NOT TIE Sun AFTER ALL.

That sunstrokes and heat prostra-
tions in the United States must be
due to heat from within, caused by
unwise things people eat and drink,
is shown by facts from countries
where it really is hot. In parts of the
world the daily temperature is seldom
under 100 degrees and often rises to
100 for long periods. One would think
these were the ideal conditions for
sunstroke. AS a matter of fact, sun.
stroke seldom occurs in such climates.
On the Panama canal zone there have
been but three cases of sunstroke in
the eight and one-half years Ameri-
cans have been living there. In the
PHILIPPINE islands there has never
been a case of sunstroke so far as the
Spanish and Filipino physicians can
discover There have been none since
the Americans went there.
In one part, of India, where men
work with a temperature in the shade
of 10 degrees, the condition of the
white workmen who were observed
not only did not show deterioration,
bur actually showed improvement. In
this particular instance the men work
ed right out in the sun all day.
| These men consumed an average of
| three gallons of water per day and
their condition was so good throughout
the very hot weather, which lasts
something like two and a half or
! three months. that when they would
touch a thermometer with their hands
the mercury would fall from the regis.
tered mark of the outside air to the
mark of normal body heat. But these
men knew that they were in hot
I climate and they did not put inc
their stomachs things that made great
| heat within their bodies.
| Now. what does ali this prove
/ Doesn't it go to show that the sun il
not wicked murderer? Doesn't il
rather show that improper feeding an.
improper drinking is the cause?

the most wretehed occupation on
earth.
Modern strikes OF sailors we're I'M
awaiting. and Andrew Furuseth, when
he took up the battle for freedom is
years ago. clearly saw the reason. II
was useless to strike when the slav
cry was authorized by law. The only
hope lay in changing the law. And
so Andrew Furuseth came on to
Washington.
For eighteen years this Norwegian
sailor has been patiently at work.

of mind and vision are dwarfed by
the mentality of this remarkable man,
have been regarding him as low
browed" sailor who could safely be
neglected while the minions of the
millionaire vessel owners of the earth
had their way.
i Furuseth almost won in the last
congress. A bill which ended involun-
tary servitude at sea passed the house.
But the senate amendments yiscerat'

amendments were killed before the
bill passed, President Taft successful

against the greatest combination Of
capital one man ever set out to fight.
He has been fighting the combined
vessel owners of the earth, with sew
eral transcontinental American rail-
roads thrown in.
In those IS years Furuseth has seen
an entire generation of the men he
set out to help disappear from the
high seas, while a new generation has
come in. To both generations Flu
ruseth has counseled moderation, re-
preston and peaceful action in secur-
ing better labor conditions. He has
been dealing with sailors, one of the
toughest classes of men, yet Andrew
Furuseth has given them of his great
stores of patience.
And the American congress and the
American people. who despise strikes
and violence and wonder why labor
cannot be content with peaceful
means have rewarded FuruSeth by
giving him-nothing.
The sailor, under existing laws and
treaties, cannot be regarded as free
labOrer. He must sign with a vessel
for term. If he strikes against op
pressive treatment he is a mutineeI
and can be severely punished. His
wages are withheld until the end OF
his service, and the laws are such
that he can be virtually sold into

Kingston. from its settlement by a
younger son of an English nobleman

aristocratic town. There was scarcely
a house in it that was not owned by
woman, for the men as fast as they
came to years of maturity went to
more active places. But there was
not woman in Kingston whose house
was not a model of comfort, whose
silver had not been handed down in
the family for more than a century
some of them three centuries-and
whose furniture was not antique.
True. much of the original wealth
Of the inhabitants of Kingston had

bright means of legitimate business.
Let us examine the first installment
of Mulhall's testimony before the SEN
ate committee: We find it was custom
airy for Secretary Gushing of the Ma
ticnal Association of Manufacturers to
send out his letters without signing
hems, Is that the custom of honorable
/ business?
We find Mulhall, the paid employe
of the National Association of Manu-.
facturers, as the head of the Work
mems Protective association, a fake
labor organization, financed largely
by the secretary of the manufacturers
association, who directed its policy.
1t was republican in politics, but much
of its energy, apparently, was expend-
ed in harrassing and attempting to
remove from public life republican,

pioned the eight-hour law. A pseudo
labor organization, the stool pigeon

facturers, waging bitter and under.
| handed war on real friend of labor
! Do the Parrys and the Kirbys and the
rest of them undertake to say that that
| kind of ambushing is considered ethi
/ cal by honorable business?
:: seems that Senator McComas bad
appointed Mulhall to job and Secre
tary Cushing of the n. A. NJ. tried
| through friends, to influence Nc
Comas to retain Mulhall in that Job;
| though, of course. he could not show
his hand in the campaign because the
! organization he worked for was bent
on crushing out McComas. Truly this
reveals Mulhall in wretched light,
! but IL turns precisely the same glare
on Mr.. Cushing and the men higher
up in the n. A. NJ.
We find this fake labor organization
revived and sustained by the n. A. NJ
sending Mulhall as an alternate to
the republican national convention tC
hour law by that body. He had tive
men with him, pretending to be unioI
labor men, and apparently they sue
ceeded in carrying out the wishes o
Mr.. Cushing and the National Asso
citation OF Manufacturers.
So much for Mulhall's first appear
ance on the witness stand. If he tell
the truth he convicts the Nationa
Association of Manufacturers of sneal
thief tactics.
There is not a hint of honorable
business fighting in the whole miser
able tale.
