PROTECT INVESTORS FROM
HOLDING COMP ANIES

]. t. Fogarty, president Of the
North American Co., says that the
courts will protect investors from the
holding company law But who will
protect investors from holding CON-
panies?
Glass A stock of Hopson's A. G. &
Z. Co. was unloaded on the public as
high as S72.62 share 1t dropped
to Is cents a share. The investor in
that stuff had a little over a quarter
Of a cent left out of his dollar. No
court protected him.
Holding companies Of Insults Mid

market value Of more than 81 2,00O,OO0,-

they have no market value whatever
The investor was completely gypped
with no protection from the courts.
Once more, who will protect invest

protection is in sight save the

seeks to destroy.

INJUSTICE OF PRIVATE RAIL.
ROAD PENSIONS

Propagandists for the amendment
to the social security bill sponsored
by Senator Clark, Of Missouri, ex-
empting corporations with private
pension systems from the provisions
Of the measure, occupied considerable
time extolIing the alleged benefits Of
the private plans when the bill was
before congress.
Organized labor opposed the ex-
emption. William Green, president
Of the American Federation of La
Dor, said it was common knowledge
that 4the management Of many indus
tries discharge employees when they
approach retirement age
It was also pointed out that pri-
vate pension plans can be abolished
at the win Of the companies which
establish them without consideration
Of the rights Of the insured employees.
This point was emphasized by Repre-
sentative Withrow, Of Wisconsin, long
a member Of one railroad brother
hoods, in regard to railroads with pen
sion systems to which employer and
employe contribute. 1t has been our
experience, he said, that the man
agements have found reasons to lay
off employees on one pretext o. another
prior 10 the time they reach a pension
able age
This criticism Of private pension
plans in general and railroad pension
plans in particular was trenchantly
expressed in the report of the senate
committee on interstate commerce rec
ommending the enactment Of the new
railroad retirement act which congress
passed few days before adjournment.
Your committee finds" the report
said, that while there is some form
Of pension system on 90 per cent of
railroad mileage, each such system
is maintained by the carrier who re-
serves the right to reduce the pen
sion payments or to discontinue them.
"Retirements on pension are re-
stricted in nearly every such system
to attainment Of no years Of age with
from 20 to 35 years Of continuous
service with the particular carrier.
These restrictions deny the benefits
of pensions to many employees who
have served the industry for equally
long periods, but whose service may
be divided between one or more car
riers, or may have been interrupted
and broken its continuity with any
single carrier.

PHILCO RADIO
EXPANDS
Increasing Demand for Ra-
diOs Necessitates Many
Additional Workers

With more than $500 workers on a
payroll which amounts to nearly one
million dollars month, Philadelphia
Storage Battery Company, makers Of
Philco radios, are employing many
additional workers to keep pace with
the increasing demand for radio in
struments.
"The hours and working conditions
are better than the NRA code for the
electrical industry said G. E. Dem
ing, executive vice president of the
Philadelphia Storage Battery Com
pany. "Philco's hourly rate is 25.2
per cent above the average of the bal
ance of the radio industry as shown
by figures compiled by the United
States Department Of Labor.
''The advances of science and inven-
tion in the field of high fidelity radio
reproduction during the past year
have made possible a fuller enjoy
ment Of the many excellent programs
offered the radio listeners of Amer
lea. Greater public appreciation Of
the wealth of available radio enter
tainment, music, news comment AM
education, has translated itself into
an increased demand for quality in
struments. The result has been record
breaking production for Philco during
the first half of 1886, with indications
pointing to even greater production
during the next six months. Philco
will continue to use the tried and tested
glass tubes in the sets it manufac-
lures. The increased demand for our
sets reflects consumers confidence
in our product. In spite Of claims
made for the metal tubes, Philco does
not believe in experimenting on the
public
"The remarkable ability Of short
wave sets to bring in foreign stations
with surprising regularity and clear
ness; the advantage of having all the
broadcasting services in one radio; and
the improved reception obtained with
all-Wave noise eliminating aerials
have contributed to the popularity Of
radio.
Not only in home sets is the in
creased production during the fall
months anticipated, but also in auto
mobile radios. The greater enjoyment
Of motoring in radio-equipped auto
mobiles has become so apparent that
it is expected public demand will soon
establish radio as standard equipment
for all leading makes Of automobiles.
In commenting upon Philco's labor
policies, Mr. Deming said: "Philco
accepted and bettered NRA working
conditions; recognized the American
Federation Of Labor unions on closed
shop basis; signed a working agree
ment providing an orderly way of
handling industrial relations; increas-
ed rates to the highest in the industry;
paid additional bonus at Christmas
when earnings permitted; and believes
that fairminded labor and manage
men can work together in harmony to
produce quality in its products at a
fair price at which the public can buy
in volume and thus maintain its lead
ership in the industry which has as
future products wired radio and tele-
vision"

THE DISASTROUS F1LIBusTER

! -:o:
| THE DISASTROUS FILIBUsTER
One would like 10 know what Huey
Long thinks Of his filibuster now. Al
ways preaching liberal doctrines, ex-
eept some times when preaching rad
zeal ones, Huey, time after time, has
backed up his words by his votes.
So far as old newspaper men can re-
call, Huey Long is the first liberal
who has reached the senate from Lou
isiana since the Civil War; and little
as they might care for his manners,
people who want to see progress in
government felt pretty sure Of Huey
Longs support.
And then, by ranting flibuster,
Huey has endangered and perhaps
blocksd for many months almost the
whole reform program which congress
enacted. Old age pensions, unemploy-
ment insurance, aid for crippled chill
dren and destitute mothers, aid fof
the blind, pensions for retired railroad
workers, the work Of the new labor
relations. the Guffey coal act-alg
those and several more enlightened
laws are hampered and perhaps for
months completely blocked because
Huey's filibuster kept congress from
appropriating the money for them.
A drunken cowboy with a pair IF
six-shooters could scarcely wreak
more damage on the lights and win
dows Of a frontier town that Huey
Long has worked among the reforms
Of the last session-most of which he
supported
Il IS well, too, to assess a proper
measure Of blame to the leaders of
house and senate who gave Huey his
chance. They agreed to adjournment
at fixed date; and fixed dates are
the JOY and opportunity Of flibusters.
Senator Norris thought he had ended
such things when he put through his
lame duck amendment to the con-
stitution, abolishing the former short
session Of congress which had to end
automatically on March A. Yet the
most destructive flibuster in years
comes III the first congress meeting
after that amendment was adopted
How long can you hold this posi-
tion?' asked General Thomas Of Col.
George, Of the Second Minnesota, when
the Confederates were pouring
through the gap at Chickamauga and
threatening to sweep the Union army
out Of existence. "Till the regiment is
mustered out Of service" was the col
onel's answer. 1t would be well if
the leaders Of congress would learn the
Minnesota colonel's contempt Of fixed
days, and hold its position until it can
muster itself out Of service with all
its work done.

The Cherry
SYw Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

How badly some of the big indus
tries smashed code standards after
the Schecter decision is shown by the
figures offered by the United Textile
Workers. In 50 states 1900 mills
are charged with discrimination
against union members to a total Of
$4,000 That's where the code went
to in that case. Wage and houl
changes took place right and left.
A good deal of business will observe
labor laws only when they are forced
to do it.
| There must be a policeman in every
| plant, and the only force that can serve
in that role is labor-the UNION.
That seems to be the real truth
about industry.
There are plenty Of employers who
really would like to establish the high
est possible standards, but always
there is the rat in the hold Of the
ship, knawing away.
The rat, by and large, sets or large
" influences the standards.
Senator Huey Long talked five
hours IN the closing session Of con-
gress, So that the third deficiency bill
died.
This bill carried riders providing
for the new social security board and
other new boards.
Huey killed these appropriations.
And he didn't win anything for any
body.
What hero he turned out to be!
But d joker was slipped into reso-
luton giving a house committee au-
thority to investigate elections. The
joker permits investigation Of ANY
THING, including, some think, the
Hon. Huey P. Long, Of Louisiana,
kingfsh and long distance talker.
So Huey's 5-hour talk may turn
out to be a boomerang.
And that would be interesting.
The commissars in Moscow seem
Ito think Americans are foolish, short
of memory and general all-around
boobs
They tell Us they aren't responsible
for what the third internationale says
or does.
And thus, they say, Russia hasn't
broken any promise.
How simple it all is; and how lovely.
The right hand isn't to blame for
what the left hand does.
One moment the red organizations
are just one happy family; the next
minute they don't know each other,
aren't on speaking terms and couldn't
for the world have any mutual respon-
sibility
What a racket
The only fly in the ointment is that
we really aren't that simple, but Of
course the soviets will never believe
it They run true to form and We
probably shall do the same.
Communism has built its destruc-
tion machine stronger in the United
States since recognition.
The communist machine has had
American protection while it has done
SO.
Labor knew that would happen
said 50 many times.
The American government wouldn't
believe that labor knew what it was
talking about.
Someone is going to have to pay the
price for our foolish kindness.
There are indications now and then
that Uncle Sam is the universal goat.
He stands for almost anything up
to a point. And then he turns around
and the retibution is glorious to be-
hold.
Communism has played ducks and
brakes with the United States long
enough, it seems.

that the stock was increasing and the
range decreasing. This region had
been named Deer Lodge by the Indians
ia early days because so many deer
ranged here, keeping fat the year round
on the rank, tall grass. There was open
water, summer and winter. BY 1875 or
1876 the Deer Lodge valley could no
longer pasture the number Of stock on
that range, and the Grants began to
look for more and better range. They
also reduced their herd by selling stock
to the settlers on Sun river and other
northern streams.
There we're two requirements ia sel-
ectng q range: plenty Of good rich
buffalo grass, and safety from rayages
of the Indians. In looking over the
vast open territory around the foot
hills Of the Teton mountains, hemming
Sun river, the Grants found luxurious
grass and wen sheltered, well water
ed range. At Dupuyer creek, then part
Of the Piegan reservation on the border
Of the Indian lands, James Grant
found all the requirements for stock
ranch. That part of Montana was un-
settled by white men, and the avail
able range extended north to the Cam
adian line. There was no one to dis
pute their possession. Here the Grants
built cabins and corrals and prepared
to move half their stock to the new
range early the next spring.
That winter was a bad one. The
Grants loss in cattle was heavy on ac-
count Of the overstocked condition Of
the home range. When spring came,
and the roundup started, the Grant
horses and cattle were equally divided
and james took his half to his new To-
cation where he would make his home

until he passed away.

his friendlinesss Jimmie had the good
win Of all who knew him.
For many years the stock industry

But In the course Of time, as 10 other
parts Of the country, the stock bus
mess was overdone, and stock herds
we're crowded farther east, keeping on
the heels Of the swiftly vanishing buf-
falo. Although ct this time Sitting
Bull was looking for scalps, the set
tiers kept croWding down the Big Mud
dy into dangerous territory, cleaning
up the last Of the once big herds Of buff
falo and replacing them with great
herds Of cattle. In this way the ranges
were first utilized, then overlooked by
newcomers hearing Of the great pos
sibilities in the stock business.
Along in the early sos we had some
very hard winters, and cattle losses
were heavy. But Grant by this time
had accumulated quite a lot Of hay,
and by feeding the poor cows and
calves he got by with small loss. Many

Grants were located on the old Emil
grant trail, where they had plenty Of
opportunity to buy up sore-footed and
played-out horses and cattle. Awaiting
themselves Of this great opportunity
they soon had a nice start In both cat
tie and horses. The stock, coming as it
did from the eastern states, was Of
good quality. The Grants were soon
known as the cattle kings Of Deer
Lodge valley.
Captain Grant, like many pioneers,
was married to an Indian woman. She
was a good, intelligent woman, and a
fine cook for that day and age. Two
boys were born to them, John and
James. The boys we're sent to st. Louis
each fall, taking passage on the last
steamboat leaving Fort Benton. They
were well educated in the st. Louis
schools; and they returned each spring

but one would hardly know it from
their looks or actions. For many years
the Grant ranch was a welcoming
home for all travellers passing that way,
and no charge for their generous hos
oitality was ever thought Of. Not long
after Captain Grants death, his faith
.ul wife followed him across the Great
Divide. The boys then married half
blood Indian women, and from these
Inions nice families sprang up.
The two brothers ran the home

In those years many changes were
taking place. The old sturdy hunters
and freighters were changing to other
pursuits. Many Of the old-timers were
taking up choice land and launching
out into the stock business. Captain
Grant Of Deer Lodge, an old Indian
trader and government scout, was one
Of the first to start stock ranch. The
