EVEN WHALE MEAT SCARS.

Seattle, Wash.-Editor Ault of the
Seattle Union Record has punctured the
rosy theory that whale meat will reduce
the high cost of living and put the meat
trust in the hands of a receiver. He
says "the spongy steaks from the big
sea monsters are now demanding rapid
ly ascending prices, first, because of its
novelty and second, because of an exist
ing monopoly in the market"
The whaling concern that supplies the
local market disposes of its product to
one concern and the retail price at pres
ent is around 13 cents pound. Restaur-
ants are charging 45 cents for an order
that costs them cents.

STONE CUTTING TOOL

Indianapolis.-T Journeymen Stone
Cutters association is conducting an
agitation against the use of the air ham,
mer for stone cutting purposes.
Medical authorities support these I'M
ionists and show that the constant use
of the air hammer causes humps on the
hands in some cases the size of hens

One physician reports that their hands
are so benumbed and rendered insen-
sible to temperature changes that they
are not conscious that their hands are

Other i'll effects are constant pain
while at work, loss of sleep and high
nlcoG pressure, these disorders all con-
tributing to destroy the nervous system
of men who are seemingly in perfect
physical condition.
But these men are irreparably dam
aged" reports one medical investiga-
tor, "and any one who observes this
hammer in its rapid, violent vibration,
must realize that no man can hold it
firmly in his hands, frequently in a
strained position for eight hours day,
five and one-half days in the week,

fects may be confined to the hands in
some cases, and only evidenced by pain,

cases it will affect their nervous system

WOMEN WORKERS EXPLOITED
On Government Contracts, Is Charge
Made BY Labor Committee.

Washington, June 10. "A protest
charging that war has resulted in the
exploitation of women workers on Gov
ernment contracts and the violation of
labor standards in Government depart
ments, was presented to White House
officials and Cabinet members today by
a committee of the National Women's
Tradue Union League.
The committee told Secretary Tumulty
and Secretary Baker that, while many
garment workers in New York are idle,
contracts for uniforms and other sup
plies are going to cities whose labor re-
sources already are overburdened. To
Secretary McAdoo the committee COM
planned that several hundred employees

ing and the Government Printing Office,

hours a day and seven days a week, u
while the Civil Service rosters are filled

make overtime entirely unnecessary.
All of the secretaries interviewed
promised to investigate.

MINERS OF KENTUCKY
COUNTIES
Affected BY Strike Called In Nom
Union Fields.
Delegates to Convention at Madison
vile Fix July 8 as Date i'm
Resolutions Adopted.

Madisonville, KY, June 19-Miners
in the non-union mines of five Kentucky
counties are affected by strike called
today at a convention of delegates from
various mine locals The strike is called
for miners in non-union coal fields of
Hopkins, Union, Webster, Christian and
Henderson Counties and is set for July
B. Resolutions adopted at the conven-
ton follow:
Whereas, for almost half a century the
miners of the Hopkins County coal field
have been working for the lowest wages
and under the most intolerable condi-
tons existing in any coal field in Amer
lea, and,
Whereas, at the present time the
wages paid in this rield are absolutely in
adequate to meet the war prices of the
necessities of life, and,
Whereas, The outrageous prices now
being paid for coal upon all markets of
our country will unquestionably justify
our employers in paying us decent liv-
ing wage for Our labor and,
Whereas, All honorable means to in.
duce our employers to grant our just
and reasonable demands have been ex-
hausted, our petitions having been ignor.
ed, and spurned; and,
"Whereas, 1t has been our firm and
earnest desire to refrain from any ac-
ton that would in the least embarrass
our Government in this grave crisis
and,
Whereas, every effort on our part
to bring about an amicable adjustment
of our differences with our employer:
has utterly failed;
Therefore, Be it resolved: That +;
strike of all coal miners in the non
union mines in Hopkins, Christian
Union, Webster and Henderson Coun
ties be, and is hereby declared, to taxi
effect on July 3, 1917, and remain in ef
feet until our demands are granted an,
our constitutional rights recognized"

ABOLITION OF CABARETS
Would Feed Millions, Hoover Tells
Women Workers.

Washington, June 19.-Tangible plans
for woman's work during the war were
made at q meeting here today between
the Women's Committee of the Defense
Council and the heads of the leading
national women's societies.
Herbert c. Hoover outlined the i'm
portant part women will be expected to
play in food conservation, and secured
a unanimous pledge of cooperation. Not
only by saving in the household, Hoover
said, but by discouraging extravaganza
in public cafes can the women aid in re-
ducing food waste. Abolition of caba-
rets alone, he told the women, would
feed millions.
The safeguarding of women and chill
dren workers from war exploitation was
given considerable attention in the con-
terence, and there was a general agree
ment to combat all efforts to set aside
labor standards or to put women into
mems positions without equal pay.

SEND OVER THE AEROPLANES,

Aeroplanes have played more i'm
portant part in the war than is generally
realized. No longer is their usefulness
confined to scouting. They are used to
destroy the aeroplanes and Zeppelins Of
the German Government, to drop bombs
and fire shells upon troop trains and
stores, to attack and destroy submarines
and submarine bases. The extent of
their usefulness, in fact, has been limit
ed only by the number OF machines
available,
The United States has an opportunity
to do a big thing in a big way. The
Council of National Defense has out
lined practical and feasible plan. Con
gress should act promptly in making the
apportions so that the fleet of 5000 ma
chimes by the last of July may become a
reality.

Gated its opposition to any plan for

male labor, a policy that has been pro-

war abroad. The feeling was that, while
additional female labor may be neces-
sary at later period, it is not necessary
now and would be fruitful only in mis-
understanding.
For the present the discussion of fill
ing UP gaps caused by calls to military
service was not considered essential, the
committee believing in awaiting the
actual conditions and not attempting to
anticipate them.
One of the proposals discussed was

Labor In Ohio Wins Point
That War Is Not Reason to LoUer Standards.-Womer
Won't Be Used to Supplant Men Until Situation
Is Worse Than 1t Is At Present.
Defense Council Is Enlisted In Conservative Program,
Cincinnatian Attends State Farley.

Columbus, Ohio, June 19.-Quite con-
elusive was the victory gained by labor
today in enlisting for its program the
Ohio branch of the Council Of National
Denfense, which took affirmative action
today through its committee on labor
and industrial relations. With unani-
nifty the decision was reached that the
labor leaders are right in contending
positively against any attempt to reduce
labor standards during the war so long
as conditions do not make such step
imperative.
The attitude of the Ohio Council may
show its reflection in the course both of
other states and of the National Govern
ment in dealing with labor, and is re-
garded as having demonstrated the
force of the labor insistence upon main
tenance of the situation that existed
when the state of hostility was declared.
AT the meeting were three representa-
tives of labor and three of employing
interests The labor men were Thomas
J. Donnelly, of Cincinnati, and John J.
Quinlivan, of Toledo. For the State
Council, Fred c. Croxton, labor man,
spoke The employers interests were
represented by Daniel ]. Ryan, general
counsel of the Ohio Manufacturers AS
