connection that at
Plentywood, few days ago, a state con-
vention of progressive farmers Endorsed
the Nebraska bank guaranty law which
is, in substance, embodied in bill now
pending at Helena. P. J. Wallace, edi-
tor of the Producers News, was the NOV
ing spirit of the convention and this ac-
ton was to have been expected.
North Dakota has tried out a bank
guarantee law for many years and bill
is now pending in the legislature of that
state for its repeal"
The editor of the Bankers magazine may be
good financier but the foregoing editorial has
not raised his standing as a political prognosti
Gator
Despite his dire predictions, the Bank Deposi
tors Guarantee Bill has travelled a respectable
distance, far. When the packed bankers com
mittee of the lower house reported that cit die
not pass" motion to place the bill on genera
orders was made and we'll supported The bank
ers lackeys in the house succeeded in tableing thu
bill by a so to Al vote. A few days later tn,
Banking committee in the Senate reported that ;
similar bill there did not pass. But the bill, will
a rider attached ordering that it be submitted t.
vote of the people, passed the Senate So thu
bill got good deal farther than it did last yea
and than the Bankers Association expected.
But the big bankers can draw sigh of relic
anyway. The bill was killed by the Senate fey
days ago. The money changers triumphed an
the people lost again.
But the people may have a chance to say
word on this at the election next year.
