COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

The necessity for collective
bargaining is now pretty gener-
ally recognized by right thinking
people everywhere.
a single laborer has no fight
ing chance in dealing with a.
great corporation; he can only
accept what is offered him. The
consequence is inevitable degra-
dation.
1.-The effects of the laborer's
disadvantage in bargaining are
cumulative in two ways. It low
ers his wages, and, as we have
seen, this lowers his efficiency as
worker and thereby lowers the
normal value Of his labor; and,
In addition, it lowers his eff
cheney as a bargainer, and thus
increases the chance that he will
sell his labor for less than it's
normal Value
Under the present system of
large industry, with competition
as the regulative principle, unor-
gained labor is always driven on
the downward road. This results
not only from the inequality be-
tween the single laborer and the
great corporation, but also from
the competition between employ
ers. For the employer of humane
and liberal sentiment, who wishes
to pay his working people the
highest wages possible, finds him
self unable to compete with the
INSCRIPTIONS employer, who, by
forcing wages down, is able to
produce goods cheaper chan the
former can, and thus to undersell
hi min the market and get his
business away from him.

of what can be justly termed the

The misery and squalor of the
sweatshop, where work is aban-
doned only at the point Of ex-

life hanging by the slenderest
thread, where health is broken
down and disease runs rampant,
with children brought weakly
into the world to view with dread
this their future prospect-these
horrors have been depicted often
enough by those writer's who
strive in humanity's cause to be
familiar to us all. The lifeblood
OF these poor unfortunates is
woven into the fabric of many a
garment that finds it's way to the
bargain counter, there to be
seized by some frugal shopper,
bought few cents cheaper at the
misery of a fellow human.
1t is likely that there will al
ways be some women who
through stress Of circumstances
will find themselves compelled to
earn a living by their own ef-
forts. The fewer the number, the
better for the human race. But

called upon to do should be done
under such conditions as should
show consideration for sex and
the part women are expected to
play in the world. They should
be paid for their labor equally
with the man, for the hands by
which the work is done makes no
difference in the value, and any
distinction in the matter of pay is
evidence af advantage taken of
the weak.
And you, Mr.. Reader, owe
something in the effort to uplift
our women. You have, no doubt,
female relatives Of your own,
who possess a goodly share Of
your affection. You would not
wish them condemned to a life of
drudgery and ceaseless, poorly
paid toll. Extend a helping hand,
then, to these women who need
your help so much. Champion
their cause ats every opportunity,
tor there is no nobler work you
con do. And when you have
cause to purchase an article that
female hands have fashioned, see
that the union label of the craft
is upon it, and thus assist those
organizations who are waging
such a noble fight in the Interest
OF those whose hands should rock
the cradle and thereby rule the
world.

DISTRIBUTING THE GIFTS
Some Novel Ways That Will Please
the Recipients and Add to the
Occasion.

Should one wish something more
original than Christmas gifts awk-
wardly thrust into ones hands by the
giver; should the time-honOred stock
ing pail, here are several new ways
that may cause excitement in present
distribution.
Some member of the family or ore
of the maids can enter the breakfast
room, where the table is prettily dec
Grated with greens, but no gifts are
displayed. She should be heavily veil
ed, dressed in a long rain coat and
carry two or three cotton umbrellas,
furled.
Her appearance will excite surprise,
particularly if the sun shines. She will
insist that it is going to rain and try
to get her umbrellas raised.
Some of the children will offer to
assist and from the umbrella will fall
the packages, gaily tied and clearly
addressed. Anything that may suffer
from a tumble should be tied to the
ribs.
In one household the large family
has decided that each person shall
hunt up some novel way of gift pre-
sentation. No one will know what the
other has selected, but the element OF
surprise will be emphasized.
A mother who wishes to avoid con.
fusion at the breakfast table has de-
cided that no presentation should be
made then. The family will be asked
to put their various presents in a GER
tain room on Christmas eve. All are
neatly tied and addressed. No one but

must rejoice at the products of their
looms. Even a goddess might wonder
at the beauty and splendor of ribbons.
In them the colorist INDUCES his dain-
tiest and most gorgeous fancies. This
allows their use in dress accessories,
giving to the toilette touch of that
'splendor dear to women"
Just now the vogue of the fancy
hand bag (nearly all of them made of
brilliant ribbons) helps solve the prob
lem of selecting Christmas gift. Bags
are always a good choice, but never
so popular as now. Six new ones are
shown here, made Of various kinds of
ribbon No. 1 is a vivid rose-colored
confection made of brocaded and plain
satin ribbon. Two panels of brocade
are set together with puff of the
plain ribbons. The ribbon is rounded
at the top and the edges and seams
finished with tiny, blue glass beads,
run in about the top and narrow satin
ribbons serve to close and suspend
the bag 1t is finished with two little
bead tassels at the sides.
No. 2 is bag of black moire lined
with deep purple faille ribbon. 1t is
decorated with tiny roses made Of
ribbon in purple and old gold and TO-
liage in dull green, sewed fiat to the
bag. Small black silk tassels finish

little rosettes of loops.
No. 3 pictures brilliant flame-col-
ored bag made of four strips of satin
ribbon and four of gold gauze ribbon.
Narrow satin ribbon sUspends the bag
terminating in ends finished with a
rOSette at each side. A tassel made
of the narrow ribbon finishes the bot
tom. The bag is drawn up by an elias
tic cord run in a casing about the top.
No. 4. This lovely handbag is made
of brocaded faille ribbon showing dark
red and purple roses and dull green
foliage, on black ground. 1t is lined
with dark red and bound with old gold
braid. A loop on the flap fastens over
a button covered with the gold braid.
Gold thread tassels and a gold cord
finish the bag.
No. 5. This new "aeroplane" hand
kerchief bag is made of pink Dresden
ribbon, with printed flowers. 1t con-
sists of six lengths shirred over sup
porting wires. 1t is tied with narrow
pink satin ribbon and suspended by
this with rosettes of loops finishing
the ends.
No. 6. A bag of brocaded satin is
lined with dark natter blue faille rib
bon and finished with many loops and
ends at the sides, Of narrow blue
satin ribbon. 1t is drawn up at the
top by a casing through which the
