Before a large audience in Columbus,
! Ohio recently, ]. keir Hardie, So
eialistic member of the British Parlia-
ment, among other things made this
statement, and it is interesting, in view
of the, fact that many political enthusi-
asts discredit the trade unions wherever
it is possible to do so: 81 am told
have not heard it yet myself, remember,
but | am told that in some parts of
these states, just as in some parts OF
Europe, there are men that are Social
lists who seek to belittle trade unionism
or labor ,mionism. | say TO you that
the man who seeks to belittle the trade
union is no friend of yours: that all
the progress which the working class has
made hitherto has been through their
labor unions The strike, my friends,
has been the weapon; fear of the strike
and the strength which union gives has
been the weapon which has brought
whatever improvement has been secured
by the working class of the world.
Therefore, do not let any one mislead
you into the belief that the day of the
union is over. 1t is not over. 1t is the
very foundation upon which the whole
superstructure of industrial liberty will
one day be reared"
That the forthcoming trial of Ettor,
Giovannitti and Caruso is to be case
eelebre goes without saying. BIT what
benefit these men are to derive from the
tactics of the adherents of the general
strike doctrine is more than the average
mortal can understand, unless it be that
the methods adopted have the tendency
to impede justice, call halt in the trial
and perhaps be the means of trans

other city, which would only mean in the

LABOR NOTES OF
VIDE INTEREST

There are several things that are alb.
solutely necessary TO the success OF any
organization, whether ii be social, fra
ternal. civic or trade union in charac-
ter, but one very necessary essential is
enthusiasm, for without u feeling OF en-
! thisiastic desire to really accomplish
something worth while there is not much
hope for any organization or its mem
bers. But enthusiasm, like all Other
human ingredients, must be tempered
with sound Judgment and should not be
permitted 10 run riot and do irreparable
damage to either an individual or organ.
ization, for there ii ceases to be enthusi-
asm and is more or less form of
hysteria.
How many times in our union meeting
have we seen members. after few
months membership, in all sincerity pro-
pose action that to them is the correct
thing TO do, but it would not appeal to
anyone outside of an insane asylum, for
if their momentary and inexperienced
desire were to be followed, it would only
result in disruption and chaos. How
many times have we seen this same class
of men proposing to obliterate all OF
the bad conditions in trade over night,
so to speak, when they have remained
for years outside of the organization,
and how refreshing it is to listen to-
those of more mature judgment and ex-
perience point out to them their mis-
take in few well-chosen words, thu
being the easier for the "old timer"
simply because he has gone through that
stage Of development in the trade union
movement which is troubling the new
and enthusiastic member.
Yes, we must have enthusiasm, but
it must be the sort of enthusiasm that |
is based upon good judgment, which
comes from practical experience We
must have the sort of enthusiasm that |
after a question of policy has been de-
cided upon will carry us forward and aid /
us in doing our share for the common
uplift BY all means cultivate the new
and encourage him in his de-
sire to be of use to the trade union
and while encouraging him
along this line, be careful not to permit
him unwittingIy to allow his judgment
to be swayed from true sense OF jus
tiee by attempting to uproot the evils
in trade in day, for in this way he
can be made a valuable asset to his
own local union and to the trades union
as well.

! AT midnight the other night, a statute
establishing a 54-hour week in the fac
tories OF New York became operative,
/ The law is an outgrowth of the public
agitation following the awful calamity
! of the Triangle shirt waist factory fire,
and it applies to 'any mill, workshop or
other manufacturing or business estab-
/ lshment. where one or more persons are
employed at labor" No female of what
ever age and no male factory workers
under Is years may do work more than
six days Of nine hours each in any one
week, or Eve days OF ten hours, with u
four-hour day Saturday.
This statute is unqnestionably an adj
vance upon conditions heretofore prevail
ing in that state and its operation, I'M
der strict enforcement, will be watched
with interest In round numbers, there
are 81 900 factories in the state, en-
ployng 100000 workers. The average
working day has been ten hours, and
the average wage for females s. week.

wages OF operatiyesg

the right direction, and we look to see

sense in this. Red light has good effect on several skin diseases; blue and violet spell death to bacteria yellow protects the eye against the injurious elements of the spectrum: while green calrns the nerves and encourages sleep.
 Unfortunately, these effects are not al- ways to be relied upon Some kinds Of lupus yield to the influence of blue. while other kinds find blue only aggravating, and are much more benefited by red. In general one may say that red has excit- ing properties. Put spider and wasp under a colorless beil-glass and they will live in peace: give the glass tinge of scarlet. and the two insects will rush at each other and engage in mortal combat.

They bring the best horses to be had anywhere with them, and spend any amount of money in the district on OK tra servants, provisions, etc. Many an owner who has has had the good for tune to have an American as his ten- ant for tho hunting season, has re- turned to his house afterwards to find It improved In many ways.
 Socially. of course. they are tremen- dously popular. Guests are never bored under the roof of an American n and the most fanatic of hunting en- thusiasts has been known to forget the woes of severe frost with an Amer ican hostess
