 Registering
LIGHT COMPLEXIONED

San Francisco. November 1-cor- responding in every essential detail. the stery of the discovery of the blonde Eakimo tribes recently annoanced by Xilhjalmer Steffansson Dr. Rudolph Martin Anderson Of Forrest City, la, his partner in Arctic explora tions, ar rived here today on the whaler Bel vedere after four and half years in the far north. He was accompaniel by Prof F.. DeKoven Leffingwell Of Pasadena, Cal. who has spent three and half years making observa tions i'll the vicinity of the FlaXman islands and surveying anu mapping about 150 miles of the coast line.
 Tt was over on the Cape Bexley territory on the mainland and on Prince Albert Sound, across and to the south of the Dolphin and Union straits, that Steffansson m the summer of 1910 first got in touch With the blonde abor- liginees." said pr, Anderson.
 Tn December of the same year We started out and were 31 days crossing i a00 miles of the worst strip of lana ] NC ever encountered. We made the last 75 miles over the ice before we found 1 these strange people.
 First we came on deserted snow l illage and finally an inhabited village with population of 40.
 People Light Complexioned
 Many of the men had light nous taohes and boards and light hair cov- cred their heads. The eyebrows of the rlen were light and their eyes were i light. Some of the women-not all-had fair Skin and rosy checks; but their i hair was dark, oily and tangled. Their l features bore the characteristics of the Caucasian race. They do not know wl!ere they came from and no one else knows.
 They have no records, no history, TO legends and their language, pc euliar tribal dialect was extremely hard to understand. As to their origin there can only be d guess. They may l be survivors of the expedition of Sir John Franklin. lost to the east of their present locality in 1S40 or thereabouts, or they may be descendants of the in habitants of an early Icelandic colony.
 No Purpose in Life Among these people there is no 1 hope, no thought worth resigtering, no ideals, no particular purpose in lifo. For six months of the year they simp ly exist, living in snow houses and eating seal meat. In the summer they move to the mainland and subsist on caribou meat, They have no religion and no marriage ceremony, although there is fidelity as tribal character istic. Through other Eskimos they do some trading but precious little. "Steffansson had seen about 250 more of these people in his summer | trip. He found conditions about the same as I have observed. The people we discovered are extremely primitive, having no modern implements of any ] kind and no modern weapons They hunt with a crude bow and ar row and spear fish through holes in the ice They cook their food. In kind ling a fire they strike two crystallized stones together"

Sunday Services

At the Jonesboro Methodist church, on Sunday four important services will be held, which will probably close the meet ing which has been in progress for two weeks. At the Sunday school hour the first service will be held and another at Il o'clock. A special meeting will be held in the afternoon for the men And at the same hour a meeting will be conducted for women. A reception will be given after the meeting to welcome the large number of new members which have come into the church during the meeting.
 Yesterday evening at the home of Mir and Mrs. D. l.. Williams the Ladies Aid society of the Jonesboro Baptist church gave Halloween party The members Of the society had charge of the even ings entertainment. The house was elab- orately and artistically decorated in pumpkins, Jack-o'lanterns. black cats and witches, with a background of autumn leaves and yellow garden flowers.
 Misses Bara Nolen. Bert Blackman, Su- sic and Margaret Ezell, Marjorie Wil- Hams and Fife Carlisle were dressed as witches and gave a witch scene.
 The three ghosts were Misses Louise Anderson. Ruby Smithson and Carrie Bell Smithson. Miss Kate Ward was the for tune teller and Miss Louise Anderson gave ghost story. After other interest ing as well as appropriate amusements a delicious course of refreshments was served.

Win Brief Strike

The employees of the La Belle box
factory of Martins Ferry, won brief
strike Thursday morning. Wednesday
noon the men employed there, to the
number of $50, struck against the
three weeks pay system. They also
insisted that the clock should not be
covered. 1t seems that the boss had
a habit of covering the clock, and the
men believed that he did not want
them to know when it was time to
quit. As they are compelled to work
ten hours day they figured that that
was long enough. They won that
contention and the two weeks pay
contention on Thursday morning,
when the management agreed, and
they returned to work.

their authority and power that they

''Some of the Federal judges seem
to consider themselves the whole
scheme Of government-legis by
constituting laws and executives by
enforcing injunotions," declared Der
ger. Nevertheless, they are very hui
man. They are subject to all the
frailties of the human race. Some OF
them were always head-strong, and
have now become senile besides
while others have become incapable

Record Breaker
For Federation

The present year from the way it
is starting out promises to be a rec
ord breaker for the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Many new local IN
ions are being formed and a great
number Of dual organizations and
secessionists that withdrew because
of honest differences are getting back
into the fold. From late reports the
past few weeks have been notable in
this respect.
First the International Boot and
Shoe Workers has had a conference
with many rival organizations. Ground
has been broken for unity work un-
der the A. F. Of L.
Then comes a conference between
the Cigarmakers and the Stogiemak-
ers and it is almost sure to wind up
with the Stogiemakers afiliating with
the Cigarmakers.
The Greens in the glassworking in
dustry have promised to withdraw all
objections to the parent body and aft
late with the Flints.
The Woodworkers have been ANAL
gamated with the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and there is now only
one union in the wood working indus
| try.
The Executive Council of the Fed
Grafton, backed by the last conven-
ton, has issued an order to all cen
trail bodies to accept no more per
capita from the locals of the Steam
Filters, for henceforth the American
labor movement will recognize only
one union in this industry, the United
Brotherhood Of Plumbers, Gas Filters
and Steam Filters.
Those union men who can't see the
progress being made and who Hever-
ishly assure others that industrial
unionism" is coming and the A. F. OF
L. is doomed, need sympathy. To
these members it is only question
of evcitable press agents who well
know the value of high-sounding
phrases long since abandoned by the
three-ring circus.

Get An Axe

Every Wheelingite should get an axe
and carry it around from now until
July 10, the end of the weeks en-
campment of the Modern Woodmen OF
America from West Virginia, Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
But in the meantime go to the
Woodmen's picnic at Wheeling Park,
Tuesday, June IS. The picnic is in
the nature. of an advance entertain-
ment, for the double purpose of get.
ting all Woodmen and their friends
acquainted, so that they can work in
harmony as hosts to the great crowd
that will come to the Tri-State En-
campment and also to raise money to
help defray the expenses Of the en-
campment. There are no millionaires'
barrels behind the local Woodmen, and
the support must be popular.
The axes are being sold at ten
cents each, and all Of this money will
go toward the expenses Of the en-
campment. At this encampment thou
sands Of Woodmen, particularly the
Foresters, the uniformed rank, will be
brought here as guests OF Wheeling for
the week Of July 7-1S.
Headquarters will be shortly estab-
lished in the second floor Of the Wal
dorf building.
= All Union,
: The Woodmen deserve credit for
their proved sympathy with unionism.
IN every step that hay been taken in
the matter OF arranging for the en-
campment, only union labor has been
employed. Their emblems, axes, uni
forms, job printing, all bear the union
label.

. NOTABLE VICTORY

Los Angeles, June 12.-In signing

cigarmakers have won q notable vic
tory. The factory originally opened
as a union concern. but In April, 1907,
it refused to sign the new scale of
prices and since that time has been
a non-union concern. The cigarmak-
ers, however, have kept up an active
contest against the products Of the
firm, and as result an adjustment
has been secured and the factory will
again employ none but union cigar
makers.

''The Federal judiciary is, therefore,
rightly considered as an enemy of our
democratic institutions and of the
common people"
Pointing out that unlike state judges
the Federal judges are appointed for
life, Berger said:
"The Federal judge is usually ap-
pointed upon the recommendation of
prominent business men, railroad
presidents and wealthy manufactur.
ers. He has often obtained his Legal
status as corporation lawyer. As a
rule, the very environment of a Fed
eral judge makes him part and parcel
