PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-There is a
bot of real "local color" in Potash &
Perlmutter, the sensationally popu-
lar Montague Glass play now run
ming, which portrays the doings of
those humorous Hebrew partners in
the cloak and suit business.
Among the characters are four
models, former chorus girls, and to
get the necessary ideas for their
parts the four girls worked for three
weeks as cloak models in a depart
ment store.
To give them more realism, the
girls sought and obtained the posi-
tions themselves, telling neither the
store management nor the other girls
of their purpose and for eighteen
days they worked as models, showing
off cloaks, suits and gowns to pros
pective buyers.
Never again for mine," said one
of the girls, telling of her experience.
"The chorus is plenty good enough
for me, thank you. Talking about
temptations, the glaringest part of
Broadway is Sunday school compar-
ed to those department stores.
"On the stage girl can go her
own way and not be molested if she
wants to, but those models cannot get
away from those fresh guys from
Kalamazoo and Syracuse, the buyers
| mean. Looking over suit, they
run their hands over the arms and
bodies of the girls to feel the fit
huh-and whisper a wine supper in
vitation every time. If those poor
models accepted every bid they got,
they'd be soused in no time and be-
sides would lose their shapes and
their jobs. The stage is safer for
girls any day in the week than de-
partment store, take it from me. l
know for had three weeks of it."

in public life will devote their atten-
tion to the great question of national

deavor to work out q policy which

the United States with the support
of the organized road movement Of

THE 1914 CAMPAIGN

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 8.-Pro-
gressive party leaders from all over
Michigan gathered today on Bois
Blanc island in the Detroit river to
lay plans for vigorous 1914 state
campaign. While the party chief
tains talked politics and ways and
means, the rank and file of Detroit
and Wayne county Bull Moosers
headed for the famous river park for
the annual outing. The entertain
ment part of the program today was
in the hands of the Wayne County
Progressive club. Victor Murdoch

There is a legend that an Indiar

quantity Of land an individual might

consent Of 4 parent or guardian.
The description Of the conditions
and the restatement Of those old pro-
tests prove to the general public of
our own time how great the changes
have been. Mr.. Gompers would at
tribute them to the efforts Of or
ganized labor, and that it has exert
ed q most powerful and decisive in
fluencs is perfectly clear. Further
more, as an indication Of the far
reaching effect Of the discussions
that have been aroused by intoler-
able conditions there has been grow
ing a general publis sentiment in
favor Of improvement in many ways;
and if, as Mr.. Gompers says, it is the
great purpose Of Labor day to keep
full and strong the tide Of energy
that has accomplished so much in the
past, the object is one to which So
ciety rs a whole now contributes with

LABOR DAY.

To-day, though the common peo-
pie dig and delve, go down into dark
and dreary places, do the work nee
essary to the intricate organizations
that supply social needs, yet many
of them are able, comfortable, and
happy past the conception of form

American Federationist
Remarkable changes have occur
red within few years, and the clos
ing years of the first half of the
nineteenth century furnish many
striking contrasts. The period is
treated very fully in the last volume
of McMaster's history, which puts
before its readers many instructive
facts. There had been labor move
ments in the country, business
panic that had checked them a re-
covery and resumption of the old
struggle. There was now renewed
demand for higher wages and short
er hours, and this is what the sur
vey shows:
Bricklayers in Cincinnati were
paid 81 a week. Bakers in Boston
were forced to work eighteen and
twenty hours day. Carpenters
and painters in Philadelphia re-
ceived SLIPS a day, and cordwain-
ers in New York SIS a week on the
average, for toiling, they said,
eighteen hours in the twenty-four." !"
Unskilled laborers in the city last
named received 65 cents a day.
