In Accord With Human Ideals.

in this position they are in accord
with every organization or organism
that has ever declared for the princi-
pie of arbitration. Not even the most
ext-ava CANT advocate of world peace
through the process of arbitration does
not exclude certain fundamental prin-
ciples as not justicia BILE or not arbitra-
Bile. The railroad brotherhoods are
standing firmly for fundamental prin-
ciple of human welfare.
They have made virile. straight
forward fight. They deny that railroad
presidents or managers ought to be given
the special privilege or the advantage that
would accrue from compulsory arbltra-
ton. Their position is In accord with the
position Of the American Federation OF
Labor
Compulsory arbitration. or so-called
investigation. is simply way to restrain
free necessary action on the part Of wage
earners and to make them more easily
dominated by employers. 1t only makes
the striker a criminal and gives authority
for failing workers who quit work.
Asks Approval of Eight-Hour Law.
Employers appreciate the Importance
of the shorter workday: they know that
1t means more independent workmen.

sion. II is necessary for the protection
and the best interests of the workers to
whom the law will apply as we'll as to
ali of the workers OF the state, that every
man shall do his best, that every woman
in Maine shall aid to secure the approval
OF this act.
The fundamental power of wage
earners is their economic power-their
power to produce. This is what makes
them of consequence in national or
ganism. 1t is the way by which they
can make their demands felt. Eco
nonic power put back of any demand

Labor day. September, 1916. finds
the trade union movement of the
United States in stronger position
than ever before. The labor movement
means something more than demands
for more money and shorter work
days: II means the ideals which these
demands represent. The labor move
gIeut represents the great desire of the
masses of people for more freedom. for
justice. for better and higher life.

LEWISTON, Me. September An a
Labor day address here Samuel Com
pers president OF the American FEEDER
alton of Labor praised President VIII
sons administration for its achieve
lnents in the interests Of the labor
movement. and denounced the decis-
ions of the Supreme Court in the Dan
bury hatters" and Arizona anti-alien
law cases. which, he pointed out. were
participated in by Charles E. Hughes,
the republican presidential nominee.
In lengthy discussion of the threat
ened railway strike he defended the
attitude of the brotherhoods. While ne
praised President Wilson for his EFFORTS
to settle the controversy, he unquah-
fedIy denounced any attempt at lesls-
lation to compel arbitration.
Clear Cut Issue.
"The demand of the railroad brother
hoods is a clear cut issue he said
They now make the simple demand
that their lives and their physical well
being shall be protected. and that they
shall be required to work only such
reasonable period of time as Industrial
experience has shown to be expedlent.
For the eight-hour principle has
been universally accepted by society.
The eight-hour workman is a better,
more resourcefu1, a more productive
worker than the one who labors long
hours.
THE railroad brotherhoods have not
refused to accept arbitration. They
have declared that the eight-hour work
day involves a principle of human well
fare that cannot be disputed, and
therefore, cannot be arbitrated. They
are willing to submit every other is
sue, all of which are arbitrable, to
mutually satisfactory tribunal.

"Hell's Hinges" the wonderful Kay
bee Triangle feature, in which William
S. Hart gives a powerful Interpretation
Of a reformed badman, will be offered
for the final times at the Colonial to-
day. "Hell's Hinges" is a play with
heart interest, it is full Of action and
suspense, it has masterful hero, who
overawes a town full of 1awless char
acters, and last of all it has an uneX-
pected but satisfying finish. A whole
town is destroyed by fire in the last
act, because the majority Of the inhabi-
tants show themselves unworthy of the
efforts that have been expended to
raise it from it's low level Of vice and
crime In the production of this stir
ring drama Hart showed that he didn't
need anybody to sub for him when 1t
came to shooting. The story called for
the hero to keep a can in the air by a
series Of shots and Hart made good
with a vengeance. No gunman ever
lived who could have been quicker on
the draw or more sure Of his aim than
this notable star. His horsemanship is
Of the best, for he was mounted while
he was pumping out the fusillade of
shots from his trusty weapons. All in
all "Helfs Hinges" is powerful pic
ture, with exciting scenes, spectacular
effects and vivid and realistic acting.

be held was filled with soldiers On
every street where the car tracks did
not run line of wooden horses was in
place. one side Of the line being reserv-

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
od condition, be careful what you
sh 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
ltain too much alkaf. This dries
\ scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
toanut oil (Which is pure and en-
fsy greaseless), is much better than
most expensive soap or anything
e you can use for shampooing, as
is can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
d rub it in. Den or two teaspoonfuls
make an abundance Of rich, creamy
her, and cleanses the hair and scalp
'foushly. Teh lather rinses out easily,
removes every particle Of dust, dirt,
fdruff and excessive oil. The hair dries
lckly and evenly, and 1t leaves it fine
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man.
lou can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
rev ounces is enough to last every
IN the family for months.
