Mary Cesar, employed at the Mer
chants Biscuit company as a packer, was
discharged last saturday, ostensibly be

Swineheart, but in reality for asserting

upon Superintendent j. f. Scott and
asked that she be rcinstated The re-
quest was refused. A conference was
held and as result forty girls refused

Chairman L. L. Mclaughlin of the
State Industrial Commission took up the
matter at once and advised the girls TO
return to work. pending decision of the
Commission on the wage scale and work

The Better Thing
BY Edgar A. Guest

It is better to lose with conscience
clean
Than to win by a trick unfair;
1t is better to fail and to know you've
been,
Whatever the prize was, square,
Than TO claim the Joy of a far-off goal
And the cheers OF the standers-by.
And to know deep down in your inmost
A cheat YOU must live and die.
Who wins by trick may take the prize.
And at first may think it sweet.
But many a day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat
For the man who lost shall be glad at
heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his conquerer knows he must pla p
the part
OF cheat and living lie.
The prize seems fair when the fight is on.
But save it is truly won
You will hate the thing when the crowds
are gone.
For it stands for false deed done.
And it is better YOU never should reach
your goal
Than ever success to buy.
At the price of knowing in your soul
That your glory is all lie
