The Labor Movement In Chill

| The first annual report of the Chilli
| Socialist Party, however brief, brings
good tidings, for it proves that the
modern labor movement has at last
found firm footing in that country.
The party was organized in June, 1912,
when % branches of the old Demo-
cratic Party broke away from that
party to establish a Socialist Party.
For, the time being, however, the
movement is confined to the port Iqui
que and few other towns, but there
is every probability Off the same
spreading rapidly now over the whole
country Early in 1912 there were
only trade unions of lightermen and
bakers in existence, apart from a co.
operative society of the typographical
trades. The party founded it's own
paper about a year ago. This paper
printed in Spanish, started as a BIZ
weekly, but is issued three times
weekly now and hopes are entertained
Of its becoming s'daily", the circu
lation having increased from 1900 to
$500 copies, within a comparatively
| short space of time, The journal is
published by the Cooperative Society,
which more than 5000 pesos were in
vested by members numbering $50.
During the few months under review
five different pamphlets were publish
ed, their circulation being $4,000
copies Great things are expected from
tour that the SpStrish member of
parliament, Pablo Iglesias, is to start
soon in Chilli and in other South
American countries. Joint committees
of the party, the trade unions and the
pointed in every town for the purpose
of arranging for the. most successful
labor meetings e. N held in South
America.
A number of trade unions have been
established or are being established
SO that there is every hope THAT such
bloody scenes as were witnessed in
the year 1907 during the great trike,
will be prevented in future and the
sweated and oppressed workers of this
rich land will obtain better conditions
by means of a strong organization
The following example will show
how numerically the ruling classes
tyrannize over the workers. The pro-
vince of Tarapaca provided the start
last year with GA million pesos as roy
alties on the export of saltpeter. In
Ills HOSt lupOTIdHI Industry Inc uum-
Der Of accidents is appallingly great.
as is also the number of cases of ILL.,
ness because there is absolutely no
protection afforded, and no precautions
are taken to prevent same. Notwith-
standing the fact that the state draws
such great profits from the industry,
to say nothing about the monstrous
profits of the employers or PARKWAY
shareholders, the workers of that pro-
vince have not been provided with
public hospital. There is, indeed, still
plenty of room for organization.

ORGANIZATION vs.
DISCRIMINATION


| (From the international Secretariat.)
referring to the discussion now GO
ing on IN many countries as to the
value of certain methods in the trade
union movement, a we'll known Euro
pean labor man sends us the following
note in regard to the present position
in the United States of America Dis
rupters in the American labor move
ment who fight the American Fedora
ton of Labor SAYING It II A reaction
airy body Of pure and simple craft
unions, tIX TO make believe that their
new set of organizations is essential
Tor the purpose Of replacing the small
er craft unions by large and powerful
industrial unions. Max S. Hayes.
prominent American Socialist and
trade un1onist, in reviewing the last
convention of the A. F. ofaL., in the
New Review has this to say in re-
gard to the A. F. of LIS attitude to-
wards closer affiliation:-" But at
no time has the A. F. of L. prohibited
International unions in a given in
dustry from combining their forces.
indeed, the Federation has upon nu-
merous occasions encouraged kindred
organizations to unite, and has even
gone to the extreme of expelling inter-
national uniCns for refusing to merge
into larger unions. Thus the engineers
in the mines were unseated because
they declined to merge into the United
Mine Workers, the car workers were
expelled last year for refusing to Join
the larger body in that trade Similar
other examples are given.
1t may be a matter for dispute
whether the development towards
closer organization ought to be quick
er within the A. F. of L.-this applies
TO many other countries as well-and
whether the officers should give bet
ter encouragement to such develop
ment. One thing is certain, however,
the A. F. Of l.. as such, is not opposed
to more scientific and modern form
or organization. 1t is helping to
achieve this result. BY the way, the
European unions do not recognize any
other card than those issued by the
A. F. of L. unions, because at home
and abroad, they refuse to recognize
the principle Of disorganization, Of
rival unions, of disharmony in the
ranks of labor. Ne serious trade union
list, indeed, should be found outside
the ranks of the A. F. of L., if he does
not want to be considered an ally of
the employing class, which has for
ever been trying to disrupt the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY

Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark,
Glossy and Thick With Common
Garden Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can

evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some For 80 cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at a time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis
cover dandruff is gone and hair has
stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign OF old age, and as we

pearance, get busy at once with Wy
eths Sage and Sulphur and look years
younger.-Adv.

BRITISH MINT MAKES RECORD
Former Outputs Both in Value and
Number of Coins.

London.-The output of the royal
mint in 1912 largely exceeded, both in
value and in the number of coins pro-
duced, al previous records. Sir 7. H.
Elliott, deputy master of the mint,
states in his annual report that near
ly 162,500,000 imperial coins were
struck there during the year, and that
this number exceeded the highest pre-
vious figure of any year by nearly 34,-
900 900.
The gold coinage exceeded that OF
1911 by about 100000 pieces. The
number of pieces struck in silver has
only once been exceeded, in 1910,
though the value of the coinage in this
metal in 1912 was greater than In
any previous year. The coinage in
bronze numbers upwards of 100000
pieces of a value of s1,257010, figures
which are unprecedented for any year
The heavy imperial coinages made it
again impossible to undertake all the
colonial orders which were rendered,
and only some S,500,000 of colonial
coins were struck, a smaller number
than in any year since 1890. The total
coinage of the year amounted to over
III, 100000 pieces of a currency value
of upwards of 1882, 100000, the high
est figure on record.

years ago Baron Won dem Bussche-

in Denver, where his son, Carl Z, was
born, May 10. 1881. The son enlisted
as a private in Company l.. Sixth Unit

examination for a commission as sec

successful.
He was assigned to the Twenty-fifth
United States and became a first lieu

in 1906. The family is an old one
and has furnished many officers to
the Prussian army.
When Lieut.. Won dem Bussche was

$4,000 PEARL WAS LOST
Absent-Minded Attorney Put 1t in His
Pocket and Forgot
About It.

New York.-A $4,000 pink pearl.
one of the most beautiful of its type
in existence, was lost in Part w of the
supreme court, where it was the bone
of contention between a rich jewelry
firm and a society woman. Bailiffs
crouched under chairs looking for 1t
on the floor; lawyers paved about
among papers on their long desk in
search of it. II was the gem for whose
possession Ludwig Nissen & Co. have
been suing Mrs. Jules ]. Vatable, who
was. before her marriage, Miss Eliza
beth c. Stokes of Tuxedo.
Ludwig Nissen declared it had been
stolen from him in 1907 by J. Edward
Boeck. who had sold 1t In San Fran
cisco, and demanded that the pearl be
returned to him. Mrs. Vatable, hav-
ing bought 1t in good faith, naturally
would not return 1t. Hence the suit
After a thorough search of the court
room had been made Mr.. Kellogg, Mrs.
Vatable's attorney, discovered that he
had SYSTEMATICALLY put the pearl in
his pocket.
