ARBITRATION.

ARBITRATION. - The committee
representing the striking local street
car men spoke vital truth when they
told the officials of the traction COM
panies: Eve must be the judges of
what constitutes a fair proposition
concerning wages. We are the ones
to determine at what price we are
willing to sell our labor power" or
words to that effect.
Since the abolition of chattel slav-
cry the worker is free to say what
work he will do and under what con-
ditions he is willing to work. He owns
himself and has an absolute right to
dispose of his time and his labor pow
er as he sees fit. No one else, not
even those who represent govern
ment and law, has any right to COM
pei him to work and live under con-
ditions fixed and dictated by others,
whether those others be called fair"
arbitrators or anything else. And, for
this same reason, no individual or
group of individuals, however numer-
GUS, has any right, in law or else
where, to force the worker to arbi-
trate. To violate this principal of
freedom and self-ownership of the
worker is to return to chattel slavery,
in which one human being is owned
by another and forced to live and
work as the owner dictates.
Let those who say wages and work
ing conditions must be arbitrated
keep this simple fact in mind and they
will not hurl any threats at workers
who refuse to arbitrate Arbitration
must be free and voluntary or it is
no arbitration at all
Arbitration is an efficient and de-
sirable method of settling differences
between equals or parties standing
on a common ground. But there is
no equality between the capitalist of
today and the wage worker There
is no equality, economic, social or

alton and its employees. There can
be no equality between a sos, 0O0-a--
year manager and a conductor or
motorman working for % or rs cents
an hour. On one side is all the influ-
ence and power of millions of dollars
and on the other a group of men with
bare hands, having no other means Of,
livelihood than the sale of their la
Dor power.
There can be no fair arbitration of,
the differences and disputes between;
capitalist and laborer because the in
CAPABILITIES are too great. The only
thing that is fair in this case is
that which the worker has the cour-
age and the power to demand and Sc
cure. There can be no impartial and
fair arbitrators, no matter how they
are selected. They must either be,
wage workers or members of the:
privileged class, or men, who, be-
cause of their position and social
standing, are dependent on the eco
nomically privileged and powerful
classes. There are no others to Sc,
lect. And, if there were others, it:
would be very dangerous as well as,
undemocratic to give them power to-
determine the wages and working
conditions of thousands of men.
No such big issue should be placed
in the hands of any individual or
small group of individuals. The re-
sponsibility is too great and the pow
er and wealth on the side of the en-

In the darkness Jeanette waited. She
had heard her sisters receding foot
steps, the closing of door, then nothing
more. At last the sound of steps again
reached her, and she started up from the
chair to which she had CROPPED her way.
Alix was coming back! But the steps
came to halt, then retreated again.
Once more she waited, ears strained to
attention. She shivered with the cold
and with a dread she could not define.
Then suddenly it struck her that a change
had come over her surroundings. She
made out some garments hanging over
chair, and on rude dressing table the
outlines of some simple toilet articles.
Among these the CLINT of steel struck her
eye, and looking closer she saw that it was
the blade of knife, dirk with a rough
bone handle. She stared at it absently.
Suddenly she realized that day was
breaking. In alarm she started to her
feet Hours must have passed! What
could have happened?
Suddenly resolve tensed her nerves.
She would wait no longer. Noiselessly
she turned the key, and as she did so the
fingers of her free hand darted out and
grasped the knife from the dressing table.
The gray light of dawn filled the rooms
through which she passed in swift silence.
They were empty, and like flash came
the thought, Alix is gono!-Felix Renoir
has taken her away!
"AliX!' she called frantically, and dashed
|, headlong into the salon.
THE sight she met there froze her with
dumb horror. On the floor lay the
body of her sister, her face so gashed that
it bore no semblance to itself. A long
time she must have lain there; for the
blood from wound in the breast had
oozed out until it stained the whole bodice.
Frozen and mute, Jeanette remained,
how long she did not know. Then slowly,
without conscious thought or purpose her
right hand raised itself and slipped the
knife it held into the opening of her bodice.
Over chair hung the fur-trimmed coat
where she had thrown it on her return
Chat night She caught it up, put it on,
and without backward glance hurried
from the house.
AS she sped through the streets one
thought possessed her. She was going to
kill Renoir. He had done this thing,
and he must die for it.
"Look out! Look Quit"
The sharp English words pierced her
absorption. lnvoluntarily she turned her
head

"You are right" he said.

TAKES OFF DANDRuFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Reautifui-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at f1rst-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment s
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

HEALTH OFFICERS FOR PITT
Long Fight Ends in New Year Decis

Man.

Raleigh.-A telegram from Green.
vile to the State Board of Health an
nounced that Pitt county is the next
to have whole-time county health Of
flyer. The matter has been pending
before the commissioners of Pitt for
some time. 1t has been a county issue
brought to bear by the friends of good
health conditions and by the advocates
OF systematic health policy for the
county to have this step taken.
'The commissioners had the right
kind of new year spirit" says a
bulletin of the State Board of Health
in regard to this matter, when they
voted unanimously for a whole time
county health officer. This was the
termination of long and continuous
effort on the part of the county's wide
awake and progressive citizens in be-
half of their peoples better health and
welfare and the decision is a positive
one.
The next step in which the COM
missionaries will again make no mis-
take, will be to get the right man for
the Office. Health work is not the
peculiar fitness of every physician.
Neither is it a matter of experience
and training easily to be had. AS in
other similar professions, a special
ntness and efficiency is required. It
will not be Pitt county's policy to rush
unadv1sedly in filling the Office"
The State Board of Health plans
eventually to give to the county whole
time health officers such training and
such courses in sanitary education
that will insure the Standardization of
the public health work. A tentative
plan to this effect has been prepared
and looks to course of instruction
lasting six or seven weeks.

MOST SKIN-DlSEASES

Don't stand that itching skin humor

druggist and, for about 75c, get jar
of resinol ointment and cake of res

with resinol soap and hot water, dry
and apply a little resinol ointment.
It's almost too good to be true. The
torturing, itching and burning stop in

scratch, sleep becomes possible, and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
Obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
