also cured.
Radica has been adopted by some sisters

MANY Big FIRMS
REDUCING WAGES

That labor is suffering a general re-
duction in wages where it is poorly or
ganized and where no organization
exist is born uot by the following re-
ports:
The cotton manufacturers of Rhode
Island following the recent action Of
Falls River mill owners, in deciding on
reduction of 10 per cent in wages on
Nov. %, have ordered a general cut
down affecting practically every mill
in the State and several in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut. The reduc-
ton will become operative in some
plants on Nov. %, and in others a. week
later.
Through the mediation of the citi-
zens' committee of Chicago, complete
shut down of the Inland Steel Com
pany has been averted. While the strik-
ing employees of the sheet mill of. the
'. plant were: in session recently the COM
mittee made its appearance and report
ed that the steel company had agreed
to reconsider the proposed cut Of 1917
cents. This action has minimized the
partial shut down and it is believed
that the entire plant will be in opera
ton in less than two weeks
When the Demmler plant of the
American Tinplate Company, of Pitts
burg, was ready to start up Monday
after a. weeks shutdown for repairs
| the management notified the men that
a 20 per cent. reduction in wages would
| have to be accepted by them if the
plant will operate under the new
schedule.
The Wabash Railroad has issued
! orders making 10 per cent, reduction
in its machinery department. The men
effected are in Decatur and Springfield,
| ILL.,, and Fort Wayne.

A LABOR QUESTION.

One of the most pronounced of the
hobbies of Prof. r. Of University
says Lippincott's was the digestive
and assimilatlve properties of various
foodstuffs. He always gladly en-
braced an opportunity to inculcate
some one of the lessons he had learned
by dint Of experiment, analysis and
research.
On one occasion the professor was
out for a walk, and his way led him
past farm house. He observed the
farmer feeding corn to drove OF
squea1ing porkers. Here was an OPP
portunity to impart a bit of valuable
information.
What are you feeding to those hogs
my friend?'' the professor asked.
Corn, professor the grizzled ole
farmer, who know the learned gentle.
man by sight, replied.
Are you feeding it wet or dry?"
DRY
Don't you know if you feed it wet
the hogs can digest it in one-half the
timer
The farmer gave him a quizzical look
Nov see here, professor" he said
chow much do you calculate hogs
time is worth?' -

ANTI-TREATERS
BACKED BY LAW

AS result OF a search through musty
old law books, it has been found that
the anti-treating agitation in Vermont
has legal leg to stand upon. A meas
ure passed many years ago, and not
repealed, contains this section:
NO Intoxicating liquor shall be sold
or furnished to a person, or other per-
son, or any number of persons, to drink
in the licensed premises in the way
commonly known as *'treating."
The temperance people have seized
upon this antiquated weapon and
promise to swing it heavily in the face
Of esta bIshed custom. It is commended
that the American practice of "settins
it up is responsible largely for over
indulgence in intoxicants.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 26.-(Special
Correspondence.)-At special meeting
of the Employers Association, held
last week, it was decided to raise a.
fund of $1,000 for the purpose of
prosecuting Arthur A. Hay, Special
Representative of the International
Typographical Union, for criminal libel.
Having received sufficient warning Of
this desperate move on the part Of Har-
rison Gray Otis of the Los Angeles
Times, who is the Chairman of the
Executive Committee Of the Employers,
Association, the Anti-Times Committee
has made arrangements to furnish the
| necessary bail and fig. re case in the
highest courts of the land.
In one sense it is absolutely lud1crous
to note his action of the gang Of
"Parrysites." In one breath the chal-
lenge organized labor by screaming
definace, stating the boycott is a
boost" and in the next issue of the
malodorous Times it insists that the
Unions are prosecuting business men,
and such law1essness must be sup
pressed by Chief of Police Elton.
The specific charge to warrant the
arrest of Mr.. Hay is to be made on
lne grounds that that gentleman has
| criminally conspired with the local
organizations to the end that a certain
local adertiser in the Times has been
| boycotted by the labor Council
| 1t is unnecessary to state that in a
community where the mayor is as
spineless as Jelley fish and the police
department is the servile tool of the
Employers Association, the authorities
will be more than pleased to do the bid
ding of their master, Otis.
Several arrests have recently been
made on misdemeanor charges for
publicly denouncing the methods of the
| Times at open-air meetings, the result
| having been the formation of the Free
| Speech League, which purposes to see
| to it that the Declaration Of Independ-
ence is upheld.
Should some Of you readers chance
to see circular which is being mailed
| by the thousands, inviting working
people to come to Los Angeles, where
it is stated, wages are abnormally high
and opportunities for advancement are
greater than in any other section OF
country, it would be prudent to investi-
gate. The surplus of mechanics in
Southern California is greater this
winter than ever: before, and people
who have been 1ured to Los Angeles
and vicinity by these circulars, emanat-
ing from the Employers Association.
have had: reason to regret their action.
The sole purpose eof flooding this Sec
tion with; mechanics and fnskilled la
borers is: to create an ,over-supply of
wage-earners; thus reducing wages and
attempting TO disorganize' the unions.
Anyhow, the local ~Anti-Times Com
rnittee is not losing any sleep over this
last desperate move Of the Employers
Association to- send it's members. to the
penitentiary;,' for: criminal libel, as it
considers it a supreme stretch of simag-
ination for anyone to, libel: the warrior
bold of the: Los Angeles Times.

THE SAVAGES AND
THE SURPLUS
A Story With a Moral.

The great chief, Want-a-Heap, had
studied the white mans ways. Then
he went back to his tribe and said:
1--WE will hunt the buffalo together;
TIL be the boss"
Ten braves went with him. They
killed buffalo, ate Of it, and had some
left. What was left was their labor
surplus. They killed more buffalo, and
ate more, but still the surplus grew.
At the end ia week the surplus, over
and above their support, was 80 large
they could hardly lug it to camp.
''Tote it to my tent" said Want-a-
Heap. Its all mine."
"How? :How?" cried the braves.
tits the white mans way said
Want-a-Heap. I'm the boss, and the
boss always takes all that is left after
his brothers have eaten.'
"But what is left is ALL" yelled the
|rothers. eve have nothing ifyou take
it. We can't rest if you take it. We
must always go and give, and have no
MEATH
Nothing could induce these unculti-
waited beings. Want-a-Heap was sad.
He went back to the paleface to get
more knowledge: When he returned
to- the. tribe, he said: -. Il. =,
~ No. start right. Try it aagin. = Call
the land and the buffalo mine. I'll hire
you; pay you wages; give you five
cents a pound for good meat; then
