Exchange Says Business Agents
Are Frequently Too Arbitrary

Business agents of building trades
unions in cities outside Of New York
are truly representative of the organi-
cations by whom they are employed.
They make full weekly reports, and
receive instructions which they re-
ligiously carry out. Those, if any,
who get above" their business and
seek to dictate policies Of use the
organizations to foster their selfish
interests are soon turned down and
other men elected in their stead. The
Manhattan business agent is the

Her first good work was to go to

the thing is inevitable. Such young

One day last month 1 met an art

African Pygmies.

The heads of the Pygmies were of
the brachycephalic order. says Samuel
L. Werner in the Atlantic. The mean
cranial index of the skulls of eight
adult males was eighty-one degrees.
The nose was small, but more aqui-
line than that of the real Negro. The
mouth was large and the chin usually
receding. The hair was of a lighter
color-almost shade of brown-and
was kinky and woolly. The hands and
feet of the Pygmies were small and
well shaped, the hands in particular
being delicately formed. In proportion
to their size, the strength of the Pyg-
mics far exceeded that of all the other
Africans. Their powers of endurance
on the march or in the chase were
phenomenal. Fifty miles a day was
an ordinary march for them, and they
were almost as much at home in the
trees as the monkeys themselves. The
senses of the Pygmies were unusually
acute. At quite a distance they could
distinguish the chameleon from the
foliage in which 1t was hidden, al
though the color of the little animal CO.
lncided with that of its hiding place.
Much of their quarry was discovered
through the powers of the nose, and it

Rights OF Union Men

Recently the New York court OF ap-
peals admitted the right Of labor
union to call its members out on
strike from non-union shop. The
decision was based largely on the
ground that employers would not be
legally responsible if a union man
we're injured through the carelessness
of a non-union employe. The right of
the union men to protect themselves
was acknowledged. Shortly before
this decision was made public a bill
was introduced in the Maryland leg
islature providing for compulsory in
dustrial insurance, after the European
fashion, which should cover all such
