FOR AID
FOR FOREIGNERS
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF La
Dor TAKES UP CAUSE OF WAGE
WORKERS in sW=DEN-coNTRI-
BUTTONS ARE INVITED TO AID
IN THE CAUSE.

In a circular issued, the American
Federation of Labor, over the sigma
I'tures of Samuel Gompers. president,
and Frank Morrison, secretary, makes
a strong appeal for aid from. all organ
lied labor in this country and Canada
for the suffering strikers in Sweden.
The appeal follows:
4 To All Organized Labor: From
time to time you have, of course, read
the newspaper reports of the great
struggle in which the wagesworkers
of Sweden have been and are now en-
gagged Sweden, like other civilized
countries, has passed through an in
dustriaI crisis, which has forced a
great number of workers out of en-
ployment,, leaving them, their wives
and children, destitute. Advantage
khas been taken of this situation by
the employing classes to try and force
the. workers to accept such conditions
as. would eventually lead to the dis
memberment OF the organized labor
movement. The swedish conflict
icopId not DE avofdea Eighty thou
lsand WORKINGS were locked out and
out to force the workers into an i'm
possible sftuation. THE workers took
the other alternative ind declared for
and went out on strike. - ~
These matters have been officially
brought to the attention of the execu-
tive council and a request made that
all labor, it's friends and sympathizers
should, come to the financial assistance
of the Swedish workfnen, who are suf-
fering and struggling.
Contributions should be sent direct
Ito Herman Lindquist, 'Landssekre-
tariat." Stockholm, Sweden, or to the
! Swedish Strike Relief Committee, with
headquarters in Chicago. The financial
secretary of this committee is John
Dawn, 4041 North Sacramento avenue,
Chicago, Ill.
While thus placing particularly be-
fore you the need of the striking wage
workers of Sweden, the executive coun-
Gil at the same timc desires also that
you should not be unmindful Of the
need of the iron, steel and tin workers
Of our own country, who have been for
the past. months engaged in a great
struggle for the maintenance of their
rights and interests.
The above is submitted to you, and
through you to your Organization, for
whatever assistance you may be able
to- render.
Il By order of the executive council
ErAia Samuel Gompers,
President.

Secretary A. F. of y.

Women's Clubs
THEIR GOOD POINTS AND THEIR
FAILINes.

DOES club life benefit the average
woman7
Yes and no. 1t all depends on the
woman.
The woman who leads a narrow life,
who has been weighted down by the
cares OF domesticity and who has not
kept in touch with the events Of the
world-with literature, music and art
will find the clubs a great benefit
They will teach her a great deal and
bring her once more into communica-
ton with things she has been too busy
to cultivate.
The musical and literary programs
will be just so much mental food to
her, and IL she shows any promise at
all she will be brought forward and
gently assisted to do her share, which
will give her confidence in herself; also
by making her prepare papers to read,
ETC., her mind will be awakened from
It's lethargy, and ii will be like going to
school again for her. The woman who
Is lonely, who has no particular social
set or friends, will find the club a
great benefit. Clubwomen are easier
to get acquainted with than others.
They have a friendly feeling for the
stranger and are most hospitable. But
here the benefit ends The woman who
has a high social standing or many
friends will not belong to clubs. for her
time is too much occupied elsewhere.
and then, too, the class of women in
clubs is apt to be pretty mixed. and
mat makes a difference to many wo-
, hien
Also the woman who is very well
educated, who is very well read. trav-
eled and Informed, will not take so
much interest in club papers and pro-
grams, for she will easily detect the
TACT that many of the papers are
copied from encyclopedias and that
most OF the members know far less
than she does.
Also the well bred woman of the
world VIII object to the continual at
nosphere Of "scrabpiness" to be found
IN women's clubs, to the backbiting pol
tics and even Islander to be found
there. That is the great fault Of club
1om. 1t keeps the clubs from doing
he good they might do and from hav-
ng the membership they should pos
sess
Let us hope the day will come wherl
the woman's club will be even more al
actor for intellectual development and
viii possess more of the feeling Of sis
terhood and good breeding.

DREAMS GO BY coNrRARlEs.

Quarreling in dreams is accounted
fortunate. You have had a heated ar
gument with an intimate friend or reia-
ton, and so vivid was the dream that
the feeling of resentment remains with
you for some time afterward. 1t is
difficult to dispel until you receive.
turing the next day or two. a kind and
loving letter or some particular mark
of affection from the Identical person
who seemed so insolent to you in
treamland.
Madness also is distinctly a favorable
men in dreams. 1t precedes some sue
ess gained entirely through your own
kill or discernment. To find yourself
-or one of your friends-an inmate OF
4 lunatic asylum is indicative of the
offer Of some responsible, and coveted
position in which you or that other
individual will prove capable of doing
the work satisfactorily.
