Soap Mentioned In Bible. The word soap Is -to be found In the Bible. Q Jeremiah, Chap. 11.. i erse 22, which reads: "For though thou wash thee with nitre, und take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity Is marked before uie, ssltb the Lord God." The word will be found In one "tber passage, namely, In Malacbl, Chap. HI, verse 2: "But who may abide the day of his coming? and who sholl stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's scap." Lace Tree.

Us workuiri'eiul even Hie railway emvloyeea tlmselvea. are .di rectly Intep'sieos with the rallroadsf In culllna down railway operaim ex- pIIStS," This le tin keynote of the case pre sented by the ,ralliiada lo the lulted Slates KlllriAtd ljibor 'Board, now In 4ion In 1'hlcago. . The rallroadt .have submitted evi dence to the board to show why the National AgreemVnta affecting railway shop labor should be abrogated, believing- that this le vitally important step In the precise of reducing op erating expenses. This step Is not only neci'ssary to nsure adequate earning power lo the railroads, but will make possible an ultimate reduction In rates. The agreements were made by the Itallrond Administration Just before the end of Federal control. The sum lotal of the rules and working condi tions provided by the National Agrw nienls have Increased the nrallng ipencs of the railroads by hundreds of millions, and have 'decreased' the efficiency and output of the employees In other ways resulting In losses which cannot be calculated In dollars sad cents. For several weeks the railroads have been multiplying Instances of the absurd and extravagant results nt the labor rules fastened upon them by the National Agreements. In one rase cited before Ihe hoard a machinist was paid 16V4 hours' wages for work fill performed wllhln eight hours. This case Illustrated the effect of the rule that for each "call" the worker Is to be paid five hours' wages even If he works only ten minutes. The case of a car repairer on the Virginian Railway, who was recently paid over $1,000 for services which were never rendered, and In aiiiiiiion the same amount of overtime os was made by his gang, was another example. In connection with t ic rule Hint none hut mechanics or niprrniiti- sbull do mechanics' work, the follow ing was cited to Indicate Its unfair ness: ' . Five Hours' Pay for 30 Minutes' Work "The Kl I'nso & Southwestern Rail road recently had an engine set nut at Douglas, nnd about the time It was ready to go to Its tralo.it developed that a window light was broken la the cab. It. was necessary for the foreman to cull a carpenter to do the work that he could have performed himself In a few minutes. The train' was delayed one hour nnd !I0 minutes, noil Ihe em- nlovee called to do the work was paid Hve hours fur work -requiring- 30 min utes." I . The Inefficiency created In Inflexible application of "the" rules contained li the agreements In question was Illus trated In the following actual case which recently occurred on the Haiti- more & Ohio Railroad : j "An engine was placed In the shops for certain repairs. Because of the provisions of the National Agreement, It was necessnry that members of five crafts perform parts of this work; formerly, the entire operation was performed by the members of but two crafts." 8. 500,000 for Work Not Performed How the railroads of the country were compelled to pay almost $fl,500, OnO In the first six months of IWO for service not rendered because of the effects of hutone of the rules In cluded In the Shop Crafts National Agreement waa shown lu the testi mony. This punitive pnyment for work nev er performed w-as required by a clause in the National Agreement, w-hlch pro vides that when employees are re quired to check in and out on their own time they will be pnid one hour extra at the .close of each week. The rigid classifications of lahnr, when luken In connection with the rule that requires 'list a man must have four years' exiiorlenee before lie-, inx employed to perform any of the work listed In Ihein, result In paying rales npplb-nbie to men w-lui nre sup posed to be fully qualified for work which docs not require men of four years' experience. To I 111 1st role how the inncxlhllltlcs of many of the rules now enforced op- erste to mulct the railroads of large sums for services which in Ihe ab sence of these rules could he obtained for. relatively moderate sums, evidence was laid before the Ijilior Hoard show ing that three men who were em ployed nt s II pumping station In Michigan, performing unskilled work, would, w hen classified under the rules, receive an exeess of psy amounting to more than the inlue of sll the ws ter pumped and current generated at this stniloii. The t'hlcsgo testimony contain lit rally hundreds of Instances such as these, sll supporting the contention of the railroads that the tabor rules un der wltieli they have been forced to work are such ss to. prevent (lie "hon est, efficient nnd economical manage ment" demanded by the, Transports tlon Act High grade coal at a LOWER prima i Woodmen Lo.loes.jjo the friends and J.
