| Indiana Bell employees are forced
to take the highest price phone

These are some of the ways this
company is helping to whip the de-
preston and at the same time rates
are held at peak prices and the
company earnings for the last quar-
ter showed a profit of SLIP a share
of common stock.
A dividend rate of SO a share is
being paid by this company, which
is above earnings. and employees of
the company are being cut, laid
off, fired for minor infractions of
rules and made to do the work of
twice as many men, SO that the
company can continue to pay divi-
dendS above earnings.
If the dividend rate were cut to
Sc a year, all the men who have
been laid off could be re-employed
and the company could put away
a surplus in the already bloated
sinking fund
We voted for a new deal. Why
can't the men who promised the
new deal investigate conditions in
such companies and bring some
pressure to bear that will force them
to quit capitalizing on the depres-
sion so that the big stockholders,
such as Sun Life of Canada and
the Prudential Insurance Company
can raise the salaries of the officers
to a mark so per cent over those
paid in 1929?

Votes of YeSteryedr

WHEN I was running for con-
w gress on the Socialist ticket,
I often ran into the criticism that
I couldn't possibly be on the level,
because 1 was having a fine time.
Of course 1 had a fine time. That
was one reason why I was convinced
that it was a good assignment to
have accepted.
1 had a chance to go out every
night and stand on ten or twelve
street corners and make the same
speech ten or twelve times over. 1
liked it.
What's wrong in that? In fact. I
say distrust the man who approach
es you solemnly and explains that
he has enlisted in some cause or
other at a grave personal sacrifice
and that he functions only through
sense of duty. He may think
that, but he is fooling himself.
The people who accomplish any,
thing in the world were full of zest
and ginger and dancing all over
Gods Armageddon. Discipline is for
second lieutenants and deserving
Democrats. From any distance at
all it looks to me like a spinach bed.

FOUNDER OF BRAILLE INSTITUTE
GIVES TALK FOR P. E. O. GROUP

J. Robert Atkinson, founder, vice
president and general manager OF

talk last night on the work of the
organization for Chapter AV, p. E.

Mr. Atkinson is a former valley
resident and has many friends in

ments will be of particular interest.
He began his talk last night with
a description of the Braille system,
which with minor changes has be-
come the official system which en-
ables sightleSs persons TO read and
write.
As a result of his own loss of
sight Mr.. Atkinson became inter
ested in standardizing the five COM
pering systems and when he dis
covered the paucity of books avail
able for use of the blind by means
of the Braille typewriter began to
transeribe in Braille standard
works. From this beginning, with
the aid of Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ.
Longyear, he founded the Universal
Braille Press in 1920, and in 1929
the Braille Institute was incorpor-
ated.
This institution is established on
sound basis and has as its aim
the rehabilitation of the blind. A
