Steel Car company's plant. Mr.. Thomas
stated that things are booming at the
Simplex. The spring department is
showed under with orders and is work
ing at full capacity
The bolster department is not doing
so well for the reason that materials
are not on hand. but as soon as they
arrive there will be big force of men
put to work.
The report from the Simplex is to
the effect that there is plenty of work
for skilled operators who are able TO
do the kind of work that is required
there. In fact, it is expected that there
Will be some difficult in getting the
necessary men when the whole plant
finally gets into full swing.
Common laborers are not so much
needed at the Simplex, but the skilled
operators, who can show that he has
had experience in the kind Of work that
IS done at this plant, is sure of a lob a
good wages.
COULD USE MANY MEN.
Over in the United States Metals Re
ining company the necessity for labor
is apparent. This company could use
30 to so laborers at from Is to 171A
cents an hour. The general foreman
said that it was no easy job to go out
and pick up half dozen laborers.
w. 3. Conkey said this morning that
his company was never so busy before
In its history. He says that he has
no difficulty in getting all of the skilled
male labor that he wants, but there is
a great need for female help.
He says he could use a large number
of women and girls if he could get
them. 1t seems that there is deartb

and any number of females can secure
good employment at his plant under
the most ideal conditions If they care to
apply.
The Conkey plant. however. has been
running with splendid regularity dur
ing all Of the hard times. and at the
present time with lot of big orders on

over at the Hirsh-Stein plant. which
mas come to be recognized as one Of
the largest and most dependable in
dustries in this district. the need of la
borers is apparent and the heads Of de-
partments report that they can use a
larpe number of laborers providing they
are capable, efficient men and are win
ing TO work. In fact. the force would
be doubled if the men could be had.
At the F. S. Betz Co. the force has
been kept practically intact all during
the hard times, and consequently there
IS not the general hiring of men that
is taking place in most Of the indus
tries in the city. An official of the
company reported today, however. that
a few men are being taken on every
day and the force is being brought mn
to a point where the increasing bust
ness of the company may be handled.
The situation Is the same in even the
smaller industries about the city. Men
are required and they cannot be had.

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR
July II.
Henry Thoreau.

Disciples of that greatest of Ameri-
can naturalists, Henry Thoreau, will
today pay pilgrimage TO historic Con-
cord. Mass, where he was born nine
two years ago on July II, 1917. Con-
cord has always been noted as the
home of American writer's, including
Emerson. Hawthorne and the Alcotts,
but Thoreau was the only one who was
born there.
The greater part of Thoreau's life
was spent in Concord. During his boy
hood he was a store keeper, and
earned something by making pencils.
In this connection an anecdote is told
which is not without interest. After
concentrating his mind upon the MAX
ing of a. lead pencil of superior quality,
he produced one which excelled those
made in England His friends con-
g->atulated him upon making his for
tune by the discovery, but he replied to
their establishment, that he would
never make another. why should I?
would not do again what I have done
once"
Nm 1897 he was graduated from
Harvard, and in the next few years
become a teacher and a lecturer. He is
known now as poet and naturalist
and in the opinion of many literary
critics will live long afte-. many of
his group of writer's have been forgot
ten
He is buried in the cemetery of
Sleepy Hollow. Near at hand are the
graves of Hawthorne, Emerson and the
Alcotts
The hut which Thoreau erected at
Concord has been destroyed. After
Thoreau left Walden it was psDld and
Yves finally carried few miles north,
where it fell into disuse before Tho
rau's death. The place where it stood
is now marked by a cairn. Here

there is less real ground of complaint
against them than ever in the state s
history
Men who a few years before We're
denouncing prohibition at time when
there were saloons in every town of
the state openly and flagrantly violat-
ing the law, are now lOudest in their
denunciatiOn of the liquor traffic when
its influence in politics is at a mini
mum. and when from every county
but four the open saloon has been
banished
Just why this reversal Of opinion
has come is not for me to inform the
legislature, but such is the fact if the
information shall prove of value.
I recommend that no general pro-
hibition law be passed abOlishing the
manufacture and saEe of liqtc.', be-
lieving as l have always done and for
the reasons stated, that such a law
will prove a failure and be a detri-

thus addressed the multitude:
mot that which goeth into the
mouth defileth man; but that which
cometh out of the mouth, this de-

There is nothing in divine law which
makes prohibition itself a moral issue
and there is no such general sentiment
among Christian manGnd as to JUS
tify such characterization.
England has been a nation for CEN
turtles and. has sown the seeds of civ
ilization over the habitable globe. She
has given chTchmen, poets, philoso-
piers and warriors whose names and
fame ate as wide as the world, but
prohibition has never been accepted
in England as moral issue, or even
a desirable thing from an economic
standpoint.
Neither France, Germany. nor any
of the older nations have thought 1t

government, treated prohibition as a
