UNLAWFULNESS.-

UNEANF UENESS.-DuQley lay
lor has expressed himself. Now we
know it is unlawful to demand bet
ter living conditions, unlawful to sus-
tain the God-given feeling in our
breasts that we are human beings
and need something more than work
to subsist upon; unlawful to reason,
think and to compare; unlawful to
strike.
But if striking is unlawful for the
poor employed, what then is UnIaw-
full for the wealthy employers? It
seems that the employers have the
law on their side whether they are
right or wrong. They pay starvation
wages and shout out over the land
that U. S. is in the embrace of rec
Ord-breaking prosperity.
Never before did industrial mag
mates reap such haEYests Of gold, and
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-04-24

yet, HOW uLIlG uO Iu5y compensate
the vital factor in the accumulation
of their wealth-the wOrkingman. If
the laws are made to perfect and
shield the employers in their evil ap-
titudes and leaving no alternatives
for the dOwntrodden poor, then it is
time to change the laws and get laws
that are just.
Wake up, brother workers, to the
realization of your predicament, rub
the sleep out of your eyes, stir your
selves a little and let your old rusty
thinking machinery start to spin. Or
ganize industrially and politically
and use your spare time for educa-
tiOnal purposes and not for pleasure
alone. Intelligence and education
are your best weapons in the fight
for industrial and political freedom.
Speak again, Mr.. Dudley Taylor! You
might stir somebody's. A. Bodin.
CREMATION.-Seeing so many
funeral professions vending their
way to outlying cemeteries forces
me to doubt the wisdom of such dis
position of the dead. AS the years
roll by and our cemeteries increase
in size and numbers I've become
more firmly convinced that the
sane and sanitary way-not to men
ton its cheapness - is cremation.
Burial lots are pretty dear even now,
and to predict the cost a few hun
dfed years hence is mere conjecture.
Then, does it brighten our lives to
visit the graves of our loved ones
and scatter flowers on them? The
effect of such an act is depressing
and sad. If you had no such place
to visit you might dodge this sorrow.
Would there be any great wrong
done your family should you order
your own body cremated at death
and the ashes thrown out with the
rubbish? Why not forget as much

TO THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO.
The city council of Chicago has
employed men of special training
and experience to make a thorough
study of the traffic needs of this city
with a view to improvements in our
street and elevated railway transpOr-
tation and possible subway cOnstruc-
ton.
An elaborate count of the passen-
gers on the elevated railways will be
made on Wednesday and Thursday,
April 26 and 81. This count can only
be successfully made by the coop
Grafton of the people of this city.
Your help is urgently needed. Help
the city by helping the men making
this count and so help get better
transportation for yourselves.
Take the checks handed you at
your station. Keep them UnfOlded
and deliver them to the collector at
your destination. - H. D. Captain,

poubIe Action Waterfall.

There are good many salt water ca taracts i'll existence. They may be found in Norway, southern Chile and British Columbia, where narrow fiords, or arms of the sea. are obstructed by barriers of rock. The rising tide flows over the filters through such reefs into the great natural reservoirs beyond, but the water is held back at the ebh until it breaks over the obstruction in an irresistible torrent. Most curious of all is the waterfall at Canoe pas sage, where the island of Vancouver approaches the British Columbia main land. Here the foodtide from the gulf of Georgia to the southward is held back at a narrow cleft between two islands until it pours over in boiling cascade eighteen feet high with per haps double the volume of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide, however, the waters from the north rush back into the gulf, producing a cascade of equal height and volume. The waterfall ae- tually flows both ways.-BalHmore Sum-.

chfcarv In Eranoa.

Chicory, so extensively raised. in France, is harvested eitherNby hand or by blowing. As fast as the plants in one line are pulled the roots are gather ed in heaps after the removal of the leaves and are roughly cleaned. They are then transported to the factories, where they are mechanically washed in flowing water and dumped on per forated conveyer that permits them to drain while travelling toward the root cutters. The roots, when cut in small pieces, are conveyed to the malt kilns or special driers, where they remain thirty-six hours or more, and after cooling they are bagged. The chicory, having now become friable, passes into a series of crushers. After each crush ing the broken material is passed through sifters that divide it into four grades. From the crushers the chicory goes to the roasting retorts and then receives a final manipulation, that of tinting, which consists in giving the grains a coating of impalpable chicory dust. The last operation is that of packing the chicory, either by hand or by machinery.-Argona

NEW YORK CENTRAL
 EXPECTS A STRIKE
Hiring Strike Breakers in Pre-
 paredness Move.

' New York, May 4.-In anticipation of a general railroad strike, affecting the big Eastern lines. thousands of strike breakers, it was learned today, have been herded together in New York City and shipped to points where trouble is expected.
 More than 1,5OO of these men al- ready have left New York and are scattered along the New York Central from Albany to Buffalo. Hundreds more have been spread out along the Nickel Plate Road.
 Representatives of strike breaking agencies which have rounded up the men freely admitted that they were being recruited for strike duty. Trouble on the Eastern roads was ex- pected to break with a .walkout of the telegraphers. H. P. Perham, President of the Order of Railway Photographers, has announced that if the demands of the te1egraphers and railroad signalmen are not met by the New York Central and Nickel Plate Roads a general walkout will take place at once.

FOUND DYING ON FLOOR
 UNDER SWITCHBOARD


 Port Jefferson, l.. l.. May 4-Wil- liam c. Wheeler, secretary and gener- al manager of the Port Jefferson Electric Light Go. was killed mysteri- ous1y in the power house of the plant here Wednesday. He was found by his nephew, lying on the floor directly beneath the big switch board. He was still breathing when found, but died as several physicians were work ing over him.
 Mir. Wheeler, who was 6 4 years old, was one of the most prominent men here. He was also secretary and gen. eraI manager of the Port Jefferson Water Go. and the Port Jefferson Min ing Go.
 He was seen to enter the plant of the electric light company about 10 o'clock yesterday morning.~ Other employees were in another part of the building. About half hour later his nephew, Harold Wheeler, was passing close to the switchboard when he saw his uncle lying on the floor. The young man had his uncle carried to the office and then called several physicians.
 It is supposed MT. Wheeler was making some adjustments in the big switchboard when he accidentally came in contact with high tension wires and suffered the shock that caused his death.

Wet Weather and camels.

Camels are very sensitive to mois- ture. In the region of tropical rains they are usually absent, and if they come into such with caravans the re- suits of the rainy season are greatly feared. The great humidity of the air explains the absence of the camel from the northern slopes of the Atlas and from well wooded Abyssinia. This sensftiveness expresses itself in the character of different races. The fin est, most noble looking camels, with short silklike hair, are found in the interior of deserts, as in the Tuareg region in north Africa, and they can not be used for Journeys to moist re gions. Even in Fezzan, south of Trip oli. the animals are shorter and fatter, with long coarse hair, and in Nile lands and on coasts it is the same. These animals, too, are less servicea ble as regards speed and endurance

BIG FREIGHT FIRE
 HITS N. Y. PIER

New York, May Fire of unknown origin caused a damage estimated at $10O,000 this afternoon and brought two freboats and the apparatus res bonding to three alarms, at Pier 68, North River, at 28th Street. which is occupied by the Delaware, Lackawan- ma & Western Railroad. The fire started near the pier head about one o'clock this afternoon, the first knowl- edge of it coming when the automatic alarm with which the pier is equipped went off. The damaged portion of the pier was filled with general domes- tic freight of fairly inf1aInmab1e ma ture, but the fire was soon brought un- der control.
 Railroad tugs managed to pull out of danger enc of the two 1os ded lighters which " ere alongside the docks, but the other caught ire and was some what damaged before the freboats drowned the blaze out
 Lieut.. John Pratt, of Engine 34, re- ceived 1acerations of the scalp. AL though no plot is suspected, the cause of the fire will be investigated.
