The coal miners of France, with an
ight-hour-and-a-hal day, are actually
at work but seven and a half hours.
They demanded an eight-hour day, and
that the hour occupied in going down
the shaft and the underground jour
ney be allowed as part of it.
1t takes the average member of this
organization three hours to earn dol
lar. If they would allow minute for
thinking purposes for every hour thus
used and devote this minute to judi
cious thought, they would surely use
the dollar 10 the advantage of fellow
unionists by insisting on procuring
goods marked with the little JOKER

There is no eternal truth more
clear than this, that the world owes
most to the man who is able by his
brain and Drawn to honestly wrest the
most from it. He deserves most not
only because he can win it but because
he can also best take care of it.
