CENSUS TAKERS USE AIRPLANES
Everything from airplanes to snow
shoes is being used by the agents of
Uncle Sam in taking the 1920 census
of the United States. About the only
modern method of transportation
either on, over or below land or water
that has not been employed in enu*
merating Uncle Sam’s nieces and
nephews seems to be the submarine.
Airplanes have come in handy in
enumerating the dwellers on the
islands off the coast of Florida; yachts
and rowboats have been used in the
harbors of the country; native canoes
have been in demand among the Ha
waiian islands; “flivvers” are being
used everywhere; the tried and trusty
mule team has carried the census
takers out on the desert regions, and
snowshoes have become the trusted
«ids of the census gathers in the
Northern states and Alaska.
INDUSTRIAL SUPREME COURT
Daniel Guggenheim, president of the
Chile Copper Compafly, arid former
president of the American Smelting
and Refining Company, advocates some
distinctly advanced cures for several
industrial evils in an article in the
eurrent issue of the Engineering and
Mining Journal.
Mr. Guggenheim advocates legisla
tion providing for proper means of
settlement of industrial disputes, so
that they may be decided on the basis
of right, and not on the basis of might.
To accomplish this, congress should
provide that investigation be made be
fore lockouts or strikes are permitted,
§o that the facts may be ascertained
beforehand. This legislation should
follow the lines of the Canadian and
Colorado plans, with such modifica
tions as experience demands, and ap
ply to all industries except public util
ities. In those industries where the
public’s interest is paramount,
strikes and lockouts should not be
permitted in any case, but proper ma
chinery should be put into effect tc
make it possible for albor to present
its view properly, and to compensate
for the loss of the strike weapon. -
Also a commission consisting oj
•*-. *
:.men of the highest standard; and whc
have had experience in connectior
with labor matters, should be appoint
ed by congress, with wide powers
This commission should be non-parti
san as to politics, and should be made
up of representatives both of the em
ployer and employe, with a chairman
to be appointed by the governmenl
and to represent the public. It would
be well to have these nominations
made from a list submitted by repre
sentative bodies such as the cham
bers of commerce and associations in
terested in the solution of this greal
problem, such as the Civic Federation
the American Association for Laboi
Legislation, and other civic bodies.
This commission should be provid
ed with ample funds to make thor
•ugh investigations of working condi
lions, wages, cost of living, and un
derlyin gcauses of industrial unrest
It should be so constituted as to pro
V
vide for itself sufficient authority and
dignity to draw the leaders of thoughl
along these lines. It should not be ir
any way subject to political machina
tion, and the tenure of office should
be during good behavior, and not foi
specific periods, so that, like our su
preme court, the commission will be
aloof from political turmoil.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (by Associ
ated Press).—As a step in the demo
bilization of the federal railroad or
ganization, Director Hines has or
dered^the discontinuance of all re
gional and district offices of the rail
road administration.
From the number already in the
field, you’d think a candidacy for the
presidency reduced the cost of living.
Ex-Emperor Charles of Austria wants
to be king of Hungary. Here is one
man who is not yet fed up with trouble.
As a fuel argument, a cold wave ap
peals more directly and forcefully to
the dear old public than to any one
else.
A woman bootlegger bit a police
man’s finger when he arrested her.
! That is to say, she bit the hand that
treed her.
That earthquake in Asia Minor was
probably nothing more alarming than
the high cost of living hitting the sul
tan’s harem.
The fact that an anarchist disap
proves of government does not prevent
him from being exceedingly anxious to
get into politics.'
Working capital, which appears to
be about the only thing that is work
ing, should sedulously refrain from go
ing on strike.
The London Post says it is humili
ating to have America settling the
Irish question. The London Post is
guilty of gross flattery.
When a preacher does not know how
else to make a sensation he can always
fall back on divorce or the prevailing
fashions in women’s dress.
Congress is asked to adopt measures
to foster the dyestuffs industry, but we
have waited too long, we fear, to ex
pect results by this coming Easter.
The Great Wall of China is said to
be crumbling. But it is not the only
institution of antiquity which is suffer
ing the same fate these iconoclastic
days.
It is both untrue and indiscreet to
say that the bolshevists have no brains,
and underestimating the resources of
the enemy has lost many a battle. The
bolshevists have brains, but misuse
them frightfully.
