RoundIy Denounced.
Denunciation of Williams activity
in the local school board election is
heard on all sides. One citizen more
vehement than wise in his indignation,
said this morning that the man who
would conspire to disrupt the splen-
did local school organization ought to
be lynched.
Williams this morning refused to
make any statement

The Art of
Dressing.

There is nothing that holsters
up self-respect and creates self
confidence like the feeling of be-
ing well dressed. Certain of cor
rect personal appearance, most
men will approach any person
or situation with assurance. Con-
scious of an ill-cut coat or a
gaping collar, they will often
quail before the observant stare
of a street urchin-
To dress well and obtain this
feeling OF confidence is an art.

pounded on the door. We threatened to
kill any one who came inside the car,
out we could not shoot because the
bandits were holding Schell in front
OF them. Then the smaller robber
crawled under the car, saying, if we
can't get in we will blow you out with
dynamite Schell called out to us that
We had better come out or we would

Modified woman,s labor.

Warning sent out by the Young
Women's Christian association of San
Francisco that the number of young
women docking to that city in expec-
tation of employment through or by
the Panama exposition has become
alarmingly in excess of the demand is
interesting mainly as an evidence of
the newly developed mobility of wom-
ans labor 1t is, however, novelty
to find women setting forth from home
to journey thousands of miles across
the continent on bare hope of get
ting employment at better wages than
at home.
Whatever good or evil there may be
in this acquired ease Of mobilization
among women workers is a necessary
accompaniment of the economic eman.
cipation OF women which is SO distin-
gushing feature of recent industrial
life. The young girl of today does not
stay at home and wait for man to
make home and send for her.-New

Difficulties That the Massachusetts
Board Is Trying to Solve.
Because workmen's compensation
laws are new in this country ii is not
surprising that some defects have been

more workable SO it is not surprising
that a tangIe has been encountered id

The industrial accident board Of
Massachusetts. which has in charge
the matter Of payments under the
workmen's compensation act, is at

connection with Industrial accidents
The question is considered one of
much Importance to owners Under
the act they must pay surgeons and
hospital foes for the fourteen days
following an accident After that Pc
riod they begin to pay compensation
based upon the previous earnings of
the injured person. but cease TO pay
for care. In something over So per
cent of the accidents the workman was
incapacitated for less than the four
teen days In fact, the average cost
to the employer is ana probably viii

for the surgical and hospital treat

agree that the stand is wholly a just

A QUESTION OF WAGES.
UnskiIIed Toiler Not Paid Enough to
Support a Family.

S0PPOIh q = TdHily
Not very much evidence is required
to show that the portion of the un-
skilled worker is not enviable. In
dealing with the question of wages the
report on the survey of Newburgh, ~
Y. made by the Sage foundation. is
to the effect that wages in the skilled
trades are generally good. One is not
surprised to learn. however. that the
situation with regard to the unskilled
workers naturally is much less favor
able"
From detailed classification. in
fact, it was found that of 227 adult
workers. mostly unskilled. so per cent
received less than SO week and 10
per cent less than $12 Considering
only the unskilled. it was shown that
CT per cent were paid less than $40 a
week. The report continues:
Studies Of family budgets in Buffa-
10 and New York city in recent years
have revealed the fact that it takes
from $3.50 to $500 a year to supply an
average family of five with the bare
necessities of decent living Even as
Stunning that the cost of living in New
burgh is one eighth less--an allowance
that seems ampe-it is still clear that
many workers and most unskilled la
borers. as is the case elsewhere. get
less than enough to support an aver
age sized family in decency. Such a
condition leads to at least one of three
results Either the family is not sup
piled with the necessities of life and
its members become moral or physical
wrecks, sooner or later dependent on
the public for support, or the mother
goes to work. thus breaking up the
unity of home life and the children
as soon as possible follow suit Grip
pling their opportunities; or else the
family, in every emergency, falls back
on charity for relief, and the public
is called upon to make up the discrep-
ancy between living and less than liv-
ing wages"
