THE MAKING OF SHOES.
Secret Lies in the Dovetailing the In
terests.

President Donovan of the Boston boot
and shoe club said words of wisdom
when, addressing the Knights of Column
bus in Lynn recently, he told his audi
ence that what Lynn needs is something
to dovetail everlastingly the interests of
the manufacturer and those of the
workingman; that the city has every
thing but a leader in whom everybody
believes; and that Lynn might as we'll
make boots and shoes as let the bust
ness go to st. Louis or the remote parts
of Maine.
The riddle of industry is to make
these industries dovetail, and difficult as
the task has been always and every
where, it is for Lynn and other indus
trial centers to do more than their
share if they are not to be relegated to
inferior places. OF all industries, that of
shoes needs most careful watching just
now. Competition is keener and keener,

John p. White, president of the Unit

with eight union officials from each

is pressing the demands, said:
'.Today's conference was merely a
skirmlsh II does not indicate any

the bituminous coal mines will close,
on April l, because no agreement can
be reached before then. and even if
an agreement is reached it will have
to be submitted to n referendum vote
of the union, or the union will have
to be called in convention. OF course
we cannot continue working without
an agreement. Our demands for the
Run of the mine basis vitally con-
Germ us. Tomorrow, we probably will

harbor there is where the ships go
out
Frail little ships they are
With white sails poised to the kiss OF the
wind
Over the cleaning bar.
Over the great wide world they go,
Breasting the foaming tides,
Until they rest in the Ravens afar
Where the dark storm never strides.
Some never return from their distant
quest
Lost, and none knows where
And the years go by, but never again
Over the seas they fare.
And where is the harbor whence they
sail
Under the blue above?
The harbor is found in the hearts Of
