OPPOSE "CAN'T STRIKE" LAW.

Washington.-President Wilson's rec
ommcndation to congress that a cant
strike law be passed will be opposed by
the American Federation of Labor and
the railroad brotherhoods.
AT the last convention of the A. +. of
L., held in Baltimore, the report of the
executive council on this question was
unanimously adopted.
involuntary and compulsory labor
once enforced" il was stated, even for
single hour, will not halt at its tenn
porary enforcement, but will go in and
become permanent.
THE human labor power which this
law compels wage earners to give to
their employers against their will is in
separable from the body and the per-
sonality of the wage earners. 1t is part
of the men and women themselves. They
cannot be forced to work for an employ
er against their wills without reducing
them to the legal condition of slaves and
Transforming their minds and spirits in
to those of slaves. No more dangerous
proposition has ever been proposed than
this compulsory investigation measure.
Compulsory institutions to prevent
strikes are not new. They have been
found in other countries and found want

Those Selfish, UnselGsh Men.

Som etimes I think men are the most exasperating, selfish creatures in the world
 They make such a fuss about their meals, they scold so when the morn- ing paper doesn't come or the la1In- dryman is late, or at any of the small mishaps that are an inevitable part of the warp and wool of daily life, and that wouldn't matter much if peo- pie only wouldn't fuss about them. And Then I Wonder How They Can Be
 So Unselfish.
 And then again I am touched by the infinite patience and the unsel- fshness of this strange race of crea- lures.
 Once upon a time when I was in New York I called upon a friend who lived in Brooklyn.
 I was myself staying at the other end of the city and the trip took ms one hour and three quarters, much of which was spent in a hot, ill-ventl]at- ed, crowded subway.
 It was terrible trip, and I could not help commenting upon it to my hostess.

even if by taking it I broke my agree
 E1ent with the Lotus Study club.
 I had finished a successful season of
 lectures with the Lotus Study club in
 spite of the skilfully concealed ami
 mostly of the secretary, Mrs Helen
 Brainerd Smith. I knew that she had
 never forgotten the incident of my first appearance before the club, when I had deliberately betrayed parsimony to the m members of the club as the
 only method of compelling her to pay
 me the amount she had agreed upon. Although her office was that of sec retary, she was the real leader of the l club, owner of the house in which the l clubrooms were, and virtually the dic- l tator of the clubs policy. I felt it to , be a real triumph that in spite of her covert opposition the members of my l study class had insisted upon my re- appointment to the position. Mother Graham's Suggestion. l I did not like the thought of leaving 1 the women who had thus honored
 me, but, on the other hand, if Dicky : and I were to come to the parting of 1 the ways I could not refuse this rare /, chance to step back into the work l had left for his sake.
 I decided to be guided by his atti- ! tude. If he were indifferent to my l course I would know that my actions had ceased to be of interest to him and I would accept the position. But
 if he showed his old anger at the proposition
 I did not have long to wait. As
 lifted my eyes to his face when I had finished reading the letter I saw the
 old familiar black frown on his face , I never thought that my hear would leap with joy at the sight o, Dicky's frown but it did. Before mother spoke:
 ) Isn't this splendid? You are {
 most fortunate woman, Margaret, tC / be able to step back into a positio, like that. If it had come earlier whel r my health was so poor, you coulc - not have taken it. Now you can ac ccpt it, for I am perfectly able to rul l the house. You, of course, will writ l your acceptance at once.' l She paused. I knew she expecte g me to reply. But I closed my lip
 firmly. Dicky should be the one t S decide this. He did it with thorough . ness.
 V 'I thought we settled all this re r. last spring." he said. Mother, I don [. want to be disrespectful, but this 8 my business and Madges, not your g You will refuse, of course, Madge." S He turned to me in the old in |. rerious manner. Months before ? should have resented it. Now S revelled in it. Dicky cared enoug
 about me, whether from pride or low = to resent my going back to my worl n If you wish it, Dicky," l sai s quietly.
 s He turned a grateful look at m 1t Then his mothers voice sounded in II periously in our ears.
 II think you have said qui e enough, Richard" she said, with ic ,f dignity. Will you kindly telegrap a Elizabeth that I shall start for h, k home tomorrow The children are -e school now, so it will not be so tryir d cn me. I certainly shall not stay l. a home where I am f1outed as I hay e been this morning."

again right away, so he has to go back and forth every day, and in the rush hour, too when he has to stand most of the way."
 Think of it! An hour and three- quarters twice day-three and a half spent going to and from his work, and spent in uncomfortab ble and un- healthy surroundings.
 All so that his wife shouldn't have to move!
 That's what I call heroic sacri- fce-the kind of heroism that en- dures the torture of a million pin bricks of daily discomfort
 No Woman Should Accept Such a
 Sacrifice.
 No woman should accept such a sacrifice.
 Accessibility to her husbands bus mess ought to be the first factor con- sidered in choosing a home. No wo- man would deliberately lop off two or three years of her husbands life so that she might be more accessible to her friends. Yet that is just what many women do in forcing their hus- bands to spend an extra hour a day in transit.
 There are not many cases so bad as the one I have quoted (though I know of another where the father for years travelled two hours and half each way), but there are many cases in which the convenience of the work CT has not been made (. prime factor in the choice of home.

ALMOST TOTAL ECIISE
Thousands of New Britain PcopIe
 Witness Phenomenon of Skies.

Thousands of New Britain people in common with those all over the east, witnessed an almost total eclipse of the moon last evening. The eclipse will also be partly visible this eve ming. At about 10 o'clock last night the earth entered the path of the sun and cast a small shadow across the face of the moon. In an hour the entire face of the moon was almost hidden, after which the eclipse grad ually passed off.
 Last night was an ideal one to see an eclipse. There was hardly a cloud in the sky and with the moon at it's full it was one of the most perfect eclipses that have occurred in years.

KIDNAPPING BORES
 POOR RICH BOY
Heir to $2,0O0,O00 Says He Tired
 Of Being Dragged Around

New York, July 15.-"The poor
 little rich boy" William Crossman Lee, heir to the s2,0OO,OOO estate of
 his grandfather, William Crossman,
 once known as the "coffee king" has
 fresh troubles, though the law con-
 siders his troubles ended.
 The battle for possession of the
 fourteen-year-old boy and manage
 ment of his estate during his minor
 ity was fought for more than a year
 in the Surrogates Court at White
 Plains between William Mills jr. of
 California, father of the boy, and
 Frederick T. Lee of White Plains, his
 stepfather. His father started seven
 separate actions to get the lad and
 lost every one.
 The boys mother, who had divorced
 Mills and been married to Lee, died
 at the Hotel AnsOnia two years ago.
 It was testified in Mills suits that
 he had never taken any interest in
 his son until the boy inherited the Crossman estate. The boy testified that his mother had impressed him with the desira bility or remaining in the care of his stepfather and the latter's mother, Mrs. Emma Kenyon Lee.
 Lawyer Named As Guardian. Finally Surrogate Sawyer last June
 decided that the boys welfare would be best conserved by the appoint ment of "a third party as guardian He named De Witt H. Lyon, a Port 1 Chester lawyer.
 l Then the Lees took the boy to Dan- bury Conn.,, and would not surrender ! him to Lyon. Hearing warrants had been sworn out against them, charg- l ing kidnapping, the Lees returned to l White Plains yesterday, bringing ''the poor little rich boy.'' MT. Lee went l to the office of his attorneys, Strang ! & Taylor, and the Sheriff was in formed of his presence. MT. Lee was 1 arrested, and the Sheriff went to Mo- 35 Green Ridge Avenue, where he 1 found Mrs. Lee and the boy. She was arrested and taken with the lad | to the Sheriff's office
 There were waiting MT. Lyon and l Edward Gore, the latter representing | Sidney s. Syme, MT. Lyons lawyer Mrs. Lee was indignant when told
 she must give up the boy. The lac l cried that he did not want to leave
 her. But he was taken to the Lyon 1 home. There the lawyers wife
 sought to comfort him, but he re.
 mained perturbed.
 | Would Like Quiet Life. I'm tired of being dragged around the country,' said he.
 1 MT. Lee and his mother were ar. raigned before Judge O'Brien, who held them in $5,O0O each. Bail was | given.
 In his decision naming Mr. Lyor as guardian, Surrogate Sawyer ex pressed hope that there would be z reconciliation between father and son and to that end ordered that MT l Lyon should have the boy spend July ] and August with his paternal grand | parents in New Rochelle, where his 1 father may visit him.
 l But the Surrogate also said: l T would suggest to the new guar. dian that if Mrs. Lee can provide q
 su1ta ble home for the boy she have l the care of him until he reaches g 1 more mature age, when he may de- | eide for himself with whom he wishes 1 to live"
