He was speaking of the great naphtha wells of the Baku peninsula on the Caspian sea, a field that is still producing great quantities of oil, after these hundreds and hundreds of years of free flowing. Which suggests that probably we will have oil and gasoline for some time yet, despite the fre- quent fret of oil magnates lest the supply be speedily exhausted. A well that was flowing 100 ship loads six or seven hundred years ago, and that still is gush- ing, gives the flivver owner hope. THE ROCKEFELLER PLAN Industrial corporations seeking some plan of co-operation with their employes to reduce indus- trial unrest and secure more harmonious relations are turning to the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company’s experience with its industrial representation plan. No more unpromising field could have been selected for a test of industrial democracy than the C.F. &I. The plan was inaugurated following .a visit to Colorado by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in 1915, after one of the most bitter industrial stryg- gles in the history of the country, in which the bloody battle of Ludlow will always be remem- bered. In an endeavor to prevent a recurrence of such a disaster, the C. F. & I. drew up an industrial con- stitution embodying a plan by which every worker would be represented equally with the employers, and a way opened for the presentation and settle- ment by joint conference of every possible griev- ance, . Sullen and suspicious, the employes at first looked on the new plan as merely another “camou- flage” to prevent unionization of the mines. The Miners’, union, partially defeated in the strike, ith some not voting— tion by the company on account of membership in When you are through, look over your marks, |any society, fraternity or union.” As a matter of fact, union men are active on the committees, as well as non-union men.

The other day 12 men—six of them steel work- ers in their overalls, six of them officials of the company—sat around a table at the Minnequa Steel Works and argued the case of a steel worker who was charged $10 at the ‘company dispensary for the sewing up of a scalp wound received in a fight. The workmen explained that thissemploye was not to blame for the fight and they thought his $10 should be returned to him. After thrash- ing out the matter, the full committee agreed that this was just, and the chief surgeon was ordered to hand the employe $10. The twelve men were a joint committee select- ed as part of the machinery of the industrial rep- resentation plan by which these steel mills and the coal mines, with their 12,000 workers, are gov- erned. The plan is embodied in two written docu- ments; first a trade agreement signed by officers and men, covering hours, wages, working condi- tions and fixed charges for company houses, light and water supply. This agreement is subject to revision on 90 days’ notice by either side. The other document, the “industrial constitu- tion,” pledges each side to strict observance of all federal and state laws governing mining and labor, guarantees every employe against discharge with- out notice, except for such offenses as are posted at each mine. For any other offense the employe is entitled to warning in writing that a second of- fense will mean discharge.

Study Shows Half New WAGES'LL NEVER OVERTAKE PRICES York State’s Working Women Get Less Than $14 a Week ..N. E. A. Special to The Tribune. .1 _ New York, Sept. 25. — “We cannot increase wages with the hope of over- taking price standards. They will prove as elusive as rainbows,” says Rev. F. E. Johnson, research secretary of the Commission of the Church and Social Service for the Federal Council of the Churches pf: Christ in America. “A large factéy in advancing prices “As to lowering prices to present ards? In many trades wage levels now represent an increase equal to At the! same time, the Jess skilled and less \ well organized workers, especially women; are working for starvation wages. This the public does not un- derstand. “A -recent study including more than 20,000. women employed on full time in factories and stores in New York state, revealed: the fact that more than half of them were working for less than $14 a week. It goes without saying that prices will never be lowered to such a standard as that. “I see no remedy other than the establishment of a minimum wage to protect the living standards of labor, and the limitations of profits in all forms of industry and business in- volving the necessities of life. g Staff Writer on Religious Topics “IT am the least of te apostles.” “I am debtor to the barbarians.” “I am the chief of sinners.” And here in these declarations of life, you have the secret of his great- Today, he is counted the greatest missionary in all history.

But that was when he was quite As he came to know men better, and as he knew his own heart, You never saw a really big man who | “HEART OF THE APOSTLES” | wise and to the unwise,” reads the record as he wrote to the Romans. Now this was something of a con- fession for Paul to make, but’it was just another sign of his bigness. He might have said: that he was “a self-made man,” and that every- thing he knew and had had come to him just through his own personal efforts—that he didn’t owe anything to anybody. When a man is “self-made,” the brand generally shows—he looks it. Men’ who are actually great''get their greatness from others, and one: sign of this. greatness is ‘their readi- ness to acknowledge it. Even the commonest man has had to the man who is eager to learn. There’s nothing more illuminating or instructive than human experience. It was a sage who said that the chief study of man is man. “I am debtor to the barbarians.” Remember, too, that Paul was talk- ing about religion. He was big enough to understand that even the so-called heathen could teach him something about God. No sect’ or creed has a. mondpoly of wisdom about religion. “Other sheep I have*which are not of this fold,” i Jesus once said. It will’ be recalled that Peter once said: “God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth 'Him- ‘and worketh' righteousness, ‘is accepted with Him.” it Without the experiences of those who have preceded us there would be no knowledge or progress.

[wine ma eonrons —_] GOOD ROADS Sunday night’s distressing accident, in which George Juergens and Eddie Noonan lost their lives, again presents most forcibly the great need of better roads in North Dakota. Fills, with grades none too good, dot almost the entire state, and hardly a day passes but there is reported the over- turning of automobiles resulting in death or seri- ous injury to the occupants, ie In the matter of good roads, North Dakota seems to be far behind her sister states in the country and it is high time that legislative action should be taken to overcome this shortcoming as an attraction to prospective settlers. ‘Apart from making travel-more easy, the sav- ing in wear and tear, not alone to automobiles, but to horse drawn equipment is not to be esti- mated, and the improvement can be made without Ladditional-cost to the taxpayers, the hard surfac- roads being paid out of the taxes being ing of homey was all the time talking about his bigness—he can’ afford to leave that to other people. It rarely happens that a man doesn’t get credit for what he is and what he’s done—mostly for what he is. Somebody onée said that a man is responsible for his face at forty. What he is has by that time become indelibly stamped upon it. His char- actor is written there as In letters of iron. The man who has the hardest time to get to the front is he who is always telling others that ‘he deserves the chief place—such a man is almost in- variably invited—or kicked—back to the foot of the class. He who is actually worthy of the front line jeb will have the way open- ed to him—others instinctively step aside to make room for him. But he’ll never get there by making a fuss about himself, “IT am debtor to the barbarians.” Not only was Paul slow about praising himself—he was swift to praise others—eyen the barbarians, “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the “BAYER CROSS” ON GENUINE ASPIRIN { tj “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin” to ve | genuine must be marked with the safety “Bayer Cross.’ Always buy an unbroken Bayer package which con- tains proper directions to safely re- leve Headaches Toothache, Earache, Neuralgia, Coldgiand pain.
