SAYS DIScHARGING OF GIRLS IS
BIG BUSINESS MOVE

Mary Anderson of the Women's
Trade Union League believes the
present wholesale discharge of en-
ployes by several corporations is
merely a scheme of Big Business to
embarrass the Wilson administration.
There is no necessity otherwise
for their action" said Miss Anderson.
The European war excuse is ridicul-
Gus. The war has not affected the
industries of this country. In fact,
labor should be at a premium.
why should the Chicago TeIe-
phone Co. discharge their girls in
such wholesale lots? They still
maintain that they are increasing the
number of subscribers. And yet they
are laying off girls, thereby Gripping
their service.
And l see no reason why the de-
partment stores should discharge
their girls. The war will cause every
one to buy their clothes here and the
stores should have one of their big
gest fall settings"

PROFESSOR JACQUES LOEB
on RACIAL INFERIORlTY.
Great Mental Powers Are Not Limited
to Special Races, He Says.

New York.-Professor Jacques Loeb
Of Columbia university in this city was
prevented by illness from attending
the recent conference of the National
Association For the Advancement Of
Colored People held in Baltimore. The
subject assigned to Professor Loeb
was "Heredity and Racial lnferiority."
Here are a few extracts from the ad-
dress prepared by Professor Loeb for
the occasion:
The modern work on heredity has
shown that hereditary characters are
as a rule not linked. but are transmit
ted independently Of each other. 1t Is
therefore contrary to all known facts
to say that with pigmented skin or
with a certain type Of eyes must nee
essarily be connected u lower degree Of
intelligence or moral control.
Practically nothing is known con-
cerning the mechanism or the heredity
Of mental or moral traits. 1t seems
that certain talents run in certain fam
ilies-that Is to say. unusual mathe-
matical ability. musical ability and tai
ent for drawing. All known facts indi-
cate that they are not limited to spe-
cial races, but that they are the pc
suliarity Of certain strains or families.
independently of race.
We do not even know to what ex-
tent the development Of mental and
moral traits depends upon the condi-
tion of the brain and the nervous sys-
TEN alone. and to what extent upon
the action of chemical substances pro-
duced in other organs of the body in
the form of internal secretions. Until
this Is settled all positive statements

Wounded Man Refused Admission to

The evil effects of race prejudice
were brought prominently to public
view in Pottsville. Pa. on May 20,
when an effort was made to have
George Baxter. who had been severe
ly wounded in a mine explosion, ad-
mitted to the Pottsville hospital. Mar
tin Dolan, a contract miner for whom
George Baxter worked. obtained a
mandamus which would have admit
ted the wounded man to the hospital,
but while the authorities Of the insti-
tuition were wrangling in court over
Baxter's admission he died.
One Of Baxter's eyes had been blown
out while at work and the other seri-
Ously injured. which required II speedy
operation. Mr. DOlan offered to pay
g! the extra expense of private
ward. hut the hospital officials refused
to permit Baxter's entrance until the
board Of managers consented. although
a section in the charter Of the hospital
provides that no distinction shall be
made in the treatment Of patients on
