LinWedVe
White Goods

1HHIS new, beautiful white wash
Ii fabric is the popular material for
summer wear.
1t has all the wear and gloss and
snap of linen at one third the cost.
No other material is SO charming for
every variety of outer and under gar
ments. Washing does not effect it's
beautiful fnish-it is practically un
shrinkable.
Plain sheer Linweave is the ideal
fabric for lingerie gowns, Graduation
and Confirmation Dresses and fine un
derwear.
In the heavy linen weights it makes
up into stylish skirts and suits that
won't crease and wrinkle as linen does,
and yet has linen gloss and crispness.
The fancy weaveS are the latest thing
for tailored waist suits. Both plain and
fancy weaves are most desirable for
children's suits and dresses. Come in
and see this beautiful novelty while our
line is complete.

UNION MEMBERS SHOULD ~
PRACTICE CONSISTENCY

It is a peculiar thing that so
few union men ever stop to realize
how great the power Of the press
is AMI how much better and easier
they could accomplish things if
they would only one and all be-
come ardent supporters Of their
labor papers:
They buy and read papers each
day that carry columns of scab ad-
ert1sing, that do everything they
can editorially to belittle and dis
rupt the trade union movement
and at the same time are too igno-
rant and stingy to pay the small
pittance asked as subscription
to the labor paper-the only me-
dium which refuses to accept scab
advertising, the only medium
winch consistently, in season and
out OF season, advocates the union
labels, the: shorter hours and bet
ter wages for all concerned; the
only medium which will publish
the names and carry on the war
fare against unfair firms and
goods. ..
l.. Still they call themselves union
men and knock the labor paper
and refuse to support it by sub
scription. and by purchasing only
Of it's advertisers. ~. Z.

G0MPERS, WARNED GOVT
OFFICIALS TO BEWARE

Each particular group OF So
ciety in these United States may
be expected to put forth it's own
Interpretation of the Milwaukee
election. For the present, we
submit this point to the admins
tration at Washington, says Sam
uel Gompers in the Federationist !:
We RECENTLY informed the At
torney-General, in the course of
an interview relative to the Steel
Trust, that the political party in
power has heretofore had to deal
with a constructive labor move
ment, acting within conservative
lines, but if the working people of
this country should find that their
rights were to be habitually ig-
nored another movement would
surely make it's appearance. It
would not hesitate at such de-
structiveness as it's advocates be-
ieved necessary to the advance of
their principles.
The successive moves of the Diff
ferent branches Of the Govern
ment having as an object the
suppression of trades unionism
would surely bear their fruits
with the masses. In Milwaukee,
whatever other influences brought
about the results Of the election,
one important factor was the vote
of protest.
The indignation of the man who
works and is being houted by
courts, neglected by Congress,
scorned by the Attorney General s
department, and robbed by the
trusts and other 'lnterests,' is
passing beyond bounds hitherto
generally observed. This man is
not going to hesitate at voting
under the name Of Socialist,
though he may reject Sccialism's
final principles; he wants slap
at the discredited party machines.
He would rather be for a time:
with the crowd that declares it is
for the people than with the rings
that have shown themselves to be
the paid servants Of plunderers as
we'll as traitors to the general well
fare. =

LIVING WAGE IS REAL
BASIS OF PROSPERITY

The unfair e1hployer-the man
10 whom no obligation is sacred
and who is ever on the alert to
take advantage of his business
rival and his employes-is a curse
and detriment to any commun-
ity.
If all employers were fair and
would act on the square, there
would be few strikes or lockouts.
Well-paid workmen are the real
backbone Of a community, and it
is the amount of money in circu-
lation. paid out as wages that
gauges the prosperity Of. a town
or city. The tactics Of the dis
honest and unfair employer not
only work to the detriment Of the
wage Garner, but disarrange bust
ness and help to bring on and per-
petuate hard times. Y (. E +. .''

TRUE UNION MAN No
MERE GARD CARRIER

The laboring man as a rule is
prone to forget the great benefits
! the labor movement has given him:
He takes or rather accepts the
benefits Of higher wages and
shorter hours as matter Of
course thinking they are his just
due: They are, of course; but
with a proviso, namely: Did he
do his part toward bringing about
these improved conpditions3 Did
he help to bring them about? As
matter of fact, did he put his
own shoulder to the wheel and
help to bring those conditions into
/, existence?
We often hear union men ex-
plain that inasmuch as they were
members in good standing no one
had an occasion to question their
right to, accept everything which
the labor movement had to give.
The payment Of dues does not
make union man; it is only the
evidence Of membership in a.
union.
The real union man is the one
who earned his right: to. better
conditions by his work on COM
mittees, his continued effort, in
season and out Of season to bring
new members into the fold; his
regular attendance at every meet
ing unless actual ill-health pre-
vented; his faithful work in up
holding the majority when a mat
ter was placed before his local {;
his loyalty in supporting the labels
Of others as he expected his shop
card to be supported by others :;
his work in doing his part toward
securing :"long wages and shorter
hours for his members; i11 fact,
a hundred different things which:
go to make up the true union man.

UP 10 UNION MEN
TO GET UNION LABEL

! ~ Ne = ~ @N4ON -
The union label has done more
| tor organized labor than anything
else. It has brought to those
crafts who, have been fortunate
enough to use it better wages,
shorter hours; better sanitary con-
ditions to work under; it has been
the means to q great extent Of

shops, known better as; sweat
shops or closed shops to- any man
Or woman who dares to say under
what conditions they should work.
No, the union label can do more,
and will do more, than this, but
it can not do it alone. We must
help. There are a great many
open shops and sweatshops in our
country that should be wiped out
of existence and will be if we do
our part. How many of our men,
bers have given this thought {?
How many are there who when
they make q purchase demand the
label? "A great many never think
about asking for the label. /
They are thoughtless and should
keep in mind that every time they:
make a purchase, whether it be
shoes, clothing, tobacco; cigars,
shirts, collars, newspapers, in fact
everything that bears the label,
they should see that it bears the
label, for every time you make a
purchase and it does not bear the
label you can bet it has been made
in a. sweatshop or an open shop,
and these kind of: Shops mean long
hours; low wages, unsanitary con-
|ditions, poverty, starvation, child
slavery. and everything that you
are bitterly opposed to. s

IT'S TIME GOVERNMENTS
BUTT-IN WAS STOPPED

If you were in the dry goods
business and the government
should offer to give free, as a
premium to anyone buying $40
worth of postage stamps, a bolt OF
buck toweling, you would kick
about it, wouldn't you2
Or if you were a grocer, and the
government should advertise that
to each purchaser of 500 post
cards it would present dozen
cans of California peaches as "a
premium, you would feel that the
government was infringing on
your rights and interfering with
your business, would you not?
Under orders from the govern
ment, no doubt, there was placed
in each of the postoffices Of the
country, and advertising cir
cular sent out by the third assist
ant postmaster general in Wash
ington.
This advertising circular is just
as unfair and improper as though
it was advertising to give away
buck toweling or canned peaches.
It offers to give away Job print
ing. 1t says that to every person
who will purchase not less than
500 stamped envelopes the gov
eminent will present, free of
charge, the job Of printing in the
upper corner Of each envelope his
name and address.
The job printers all over the
country object to this, system.
They consider that even a job
printer has some rights which the
government ought to respect.
The job printer has money in
vested in presses, type, paper and
other equipment. He pays taxes
in the community like any other
manufacturing merchant. He feels
that he should not be subjected to
competition by the government,
and his business taken away from
him.
This printing of return cards on
envelopes costs the government
something. 1t is big job. 1t
means continuous work for a.
printing office probably ten times
as big as any printing office in
st. Louis county. Who pays for
the work? Perhaps it is absorbed
in the general contract price Of the
envelopes, but somebody must pay
for it.
This extra expense probably
goes to swell the postoffice deficit,
which has to be paid for by the
people.
So it is the people who are really
paying this printing bill for those
who order envelopes in 500 lots.
Usually a man who can buy en-
velopes in 500 lots can also afford
to pay his own printing bills.
Why should the people be called
upon to pay such bills for him?
A movement is making favor
able progress in congress to cut
off this ancient graft. 1t is a re-
form which will not only appeal to
the job printers as being fair, but
will appeal to the public as being
one way to save something on that
postal deficit. X
The. general protest which this
unjust competition Of the govern
ment has called forth has resulted
in the insertion of an amendment
to the postoffice appropriation bill
prohibiting the free nrint;nr of
special REQUEST envelopes. This
measure has passed the house and

getting the heat from the lamp to the
eggs may be by a tank Of hot water
or by a circulation of . air.
The first method has in the past
been the more common. The tank
OF hot water retains the heat and the
eggs are less subject L sudden varia-
tons in temperature.
The ventilation OF an incubator Is OF
vital importance. The rate of evapo-
ration must also be considered.
Eggs lose much of their water during
incubation. If the evaporation varies
much from the normal amount good
matches cannot be secured.
The rate of evaporation is de-
termined by three things: the TEN
perature, the humidity. and the cir.
culation OIL the air. Theoretically IL
would be best to supply air at a given
rate and containing a certain per cent.
of moisture. but in the commercial in
cubator such an arrangement Is i'm
practical.
The most practical system Of con-
trolling evaporation is a system OF
forced ventilation. in which the air Ia
heated around the lamp nue and
passed through the egg chamber at a
rate determined by ventilators in the
bottom of the machine.
With this system no effort Ia made
to supply moisture to the air, the rate
of evaporation being governed wholly
by the rate of air circulation.
Turning the egg is not the work that
many imagine it to be. II Is not neces-
sary that the egg be turned with abso-
lutte precision and regularity.
An elaborate device for this work is
useless. The trays will need fire.
quently TO be removed and turned
around or shifted. and the eggs can be
turned at this time by lifting out a
few on one side of the tray and rolling
the others over.
The person to run the incubator Is
the first condition of its success. A
good incubator requires attention
twice a day. One person should give
this attention, and must give It regu-
larly and carefully.
The farmers wife or some younger
member OF the family can often give
more time n interest to this work
than a the farmer.
The best location for an incubator
is . cool, dry cellar. The next choice
