RAILWAY FIREMEN

The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen have re.
moved official headquarters from
Peoria, ILL.,, to Cleveland, O. The
headquarters were established in
Peorta some fifteen years ago, when
the organization. was small, but the
business grew until latterly the bro
tnerhood had to rent the entire
twelfth floor Of the Jefferson build
Ing, the largest office building in Pc
orla. The move to Cleveland was
partly due to the fact that the Bro

have their office building there, cost
Ing $1,5OO,0O0, and are closely affili-
ated with the firemen and engine
men. The Brotherhood Of Railway

FEDERAL LAW FREES
10000 CHILD SLAVES

WASHINGTON, Aug. S1.-The
passing Of the federal child labor law
by this congress will free 100000
children from industrial slavery, says

relations. -.
It is q long step toward freeing
nearly 100000 other children who

In 1927 q union organisation OF
workers Of tho City Of New York de-
clared that no child under 16 years
Of age should be, permitted, to work
in gainful industry. That was the

New. York Electrical Display
will Work For Improvement :
Of Labor Conditions.

The keynote of the New York
Electrical Exposition Of 1915, which
will be held in Grand Central Palace,
New York City, Oct. II to 81, will be
the improvement OF working condi-
ttons in factores.-and shops. It is a
generally conceded fact that electric.
ity has accomplished more than any
other single agency in lettering labor
ing conditions in every branch Of in
dustry. Fl Especially, in the Large cities
where space: Is limited, has 1t proved
the "Good Samaritan OF the working
man. Individual motor drive on ma
chinery5 in addition to being far more
efficient, has eliminated dangerous
betting which served chiefly to stir
up dust for workers to- breathe. Elec-
trically. driven blowers and ventilators
now carry away noxious fumes and
vapors and death dealing dusts. The
method and means by which these
and many other ,healthful and SAM
tary things are accomplished will be
shown by working exhibits.

would be impossible to calculate the
number of serious cases Of eye strain,

electrical exposition will be shown
under the light which experts have
decided upon as tho ideal light for all
Working conditiona.' It IL a blush
shade Of light, very festful to the eye,
and containing all the properties Of
true daylight. There IL no doubt that
the 1916. electrical exposition in New
Fork city will be Of great interest to
all workers as we'll as to employers
and factory owners. who will find it
a source Of many valuable suggestions

A Few Remarks to
The Laboring Men

On Labor Day and dur
ing the political cam
paign, everybody flatters
the horny-hand toiler.
At other times, es-
pecially when there is any
labor trouble, they do not
love you quite so much,
and whether your initials
are A. F. L. or I. w. w.
they fight you as merci-
lessly by one name as by
any other.
It strikes US that most
.storekeepers act during
strikes as if it were a mis-
fortune to have you earn
more money.
: X X
I would prefer to see
three shifts at eight hours
in all industries, especially
those running. "a hours a
day.
Yes, eight hours a day
and big pay! Then we'd
have town where a store
could make some money
all the time.
It isn't tonnage that
builds a city, but men.
Three shifts would mean
one-third more men.
Our boosters seem often
to forget that tonnage
neither eats, drinks, builds
houses nor buys clothes.
Men do.
* X
We all live directly and
indirectly on the laboring
mems earnings proceeds
you get, the more you can
spend with US.

USE DONKEYS FOR PICKET DUTY
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-Culin-
airy workers on strike for an eight
hour day are tired of being charged
with melting violence because they
picket, so they are now using donkeys
to advertise nonunion restaurants.
Unionists are wondering what objec-
ton the lawandorderites can raise
against harmless, inoffensive donks.

that the employees must put up the

Mr.. Talmadge recently acquired an
interest with Ray House, prominent
Montana ranchman, in a fine ranch on
the Missouri river, about fifty miles
south of Glasgow. He expects to de-
velop this property and will move with
his family to Montana next summer,
the management of the ranch being
looked after in the meantime by his
partner. He expects to dispose of his
cattle holdings here or ship them to
the Montana ranch. On Monday he
sold 1O5 head of Galloways to D. H.
Ugland, the Knox banker, who will
place them on his ranch near Pleasant
Lake. Mr.. Upland paid fancy price
for the bunch, but considers that he
made a good buy as most of the ami
mails are pure bred and eligible to reg
istry.
The sale of the Talmadge ranch
marks the passing Of the last of the
big ranchers who made the "Towner
country" famous in the range days.
Mr.. Talmadge, with his father, C. H.
Talmadge, came to the Mouse river
country in 1884. Earl has been en-
gagged in the cattle industry ever
since, the elder Talmadge retiring
from active business several wears
ago. The Talmadge ranch has been
known all over the northwest and it's
owner regarded as one of the shrewd-
est stockmen in this section.

Admiral Mayo had been responsible
and had not acted under orders, then
the only proper course for Secretary
Daniels would have been to order his

the failure to do SO would have shifted
the blame al once from the shoulders
of Admiral Mayo to the shoulders OF
