Between 1925 Lewis Haney
and the time when the carriers
U) took up store-door delivery,
and (2) began to make their pas
senger service cheaper and more
attractive, they were losing stead
lily in competition with trucks and
buses, but 1 do not belive this is
the case now.
NOT RAILWAYS FAULT
What they now need is finan-
cial reorganization and less polit-
ical control, but neither Of these
difficulties Is inherent in the
industry itself.
At the moment, the outlook Is
for improved railway earnings,
arising from a cyclical gain In
traffic. Carloadings have been
showing a steady and more-than-
seasonal increase, and with q rise
in industrial activity in progress,
the upward trend is likely to con-
tinue for a year,
OF course, it is possible that we
will continue to sacrifice the rail
ways to farm interests and organ
lied labor. Undoubtedly, some rail
ways are weak both in triffic
possibilities and in finances, and
these may go under. but I think
that most lines are necessary, and
under efficient management will
eventually thrive.
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
Earlville, N. Y, asks: In case
Of initiation or a real bust, would
1t be better to have ones loans
from q bank or an insurance
company"
Answer: Evidently what is
meant is that people who have
insurance policies are borrowing
on them as a hedge against infla
tion. They figure that as prices
rise, the value Of q fixed sum Of
insurance money decreases: SC
they borrow money now, on the
theory that the debt they owe
also will decrease in value. On
these assumptions, they gain as
borrowing debtors what they lose
as policy-holding creditors.
But the question arises, II such
borrowing is to be done, Is II
better to do 1t direct from the
insurance company or to go tt
a bank?
At present, banks are forced BY
the large supply of cash deposits
to make lower interest rates thar
insurance companies can do, but
this Is a temporary condition. The
time would be likely to come wher
banks will raise interest rates o.
call in the loans, or both.

Georgia Congressman Says
Measure Is Another
March To Sea

Washington, d. c. QLNS).-Any
account of the sharp debate in the
House on the wage-hour bill must be-
gin, in fairness, by saying that Mrs.
Mary Norton, chairman Of the Labor
Committee, handled the measure with
vigor and skill, and in a way that
could not antagonize anyone. I'm
doubtedly, she must be credited with
a part Of the whopping vote by which
the Rules Committee was discharged
1922 to 70; and she opened the de-
bate afterwards with this:
II believe that every member Of the
committee is anxious for wage and
hour bill. There are a few who diff
fer from us on the form of the bill
but we are all in agreement that a
bill of this kind is very necessary if
we are going to help the underpaid
workers of this country, reduce the
relief rolls, and spread employment u
Georgian Is Bitter
Representative Cox Of Georgia set
a high water mark for recalcitrants

cussion of the wage-hour bill with a

"The abolition of this rule," he
said, "took from the South, as it was
intended to do, all power to impress

Tells Experiences At Union
Label Exhibition In
Cincinnati

Minerva, O.-Local Union No. 70
held the most interesting meeting of
the last six months last Friday night
when we held our regular session with
a smaller attendance than usual.
Brother Frank Hull was the speaker
of the evening and gave US the most
enlightening, most interesting dis
cussion on the Cincinnati show of the
Union Label. He detailed for US the
many exhibits displayed there by vari-
Gus trade unions. He has impressed
on our minds how very important it
is to demand the stamp. l heartily
agree it should be stamped on every
piece of ware made in a union pot
terry.
He answered a question regarding
the insurance clause which has been
bothering our members for sometime.
Since he enlightened US believe every
one understands it clearly.
After a lively discussion of a few
shop problems, we had the report of
the standing committee. Four sisters,
in question, have been returned to
their jobs. We want to thank the
standing committee for their fairness
to all parties concerned.
Mrs. Brown of Augusta is on the
sick list and we wish to send our best
wishes to her and hope she is on the
road to recovery.
The production of the shop remains
about the same. Casters are working
little slow on account of lack of
cookie ware orders.
We hope everyone attending the
"Buy American" picnic June II, wears
their Buy American" button and
wears it truthfully.
Don't forget to attend the next
meeting of the local June 10, as it is
election night for officers for the next
six months. Come to. local and help
put in office members you think are
best suited to run the affairs Of the
local.-O. c. 10.

ers, after failing to act on the matter
at board meeting Friday.

Sebring and East Palestine
Also Have Bus Service

Prepared to take care Of a capacity
crowd this year, the Potters "Buy

ranged every detail both at Idora park
and in the various pottery centers.
Everything is bound to go off in fine
fashion next Saturday, June II.
Four busses will take care of the
East Liverpool and Wellsville picnic
goers who do not go by auto. The first
bus will leave the local terminal at
8 a. m. and two at 9 a. m. Wellsville's
motor coach will leave the Central

The transportation committee states
that the first bus will leave the park
at $3.50. Definite time has not been
set for the others, but none will leave
later than Ii p. m. The sentiment Of
the passengers on the Wellsville bus
will be taken by committeeman Ray

this will determine the time of the
return trip.
The fare will be s1.25 for adults
and 60c for children from East Liver
pool and sl.35 for adults and 6Oc for
children from Wellsville. Wellsville
potters, missing their bus, can natural
ly trolley to East Liverpool and catch
later one. If more than four buses
are needed, others will be on hand,

coaches should prove more popular
than the train as trey will cut tha
schedule in haif and the Ear. is ..a.---.- 20.
Buses will leave Sebring at 9, 1890
and IL in the morning and return at
7, $3.50 and 10 in the evening. These,
like those used in East Liverpool will

Sebring had the fare at Toe for adults
and 35c for children. Passengers will
board the bus at 18th street and Ohio
avenue.
East Palestine is reported to have
busses ready to take care of as many
potters as wish to ride them, but no
schedule has been received here.
AS usual the program will start with

The checker tournament is sched-
uled for the eating pavilion at 1890
