New York has joined Massachusetts In
prohibiting the industrial employment OF
wolne within four weeks after child
birth. and the prohibition Of the en-
ploymcnt of women in general for more
than 1ifty-four hours a week.
Because the Hold Carriers Union OF
Fcsno, California. went on stike to en-
force demands for an increase in wages
without first consulting the Fresno
County Building Trades Council the
union is now threatened with expulsion.
One result of the work Of the Califor-
MIA State Labor Bureau during the past
year has been the elimination in a large
Measure Of child labor in that State and
the laying Of 4 firm foundation for the
enforcement Of the child labor laws.
Nearly two hundred thousand employ
cs will benefit by the recent Inaugural
ton of the $40. 900, 600 sick benefit, in
surance and pension fund which has
been put into effect by the Western Un-
ion Telegraph Company the Western

Parents find a balm in these let
ters. They freshen memory ant
bring back delightful fragments o
the romance and poetry Of youth.
There is a yearning which calls
you back TO other days and you can
almost feel the thrill of ecstacy that
once swelled your heart and held
your breath as you erept from its
trundle bed. ere the Sun had shot its
golden arrows from silvered culver,
and, shaking with cold and excite
ment. rushed TO the sitting room to
e what Santa Claus had left.
Wasn't it great?
And yet. through the dominant
note Of Joy these letters bring, there
a minor tone Of sadness TO
the hungry hearts, OF other little
whose yearning for toys, bu
mostly for necessities to warm thei
tiny bodies, is the only cloud upon
the happy sky for Christmastide.
Better be a G~oodfellow, Mr.. Cit
izen.
