VIOLENCE SUGGESTED
BY ANTI-UNIONISTS

Chattanooga, Tenn.-In an "Open
Letter to Employees" the Tennessee Cop
per company makes stealthy suggestion
OF violence against organizers of the
Western Federation of Miners who are
interesting the company's employees in
trade unionism
In four-page pamphlet, the company
makes this sly bid for strong arm"
methods:
we appreciate your feelings in the
matter and know that just at present
those of you who have offered to get
rid OF these organizers feel that nothing
is too bad for any one desiring to upset
such pleasant relations as have existed
for so manv years between the COM
pany and the men, but the same thing
can be accomplished by public sentiment,
and let's just make it SO unpopular that
this whole agitation will funk immed-
lately and that there will be no more
men forced into idleness by bunch of
exploiters that have desperate hope of
getting a slice of your hard earned
cash"
The Slice of hard earned cash" refer
red to IS 1917 cents an hour for common
labor. These wages are defended by
the company as follows:
1T wages were much higher there
would be such rush for this cornmln-
ity that you would lose your present
steady work and would be much worse
off than at present, and as the company
could not afford to pay it on the low
grade of ore in this district, it simply
means killing the goose that lays the
golden egg"
In an effort to arouse national ha-
treds among these low-wage employees,
who are urged to keep out of the union
on the ground that they would be much
worse off than at present" the company
charges that the Western Federation of
Miners is controlled by foreigners" and
then submits these questions, unworthy
of men claiming allegiance to American
principles:
"Do you want to have your life con-
trolled by vote of Dagoes, Polacks and
Finlanders. and pay for their support?
Would you like to have them for neigh
bors? Remember, if the camp were or
ganized you could not complain for they
would be your brothers, and do not
think for minute that they would not
come and live right among you.'

for pressers 10 per cent; for mould
workers, 90 per cent, and for kilnmen

mands for increases and adjustments
were settled by the joint session. Here
after disputed points will be submitted
to Joint arbitration boards instead of re-
sorting to extreme measures which
might unnecessarily embarrass the in
dustry. This action was agreed to be-
cause OF number of unauthorized
strikes recently.

SOCIAL INSURANCE FAVORED.

Richmond, Va-Wefare, or social
insurance was urged by Insurance Sup
erntendent Potts, of Illinois, before the
national convention of insurance COM
missioners. He cited government re-
ports to support his plea, and showed
that there occur annually in this coun-
try s2,520 deaths from industrial acci-
dents and 20S,00O nonfatal industrial ac-
cidents causing loss of more than seven
days time. The total number of non
fatal accidents, both industrial and nom
industrial in this country of like severity
was 6S7 ,000 in one year.
The ravages of sickness and disease
entail a loss of 2s4, 4,750,0OO days time to
workingmen, loss of wages of over
100000, besides the enormous ex-
pense for medical attention.
In this country, he continued, there
are approximately 33,500,000 workers OF
whom COS 900 die prematurely each year
during the working period of life. This
is, between the ages of Is and 65 By
these deaths, it is estimated, there are
over 100000 dependent families unpro-
vided for annually. In addition to all
these the workers are liable to suffer
from involuntary unemployment, espec-
tally in seasonal occupations.

COMPULSION FAVORED.

Baltimore.-The compulsory arbitra-

fresh nourishment by Judson c. Glenn

commission, in an address to the Grain

Mr.. Clements made no distinction be-
tween railroad company and its en-
ployes who are forced to accept onerous

are engaged in interstate commerce and
he favored law that would make a
legally established obligation and duty
upon every worker who seeks the serv-
ice of the railroad company, or combine
with others to do so, on account of any
controversy until commission could in
vestlgate the question in fair and inn
partial manner.
In plain language, this government Of
llcial would make it obligatory upon a
willing railroad company not to employ
a worker until he signed contract waiv-
ing his American right to quit work.
The railroads. Of course, would be per.
mltted to continue their policy of dis
charging men as fancy dictates.

MILK DRIVERS WIN STRIKE.

New York.-Striking milk wagon
drivers and the Borden Milk company
have settled differences regarding the
union shop. The company conceded the
wage demands but refused to recognize
the union This was overcome by an
agreement which provides that petitions
will be circulated among the Borden
drivers, and when more than 81 per cent
sign their names they will be handed to
the management who will then recognize
the union shop clause in the original de-
mand.
The company also agrees to reinstate
all strikers, who will be permitted to
wear their buttons.

BENEFITS U. S. EMPLOYEES.

Washington.-The decision of Comp
troller of the Treasury Warwick CON
STRUNG the provisions of the naval ap-
preparation bill grants to the per diem
employees of the navy yard the same an
nual leave of thirty days with pay which
is given to the per annum employees.
The new law does not, however, affect
sick leaves and the per annum employees
will therefore still be entitled to thirty
days sick leave, the per diem clerical
force to fifteen days sick leave, and the
laborers and mechanics to no sick leave
at all
Comptroller Warwick further ruled
that employees must be allowed the pro
rata leave with pay due them at the
time of their separation from the serv-
ice.

LEATHER WORKERS WIN.

Chicago.-Last summer employers of
organized trunk, bag and suit case max

to have any dealings with the union
committee. A strike followed and after
seven weeks the employers changed their
minds and signed an agreement with
Local IL, Travellers Goods and Leather
Novelty Workers International Union
of America.
Oihcers OF this union extend greetings
to their brothers in Philadelphia, now
on strike for better conditions, and ask
that unionists help these strikers to
standardize industry by removing this
unfair competition.

Shin Money,

Charles 1. was badly in need Of mon
ey, and his attorney general In the
course Of his antiquarian researches
discovered that in the dim ages Of the
past the crown had issued writs to the
cities and towns on the coast requiring
them to provide vessels for the royal
needs, and he suggested that this an
cient right might be brought into use
again. Instead of the actual vessels
money contribution might be exacted
instead. Thus the king would be able
to tax larger part OF the realm while
theoretically observing the laws. Writs
for ship money were accordingly is
sued, but the patriot John Hampden
declared that they were Illegal and
raised such a protest against them
that they were practically nulliied

Divorces In Ancient Rome.

In the earlier period of the Roman
republic divorces were quite unknown
and were rare right up to the time Of
the Sultan wars. In the old days the
husband and wife who wished to sep
arate appeared for the last time before
the common hearth, priest and priest
ess being present AS on the day Of
marriage, a cake Of wheaton flour was
presented to the husband and wife,
but instead Of sharing it between them
they rejected it Then instead Of
prayers they pronounced formulas Of a
strange, severe, spiteful character, by
which the wife renounced the worship
and gods of the husband From that
moment the religious bond was broken,
and, the community Of worship hav-
ing ceased to exist, the marriage with
out further ado was forever dissolved.

The Killed Evzone.

The Greek soldier may present to
some a highly humorous picture In his
ballet skirts and tunic. Despite his
peculiarities Of dress-which, by the
way, are scarcely more peculiar than
those of some other nations-he Is an
excellent fighting man.
The evzone. as he is called, would no
more abandon the skirt than would
Scot his kilt 1t is a part Of his ma
tional honor, a part Of his personal be-
ing. 1t is a right handed down to
him from ancient times. A bas relief
Of the soldier who fought at Marathon
shows him in similar costume. His
costume is no ephemeral piece Of cloth
ing, for it is worn with the dignity of
ages behind it. The evzones are ig-
norant of fear, and If they look any
thing but soldierly their appearance is
belied by their ability to fight under
extraordinary conditions. - Syracuse

Keen In the Sunshine.

There are only two kinds Of people in
the world-the people who live In the
shadow and gloom and those who live
on the sunny side Of the street. These
Swallowed ones are sometimes called
pessimists, sometimes people Of melan-
choly temperament; sometimes they
are called disagreeable people. But,
wherever they go, their characteristic
Is this-their shadows always travel on
before them. These people never bear
their own burden, but expose all their
wounds to others. They are all so
busy looking down for pitfalls and
sharp stones and thorns on which to
step that they do not even know that
there are any stars In the sky. These
folks live on the wrong side Of the
street. And yet it is only twenty feet
across to the other sidewalk, where
sunshine always ies.-Newell Dwight

tiny, creamy flowers are born In gor-
geous plumes. Its leaves are strongly
veined and grow luxuriantly. Its seeds
are very small and shining. The plant
bears its plumes of flowers proudly,
and well 1T may, for it is a near rela-
tive of the aristocratic rose. But 1t Is
through its early rising habits that We
know it best. Long before sunrise,
between the hours of and o'clock
In the morning, it opens its petals.

Relqian konqo.

Belgian Kongo. founded thirty years
ago, is still in the early stage Of devel-
opment. So far practically no manu-
featuring industries have yet been es-
tablished, and, aside from the impor-
tant copper mines in the Katanga dis
trict, the only large industrial enter
prises are the railways and river trans
portation services. 1t may be said that
all business activities in the colony are
devoted to the collection Of tropical
products rubber, ivory, gum copal,
palm oil and kernels, cacao, etc.-and
the railway and river services are in
reality only accessories to these activi-
ties, having been established primarily
to aid in the transportation Of these
products to the seaports. The gather
ing Of rubber In Kongo has never re-
covered its former activity, and in all
probability will never again be so rich
a source Of income to the colony as it
was previous to 1912.

Geography Is the sum total Of an the

takes a bacteriologist to make you
know the difference between the sea

ply Is ordinary geography with what
