 Our Dollars Are Not Good 1 I have spent more than a month at the Tivoli during my stay here. It Is the one hotel I know of where the charges are fixed and where one can not bribe the clerks. The hotel has -een crowded all year and will be so from now until the canal is finished. To my l table today came three rich Americans, @ portly dame in diamonds and two la de-dah young men. They complained about their treatment all through the meal The woman said that her room was no better than that of her servant 2 a home, and the young men, who were punched four in a room, were as mad as their feeble minds would let them. I Said one of them tu the woman: Moth CT. we will go back tomorrow. This I is the only place l have ever been i where our dollars are not good l of- fered the clerk all kinds of money but he laughed at me and told me Uncle l sam could not be bribed.

 The most of them are West Indian ne-

 government. gives them cooks from Ja- maica and others of the islands because
 they are better fitted to supply the dishes which the men like.
 At these Kitchens the men receive three meals for 27 cents. or ore meal for
 cents. They do not eat in the kitchen,
 but they bring their own buckets plates and other dishes and carry the food away smoking hot to eat as they please Each man has bucket of rice, great adle of meat and soup and in addition to that a banana or SO He has a pint Of coffee and plenty of vegetables. He re-

BIRMINGHAM MAKES
A HARD JOB EASY

II Joe Birmingham lives to be twice
as old as he is now he will never for
get his first managerial duty. That
was the release of Walker, the
pitcher who had been known as
Mysterious Mitchell" and who had
been signed up by Manager Harry
Davis.
Mitchell or Walker was most
powerful man. He had done a strong
arm act on the stage and could
handle any man on the Nap team as
he would a baby He also enjoyed. q
peculiar disposition. Realizing these
facts. Joe did not relish his task,
especially when Walker beat him to
it by saying very firmly:
There is no doubt of my sticking,
Joe, is there?"
Joe's nervousness disappeared. He
was almost brave again.
You're fred he said. Go to the
office and get your pay"
He wondered why Walker did not
live up to his reputation and ami
hilate him. He is still wondering
how he escaped. But it seems that
Walker had been released so often
that he was usd to it. week later
he bobbed up in Cincinnati and al
most induced Hank O'Day to sign
him. O'Day only escaped when
Walker declined to sign unless he
were made free agent at the end OF
the year.

TAFT is CRITICISED FOR
INDUSTRY PROBE CHOICE

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The person
mel of the Federal Commission on
Industrial Relations, appointed by
President Taft, is criticized in a
statement adopted by the committee
on industrial relations, which was or
ganized to secure the appointment of
such a commission.
Three reasons are cited why, the
statement declared, "the commission
as a whole fails especially" The first
is that no woman has been named
a member, although there are now
more than six million women wage
earners in the nation" The second is
that there is no well known econ
omlst or social worker to speak for
the increasingly effective work that
is being done in our universities and
colleges, civic and social organlza-
tions" and elsewhere. The third rea-
son is that the commission 'lacks

cial field of inquiry

This continued until last night when

at 1908 Bathgate avenue, gave a

a large number of girls.
