MINE
DECISION MADE
Judge Wright Says Union Need Not
Recognize Men Who Go
to Work.

Des Moines, Aug. 7.-Judge Wright
of the district court In Fort Dodge mas
made an order ina the Ogden mine
strike which is of great Importance
and interest to miners.
He has held that the union need not
issue transfer cards or recognize un'
ion men who go to work In mine
which has been deserted by union
workers by reason OF controversy
with mine owners.
The miners in Ogden mine No. l
struck because the mine officials
would not permit them to go to work
on mine run basis. Soon after the
strike was declared number OF
negro union miners went to Ogden and
proceeded to go to work In the mines.
They asked for transfer cards and
for recognition In the Ogden union,
II was denied them. They went into
court and secured an injunction from
Judge Wright restraining the union
from refusing to issue transfer cards
and depriving the negro miners OF
their rights as union men.
This order of the court was attacked
by the union and has just been modi
fed, the court changing 1t so that 1t II
not necessary for the union to recog
nize the negro miners until the case
has been finally settled upon Its mer'
its.
During the trial of the case, attor'
neys for the negroes, 80 1t is stated,
charged that the union miners took
the action they did because Of pre-
judice against the negro race In his
opinion Judge Wright dispels this be-
lief.
Senator John T. Clarkson Of Abba,
who appeared as attorney for the min
ers' union in the case, believes that
the action of Judge Wright Is emf
nently fair to both sides.

Q BUJ1NeJe@GIPL .

pretty wrap or hat, or a set of news
books OF a picture. and, having bought
it with money distinctly her Owl, have
sent it home. or course, a mother Vho
would feel hurt and display annoyance
at such a zine shows herself unjust:
yet there are warm-hearted and sfec-
ionate mothers who do not quite
understand the meaning of justice. The
trouble is that to the mother at home
her ions grow up while her unmarried
daughters remain children She does
not see very much difference between
the schoolgirl of IL or Is and the
woman between % and IS.
No arbitrary rule can be laid down
to cover every vicissitude and NEST
every emergency in the intercourse OF
the daughter with her home. The first
and all-inportant consideration 10
peace and happiness. While the
daughter continues to be an integral
part of the family life she desires be-
yond everything else 20 add to the sum
of daily comfort and tranquility.
Whether she can do this best by pay
ing her board or undertaking a certain
obligation in the carrying on OF the
household expenses, or, in certain cir
cumstances, whether it may be her
duty to contribute ali she earns and
take from the common stock her abso-
lutte necessities, must be determined by
each for herself. Often there is no
absolute right or wrong about it, the
question being one of convenience
Where the daughter contributes every
thing, her expenses are undertaken in
sickness and in health by the family.
If work fails and she has nothing To
do. the rest unite and carry her. Il
she have an illness, her doctors bills
are paid by the family. Every woman
knows that the rule for a -wage-esrring
woman Is to stand not for herself, but
for many others. / have known a
trained nurse in constant occupation
and in receipt of a fairly-large income,
every dollar of whose earnings beyond
actual necessities went to pay mort
CAGES on the farm where she had been
brought up. I have Known teachers
every dollar of whose salaries beyond
actual and pressing needs went to the
education of younger brothers ana
sisters. Indeed, 1t is very seldom that
a woman wage-earner is altogether
! free TO make a provision for old age.
except by the most rigid economy.
To return to the question with
which 1 began. it would seem that
there is no positive a of answering
ii either in the negative or Affirmative.
Each business girl for herself must
determine what she shall do with her
income. She is pretty sure not TO de-
ternline selfshly.

To whom belong the earnings of the
1 young woman in business? h
answer to this question is naturally
they belong to herself. Whatever bust
ness position she occupies she gives 1t
her time, attention. equipment and
everything which Is included in her en-
trance upon business, and at the end Of
a week or a month she has fully earned
her salary. Women do not go into
business as a diversion. They ask no
woman works as many hours behind
her counter as the salesman in another
department works behind his. A
teacher throws herself with ardor and
energy into the engagements of the
classroom, and at the end of her day,
month or year has contributed quite as
much to the education of h rising
generation as the school superintendent
or the masculine teacher of n
speciality. Women are in business TO
stay, to toll and to receive renunera-
ton. The question mas come to me
from several quarters lately whether
the earnings of a daughter are in
reality her own, to do with as she
pleases. or whether they should be paid
in to increase the common fund of the
family. Is there upon the single woman
an obligation to give all that she earns
TO her father and mother, accepting
from them the amount 1t is convenient
for them to give? On the other hand
should she keep her wages for h9
special use and pay her board at home?
asks the writer in the Philadelphia
Press.
Everything here rests upon the mean
ing of obligation. A young girl whose
parents have brought her up by great
se~lf-denial, working early and late and
having much of the time great difficulty
in keeping the wolf from the door, is
usually very happy when she can be-
gin to be a real helper. In fact, 1t is In
many cases the duty of both sons ana
daughters as soon as they a earn
to bring TO the relief of their
parents the weekly stipend which they
earn. Among the hard pressed and
Woodworking people in the crowded
tenement districts of large cities the
rule is that the children bring to the
mother their earnings at the end OF
the week, Just as the husband brings
his to his wife. Here 1t is the woman
at hcme who has the administration of
the family and If h be a
manag and there is no wasteful
habit on the part of the men and boys
of her household, it is amazing 10 see
how far she can make money go and
how we'll the family get on under her
1t is she who buys the food for
the household, pays the rent, clothes
every one and gives each wage-earner
carfare and the little extra sums needed
personal indulgence. When the out
side observer notices the constant ex-
of family credit, sees how n
removal follows another always with
upward tendency, the reason is 70
be found in the united front presented
the family to the world. The wages
a number of people when poured into
one purse and carefully managed, go
much farther than they possibly can
each person spends according to ca
price in an Individual fashion.
There are other aspects OF the case
to be considered. Take. for instance. a
family in which there is a background
of comfort and a household where the
daughters earnings are mot absolute

THE MENU RECIPES.
Oxsters with Bacon.

Cut out rounds of crustless brea'l
and toast one side a golden brown and
the other just enough to. make crisp,
but not dark. On the slightly toasted
side arrange for four oysters or as
many as the toast will comfortably
accommodate and IN top OF the oysters
lay two slices of bacon which have
been broiled on ore side only. Have
the unbroiled side on top. Arrange
toast. oysters and bacon on a wire
gridiron and set beneath the flame OF
a gas range oven. As soon as the
oysters curl and the bacon finishes
crisping they are ready to serve. Gar
nish with cress and lemon.
