LAnoR,s NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

/ - H..HE
Organized labor finds itself in an
embarrassing position today. 1t has
only itself to blame. When the
Mcnamara brothers were arrested
on the charge of dynamiting the
Los Angeles Times building causing
the death of many employees, the
general public did not think OF sad
ding such a heinous crime upon
union labor. 1t was expected, how
ever, unionism would welcome tile
trial and allow the law to take its
course SO that II the organization
did contain any such iends, 1t could
be rid of them before they brought
digcredit upon the whole cause.
Instead, organized labor made the
Mcnamara cause its own, Judging
the men wholly innocent and look
ing upon them as martyrs who we're
prosecuted for unionism's sake.
Some of the more radical labor
leaders even went so far as to make
threats as to what would happen If
the McNamaras were found guilty,
intimating before the trial that JUS
tice could only be done by acquit-
ting them of the charge.
But the pleas of guilty by both
men leaves these ~so-called labor
men without a leg TO stand IN. Per-
haps hereafter organized labor viii

the leaders of the organization. in
stead of putting hindrances in the
way of justice, will render every as
sistance possible in order that the
guilty may be punished.

as a good thing. 1t needs to learn,
however, that belonging 70 a union
lis not a certificate OF perfection
There are likely to be bad ones In
labor organizations as well as all
other forms OF society, and the
sooner labor rids itself of such men
the better it Will be. incidentally,

Gust SO. Everybody said Stephen
Roberts would put an end to your ex-
travagances. Oh, he's bossing you all
right"
When the visitor had departed Mrs.
Roberts sat down and reviewed the
situation. Was her husband bossing
her? Was he humbling her to the
dust? Was he insidiously curtailing
her privileges? No! Yes Come to
think of it, he was actually playing
the domestic tyrant and wearing a
mask while doing it. Other folks had
noticed it right along, but she had
been foolish and blind. She had given
up this and given up that, and now
people were calling her a humble cat!
And did that domestic tyrant Of a
Stephen Roberts think any more of
her for her sacrifices, as she named
them? Not bit. He would simply
go on demanding more. He had asked
her to give up hired carriages, but
had he given up cigars? He had asked
her to eliminate her club, but wasn't
he riding the goat at his Masonic
lodge one night week?
Mrs. Clara Roberts had three hours
to think things over before her hus-
band came up to dinner. That was
plenty of time to arouse her obstinacy,

was ready for him. The love-light

Her
Domestic Twcant
By Carl Jenki,,,

Some folks wondered at the mar.
riage between Stephen Roberts and
Clara Colby, and others admitted
that 1t might be good thing. Some
folks wondered because Stephen was
an old bachelor and set in his ways,
while the young lady was known to be
rather Tightly and fiirty. Some admit
ted because they thought an old bach
elor was just the husband to make a
frivolous wife settle down.
There was one thing Miss Clara
Dragged Of as girl, and that was that
NOBODY could manage her. Whatever
she wanted to do she would do. Her
marriage wasn't going to make bit
OF difference about that She said SO
to Stephen. His answer is not record
ed, but whatever it was he probably
did some thinking, and perhaps he
made up his mind to pursue certain
policy.
1t was weeks after the wedding be-
Tore there was clash. The husband
made suggestion now and then, in
stead of commanding or nagging.
While they were only suggestions, the
young wife found herself following
them without opposition, and this
pleasant state of affairs might have
continued but for an even more frivo-
ious wife who dropped in one after.

WoMEN's FEET ARE LARGER
Shoe Dealer Declares Number Two
Size Has Almost Disappeared and
Fours or Elves Now Rule.

Women's feet are growing larger!
This decidedly unchivalrous report
emanated from the convention of shoe
dealers and manufacturers in Boston,
which declared that this was true all
over the country. And big Milwau.
kee dealers reaftirm 1t.
The No. 2 size, they say, has almost
disappeared here, and fours and fives
are now the rule.
The dealers refuse to allow their
names to be used because-curious
sidelight on feminine psychology
they say their names attached to such
a statement would Immediately drive
all of their women customers away!
Would woman be seen going into a
store where they sold large shoes ?
Never!
I'VE sell sizes five to eight almost
exclusively now" said one of the deal
ers. Women seem to want longer
and better fitting shoes than ever
before. High heels throw the feet
further forward, and make longe,
shoes necessary. And, Furthermore
women are becoming more sensible
and want their footwear to be more
comfortable"
1T is true that most of the women's
shoes sold nowadays are four and
fives, in contrast with the smaller siz
es that were demanded few years
ago." said another dealer But the
shoes now are of different shape
They are longer and narrower. But
| really believe that women's feet are
growing larger. In fact, think that
the feet of the entire race are grow
ing fiatter. The feet seem to spread
after the rest of the body has ceased
growing"
But it may be remarked in pass
ing, an increase of one size means an
increase OF only one-sixth of an inch
in length. Wisconsin.

Mrs. Roberts left the table and went
over to the east window. She changed
to the west one Then she sat down
Then she stood up again. Mr.. Rob
erts refused to be drawn into an ar
gument to spoil his appetite. He re-
fused to say what he would do, and it
was for her to give in or carry out her
threats. Give in? Never! She walked
upstairs and began to array herself
The distance to her mothers manor
house was a mile and half, and dark
ness was at hand. She would go,
however She would go if the dis.
lance We're ten miles. There was
principle at stake. People were refer
ring to her as worm of the dust
They should see!"
All family jars do not bring thunder
storms. This one did, however. The
wife who started for mothers with
naughty step and hard-set face, leay-
ing a husband behind her at his cot
fee, had not trailed through the dust
more than half mile when wind,
rain, thunder and lightning were upon
her. She was thoroughly soaked be-
fore she could gain the shelter of an
old tumble-down barn. She tried to
remain angry, but she was too wet
She was also frightened. Every time
1T Hghtened the red-hot thunderbolt
made straight trail for the sagging
roof over her head. When nothing
else was doing hog that had taken
shelter before her moved about and
mathematical things in his own Ian
guage and made out that he was a
two-legged tramp.
Why had not Stephen stopped her
from leaving the house? That was
the question the young wife asked
herself over and over as she stood
there In her soppipg shoes. Why
hadn't he kissed her and tried to
make up? She had said she was 60
Ing home to mother, but he hadn't
filed one single objection. Oh, what
heartless brute! That is, she would
give year OF her life If he was there
with her now! Thunder, lightning,
rain, darkness, and an old tramp get
ting his courage up to attack her!
And even if she lived to reach her
mothers house what sort Of story
could she tell? When she first started
out she felt she would be received
with open arms. and that the mother
would say:
$50 you have left that villain for
good and all! Good! Come to my
arms, child. l will see that Stephens
neck Is broken within week!''
Now, in that cold rain, with her
shoes a-sop and the rain pelting down
harder and harder, she just cried like
baby and called out:
Mother, l forbid you to break his
neck! Stephen is the best husband
in all this world!"
Then hand clasped one of hers.
and an arm stole around her waist.
She had not heard any one approach
but she was not startled. She was
gently drawn out of the ruin-into the
road-along it to her home and the
hog was left to wonder and puzzle,
ever the idiosyncrasies of human ma
ture. Not a word was spoken on the
way home-not word for an hour
later. Then the husband quietly OBJ
served:
"I1l order the carriage for next
week, Clara"
But don't want you to-" she re-
piled. I'm coming down to the bank
every evening to walk home with
you!"
