PROVIDE WORK FOR LINGu1sTs.


 Berlin, May 1S.-To provide em- ployment for Germans possessing Knowledge of French and English, who fled to Germany at the outbreak of the war, the minister of education has empowered the authorities of higher schools and colleges to em- ploy them as instructors of languages without many of the usual formali- ties.
 Educated women similarly in need of employment can be taken into the middle and lower classes of boys schools, and Iaay receive permission to teach privately without theS usual credentials. Men will be required only to furnish evidence of suitable character, not of teaching ability In increasing. mum bers such men are taking the places of regular teachers called to the front as part of the .'landsturn.' The new rules apply until the end of the war.

 As soon as Tom opened his mouth Mayor Strong penetrated his disguise. The Mayors Messenger Heatherton sid1ed up to Tom and ventured: Do you speak English ?''

CHEAPER FOR TWO TO
 TRAVEL THAN ONE.

In the Woman's Home Companion appears the first of series of ar ticIes entitled, Made in America Va cations.' The plan is to describe minutely several trips which can be taken this summer. The descrfp- tions are to include facts about ex- penses, and so on The idea is that, with conditions in Europe as they are, travel in America will be greatly stimulated. The author says, that generally speaking, two persons can travel proportionate1y cheaper than one. Explaining this point he goes on:
 For instance. in European plan hotels, a, room occupied by two costs as a rule little, if any, more than when only occupied by one person; in American plan hotels two will in most eases be charged $7 a day, where the rate for one person occu- pying a room alone would be $4. On the sleeping cars a lower berth will hold two people fairly comfortably, and this cuts the cost of that import ant item in half. Quarters (which have to be distributed so frequently as tips) will reward the porter for two people as satisfactorily as for one. On dining cars, mostly a Ia carte nowadays, the portions are ample for two; the same may be said in general of restaurants, except where meals aI served at a nXed price per person. A carriage ride in city costs just as much for one as for two. There are innumerable other items where travellers may double up to advantage, so I think it is not an underestimate to figure that two persons travelling together, on such a tour as this, can probably cut individual costs from $25 to $40 below what the total would amount to for one person proceeding aloIle.'

REPORT OF BIGGS IS
VERY INTERESTING READING

Organizer d. G. Biggs of the Tailors
has sent to the international headquar-
ters of his organization the very inter
esting report on the Denver situation,
especially with reference to testimony
adduced before the State Industrial Com
mission. He says:
About the middle of this month all
parties concerned in the industrial dis
pute between the Journeymen Tailors
and the Merchant Tailors' Association
were summoned to the state house to
appear before the Industrial Commission
OF the state of Colorado for formal
hearing OF their case
.'The Merchant Tailors engaged the
services of an expert lawyer, Henry Co.
hen, and your representative conducted
our side of the case. A part of eight
days have been consumed and about for
ty witnesses examined. Notwithstand-
ing that, this is the first formal hear
ing' before this new law and new com.
mission-not a paper, save one, has even
mentioned the fact that there is a hear
ing. Nevertheless they all know the
hearing is going on, and that there is
sensational testimony given almost ev-
cry day. 1t looks like clamping on the
lid to suppress facts that might add
more stigma to poor old Colorado-Colo-

explained that he did not use wadding
in his coats. Then his employes testi-
fled that they had to buy wadding for
his coats, and one man said Tobin had
ordered him to put two-ply on one side
and four-ply on the other side all
through the breast.
"Mr Tobin denied that he had short.
ened up giving work to his old employees
since the bill was presented to him.
When he was asked about certain men
who had worked for him long time he
said they were not regular employees;
that they were just 'piece-outs" and
only worked when he had a special sale.
and finally told the commission that the
only regular employees he had was an
old man working in the little nest OF
balcony in his store and a hon-unioD
man who was not even a second class
tailor, and that he had employed this
third-class non-union man to go up and
down the little, narrow constructed
stairs of the balcony for the old man
who was a partial paralytic
MIR. Tobin has been talking for
months, saying he wanted to talk to his
own men, and would like to sign up with
his own men, and if he could Just get
together with his men he knew il would
be all right. Then he swore that the
only regular coatmaker he had was q
paralytic. So it must be that Tobin
wanted to sign up with him; and he said
that the union men would chase non.
union men out OF town. As all Tobin
had to be chased was n third ella ss man
| working on old rags it would seem as
though he had little cause for alarm
Nobody will be chased out of town. We
Will make conditions better for every.
body, even the non-unon man. If there
be any such by the time this work shall
have been completed.
Mr.. Tobin would like to pay the
scale submitted to Nicol the tailor The
men who work for that house have to
compete with the sweatshops of Chicago.
where Mr.. Healey, Nicors manager. said
most of their work was made Tobin
admitted that he sold suits as HIGH as
$45, and that he paid as low as $3.50 for
coats, the maker furnishing waddinp and
all servings.
"There is one thing that this secre.
tary of the Merchant Tailors' Exchange
testified to that nobody will dispute.
He said that ready made was better
than the stuff he turns out-that il had
more style, fit better-and that if lie,
Tobin, was not in the merchant tailor
ing business he would wear ready made
himself
We have a great mass of other stuff
OF like nature to lay before the readers
OF The Tailor and will send il in for
publication from time to time. and un-
less we are awarded the closed shop and
fair conditions all the suppressed matter
OF the hearing will be laid before Den.
yer, and we will ask the other forty-fiye
states - act as jurors. The taiIors OF

but sooner or later the lid will fly off.

Harvey Z. Garinan, Editor Bulletin:
My Dear Harvey: / am sending you
under separate cover number of vol
umes published by the Department of

something of interest among them. II
you do not care for them perhaps they
might be acceptable for the library OF

Building Trades Council. You will no.
tice among the lot volume giving a

You might find something there that
you would want, and, if available, l
should be pleased to get it for you.

because she has had labor troubles, but
because of her method of handling them.
and it has yet to be proven that this
new law and the commission may not
be as disastrous to the welfare of the
workers as has Colorado's other meth
ods OF treating labor troubles.
'.Andrew Schober, president of the
Merchant Tailors' Exchange, admitted on
the witness stand that he sells suits for
as much as $50, and that he pays $l.5o
for making of the trousers. He was
asked if he knew that those pants were
made in a single room where cooking,
eating, sleeping and a boarder was fed.
He said he did not know. He told the
commission that it cost him on an aver
age OF 10 per cent of the selling price
of a suit to alter it. That would be 81
on $40 suit. That was sworn testi-
mony. We know that it does not cost
Mr.. Schober anything to alter his suits.
His bushelman makes enough new work
and repairs enough old work to more
than pay his wages, and the alterations
OIL the new work is thrown in for good
measure.

Merchant Tailors' Association, admitted
