A PRETTY GIRL.

She's not particularly bright,
At school they called her dull,
A boy in such case would bemoan
The thickness of his skull.
But now, when young men look at
her,
Their brains are in a whirl.
She's no Minerva-what of that?
She's such a pretty girl
She hasn't very much to say,
And doesn't say it well,
And yet, men readily admit,
She weaves wondrous spell.
No man denies her facile charm,
Unless he is a churl.
She's slow and stupid-what of that =?
She's such pretty girl

kee yesterday to address the national
conventions of the International Long
shoremen. Marine. and Transport Asso-

Of Theatrical Stage Employees. both Of
which are being held in Milwaukee. Hs
said:
The time has passed in America
when a lot of capitalists can get to-
gether and say that they do not pro-
pose to recognize labor unions.
II do not think that anyone will as
sert that the price OF meats has been
reduced that il becomes necessary
10 reduce the packers employees wages.
We know that they have gotten rid Of
the middleman in the meat trade
We know that they have introduced a
marvellous system OF economies IN their
business so that every little scrap Is
saved In every beef. sheep. calf. or hog
that Is killed
1T is more than probable that the ex-
PLANTATION will be that the fight is made
against unionism rather than on ac-
count Of inability TO grant the raise
