Now read Foley's letter again.

Isn't it fact that what the Illinois Central Rail
road COMPANY wants is cooperation and federation Of
efforts in its own behalf The Illinois Central Railroad
s organizing its employees into Federation for the Pur-
pose of reeainng the business has lost For this
pose the company willing recognize Federation But
if these employees tits slaves if you please) should at
tempt to cooperate for the purpose OF trying to extract
decent wage and decent working conditions from the
illinois Central Railroad Company-n that case SO tar
as the company is concerned Federation s wrong-co-
operation for such purpose would not be recognized
Foley's letter is clear. Comment is not necessary
70 perfect understanding of it. He is crying for the
business that the cooperative movement among the strk
ers caused him to lose If their system scientific enough
for the illinois Central to employ the strikers rest
assured that their efforts have been and effective
One paragraph of Foeys letter is amusing. I'm

Such statement amounts this If shipper at Free

An OBJECT LESSON

Since the inception of the shopmens strikes the
Pere Marquette Illinois Central and Hartman lines have
.xperienced the dspleasure of large decreases in their
roads has fallen off to large extent This decrease can
be attributed to the strikes these roads, Many people
have refused patronize them because of their unfair
attitude toward organized labor. Shippers have been
made aware of the strike first by their inability to get
adequate service when shipping these roads, and
patronze the struck roads because of their unarness
organized labor.
The boycott inaugurated against these roads by
organized labor has been effective In fact effective
has it been that these roads this time catering
the strkers-they making efforts to regain their lost
business by the of the the strikers and
organized labor employed in getting their business away
from them In several cities where the struck roads oper
ate there has been put into effect system for distributing
Advertising posters begging for the business of the
muny. the travelling public and the shippers For exam
ple at Waterloo. Iowa. which terminal point OF the
illinois Central. the company has distributed thousands
Of cards. These cards admit that the Central is not get
money paid by the company in wages to employees.
ETC. AT still other points threats are being made to move
the shops and terminals other cities If the shippers
and travelling public still refuse to patronze the company
Financial reports made by the struck roads dem
that the lines being operated at an enormous
expense but that in spite of this fact BUSINESS Is d.
REASINC. This state of affairs has brought to the
officials of the struck roads realization OF the tact that
something beside card system Of advertising necessary
to bring back their business and last resort each
poye of the roads has been made special agent tor the
purpose of securing traffic The following letter sent out
by General Manager Foley of the Illinois Central is self

1t Squares With the Right.
portland Press.O

Viewed from any standpoint the
Republican party in Maine squares
with the right upon every issue which
is before the voters in this campaign.
1t stands for the protection of Ameri-
can labor by a tariff which will prevent
cheap foreign labor from smothering
the industries of our own country and
lowering the standard of living of our
own people. 1t stands for justice to
labor in the enactment of laws in this
State which will enable the laboring
man TO recover compensation for i'll
iuries received without having recourse
to the uncertainties and expense OF
law suits. 1t stands for shorter WORK
ing hours for women and children. II
has enacted and supports a puhie utli-
tiles law which creates COMMISSION
or a court to stand between the con-
sumner on the one hand and the cor
poratfons which furnish light, power
and transportation upon the other. II
stands for the uniform and strict en-
forcement of all laws. 1t condemns
and disapproves of the weak, waVer
ire and uncertain foreign polcles ol
the Wilson administration which nave
served TO lower the dignity OF our
country in the minds of the people OF
the whole world. II is party Oh
progress in Maine, dominated by no
bosses welding power and influence by
control of federal patronage. 1t en-
dorses the administration of state az
fairs by Governor William I. Halnes,
which measures up to the highest
standard of efficiency and economy IN
every department. Upon all OF these
great questions, which are the issues
in this campaign, the Republican party
absolutely squares with the right ana
because 1t is right upon all these mat
ters it is certain to be victorious III

Pottery Industry Under New Tariff.


Democratic supporters of the Under
wood tariff were loud in their claims
that the new law would result in a de-
cided reduction on raw materials but
it seems to be working the other way
according to Secretary Wells of the
Potters' Association who declares that
the cost of production in this import
ant industry has greatly increased. Mr..
Wells says:
IF potters continue to market pro-
duction at present prices, it will be
necessary to run factories full TO
maintain average profits of several
years past of about per cent. But
if demand continues light as now, ex-
pense of running at partial capacity
will absorb the small margin of profit
and more.
I'm the pottery industry in the Ohio
Valley and adjacent districts, there are
employed 1900, people who receive an
average for skilled and unskilled work
of s1450. 1t is the highest average
shown by an industry in the Country.
1t is 21s times as high as that of the
pottery industry in England and three
times as high as any other European
country"

Editorial Comment.
Thoughts Bring Safety.
(Boston Globe.)


Safety is largely a matter of
thought. 1t is thinking at the right
moment and then acting on your
thought Carelessness, thoughtless-
ness. day-dreaming, cause accidents.
1t is, therefore, an excellent idea to
have day set aside to impress upon
us the need of taking care of our
selves Strange to say, we need 1t.
More accidents are caused through
lack of attention, to failure on our
part to think of what we are doing
than to recklessness or mistakes in
judgment. 1t is no time to think of
summer styles or the standing of
stocks when we are crossing the
street or alighting from a car. 1t is
no time to wonder how the ball game
came out when boarding and leaving
the elevator in your building at the
end of the day. 1t is no time to have
your mind wandering to any por-
ton of the world where you might
like to be when you are on busy
street.
Safety is in thinking. 1t is men
tai state of being on the job for your
own good 1t is an easy frame of
mind to cultivate. One becomes
habitually careful asS easily as one
becomes habitually careless.

A World Wide Movement
portland Sunday telegram

portland Sunday telegram
The crusade against the fires and un-
restrained sale ofintoxicants is not con-
fined to the United States. It is a world
wide movement. Even the British Isles
is feeling the force of it and an attempt
is being made not only In England. but
in Scotland and Ireland to place greater
restrictions upon the traffic By the
operation of new law in Scotland the
Scottish workingman has been deprived
of his early morning drink, the law not
permitting the saloons to open until 10
o'clock in the morning A London dis
patch tells the story in these words:
1T has been found that the habit of
drinking before breakfast has a bad eff
feet on the health of the workingman
and law has Just come into force which
precents the saloons or clubs from
opening before 10 o'clock in the morning.
BY this time the men have returned to
work and the time for temptation passed.
while the regulation applies to the
whole of Scotland, the mischief 1t is in
tended to strike at is localized in the in

Goes Makers of the Nation. by Fan
ME E. Coe, teacher in the Boston Nor
NAL School, author OF Founders of
Our Country. Cloth, 12mo, 3S4 pages,
illustrated. Price, Sc cents. American
Book Company, New York, Cincinnati
and Chicago.
The stories in this book, Of frontiers
men, statesmen, inventors, business
men, and soldiers, cover the period
from 1865 to 1866, and follow the
program of the Committee of Eight
of the American Historical Association
for the fifth grade. The important
events in American history are pre-
scented in connection with the lives of
great men. The narrative is clear,
vivid, dramatic and easily read and
understood by children. Care has been
taken to show the manners, customs,
and industries of the people. and TO
provide pictures true to the times. In
the selection of incident and detail and
in the manner of presentation, the
author has also kept in mind the NOR
al value of history, the reverence due
to the memory of noble leaders, and
the education of the will which comes
from early acquaintance with the
lives of strong forceful men. The Illus
trations are numerous and attractive.

the custom for the workingmen to start
their day at in the morning and con-
tinue unail $50 In the evening with
breakfast interval from 9. to $50. and a
dinner hour from l to .. With the sa-
looms open from o'clock there was
temptation for the ment TO take re-
fresher before breakfast. and this was
not only unwholesome in itself but con-
duced TO excessive drinking at other
hours
If the early morning drink is not good
for the workingman, neither is the after
noon nor the evening drink. In this age
of strong rivalry and sharp competition
efficiency Is the one thing desired. and
the greatest enemy to efficiency is strong
drink. Scotland's plan is good one as
far as 1t goes, but it does not go far
enough However, it can be set down as
forward step in the right direction.
More and more the evils of liquor are
coming to be recognized.

Greetings to GalIineer.

AT City Hall, Nashua, \. H., June
Is, the citizens of that city gave tes-
timonial luncheon in honor of Sen.
Jacob H. Gallinger. The occasion was
spontaneity with which responses were
made, and the unquestioned evidence
of heartfelt desire to honor the dis
tinguished statesman. The menu was
unique, bearing a fine half tone of
Dr. Gallinger and under Our Greet
ings to Senator Gallinger," the fol-
lowing:
HAS HE MADE GOOD TO NASHUA?
Our public building shows it
What city has better?
Our fish hatchery SO testifies!
One of the best in the country.
The hum of our spndles adds to the
evidence.
The pleasing song of the shoe ma
ehinery testifies thereto.
The carloads of refrieerators, freezers,
asbestos products, machinery, card
and summed paper shipped are
proofs.
His fight for protection has profited
each of US wage earners,
He has demanded and secured recoe-
milton for New Hampshire.
He has ever been the friend of the
old soldier.
He deserves our thanks and support
We can't release him yet!
HE MUST RE-ENLIST.
The Kennebec Journals greetings to
Senator Gallinger would be:
All honor to the man who dares to
live up to his honest convictions; who
is not swayed by the craze for popular
bubbles; who elings to fundamentals
despite the sneers of lightweight
toadies to public whims and miscon-
ceptions; who is not ashamed of yes
terday, and who judges the future by
the past, making due allowance for
the shading of progress.
