easily with such an appliance or with a
small stove.
When Mrs Carroll started preparation
for broIling the bluehsh yesterday after
noon. she said that the best utensil, espe-
cially IL the FISH Is large. Is the broillng
pan from the range. This. she said, gave
plenty of room for the broiling and in
sured that the FISH would be sufficiently
spread out to catch the heat properly.
She put butter on the top of the fish
with a small pan, remarking that she
did not use a brush for spreading owing
10 the fact that the brush is hard to keep
In a perfectly sanitary condition.

Of few days ago, that the air in the
oven OF gas range is constantly cir

After the bluehsh had been placed In
the oven she told her audience that fish
does not need the intense heat needed for

had been scared white she turned down

indianapolis. United Mine Work
ers' Journal calls attention to the evi-
dence of the Inspector of mines of Colo
RADIO that the courts of that state were
practically closed to complaints OF viola
tions of the mining laws.
The editor makes these observations ;
"Organization of the miners is the
only way through which such loss OF
life can be lessened Through their or
ganization the men who have to face
these dangers could voice their collec-
tive demands for observance of the laws,
and for the we'll known safeguards
against accidents. Domination of the
courts would be eliminated by organ
lied men, free to express themselves
through their ballots. Thus violations
of the law would be made more costly
than the observance thereof Safety tor
the men would become more profitable
for the company than accidents. lmper-
sonal ownership of the industries has
made organization of the workers i'm
perative Without organization they can
not survive"

SAYS LAWSON VERDICT
is NATIONAL CRIME

Sacramento, Calf young Rookie
feller were put upon trial for crime in
Colorado, what would the world think
of the gubernatorial appointment to the
bench, as judge to try his case, of the
leading counsel for the United Mine
Workers of America?' asks the Sacra-
mento Bee.
"Granby Hillyer, fresh from the serv
ice of the Rockefellers, was picked out
by gubernatoria appointment last
spring to sit in judgment over a man
whom his employers were prosecuting
the people had no choice therein.
"A verdict obtained under such cir
cumstances should not be permitted to
remain.
IF John r. Lawson be guilty of the
crime charged against him he should be
punished-and hanging would not be too
severe sentence.
But it would be a crime against JUS
tice and stain upon this Nation if he
were to be forced to take life sentence
in Jail at the hands OF CRANKY Hillyer
whether one man more or less goe
to Jail is of very little consequence il
comparison with the question whether
the scales of Justice are to be thu:
weighed in advance against defendant
For, if this thing can be done against
John r. Lawson, it can be done against
anv man..

Sickness Insurance Asked
For All Industrial Workers

Columbus.-Sickness insurance for all
industrial workers is advocated in the
latest monthly bulletin OF the Ohio State
Board of Health. Such insurance. to be
under the supervision of the State,
would be a logical sequel to workmen's
compensation insurance, which the State
now conducts for the benefit OF victims
of industrial accidents.
The success of State compensation in
case of accidents in Ohio and other
States. the bulletin says, is at least part
proof that the second phase OF insur-
ance by the State could be well and Sue
cessfully developed" l."
The plan for sickness insurance, how
ever would be somewhat differently
carried out as compared with the COM
pensation scheme, according to the State
Health Boards view For, whereas in
compensation for accidents, the EN-
ployer bears the brunt of nearly all the
burden, in the sickness insurance plan
the cost would be borne by the State
the employer and the employe. The ulti.
mate result would be to reduce sicknes:

FIGHT CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM

Montgomery, Ala.-Will dollars or
humanity triumph in the fight now being
waged in the legislature to abolish the
convict lease system in this state?
Those who favor making money out
of the bone and sinew of human beings
say this system means an annual profit
of 100000, and its abandonment means
a state loss of 100000. Legislators who
oppose the system are quoting the tes-
timony of coal operators that working
convict labor is losing business propo-
sition. These operators. however, be-
lieve the state should continue the lease
system
Friends of the convicts declare that
Alabama is near the bottom of the lad
der in its treatment of those unfortun-
ates, and that convicts should be taken
out of the hands of private lesses and
eXploiters and placed on the roads.

JOBS FOR OHIO MINERS
Open In Kentucky and West Nir-
pinia-153 Sent to Cleveland.

Columbus.-While miners special
was carving 153 miners to new employ
ment in Cleveland Thursday, word came
to to- the Adjrtant Generals Department
that work for one hundred additional
miners was available in the West Viir,,
pinia coal fields and that twenty could
be given jobs in Kentucky mines,
State officials Immediately will ar
range for special trains to carry the un-
employed men to these places. Coal op-
orators associations OF the two States
made the applications.
Mining Commissioner John NJ. Roam,
in charge of the miners special, said
nearly 1000 miners had tried to board
the train at Glouster, in eagerness to get
to work. Sleeping accommodations will
be found in the National Guard Armory
at Cleveland he said.

force japanese tastes upon these tropical
countries. The deliveries were prompt,
the packing was excellent, and the con-
signees appeared satisfied.
Not so the children. Used to the
strong and well built Dutch toys with
their durable colors, they were dssat-
ished with the tlimsy and inferior pro-
duct of Japan. The toys to which they
were accustomed had been carved out
of solid wood; these later playthings
were made of a slip of bamboo and
glued. The colors came off when they
were clicked" and an hours play with
the top in tropical sun caused all its
hues to fade. The tastes of the chill
dren had not been consulted, and as they
were the ultimate consumers, great pow
er lay in their hands. The wreckage
of the Japanese toy in the hands of the
children was the signal for the down
fall of Japanese trade extension.
Only Other Competitor.
Merchants of the Indies turned their
eyes to the only other competitor on the
Pacihc-the United States. Having no
traditions, American manufacturers were
ready to study the demands of the buy
ers. Although they were not able to
make the goods as cheaply as the Jap
anese owing to the higher price of la
bor the better workmanship of the toys
more than made up for the difference in
price The Japanese trade which had
grown extensively, shriveled, while the
small beginnings of American manufac-
turers have increased enormously. A
new market has opened before the Amer
ican toy industry and appears to rest
upon a solid basis

itself. and therefore, minimize the en-
tire burden the bulletin opines.
1t says: An immediate effect is to
promote at once all measures which tend
to keep down the causes for which in
surance has to be spent. We see the
first fruits of the system in the safety
first propaganda which we have with us
today. In like manner we would see an
immediate, sudden expansion OF all
measures tending to prevent sickness
and deaths from or social insurance COW
ering sickness be generally adopted. An
incident in this development. probably,
would be the ready control OF occupa-
tional diseases. for, being but one part
OF the diseases to be compensated for
they probably early would receive an i'm
petus OF attention from each OF the three
clements who must pay the premium for
the insurance-the State, the employer
and the employe. Sickness insurance
means the injection of the dollar more
vitality than ever into the question OF
the prevention of disease, and on this
account we should expect great things
to come OF it.
