SEC PREPARES TO
GUARD INVESTORS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Offi-
cials of the Securities and Exchange
Commission indicate they will be
ready to act as the guardians of in
vestors' interests in corporate reor-
ganizations when the Chandler Act
becomes effective September %.
Under the act, the S. f. G. may, with
the permission Of Federal courts, in
tervene in corporate reorganization
proceedings involving less than $3,-
100000. 1t also grants the commits
sion the right to file advisory reports
from Federal judges considering re-
organizations involving more than
$3,0oo,Ooo.
An official said the S. E. G. would be
ready to undertake its obligations the
day the law becomes effective.
There will be no need for lengthy
preliminary study or investigation, Z
he said. Corporate reorganization
has been under study by members Of
the commission since 1884. The staff
will be ready on September %, if nee
.essary, to step right into any reor-
ganization and to measure it by stand
ards established by years Of study
standards designed to best protect the
rights of investors. y
As the first step toward active par
ticipation, the commission called Il
Washington its eight regional admin.
istrators. They met with Samuel O
Clark, Jr, head Of the new corporate
reorganization division, who outlined
their duties under the act.

WHAT NEXT?

The Rural Electrifcation Admins
tration has announced an allotment Of
$4,000 for the construction Of a
locker type community refrigeration
plant near Piqua, Ohio The allotment
goes to the Pioneer Rural Electric
Cooperative, which in turn will lend
the money to group Of 300 members
and customers of the organization
who will operate the refrigeration
project. The plant will be powered by
current from the Pioneer Rural Elec-
trio Cooperative lines. The construc-
tion and operation Of this plant, the
first to be financed with rural electri-
feation funds, will be closely studied
by REA as an experiment which may
lead to the widespread use Of COM
munity refrigeration plants.

STEEL EXECUTIVES
DISCUSS PROBLEMS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).Dis
cussions are under way between steel
company executives and the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee look
ing to the Inauguration Of a joint eff
fort to solve certain problems of pro-
duction. Philip Murray, chairman Of
the committee, in announcing this eff
fort, said that he did not expect to
revolutionize relations between local
groups and managenents.
Four propositions have been sug-
gested as offering a basis for negotia-
ton They are:
4. The union will cooperate with
management to reduce costs, enlarge
sales, improve quality and in general
to advance the interests Of the in
dustry
% The management agrees tc
share equitably with the union any
benefits SO obtained, in the form Of
increased employment, better work
ing conditions, increased wages or de-
creased hours.
"8. Nobody is to lose his job as {
result Of any improvement that is in
stalled. If ways are discovered to dc
more work with less labor, they arc
to be put in gradually, and then only
with the consent Of the union.
"A. The research must be truly joint
in every respect. All facts and plans
are to be revealed to the union com.
mittee, and its understanding and con.
sent must be obtained at every STEP

One chilly night in the fall of 1892
an adventurer named Neccho Allen, in
the hills Of the Appalachians, built a
small campfire and rolled up in his
blanket for nights sleep
Ii the morning when he awakened,
the fire, to his amazement, was still
burning, deep red glow; a fire from
which came an intense and unusual
heat.
Allen investigated. Why, he won
dered, had the fire burned all night,
and still burned bright and hot.
He noted that he had built his fire
beside some black rocks, and now it
was the rocks that were burning and
glowing in the mornings new light
AS early as 1880 an English monk
had noted the finding of some black
rocks "that burned" but nothing came
of that.
Allen, the pioneer, was different. A
forward-th thinking man, he realized
that rocks do not burn, and that here

Greensboro, N. C. (ILNS). Man
agement Of the Greensboro mills of
the cone textile interests announced
that all four plants would be closed
until further notice following the
walkout of more than 1000 workers
protesting a pay cut.
The number participating in the
walkout had increased to nearly 5000
of the 5000 workers employed at the
four mills when time for the morning
shift arrived. Those workers who at
tempted to enter the plant were told
that operations had been indefinitely
suspended.
The strike, with union and nom
union members alike participating,
began when a 1913 per cent pay cut
went into effect.
A few hundred workers walked out
first, followed by increasingly large
numbers during the day at White
Oak, Proximity, Proximity Print
Works and Revolution Mills.
The White Oak plant was closed a
few hours after the first walkout, but
company officials announced that an
effort would be made to keep the other
mills open.

brought an immediate response from
strike leaders They called a mass
meeting of workers which they said

FRIDAY, JULY p, 1888
RIGHTS, LIMITED

Free speech in New Jersey is a priv
ilege, not a right. It is especially in
ferior to property right" Vice
Chancellor Maja Leon Berry So de-
clared at Newark when issuing an IN
junction that forbids Local 66 Of the
Furniture Workers Union to distrib-
ute circulars OF carry on other picket
ing activities in the vicinity Of
stores handling products of the Metro
politan Upholstery Co., against which
its workers are striking.
"The right Of free speech, says the
judge, rs a special privilege Of citi-
zenship granted by the constitution. 2
Apparently, he means the state consti-
tuition of New Jersey, and he definitely
holds that the Federal constitution
does not apply" "The Fourteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion is not involved"
There are two classes Of constitu-
tional rights, says the Judge "(1l abb
solute rights, and (2) qualified rights,
which latter are more in the nature of
privileges Among the natural
and inalienable rights mentioned in
the Constitution are those Of
acquiring, possessing and protecting
property"
The United States Supreme Court
held last spring that freedom Of
speech and Of the press included the
printing Of leaflets and pamphlets.
Vice Chancellor Berry has been
noticeably anti-labor Three years
ago, he enjoined tie striking News
paper Guild from distributing it's
strike paper; and Haywood Broun
from broadcasting annoying Ian
guageo from a sound truck. a year
ago, he proclaimed a closed shop con
tract illegal and unenforceable;

SUGAR WORKERS
SETTLE STRIKES

Philadelphia (ILNs) Striking en-

Philadelphia have ratified settle
ment Of the Walkout which started
June %. The pact provides for a
closed shop, labor pool for the in
dustry, seniority, and one weeks va
cation year with pay. It was ap-
proved by 1000 employees of the Penn
sylvania Sugar Company and 500 en-
ployes Of the McCahan Sugar Rein
ing and Molasses Company. The
strike Of about 900 workers for the
Franklin Sugar Refinery Company

in these black rocks was new and
unknown force.
Others were told Of the remarkable
BLACK rocks and soon it was found
that they, in reality, did burn.
An industrial revolution was at
hand, to change our whole way Of
living.
In the next 50 years the tremendous
unforeseen forces Of anthracite, which
Allen had discovered, were harnessed.
Man delved deep into the earth for
the black rocks and with the use
Of them, launched the incredible march
Of progress in modern civilization.
Today from the 'black rocks" comes
the purifying force that changes ore
to steel, drives mighty engines OF
sportation across the expanse Of
a continent, mighty ships on the
bosom Of the ocean and with the
power generated, lights the thousands
Of cities and towns.
1t is 146 years since Neccho Allen
built his eventful fire in the wooded
wilderness. Today a third Of a billion
tons Of black rocks" are used every
- months
What new and mighty forces still
remain hidden in the hills and plains
Of America? Have all of the nations
natural resources been tapped?
That question dwindles in compari-
son with the more pertinent question
of the fullest and most competent use
of the resources that have been un-
covered.
There are still new worlds to con-
quer; worlds existing in the forces
that are in everyday use now.

WAGE sLAsHEs AND LICENSING

a definite move seems to be on
among employers to cut wages. It is
a recent move; coming on since signs
Of industrial improvement and busi-
ness pickup have been noted by prac-
tically all observers. In textile mills,
attempted wage cuts are running from
10 to 1918 per cent-one slash in
Greensboro, N G., On no less than
5000 workers. Cuts Of equal size are
proposed in some steel fabricating
plants. In Cleveland, 300 auto me-
chanics have been notified, not only Of
a slash Of 20 to 40 per cent in wages,
but of week Of 48 hours instead Of 40.
All these things have come since a
definite upturn in business came in
sight. All Of them have come since
the Wage-Hour Bill was passed. These
facts, taken with the distribution Of
the cuts, make one wonder if manu-
facturers are making deliberate tests
of how much labor will stand, and how

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

is much older, and has made much less
progress. The first flight of this kind
was that of the Montgolfier brothers,
who, In 1888, sent a balloon filled with
hot air and carrying a sheep, dog
and a rooster. Another man, de Roz-
ier, went up the same year; but he,
too, went where the breeze carried
him. The first dirigible lighter-than-
air craft came in 1852; and in 80 years
almost the same time that the air
plane has been developing it had
reached possible speed of less than
Is miles an hour.
These We're French devices. Later,
the German Zeppelin came; the best
of its kind Count Zeppelin thought
his craft would win the war. OF the
81 war Zeppelins that Germany built,
6 were captured, IL shot down, and 81
destroyed by wind, weather or acci-
dent And the record of dirigibles in
time of peace is fairly plastered with
accidents.
Nature has developed some mar
vellous flying machines The hum
ming bird is the envy of aviation en-
gineers; scores of soaring birds do
their task with more easy sureness
than we have yet learned. But nature
has never made a strong flyer that
was lighter than air, and, so far, man
hasn't, either.

Hour Bill did not improve their feel

On December II, 1908, a man was
carried through the air in a heavier
than-air machine. He was up for 90
seconds, and travelled a little over
LOO feet; and the age of aviation
began.
Nothing else, not even radio, has
shown such an astounding speed of
growth. The airplane was ten and a
half years old when the World War
began; and everyone knows something
of the part which it played in that
contest. 1t was 16 years old when, in
the person of the NC4, a u. S. naval
plane, it crossed the Atlantic by the
Azore route, in May, 1919. 1t was
only a month older when John Alcock
and A. W Brown, two British fliers,
crossed from Newfoundland to Ire
land. It was "a when Lindbergh flew
from New York to Paris in 1927; 26
when Byrd went by air to the South
Pole and back to camp; % when Wiley
Post and Harold Gatty flew around
The Northern Hemisphere-and now
Howard Hughes. And all this in less
shan 50 years.
Around the Northern Hemisphere
for YOU can't so round the earth until
you either follow the equator or cross
it twice on the trip.

oair Of wings; but flew too close tc

stuck 'em on was melted. But he has

generation.
