the region tributary to the headwaters

Turkey For MaChinists, None
For MOIdeTs.

One of the funniest stunts that
has been pulled off lately was the
presenting of turkeys to the ma
chinists employed in the Hooven-
Owen & Reutschler plant last Wed
nesday. Large turkeys it is said
were presented TO the men working
In the machine shop and who have
stood SO faithfully by the company
In the recent strike Who could
have ever guessed that these men
were going to receive part of their
thank sgiviDg dinner for the noble
deeds they are doing? 1t was very
kind ir the company to remember
their trusty descipl,s in this way,
and perhaps they will be we'll re-
warded. What makes the acci-
dent as funny is that the molders
wee so sadly neglected, why didn't t
they get q turkey also? Are they
not a part of the concern and
haven't they worked faithfully for
the company also? Yes they have
worked faithfully for the company
but these fellows are not scabbing
on the machinists they are not try
ing to break the strike and they
are more than anxious to see the
striking machinist win. That's he
reason they received no turkey, the
Ice cold nit is good enough for the
molders. We are told that when
the turkeys were carted away they
bowed their heads in shame, little
did they think that the man who
gave them corn and water for so
long, would be SO cruel as to send
them to a place where a strike ex
lists. Yet that disgrace would not
be SO bad, but to think of the
horror of being devoured by men
who have not the courage to refuse
to take another man S job was more
than the defenseless turkey could
stand They wept in sorrow and
as they disappeared in the shadows
of the night they were heard Il
say, Turkeys fer the machinists,
none for the molders."

Sending a Man to Coventry.

The expression sending to Coven-
try" had military origin. 1t arose, SO
1t is said, in the days of Charles l.,
when the inhabitants of Coventry
strongly objected to any intercourse
with the military quartered in their
town. and woman known to speak to
man in a scarlet cloak was at once
the subject of scandal. So rigid were
the natives that the soldier was con-
fined to the mess room for conyersa-
ton. Thus the term sending a man to
Coventry" IL you wished to shut him
from society took root in the English
language Chronicle.

WORLD or LABOR

Trade unionists in Omaha have
launched a laoor forward move
ment and are seeking international
organizations to send representa-
tives to aid in the work.
Long hours, small pay and a re-
duction in wages during slack peri
DDS were gwen as causes for the
strike at the Whitcomb Blaisdell
plant of Worcester, Mass, by some
of the employers at public hear
ing conducted by the State Board
of Cancellation and Arbitration.
The strike of several hundred
sheet metal workers of Whining
ton, Del, has been declared off by
those workers, who announce that
satisfactory agreement has been
reached with the Du Pont Compa-
ny. The strikers demanded an s.
hour day and wage increases.
Over four hundred uphoIsterers
of Philadelphia are benefited by the
decision of several manufacturers
that they will pay wage increases
demanded by the Upholsterers' I'm
ion. These workers have been
conducting an organizing campaign
and have strengthened their un-
ion as a result.
In statement explaining why it
has decided tc establish the eight
hour day for its $500 employees,
the Victor Taking Machine COM
pany of Camden, N. j., states that
while losing S1,000,O00 the first
year, certain adjustments and i'm
provements will gradually restore
profits to normal in about three
years.
The social service committee of
Philadelphia church reports that
there are thirty miles of streets in
that city without sewers and that
600 houses are deprived of un-
derdrainage on account of lack
of sewers 1t is estimated that
55, 600 persons are directly affected
by this condition and that the
health of $4,000 others in the i'm
mediate neighborhoods of these un-
drained sections is imperiled.
Grocery and provision houses of
Worcester, Mass, have rejected
the request of their clerks for a
Wednesday half holiday and at a
mss meeting of these workers it
was voted to continue the agitation
Speakers pointed out that they
were closer to the housewife than
the Storekeeper, and if each clerk
did his part sentiment could be
quickly created that no grocer
would dare resist.
President McGregor of the I'm
ion Twist Drill Company at Athol,
Mass, has notified the public that
I'VE have always watched out for
the interest of our employees" " and
that the company will continue to
conduct its business without deal
ing with labor unions or shop COM
mittees sr their delegates" /" About
4U0 workers are on strike at this
place for an eight hour day, time
and one-half for overtime and
double time for Sundays and holi
. days.
