HOW ORGANIZED CAPITAL WINS
In labor disputes organized capital has distinct advantage
organized labor fights ITSELF and organized labor
does For four months the publishers trust has been fighting
the pssmen eeoypers drivers newsboy and crcuaors and
there hasn't the ranks the publishers But there
has been a break in the ranks of the unions
Not with standing its with the publishers
typographical union No. 10 has been conducting active fight
against its sister unions
Not publisher in Chicago has fought the other unions harder
than the typographical union has fought them Indeed the pub
fishers have been able back and laugh their sleeves while
union pted against another The pity of it that most
of the printers honest and believe they doing right
That's the way organized capital wins It is in the minority
because there employees than employers but easy
make the unions fight another The savage attacks
the ockedou and striking unions have been made by the pub
her but by the typographical union The story printed the
so-caled Union Labor Advocate is case in point.
This publication has long BEEN epudated by the Chicago
Federation of Labor but somehow other the publishers got the
story of the printers attack their fellow unonists printed
then the papers gave the story all the publication they
could by quoting it.
won't always be this way however Some day all union
will understand that they protect themselves best by pro-
tectg their brothers. and that attack union attack
all of them In the meantime employers their battles

NEWS TRAVELS IN HOSPITALS
Wireless outdone In Rapldity with
Which Patients Get Forbidden
Information.

"a very efficient system of wire.
less telegraphy exists in every hos.
pital," said the nurse. Apparently
all patients have the knack of trans
hitting messages, otherwise the news
of serious cases would not travel so
quickly and accurately from ward to
ward. 1t is contrary to the rules for
hospital attendants to retail gossip,
and most of them do observe strict
secrecy, yet Notwithstanding that pre-
caution there is never an interesting
case in the building whose history is
not known and discussed in the re-
hottest corner.
Last week boy suffering from a
peculiar kind of throat trouble was
brought into first floor ward The
doctors were very much interested in
the case, yet they took special pains
never to mention it in the hearing of
another patient. But for all the good
their caution did they might as we'll
have lectured on the case in every
ward, for when the boy died men and
women all about the hospital said to
the nurses:
So that poor boy died, did he? 1
guess there wasn't much hope for him
from the start
Now. how did the news travel?"

Ants Eat Through Lead Cables.

White ants are causing much trou-
BILE in South Australia in telephone
cables and also in the underground
electric light lines. On the lead
sheathed telephone cables crosses be-
tween the circuits began to occur
Upon withdrawing some of this cable
from the ducts it was found that the
ants had eaten through the lead in
many places. On the Sidney system
of electric lighting the ants ate
through the bitumen compound and
then through the lead and high ten

stop the ravages which will incur an
enormous expense if not checked,
arsenious oxide mixed with bitumen,

Daily Stock Letter.
Copyright 1912, by New York Even
ing Post Co.

ing Post Co.
NEW YORK, June 3.-Today's stock
market disappointed the rather numer-
Gus observers who had expected that
the week would begin with something
sensational on the stock exchange, by
way of sequel to last Fridays liquida-
ton. The market was duller even
than Saturday, its hourly volume OF
transactions was smaller, and the
movement of prices more neglihle.
This left the heavy selling of the last
two full business days to stand as an
isolated phenomen, the stock exchange
reverting today to the inertia and
APATHY of last Monday and Tuesday.
AS rule, changes in prices were
Itrif1ing fractions; in some important
stocks. ST. Paul for instance, there
was only single transaction during
the first hours. There is much IN the
position that is perplexing, and there
is difference of opinion as to whether
the stock exchange is or is not really
waiting to get suddenly excited over
the crops or politics. The one obvious
fact is that there was no belated out
side public" on any important scale
left in the market during the recent
break, and that the public shows no
signs of interest now.
