POOR NJ LONGER
 A MAT FOR THE RICH

PHILADELPHIA,Pa Pa, June 24.- Tt is insane not to recognize organi- cations of labor,'' declared John Wana- maker testifying before the federal board of industrial relations. He also asserted that Rockefeller made a mis- take when he placed the president in the position of being compelled to send troops to Colorado.
 Wanamaker declared himself for an eight-hour day or less. He said he be- lieved that the government should own public utilities as means of reducing industrial strife.
 Men and women are in a rising market" he said, land are no longer a mat for the rich to wipe their feet on."

She said she hoped the 1 day wasn't very far dTav. either, and then she wound up by saying: 'NLw go home and tell your father what an American woman, who isn afraid 10 talk, thinks of him." She and her daughter turned away, staIkei through the lines of soldiers and left the won derlng and astonished son O. tbe die tator to think things out.
 I'm telling this story of the Reyes family because it is the first chance l have to tell it, without endangering the lives or at least the liberty of that brave woman and her daughters.
 After the incident, secret service men haunted them and their home: even their servants, they discovered, were Huerta spies. And the other day they had to flee There was one white man" in the Huerta govern ment who called the girls to his of flee and said:
 Your mother and you girls had bet ter get out of the capital as soon as you can. Huerta is planning to ar rest her.

SOME TRICKS OF
 THE PATENT OFFICE

Applications for patent medicines are received in Washington at the rate of about 1000 a year, and according to recent statement of the Commiss- toner there were 119,930 aplications pending in his office, so it will be seen that the work is from eighteen to | twenty months behind. There are over 1000 cases between five and ten years old, and siXty-nine cases have been in the office for as long as fifteen years, and 7S0 more than eight years old. The delay in old cases is charged by the commissioner to the practice of many attorneys whose object is to obtain additional fees. Which is simply one of the tricks of the trade there are more tricks in this line of business than anything else con- nected with any practice of govern ment departments.
 It has long been. established that most patents are worthless and the reason is due to the fact that any kind of a trivial patent on any DOT tion of an invention, which will ,se- cure for many of the attorneys their fees, is all the average attorney de- sires.
 Receipts of the patent office for the first five months of the present ysnr were $96S,376. Most of this money is spent by poor deluded inventors whose so-called patents are valueless
