A FEW days ago the writer over
heard a conversation between a 10
cal attorney and a prominent busi
ness man about town regarding the
many strikes which have occurred
in Cincinnati. The local attorney
said that labor unions never know
when they have enough. If you
give them raise in wages they
want more and if they don get it
they strike, always wanting and
wanting We would like for The
local attorney TO know that the la
boring man is just like all other
people in wanting. He is unlike
the attorneys in one respect he
must make fight for everything
h gets, or he will get nothing.
The attorney az a rule sets his own
price for his work and if it is nee
essary to get an increase in pay he
simply tacks so more on his clients
bill and the client pays it. Human
nature is the same The world over,
Mr.. Attorney, and the laboring
man is no exception. As long as
he is in want he will want, just
like you.

COney Island.

This will be some week at Coney
Island. The vaudeville show is
mighty good; the JOY devices are
excluding all sort off entertainment
the boats are carrying up and down
the river many thousands who are
seeking to escape the heat of the
city; more than 300 members of the
Jr O. of U. A. NJ. are in camp and
on saturday there will be a sham
battle, and on Sunday, Irish Day,
there will be ballon races and par
achute Jumps. And on the Irish
Day programme will be McGrath,
Shepard and Sheriden, Olympic
game winners, who are coming on
from New York to give an exhibi-
tion of their physical prowess in
throwing weights and in speed
events.
Just few more weeks, you know
and Coney will close for the season
and it will be wise to take advant-
age of the remaining weeks. The
twenty mile river ride and the Joys
at Coney make positive delightful
day.

Story Of child Labor

Washington, Aug. Is. The
children of 5000 families i'll all
states of the Union are this week
reading about the children who
work in cotton mills, tenements,
canneries. coal mines and glass fac
tories. The story of child labor
had never been written for children
until the National Child Labor
Committee prepared this latest
number of the Child Labor Bulle-
tin in which "our warm friend Mr..
Coal, the little boys big medicine
bottle, and other inanimate friends
of we'll cared for children tell them
the story of their lives. The only
story for grown-ups in this number
of the Bulletin is an account of
conditions found in Georgia cotton
mills last April by agents of the
National Child Labor Committee.
In Georgia children of widows and
aged dependent fathers are allowed
TO go to work at ten years old, but
the law is so poorly enforced that
in many mills children of ten were
found at work whose "widoWed'
mother had married again, or whose
aged. dependent father was un
der fifty and also at work. Geoi gia
is the only state in which children
under twelve may legally work in
factories and the legislature is new
considering a bill to do away with
this condition and raise the age
limit to fourteen years in 1919.

Cold. Heat and Humidity.

In hot weather less food is needed;
there is more blood in the internal
organs, the skin acts more and the
kidneys act less than in mild weather
In cold weather more food is needed;

There is more desire for active ex-
ercise
Humidity reduces the actual heat of
the air In summer, but Increases its
oppressiveness and makes people le-
thargic and relaxed. The perspiration
does not evaporate and the pores get
cIogged. In cold weather dry air leaves
the body free TO retain or give up it's
natural heat according TO its needs.
but moist air brings about leakage of
bodily warmth that is difficult to pre-
vent Clothes will not do IT, and wind
increases It. That is why we feel

An Arab Honeymoon.

For seven days after the wedding
the Arab bride and bridegroom are
supposed not to leave their room. The
bride may see none of her own family
and only the women folk Of her bus
band, who wait on her. She remains
in all her wedding fnery and paint and
does absolutely nothing The bride
groom generally slips out at night aft
er three days and sees few friends
privately, but he persistently hides
from his wfes family, and should he
by accident meet his father-in-law be-
fore the seven days are over he turns
his back and draws his burnoose, or
haik, over his face. This is their view
Of a honeymoon, and they grow as
weary of 1t as any European couple do

MARRIAGE ON SHIPBOARD.
Authority Vested In Captains of Brit
ish Vessels.

ish Vessels.
The captains Of British war vessels
are authorized by law TO act as mar
riage registrars" and the wedding
ceremony may, therefore. take place on
the high seas or on board an English
man-of-war on a foreign station, sub
1ect to certain prescribed modif1ca-
tons. These indicate that the legality
of the marriage depends on the COM
manding officers compliance with the
conditions of the foreign marriages act
of 1892, which. with very slight differ
ences, conforms to the conditions as to
age, consent of parents, false oaths,
residence, etc, applying TO marriages
in the United Kingdom.
Although no one may question cap
tain's authority TO perform at sea the
marriage ceremony or likewise to per-
form such service on board a British
vessel on a foreign station, If any of
the provisions laid down are not full
filed the secretary of state for the
home department has the power by
means of a warrant to vary or annul
the marriage performed under the act.
But in the case OF such a marriage the
captain who acted as registrar" is pro-
tected from any disastrous conse-
quences ensuing from his act
Before the passage of the act Of 1892
commanding officers OF war vessels
and merchantmen celebrated marriages
on board under an old act. and the
marriage was of necessity confirmed
on arrival at the nearest port by the
British representative there Where
there was no diplomatic or consular
representative the captain was empow-
cred to act himself as consul and con-
firm his own deed
In the merchant service of Great
Britain the skipper enjoys even greater
power. He is not obliged to return

being the necessity to log" the mar
riage In his official log book where it
may be entered between reports deal

WORLD OF LABOR

A large number of men and won
en-, estimated at 5 900, members of
the Ladies Cloak aud Suit Max
ers' Union of Philadelphia, are on
strike. About 200 factories are
affected. The strikers are demand
ing higher wages and betterment
of working conditions.
All shops at Perth Amboy, N, ].
except the Federal, have entered
into an agreement with the Brick,
Tile, and Terra Gotta Workers,
thus returning 300 out of 500
strikers to work. In some instan
ces better conditions were secured
than had been demanded. This is
the first real victory in twenty
years for the men employed in this
industry in Amboy.
At the semi annual meeting of
the Board of Trustees Of the Union
Printers Home in Colorado Snrings
it was decided that improvements
TO the amount of about SIS, 600
should be made. This sum will be
used in construction of a two-story
addition to the library wing of the
main building. This addition will
provide dormitories for additional
residents.
The Iron Molders have secured
a splendid settlement in Philadel-
phia. Conferences were held be
tween representatives of about thir
ty foundries and representatives of
the FIVE local unions located here
and all amicable agreement was
reached. The minimum wage here
. tofore has been SO % for molders,
which has been increased to So 40.
The rate for coremakers was s., 10,
which also was raised to $3 40.
thereby eliminating the differential
in wages of molders and coremak-
ers.
A number of new laws affecting
labor were passed at the last session
of the Iowa Legislature and have
now gone into effect. All the cities
in Iowa regardless of size have now
the right to adopt the commission

the right having been only extend
ed to the largest cities. The wild
ow's pension law is in effect, and
women factory inspectors are to be
appointed in cities and manufactur-
ing towns.
