either individually or collectively,
cannot be measured by the amount
of injury which the exercise of his
constitutional right may do to So
ciety.
I'm my judgment employees have
a right either singly or collectively
to quit work because they are dis
satisfied with their wages or for
any other reason which has to do
with their welfare as to sanitary
conditions, ETC., as workingmen.
1t Is just an invasion OF mans 5
personal liberty and Just as much
in contraventiou of his constitu
tional right to compel him to re-
main in the service of another when
he is member or acting with his
union as it would be to compel MIN
to do so if he were acting individ
ually.
1T has been decided a number
of times, and in one instance b. no
less an authority than Justice Har-
Ian, late associate justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States
that labor union has right to
confer with reference to their
wages and to determine as matter
of fact whether they are satisfied,
and if not satisfied as a result of
their conference to quit work. /
am speaking now, of course, of the
rights as b tween the employer and
the emplcye, omitting entirely the
question of interference wi b some
one else operating the train Bet
as between the employer and the
employe the employees has right
either singly or collectively ID quit
work, in my judgment, and under
the constitution of the United
States he cannot be deprived OF that
right simply because he acts col
lectively. Whatever one party
may do alone he may do Ia com
bination with others provided they
have no unlawful object in view,
but the right to quit on account of
unsatisfactory wages can never be
made unlawful
If you can prevent men from
acting collectively and as a union
in regard TO their wages, to their
sanitary conditions and to questions
of health, surroundings and such
things, then you have, Of course,
destroyed collective bargaining alb,
solutely and have found a way by
which to inhibit collective action
upon the part o. labor and It would
be the be ginring of the end Of un-
ion labor.
Collective bargaining and col
Iective action both upon the part Of
capital and Iaoor are in accordance
U;,h the spirit and principle Of the
age, and some other way Will be
found to ADJUST these matters than
that Of taking backward step ard
destroying collective bargaining
and collective action 50 long as the
action is for lawful purposes

"Why talk of the difficulty OF pro-
nouncing Polish, Austrian Russian or
Roumanian names,' says writer In
the San Francisco Chronicle, when
ninety-nine out of every hundred can
not pronounce scores and scores of
English names? Just think of BERTHE

Belvoir as Beever, Featherstonhaugh

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-26

What might have been-Ah, what, l dare not think.
 We are all changed God judges for the best.
 God help us do our duty and not shrink,
 And trust in Heaven dumbly for the rest
 It is all very well for parents to be strict in bringing up their girl, but there is such a thing as being too strict. The father and mother talk things over from the time Rose comes home from singing school with a young chap of her own age-sixteen.
 T want this thing stopped right here!' storms the father Our daugh- ter is scarcely more than child. At sixteen her attention should be on her books. I'll not have boys hanging around my porch or front gate. You were twenty-four when we first com menced court;ng. That's the sensible age, when she knows pretty we'll what kind the man is who begins to drop in two or three evenings a week. I don't want her to have girls visiting here, putting foolish notions in her head. Nor shall she go to dances. If most every girl in the village turns out to be f1irt, mine will be one that won't"
 His wife fully agreed with his idea Of the proper way t) rear daughter. The child of such a couple does not have an enviable life of it-not allowed to bring her schoolgirl friends home, go to parties or entertainments. The bird used to being caged up submits to narrowed-down life, knowing no other.
 Years between sixteen and two and twenty glide by all too quickly. The home body is no longer invited to young folks affairs. Those girls wed, becoming matrons. :till they do not invite her to their socials and the young single girls do not want her. She hears the name "old maid" ap- piled to her. Even her home folks tell her she will not be likely to marry, as no one wants her. She may know, but she does not tell them that it is their fault, that they crushed all the young budding hopes of youth ill her heart, expecting they might take root and bloom when their blossoming time was ebbing.
 It is the duty of parents to smooth away the rocks from their girls life Instead of making them a barrier to prevent her from following the nat ural bent of maidenhood, mingling with the young of both sexes, being wooed and wed all in good time. Pa rents should remember that they will not always be with their daughter It is secret, narrowing thouRt to many parental heart that such a girl may never marry and will be left alone in the world--an'd lonely. How very lonely her life is, those about her will never know.
 It is no hardship for the woman who prefers single blessedness and is happier, free of wing, to go where she listeth, but the great majority of wo- men are not cast in that mold. A young girls home life should be so happy she will ever afterwar1 look back at it with memories sweet and tender. Parents should also bear in mind that some young girls are in tended to wed by fate's decree sooner than others. Keeping them back until they are far into their twent:es may prove a doubtful blessing. Why not give youth is f1ing?

 AID TO DEVELOPMENT OF
 U.S.AERO RESERVE SQUAD

chine and at the end of several weeks it was finished, taken out and flown and has been in regular service ever since.
 "The various members of the school have all made many flights, and we hope they will fly for their licenses be- fore they return to college. Flying with them is not sport; it is real, earnest work for preparedness, prep 'aration to make them fit for the ser vice of their country. I have kept in touch with the mothers of the men of our corps and told them all about their work. It is a great responsi- bility, I suppose, to have their sons learning to fly here, but they know that I would not allow my son to fly if I thought there was danger in it. With proper precautions, flying is a5 safe as anything else, and I should like to see the mothers who have sons at college make aviators of their boys. The college men are the right age and would form an invaluable aeronauti- cal reserve if this country needed them.
 "In addition to their practical work, the boys read everything relating to aeronautics and a portion of the li- brary has been set aside for this lit- erature. On their return to college they will take up the study of aero- dynamics and its allied branches"
 Arrangements are being made for the permanent hangars and other equipment of the squad, as it is plan ned that the training shall continue next year and thereafter

Anti-Suffs Don't
 Care So Much For { Hartford Paraders
(Mrs. Edward Porritt, Hartford.)

tMrs. Edward Porritt, Hartford.)
 Practically all the energies of the suffragists of Hartford and New Ha- ven are being poured into the work Tor the big parade of September 5. Livery woman who is to march is receiving notification as to just where aST must fall into line and also in- ivf,.sation about trains, accommoda- ton and other matters which will make her journey to New Haven more comfortable and convenient. The banners and slogans are practically complete, and a glimpse of these is sufficient to convince anyone that the the parade will be a beautiful and impressive spectacle. About the ele- phant Miss Pierson is still preserving discreet silence. All she says is ; Just wait and see. Of course we shall have an elephant to carry the plank" There is some suspicion, however, that the elephant will be of the artificial kind and not a genuine pachyderm.
 In spite of preoccupation with the parade the Suffragists of New London county held a most. successful con- vention on Wednesday, the 23rd. The meeting place was the Boxwood Inn, Old Lyme, and Mrs. Frederick H. Sykes, wife of Principal Sykes of New London Woman's College, gave the opening address of welcome. There were reports from all the towns in the county, many of which are now fully organized for suffrage. The high state of organization is largely due to the work of Miss Daphne Sel- den of Deep River, who has been hard at work during the last five or six weeks, and who reported on the en- couraging results and the favorable feeling she had found in the county Other addresses were from Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, Mrs. M. Toscan ' Bennett, Mrs. Walter J. Bartlett and Mrs. Edward Porritt. The conven- ton was the work of Miss Katherine Luddington, the county chairman who presided and who also made the final address.
 On Tuesday of next week the Litch- field county suffragists will hold their convention at Norfolk, at the home of Mrs. A. E. s. Taylor. The remarka- , ble feature of this convention will be the presence of Dr. Anna H. Shaw, who will give an address of greeting to Litchfield county. The same evening Dr. Shaw will address a mass meet ing at New Hartford, and on Thurs day the 31st, she is scheduled to speak in Torrington. These meetings have been arranged by committees of local ladies with the advice and assistance of Mrs. Taylor.
 / The speakers at the Norfolk con- vention will be Mrs. Hepburn. Dr. Parker, and Mrs. Porritt. Mrs. Tay- Tor will preside at both sessions, and the reports will be made in the morn ing session.

GIRL LEFT HIM BEHIND.

L. lI, writes This concerns my girl. She's eheery. All in her crowd have good times. She turned me down. Blame her sister She doesn't approve of my marrying her younger kin. Your advice Is of great value to me to know how she will consent to come back to me again. Let me know right away, please.''
 Go to her sister and ask her to in tercede. If friendly, the girl of her own accord will come back to you. Showing over-anxiousness loses in stead of wins. Keep up hope. Every cloud has it's silver lining"

Bridgeport Woman's
 Danbury Property Is
 Injured By Lightning
(Specila1 to The Farmer

Danbury, Aug. 26-The last very vivid flash of lightning which came during the heavy electrical shower late Wednesday afternoon struck the cupola of the dwelling at 206 White street owned by Mrs. Theodore Saun- ders, of Bridgeport. Mrs. Saunders was in the house at the time, being in the city for a short time to look over the house preparatory to renting it to new tenants
 The bolt did not enter the building but evidently hit the cupola only a glancing blow. A quantity of shin gles was ripped off as the bolt went along the roof, some of the shingles being thrown into the next yard, nearly 50 feet away.

Semi Fitted Single>Breasted Jacket

Sllk coats, very plain in design but of exquisite line promise to be among the first Fall favorites. Tke models are easily adaptable to de. velopment in cloth, serge and other materials more seasonable for cold weather. The latest edict of fash:or is that coats may be either tight oI loose, so that the semi-ftting model strikes a happy compromise. Tho model shown here fastens in single. breasted effect and is trimed with square collar that may be rolled high or low. The two-piece coat sleeves are trimmed with cuffs of self-nate. rial, but the collar is of contrasting silk. Checks in two shades of green. brown, gray or blue make up these coats very effectively. Twin pockets ornament either side of the front, the forst being useful for snal. change. A two-inch-wide band of silk braid finishes the lower edge of the coat. In medium size the costume requires IFS yards 36-inch OF 5A yards 54. inch material.
 Since the skirt is plain model to. days dressmaking lesson will be titdtlSo Ou tAC CuttiHS OI lUe cOS"s Owing to the number of small sec. tions of the pattern to be placed upon tro material, it is imperative that the cctting guide be carefully stud. jed beforehand. The first thirg to do is to fold the fabrics directly ill half, pressing the fold in straight line. Now, place the back and collar into position as illustrated, because these rest on the fold. To the left of the back the side back may be placed, On a lengthwise thread of material. Above this is laid the side front, also on lengthwise thread. The upper sleeve section, the undertaking and the belt come next; the front is laid to the right, on a lengthwise thread, with the lower sleeve section above it and the cuff to the right. Near the edge of the lengthwise fold, but on a lengthwise thread are placed the DOC. ket laps and the inserted pocket.
 If the jacket is desired a shors length than illustrated, cut off the lower edges of the front, side front side back, back and underfacing of the pattern along small "o" per forations before placing these sec tions on the material.
