An Omission In Wedding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.
A distinguished officer of the United
States .Navy once told this story on
himself:
At the time of his marriage be had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship. through all Of which he
kept courage and remained as calm
as brave man should As the time
for the ceremony came on. however.
his calmness gradually gave way. At
the altar. amid the blaze of brass but
tons and gold lace marking the full
naval wedding. the officer was all but
stampeded. and what went on there
seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement of the moment
would temporarily take him off his
feet the rfiicer had learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect. as he
thought. aud he remembered repeating
the words after the minister in a me-
chanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again. including the Off
GERS state of mind. the kindly clergy
man came up TO him and touched him
on the shoulder.
Look here. old man." he said; you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods"
What's. that?" asked the bridegroom
with something Of establishment in his
voice.
why, repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods / thee endow'

you would not say it after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed
for a moment. and then beaming
light came into his face.

been smooth sailing with us, we feel
that We have no right to complain,
and are as well and even better pleas
ed with the country now than when
we first landed in Hereford We want
to say right here that we didn't come

Here's to the health of the Fish" bold
We are glad We are young; we don't
want to grow old.
We are merry and happy and blithe

We try to forget there's a reckoning

We cut because study made us weary.
Shall rise to condemn us, make us
appear
All haggard, and wrinkled, and quaking
with fear.
Yet perhaps after all, we fish" so bold,
Who rejoice in our youth and scorn
growing old,
Deep down in our hearts admire good

And give hearty respect to the boys

The Juniors, our friends, will surel,
prove
They love the Fish" with brotherly
love.
They bind up our wounds when we
come from the wars
With our constant combatants, the
fierce Sophomores.
They soothe all our sorrows, our fol-
lies correct,
And win as Big Brothers our love and
respect.
We honor the Juniors; they may be
sedate,
For they've cast off the follies of boy
hoods estate.
They are grave and reserved as Jun
Tor should be,
Who must play the mans part with
calm dignity.
Moreover, they bear of our follies the
weight,
And that would make even zany Sc
date.
Then here's to the Junior. our friends
true and tried
They have stood by us often, they'll
stand by us now.
If ever in judgment they sternly de-
eide,
We reprimand need to their sentence
we bow;
For we've said it before and we say
it again,
That they are our ideal A. and NJ. men,
The sophomores.
Here's to the Sophomores,
Gallant and brave,
Though bloody their banner,
Long may it wave.
They're out for our scalps,
To destruction we're doomed,
Their blandness though pleasing,
Is only assumed
Yes here's to the Sophomores,
Surely we feel
N them we have foemen
Worthy our steel.
Though fierce and relentless
They're fearless and strong;
They are true to their colors,
And fight right or wrong
TO shield any classmate
And this you may know
At A. and NJ. they have weight,
They're not only for show.

movement has been made identical
with his. Every trade union in any
industry which employs women at
all, admits them on basis of perfect
equality with it's members. The rules
and bylaws of these innumerable
local trades unions all over the land
declare for womens political enfran-
chisemcnt.
One obscure little trades union is
doing more for woman suffrage than
all of the women's clubs in America
com bined, because it is a necessity
to the workingman that his wife and
sister shall henceforth stand by his
side. 1t is very important to the
orkingman-indeed, it is an abso
lutte necessity that the working Wom-
an shall make as much money as
he docs, and that she shall not work
an hour longer.
Were this merely chivalrous sem
timent on his part it would count for
little, but the feeling that inspires it
is the strongest human instinct-that
of self preservation. A man must
live, and a man cannot live nowadays
by the sweat of his brow unless the
toil-stained woman is with him in his
fight for the principles and practice
for which the labor movement stands.

WHAT WOMAN OWES TO LABOR:
What LABOR OWES TO WOMAN

Woman owes an incalculable debt
to the labor movement.
1t has done for her more than this
something that no other movement
no other institution, political, relig-
1ous or economic, has done-it has
made her the co-equal of man. What
church and state have persistently
refused, and do vigorously protest
against, the labor movement has,
from its very inception, recognized
fully and freely, to wit, woman's
right to political, social and indus
trial equality.
The demense to woman and the
benefits which accrue to her with
every step of progress made by the
labor movement are not due, how.
ever, to any feelings of either senti-
ment or pity for her. There is moth
ing chivalrous about the labor move
ment. The labor movement only rec
ognizes the fact that women have
got to work nowadays right alongside
of men. and that therefore, they
must be dealt with as men, Econ
omic conditions originally forced her
to become his rival. and he is now
using every effort in his power to
make her his ally.

WORKING WOMAN is FAST
RECOGNIZING VALUE OF
TOILERS' ORGANIZATION

Slowly but surely, the working
woman is beginning to realize her
true position. and as a consequence
is taking her proper place in the
Industrial field-in the union.
The carpet weavers of Boston are
On strike-not many Of them, just
one hundred and ninety are out. These
form one branch Of the trade
1t is the first time they are strik-
ing. but by no means the last.
Their work is hard. Their hours
are long. The average wage among
them is from 81 to 50 per week.
scarcely enough to live on.
They arc not striking because. they
want to, or because they feel like
taking a rest, they cannot afford to
do that as yet. They are not even
striking for higher wages or shorter
hours, nay-they are not even max
ing new demands, they are merely
resisting a reduction of 2 Il per cent.
These women, young and old, mar
r1ed and unmarried, have been work
ing there for years and years. The
prices went down, the wages became
lower and lower, and these women
did not complain. But there come
time, when keeping quiet, and not
complaining, becomes impossible. And
that is exactly what happended with
the carpet weavers of Boston.
They realize for the first time the
necessity of being organized.
And though without any knowledge
of unionism, or experience in the
labor movement, they are determined
not to go back until they win.
Organizers are nowadays sur
prised to find them full of enthusiasm
about their organization. They keep
on asking questions regarding union
ism, organization, etc: they are learn
ing lesson-the lesson of the class
struggle.
They already understand the value
of being united, they know that
through a strong and powerful organ
lzation only can they stop this cut

BALTIMORE RAILROAD WILL y
81 BAR WOMEN IN THE FUTURE

I PITTSBURG, Pa, April 15.-The
Baltimore & Ohio railroad has de-
cided to hire no more women for
railroad work in any capacity It has
been decided that duties in railroad
office can be handled better by men
or boys. t.: @
The women: who are already on
the %,payrolls OF the company will not
be discharged, at least for the. pres
emit: 1t is stated in the Pittsburg
offices that these women will be re-
tanned as long as they desire to. hold
their positions or so long as they can
do the work for which they were
hired but once they leave the COM
pany's employ their places will be
taken by men. e..
This new condition has been made
public through the rejection of sew
eral women who applied for posi-
tons. They were told that an ex-
elusive order had gone into effect all
over the system prohibiting the flu
ture employment of women in any
capacity whatever by the Baltimore
& Ohio.
