operation" are removed, Davis said.
The Denison bill also authorized ap-
preparation of S1O,OOO,OOO for new
equipment for the barge line but the
money has not yet been made avail
able.
Commenting on the Joint rail and
water rate proposal. Davis said his
department hopes to procure for
water transportation the opportun-
lty to thrive and extend its benefits
to the people who have been taxed
to create these arteries Of cheap
transportation" His Idea, he said. is
to work this out by negotiations with
the railroads, if possible, in order to
avoid litigation which would be ex-
pensivc to both sides but that, if nee
essary. the department is ready to
take the matter before the Inter-
state Commerce commission and to
"litigate until the end is secured"
Davis said recent decision by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
completely upholds the war depart
ment's position and will greatly cx-
peditc the ultimate solution Of the
problem.
Would Provide Route
The completed Mississippi Valley
waterway system, Davis said, will
provide an cast-wcst route from
Pittsburgh to Kansas City and be-
yond and north-south lines from the
Twin Cities and Chicago to the gulf
Of Mexico.
He said the barge line operations
in 1923 were successful, large in
crease in tonnage having been
handled at lower net cost per ton
than in the past. In comparison
with 1920, he said, rivers which then
showed a loss Of $1,OOO,OOO this
year showed new operating income
OF $442.224 after charging off $780,
600 for depreciation.
Operations of the Upper Missis-
sippi line were not included in these
figures. Reporting on financial
showings by divisions, Davis said the
Lower Mississippi system showed a
profit Of $540,S83; the Upper Mis-
sissippi loss Of $197,7S9 and the
Warrior River system lost $65,31O.
Since the Upper Mississippi system
is new better showing is expected
next year, he said.
Congressman Hull said the pro-
posed Mississippi system, coupled
with the Warrior river system and
the Great Lakes and inter-coastal
canal systems, the latter in Texas,
would give the United States the
largest system of inland waterways
in the world. Election of Herbert
Hoover, he said, insures early COM
pletion Of this project. He advised
the association to work with the
present and next congress to Sc
cure appropriations large enough to
complete the projects contemplated
by the government engineers"
The Panama canal, Hull said, has
been of great benefit to the country,
but has distorted the competitive re-
! lationship of businesses located in
the middle-west and those on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The
canal has drawn the east and west
seaboards close together by decreas-
ing transportation costs and has
practically ruined" the midway
business to the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, Hull said. He saw in cheap
inland water transportation an an
swer to this problem and an inestim-
able boon to manufacturing bust.

Protective laws dealing with

The New York supreme court ruled
out q law which tried to abolish the
notorious cigar sweatshop in East
Side tenements, saying that ut cam
not be perceived how the cigarmaker
is to be improved in his health or
his morals by forcing him from his
home and its hallowed associations
ant beneficent influences to ply his
trade elsewhere.
How any Judge who had ever
been beyond the clustered dignity
of his own judicial retreats could
have made that remark about the
"hallowed associations and benefit
cent influences" of tenement
sweatshop is something for your
imagination to wrestle with.
Similarly, as recently as 1905 the
u. S. supreme court destroyed the
New York bakeshop law, remarking
that "clean wholesome bread does
not depend on whether the baker
works but 10 hours. a day or 60 hours
a week." And this in the face of all
that we have learned about the eff
fects of over-fatigue on observance
of sanitary regulations!
There is a very revealing item in
Mary Boards History of the Amer
lean Labor Movement" Discussing
labor's attitude toward the slavery
question in the de .ade preceding the
Civil War, she says:
"Some labor leaders refused to
grow excited about slavery. More
than one Of them said that the me-
gro slave was better off than the
starving wage workers. In this they
did but echo the view of southern
slave owners, who held that masters
provided good food and clothing for
their slaves and took care of them
in sickness and old age; while under
the factory system workers were
paid just enough to live on, and
turned out to starve in hard times
and in their old age"
Imagine, if you can, what the
workingman's lot must have been
like when responsible, intelligent
men, with a first hand knowledge
Of conditions, could actually argue
that slave was really better off!
The plain fact of the matter is
that the workingman, in those
good old days." had a tough time
Of it. His pay was miserably low,
he was hamstrung in his efforts to
raise it, his job was always inse-
cure and it was impossible for him
to better the conditions under
which he worked

old days" meant to women and

Chicago, Nov. 26.-(AP)-Care-
lessness has been blamed for much.
Its latest sufferers are Benny Stat
terry, David Minkus and a negro with
the euphonious name of Olemiel
Hicks.
Taking them as they come. their
stories as recited on the Chicago
police records indicate that they
were not as cautious as they should
have been.
Slattery stood in Olson's restaur-
ant on S. Halsted street yesterday,
spinning a revolver on his finger
Looking the place over, he was
moved to remark: Chicago cops
aren't SO tough. I'd love to meet
one right now"
Five detectives arose in unison
from table, and Mr.. Slattery's
desire was gratified.
David Minkus had long been sus-
pected as deliverer of bottled beer.
Two sergeants, motivated by an
ambition to reduce the delivery of
beer to Chicago citizens, put ON
civilian clothes and placed an order
with Minkus.
Deliver same," they told Minkus,

Chicago, Nov. 26.-R-Helped by
645,0 bushels decrease in domestic
visible supplies and by firmer Liver
pool quotations than due, wheat
prices here developed a moderate
upward trend today. Bullish action
of the wheat market was also aided
by upturns in the value of corn.
Commission houses and previous SELL
ers of corn became active in pur-
chasing. and standing orders to stop
losses on the advance were forced
into operation.
Wheat closed firm, lac to &c net

In connection today with unex-

and talk of importers there contract
ing ahead for wheat, advices at hand
told of bullish crop estimates from
Australia and of further sales of
Australian wheat to India. Some
estimates Of Australian wheat yield
were as low as 100000 900 bushels,
2 difference 7.of 100000 bushels
under estimates from other authori-
ties. =. -.
On the other. hand, world ship
ments Of wheat for the week were
announced today as totaling 21,8O2,-
900 bushels, the largest amount ever
known for a similar period, compar-
ing with 18,836,OO bushels the pre-.
vious week and 1924, 900 bushels a
year ago. As a result, the aggre-
gate on wheat on ocean passage to-
day was in excess of either last week

An air bomb all but wrecked the
base headquarters of the Fox Films
unit making "The Air Circus" which
comes to- the Capitol Theatre this

a mystery. One of the watchmen on

which was hidden by clouds.
Attendants at the field, cleaning
up after the days work mad been
completed, saw a round object beside
one of the hangers but took no spe.
cial notice and raked it along with
other papers and trash into q. pit

burned.
He struck a match to the rubbish
when he had completed his cleaning,
then went on with other work. Pres
emily there was q roar and q blast
that shattered windows and sent

Observed Blu Students

With this week, October 7th to
14th, designated as Fire Prevention
Week." students in the Redwood Falls
schools are probably observing the
week more than any other class of
people in the city. Printed forms OF
dwelling house hazards were issued
to each student of the schools. In
this form there are printed fifteen
pointers relative to the prevention of
fires in homes. Also there is a ques-
tionnaire which is to be filled out by
the student making the check on his
or her home. The QUESTIONABLE is
nothing more than check-up by the
student on the parents, calling the
attention to any unsafe conditions in
the course of making the inspection.
Following the termination of Fire
Prevention Week" each questionnaire
will be returned to the school Off
cials, they in turn mailing them to
the Fire Prevention Department of
the Western Actuarial Bureau.
