INDUSTRIAL WORKERS Y
OF WORLD GATHERING.
Organization Has Membership of $4,000
Now, Largest Since It Was Formed
Nine Years Ago.
LuN1rrp PRESS 1HAsEp wIRn.l

Chicago, Sept. 15.-The eighth an
nual convention of the Industrial Work
ers of the World opened here today,
with fifty delegates in attendance and
excellent prospects for warm factional
fight for control of this militant, revo-
tionary body.
Delegates from SINE of the western
states Intend broadly that the present
secretary, Vincent st. John, who called
the convention to order, had bees too
long in office, and that the Organiza-
tion would benefit by a redistribution
of membership o. the governing com
mittee. The insurgents planned to make
their attack when the convention bal
loted on the choice of a temporary
chairman at the opening session today.
The fight for control, the insurgents
declared, was caused by no fundamental

differences Of opinion regarding the
policies of the 1. W. W., but was based
solely on. the belief that the offices
should be rotated. Such method, they
said, would be more satisfactory to the
rank and file of the membership and
would remove all suspicion that the Or
ganization was boss-controlled.

George Speed, general organizer for
the I. w. W., arrived today to read his
report on the work Of organization dur
ing the last year. Speeds report will
show that the l. w. w. now has a mem
bership of $4,000, the largest since it
was formed nine years ago, At the
first convention membership of 10000
was reported, but in the intervening
years the number has fluctuated, drop
ping as low as $4,000.
The convention will be in session for
at least ten days. There is no set pro

table affair." where any speaker who
gains the floor may discuss any subject
he sees fit. The strike and free speech
agitation in cities of the Pacific coast

GRASS LINED BOOTS.
They Are Worn by the NomadIo LappS'
Who Never Get Cold Feet


While civilized man suffers intensely
from cold feet every winter, the Lap
lander, living in the far north OF Eu'
rome has no such trouble. A traveller
writes: "Their boots are made OF rem,
deer skin and are worn very large, anu
the toes are pointed and curve upward
30 as to be easily slipped into their SKIS,
The Lapp usually fills his boots halr
9ull with a peculiar green grass into
which he thrusts his naked feet lie
then packs the boots full with more
prass. tucks the ends Of his trousers
inside and binds them tightly rounu
with many turns Of brightly woven
braid. with these precautions they
never suffer from cold feet, and chill
blains, corns or such like civilized COM
plaints are an unknown horror to
| them"
Concerning other customs the same
writer says: "The Lapps are essen
tally nomadic race and spend most
, of their lives wandering fancy rree
among the wild and glorious scenery
of their northern home. However, at
times no doubt the stiffness OF the
| frozen mountains becomes too STILL
and they turn their herds and start
toward their nearest meeting place
Twice year they hold these general
gatherings-at Easter and midsummer
when they congregate and hold a
general fair. 1t is on these occasions
that they celebrate their weddings and
funerals. The revelries last only about
ten days, but many marriages take
place between couples who perhaps
have never met previously.
"As soon as Lapp can afford to buy
enough reindeer for himself he leaves
the parental tent, takes wife and
roams away wherever his heart or
reindeer dictates. There are no social
distinctions In Lapland. Should man
have no reindeer or possibly have lost
what he had he travels with a rich
man and helps him tend the herd but
he lives and feeds with them In the
same tent and is quite on a social
equality until he can afford to start Off
with his own herd. Chicago News,

located and long since given up to
building sites. There should be some
thing sacred about the places where
our forefathers sleep and their graves
should be guarded with veneration.
In most large cities where once were
the early cemeteries, now are busy
thoroughfares.
The Waukesha Historical society of
which Miss Julia A. Lapman is the
secretary, has sent out an appeal for
the preservation of these old cemeter-
les. The appeal in part says:
"The old cemeteries where lie the
bodies of the pioneers of Wisconsin
those who braved the hardships of
the early days and laid firmly and
substantially the foundations of this
great state-are not receiving the
attention to which they are entitled
from us, their descendants. Some of
them are vacated to make way for
business or agriculture. Some of
them are in pitiable state of neglect
and decay. From some such bodies
as could be located have been removed,
but in an undertaking of this kind
some are doubtless always missed.
1.-THE rem aims of the pioneers are
entitled to more respect than this.
There is land enough in this country
let us keep the old cemeteries intact.
Let us build up public sentiment
that will prevent the neglect and
abandonment of these old resting
places, a sentiment from which may
ultimately come legislation designed
to protect them.
"We should remember that these
old burial places are landmarks of
local history, worthy of preservation
from this point alone"

TAKING A CABINET.

One of the good things about Gov
Wilson's way of making up his cabi-
net is that every body is permitted to
surmise and one mans guess is exact
ly as good as another. Near friends
aud veteran observers are all out in
the cold so far as real knowledge goes.
This may be sad situation for poll
tical experts, but the average citizen
enjoys it. In this particular business
Woodrow Wilson is for the common
people. At last they have been placed
on an equality with the trained
politicians. All the political
signs are falling in the national
horizon. The novelty of the situation
is not even yet fully realized. This is
not only a new broom but it is a new
deal in a variety of ways. AS whole
the country is very favorably disposed
toward Gov. Wilson, and bids him do
things in his own way and to take
his time about il. This also means
that it is an unusual sense the peo'
pie are going TO hold him responsible
He has advanced the idea of leader
ship, and the country hasstold him tc
go ahead and make goOd.-Sprlng

GETTING AsRAISE IN SALARY.

GETTING AsRAISE IN SALARY.
elbow Can 1 Get My Pay Raised?'
is subject that agitates the minds Of
most men and women who are en-
ployed by others. In these days OF
increased cost of living it is subject
deserving of serious thought and I'M
less one can increase his pay the gap
between what he is receiving and
what he must have in order to meet
his necessities may become disastrous.
The topic is not only of serious
thought to the young man just re-
ceiving his first pay envelopes but is
of vital interest to men veterans as
workers. A writer by the name of
John 9. Fowler, Jr., has issued book
upon the subject and among
the pages will be found a num-
Der of replies received from leaders in
all walks of life. Here are a few of
them:
John r. Ainsley, importer, Boston:
"The surest way to get salary raised lis
to work like the dickens and make
yourselflso valuable that your employ
er can mot afford to lose you"
j. II. Douglas, vice-president
Quaker Oats company, Chicago: "My
observation leads me to say that the
average young man who does not sue
coed fails to do so because he lacks a
real interest in his business"

sity of South Dakota: s'My advice to
a young man who is determined to go
into teaching is to work the job and
not the public"

MR.. extern r1AY WIN.

The indications that the differences
between the government and the in
surance commissioner may not come
to conclusion for some time to come.
From the fact that the secretary of
state hesltated TO sign T.. A.
Anderson's commission and from the
disposition of the senate to delay the
confirmation of the appointment,
means that it may be some time
before the end is reached. IL the
meantime Insurance Commissioner
Ekern continues at his post and does
not propose to be ousted by any short
handed methods. Both Mr.. Ekern
and Mr.. Anderson are most capable
and nothing can be said as their want
of efficiency. Mr.. Ekern has a very
wide circle of friends who believe that
he should retain the office for he pro-
badly did no more in the way of politi-
