CHARACTERIZATION SOCIETY

DR.. Walter PietSch, who since his
arrival here with Mrs. PietSch the
latter part of last week for visit
in connection with the work of the
Alaska Evangelization Society, of
which he is a member, has been in
vestigat ting the possibilities of re-
building the Children's Home here
and a church edifice in connection.
He brought with him the author
ity to dispose of the former Chill
dren's Home building belonging to
the Pacific Protective Society home
office in Portland, also the head
quarters of the A. E. Society. Their
plan, which only awaits definite
word from the head office, includes
tearing down the present and for
mer ChildrenS Home buildings and
erecting a church with the home in
connection, where the present home
stands on the corner of 4th and E
streets
The plan is propitious one for
the town and can be considered the
best of news.
The removal of the former home
building will please both the city
and fire department as it was being
considered a fire hazard to the
town.

IN THE NEWS
JOSEPH B. EASTMAN

Joseph B. Eastman has been more
talked about for the last 10 years than
any other man on the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The only time he
has had to take second place in pub
licity was when the railroad unions
were trying to keep the favorite writer
of the Wall Street Journal off the
/. C. C.-and didn't succeed. And yet,
there isn't a man on the commission,
or in any other reasonably prominent
place in the government at Washing
ton, who cares less about publicity
than Joe 1t has been thrust upon
him, literally.
AS the son of New England Pres
byterian clergyman, Joseph Eastman
could be expected to stand by his con
victions. In the gay days Of the Twen-
ties. when the Wall Street Journal
said the railroads were worth $685.
000,000,000 and ought to be allowed
returns on that sum, Eastman held
that actual prudent investment should
be the basic factor in all public utility
rates; and with Frank McManamy by
his side, he fought battle after battle
on this issue At least, the two of
them kept the capitalization of the
railroads from being more top-heavy
than it is.
As secretary of the Public Franchise
League Of Boston, Eastman came into
close contact with Louis d. Brandeis
which couldn't help leaving its mark.
AS Coordinator of the Railroads in
1933-34, he gathered and assorted the
information which will be used to
solve the railroad problem if it ever
is solved. He deserves a Phi. d. in
railroad economies; and is-when you
can catch him-one of the most inter-
esting men to visit with that can be
found in Washington
He is fair-skinned, blue-eyed, tall,
rather rounded at throat and waist
line of recent years, and So years old.

Upholds Conviction
Of C. |. O. Strikers

Springfield, Ill. (ILNS).-A State
Supreme Court ruling upholding con-

emily ended their long fight to escape
jail sentences for defying court or
der to evacuate the Fansteel Metallur-
gical Corporations North Chicago
plant during a sit-down strike in Feb

The Supreme Court denied the men
permission to appeal from ruling of

Judge Theodore Forby of the Lake
County Circuit Court who pronounced
sentence.
The case is Of an intra-state nature
and could be taken to the II. S. Su-

der the most extraordinary circum-
stances such as the fling of charge
Of collusion against the state court.
