May 29-Sarah, Duchess Of
Marlborough.

! To put it plainly, Sarah. Duchess of
! Marlborough, was. besides being one OF
the most beautiful women of the sew
| enteenth century. one of the most sue
cessful grafters ever known in England.
and with her husband. John Churchill.
/ Duke of Marlborough. they carried on
| for many years n successful hold-up
i game with the English government that
! has never been equaled in the history
! of the country.
| She was a very beautiful and sprightly
young woman acting as an attendant in
the household of Mary of Modena when
| the handsome John Churchill met her.
and although his family objected to u
match and deemed her beneath him, and
although Sarah was quick-tempered and
tickle. and although John Churchill was
one of the gayest young men of the
I time the match was finally brought
about in 1918.
Throughout the long career of the
great Duke of Marlborough Sarah played
brilliant though fltsui part, her beauty
and brlliance aiding him at every
hand An interesting list of the vari-
Gus sources of income derived by the
Churchills from the English government
has been frequently quoted The total
amount of this income was G.. 325 pounds,
the equivalent of over s311.625 a year.
The various roles under which this in
come was derived were. general of the
English forces. master of the ordnance.
colonel of the guards. For travelling ex-
penses. for entertaining and for pres
ents of diplomatic nature he received
an additional fortune. The duchess re-
Ceived $500 pounds a year as groom of
the stable and 1.500 pounds for each of
the three following Offices: Ranger of
Windsor, Mistress of the Robes and
Keeper OF the Privy Purse. In addition
to all this income the English govern
ment was drained for the building of
the great Marlborough castle called
Blrnheim.

MAKING A DISCOVERY.

That we American women are real
" not crude. awkward, ill-mannereo
and badly dressed is the discovery
that the wives and daughters of the
South Americans here this week tc
atten the Pan-American Financial
Conference have discovered for them
selves. They will be pioneers in the
real understanding of women OF the
United States and they will go back
TO their native land to let the other
women know how mistaken they have
been about us American women all
along.
The South American women buy
their clothes directly from Europe or
else adopt European designed clothes
to their own uses much the same way
that we do in this country. They
! import their hats and gloves. their
fSiIet articles, powders and perfumes
from the old world, almost never as
vet from the republic of North Amer
lea. Their magazines. their ideas, their
inspiration. comes even more from
the Old World than ours do. No won
der then that they did not realize how
advanced our women really were in
matters purely feminine. That we had
progressed from the position OF squaw
of our red skinned predecessors they
knew, but that VIC followed Paris
fashions, kept pace with the arts, with
music, knew the new dances and
heard the same operas they never
dreamed. And many OF Us had quite
as hazv an idea Of the woman OF the
South American countries.
So they have discovered that we
are thoroughly ciyilizcd-cNcn cuiti-
waited, fashionable. Par1s-Gowned
women, and we have discovered that
they arc also civilized. cultivated and

The exception. that we would like
to note, says the Shoe Workers Jour-
nal, to the article quoted is that, from
our point Of view, when the wage
Garner enters the, factory door he does
not need to concern himself so much
with the profit he must earn for his
employer as with the wages he re-
ceives for his labor and the conditions
under which he works. If I work /
must have my daily wage, whether
the employer makes any money on
me or not. I work under his direc-
ton, on his materials, under condf-
tions in which he has all the say and
have none. He makes his own busi-
ness organization, makes his own
business organization, makes his own
selling campaign and the wage Garner
is in no position Of responsibility as to
his profit. Wage earners must look to
their unions to secure adequate wages
and proper: conditions Of employment,
leaving profits to be decided by the
employers in a field Of competition

are Whitfield down by the desire of

ness and where. those concerns that

pear.

Return From Convention.

Steps were taken at the meeting of
the Milwaukee: Federated Trades
council Wednesday, night to arrange a
labor mass meeting in the Auditorium
next month, to be addressed by presi-
dents OF various, International unions,
including, possibly, Samuel .Gompers..
It is aimed to secure the presence
of these notables as they proceed east
on their return from the, American
Federation of Labor convention in Los
Angeles. .4-s"s. I
The request came from the metal
trades department and was presented
by j: J.. Handley. He asked that a
committee OILS, representing various
crafts. be named to prosecute the.
plan. -, y:
Many Opposed to G0mpers.
There is considerable speculation as
to whether Gompers will come, as he
has never lost a. chance to attack the
Milwaukee labor movement for its
Socialistic leaning.
When the idea of inviting Gompers
was first preached in the council it
awakened a bitter discussion and a
good deal Of opposition.
James McVety, vice president of the
British Columbia Federation Of Labor,
! was present and spoke on the subject
| Of workmen's; compensation.
He is one of committee of labor
| men appointed to visit various states
to secure knowledge on the subject,
as similar legislation is about to be
| enacted in the province. ;

he said, '"for it's success in electing
| workingmen to legislative office and in
having elected the only Socialistic con-
gresham on the American continent
has won great respect and admira-
ton"
He said that the employers, where
! ever they are found, are in favor of
workingmen compensation, and this
has given his committee some sur
! prise.
| In British Columbia the plan was to
have the employers merely pay their
premiums into the state fund and to
eliminate the insurance companies as
much as possible. He found that
wherever the insurance companies
| played a part there was trouble.

Recently The Labor World warmly
Endorsed the candidacy of Anton G..
Weiss for the United States senate.
It is still a passive candidacy, for Mr..
Weiss has not sought the office, and
has not even signified his Willingness
to make the races The "boom'', how
ever, has spread throughout the state,
1t is attracting attention" in the East,
where the Duluthian is known through
his connection with the Associated
Press and his closeness to the present
national administration. Here is what
the American Press, a New York
newspaper published for newspaper
workers and owners. has to say Of it:
Colonel A. C. Weiss, we'll known
publisher of the Duluth (Minn) Her.
aid, is being favorably mentioned all
over the state as an acceptable candi-s
date for United States senator. To w.,
P. Lemmer;,of the Belgrade Tribune
goes the honor of starting the boom,
and it has since been taken up and
state press that it commences to look
as if Colonel Weiss will have to lay
down his pen and make the. run. II
he should do SO it is predicted by
many that he will stand splendid
chance of winning out.
Anton G. Weiss began his newspaper
career in the old fashioned way, as a
printer s devil in the officesof the Red
wood Gazette, Doubtless the deep
sympathy Of the Duluth Herald has
always shown. with the interests OF the,
Ec0uHtfy newspaper In The .o..txroy,yyth
of that early experience. Later on
Mr.. Weiss was called to st. Paul to
associate himself with the Pioneer
Press;a under' Fred DrisooAt ST., first
on the roads then as manager: Of the
important Minneapolis branch.
Next he was sent to Duluth to es-'
tablish a branch there, which he OPP

several years.. Then, the Duluth Her
aid failing into new and more ener-
getic hands, he was called to be It's
manager, and there has been no OPEN

PROFIT SHARING"
USUALLY DELUs|vE
Size of Bonus or Dividend Gen.
orally Brings Disappoint-
ment to Worker.

Generally union employing concerns
indulge in none of these professed
profit-sharing schemes. The en-
,ployes are organized. There is no
longer possibility of "deceiving."
They were not deceived before they
were organized. But they received
their "dividends' and bonuses, all of
which, together with their direct
wage, aggregated a considerable per
cent less than their union scale that
they are enjoying today.
Generally profit: sharing schemes
are supported upon the assumption
that secreted behind a mystic veil ex-
lists an enchantment-a sort of Santa
Claus enchantment--from which will
possibly come yet unmeasured bene-
tit In which the good employees may
participate and their goodness is
measurable by term Of loyal service,
with t4re'gelden egg just out Of reach,
awaiting the appointed time. Like
most anticipations, it proves far more
palliative and gratifying than the real
participation. In other words, disap-
pointment comes with the ultimate
counting up, when it is discovered
that the bonus or so called dividend
the allotted share Of profit'-to-
gether with the direct wage that has
been regularly received, aggregates a,
d1stressingly small wage rate, deficient
to the tune Of added profit to the en-
ploying company.

wage inspiring discomfort. They, want

the desired amount. The company

The so-called profit sharing schemes
have method behind them. There is
no such thing as profit sharing in the

Profit Is for investment-the stock

That's what the investor is in business

matter whether by piecemeal, part in
