IRON MouLpERs STRIKE

ST Paul, Minn.-The village OF
Shakopse, near here, is attracting
statewide attention because of an
iron moulders' strike against the Min
nesota Stove company, which, has
refused to live UP to agreements
made with these workers The com
pany discharged the chairman of the
grievance committee and forwarded
this unique letter to the unionists in
defense of its action: 1--WE under
stand you are getting, ready to market
stove which will be in competition
with us, and we therefore do not see
how we can consistently continue you
in our employ. We regret losing your
services but under the circumstances
do not see how we can do other
wise"
Tue union denied the charge and
offered to submit evidence to this ef-
feet, but the company answered, "He
is discharged and that settles it"

cONTEMPTIBLE FLING BY
STATESMAN

The Statesman takes a contempt
ible fling at the minimum wage COM
mission, which is gathering statis-
tics in behalf of a higher standard Of
wages for women, and claims that the
commission is Fostering employers
with questions, which it advises be
not answered. If there is more COM
pletely corporation-ridden publica-
ton in the United States than the
Statesman we have failed to see it.
This wage commission law is one of
the measures which the Legislature
passed through the earnest efforts of
organized labor and it is in line with
the progressive labor legislation of the
most advanced States of the union
1t is a good law and the personnel Of
the commission is of high standard,
and instead of the States leading
paper sneering at the law and advis-
ing that it be disregarded, that publi-
cation should do all in its power to
uphold the measure and aid in its en-
forcement.
The people of Idaho are heartily
disguised with the perpetual knocker
and are constantly Inundated by the
littleness of the paper that lays claim
to leadership in the State. Here is a
publication that has been issued for
more than fifty years, which should be
a very tower of strength to any cause
but which events prove time after
time has not one 1.-THE of the inf1u-
ence which it should possess; and
there's a reason not hard to find.
If there is a corporation in the State
that seeks to gouge the people, the
Statesman becomes its champion and
defender; if there is measure just
to labor enacted by the Legislature,
the Statesman, as in this instance,
seeks to belittle it and does, all pos
sible to hamper its enforcement; if
there is an official earnestly seeking
to do his duty, the Statesman puts
every obstacle in his path. But its
mouthings avail little as the people
time after time repudiate its advice
and show their thorough understand
ing, Of its character The only regret
is that instead of fulfilling its mission
as very leader in the vanguard of
progress, universally esteemed by all
citizens, it prefers to be the subservi-
ent tool of the special interests and
at all times does their bidding.

SOMEBODY'S DARLING"

Into d ward Of whitewashed walls,
Where the wounded and dyine
lay
Wounded BY bayonet, shells and
Somebody's darling was borne ons
day.
Somebody's darling! So young ane
brave,
Wearing still on the young, sweet
Soon to be hid by the dusk Of the
The lingering light Of his boyist
grace.
Matted and damp are the curls Of
Shading the snow Of his fair young
Pale are the he's Of The delicate
mold
Somebody's darling is dying now
Kiss him once for somebody's sake
Murmur prayer that is soft and
low;
One bright curl form the cluster
They we're somebody's pride, yor
know.
Close the dear eyes. He was some
body's love;
Somebody's heart tenshrined him
there;
Somebody waited his name above
Night and morning on wings o.
prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched
Looking so handsome, SO brave anC
grand
Somebody's kiss on his young lips
Somebody chung to his parting
hand.
Somewhere, somebody waits for him
Yearning to clasp him again to hei
heart;
There he lies-with the blue eyes
dim,
And the smiling. boyish lips apart
Tenderly bury the brave young dead
Pausing to drop on his grave
tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at hi
head
Somebody's darling is buriet
here"

SPEEDING UP" SYSTEMS PRO
DUcE INSANITY

Washington-"S Speeding up" sys-
TENS are sufficient to upset the mind
of an ordinary individual and produce
in sanity.
This, is what the solicitor of the
United States department of labor
thinks of the stop watch method of
production.
The department has sustained this
view, which is included in an opinion
by its legal advisor that worker in
jured because of a strain from work
ing under a speeding up" system is
entitled to relief under the federal
workmen' s compensation act.
The decision was made in the case
of d. c. Manning, sailmaker at the
Mare Island navy yard, Calf, who
workd for twenty years without los
ing a day from illness. A time card
system was introduced, and in his plea
for compensation, Manning brought
out these points:
Under the card system you had to
give an account of evevry minute you
were on job, and we were given
to understand that the men who did
the most work would hold their jobs
the longest Later the Halsey system
was introduced Under this plan 2
time man, equipped with tablet, lead
pencil and stop watch, sat in front Of
the worker to find out how long il
takes TO do certain piece Of work. The
report to headquarters was your flu.
ture standard that class Of work.
rThe Halsey system is designed tc
get out Of the man employed under
Il the greatest possible amount o.
work he can do in a given time, witt
the fear ever hanging over his head
that a failure to keep up to the stand.
ard viii cause him to lose his job."
Manning was engaged in making
coaling bags, which are AZ inches long
and eight feet in circumference. Il
is the hardest work in sailmaking.

FIRE SALE FAK|RS TO
PAY HEAVY LICENSE
To Do Business in Palatka
Ordinance Passed
Z Tuesday Night.

Less than three months ago fakir
from somewhere came to Palatka with
a carload of shoddy goods which ne
advertised and worked off at a So
called "Fire Sale" The council was
blamed for permitting the man to
come in and Skin" the people. But
there was no law then to prevent the
skinning. There is now; it was pass
ed last Tuesday night in open council.
1t seems that the same fakir was
applying for another license; this par,
ticular fakir liked Palatka, and he
wanted to come in and secure some
of that Christmas money which will
soon be turned loose.
The council, however, is not to he
caught the second time. The counci,
not only believes in protecting the
peonlc, but it believes in projecting
the merchants whc pay taxes IN Pa
latka. Hence the ordinance Of pro-
lection.
The new ordinance, which will be
found in Ill in another column Of
this paper, requires that all Fire
Sale" and slaughter Sale" timer
ants shall gay license of 81 per day
while dc:hg business. The council
hasn't the power to prohibit thaln al
together, hut it can, make lem pay
for the privilege, and will.

POOR HOUSE BUILDINGS
ACCEPTED BY COUNTY
Commissioners Expect to
Open Poor Farm in
January.

Possibly the most important work
of the board of county commissioners
at the meeting this week was that OF
inspecting and accepting the work Of
the contractors for The new buildings
CO the county poor farm. Messrs.
Johnson & Cannon, the contractors,
were paid the balance due them on ac-
count, 1,411.64, and were also praised
by the board for the thoroughness
with which they have performed their
contract. The board inspected the
work carefully. Commissioners Wal
dron. Rowton and Hancock were ap-
pointed to look after the furnishings
of the buildings and farm. B. G.,
Skies asked that he be appointed SUI
perintendent of the poor farm, but
the commissioners decided that they
would ask for bids.
The board also gave notice that af-
ter January no more county pauper
warrants would be issued, it being
understood that from then on all pau
pers asking aid will be cared for at
the farm.
Someone without the fear of God
in their hearts have been playing
cards in the court house, or reports
to that effect have come to the COM
missioners. No serious action was
taken, but some of the board were
evidently displeased that this should
be. Checkers have often been allowed
in the court houses of the various
counties to assist overworked officials
and their friends to pass social hour,
but cards should only be mentioned in
a whisper.
The board had an immense amount
of routine business before it and &C
complished much, but there was moth
ing of special moment, except it be
the fact that Julian d'Nazarie, CEN
sus enumerator and statistician En-
TRAORDINARY, had the nerve to
ask the board that he be appointed to
take the agricultural and manufac-
turing statistics of the county at so
much per statistic. His application
was placed on file and tucked away
in the archives.
Col. A. H. Odom, asked by the board
for an opinion concerning the duty Of
the board to order Incorporated cities
and towns paid a proportion of the
Road and Bridge tax, stated that I'M
der the act of 1918 these municipali-
ties were entitled to it.

Lad Met Death in Unusual Way.
Anderson Intelligencer.)
(To be continued.)


Thomas, the year old son of
Mr.. Charles Lofts, Of the Varennes
church section, sustained fatal in
juries yesterday afternoon about 1
o'clock when a cow which he was
driving to pasture, ran away and
dragged the lad some 300 yards.
The boys neck was broken.
The boy was driving the cow by a
rope, one end of which he had passed
around his body and fastened with a
snap. The cow became frightened
and made a quick lunge, which jerk
ed the boy off his feet. This appear
ed to frighten the cow still more
and she Immediately began to run.
The manner in which the rope was
fastened, caused it &C tighten about
the boys body like a moose, which
made it impossible for him to extri-
cate himself.
The animal ran for some 800
yards, dragging the lad all the way.
His neck was broken in the mean
time, and when assistance reached
the boy he was dead. The accident
is a deplorable one and the manner
in which the lad came to his death
is most unusual.

reduction in the carbohydrate
(corn and molasses) component ap-
pear highly desirable. On this point
we expect to hear warm protests
from asylum officials. We expect
to be informed that we must surely
be wrong, for at such and such in
stitutions, where ample allowance Of
fresh meat is made, there is, never
theless an excessive prevalence Of
pellagra. We do not know how
much meat is "allowed;" indeed, we
have no wish to doubt that an tam
pie allowance" is actually made.
From personal observation, how
ever, we know that some, at least,
of the inmates do not get an am
pie allowance. The little that they
do get on their plates they do not
always eat, at times perhaps because
of a delusional or other dislike for
meat, or by reasons of its having
been stolen from their plates by
another inmate "a "stealer"), or in
those who must be especially fed, be-
cause the feeding is not properly
done.
At asylums for the insane not on
ly should a mixed, well-balanced,
varied diet be furnished, but mea-
sures must be taken to see that the
individual patient actually eats it.
We have several times been as
sured, and it is not infrequently
reported in the literature, that diet
can have no causative relation to
pellagra, because in such and such
case the patient, usually a member
of a family in excellent circum-
stances, had a rich varied diet.
We have Investigated a number
of such cases and have found that
though there may indeed have been
a rich, varied diet on the family
table, the patient, by reason Of some
personal idiosyncracy, did not act
ually eat it. In other words, it is
assumed in such instances that the
diet of the family (or the institu-
tion) is the diet of the individual,
an error that is responsible for
much of the misconception and coil
fusion in current discussions of the
role of diet in the causation Of
pellagra..
To have a good, rich, mixed, we'll
balanced, and varied diet "on the
family table" is one thing; to cat
it is quite another. The former
is perhaps greatly to be desired,
but the latter alone, we believe, will
prevent pellagra.
