More Linen Talk.

The ladies of the First Baptist
Church are still taking orders for
the Oxford linen towels, but honest
scepticism keeps many from awaiting
themselves of this great opportuni-
ty. They don't see how linen tow
els can be furnished so cheaply.
Did you know our National Govern
ment estimates that four billion
bounds of flax straw is annually
burned in this country because
there is no market for it? The Ok
ford linen people are now using
some of this waste, and getting 1t
ct a low figure, compared with the
price of cotton. The new process
converts this straw into the fin
tshed product in one-tenth the time
required by the old method, and,
then, oh! that tariff you have been
paying on the Silt, 100000 worth
Of imported linen each year; but
We will not discuss that; we pay
statesmen to attend to that part OF
our business. However, you can see
how Oxford linen can compete with
domestic cotton and imported linen.
You can also see how you get more
than you expect for your money.

Land Of The HObbQ.

Hobbies of public men will creep
out in the summer days. To find
President Taft sweltering over a
golf ball, Vice-President Sherman
on the front seeat at ball game,
Senator Frye fishing, Senator Till
man in the garden, Secretary Knox
behind a spanking pair of horses
these 'tavocations" are now looked
upon as a matter of course, and
not hobbies. But when one hears
of Champ Clark knuckled down to
a good old-fashioned game of Demo-
cratic marbles and playing for
keeps" the well-seasoned reporters
are amazed and join in a chorus OF
evan Dubbs''-and no Judging.
Hobbies date back to time i'm
memorable, but according to a prom
nent Swedish visitor, they have
thrived most in America, the land
of their adoption. America" he de-
clares, sis the land of the hobby.
Every American must have his par
ticular craze, whether it be chasing
butterflies or forming trusts. All
things are secondary to the omni-
potent hobby"
But the hobby, whether it con-
Germ rules of living, the sciences,
fancy gardening or whatnot, has
it's uses. For most of us the
earth is a dull planet"-or so, at
least, the popular Arnold Bennett
has averred, and the hobby, which
must stimulate enthusiasm and am
bition, necessarily makes mundane
existence less tiresome. It's tone is
optimistic, says Balzac. "a hobby
is the exact mean between pessi-
mism and monomania.' Let nc
man, therefore, deride the hobby.

EP|sCOPL|ANS CONVENE.
Annual Meeting of Clergy and
Delegates OF the Diocese OF
EaStOn Held This Week.

The 43rd Annual Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church OF
the Diocese of Easton, which is
composed of all the Protestant Epis-
copal Churches on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, commenced its
sessions in Christ Church Tuesday,
and was presided over by Rt. Rev.
William Forbes Adams, of Easton,
Bishop of the Diocese. The Conven-
ton opened with prayer service
at O'Clock, followed at 10 o'clock
by a communion service, and at IL
O'Clock the convention sermon was
preached by Rev. Walter B. Stehl,
of Centerville, after which a recess
was taken until 2.30 p. m, when
a business session was held.
There are about rs ministerial
and lay delegates in attendance,a land
the Convention was one of the most
important and interesting gatherings
ever held on the Eastern Shore by
the members of this church,as bust
ness of the greatest Importance to
the church, which has been coming
up at every convention for the past
five or six years, was taken up and
settled, chief among which was in
regard to the personal of the Stand
ing Committee of the church, which
is termed the Bishops Cabinet. This
Cabinet has been for years COM
posed entirely of ministers, but
movement was started and passed
to make this committee or cabinet
q mixed one, the personnel of which
will be three ministers and two lay
men, as it is believed it will be for
the best interest of the church all
over the diocese. In the event of
the death of the Bishop, this COM
mittee has entire charge of the af-
fairs of the diocese, and many min
listers and laymen are of the opln-
ion that this cabinet should have at
least two members who are comps
tent business men upon it.
Another important question taken
up was the dividing of North Elk
Parish, Cecil county, into two par
ishes, the new one to be called
Susquehanna parish. This subject
was thoroughly discussed, after
which a vote was taken, and the
division of the parish was lost by
4 votes.

sHIPeUILDINo STATISTICS.

Washington-The census bureau, in
advance sheets giving data in the ship
building industry for 1909, shows that
the government at its own works ex-
pended in salaries and wages during
that year s15.317.00O distributed to lG.-
i2S employees. This produces an average
payment per year to each employe of ap-
proximately 1920. The report does not
employ the same method in dealing with
private shipbuilding companies. but a
comparison can be arrived at by doing
a little figuring. The employees in the
private plants, including all who draw
salary or wages. as in the above com
parison, receive an average yearly
amount of $515. In the private plants
1856 men are employed and S13 ,00J
was the total sum distributed. The diff
ference in favor of the government EN-.
ploye is s405 per year. per employe.

THE WAGE COLLECTION DEPART
MENT

AS stated, there is no law requiring
or authorizing the collection of wages
due persons, and which employers seek
to evade. But there is an average OF
twenty such cases reported every day to
the department. Most of them are for
small sums due working girls or com
mon laborers; ditch companies, saw
mills, seamstresses and girls working in
private families seem to be the greatest
offenders or sufferers by this deadbeat
policy. The sufferers are often without
means and therefore unable to employ
an attorney to collect for them, and in
fact the laws course is an idle mockery
to mention to people without means and
desire Immediately for use the small
sums that are justly due them for work
performed. 1t is true that there is law
under which a poor person can sue, but
these sufferers often are unable to wait
for the laws delay, and in such cases
the employees of the departments take
up the cases Immediately and endeavor
by system of arbitration or influence
to get the employer to pay the small
sums due. Often cases in which NUM-
ber of men or women are interested are
reported, but in these cases the depart
ment advise the course of action best
to pursue and recommend that a compe-
tent attorney be employed. The amount
collected, mostly small sums for wage
earners, during the year, up to Decem-
ber 18th, totals, S11 ,653.20; amount re-
ported and uncollected is $4,SSS.67; total
handled S1fG53 20

CROSKEY REVIEWS THE
STATE LABOR DEPARTMENT

up the peonage system that has long
menaced free labor in this state. The
passage of the Deception Act" by
which the importation of strikebreakers
into the state is prohibited, and also thai
men employed as strikebreakers must be
SO notified when they accept that kind
of work. has added considerable work
to this department in enforcing this law,
few notoriously dishonest agents
have had their licenses revoked and thus
placed out of business, and a condition
of law and order established where an
archy seemed to reign before.
FACTORY INSPECTION DEPARTMENT
| The last legislature by amending the
factory inspection law providing an ap-
preparation to pay the expenses of this
department and abolishing the inspec
ton fee, did much to improve the effi-
cheney of this law and make it popular
with those business firms that are sub
ject to its provisions. The amended law
provides for four inspectors, one clerk
and one stenographer, with the deputy
labor commissioner as ex-officio chief in
spector. The deputy inspectors are Miss
Genevieve Miles, Fred Weinland, Geo.
R. Howe and Leroy Monical; Frank
Mancini is clerk and Miss Grace Har-
per, stenographer.
At the request of numbers of the trav-
cling public a provision of the law was
inserted by the last legislature requiring
as sanitary measures in this state that
has SO many tuberculosis patients visit
ing it, a nine-foot top sheet in all hotels
and the abolishment OF the roller towel
and individual towels substituted. While
some adverse criticism and ridicule has
been made of those provisions by the
unthinking or illy-informed. the merit OF
them is easily understood by the travel
ing public, and particularly by the com
mercial travellers association at whose
request the amendments were inserted
into the law. The inspectors have also
been charged with the enforcement of
the child labor law, and have been dep
utized by Judge Lindsey as truant Off
GERS.
The amended law went into effect
August 4th, and since that time 1881
manufacturing, mercantile, laundries,
bakery and hotel places of business have
been inspected, and 731 recommends
tions for safety devices. improved sani-
tary conditions, etc, have been made
and are either complied with or in
process of compliance; in but one in
stance has a protest been made and re-
quest for arbitration, which is now pend
ing. Thus conclusively showing that the
law meets with the general approval of
the business men of the state, while the
workers and general public which the
law is framed to protect naturally favor

CANCELLATION AND ARBITRATION.

The law creating the department en-

Dor disputes, providing that both parties
to the controversy are willing to arbi-
trate efforts have repeatedly been made
to arbitrate labor disputes, and, while
the employees are generally willing and
anxious to arbitrate, such is not the
case with the average employer. This
fact is particularly true of the present
Northern coal strike. hence little has
been done in this proposition, although
the department is ever ready and anx-
iously willing to lend its services to
both employees and employer in keeping
condition of industrial peace in the

REV. FISHER RESIGNED.
viii Occupy the Universalist Pulpit
Next Sunday. Resignation Takes
Effect May LIST

Rev. L. B. t. Fisher pastor of the
First Uniyersalist church, at the close
of his sermon last Sunday morning,
rendered his resignation, on account
of having been called to the position
of Supt. of the Tri-State organization
of Uniyersalists. This takes in the
states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa. To Rev. Fisher, in this posi-
ton, will fall the duty of looking
after the Universalist churches in
those states; to adjust misunderstand-
ings, supply pulpits SO far as it is in
his power, etc. These duties will
keep him travelling much of the time.
He and his family will perhaps make
their home in La Crosse, for which
city Rev. and Mrs. Fisher departed
yesterday.
Rev. Fisher is recognized as being
one of the ablest ministers that has
come to our city. He came to Wau-
sau over four years ago and has made
hosts of very warm friends who deep
ly regret the departure Of himself
and family. There is one consola-
ton, Rev. Fisher will be an occas-
sional visitor in our city as the Wau-
sau church is in his jurisdiction.
