Have A Right To Picket.

Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 13.-
Magistrate Dolan has ruled that
strikers have the right to picket
and has dismissed several girls and
men employees of the Riegel Sack
company. There are about 200
girls among the strikers, who have
formed union and are being as
sisted by A. F. of L. organizers.
The workers grievances include a
system OF fines, speeding up" wage
reductions, and other poor working
conditions. Jersey City trade un-
ionists have joined the strikers in
protests against ofhcious police
methods which has resulted In nu-
merous arrests. The decision of
Magistrate Dolan will tend to check

school should be established. The
business man Is often helpless in
the matter of promoting commu-
nifty welfare. Does he know the
conditions and needs of the sur

whether cooperative creamery
would make his farmer friends

how much profit county agent or
county experiment farm would add
to his county3
Does he know how to orgarize
to secure his countv's share of the
money Il at Uncle Sam will give to

Has the business man ever called
farmers into conference on matters
that concern both the town and
surrounding country? Did the bu.

ganizing campaign in anthracite
district No. l and is now engaged
in two weeks appeal to the min
ers of dictrict No 8. to join the un-

sented to the operators at the wage
conference next spring.
During the district No. | cam
pAign, lasting three weeks. Presi
dent White made 35 ADDRESSES and
was listened to by approximately
1875, 900 people. In many localities
stores were closed and the occasion
made general holiday.
The miners executive contin-
ually dwells on the necessity for
organization, and in one of his
closing speeches in district Ne. /,
said:
Annually, hundreds of your
fellow workers succumb TO the dan
gers of the mine, and thousands
die premature deaths from disease
by reason of the lily ventilated con
dition of the mines. No class of
people are engaged in more haz-
ardous occupation than you are.

Oppose Convict Lease System.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. ID
A legislative committee has report
ed favorably bill providing for
the abolition of the Alambra con-
vict lease system, to take effect
January 1. 1917. During the hear
ings on the bill, startling testimony
was offered to show the brutality
of this system. Milton Fies. coal
operator, formerely superintendent
at the Banner mines, testified that
more than half of the convicts went
to work between 5 and 6 O'Clock
and did not finish until 9 at night.
Unless the task was completed the
convict was whipped. A strap
used for this purpose was exhibited
The witness cited an instance where
a foreman knocked down a convict
with a wrench and then shot at
him. Mr.. Fies said he had seen
convicts go into the mines with no
sh pes, and that clothes were rarely
washed. He said the average con-
vict could only perform the daily
mining task about one year and
that the average life of a convict
was seven years.

Brutality Of Long Hours.

Cheyenne, Wyo Aug. ia
restaurant keeper in this city has
attacked the validity of the wom-
ems 56-hour law, passed by the last
legislature. In defending the law
the State Leades says:
"The man or woman who is COM
pelled to work excessive long hours
Is brutalized aud incapable of en-
joying any except the coarsest and
most degrading pleasures, while
the workers who have not exhaus-
ted all vitality and energy by over
exertion instinctively makes bet
ter use of leisure time, ano looks
to pleasures and amusements that
are on higher plane and have a
tendency to still further elevate
them long the moral scale,
Wherever shorter working hours
have been introduced license is re-
placed by ambition for self i'm
provement and this ambition reacts
on the entire organism Of the work
er most favorably, inclining him
to be and become a better citizen,
and therefore raises the standard
of the community as we'll as of the
individual.
"Shcrter hours of labor fer both
men and women is the only protec-
tion society can possibly have
against the brutalizing and devital-
izing of humanity; and, no matter
what the occupation may be, long
working hours are menace to the
health of the individual and there
fere a menace to society. The
lightest work becomes most ex-
hausting when carried on for an
excessive length of time.

The overwhelming success of
Cincinnati's first Municipal Pure
Food Exposition at Chester Park
during the past week has decided
the executive committee to continue
it for a second week. This was
done both on the request of many
of the exhibitors and the demand
of the public 1t is estimated that
If TIE weather conditions is favor
able, more than $50, 900 people will
have seen the show before it is over.
The big program of special events
held day by day, served to bring
out large numbers of people, fre-
quently entire organizations, TO
participate in what is declared to
be the creates exposition held In
Cincinnati within the last ten
years. The same array of exhibi-
tors with one or two exceptions,
will be seen at Chester during the
coming week.
The bathing beach and the dance
hall, always popular, are prepared
