Four-day service between New

He will lay the plan before the

Mr.. Wilder has interested ship

The best part of the story is that
the project seems to have been in

Hurry Transportation

Speed in transportation is one Of
the most interesting features OF
present-day life.
Aviation has not only unfolded
the possibilities Of speed through
flight, but has stimulated a search
for speedier vehicles on both land
and water.
Realizing that they must compete
with aviation if they would sur
yive, railroad and shipping interests
have devoted their attention to
speed

President Tradition

The tradition that the President
should not leave this country was
rooted in the idea that such ven
ture involved more or less hardship
and risk.
1t is easier now for Coolidge to
go from Washington to Havana than
it was for Jefferson or Madison to
go from Washington to New York.
That is one reason Why he plans
to do so, why Roosevelt broke the
precedtn, why Wilson vert to Paris,
and why nobody worries.

The indictment of Clyde Walb,
Republican State chairman, by
the Federal grand jury, on the
charge of conspiracy to violate the
national banking law, odds to the
growing list of indicted Re
publican politicians. 1t follows
closely on the Indictment of Ora
Davies, former republican State
treasurer, and the present State
bank commissioner and his
deputy by the Howard County
grand jury in connection with the
affairs of the American Trust
Company of Kokomo. Governor
Jackson, along with George v.
Coffin and Robert I. Marsh, are
under indictment and will be
tried soon.
The Marion County grand jury
which ended its session with the
close Of the year, left a lot of
work for the next grand jury to
complete. 1t reported it had ex-
amined the contents of the D. C.
Stephenson "black boxes" but
because of the statute of limita-
ton further indictments were not
warranted. This grand jury had
indicted John L. Duvall, Repub-
lican mayor of Indianapolis, who
was forced out of office.
The ordinary citizen and tax
payer wonders when things like
these are going to end. Of course,
everyone knows that indictments
are not a proof of guilt, and the
truth must be brought out at the
trials, but the fact of Indictment
does indicate that serious things
have been going on that need to
be looked into.
These and other indictments
against men in office or promi-
nent in politics are not only a re-
Election against the men most con-
cerned, but they can not help af-
fecting the party which has fos-
tered them. The party in a way
is responsible for these men, al
though party responsibility has
been made almost a nudity by our
primary system.
AS to the affairs of the First
National Bank of La Grange, IN
connection with which Valentine
D. Weaver, along with Mr.. Walb,
was indicted, they should be thor
oughly sifted.

A New View of Law

Yale University Law School has just taken very
remarkable STEP
1t has named as professor of law man who
never went to law school, and to whom much of
the stock in trade of practicng lawyers probably
a complete mystery.
The man, Walton Hale Hamilton is an eminent
economist whose study of the law has been conferred
in its effect upon the economic life Of the country
rather than its legal technicalities.
By making such appointment Yale University
makes formal recognition of the fact that good law
yers must be more than good logicans and technical
craftsmen.
1t recognizes that they must have better under
standing of the economic life of the country for which
law provides the principal guide.
In country which is run largely by lawyers the
Importance of the step which Yale has taken is of
the first magnitude.
1t is happy augury for the future development
of legal training in this country.

JUGGLING seen
IN COTTON SALES
Senate Committee to
Investigate

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia move
ment is underway to investigate the
operation of cotton exchanges, mills,
and the department of agriculture as
to price manipulation. A resolution
offered by Sen. Smith of South Caro-
lima has been accepted by the senate,
and the senate agriculture committee
has been directed to suggest legisla-
ton.
The resolution charges that tho
there were 100000 bales less in 1927
than during the preceding year, and
consumption had increased, the price
of cotton had steadily declined. A
large part of the responsibility for
the price-juggling was placed upon
the department of agriculture, the
resolution calling attention to bull
letin of the bureau of agricultural
economies saying that cotton crop
prices would decline.

to deprive Maschke of his power.
Our experience together while

statement that have played the game

IF, in this contest what l have done

PA. RUG WEAvERS'
STRIKE HUNDRED
PERCENT WALKOUT
Appeal to Hulmeville
Workers to Join

SOUTH LANGHORNE, Pa, Feb
16.-The local committee in charge of
the strike of the rug weavers in this
town issued leaflet several days ago
in which they appealed to the work
ers of the neighboring town of HUI
neville to ostracise, and separate
from the company of real human be-
ings the few scabs that the Eden
Manufacturing Company was able to
recruit from their town.
With the strike of the several hum
dred weavers in the employ of the
Eden Manufacturing Company hold
ing out 100 per cent, and with the
price Of imported strikebreakers con-
tinually rising, due to the effective
picketing of the workers, the mill
owners had gone into the neighboring
town and succeeded in hiring several
scabs. 1t is believed that the circular
referred to will again compel the
bosses to go scab hunting.
The strikers had achieved unan-
imous walkout when the bosses an
nounced wage cut of 10 per cent.
A 54-hoUr week was also in force at
the time the strike occurred.
. The strikers have not had one de-
sertion from their ranks to date, and
the prospects for a complete victory
are highly favorable, according to the
opinion of those acquainted with the
situation. This is due to the fact that
the product of these mills are of a
very high quality, and the expensive
merchandise manufactured requires a
high grade of workmanship. The few
defective rugs that are made with the
help of the scabs are hardly saleable
in market restricted to high quality.

McNary-Haugen Bill
Passed by Committee

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 49,
The senate agriculture committee
voted to support the revised McNary
farm relief bill yesterday. The meas
ure provides for the establishment of
a federal farm board to control the
marketing and disposition of farm
products in this country and abroad.
No limit is set to the presidents
power to appoint members to this
board, thus bringing the farmers more
completely under the. yoke of big
businesses executive.
A revolving loan of $250000 900
will be established and entirely con-
trolled by the board. The purpose of
the fund is to extend credit to COOP
eratives and storing or marketing sur
pluses, according to Senator McNary,
author of the bill. The money will be
loaned at four per cent interest to
whomever the board chooses to accom-
modate.

F0rd's Guess Fails to
Solve Unemployment
(By Federated Press)

Henry Ford thinks that farming
has to be revolutionized, he says in
an interview appearing in the March
Forum. Machinery is Ford's subject.
He advocates complete machine farm
ing, either by large corporations or by
groups Of farmers.
Farm life would again become at
Itractive, says Ford. More workers
would be released to manufacturing
and transportation industries. But
the motor manufacturer seems to
have overlooked the present wide
spread unemployment, still noticeable
in his home city Detroit is well as
elsewhere, which is attributed largely
to increasing mechanization of in
dustry and speed-up.

INVESTIGATION
ON POWER TRUST
Dawes live stor in
Combine

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. - The
"power lobby" is celebrating victory
today after squelching all efforts for
an investigation of the power trust.
The resolution for an inquiry has been
referred by a vote of 46 to 81 to the
reactionary Federal Trade Commits
sion, the grave yard for many de-
feated trust-investigation resolution.
Party lines were completely shat
tered as a result of a section in the
resolution calling for inquiry into the
efforts by the power interests to con-
troll elections and asking investigation
of slush funds from this source used
to elect either a president or sena-
tor, many senators in both parties
since 1928 being deeply indebted to
the power concerns for their cam
paign funds.

Operator propaganda that has sub
sidized or penetrated the capitalist
press is hailing a new Iowa agree
ment with the United Brotherhood OF
Miners. This brotherhood is COM
pany union organized by the opera
tors around Centerville in Appanoose
county with a name chosen to re-
semble the locked-out United Mine
Workers. The agreement by the
company union sells out the gains
made by the regular union under the
national scale and substitutes slight
raise over the poverty scale of 1917
For example the national scale of
$3.50 a day is cut to Sc and less
while the contract scale of 81 a ton
is cut to S1.48.
So raw is the company union deal

The author of the opus is a director
of the Theatre Guild. The plot con-
Germs an author, who; after he has
had a run of bad luck, has his wife
suggest that he have a love affair
to inspire him to write more success
fully.
The author, portrayed by Mr.. Wat
son, accepts the suggestion but dis
covers that he loves his secretary,
who is the one selected.
The play derives its name from the
fact that the wife is modern, that is,
in the petty-bourgeois way.
The wife's interest in club meet
ings, magazine articles and radio
speeches is pounded into the audience
during the entire production.
The supporting cast is adequate and
helps to bring out an occasional bright
line. All in all, it is sheer theatre,
and not so good at that.
The play is directed by Reuben
Mamoulian and the setting is by
Cleon Throckmorton.
