CHAPTER FIFTEEN A Useful Companion

By this time it is easy to see that the sailor had some problems on his hands.
 He was supposed to be hunting for Ielga who had been stolen by the white fox. He had angered an earthworm and the Woods Fairy by playing a trick on them to get the magic acorn.
 He had wanted the acorn to help the squirrel that had swollen to the size of an elephant. Then what happened? The squirrel shrunk to the size of a house-fly.
 Well, well, pretty kettle of fish thought the sailor. He left the squirrel village and walked over to his boat to run up the sails. Of course, all the while he did he watched the squirrels to see if they would stop him, as they had before.
 They followed him to his boat, but they only watched him si- lently. The old gentleman squirrel spoke:
 Sailor, we know you couldn't help it that our boy grew too small. Don't be afraid of us any more"
 Thank you" said the sailor, still thinking he'd better not talk too much.
 Better Than a Key
 Whats more" said the mother squirrel. 'If you won't be gone too long, take our son along. He's so little now he won't see much of the world unless he travels with someone"
 That's very nice of you said the sailor. But I must consult my sea she'll" So he pulled the shell from his pocket, and listened. This is what it said:
 Whats better than a key in q lock when the door is shut?
 The sailor puzzled and then thought, Of course, this little fel- low can crawl in and out of places I'd never get through. He may be of help"
 So he jumped from the deck of his boat and went over to the mother squirrel to say: Put your

THE LOW DOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

About every day, when you pick
up a paper, you viii see where they
are shooting another dozen or one
half dozen over there in Russia.
And pretty soon they are gonna
have to do quite a little lookin'
around to find people to shoot. Like
in the early days in the U. S., they
had plenty of buffalo and they
thought they would never run out
of 'em and they shot 'em just for
a buffalo robe.
And some day it will maybe the
same in Russia. And it is kinda
funny that you will find people
here in the U. S. A, on soap boxes
and other places, here and there
and you will find 'em favorin' max
in over our Govt, and try out
some foreign idea, or some newism
or asm that has not been used, but
sounds great.

service, and economy. The South
ern Pacific has proceeded along
these lines, and desires to continue
to do so. but liquid resources and
reasonable credit are essentials to
that program.
In the national interest, the
situation of our employees must also
be considered. The Southern Paci-
fic transportation system had So
304 employees in 1929. Under falling
revenues, there was a decrease to
1852 in 1888, and with improve
ment in earnings a gradual increase
to rs ,4S0 on September Is, 1887. A
average of about one-half of thC
Gross income goes to payrolls
Gross revenues are dependent, o.
course, both upon the volume of
business and the general level Of
rates, but if railroad is to main
tain and expand its employment, Il
must have an adequate genera
level of rates SO that it may under
take changes and expansions which
it would normally do if financially
abe. The difference, from a public
viewpoint, of the Southern Pacific
employing $4,000 men in 1929 anC
only $4,000 in 1888 with payroll
cut in half, is of great concern" "

Revenues Increase,
Net Income Dwindles

While the operating revenues of
Southern Pacific in 1897 will show
an increase of $22,000,0OO over
those of 1886, net income will show
a reduction of more tha n$13, ,000,-
600, according to Hale Holden,
chairman of the Southern Pacific
Company, testifying before the In
ter-state Commerce Commission in
support of a rate increase for all
the railroads.
The 1897 increase of s22,000,000
in Southern Pacific operating reve-
nues, he said, will be accompanied
by an increase of $27,000,000 in
operating expenses. because of in
creases in wages and prices of
materials and supplies, and by an
increase of $5,OOO,OOO in taxes.
In consequence, Holden continu-
ed, despite the $22,OOO,OOO increase
in gross revenue in 1887 as COM
pared with 1886, net railway operat-
ing income of the company will
show a decline Of more than SILL
100000; and net income, after pay
ment of fixed charges, will show
a reduction of more than $13,000,-
600.
Throughout the depression, tn
quality Of railway service has beer
steadily and substantially improv-
ed" Holden said. For example,
the speed of Southern Pacific's
manifest trains has been increased
by rs per cent between San Fran
cisco and Portland; by 81 per cent
between Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco; and by A per cent between
Los Angeles and Ell Paso, Texas.
All this means cost, putting upon
the railroad a greater burden which
must be covered by adequate charg-
es.
Newer and lighter construction,
air conditioning, faster service
changes in motive power and i'm
provements in terminal operation
illustrate what should be under
taken in the interests of better

SAVANT UNDER
 BAN BY NAzIS

ORONO, Me, Oct. 26.-Prof. Er- nst Harms. who is a guest of Prof Robert s. Levinson of the Univer- sity of Maine, is a native of Ger many, but he says quite casually that he dare not return.
 He has received unofficial but convincing information that, should he make the attempt, he might neever come out again A concen- tration camp for life, he has every reason to believe, is the least he might expect.
 This is because he has had the mentality to conceive and the cour- age to proclaim views on the subject of Nordic supremacy that run fat ly counter to those held by Der Fueher and his Nazi followers.
 Professor Harms is part Jew and part German. But it is not this fact alone, he says, that troubles the Nazi authorities. It is because he, German born and reared, has dared openly to challenge Der Fue- hrer's pet theory of Nordic supre- macy.

PEACE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED FOR Z LABOR GROUPS
Three Point Program Given Forth at Conference,
 Washington CERTAIN INDUSTRIES FORMED, NEW SYSTEM National Convention Would Be Called to Make
 Ratification

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. = The CIO today submitted a three point peace plan to the AFL at the joint peace conference.
 The proposals call for establish ment of an autonomous" Depart ment within the American Fedora ton of Labor to include industrial unions engaged in mass production marine and public utilities serv- ice, and basic fabricating industries workers.
 These industries are to be organ ized only on an industrial basis as opposed to the traditional craft union organization policy of the AFL.
 National Convention
 The proposal also called for a National Convention of all AFL and CIO unions to ratify the agreement and work out necessary rules and regulations to affectuate it."
 All national and local unions now affiliated with the CIO will be af- filiated with a new AFL Depart ment.
 Under the plan these unions will adopt their own departmental con- stitutions and elect their own off cers.
 The Department will be known as the CIO and will have complete au- thority in handling organization workers in the industries named.
 Lee Pressman, CIO General Coun- sel, said the peace proposal will probably give John L. Lewis control of the Federation because c O claims about half a million more members than the AFL.
 The AFL issued a statement at noon today saying it was unable to make any reply to the proposal "at this time We sought an explana- tion of certain features but were unable to get any helpful informa- tion from the CIO committee this morning."
 The joint conference will meet again tomorrow.
