require modification of some ex- isting laws" Swope admitted. By this it was understood he referred to the sherman antitrust laws. Swopes' plan would benefit the individual worker in the following manner:
 He would be protected by work mems compensation.
 He would receive life and dis ability insurance policy. with a face value equal to years pay, paid for by the worker and the company on equal terms.
 He would receive a pension on retirement from a fund to which he and the company had contri- buted equally. The pension would equal half his regular pay. If tightening of business condi- tions should cause him to lose his job he would receive payments up to $20 a week from a fund to which he and the employer had contributed, and the fund also would be available for loans. All the above benefits include provisions allowing him to trans fer from one industry to another without losing any of the funds he has contributed to the various forms of protection, as long as the firms for which he works are among those bound by the "busi- ness constitution"
 Plans of the individual trade associations would have to be ap- proved by the federal supervisory body. A general board of ad- ministration-comp of three members representing employers. three representing labor, and three appointed by the federal board would interpret the insurance and pension features of the plan, and organize and administer the trust funds.
 Young, in uttering his approval, said adoption of Swope's idea would require the voluntary sur- render of a certain amount of in- dividual freedom by the majority" but that some price would be ex- acted no matter what kind of plan were adopted.

SIGHT is GIVEN
GIRL, 8, BLIND
ALL HER LIFE
Strange World Appears in
Place of Darkness as
Operation Succeeds.

BB United Press
BELLAIRE. o., oct. 3o-The world
was a wonderland today to Edna
Goddard. age 9, who stared raptur-
ously at strange objects which she
had conjured differently in a life
Of blindness.
The skill of a surgeon gave Edna
sight which had been blotted out
at birth by a double cataract.
Everything seems so funny" she
laughed gleefully, looking at her
mother. Even mamma seems
strange. She seemed different be-
fore"
The generosity of local civic clubs
and the skill of DR.. Leo Covert,
neighbor of the Godoards, opened
up the wonderland for Edna. She
had been born blind.
AS she learned to walk, she also
learned the ways of the blind, how
she must grope her way about and
depend upon her accentuated sense
of hearing and touch to safeguard
herself from danger. She learned
how to read from the raised alpha
bet. Her parents said she never
complained.
The Goddards were poor, unable
to take Edna to a specialist. Civic
clubs interested themselves in her
case. They consulted DR.. Covert
who offered to perform the opera
ton. When the spandages were re-
moved Thursday, Edna shrieked in
childish joy.
Il can See" she said.
But everything seemed different
to what she had conjured in her
world Of darkness. Color particu-
larly was puzzling.
Il didn't know that eyes were of
different colors," she said. Every
thing is so bright and different. It's
wonderful"
Today she was learning the
names of chairs and other objects
about her home. Although she had
known them by touch, in sight they
we're strange.

Some employers may have legitimate excuses for cutting
wages but Uncle Sam ought to set example Of HOLDING

The attitude of the President of the United States has been
consistently against wage reductions He has urged private
employers adopt other of reducing expenses rather
than to lower wages and salaries.

Every employer every business every serespectng
worker knows that this country does not WANT THE DOLE
But MEN MUST EAT, they must have clothes and shoes
and place to sleep.
The dole horrible but it would not be horrible as six
million desperate men looking for work.
Therefore is the business of good citizen TO KEEP
HIS MEN EMPLOYED IF HE CAN DO 1T.
And addition keeping employed it the business
of the prosperous employing class not merely for the sake Of
lOages unless absolutely forced to do it..
