TRUTH IN SMALL COMPASS

TRUTH IN SMALL COMPASS
David E. Lilienthal, one of the three
men who manage the IVA, has found
the right name for the utility holding
company. He calls it a financial tape
worm"
The electric operating utilities
seem to be suffering from financial
tapeworm. he said. "The patient al
ways seems hungry, and the more he
eats, the thinner he seems to get. The
patient thinks he ought to have more
food. The tapeworm is sure that what
he needs is more food
The doctor may decide that what
the patient needs most of all is to get
rid of the tapeworm
That is likely to prove one of the
phrases that make history 1t puts
the case against the holding company
in words that everyone can under
stan9 and it puts the case right. The
utility holding company, in at least
nine cases out Of every ten, is a para
site. It uses up the food--the rates
which the public give the operating
company just as the tapeworm uses
up the food given to the patient.
And in both cases, the fact suggests
the remedy get rid Of the parasite.
Lilienthal has given the country a
phrase which tells the truth and sets
forth the facts. And that is no small
help toward the abolition Of holding
companies.

hours of work. At the next session of
the conference an attempt will be
made to adopt convention covering
the reduction of hours for certain
specified industries. Three new sub

for preliminary discussion; namely,
unemployment among young persons,
the recruiting of labor in colonies and
in other territories with analogous
conditions, and holidays with pay.

The next session of the information
al Labor Conference has been fixed
for June a, 1885, at Geneva, Switzer-
land. Six items have been placed on
its agenda, two of which are coming
ND for final discussion; namely, the
maintenance of the pension and in
surance rights of the worker going
from one country to another, and the
employment of women on underground
work in mines of all kinds. Another
question. which was discussed at the

the first to expand operations.
Another consideration is that lower
wages prevail in the smaller centers.
"The net consequence" the CORES
pondent concludes, us that the busi-
ness recovery is being built on the
lowest possible scale of wages; that
the gulf between production and corr
suming capacity is benig widened,
and that the conditions of a new crisis
are being prepared unless exports
increase rapidly and steadily, which
is unlikely
The same conclusions are being
drawn by some minds regarding what
is taking place in the United States,
though the factor of the difference
between wages paid by large and
small employers here might not en-.
ter in the picture to the same extent
as it does in Canada, because of what
are supposed to be uniform minimum
code wages. But everybody knows
there are ways of getting around
codes and that wages tend to be
lower in the smaller centers, despite
NRA and all its works.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

During the business recovery what
there has been of tan economic
change has been taking place in Can
ada which has been paralleled to a
certain extent in the United States,
and perhaps in other countries. The
change or process is of vast concern
to organized labor, interested as it is
in advancing standards Of pay and
living and in preventing anything that
tends to lower such standards.
The process is described by the OF
tawa correspondent Of International
Labor News Service, who writes;
While business has been making
gains, industrial employment in the
large cities of Canada has increased
at much slower rate than in the
smaller communities, according to the
official reports. Whereas, from the
low point in February, 1888, employ
ment for all Canada has increased 25
per cent, in Toronto the increase has
been Ia per cent and in Montreal Is
per cent.

T Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

We move along, watching new
and largely unknown congress get un-
der way, with work that easily may
turn out to be more important than
the work of its predecessor congress.
The last congress vert into hud-
die and brought forth NRA, which
has done certain things, but that has
not made much of dent in unem-
ployment.
This congress will throw out four
billion dollars for a gigantic drive to
get men on payrolls.
1t will make NRA permanent and
it will establish the principle of So
cial responsibility by writing unem-
ployment insurance and old age pen
sion laws. They will be a beginning,
though they will be timid.
One of the strange things about
this congress, filled with new faces,
is that when legislative agents want
something done, they go to the same
Old veterans-men who have been
right in the same seat for term or
more before this one.
Those who know the ropes through
experience still pull the wires ard
make legislation go through its PAGES.
But it may be different in the next
session, when the youngsters get to
know something about the ropes.
At this writing many of them
scarcely know their way home after
dark.
Administration measures are in the
hands of practiced and experienced
figures, like Wagner.
X
OF course there are lots of things
in Washington besides congress.
There is S. Clay Williams, tobacco
king, who hates unions but who is
supposed to uphold IA as head of
the NIRB, as strange a combination
as ever was.
And there is the New York speech
Of this same Clay Williams, in which
he said we should all praise the rich,
because they work for us so hard and
pay Uncle Sam 50 much in taxes,
which will yet get to be one of Wash
ington's best Jokes.
And there are certain NRA subal-
terms who are just now in hot water
because of their zeal in behalf of bust
ness.
And there is the proposed hippo
drome day, set for January 30, when
labor is supposed to go, en- masse, to
tell NRA what's the matter-in GER
eral terms, but not in specific terms.
And there is the question Of who
is to administer the four billion pub
lie works fund And the unpleasant
ness between Ickes and Hopkins.
There are many other things of in
terest about Washington, not all of
which are known to the sightseeing
guides. AS a matter Of fact they
know more about mortar and stones
and dead folks than about live folks.
If the gold decision comes before
you read these lines, you will know
that the prediction, written prior to
the decision, that the government is
set for eventualities is a good one.
There is wonderment about what's
back Of Senator Borah's bill to license
corporations. 1t provides for Ii
cense, but nothing else. Is it an artful
beginning
Only trouble is that, as many agree,
Borah loses interest when fight is
nearly won.
Washington is booming, what with
legislators and lobbyists added to
NRA. Keep your eye on Washington.
A lot that will happen to you will
start in Washington.

TRANSIT COMPANY
TO WIDEN SERVICE
Substitution of Buses for
TroIIeyS to Rockville Will
Improve System.
BY JACK ALLEN.

officials of the Capital Transit Co.
announced last night that the service
offered their Montgomery County pa
irons will be broadened greatly under
plans now being prepared to substi-
tute busses for the electric railway
line operating between Washington
and Rockville.
w. B: Bennett, assistant to the
president of the traction firm, said
schedules now in effect will be am
plifed and system of "fe der" routes
worked out to give the Maryland COM
muterS a flexible type of service un-
paraueled in the history Of transpor-
tation in the nearby community.
Survey to Be Made.
An exhaustive survey is to be
started Immediately to determine the
most effective set-up for meeting the
requirements of residents in the south
western section of the county, which
has been served by the railway since
1892.
Bennett declared the schedule of
thorough service from Rockville, in
Guiding both the street cars and busses
that in recent years have supple
mented the regular railway schedule,
will not be disturbed, but, instead, is
to be augmented from time to time as
the necessity arises.
In addition, he stated, modern
buses will be placed in operation be-
tween Washington, Battery Park,
Edgemoor, Alta Vista and other places
along Old Georgetown road to provide
Evening star., 1935-05-12

residents Of those communities with
greatly improved facilities.
To Await Abandonment.
A feeder" system to serve points
of the main bus routes along Wis
consin avenue, Old Georgetown road
and the Rockville pike also Is to be
mapped out as an important feature
of the survey and will be installed
where needed.
Bennett said that it Is planned to
await until the street car line is aban-
doned before making the changes, but
added that busses would be pressed
into service to augment present facili-
ties If improvement work now in prog
ress along Wisconsin avenue threatens
to delay in any way the street cars
now running to Rockville.
He explained that it is first neces-
sary to obtain the permission of the
Maryland Public Service Commission
before abandoning the railway, which
the company expects to do by mid
Summer. Bennett said that little
trouble is anticipated from this source,
however, because of the overwhelming
sentiment favoring such a move.
The traction company announced its
decision to substitute busses for the
Rockville cars yesterday after the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce had
appealed to that firm to cooperate in
the chambers campaign for eliminat-
ing a ditch being created in the center
of Wisconsin avenue by current paw
ing.
Tracks Left Low.
The railroads tracks and right of way
is being left in a dangerous and I'm
slightly ditch by the work of raising
the grade of the street on either side
of the rails and paving the dual traffic
lanes.
Leaders of the Chamber of Com
merce now plan an appeal to the State
Roads Commission to remove the troll
ley poles, bring the avenue to an even
grade and pave it to width of rs
feet from the District line to Old
Georgetown road after the railway
suspends operation.
Original plans of the State Roads
Commission called for the work to be
carried out in that manner, but they
were modified after the traction COM
pany expressed its inability to join
in the plan and pave between its
tracks.
A committee from the chamber will
