Clayton Act Unwarranted.

the presence OF the National Associa-

the right thing in the wrong place. The
attack that he made upon the Clayton
act regulating the use of injunctions
and upon the trade commission act, by
which conspiracies in restraint of trade
are to be investigated and discouraged
was unwarranted at any time or place,

EMBLEM OF JUSTICE.
What the Union Label Means When
Affixed to a Piece of Merchandise.

What the Union Label Means When
Affixed to Piece of Merchandise.
A clergyman at Baltimore paid the
following tribute to the union label
What can be more sacred, more holy
or more deserving of the reverence of
men or Of the angels than the union
label, which signifies that human life
has been more highly valued in the
production Of human commodities than
the mere profits sought for by greed?
The label is an emblem Of justice of
fraternity of humanity
when you find label on a garment
or box of cigars, or loaf Of bread, or
piece Of printing, you can be sure
that neither was made in sweatshop,
that no little children's fingers were
compelled TO sew, or to sort the tobac-
CO in the hours of night, intended for
childish sleep. When you see this
label on any commodity, you can buy
it with clear conscience, knowing
that In doing SO you are not becoming
partner in an institution that de-
grades humanity to private profit.
you can sleep soundly and not be
worried with thoughts Of typhus fever
or smallpox, or leprosy, which are often
scattered broadcast from Chinese
opium joints penltentiary convicts
cells and tenement sweatshops, where
the most degraded specimens Of hui
manity put their life's blood into mar
ketable goods from which the poor
unsuspecting public suffers all man
ner Of foul and loathsome disease.
'The union label is a religious en-
blem. 1t is a religious act to buy the
goods to which this label Is attached
an act blessed on earth and honored
in heaven; while 1t is a sin to buy a
cigar a piece of clothing a pair of
shoes or q loaf Of bread without this
label, for then you do not know but
you are building up the business of
some heartless tyrant who is extracting
fortune from the drudgery and de-
graduation Of his fellows at the risk of
public health God bless the label!
"And hope that all of you who leave
this house tonight viii carry away.
indelibly impressed upon your minds
the picture Of the union label surround
ed by angels, and that you will always
know that the favorite banner In
heaven represents justice to labor
fresh air and sunshine and healthful
conditions to those who toll, and the
truth that human life is Of gold"

WALKING FOR SPEED.
Arm Action, Body Balance and the
Proper Leg and Foot Motion.


Proper Leg and Foot Motion.
In starting on the track the novice
should hold himself as erect as possi-
BILE, without, however leaning at all
backward, the arms at the sides, with
the forearms in a horizontal position,
at right angles to the part of the arms
above the elbows. He should have a
feeling Of being well balanced on his
pins"
The weight must be kept on the heels
therein lies the chief secret of walk
ing fairly. Speed depends on two fac
tors, the length and the frequency OF
the stride. Experiments prove that the
length of the stride becomes greater as
the frequency increases.
Arm action should be carefully cul-
tivated. Properly used, the arms seem
to act as levers to lift forward the body,
besides helping to balance 1t. In each
stride one foot should be always on the
ground and at same moment of the
stride some part Of both feet should be
on the ground simultaneously is,
the first necessity. Second in impor-
tance is to have the walk heel and
toe"-that is, the heel OF each foot
should strike the ground Enthusiastically
first and the toe of each foot should
be the last part to leave it. One should
not walk fat footed, with the ball of
the foot or any part except the heel
striking the ground before the heel
does. Lastly. the knee should be
locked" at the end of each stride-the
grounded leg should be stiff and taut
as the loose leg swings out for the next
stride.-Outing.

PERIL OF LEAD WORKERS.
Percentage of Poisoning Vastly Great
er Here Than In England.

err Fere nan IN England.
The fourth number Of its series on
industrial accidents and hygiene issued
by the bureau of labor statistics deals
with lead poisoning in the smelling
and refining OF lead This industry
employs in twenty plants visited by aa
investigator about 1900 men all OF
whom are exposed to the fumes or
dust Of lead. The report considers the
dangers inherent in the metalurgic
processes, the precautions to lessen
these dangers, the sanitary conditions
in the plants, the extent of lead poi
soning during the year 1913 among
these $500 men ana the medical care
furnished them
OF late years there has been a notable
improvement in smelling and refining
plants, due largely to the concentration
of operations in a few large establish
ments and the consequent abandon
ment Of old. crowded buildings There
is now probably no plant in the United
States in which some effort is not
made to lessen the danger Of lead poi
soning as well as to prevent accidents
These efforts, however, are perfume
tory in some. and in none are they suf-
ficient, according to the investigator
There is no plant in which no fumes
are allowed to escape. not one which is
as free from dust as it might be. The
result of this neglect is found in the
records Of lead poisoning among the
men. While Great Britain had a rate
of 1S per cent men employed in a
single year in this industry, the rate in
this country is over % per cent.

LABOR PROGRESS.

The way to complete organiza-
ton is difficult, but progress is
being made. Every year shows
distinct gain in the total
strength OF the labor movement.
Every union label Is an organ
izing factor. 1t represents so
many more wage earners band

improve their condition through

When compared to the loss Of life
and the accidents due to the lack of
safety i'll the various American indus
tries war seems less terrible. Each
year $4,000 workers are killed and 200,-
900 injured. Besides this, there are
100000 cases of occupational diseases
each year. When it is known that al
least half Of this waste Of life and
time could be avoided the idea Of max
ing our factories and our railroads
"safe" seems very important. a small
city full of people killed each year be-
cause somebody blundered" a vast
city full Of sick because of improper
shop conditions-as a nation can we
afford to continue 1t?

Object to Nonuninn shon.

The Plasterers' union of Toronto OBJ
jects to the nonunion shop, which en-
ployers term open" shop, and a strike
is the result The workers are willing
to accept old conditions, but this is IN
satisfactory to the bosses, who are
limiting that lower rates should be the
rule during the war The plasterers
are agreed this reduction could be en-
forced quite easily IL they would agree
to work under nonunion shop condi-
tons.

Truth Of the Matter.

The member of a union who buys
goods without the union label is a
greater enemy of organized labor than
is the employer who hires nonunion-
lists Such an employer is at least
honest with himself, while such
unionist is crook trying to fool him
self and his fellows. If a man is not
intelligent enough to understand this,
then what led him into the union? 1t
certainly was not his intelligence.
