WORLD TRUSTS
COMING

Louisville, Ky.-"The basic indus
tries of the world will be organized
on an international scale by 1950,"
was predicted by o. H. Cheney, New
York banker, in an address before the
convention of the National Associa-
tion of Credit Men.
This organization of industry will
take place, regardless of our wishes,
and we cannot stop it by calling it
names and waving the Stars and
Stripes, the speaker said.
Production will be controlled and
regulated to gear with reasonable de-
mand. 1t will be better organized
and it will be more favorable to the
United States and to the American
consumer if it is organized with our
cooperation.
"For centuries there has been inter
national economic competition, but it
has never been SO intense and on such
a large scale as since the war In
Europe business men learned long ago
to join the cartel, which is a kind of
organization not permitted in this
country. In the past few years the
Europeans have gone further and
have organized international cartels" I"

Exact Time of DaUn
Important in East

Earliest careful studies of twilight
duration were made by the Arabian
astronomers, and there was special
reason. The Moslem religion pre-
scribes daybreak--the beginning Of
dawn, or morning twilight--as one of
the five daily hours OF prayer
Moreover, during one month in the
this time to sunset, says Nature Mag
azine OF Washington. Hence as far
back as the Eleventh century the time
of daybreak at various seasons of the
year had been determined with con
siderable accuracy.
The same authorities distinguished
between true dawn and an earlier
faint illumination of the eastern sky
known as false dawn" frequently
mentioned In the literature of the
Orient
The line in the Rubaiyat Before
the phantom of false morning died."
refers to this phenomenon.
1t Is the zodiacal light, supposed to
be due to sunlight reflected from fine
particles of matter entirely outside
the earth's atmosphere. 1t Is best
seen in low latitudes; especially in
the pure air Of tropical and subtrop-
ical deserts.
In the United States 1t is visible
at certain times of the year, but not
where city lights prevail.

SIGN
new WAGE SCALE

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago.-Representatives of the
Commercial Telegraphers Union of
America, Roscoe Johnson, president,
and Frank B. Powers, secretary-treas-
urer, recently negotiated new scales
for Chicago and New York as follows
Press, $57.24 day and $63.25 night;
Morse, $44.75 day and $5025 night;
automatic printers, 1925 day and
$3975 night; brokers, $65 minimum
and $S5 quotation.
Other scale negotiations during the
months of June and July, taken to-
gether with those already closed, will
affect more than 5000 telegraph work
ers in the United States and Canada.
Secretary Powers says that the
strong efforts made by the commu-
nists to wreck the organization in
Canada have signally failed. The fight
was bitter one while it lasted, but
the good sense of the members finally
prevailed, with the result that the
morale and strength of the organiza-
ton has been improved.

Stone Slab Recalls
Church Built in f717

One of southwestern New Bruins
wick's interesting historical spots is
Meductic, once the site of an Indian
village. Here the Indians had
rather important fort and here the
French established a mission and in
time built up little church Louis
XIV was so impressed with the work
OF the priests that he caused to be
shipped from France an elaborately
designed bell to be placed in the bel
fry. The church stood for many years,
during which, tradition relates, many
stirring events occurred about Meduc-
tic, among which were the clashes be-
tween the English and the French and
their Indian allies
One day a Mr.. Hay, owner of the
Meductic property, was plowing near
q clump of bushes that alone remains
to mark the site of the church and
the nearby fort, when his plow struck

LABOR POLICY
Of L. S. Favored in Europe,
Says Frey

Washington Industry must be
rationalized and labor must be given
a voice and participation in its apph-
cation"
This was one of the outstanding
resolutions passed by the International
Economic Conference, recently held in
Geneva, according to John P. Frey,
editor of the international Molders'
Journal and president of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, who has
just returned to this country. He
served as labor advisor to the Amer
lean representatives to the confer
ence. Thirty-seven nations were rep
resented.
"One of the first contests" said Mr..
Frey, "was on the failure of the sec
ton on industry to appoint trade
unionists on important committees.
This policy was objected to by the
Americans, headed by Mr.. Henry Rob
inson, California banker and business
man and chairman of the American
delegation. Eventually the organized
workers secured recognition.
What the conference meant by
ratification of industry is the appli-
cation of scientific methods in indus
try, so we'll known to Americans"

FIVE-DAY WEEK
During Summer For New
York Union Offices

BY international Labor News Service.
New York City.-Every labor union
office in New York city is now on the
basis of the five-day week. Whether
a union official wants to work on Sat
urday or not, he will not find his eff
clent stenog. on the job on that day
lnless special provision is made.
Bookkeepers, Stenographers and
Accountants Union 12646 through
Business Agent Ernest Bohm has put
through the agreement that workers
in union offices have Saturday all day
off from Decoration Day until Labor
Day. The labor headquarters and To-
cal unions have been prompt to COM
with the request as we'll as the
other unionized offices, including po-
itical, fraternal and publishing head
quarters.
The establishing of the five-day
week has added greatly to the prestige
of the B. S. and A. U. Strange as it
may seem the 100000 clerical workers
in the city have not yet realized what
this union can do for them if they
will join. Even now, every union ste
nographer is getting 25 per cent more
salary than the non-union worker in
addition to the five-day week. No
where can clerical worker find bet
ter conditions than in a union office
and yet the huge army of typists re-
mains more interested in the tabloids,
the bathing beauty contests, the latest
doings of the Gumps and true love
stories" There is golden knight
ready to rescue everyone of them if
they only realized it and that doughty
warrier is none other than union labor.

TRUST BUSTING
AIDS STANDARD

New York.--Cash dividends paid by
companies comprising the Standard Oil
group will total $54,272,766 in the
second quarter of this year.
"And everyone knows" says the
Wall Street Journal, "that the Stand
ard Oil companies pay to shareholders
a very small per cent of the money
they earn"
The high dividends for the second
quarter has been made despite over
production in the oil industry that re-
suited in the appointment of an oil
dictator to regulate production in the
largest field in Oklahoma.
The United States supreme court
dissolved the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey in 1921. The corpora
ton was held to be trust. The
following year total dividends for the
separated companies was $51, ,686, ,534,
and have annually increased.

Pittsburgh.-The Pittsburgh Coal
Company will sell $7,83O,80O common
stock to replace expenditures that
have been made for plant improve
ments." The program calls for the
immediate replacement of $3,5O000O,
which has already been spent.
This corporation broke its agree
ment with the United Mine Workers
and reports a deficit of more than
$3,000,000 during the last two years.
"Plant improvements" is an elastic
term. 1t may mean payment for 300

importation and maintenance of
strikebreakers and for its costly at
tempt to operate 18 of its 81 mines.

the company is the grade of workers

GREAT PLANS
Being Prepared By Eagles
For Fourth of July Out
ing and Celebration

Butler Aerie No. 407, local lodge of
Eagles, is making elaborate arrange
ments for what is believed will be the
greatest Fourth of July celebration
and outing ever staged in the long
history of the lodge. The big affair,
as has been the custom for many years
past, will be held on the Butler county
fairgrounds. To that end, that this
years affair be the biggest ever, the
committee in charge is meeting most
every night, thinking, scheming and
doing much head-scratching in work
ing out every small detail so that no
one of the big crowd expected to at
tend will have the slightest excuse for
complaint that it is not the biggest
ever.
All the old-time features and attrac-
tions will be provided, together with
many new ones. The Eagles annual
celebration is growing year by year
until those of the past few years have
been outdone in pretentiousness only
by the big Butler county fair. Many
professional concessionaires are bid
ding in for the privilege of plying
their wares.
Motorcycle racing will again be the
big afternoon attraction. Entries to
these speed contests are steadily COM
ing in from some of the best known
and speediest riders in the country.
There will be nothing left for the
speed fans to complain of after wit
Messing the Eagles big afternoon
show.
The fireworks contract for the big
night display has been awarded the
A. L. Due Fireworks Company with
every promise the display will be
worth going miles to see. In addi-
tion there will be daylight display in
the afternoon. Band concerts will be
staged afternoon and evening. There
will be all kinds of contests and games,
for young and old, throughout the day.
Lunch and refreshments of all kinds
will be provided so that it will not be
necessary for anyone to bother about
preparing lunch if they feel so dis
posed, though the committee invites
all to fill their baskets, come to the
grounds and make a day of it.
And what better place could one
+. find for celebrating the Glorious
Fourth than at the Eagles outing and
celebration at the Butler county fair
grounds-plenty of shade, water
benches, weather protection, music
amusements and entertainment galore
conveniences of every description. Fill
the basket, get the family together
and make a day of it at the Eagles
outing.

Sun Stops Roldness

now advocating going bare-headed,
where climatic conditions permit, as
preventive Of badness. One Of the
contributing causes of loss of hair Ia
too-tight head covering The dis
carding of the hat or cap removes
this structure and also allows free ac-
tion of sun and air on the scalp. A
normal person loses about forty hairs
each day If these, on a woman with
unbobbed head, are less than six
inches long and form one-third or
more Of the combings Of three days,
