MosIar's Swept In Indus
trial Unrest,

What appeared to be genuine
strike occurred at the plant of the
Mosler Safe Company last Msnday.
Between FIVE and six hundred men
employed in all branches of the big
safe company walked out in the
evening held an enthusiastic meet
ing in Goetker's hall, corner Grand
Boulevard and East Avenue.
There are several reasons given by
the men as TO the cause of the strike
While the men are not organized
yet they felt that in order to get
time and one half for overtime it
was necessary for them to strike.
1t has been known for several
weeks that trouble of an industrial
nature has been brewing in the
Mosler plant and on numerous oc.
casions committees have held con-
ferences with Bartels, superintend-
ent of the concern and also the head
officials of the company. 1t is said
that an agreement was finally
reached with the men and they
were satisfied until several of the
men worked Saturday afternoon.
This involved the question as to the
time and one half for over time and
which caused the strike. New
price lists for piece work were also
given the men and 1t is said that
this also was not satisfactory to the
men.
The demands of the men were
considered by the company Tues
day and they returned to work
Wednesday morning.

WHY A UNION MAN ;?

A workingman of any kind who
earns his livelihood by the sweat
of his brow has not done his duty
TO himself, his fellow workmen, or
to those depending upon him, until
he has joined the union of his cal
ling and become one of those who
strive for the uplift of the masses.
As far as this world is concerned
there has been nothing, ne move
ment, reform or otherwise that has
brought the happiness to the home
as has the trade union movement.
1t has educated the workingman'
children, II has made the life of the
wife and mother cheerful, and es-
tablished an air of independence In
tina home that would not and could
not exist were it not for organiza-
ton. A workingman today who
does not belong to the union would
be as helpless as sea of monsters
were II not for the men around him
who do belong to the unien. A
-unisn man Is a CRATER on the
trade unien movement, because he
derives benefits fer which he does
not render an equivalent, and In
many cases Is justNas bad as the de-
spised scab.
There are many reasons why men
refuse TO join the unions, but the
most prominent is their inborn ma
ture of being dependent on the boss
In the hope of securing forman-
snip over a lot of men, so that he
can get big salary In proportion
to his ability in lowering the wages
of the fellows under him in other
words, accepting premium for be-
traying those whom he should de-
fend.
A man who jeins the union does
SO with noble purpose, and the
longer he Is In it the more he sees
of Its advantages. He does not
look FIR any advantages of favor
tism ever his fellow worker. All
he asks Is squire deal and an oc-
casional raise In wages in proper
tion to the raise In the price of the
goodies. He Is invariably proud
of his calling, and feels that every |
penny he receives 10 honestly
earned and In many cases more than
earned, but he will net be satisfied
until that time arrives when the
wsrkingman shall receive the full
product of his labor. The union
of states Is good idea, but the un.

And when the history OF these days
comes to be written. and the children Of
tomorrow read their nations story.
when time shall have dispelled all mis-
conception. and the years shall have
rendered their impartial verdict one
name will shine in golden splendor upon
the page that Is blackened with the tale
Of Europe's war; one name will repre-
sent the triumph of American principles
over the hosts OF darkness and OF death.
That name will be the name of the
great President who has made Democ.
racy proud that he Is a Democrat. and
made Americans proud that he is an
American.
ut will be the name OF the states
man who has kept his country true to
its faith in a time that tried mems
souls: the name of the student and the
scholar who has championed the cause
of American freedom wherever he found
II oppressed: the name of the patriot
who has implanted his country's nag on
the highest peak to which humanity has
yet aspired; the name that carried the
torch OF progress to victory once and
will carry It to victory again. the name
of Woodrow Wilson. President and

CONFINED ALL WINTER

To be a sufferer from stomach trouble

and then to be benefited almost over
night Is like a happy dream come true.
This has been the pleasant experience
Of Mrs. z. Quick. who resides just out
Of Schenectady, N. Y, on Rural Route
No. (. All winter she had been con-
fined to her home. and last week. for
the first time. she was able to be out.
She thanks Tanlac for her wonderful
cure. In speaking Of her trouble, she
said:
II suffered all winter from indiges-
ton and stomach trouble. which was
a real case Of gastric catarrh OF the
stomach. At times It effected me so
badly that I thought would die. Pains
used to get me in the stomach and
seemed to 60 through my whole sys-
tenn. lost my strength and couldn't
leave the house all winter.
II tried several medicines. but got
no results. My daughter finally insisted
on my trying Tanlac. and as soon as 1
began to take II. I noticed an improve
ment. My pains disappeared and my
stomach Is in GOOD condition now, and
I feel very good. and I have only taken

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair


II you want to keep. your hair in good
condition. be careful What you wash
Il with. -.i.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and is
very harmful. Just plain muisified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely
greaseless), Is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hnir with water
and rub It in. One or two teaspoonruls
will make an abundance OF rich. creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The %iather frinses out
easily. and removes every particle of

Republican Party
Opposes Hamilton Idea

by opposing what we stand for to-
day. the Republican party opposes
what Hamilton stood for a century
ago. The founder Of the Republican
party and the founder Of the Demo-
cratic party. placing their country's
happiness above every other consider
alton. forgot partisanship and made
American neutrality a national creed.
We who follow jefferson stand where
Jefferson stood. but we look In vain
for a sign from the present leaders OF
the Republican party to show that they
follow where Hamilton led. Where
Hamilton counseled moderation they
denounce II. Where Hamilton thought
only of country they think only OF
self. Where Hamilton placed patriot
ism above. craftsmanship they place
partisanship above patriotism. How
then do they. dare to speak Tor the
great BODY of American citizens who
form the rank and file of the Republi-
can party? Do these leaders believe
that their Republicanisn Is n better
Rcpublicanism than Hamilton's. their
Americaniem purer Americantsm
than that of Washington?

was right, II Hamilton was right. II

For these reasons this Administra-
ton has done more for our army and

More than this. II has mobiiized the

Declares Neutrality
Policy Justified

The Justification of our policy OF neu-
trality is expressed by Mr.. Glynn In
these words
Before this declaration every war
was a world war; since this declaration
nearly every war has been local war.
Before this declaration war was q
whirlpool, ever-inoreasing in area and
In it's whirl dragging down the nations
of the earth; since this declaration war
has become sea OF trouble upon which
nations embark only from self-will. from
self-interest, or the necessity OF geo
graphical position, OF financial obliga-
ton or political alliance. .
Neutrality Is the policy which has
kept us at peace while Europe has been
driving the nails of war through the
hands and feet OF a crucifed humanity.
1.-THE praises of this policy are not
written in the ruins Of American homes.
not in the wreck Of American Industries.
not In the mourning Of American fami-
lies: they are found In the myriad EVIL
dences OF prosperity and plenty that
make this contented land. From every
whiriing spindle in America, from every
factory wheel that turns. from every
growing thing that breathes It's prayer
OF plenty to the skies, from every quiet
school. from every crowded mart, from
every peaceful home goes up a song of
rraise. paean of thanksgiving to
hymn a nations tribute. to the states
manship that has brought these thinBs
