WHAT IS A STRIKE?

WASHINGTON.-"No member of
the National Guard shall be called up
on to perform duty in the suppression
of strikes"
Meyer London, Socialist Congress-
man from New York, offered this
amendment recently to the military
reorganization bill under considera-
ton by the House of Representatives.
The adoption of London's amend
ment would have prohibited the CAPT
talists from using the National Guard
as strikebreaking agency.
Chairman Hay, of the House COM
mittee on military affairs, made a
point of order against London's
amendment. Garrett, of Tennessee, in
the chair, sustained the point of order,
declaring that STRIKES" was too vague
a term to make the amendment ger
name.
London thereupon offered second
amendment to cure the vagueness:
The second amendment read:
"No member of the National Guard
shall be called upon to perform duty
in connection with any controversy
between capital and labor"
This amendment was also ruled out.

PUBLIC UTILITIES MUST BE
COLLECTIVELY CON-
TROLLED

In the first place, public utilities,
such as railways, street railways, gas
and electric lighting, and the like, as
also banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, and like institutions,
should forever be taken from under
corporate control
The mere fact that they are public
services, in which the whole commun-
ity is interested renders it unsafe to
exploit them for profit. The citizen
cannot provide himself with such ser
vices; and if these are given over to
private corporations for their profit,
must either go without the services,
OF pay whatever they see fit to extort.
But he cannot ordinarily go without
the services; and hence they charge,
as a rule, "all the traffic will BEAR"
and the public must satisfy their de-
mands, or its crops must go unmar-

ATLANTA, March 2o.-The friends
of Governor Nat e. Harris have laid
hold of the statement accredited 10
l9r. i. c. Hartman in his Cuthbert
speech favoTing four-ycar term for
governor, and are insisting that Hard
mans actions in trying to deny the
incumbent a second term and force
him out of office in disregard TO prec-
cdcnt at the end of the first two years,
arc widely at variance with his words.
In his speech at Cuthbert, DR. Hard
man was quoted as saying that he
would support biennial SESSIONS and
that furthermore he saw no reasons
why the governor shouldn't be named
for four years. and pointed out the aid
vantagcs to be gained in the way Of
knowledge and experience by man
holding the office long enough to get
familiar with its every detail before
the time came around for him to get
busy in another campaign.

splendid, but that i'll the light of it
they can't understand his trying to

Louisiana must keep her mosquitoes
at home, and not let them intrude on
the domain of the Mississippi brand.
This is the defy issued today by
Edgar N. Hirsch, proprietor of the
Gem Theatre, who wrote long wall
of woe to the Mississippi Railroad
Commission, protesting against the
practice of the New Orleans & North
eastern Railroad Company of allow
ing the windows of it's day coaches on
trains leaving New Orleans for the
North, to be unscreened.
Whether there is regulation re-
auiring the screening of cars, especial
ly during the summer season, Hirsch
does not know. He thinks that such
law should be enacted, and he says
he will circulate petitions on all
trains leaving New Orleans, if neces-
sary, asking the commission to take
some action.

is left entirely to the modesty of the
bathers.
"Modesty is the best policy" holds
good on the coast this year as in the
past, reports from there say, and the
unofficial superintendents on the coast
concur with the authorities of Chi
cago and the censors of feminine
swimming apparel in Boston and else
where. Chicago's regulations decree
that women and girls must wear
skirt and bloomer suits Stockings
are not obligatory, and for cleanliness,
comfort and ease in swimming, may
better be dispensed with"
So say the coast regulations with
respect to hose. But they are follow
ing out the theory that "the conduct
of the wearer has a lot more to do
with morality than the bathing suit
itself"
While the one-piece suit is not
barred where mixed bathing is en-
gagged in, it rarely ever is seen when
men are around. In cases where the
wearing of such suit of the Keller
man type or one-piece variety does
not attract unusual attention, in other
words, where the wearer is of that
type of Venus who can wear one of the
tight-clinging with modesty, no obiec
tions are made.
