SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1912.

In the last issue we had something
to say about the wonderful things done
in surgery nowadays, and we now
have another case to chronicle. A
three-year-Old girl lost her nose by an
accident about year ago. Three
weeks ago surgeons took the left float
ing rib from her body and buried it
in her forearm, where it was allowed
to remain until the flesh grew about
it. The forearm was then bandaged
tightly to the child's face, where it
will remain until the flesh unites with
her forehead. The final step will be
the cutting of the forearm loose from
the built-up nose and the placing of
skin to prevent scars. Every step in
the operation has been successful and
eventually the young lady will be
smelling through a rib. They will be
making folks from a scrap heap if
they keep on.

One often hears the complimentary
expression used: His heart is in the
right place. and for one to have his
heart in the right place is usually a
good thing, but it happened to be a.
good thing for David Krunish, an
eleven-year-old boy of New York, that
his heart was on the right side. in
stead of in the right place. Last
Monday he fell and was impaled on a
picket fence. One of the iron spikes
penetrated his left breast three inches
directly over the place where his
heart should be. AS his heart was not
in the right place, he is now on the
road to recovery

THE STATE FEDERATION OF LABoF
TO TAKE ACTION.

The recent convention of the Colorado
State Federation of Labor held at Grip
pie Creek, Colo. was notable for the
great amount of interest shown in the
union label. Several resolutions were
introduced bearing on the labels of diff
ferent crafts and were unanimously in
dorsed by the convention.
Miss Margaret DAILY an international
representative of the Garment Workers,
addressed the convention and made one
of the ablest talks on the union label
that has been heard in this state for a
long time. She impressed upon the
minds of the delegates the important
part the union label plays in the trades
union movement of today and urged
upon all union men to put forth their
best efforts to educate the woman of the
house to demand the label, as she is the
one who handles the wages of the work
man after he has earned them and he
should see to it that she does not spend
them in the purchase of non-union-made
and "sweatshop" goods.
President McLennan. in his annual re-
port to the convention. dwelt at length
on the union label, showing in figures
the increased demand for union-made
goods all over the country.
The Label and Trades Mark commit
tee recommended to the convention that
the incoming officials use all means
within their power to encourage the es-
tablisment of label leagues, patterned
after the Denver Union Label League,
wherever possible throughout the state.
In view of all these facts it is appar-
ent that the union men of the country
are awakening to the fact that when
they receive their wages they then be-
come employers and it behooves them
to think twice before they pay them out
for non-union-made goods. which is the
same thing as employing non-union
workmen.
