Curious Contradictions That Spring
From Our Present Methods.
The paradox of time, reckoned as we
have come into the habit of reckoning
it, by which a cablegram that leaves
England at noon is received instantly
IN India at $50 p. m. and in New York
at a. M, has long since been dis
carded by astronomers and mariners
To these the time is always Green
wich time, and it is on Greenwich time
that the wireless signals of all the
world are based since the interna-
ttonal time conference which met in
Paris in 1912 declared that the uni
yersal time shall be that of Greenwich. :,
The Scientific American analyzes the
paradox ana prophesies that the day
will come when all the world viii have
but one standard time. We should
then abandon our time zones. with
their strangely irregular boundaries

systems and political frontiers and the

Strike Still On

The union nachnists VINO went
on strike at Black & Clawson are
still out and have entered on the
ninth week. There is little or no
change in the situation, conditions
being substantially the same as
when the men went out. The firm
still refuses to meet a committee OF
men to bring about a settlement of
the strike. 1t is said that the firm
is having some trouble in getting
ont the work and that it is neces-
sary to send it out of the city to be
finished. A canvas of the strikers
shows a determination to fight this
to finish as they see clearly the
importance of the question involved
There Is not going to be g back
down on the part of the strikers.
The picket lines are still maintained
and the men are drawing their
benefits from the organization each
week. They can remain out inde
fnitely to show Superintendent
Stacks, who it is said to be the
cause of the trouble that they are
union men from now and forever.

Employers Reject Award,

Hamilton, Ontario. July 30
Employers of machinists have re-
fused to accept the 50-heur week
award of the royal commission,
and 1000 machinists and tool-mak-
ers employed on war munitions
have suspended work.
The Employers Association of
Hamilton is running large adver-
tisemsnts In the daily press against
"paid agitators" who are charged
with fomenting this trouble. Ac-
cording to the employers, their ma
chinists and toolmakers were happy
and contented under the driving
strain of 10 hour day. The ques-
ton of reducing hours never en-
tered their minds until the serpent
in the form of "paid agitator, I"
came In their midst.
The Hamilton Herald takes these
employers to task for their sense
less fulminations and shews that
citizens having no connection with
organized labor encouraged these
metal workers.
Trade unionists are calling atten-
ton to the recent report of com
nittee appointed by the English
government to investigate condi-
tions of workers in munitions
plants. This committee declared
In favor of an eight-hour day and
objected to long hours on the
ground that it was injurious J, the
worker and that 1t was false econ
omy.

The teachers too, will live In ter

At a mass meeting last Sunday,
attended by 1000 citizens, repre-
senting all walks of life, vigorous
protests were made against the ef-
forts to make Chicago's public
schools the football of politics by
abolishing the merit system, in
vogue for over 25 years. A per-
manent public school league, pledg
ed to a long campaign for the es-
tablishment of democratic and eff
ficient public school system, was
formed. 1t was declared the issue
presented to Chicago was national
in its scope.
Secretary Olander of the state
federation of labor, said:
Heretofore the board had the
right to discharge teacher for un-
satisfactory work. The Loeb rule
gives it the power to discharge
teachers who do satisfactory work
to discharge them for political rea-
sons"

Statson Strike Is Over.

Philadelphia June 30-Although
the strike at the Stetson Hat com
pany Is over, this arrogant s., ,0O0,-
600 corporation has been taught
several lessons by its workers who
were forced on strike, although un-
organized. These workers, for the
first time, have sensed the power
of solidity and the company's pro-
misses indicate that it realizes the
old days have passed forever.
One of the gains secured is the
abolishment of gas complained OF
by the strikers. The company
manufactured Its own gas and used
1t in the process of making hats.
Employees were often forced to go
to hospitals and lose days of work
because of this gas. The percent
age system will be adjusted and
the company agrees to hear the
grievances of its employees.
Many of the strikers have Sc
cured other employment and de
clare they will never be known as
Stetson employees until this concern
accerds the workers the right TO
bargain collectively and until it is
forced to abandon through the
power of trade unionism, working
conditions that are not endorsed
by thinking men aud women.

trips around the island with a view
of making Investigations as to the

The home Of one of the most un

in the world was filed with gentleness

study and travel had brought her
knowledge and confidence. When the
great ones of the world came to visit

filed her place at his side with such
sweet grace that those who came to
pay their duties to him often returned
to pay still greater devotion to his
companion
William Dean Howells, so often
visitor there, once said to the writer:
Words cannot express Mrs. Glenn

Unions Are Favored
If Conducted Right.

Charleston, S. C, Jure 30 The
Anderson Evening Mail saws:
"A labor union is all right, but
it must be run with common sense
If 1t is to do anybody and coed"
Which is replied to by the
Charleston Review as follows:
"The Mail, which has been fight
ing the organization Of the printers
of that town, wants its readers to
understand that there are no goud
unions unless the bosses write the
bylaws and constitution, select the
officers and run the unions Ia the
interest of the bosses. Of course
that would be very nice-for the
bosses. 1t would be almost equal
to the scheme for a union of the
miners of Colorado presented by
John d. Rockefeller, jr. Some of
these days there will land in An
derson a bunch of printers that will
not give in to the bosses so easily,
and a bunch that will not leave
town until every printshop there is
thoroughly organized and when
the bosses discover the benefits
they themselves derive from organ
lied labor they will never think of
going back to the old way of every
body for himself and the devil take
the hindmost' plan now in vogue. !"

IL is with unfeipned grief that we
are compelled today to chronicle the
death of Mrs. James +. Irvine, one
of Deming's best loved women. Al
though she has lived in California
for the past six years, Deming, her
old home, still claimed her as its
own.
A. girl and young woman, Agusta
Raithel was very popular in Deming.
She was born February 2, 1874, and
she passed to the higher life at Long
Reach, May l, 1915. She was mar
ried to James f. Irvine November Is,
1895, one daughter, Margaret, bles-
sing the union. Margaret is just
blooming into womanhood, and was
higly honored in her school work this
wear by being made class historian.
She is second honor student Of the
class offs, Polytechnic High School.

The deceased leaves her bereaved
husband and daughter; her mother,
Mrs. Margaret Raithel,: three BROTH
ers, Chris Raithel; one sister, Mrs.
and Henry Raithel; one sister, Mrs.
II. c. Brown, and world of loving
friends to mourn her untimely de-
parture.
The mother was with her some time
before the end came, and her BROTH
ers, Arthur and Henry arrived half
hour before she passed away.
The funeral was at Long Beach,
where the burial took place.
