AT Toronto Convention
Highly Commended
for Efficiency.
Measure Up with Men
on Any Other Deliber-
alive Body in the Land
Says Rev. Sickle.

Each year seems to raise the standard
of the men who come to thp conventions
of the a. f. of l.. Those who have been
coming regularly, year after year, natural
ly become more efficient because they are
more highly trained in the things which
make for better leadership. They are
more tolerant of others mistakes and
shortcomings. They are stceled against
mere pettiness. They are more optimistic
as to the possibilities for the workin gmen
and workingwomen of America and of the
world Their grasp of the bigger prob
lens in the industrial world is large, be-
cause their outlook is broader
Coming into contact with this type of
leadership, the younger and more mex
pcrienccd delegate catches something of
their spiritH 1t is Il real education to him.
he goes back to his own central body and
70 his local with vision of better things
he has for the time being gotten away
from the narrowncss of comparatively
little things and he returns with the feel
ing that this labor problem is 4 much big
ger thing than he ever dreamed. Needless
to say it pays to send delegate to the
Labor-pays the man who goes and the
body that sends him.
All of the above applies with pc
:uliar force to the recent convention held
in Toronto. Here are come together the
picked men in the world of labor. They
ave risen from the ranks by the sheer
'orce of native ability. They have come
up through storm and shock. They have
been shown no favor merely because of So
ial position, wealth, or family prestige
the things which govern in the selection
of other groups. Every man has earned
he place which he now occupies.
To such men may safely be entrusted
the dcstincs of the toicrs Of America, not
that every man is a paragon of excellence,
nor that they never make mistakes. But
he good sense of the entire body usually
prevails and errors are soon rectified
Marvellous is the patience of the dele
rates rs they listen to long drawn-out dis
cussions which nobody seems willing to cut
off, because of the keen desire to give
very fellow square deal. And always
does the right side win. provided, of
curse, that it can prove it's case. Some
ines for the moment, tcchnicali1ics ap.
pear to crowd out justice, but everybody
rocognizcs the fact that these men will
see that wrongs shall bc.rightcd, ultimate,
y even though the law demands arbitrary
action in Il particular case.
Organized labor need not be ashamed
of the men who compose this convention.
they would measure IN with the men of
my other delibcratvc body

The Corn Cob Meal Industry

Have you ever bought any cob meal ?
inquiries H. H. Windsor in the June
Popular Mechanics. and adds: IF so.
you did it unintentionally Cob meal
is made by grinding corn cobs, and the
industry is one shrouded in great mys
terry. Not that there is any secret of
particular value in the process of grind
ing. but the ultimate purpose of the
corn cob meal is not such as to make
publicity desirable. Thousands of dol
lars have been spent in perfecting the
grinding machinery, and the process is
now reduced to a practical science.
1T is apparently reassuring to learn
that it is necessary, of course, to have
the cobs clean of husks, stones and
pieces of chain, brick, etc. but in
vestigation developes the fact that this
precaution is taken not on account of
the meal, but to safeguard the grind
ing machinery. Even 30 ignoble q
thing as a corn cob grinder rebels at
being fed on pieces of stone, chain and
brick and the machines are rather ex-
ptilSlNe.
"Where the cob meal goes finds a
ready explanation in the fact that it can
he made at cost of So to 81 per ton,
while ground feed brings $25 to 1913 per
ton.
To such an extent has this class of de-
ception developed that several states
have already imposed severe penalties
on the use of cob meal as adulteration.
Inasmuch as the nutrition in cob meal
is on IL par with pine sawdust, it would
seem proper subject for national pure
food legislation. The leading milling
journals insist that the millers of wheat
flour seldom are offenders, and that cob
grinding is chiefly done by manufac-
turers of mixed and compound feeds,
especially those composed largely of
mOlaSSeS.
ITS Il mighty mean and contemplate
man whose automobile is purchased
with the stealings from the rations of "a
faithful helpless animal"
This is hut a sample of Mr. Windsor's
thought producing editorials which ap-
pear monthly in this interesting publ
cation.

HOW IT WORKS

In October of last year H. E. Miles. a
vice-president of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, describing him
self as "a republican manufacturer and
protectionist' issued pamphlet on
tariff making, and one embodying some
statements on the tariff by the Hon
Serene f. Payne. From the latter this
paragraph is taken:
1.-THE entire cost of converting beets
into sugar, including the cost of the
beets and all other material used in the
operation, together with the cost of all
labor involved, is only 4i4 per cent of
the wholesale price of the sugar. Cen
sus 1900, Vol. g, Part 2. Page 495). The
tariff is 70 per cent. of the wholesale
price, or nearly double the cost. The
average wholesale per pound of sugar in
Great Britain in 1908 was 265 cents
In New York it was 5.2G cents, or nearly
double. A great refiner tells me the
cost of sugar from sugar cane is about
the same us from bcets.
The meaning Of that Can more clearly
he comprehended in connection with an
article published in the New York
Journal of Commerce within "a week
which shows that the sugar trust has been
selling sugar for export two cents Il
pound under the price for domestic con-
sumption. Perhaps Il more illuminat
ing view of this condition may be had
by this quite reasonable illustration
assuming that the trust had Il distribut-
ing agency in this city: III
