BREEDING AND ORIGIN OF The

he could not have been registered III
the English studbook as a thorough
bred, II the evidence Of those VINO
knaw him best can be credited, nor
had any of his descendants. But all
this ia not of so much importance as
the fact that the Morgan horse Is OF
a definite reproducing type. GOOD
snacimens of the breed were imported
into Tennessee half century ago, and
horses are still occasionally to be met
with In certain sections Of the state to-
dav that manifest some of the we'll
known family characteristic, markings,
qualities of gait and stamina, symme-
trv and docility, traits that made
them the most elegant harness horses
in the world.
Yes indeed; the Morgans are OF a
Axed reproducing type, and while as a
rule they do possess that high rate oil
speed that distinguishes the Iast'
stepping trotting horse OF today, II
can he said with all emphasis that they
have many desirable qualities to rec

CHICAGO GARMENT WORKERS.
Strike Assuming Enormous Proportions
and Rioting General.

The strike of the Chicago garment
workers is assuming huge proportions,
and according to the daily papers riot
ing is becoming general. It is well,
however, to take the newspaper reports
with considerable salt They have
habit of making every little incident
assume the proportions of a riot, and
the police have habit Of clubbing
indiscriminately and then cooking up
a story to fit the incident.
If there is any rioting the big cloth
ing manufacturers are not blameless.
For years they have been importing
hordes of foreign garment workers.,
ignorant of our language and condi-
tions, and now that these ignorant
people are. turned loose it is only nat
ural that they should riot.
Chicago society women, led by Mrs.
Raymond Robins, Miss Gertrude Bar
mum and Miss Margaret Healey, have
espoused the cause Of the strikers and
are acquainting the people with the
actual conditions under which thous-
ands of helpless women and girls are
compelled to work. These well known
women know their legal rights and are
well equipped to fight for them. As
result the police are careful to avoid
them, but take great pleasure in prose
cutting the ignorant and helpless little
foreign girls and the ignorant foreign
women who are demanding justice, de-
cent wages and fair working conditions.
Employers of the struck shops pre-
tend to be importing garment workers
to break the strike, but in reality are
importing thugs for the purpose of in
citing riot and slugging the strikers,
thus hoping to secure public sympathy
by making it appear that honest men
who want to make living are prevent
ed by anarchistic unionists. The daily
newspapers may be depended upon to
help the employers in this effort.

TEMPLE DIRECTORS.
Wanted to Hear Bryan So No Meeting
was Held Monday.

Bryan proved an irresistible attrac-
tion last Monday evening, and as
result there were not enough Labor
Temple directors on hand to form a
quorum. Therefore no meeting was
held. The photographer was there all
ready to take the photo Of the directors
but was compelled to make new date.
Monday, November IA, was the date
selected for the photo, and every di-
rector is expected to be on hand.
The directors will meet next Monday
evening and listen to the report of
the hustling committees. A report is
promised that win listen good.
The Oil heating apparatus is practi-
cally installed, and the heat will be
ready when needed. This will make
the Temple Independent of any outside
contractor this winter and insure plenty
of heat whenever it is wanted-some-
thing that could not be secured last
winter.
