TELEPHONE CO.
HARD TO CRACK

St. John, N. B. (ILNS) Although
covering adjoining provinces, unions
have found organizing conditions
greatly different for employees of the
Nova Scotia Telephone Company and
the New Brunswick Telephone Com
pany.
A. F. of l.. organizers have estab
lished union of employees of the
Nova Scotia, or Maritime Telephone
Company. This company owns neither
a daily newspaper nor radio broad
casting station, and did not provide
opposition to the unionizing of the
help.
The task is in glaring contrast with
the New Brunswick Telephone Com
pany, which has successfully resisted
all efforts to unionize the employees.
This company established a daily
newspaper monopoly about Ia years
ago, buying out and discontinuing all
opposition, and then boosting adver-
tising rates. The owner and founder
of the st. John broadcasting station
was also forced out, and the telephone
company took over.
With the newspapers and radio SOL
idly lined up against unionization, the
organizers have been unable to ac-
comnlish ANYTHING tangible. 1t has
been impossible to get their side of
the situation before the public either
in print or over the air. The tele-
phone monopoly, incidentally, has
been cutting deep into the newspaper
payrolls, and many have lost their
Jobs in an economy drive.

Better Than Mustard Gas

(From The Washington Daily News
President Ralph C. Hutchinson of
Washington and Jefferson College has
announced four courses this year de-
signed, according to a United Press
dispatch, ITO teach that European
wars are the periodic result of Euro
pean hatreds and jealousies of age
old duration and that the United
States can have no interest in out
breaks so purely local in nature and
would suffer as a dupe if this nation
became involved"
This seems to us a better way to
learn this ancient truth than lying on
ones back afterward in hospital for
days or months or years and coming
to a recognition of the fact too late
Or having just a flash of recogni-
tion in the split second between the
time the bullet strikes and oblivion
Congressional medals are not given
for such sound sense as DR.. Hutchin-
son displays, but perhaps that would
be a good thing. 1t is worth en-
couraging.

N. Y. A. WORK IS
AID TO SCHOOLS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Dur-
ing the last fiscal year, youth en-
ployed on N. Y A. work projects COM
pleted construction of, additions to,
or repair and improvement of 5,256
educational buildings, according to a
preliminary tabulation of physical ac
complishments made public by Au
brey Williams, administrator of the
National Youth Administration. These
included schools, dormitories, libra
ries, museums, art galleries, and other
types of educational structures.
Likewise in the field of recreation
the Y. Y. A. work program made i'm
portant contributions. A total of 1850
new social and recreational buildings
were completed by N. Y. A. youth last
year, and 2,455 were repaired and i'm
proved, including such structures as
youth centers, community buildings,
auditoriums and gymnasiums.
The work program of the National
Youth Administration provides part
time employment on useful public
projects for needy young men and
women, between the ages of Is and
"a, who are out of school and unem-
ployed
Many communities have been un-
able within their normal budgets to
make sorely needed improvements.
Through the N. Y A. work program,
with the federal government paying
the wages of youth labor, it has been
possible for them to provide new fa-
cilities which could not otherwise have
been made available, Administrator
Williams says.

WHEELER ENDORSED
BY R. R. UNION HEAD

Cleveland (ILNS)-D. B. Robert
son, president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
has endorsed Senator Wheeler for the
democratic presidential nomination.
"I have an immense admiration for
President Roosevelt, but / think we
may take it for granted he will not
be candidate for third term," he
said in a formal statement. "'Un-
written laws are sometimes more
sacred to Americans than those which
are printed in our statute books. /
am sure the President shares that
feeling"
Robertson said that the social and
economic advances made during
Roosevelt's administration must not
be lost and that he felt Wheeler was
the man to carry on.
II am sure that the workers of our
country have confidence in Senator
Wheeler. And | believe that conf
dence is shared by the farmers and
by large numbers of business and
professional people," he said.

currently showing in schools, col
leges, women's clubs, and societies
throughout the country, contains
the first satisfactory micro photo
gaphs ever made in the United
States of the living moving spiro-

test; and Paul Enrich, discoverer
of arsphenamine, a drl G used in
treating syphilis. Present day Sc

The story of syphilis, as por-
trayed in with These Weapons
progresses through the principle
of diagnosis and treatment am
depicts the disease in its relatio'
to individual and public healtl
and the various agencies cor
cerned with its conquest.

LET THERE
BE LIGHT
(From the Evening Star, Washington)

(From the Evening Star, Washington
The latest order in Germany, al
ready bristling with edicts and re-
strictions, is for those engaged in
night work to eat lots of carrots, an
occasional tomato and generous doses
of fish OIL AS rule the Nazi regime
never bothers to explain it's dictates.
1t is not for the citizens to reason
why, it is theirs but to do and /or die,
but this time they have been given a
reason. These articles of diet or rich
in vitamin A, and one of the things
which much overworked vitamin A
does is to improve vision in the dark
This would seem to be dangerous
experiment for the German govern
ment to undertake, for the simple but
sufficient reason that it might work
too well. The first thing they know
Hans and Fritz may begin to see
through the darkness of their own
gloomy position and wonder why it
is their fate to be in the worlds dog
house every few years in an enforced
blackout, and just why they alone of
all mankind have to nibble carrots
and tomatoes and sip fish oil. The
notion of swapping their government
for one with less glory but more gravy
may strike them as reasonable, not
reasonable.

MILLIONS VIEWED
TWIN FAIRYLANDS

Continued from Page One)
Similar casualties occurred all
through the foreign section.
Open to the end at New York
were exhibits of seven nations
which had passed out since the
fair opened. The Polish and
Czecho-Slovakian pavilians were
kept open by contributions of
friends in the United States.
Materials in these and other
pavilians of non-exiSting nations
were sold at auction in the clos
ing days
All Did Not Profit
Smaller than the New York
fair, the San Francisco exposi-
ton was regarded locally at least
as a financial success. Not every
one made money-there were
some costly failures among i'll
advised eoncessionaires = but it
was reasonably profitable for
both the operators and the city
in general The final financial
report awaits completion of sal
wage operations.
Harvey D. Gibson. chairman OF
the board at the New York ex-
position, announced IN the final
week that bondholderS would re-
ceive 39.2 cents on the dollar.
Operating profits for the 1910
season were s.. .020, 600.
