clare, is leper. The authorities have
separated Early from his wife and two

they live. A fence is built between the
cottage and the tent There are sew

not leper. Among them is DR.. Bulk

Mrs. Early to study her husbands
case. His action has met with the dis
approval of the authorities because
they were not consulted first. Mrs.
Early is devoted to her husband, and

continuous rain of four days caused
the Canadian and Arkansas rivers and
their tributaries to rise rapidly. The
streets and many houses in Muslkogee

of rain fell in three hours in terri
tory fifteen miles in length, extending
from South Haven, Kan, into Okla

Union Man Urges Churches to Sup
port Cause e Unions.
Moses called the first strike in the
brick yards of Egypt and Aaron was
the first business agent. 1t was sue
cess. We deplore the necessity of
strikes and boycotts, but you must re-
member that the blacklist preceded
the strike, and that nine times out of
ten strikes are justifiable."
This was part of the argument ad-
duced in an address in Chicago by
James w. Kline, general president of
international Brotherhood of Black
smiths and Helpers, In the Western
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church,
to prove that churches should support
labor unions. He praised the Metho-
dist church for its recognition of the
trade .!nions, and criticised it for up
holding the man who desired to re-
main outside of the union.
The church must get off the fence"
he said. IF unions are good for some
wage-earners, they are good for all.
1t is the unions which have made
wages good, and the non-union men
have shared in this benefit without
paying for it in any way"
