hour an appeal from Representative
Frank Buchanan, Seventh Illinois dis
trict, that the building trades be en-
listed In nation wide movement to In
fuence the course of the White House
administration against any possibility
of war with Germany the leaders fatty

STRONG UNIONS URGED.
Organized Labor Should Strive ts

Organized Labor Should Strive to
Build UP Power.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, In an
address before the delegates to the
international Fur Workers union, in
fecent session at New York city, said
IN part:
Its all right to tell us about the
streets of gold and the beautiful things
la the sweet by and by, but we want
some of those things in the bitter now
and now
The speaker exhorted the members to
stand by and to improve their union,
not only In time of industrial strife, but
continually
Il have seen unions OF fur workers
and other unions come and CO." be
said. What would you think of an
army unprepared to meet the on
slaught Of It's enemies? An army dis
membered and Mt the mercy OF pow
erful foe is comparable to the plight In
which | have seen unions that were
not properly organized In addition to
enthusiasm you must have system
Of self imposed discipline to lend
strength to your organized efforts Be
prepared to present solid phalanx to
forces opposing you. Yours is an or
ganization not for year. or a decade,
or century. but for all time. And the
struggles Of labor in our time will be
even more important to the historian Of
the future than the great barbaric
struggle now CONFUSING Europe.
The labor leader spoke Of the fact
that his education was not ii result of
college training but than lie worked for
twenty-six years at the d ncA
II am not a professor, studying the
conditions of labor as | might study
those of bug" he said with smile
Il am one of you, and the members of
my family are OF you. My father, son
and granddaughter are all members of
labor unions, and they are all earning
their liyings. That isn't so bad for four
generations of a proletariat family, is
ir?"
Mr.. Gompers declared his unswery-
ing loyalty to the United States.

T%HE average wage Garner in the
b United States loses nine days
n every year ON account of sick
ness, much of which is pre-
ventable.
The total annual loss in wages and
expenses for medical attention is $780,
100000.
These figures are the results of study
In new field of industrial economics
made by the public health service for
the federal commission on industrial
relations. Every city and every town
has It's health department that operates
principally TO prevent contagious and
infectious diseases and to lower the
death rate.
This latest scientific investigation
aims to get at the relation of good
health to work and the purely practical
benefits resulting from a man being
able to be on his job every day in good
physical condition. 1t means not only
more wages and less expense to him
but 1t has an important effect upon
his productive capacity for the benefit
of his employer.
The greater part of the heavy tax OF
Ill health falls upon those workers who
are least able TO afford it. Or. b. S
Warren, who made Investigation OF
records of nearly million workers
found sickness much more prevalent
among low paid workers than among
those whose incomes are sufficient tC
provide sanitary housing adequate
food and pleasant surroundings in the
home and the shop.
1t is not merely loss Of wages and
direct expense of medical attendance
that must be taken into consideration
from an economic standpoint. Impair
ment of the workers efficiency and the
burdens east upon his family by sick
ness cannot he computed in dollars and
cents.
From the many statistics interesting
deductions are drawn concerning In
dustrial conditions. One conclusion Is
that fully one-half of the wage earners
In this country do not receive incomes
sufficient to maintain healthful condi
tons of living.
Experience i'll treatment Of diseases
and the study of economic conditions
Of sick persons agree that poverty and
sickness 20 hand i'll hand, the report
says, and it is among those low paid
workers and their families that the
highest mortality rate is found to pre-
vail.
Sickness has been found to be one OF
the principal causes Of unemployment
and a large factor in recruiting the
army of destitute and dependent per
sons.
The cost TO industries of the country
resulting from i'll health of employees
cannot be estimated, the report asserts
nor is it possible to Indicate the ire
mendous cost to the nation

COUNSEL AND CLIENT.

A lawyers Right to Defend Prisoner
He Knows to Be Guilty.
Ought an advocate TO defend a pris-
oner whom he believes to be guilty !?
Mr.. Justice Darling in case in which
q solicitor was the plaintiff made some
observations on this familiar problem
which ought not to go unrecorded. He
protested. says the London Globe,
against the notion that d lawyer,
whether barrister or solicitor, was un-
der an obligation to cease to conduct a
case which he realizes to be bad.
IF an advocate in the course of
trial for murder comes to recognize
that his client is guilty is he" asked

cacy in open court. 1t was, however,
In considered judgment in the court
of exchequer chat Baron Bramwell
made his famous contribution to the
discussion
"a mans rights" said the baron,
"are to be determined by the court, not

"Justice is found eXperimentally to be
most effectually promoted by the oppo-
site efforts of practiced and ingenious
men presenting TO the selection of an
| impartial judge the best arguments
| for the establishment or explanation
of truth 1t becomes, then, under such
an arrangement the decided duty of
an advocate to use al the arguments
