WORLD TRUSTS
COMING
Louisville, Ky.—"The basic indus
tries of the world will be organized
on an international scale by 1950,"
was predicted by O. H. Cheney, New
York banker, in an address before the
convention of the National Associa
tion of Credit Men.
This organization of industry will
take place, regardless of our wishes,
and we cannot stop it by calling it
names and waving the Stars and
Stripes, the speaker said.
'Production will be controlled and
regulated to gear with reasonable de
mand. It will be better organized
and it will be more favorable to the
United States and to the American
consumer if it is organized with our
co-operation.
"For centuries there has been inter
national economic competition, but "it
has never been so intense and on such
a large scale as since the war. In
Europe business men learned long ago
to join the cartel, which is a kind of
organization not permitted in this
country. In the past few years the
Europeans have gone further and
have organized international cartels
FIVE-DAY WEEK
During Summer For New
York Union Offices
By International Labor News Service
New York City.—Every labor union
office in New York city is now on the
basis of the five-day week. Whether
a union official wants to work on Sat
urday or not, he will not find his effi
cient stenog. on the job on that day
inless special provision is made.
Bookkeepers, Stenographers and
Accountants' Union 12646 through
Business Agent Ernest Bohm has put
through the agreement that workers
in union offices have Saturday all day
off from Decoration Day until Labor
Day. The labor headquarters and lo
cal unions have been prompt to com
with the request as well as the
other unionized offices, including po
itical, fraternal and publishing head
quarters.
The establishing of the five-day
week has added greatly to the prestige
of the B. S. and A. U. Strange as it
may seem the 300,000 clerical workers
in the city have not yet realized what
this union can do for them if they
will join. Even now, every union ste
nographer is getting 25 per cent more
salary than the non-union worker in
addition to the five-day week. No
where can a clerical worker find bet
ter conditions than in a union office
and yet the huge army of typists re
mains more interested in the tabloids,
the bathing beauty contests, the latest
doings of the Gumps and "true love
stories." There is a golden knight
ready to rescue everyone of them if
they only realized it and that doughty
warrier is none other than union labor.
TELEGRAPHERS SIGN
NEW WAGE SCALE
By International Labor News Service
Chicago.—Representatives of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
America, Roscoe Johnson, president
land Frank B. Powers, secretary-treas
urer, recently negotiated new scales
I for Chicago and New York as follows
Press, $57.24 day and $63.25 night
[Morse, $44.75 day and $50.25 night
automatic printers, $37.25 day and
$39.75 night brokers, $65 minimum
and $85 quotation.
Other scale negotiations during the
months of June and July, taken to
gether with those already closed, will
affect more than 3,000 telegraph work
|ers in the United States and Canada
Secretary Powers says that the
strong efforts made by the commu
nists to wreck the organization in
Canada have signally failed. The fight
was a bitter one while it lasted, but
the good sense of the members finally
prevailed, with the result that the
morale and strength of the organiza
tion has been improved.

TRUST BUSTING
AIDSSTANDARD
New York.—Cash dividends paid by
companies comprising the Standard Oil
group will total $54,272,766 in the
second quarter of this year.
"And everyone knows," says the
Wall Street Journal, "that the Stand
ard Oil companies pay tp shareholders
very small per cent of Jhe money
they earn."
The high dividends for the second
quarter has been made despite over
production in the oil industry that re
sulted in the appointment of an oil
dictator to regulate production in the
largest field in Oklahoma.
The United States supreme court
dissolved the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey in 1921. The corpora
tion was held to be a trust. The
following year total dividends for the
separated companies was $51,686,534,
and have annually increased.
Exact Time of Dawn
Important in East
Earliest careful studies of twilight
duration were made by the Arabian
astronomers, and there was a special
reason. The Moslem religion pre
scribes daybreak—the beginning of
dawn, or morning twilight—as one of
the five daily hours of prayer.
Moreover, during one month in the
year a strict fast is observed from
this time to sunset, says Nature Mag
azine of Washington. Hence as far
back as the Eleventh century the time
of daybreak at various seasons of the
year had been determined with con
siderable accuracy.
The same authorities distinguished
between true dawn and an earlier
faint illumination of the eastern sky
known as "false dawn," frequently
mentioned in tiie literature of the
Orient.
The line in the Itubaiyat "Before
the phantom of false morning died,"
refers to this phenomenon.
It is the zodiacal light, supposed to
be due to sunlight reflected from fine
particles of matter entirely outside
the earth's atmosphere. It is best
seen in low latitudes especially in
the pure air of tropical and subtrop
ical deserts.
In the United States It is visible
at certain times of the year, but not
where city lights prevail.
Stone Slab Recalls
Church Built in 1717
One of southwestern New Bruns
wick's interesting historical spots Is
Meductic, once the site of an Indian
village. Here the Indians had a
rather important fort and here the
French established a mission and in
time built up a little church. Louis
XIV was so impressed with the work
of the priests that he caused to be
shipped from France an elaborately
designed bell to be placed in the bel
fry. The church stood for muuy years,
during which, tradition relates, many
stirring events occurred about Meduc
tic, among which were the clashes be
tween the English and the French and
their Indian allies.
One day a Mr. Hay, owner of the
Meductic property, was plowing near
a clump of bushes that alone remains
to mark the site of the church and
the nearby fort, when his plow struck
a slab of slate. The stone was not
whole or intact, but enough of It was
left to contain an abbreviated Latin
inscription, in which it was set forth
that the church, dedicated to St. John
Baptist, had been erected by the Mall
ates in the year 1717, while Father
Jean Baptiste Loyard of the Jesuit
order was in charge of the mission.

Fir
at to Find Microbes
The hobby of a Janitor 250 years
ago opened the way for science to
wage war on microbes and also to
enlist their aid In the flght for health.
The janitor was Antony Leeuwen
hoek, native of Delft, Holland, whose
hobby was grinding leuses. Micro
scopes had not been highly developed,
being merely hand lenses that would
hardly make a 10-cent piece look like
a quarter, but he made better and bet
ter lenses with the fanatical persist
ence of a lunatic, Paul deKrulf re
lates in his book "Microbe Hunters
He examined everything and hnally,
when he looked through his toy of a
gol^-mounted lens at a fraction of a
small drop of clear rain water, he dis
covered there were little animals In
it, swimming and playing around
These were microbes and he was tbe
first man to see them.
Sun Stopa Bald neat
Physicians and hair specialist* are
now advocating going bare-headed
where climatic conditions permit, as a
preventive of baldness. One of the
contributing causes of loss of hair
a too-tight head covering. The dl*
carding of the hat or cap removes
this stricture and also allows fre$ a
tion of sun and air on the scalp. A
normal person loses about forty hairs
each day. If these, on a woman with
unbobbed head, are less than six
Inches long and form one-third or
more of the combings of three days,
then there is some scalp trouble which
should have medical attention. Too
many young hairs falling from a
man's head may be detected by the
uncut ends.
Mind a Well Trained
In India and other parts of the
Orient, some natives have developed
the ability to sleep a predetermined
number of hours to a remarkable de
gree. An Indian scholar, for Inst* nee

WITHOUT LIMIT
Funds Used to Break N. Y.
Car Strike
New York.—An investigation of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
reveals that money without limit was
used last year to break an independent
strike.
These workers belong to a company
union." Some of the strike expenses
were: $43,348 to detective agencies
$42,090 for "field men," the new title
for stool pigeons $12,000 for auto
mobile hire $21,116 to strikebreaking
agencies $50,000 for kitchen equip
ment and ldundry.
The constitution of the company
union" was the work of the Inter
borough's attorney. The strike cost
$967,000, not including loss of fares.
Strikebreakers were paid $10 and $12
day while motormen who refused to
trike were paid their usual weekly
wage with a bonus of two-weeks' pay
when the strike ended.
The employes^iccepted a 10 per cent
age cut in 1921 "to save the com
pany from bankruptcy," but shortly
after the board of directors increased
the salary of Frank Hedley, president,
from $65,000 to $75,000 a year. The
attorney who drew up the company
union" constitution, was advanced
from $60,000 to $72,000, and the as
istant to the president drew a $5,000
increase.
The company has secured an injunc
tion against the legitimate union of
street car men.
LABOR POLICY
Of U. S. Favored in Europe,
Says Frey
Washington.—"Industry must be
rationalized and labor must be given
a voice and participation in its appli
cation."
This was one of the outstanding
resolutions passed by the International
Economic Conference, recently held in
Geneva, according to John P. Frey,
editor of the International Molders'
Journal and president of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, who has
just returned to this country. He
served as labor advisor to the Amer
ican representatives to the confer
ence. Thirty-seven nations were rep
resented.
'One of the first contests," said Mr.
Frey, "was on the failure of the sec
tion on industry to appoint trade
unionists on important committees.
This policy was objected to by the
Americans, headed by Mr. Henry Rob
inson, California banker and business
man and chairman of the American
delegation. Eventually the organized
workers secured recognition.
"What the conference meant by
ratification of industry' is the appli
cation of scientific methods in indus
try, so well known to Americans."
DEFICIT
And Anti-Union Concern
Issues More Stock
Pittsburgh.—The Pittsburgh Coal
Company will sell $7,830,800 common
stock to replace expenditures that
have been made for "plant improve
ments." The program calls for the
immediate replacement of $3,500,000,
which has already been spent.
This corporation broke its agree
ment with the United Mine Workers
and reports a deficit of more than
$3,000,000 during the last two years.
"Plant improvements" is an elastic
term. It may mean payment for 300
special coal and iron police, for the
importation and maintenance of
strikebreakers and for its costly at
tempt to operate 18 of its 54 mines.
The improvement really needed by
the company is the grade of workers
necessary to mine coal.

GREAT FUNS
Being Prepared By Eagles
For Fourth of July Out
ing and Celebration
Butler Aerie No. 407, local lodge of
Eagles, is making elaborate arrange
ments for what is believed will be the
greatest Fourth of July celebration
and outing ever staged in the long
history of the lodge. The big affair,
as has been the custom for many years
past, will be held on the Butler county
fairgrounds. To that end, that this
year's affair be the biggest ever, the
committee in charge is meeting most
every night, thinking, scheming and
doing much head-scratching in work
ing out every small detail so that no
one of the big crowd expected to at
tend will have the slightest excuse for
complaint that it is not the biggest
ever.
All the old-time features and attrac
tions will be provided, together with
many new ones. The Eagles' annual
celebration is growing year by year
until those of the past few years have
been outdone in pretentiousness only
by the big Butler county fair. Many
professional concessionaires are bid
ding in for the privilege of plying
their wares.
Motorcycle racing will again be the
big afternoon attraction. Entries to
these speed contests are steadily com
ing in from some of the best known
and speediest riders in the country.
There will be nothing left for the
speed fans to complain of after wit
nessing the Eagles' big afternoon
show.
The fireworks contract for the big
night display has been awarded the
A. L. Due Fireworks Company with
every promise the display will he
worth going miles to see. In addi
tion there will be daylight display in
the afternoon. Band concerts will tie
staged afternoon and evening. There
will be all kinds of contests and games,
for young and old, throughout the day.
Lunch and refreshments of all kinds
will be provided so that it will not be
necessary for anyone to bother about
preparing lunch if they feel so dis
posed, though the committee invites
all to fill their baskets, come to the
grounds and make a day of it.
And what better place could one
find for celebrating the Glorious
Fourth than at the Eagles' outing and
celebration at the Butler county fair
grounds—plenty of shade, water,
benches, weather protection, music,
amusements and entertainment galore,
conveniences of every description. Fill
the basket, get the family together,
and make a day of it at the Eagles'
outing.
GOVERNMENT UNIONS
ARE NOT APPROVED
Geneva.—By a majority of one vote
the International Labor Office refus
ed to adopt the Mussolini formula that
workers be given the right to "asso
ciate freely in conformity with the
laws."
Delegate Elvin, of the British
Trades Union Congress exposed this
adroitly worded defense of govern
ment-established unions. He said it
would legalize the annulment of work
ers' rights to form trade unions.
The conference adopted by a single
vote an amendment proposed by Hun
gary that workers have "the right to
associate freely in legal form."
