Two trade disputes of considerable
magnitude are at present going on in
Glasgow. Scotland. They are con-
nected with the stating and the hand
sewn boot and shoe Industries. Both
are being carried on with determine
ton on both sides, and both societies
are receiving support from kindred
organizations. The trouble in each
case results from a question of wages.
About a dozen more Boston unions
recently added their protests to those
previously made against the decision
of the A. F. of L executive board. as
stated by President Gompers, which
would prevent state branches, central
labor unions, district councils or local
bodies placing any firm or person on
the unfair list without first submit

Fall River (Mass) Spinners' union
recently voted to notify the manufac-
turers that they will withdraw from
thes liding scale wage agreement now
in force at the end of the present six
months period. 1t was because of the
severity of the last reduction and the
prospect of still further reduction in
wages that the spinners decided they
wanted no more of this sliding scale.
The department of labor at Washing

THIS MOTHER is WRONG.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

A Worcester mother has burned her
children's copies OF Mother Goose"
Andersen's Fairy Tales and the
whole juvenile library of classic fancy.
Hereafter, she says, stern realism
shall rule her nursery.
No Santa Claus.
No Jack, the Giant Killer.
No Alice In Wonderland.
Only facts"
Now, what does the woman think the
fabric of a child's mind is made Of?
Why the childish imagination is like
an oriental garden run riot. Its early
fancies are of the wildly improbable
visions impalpable, mirages that rise
and fall. When the child calls the roll
of its infantile heroes and heroines,
strange shapes and glowing sprites
answer, Here"
Well
There is no harm to the child's fu-
ture in the Kaleidoscope of its early
imaginings.
Sometimes, indeed, the mother may
be startled at some of the special won
ders seen and reported by her inno-
cent offspring. She needs only to re-
member that she herself was once a
child. She will understand.
In the early years the athletic mental
forces are just getting under way for
the long race that is ahead. What
wonder II at first they indulge in some
freakish gambols?
This Worcester mother would put a
full stop to this gentle, preliminary
training of the gathering mental pow
ers of the child and bind them to the
treadmill of the grownups.
Impossible.
The warp and wool of the childish
mind is not built that way. The child
must needs indulge its childish dreams
1t must needs wonder at the doings of
the genii Of the little folk-else 1t is
not child. but only a freak of nature
1t seems this too careful Worcester
mother is afraid lest the "fancies OF
infancy may foster the superstitions OF
| maturity" Is it so? Has 1t been sc
of all the hosts of the children of The
past who have so devoutly bent to the
wondrous waving of the wondrous
wand of the fairy queens?
The solicitous mother may take
away and burn at the stake every fairy
| book in the house. Nevertheless ma
! ture never yet tamely permitted a case
| of arrested development.
The budding fancies OF childhood
cannot be nipped by human hands
| They must grow to their full fruitior
and flower
