STATE LABOR AGENCIES.
Pennsylvania Plans to Obtain Employ
ment For Workers.

John Price Jackson, commissioner of
labor, is planning to establish indus
trial centers n five of the leading cit
les of the state.
According to Mr.. Jackson, much good
could be done for the unemployed If
they were directed to places where
they could obtain employment. He
also believes that many employers are
In constant need Of help and could use
these men if they only knew of them.
The cities in which he expects to as
tablish these industrial centers or la
Dor agencies are Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Harrisburg, Altoona and Scran-
ton. A study will be made of the la
Dor conditions in each of these cities
and in the vicinity. Lists of unem-
ployed will be compiled and arrange
ments made whereby manufacturers
will be kept informed of the available
workers.
Mr.. Jackson Is of the opinion that
there Is enough work in the state to
keep all workers regularly employed.
The reason, he believes, why there are
so many unemployed Is because they
do not know where to go to seek en-
ployment. 1t is the duty of the state
to keep workers in touch with oppor-
tunities that offer themselves. This
will be only one Of the duties of these
centers
Another duty will be to keep a closer
watch over the sanitary and safe con-
ditions of the mills, factories and
shops in these respective districts.

Consider the Dew.

The question is often asked, Does the
dew rise or fall? Dewfal is as admls-
sible an expression as sunrise or sun.
set. In both cases the expression is al
variance with scientific fact. Meteoro.
logically, the formation of dew is not
accompanied by motion in the vertical
plane, hence there can be no question
Of rise or fall. Under certain condi-
tions of wind, cloud and temperature
variants dew is produced Warm air
charged with moisture comes in con.
tact with a cooler surface When In
this contact the heat is subtracted from
the air and the saturation point for
that temperature is reached, the mois.

Perforated coins were never in fa-

ous efforts We're made to p0pularize
them The first United States coin
with a perforated center was Il gold
dollar issued in lS49. which had Il
square hole in the middle of the
planchet 1t was the forerunner of the
gold dollar issued by the United States
mint in tS49 The coin was engraved,
not struck from dies
The next United States coin with a
perforated center WAS issued from the
Philadelphia mint in 1850 and was of
the denomination of ! cent 1t was
about the size of the bronze cent now
in use At that time the large old
fashioned copper cent was in general
circulation. and the perforated coin re-
ceived the name of ring cent The
designer reasoned that by means of
the perforation the cent could be dis
tingushed by touch from the dime
Another perforated cent issued the
same year showed two rings in the
field with the words Gent, One-tenth
Silver" The reverse showed an olive
wreath around the perforation and the
words. United States of America"
The mint authorities undertook to
design n coin that would answer all
requirements. and the pieces were
struck with both pierced and perfect
centers in silver, copper. nickel and
composition metal six varieties in ALL
without counting the various metals,
but none of the designs was favored
by the government authorities, and
consequently they were never put in
general circulation

ALLAH'S HUNDREDTH NAME.
Only the Camel Knows 1t; Hence the
Sneer on Its Face.

Only the Camel Knows 1t; Hence the
Sneer on Its Face.
The 900 widows of the mosque OF
Sultan SeIim remind one OF the ninety
nine names of Allah. These ninety
nine names, the Arabs say, are written
in the palms of the hands Of all true
believers. The explanation Is inter
esting. and even an unbeliever can
test IT.
The Arabic numeral Is written like
an inverted Y of the English alpha
bet. BY holding up your left hand, with
the thumb and fingers bent slightly
inward the lines OF the palms will be
seen to take the form of a rough Al,
which makes the Arabic figures 81
Placing the right hand under the left
In the same way makes the figures

There ought really to be 100, but the
hundredth is lost to every creature
but one.
Why does the camel wear such a su-
percilious expression? The heavy pen
dulous under lip and the snarling curl
of the upper give an expression of
sneering contempt which can hardly
be equaled in the brute creation.
No wonder The camel alone knows
the hundredth name Of Allah, and he
won't tell it-Manchester Guardian.

Wild Schemes of pinocrates.

The most remarkable proposal ever
the architect Dinocrates. His plan
was to cut it into the shape of a gi-
gantic statue of Alexander the Great,
holding in the right hand city, in the
left tank that was to receive all the
waters of the region. Alexander was
much taken with the scheme But it
was eventually rejected on the ground
that the neighboring country was not
fertile enough to feed the inhabitants
of the projected city Another of Dinoc-
rates plans was n temple to the wife
of King Ptolemy of Egypt. with a roof
of loadstones that would keep an iron
statue of her floating In the air.

Miners Get Wage Increase.

The miners of the Missouri lead belt
have settled their differences with the
operators and returned to work. They
get an increase of 23 cents a day. 1t
is estimated by the operators and min

to S5O0,000 year. The new scale Of
wages will remain in force for a year,
and before this scale can be changed
each side must give thirty days notice.

THE REAL FREE TOILER.
Those Workers Who Belong to the
Union of Their Trade

OnioH OF tnelT trace.
Considered as body, the only free
wage earners today are those who hold
union membership. The rest have as
a class or individually absolutely moth
ing to say in the disposition of the
snly commodity they have for sale
labor. 1t Is well enough for the anti
unionist to shout freedom of contract.
But is there any freedom Of contract
for the Individual? Is it not a fact
that it Is the purchaser who sets the
price and that this price Is arbitrary,
final, brutal in its conception, selfish
In its application? Work made prize
for the needy, dangled before their
wants, In order that traffic may be
made in misery and a job knocked
sown to the lowest bidder.
Is 1t not better that the wage Garner
should pool his labor.a then sell 1t
through the collective method rather
than that labor should be made the
sport of the man who can buy? The
cry against the closed shop Is raised
because 1t involves a feature of trade
union policy difficult for the inexpe-
rienced to grasp, analyze and under
stand. Employers believe If the open
shop can be established there will be
speedy end to trade unionism. Once
open the way for eliminatio of the
man with a price on his labor and his
place will be quickly taken by the man
with labor to sell at any price
The international Typographical un-
ion has gone through 1t all 1t knows
the value of the closed shop. 1t real
ICES the necessity for collective bar
gaining. AS soon as the reasons un
derlying the demand for the union of
fee are more generally understood the
critics will, without doubt. make their
attacks in another direction. Let the
criticism come. 1t all advertises trade
unionism. And In the meantime we
will continue to organize the printers
and unionize offices.-Typographical
