Father Of tho Mothers Pension syste'

Father of tho Mothers Pension System
Organized charity has found a way
to cripple the Mothers Pension Sys-
TEN.
In New York, Minnesota, Illinois
and nearly all other Mothers Pension
States, they have induced the Legis-
latures to prevent deserted mothers
getting pensions, on the plea that
pensions to such mothers would in
crease desertion.
Suppose this plea were true Does
society want to compel mother to
breed feeble-minded children to fill
our feeble-minded institutions which
are aires dy full, and have long wait
ing list?
Every taxpayer wonders and worries
over the amount of his taxes, but very
few taxpayers ever investigate what
is done with his tax money. If he did,
he would want more assertions and
fewer feeble4minded children.
The maternal instinct will prevent
1 mother breeding more children I'M

;ial AT the Seattle Convention OF

If the Lehigh Portland Cement Cont

I'd out and are still locked out. All
ne tactics that powerful corpora
ion can use to crush the spirit of the
workers were used against the locked
out employees at Mitchell, Indiana.
Riots were created wherein men lost
their lives. Sluggers and gunner en-
ployed to intimidate and broWbeat the
union members. Bribery, open bra
zen and vicious in the extreme was re-
sorted to and scores of our men jailed,
prosecuted and prosecuted, but the
spirit of unioniSm was so well imIbed-
ded in the minds and hearts of the I'M
ion men that they are just as de-
termined now as they. were at any
time in the past to assert themselves
and secure the right of association,
organization, collective bargaining and
some measure of justice at the hands
Of the employers.
Prior to the lockout, the Lehigh
Portland Cement plant at Mitchell,
indiana, was operated upon a twelve
aour day basis, with a large part of
the working force working seven days
per week The wages under these
conditions was one dollar and fifty
cents per day.
The Mitchell, Indiana, Tribune in
trying to induce new industries to To-
cate in Mitchell, held out this alluring
advantage:
ain Mitchell We Have the
Cheapest Labor This Side of
China"
Recently the Cement Mill Workers
started an agitation to induce fellow
trade unionists who use cement to
give preference to cement manufactur-
ers who are friendly to labor unions
and to refuse to use cement manufac-
tured by the enemies of organized la
Dor.
This agitation made the Lehfgh

Lanston Earnings.

1t is reported that the earnings of the
Lanston Monotype Company for the
current fiscal year, if maintained at the
present rate will be close to IL per
cent net.
Business in the United States has in
creased very greatly, although the for
eign situation is not encouraging. but
the directors believe conditions will
continue to improve at home, and that
the stated net percentage may be
counted on for the year.
AS the dividend rate is but per cent
and there is no bonded Indebtedness,
the earnings indicated, would allow for
liberal depreciation charges and a con-
tinuation of the present rate OF dis
bursement to the shareholders.

National Bank returned today from a

NEW YORK. December 6.-while
