The Irritation between La Belle France
and the bearded Russian Is becoming
serious, if one can judge by surface ap-
rearances. France for a number of years
has shown symptoms Of soft place In
her heart for that big overgrown Musco-
vite But you can't tell anything about
such things, she is so tickle. Just the
other day she was caught with that Dago
from Rome, who was looking unutter-
able things while squeezing her hand.

TO IMPROVE SOLDIERS HOME.
Executive Committee of Board OF
Trustees Discusses Plans

trustees discusses Plans.
The executive committee Of the board
of trustees of the soldiers home will
hold a meeting this forenoon at the home
for the purpose of discussing what I'M
provements shall be made in the way Of
remodeling and repairing some Of the
buildings this year.
The recent legislature appropriated
$128. 600 to be used in improving the pres
ent buildings at the soldiers home, and
also to build a new dining hall. The
provisions of the law. as constructed by
some of the members of the board Of
trustees, are. however, that only one-half
Of this appropriation will become avail
able this year. The attorney general has
been asked for an opinion as to whether
.ors not all Of this money can be drawn
this year. If 1t cannot the new dining
hall will probably not be built until next
year, as the improvements, in the line
Of repairs and remede1ing, will be made
first, and after these have been made
there will not be enough left Of half Of
the appropriation for the new building.
It Is understood that an architect will
meet with the committee today, and that
the committee will report to the board at
its next meeting.

On the Wrong Track.

Y INDICATIVE OF a hurtful spirit
and one which organized labor
Il must abate before it can hope to
command the broadest public le-
spect is the resolution before the Fed
Grafton of Labor providing that no en-
ploycr of labor shall be eligible to n
seat in the convention and that any
union now having employers in its
membership shall be notified 10 e%pel
them within ninety days or forfeit its
charter.
The obvious purpose of this propo-
siton is e. prevent employers from
learning what the unions do in their
meetings Yet employers really anxious
10 learn rarely find ii difficult 10 dis
cover the secrets of labor unions. That
being true in Il majority of cases if not
all cases. the exclusion of employers
would have little other practical effect
than to publish to the world that or

denial of the claim. put forth in the
more discreet labor literature. that
organized labor wants to draw close to
organized capital, that the aim of its
leaders is To remove impediments to n
better mutual understanding and eS-
tablish new relations of umity and con-
cord.
1t must he apparent To keen obscrv-
ers that this resolution is an outcrop-
ping OF the fundamental fallacy of the
labor movement AS now conducted:
namely, that the labor union should be
an instrument for the subjuGution OF
the employer; that lis shoulder must
sustain II chip and it's right hand hold
club. We believe that this spirit uc-
counts for nine-tenths of all the oppo-
sitiun that organized labor encounters
ana that the labor union in the United
states Will never become n Genuine
success for the men who by their dues
support 1t until Il type of leadership he
evolved which will courageously east
this false prejudice on the scrap heap
and substitute the directly opposite
policy of rultivating friendly relations
with employers, so that the mutual in

be studied and promoted,
