NEW YORK, July 29.-Fifty young
women were prevailed upon by Or
ganizer Weinstein Of the United He
brew Trades yesterday, not to go to
work for Crofut & Knapp Company,
Of South Norwalk, Conn.,
Crofut & Knapp had applied to the
United Hebrew Charities for help, but
Martin F. Lawlor, national secretary
Of the United Hatters, learned Of
their request before the Hebrew
Chorities had time to get fifty young
women to go to South Norwalk and
he communicated with Organizer
Weinstein, who visited the officers Of
the Hebrew Charities and the young
women and got the girls to promise
that they would not act a sstrike-
breakers. The officers o fthe United
Hebrew Charities did not know that
the women were wanted as scabs and
when told, did not object to their re-
fusal to go.
Secretary Lawlor says that the In
junction restraining the union from
picketing the factory Of E. ": Connett
& Company, Orange. N. j., is not hurt
ing the strike, as there is no reason
for picketing the shop. He also says
that there is nothing In the court or
der preventing them from trying to
persuade strikebreakers not to work.

FATIGUE WORST. ENEMY
TO LABOR EFFICIENoY.
Authoritative Statement BY Yale
Professor Based on Careful
Observation. S 6

In an important report made BY
Professor; Irving Fisher Of Yale uni
yerstty to the national Observations
commission, and just issued. by the
government printing office at Wash
ington, it is expressly unequivocallys
stated that the most careful investiKa-
tions show that the eight-hour day yre
suits In a higher individual and gen
eral efficiency both as to quality and
quantity Of product.
Tho Professors Report,
The present working day is strfk
Ing example Of the failure to conserve
national vitality. In order to keep la
Dor power unimpaired, the working
day should be Physiological e., it
should be such as would enable tho
average individual to completely re-
cuperrate over night. Otherwise, In
stead Of q simple daily cycle, there Is
progressive deterioration. A reduction
in the length OF the work day would
be a chief means of improving the vi
tality Of workmen, ais well !. as the
worth Of life to them Is 3s5=S5s.
!, The fatigue Of workmen is largely
traceable to their long work day ana
serves to start vicious circle. Fa-
tigue puts the workman IN an abnor-
NAL frame Of mind He seeks to dead
en- his fatigue by alcohol, tobacco, .ex--
citing samusements; and excesses of
various kinds. The momentary relife2
which he thereby obtains is purchased
at the expense of an increasing sus-
ceptfbilty to fatigue, resulting sooner
Or later in complete depletion OF his
vital energies and in the contraction Of
tuberculosis or other fatal disease.
The decrease IN the length of the
working day has not diminished the
total output. 3sI SIS ..

A Moving Picture Plot.
BY Frank H. Williams.

Samson Ridges, the great NOV
ing picture man, viewed his actors
go through the rehearsal of the
thrilling drama entitled Winning
a Bride" which he expected to
make tremendous hit In moving
pictures.
That's pretty neat, eh?" he
querried of his pretty niece, Mar
garet Clark, who was standing be-
side him. 81 don't believe Albert
Liebler himself could think up a
better plot"
He was watching the girl close
ly as he mentioned Liebler's
name, and he saw her start and
the color surge up in her cheeks as
he said 1t.
''Mr. Liebler, being your rival,
is naturally a man of great re-
sources" responded the girl. 'He
would have to be, to be classed
as your rival--but l don't know
whether or not he could do any
thing as good"
That's it," cried Ridges, hus-
kily. always defending Liebler.

the couple to the fire escape. Down
the fire escape he climbed, as
fast as his heavy weight would
allow him. He did not for a mo-
ment stop to think that he was
playing the very part he had cast
for the father of the girl in the
plot, nor did he stop to wonder
where was the actor who was to
play the father.
When Ridges arrived at the
bottom, however, he was too late.
The couple had disappeared, and
SO had the camera and the men
who were taking the picture. He
looked around dazedly. Then,
rushing from the building, pell
nell, came his actors and picture
men.
"They grabbed us and locked us
|up!" the actors and men cried.
Ridges gasped.
''Liebler has the film of the
picture you wanted" shouted
Ridges picture man. Hell copy
right it and you can't use it."
Eyes, and he has your niece,
too" piped up the voice of the
actress who was to have played the
girl.

rather sheepishly.

The girl said nothing, but walk
ed quickly away. Ridges grunted.
We'll take the film this after
noon," he said to his foreman.
r In the afternoon Ridges was at
his vantage point on the roof of
the tall building where the films
were taken. The actors went
through their parts well. The first
scene showed the interior of a
home. Here the lover was discov-
cred counting a girl, by the girls
father. The young man was turn
ed out of the house.
While the actors were preparing
for the second scene, Ridges
walked to the edge of the roof and
looked at the fire escape, a short
distance from him, down which
the lovers were to make their
escape in the second act. He not.
ed that the cameras on the street
were placed properly for the pic
ture, and then he turned back
again to the roof. The actors were
ALREADY preparing to make the de-
scent and he waved his hand Wig
|orously at the men below to let
them know it was time to Aget
busy.
Again he turned back and
glanced at the actors. He rubbed
his eyes. The girl was HIS niece
and the man was Albert Liebler!
An elopement was being consum-
mated before his very eyes! In a
rage he tore across the roof after
