The situation was rendered more
critical by the strike of walters, affect
ing many Of the hotels of the city.
Cafes and restaurants have suffered
heavily because of insufficient help, and
some have threatened to engage ne
groes unless the striking walters re-
turn. Scenes of rioting in and about
several cafes have been reported. The
dining room force of the Y. M. G. A.
joined the strikers and many of the
better houses are affected. Scenes of
roting were enacted on the streets, and
special police protection was found
necessary in many instances. One case
was reported where the life of pro
prietor was threatened unless the de-
mands of his employees were granted.
In all the activities Of the restaurant
stIlhtIS, MiSS EdiHtbStiA ouiiSy lynn
the young organizer, has been a most
persistent champion of her cause. In
one of her addresses she urged new
attack in order to bring the employers
to terms. She declared that much of
the food served in the restaurants was
unfit and urged her companions to make
public their knowledge Of conditions in
the kitchen.
IT want every waiter and every cook
who knows anything about the adul-
teration of food,'' said Miss Flynn,
''about sending back food refused by
one guest to another, about highly fla
vored sauces to disguise unfit food, to
come to headquarters to make affidavits
as to the rotten conditions in the kitch-
ems to be sent to the board of health
and to the newspapers. If guests knew
one-half the things you know they
would not dare to 60 to one-half the
hotels and restaurants in this city. We

of place his nice dinner comes out of.

From the poverty stricken novels OF
Russia and her kindred countries, from
the plague-ridden districts of Southern
Europe the United States is claiming
annually her toll of ignorant and Tilt
crate immigrants. Careful as the de-
partment may be to safeguard the well
fare of our nation, watchful for dan
erous characters Of the Black Hand
and similar organizations, and con-
tinually resorting to deportation as a
protective measure, still the country is
filling up with undesirables, and there
seems no way to check the flow. The
problem of immigration in relation to
its effect upon the future of our coun-
try is one that must sooner or later be-
come an issue, for the facts as revealed
by the latest statistics are alarming.
A generation ago our population was
increasing steadily with an annual in
flux of immigrants from Germany,
Scandinavia and the United Kingdom,
attracted by the free land offers made
by Uncle Sam and the unbounded OPP
portunities for betterment These i'm
migrants were of the steady, sober
class, well educated as a rule and bear
ing very low percentage of illiteracy.
From one to four per cent represented
the number of illiterates. while their
thrift made them well odo within a
few years. Now the situation is com
pletely changed Of the 100000 for
eigners who annually seek our shores
the great majority come from Russia,
Austria, Hungary and Italy. Poor, op-
pressed, with no chance for betterment,
they listen to the siren voice of the
INSCRIPTIONS agent who is willing to
pay their fare across the ocean, for the
evils of their present existence stare
them in the face and they can see no
chance for worse fate. They hasten
to escape the known evils for the vague
hope of brighter horizon. From 10
to 4S per cent of them are illiterate.
Never having had anything in the old
country, they have not learned how to
make their way here. Many of them
are fit only for day labor.
If these immigrants would scatter
over the country and settle in the rural
districts the problem would be less

Fighting With Wooden Bullets
Ratified and Inundated Beaten at His Came Dishonesty

Ottoman has engendered the utmost
bitterness and hatred. For a genera
ton he has been molding the wooden
bullets that would some day be used
in defense Of his national integrity.
Within her own army the result is
the same. Military service under the
Sultan brought the worst OF abuses.
Every Mussulman is required to serve
seven years. But as no record of births
is kept, many escape service, while
others are forced to enlist a second and
third time. No one serves who can
pay. A picture Of modern military life
is given in fla Revolution Turque'
as follows:
CHARTERED in an isolated garrison
of Europe, Arabia or Africa, the pri-
vate is left without pay, without
clothes without shoes, without bread.
The ministers, the projects and the Of
ficers steal the appropriations, rob the
commissary stores and even the ar
senals. Half naked, hungry, smitten
with fevers and syphilis, the unfortu-
nate soldier is forced to brigandage or
revolt, In a Mohammcdan district he
goes hungry long time before robbing
the inhabitants In Christian dis
trict each garrison is pest for miles
about
The Turkish soldier is not less brave
today than in the past. Time after
time he has remained at the front
when weakened from lack of food be-
cause the organization at headquarters
did not send forward supplies. More
than one defeat chalked up against
the Turk was brought about by this
means. And here lies another cause
for the decline of the Ottoman empire.
Dssension within the ranks OF the
government has served to thwart many
plans. The young Turk against the
old. education and freedom fighting to
snpplant the ancient traditions of the
race, patriotism against anarchy have
disrupted the nation for decades. The
policy of the Sultan and his advisers
has been moldng the wooden bullets
that are now so ineffective against
their enemies.
During all the years Of treachery on
the part of Turkish rulers there occa-
sionaly rose up men of sterling worth
who looked to the future with eyes that
saw the conditions existing today. OF
these Midhat Pasha stands as the one
pre- eminent example of wisdom and
craftsmanship. 1t was he who gave to
the nation the constitution which time
and again came to the aid Of Turkeys
rulers when Intervention by the pow
ers threatened to set things right. But
Turkey was not ready for the constr

For several weeks past New York
has been in. upheaval because OF the
strike of 100000 garment workers and
the concurrent strike Of walters in ho-
tells and restaurants. These strikes
have been most obstinate and have eli
cited much sympathy, both from other
unions and from persons outside the in
fluence of labor. The large number of
wemen and girls involved is probably
in part responsible for this, for the
condition of many of these women is
very close to the starvation line. The
effects Of hunger and cold have been
noticeable in spite Of efforts to give re-
lief by the establishing of depots for
the distribution of clothing and money
and the opening up of free lunch rooms.
The strikers demand better pay and
shorter hours, besides general better
ment of sanitary conditions in facto-
ries and restaurants where they are
employed,
Much influence has been brought to
bear upon Legislators and city officials
looking toward the betterment of con-
ditions in the trades affected by the
garment workers strike. ExPresident
Roosevelt announced that the execu-
tive committee of the Progressive
party would use its influence in the
legislature to secure the creation of
minimum wage boards in the garment
trades.
In speaking of the conditions among
workers in the garment factories the
head Of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union said, ''They are
worse paid than the workers in any
other occupation / know of. Girls on
leaving school will be employed in the
white goods factory at $l.50 n week.
In six months they will get an advance
of fifty cents week and in another
six months another fifty cents a week

earn So a week and they seldom reach

the girls 35 cents week each for cleo

Divorce MinMay Slow Up?
East Worried Over Proposed Action by Nevada Legislature

A wall of woe has gone up from the
effete East over the sudden announce
ment that the state legislature of Ne
vada may pass law during its present
session extending the residence re-
quirement for Divorces from six
months to year. For without Reno
and its divorce colony the wealthy mis-
fits of the country will be up against
it. If the legislature does pass the
odious law there will be rush in the
heart healing business up to the time
the new measure goes into effect.
After that what9 Probably the cry,
son to Mexico!"
1t is easy to imagine the effect of
such measure on the wounded hearts
of the rich. Suppose, for instance, the
time for the new measure to go into ef-
feet is January l, 1914. Bands now
worn threadbare will suddenly snap and
the parties will hasten to the confines
of the friendly state. Others not
ready to snap will yield at once to the
scissors, while many ruptures un-
dreamed of will be suddenly effecte
and their principals carried away with
the popular stream of emigrants to
Reno. And after that, con to Mex
ico!"
Nevada has long been the mecca of
wounded hearts. In fact, since South
Dakota increased the residence require
ment for divorce Nevada has done
about all the heart-mending business
for the country. 1t has become in real
ity an art, and many have adopted it
as a speciality and made it their pro-
fession. A pretty society belle decides
to try matrimony just for fun. After
a couple of months she decides that
she doesn It like it and the doctor is
called in to make an examination into
the condition of her heart He finds
a small silver in it and extracts it. But
the wound thus left widens every day,
and after a twelve month has passed it
gapes wide open and the red blood
oozes and spurts until there is no love
left in the poor heart. The doctor ad-

vises change of climate and suggests
high, dry altitude for about six
months. Nevada offers the required
rarefication of ozone, and furthermore
there is sanitarium at Reno known
as the divorce colony, which has the
most remarkable record Of cures ever
heard of. Hundreds enter the SAM
tarium every year and go away cured.
The longest treatment ever recorded
was Just a little over six months, while
the great majority go away completely
cured at six months and one week.
The belle submits to her physician IS
advice and the treatment begins.
Surrounded by others of similar all
ment, with the sympathy Of kind
friends and the gentle care Of colony
specialists, her recovery is rapid.
Every day she can tell by her breath
ing that the gap in her heart is clos
ing up. At the end Of six months the
colony physician gives her little plas-
ter with instructions to wear it upon
her heart. 1t is the courts decree of
divorce. She suddenly finds that not
trace of the terrible wound remains
and she goes back to New York for an
other trial.
If the Nevada legislature passes the
bill the divorce business is going to
suffer. 1t is sad to think of the effect
such measure will have upon the
wounded hearts Of the aristocracy of
the country. Experimental matrimony,
one of the noblest institutions of our
nation, is sure to receive a setback that
we may never recover from. Further
more, Mexico may get some of our
wealthy citizens six months out of
every year. For with our sanitarium
shut down we have no other high, dry
climate that will do the business The
climate of Reno acts upon the ruptured
blood vessels of the heart very much
the same as green persimmon does on
your lips. It Fuckers them all up SO
you hardly know you have any. The
United States government ought to
take hand in it and stop the threat
ened action on the part of Nevada.

Immigration Puzzles Uncle Sam


the whole country by their own mar
row horizon, and discomfort, anarchy
and crime become their portion. Those
who are fortunate enough to secure en-
ployment save up their pennies and
send them back to a brother or friend

Nor is illiteracy the only factor A
large majority of these immigrants
come from fever and plague ridden sec
tions where overcrowding of popula-
ton and inattention to sanitation are
a constant menace to health and life.
Many parts of Europe are never abso-
lutely free from yellow fever, bubonic
plague and kindred diseases. The
germs of the pestilence are carried in
the ragged clothing of the immigrant.
