More Work And
Higher Wages.

In recent months the laboring
men of America have had rracti-
cal demonstration of the increased
wages that follow an increased de-
mand for labor. American manu-
featuring establishments have been
exceedingly busy not only in the
production of munitions of war.
but also iu the manufacturer of
articles which we are now toe busy
with international conflicts to en-
gage in manufacture for export.
This demonstration of the value of
b. sy factories should not be lost
upon American laborers. 1t should
require nothing more than this to
convince them of the desirability Of
the enactment and maintenance Of
protective tariff which will es-
tablish and maintain factories in
this country for the direct employ
iuent of labor and the indirect EN-
ployment of producers of commodi-
ties needed by the factories or by
those who labor therein

Cincinnati may soon enjoy the dis,

Steel Indictments Quashed By
Court.

Youngstown, Ohio, April =
Judge w. S Anderson Of the com
mon please court has quashed in
dictments against the United States
Corporation and FIVE other steel
companies who were charged with
conspiring to regulate the price of
common labor in violation Of the
Ohio antitrust law.
The court ruled that the irdict-
ments were vague, indefinite and
uncertain, /" and that they conficted
with the Clayton amendment to the
federal antitrust law, which de
clares hat "the labor power Of a
human being is not commodity or
article of commerce
1t is quite probable that the
courts action will permit the steel
operators to escape punishment for
the loss of life and destruction Of
property resulting from the Youngs-
town riot. X may also BE- impos
sible to make public the evidence
at he trial which the grand Jury
declared would show the "lawless
conditions of affairs surrounding
the labor conditions existing in
and about the steel industries Of
this valley" and the absolute dis
regard on the part of operators Of
the rights of the workers and The
public generally.
While trial might result in
these developments the case world
be based on the theory that labor is
a comm dity, thereby securing an
other precedent to use against trade
unlonists in their state campaign
to abolish this ancient concept.
Because Of the application Of This
Commodity theory to labor
courts defend tteir issuance of la
Dor ipjunctions which invariably
deny workers inherent slghts that
are guaranteed by the federal and
states constitutions.

Labor Must Organize.

Industrial justice in the form of an
eight hour working day, minimum
wage and the right TO organize was the
cause advocated by James O'Connell,
member of the commission on indus
trial relations and president of the
metal trades department Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in recent
address in New York
Shorter working hours" said Mr..
O'Connell would give the laborer
more time to think and would show
him the folly of frequentmg the grog
shops. Better working conditions would
make the workers more human and de

feudal system died in the Napol

SLOWLY but surely the workers
have been making demands for re-
cognition of their rights as human
beings and as members of society
and have established many of them.
In appreciation of their dignity
and value. il is the duty of the
wage erners 10 make demands upon
the world assembled in the next

have tremendous effect upon the
spirit and the determinations of
that congress.
"Such a demand would set hip b
standards of democracy and would
give prominence to principles OF
human welfare that could not be
iggored.
The labor movement is the
great humanizing, democratizing,
force in the affair of nations, and
it must have 4 place wherever the

R. R. Chiefs Make Statement.

Chicago, H., April THE four
chief executives of the brother
hoods of conductors, engineers,
hremen and enginemen and train
men have authorized the following
self explanatory statement relative
to the eight-hour referendum vote
of railway transportation employees:
While the returns from the mem
bership of these four organizations
are not fully completed, it is evil
dent that the vote is overwhelming
ly in favor of presenting to the
railway companies of the United
States the request for the eight
hour day and time and one half for
overtime. Consequently, the move
ment with that object in view will
be carried forward in its regular
course. The present vote has no
significance whatever exc pit as an
indication of the desire or the men
that this matter should be pressed
to conclusion, and all reports that
it has any significance as strike
vote are erroneous End misleading
In the immediate future the request
will be presented to the railway
managements and the necessar J
steps taken to make the same ef-
feclive. =

PICKING A LOBSTER.
Always Select One That Kicks and
Struggles Vigorously.


When you go to pick out a lobster for
cooking select one that kicks such is
the advice Mrs Mary c. Pickett gives
in the National Food Magazine, the
editor Of which calls her the lobster
queen" and says she is the best known
lobster broker in the United States
Mrs Pickett quotes the ancient He
brew law against eating anything that
has died of itself, and says that the
moment lobster is taken out of salt
water it begins to die and its flesh to
deteriorate So the excellence of a
lobster depends in large measure on
the length OF time that elapses between
his being taken from the water and
his being served at table. When lob
ster moves his claws feebly he is near
" dead and, though not unfit to eat, his
fiesh will not be firm ana tasty.
Keepers Of first class restaurants
have experts to select their Holsters
These pick them over as soon as re
ceived. sending some TO be boiled at
once and reseryin@ others for broiling
The finest Holsters come from the
coldest waters. and Mrs, Pickett says
those caught south Of Cape Cod do not
amount to much, their flesh being not
nearly so firm as those from Maine
waters.
The only way to tell if a lobster is
in really good condition is by its Hyeli
ness. If it struggles vigorously, fops
its tail and makes wide open nit its
claws" It is all right; if it is lethargic,
opens it's claws wearily and shows no
sign Of fight, it is dying and should be
let alone, for it is notvcheap at any
price.
The lobster, writes Mrs. Pickett,
should be boiled in the morning for
use at dinner ana kept in a very cold
place but not in direct contact with
the ice, and it is better not to remove
the meat from the shell until just be.
fore preparing it in any desired way.
