Labor Bill Passes House.

Washington, June 19.-By vote
of 277 to 54 the House of Repre-
sentatives passed the Clayton anti
trust bill, as approved by its COM
mittee of the whole. This bill con-
tains provisions which not only
guarantee the freedom of labor and
farmers organizations from the
Sherman antitrust law, but also
prevent abuses of the writ of in
junction and provide jury trials
for alleged charges of indirect con-
tempt The bill is now in the
hands Of the Senate, and has been
referred by that body to its judi
ciary committee, where efforts will
be made by opponents OF the labor
sectiou to make these features of
the bill lifeless and ineffective by
numerous amendments and by un-
necessary delay. The American
Federation of Labor Is alive to
these dangers, and to the necessity
for the most vigorous action by
trade unionists everywhere. Pre-
sident Gompers and Secretary
Morrison haue issued call to ali
organized workers and their friends
to write their Senators and urge
that the bill be accepted as pre-
sented by the House. In cases
where Senators are known to be
friendly to the cause of labor they
too, should be written, that they
may be encouraged in their posi-,
ton.

Safety At Sea.

The sinking of the Empress of
Ireland, with an appalling loss of
life of probably 1000, In the St.
Lawrence river serves to recall the
hollow mockery of the claim of the
steamship company press agent
whose favorite stock phrase is that
steamship travel is as safe as land
travel, or that with variations.
The Empress of Ireland catas-
trophe Is all the more shocking In
that 1t occurred in the St Lawrence
river, itself, and not in midocean,
where, according to popular belief,
the greatest maritime dangers are
encountered.
News reports differ as to the
length of time the Empress of Ire
land remained afoat, after the COL
lision, some saying ten minutes,
others twenty minutes. Certainly
the time was no longer than twen-
ty minutes. Many sank to a watery
grave without ever being aroused
from their slumbers. S. O. S calls
heard by vessels ten miles away
were wasted, for the giant liner
had disappeared before the rescuers
could reach the scene.
The vast increase in ocean travel
in recent years, 1t Is true, has in
creased the probability of rescue in
case of ship wreck. but at the same
time it has resulted in greater dan
ger of collision.
More efficient maritime regula.
tions are among the worlds great
est needs at present.

Yours fraternally, I"

This letter did not come from a
union man. 1t came from SYM
pathetic, thoughtful human; man
immersed mentally in that which
makes for good. His letter teaches
a lesson of helpfulness, uplift and
betterment.
1t is applicable keenly to the
Hendee metal polishers' situation.
These 125 men are standing out
loyalty, splendidly. Against them
is a capital of more than $l2, ,000,-
900.
The victory of the 125 against
the S12, 900, 900 will mark an epoch
in unionism; it will dwell in mem
ory as graphically as the immortal
charge of the Six Hundred.
All that is good in fiction; all
that is graphic, grand and great in
realty, marks the battle that the
125 are making against the dozen
millions on the Hendee battlefield
in Springfield. town, by the way,
not far from where the great battle
for Americas indepeadency was
fought.
One word in closing, TO organ
lied labor everywhere: Publicity
will win this strike. Let every
true union man keep the fact con-
stantly before the public that or
ganized labor is on strike at the
factory of the Indian Motecycle
company to resist a reduction in
wages of S1.1 a day. The strike

3, 900 men. Remember that this
factory, with its millions of capital
now employs 500 men. Tell your
fellow unionisis about the Hendee
product; tell them of the splendid
strike your brothers are making;
tell them what moral effect this
valiant effort has made.
And isn't it pleasing to contem-
plate that not one of the original
125 has deserted.
Just yesterday there came man
into union officials cffice, and re-
marked that he had read about the
magnificent resistance and forti-
tude of the Hendee strikers, and he
wished to submit this appreciation
of these men particularly, and of
all of those who stand out for what
is right and just and equitable.
His contribution is here; it seems
to strike tremendously true.
ITO the Hendee Strikers:
Times most ancient records
and myths, going back to the days
when the world was in it's infancy,
record deeds of self-sacrihce as the
most noble in human experience.
In these tales there has always
been to me a world of admiration.

tion, with the sacrifices, the heroics
the feats of bravado and denial, yet
find in them no keener JOY than

HELD TO BELONG TO GREECE
Service, and the United States
Can Do Nothing.

Arthur B Cooke, United States con.
sui at Patras, in Greece, describes the
duties of his Office in the Youths Com.
panion. He has disposed of several
cases of would-be emigrants, who, for
one reason or another, would not be
allowed to enter the United States.
1.-THE next applicant was a Greek,
who told touching story. He had
gone to America years before; and
become a citizen under the law; had
married there, and was bringing up
a family of good Americans. Bust
ness had brought him on a trip to
Greece, and the mother country had
laid hands on him for her army. He
was distracted, and came hoping that
the stars and stripes could shield him
from Turkish bullets.
Unfortunately, the consul could
not help him.
What exclaims the American
reader. Does not the flag protect our
citizens at all times and in all places?"
Theoretically, yes. Practically. no.
THE man had been Greek before he
became an American, and the king Of
the Hellenes does not recognize the
right of his subjects to dof their
fealty without his consent. In default
of any treaty to the contrary the max
i'm applies that possession is nine
points of the law. And SO the king

GENERAL LOVE OF PRAISE
Common to All MortaIs, and In 10
Proper Form 10 Not an In
"a stinct Of Evil.

Love. of praise is one Of the weak
nesses Of mortals. Some there be,
who If not praised by others, don't
hesitate to praise themselves II
praised by others, they parade, with
no thought of the "delicacy of praise"
what others say of them. Such deem
1t legitimate to solicit the praise for
which they lust, knowing that there
are men in the world who are as
careless in attesting and magnifying
the assumed virtues of others as
many are in signing petitions, Of the
substance Of which they take no
thought.
This love Of praise is confined to
no class Of men. 1t is an incentive to
the poor man who works faithfully
for his daily bread; the average man
of wealth Is not deaf to praise, even
though it may come from one Of his
menials. This love of praise is not
an instinct of evil, 1t may be Just the
opposite If 1t is born Of desire to
be thought we'll Of by ones fellow
men, or Of purpose to make oneself
worthy of the confidence and esteem
Of others, by treating others as one
would have them treat him.

One period Of the decline of the
Roman empire, you remember, was
marked by the activities of Agrippina.
In her second widowhood she induced
the Emperor Claudius, her own uncle,
to marry her. and espoused his daugh-
ter, though already betrothed to an
other, to her own son, Nero. In or
der to bring the latter to the throne,
she ruined many rich and noble Ro-
mans, excluded Britannicus, the son
OF Claudius by Messalina, and final
ly poisoned the emperor, her husband.
She then endeavored to govern
through her son, Nero, who was pro-
claimed emperor; but her ascendancy
proving intolerable, Nero caused her
to be put to death.
Other women, nearly as detestable,
afterward sprang into the limelight.
And in due time the Roman empire
fell.

Value Of the Playground.

The public playground is of value
because of its moral influence upon
the children who frequent 1t. The
playground is supervised, and herein
lies its great success. Although there
is plenty Of freedom. yet some SEM
blance Of order is kept. Gambling,
profanity, vulgarity, smoking are for
hidden. The ground is a miniature
republic. Children are treated as citi-
zens of this little republic. They learn
there the laws Of good citizenship.
Courtesy is required. All pushing and
scrambling for best places is met with
a merited rebuke from pupils and d.
rector. Supervision Of games removes
all desire for brutality or cheating. A
fine feeling is generated between chill
dren of different races, spirit of fair
ness and good-fellowship prevails to
such an extent that the supervisor in
his report speaks Of it as the spirit OF
the playground" ut is an established
fact that the playground" says Luther

relationships which is basal to whole

Curious Gaelic Alphabet.

A very curious and distinguishing
characteristic of the Gaelic alphabet
is that nearly every letter thereof is
represented by tree. While the al
phabet of ancient Gaelic comprised
but II letters, that of modern Gaelic
has IS. But with the new, as with
the old. forms the letter is represented
by tree. The exceptions are e"

"furZe" and heather"
The alphabet now stands: Aim,

saying: Elm, birch, hazel, oak, aspen,
alder, ivy, whitehorn, yew, rowan, or

Grafton of Tuscan Women an associa-

see an already difficult position threat

Italy parents often interfere in the
schools, usually taking the part of

They often see in the professor an

For this reason the schools Of Italy
