ing under the jurisdiction Of the COM
mission to regulate it
Two complaints were filed sgainst the
Iltney bus owners, one by the Charleston
Interurban Railroad company. alleging

sion act, under which they should ope-
rate, and the other complaint was filed
by James Smith, Bernard Clair aIsd Al
fred Caves, all colored. against iitney
bus owners by the names Of Howard

GETTING A START.
Business Honor.
BY NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, IN


Unless the employer is breaking ths
law. doing something which is legally
dishonest and acknowledged to be wrong,
the employe has no right to betray him,
to spread broadcast the secrets Of the
business or to talk over confidential mat
tiers with his associates or even with any
member OF his family.
The salary paid to the employe is not
only for work. 1t is for loyalty and for
honor.
IL you are opposed to the policy OF the
business In whic0 you are engaged. even
II II is not dishonest. you should i'm
mediately consider . change; but, a.
long as You remain with that firm. you
have no right to betray any confidence
that Is reposed in you. or to repeat any
private conversation, or in any way to
disclose the secrets OF the business, and
when you leave that concern you should
still maintain silence. You have taken
your employers money, and he has paid
you to consider his business confidential.
IL the business with which you are as
ISOLATED is dishonest, and opposed to ac-
cepted public policy, IL 1t is injurious 10

Immediately. That Is the solution to the

Some business men, and some moralists,

AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL
ART IS EXHIBITED
How Mr.. and Mrs. Jshn Smith"
Live One of Features in the
National Museum.

An exhibit Of American industrial art
was opened last night in the National
Museum with a reception in honor Of the
delegates to the sixth annual convention
Of the American Federation Of Art now
in session here. The view was private,
but will be thrown open to the public
today and will be open for several
weeks. The exhibit may be seen between
Q and 4:30 o'clock week days and be-
tween l: 80 and $50 o'clock in the after
noon Sundays.
The exhibits have been furnished by
the leading manufacturers and makers
in this country and its purpose is to
show how far American manufacturers
have progressed artistically and how IA
vorably they compare with the European
manufacturers whose products. for some
time to come. have been shut OF by the
war.
An interesting feature is the living
room in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Smith," who have an average pocket
book, but a wealth Of artistic taste.
This room shows what the American of
moderate means can do b. way Of fur
nishing his home II he will use judy
ment while spending his money. according
to William Laurel Harris. who Is in
charge of the room.
All the furniture in the room was
produced by Grand Rapids manufac-
turers. The other fittings, draperies.
trimmings. upholstery. glass. pottery,
mosaic, lamps. mantels. paintings.
piano. rugs. tapestries and wall COW
erings were produced by New York
firms The room was arranged under
direction of the magazine, Good Fur
niture.
The Pennsylvania School Of Indus
trial Art has a room for it's exhibit
and is the only school represented. It
includes a silver chalice set with
amethysts which has been styled the
most wonderful piece Of metal craft
work ever produced in a school In
the United States of America. Its
value is estimated at more than $500.
The school exhibit also includes the
work of one of its graduates. Samuel
Yellin, Of Philadelphia, a widely
known expert ironworker.
There are scores Of large glass
cases containing exhibits. One Of the
exhibits Is a piece Of
quartz work. 1t looks to the mex
perienced like an ordinary sherbet
glass such as are for sale in stores
for 10 or Is cents apiece. This sher-
bet receptacle, however. sells for
$4,000 a dozen.

MOTHER JONES, so, IS
Still ON firing Line
Informs Industrial Commission She
Makes Her Home Wherever
There Is a Fight.

Mother Jones'" the so-year-od organ
izer and propaganda Of trade unionism
in general and mine workers in particu-
lar. yesterday gave the Commission on
Industrial Relations a graphic story of
her experience in strikes and lockouts
dating from the Pennsylvania Railroad
strike in 1877 and including the recent
troubles OF the miners in West Virginia
and Colorado.
Il live wherever there is a night;
wherever the capitalist robbers are fight
ing the workers. I go there she said in
reply to a question.
At one time she drew a vivid picture
OF the wife OF an imprisoned striker, who
came to her, bearing her newborn babe
in her arms, and begged her to tell her
what she could do or should do while
her husband was in jail.
1T is on the quivering breasts and
blasted hopes Of these mothers that tho
rich carry on their philanthropies," de-
clared Mother" Jones, raising her voice
in a dramatic appeal
William D. Haywood. secretary-treas-
urer of the Industrial Workers Of the
World, in concluding his testimony yes
terday. said:
Give the unemployed employment.
Government work in the reclamation
service. reforestation, public buildings.
and other improvements might be pro-
vided on a scale that would so far to-
ward relieving distress and putting an
end to discomfort and unrest
Mrs. J. Borden Hartman. the woman
member of the commission. asked Mr..
Haywood how he reconciled his opposi-
ton to war with his advocacy Of violence
by workers In Industrial disturbances.
The witness at first objected to the pre-
sumption that he favored violence. but
finally admitted taht perhaps he did.
Nothing more violent could be done
to a capitalist than to drain his pocket
book" he said. II believe in that"
