HOG BRISTLES FOR BRUSHES
SCARCE. SAY PAINTERS
Plea Made in Convention for Arbi-
tration in Labor Disputes.

tration in Labor Disputes.
Members of the Master House Painters
and Decorators Association. in conven-
tion at the Adelphia Hotel, discussed to-
day the possibility OF inducing the Rus
slams and the Prussians TO stop killing
all the hogs they can lay their hands on
so that few bristles may have a chance
to grow and the paint-brush industry be
saved.
The prosperity of the painting trade, 1t
was said, was menaced because good
brushes are as essential as good paint.
The convention opened yesterday. Frank
Stulen. of Pittsburgh. and several other
speakers pleaded for the organization of
employers and the arbitration of labor
disputes. Labor unions, Mr.. Stulen said,
had come into industrial life to stay. He
urged employers to organize and meet
their employees IN reasonable grounds. Il.
j. Cattell. city statistician, made the adj
dress of welcome.

 Such a Little Thing And So Big.
 Gretchen has a telephone and so has her mother. Yet sometimes two or three days will pass witaout Gretchen's calling her mother up and when the latter takes the initiative Gretchen is sometimes too busy to talk.
 'If they'd only tell me where they're going,'' heard another mother say of her grown sons and daughters. Its not that I'm curi- ous, but when they all go out and leave me alone in the evening, it would be so much more interesting if I knew what they were all doing"

How She Hurt Her Mother

"I saw Gretchen at her table at of my neighbors to another, speaking of the latter's married daughter.
 I saw Gretchen's mother look up quickly and then compose herself with an evident effort.
 Did you?" she said quietly enough, but there was a pink flush on her cheeks.
 Yes" said the first woman. You know she made fudge at the candy table. She had on that rose color dress and the cutest apron. She told me they had made twenty-five dol lars already and hoped to make fifty. Do you know if they did?''

 Why, no, I don't think she told me just what they finally made" said Gretchen's mother, and then grace fully but quickly changed the subject.
 A casual observer might have thought she was strangely un- interested in her daughters activi- ties He would have been wrong.
 The pathos of the thing is that she is so deeply interested. The start, the flush and the quick change of subject meant just one thing-that her neighbor was giving her news of her daughters doings that the daughter had failed to give. and that she could not bear that her neigh bor should know that or guess how hurt she was
