10 Do Away with Use of
"Black List" by EMPLOYERS

Representative Robert j. Murphy of
Calais Is the father Of the bill which is
now pending in the judiciary committee
to prohibit discrimination against per-
sons seeking employment.
This is an act intended to do away
with the use Of the black list by en-
ployers Of labor" said Rep. Murphy.
1T is generally recognized that such a
list is in existence and is resorted to
particularly by the employers of shoe
workers. The practice as it is developed
takes away from the workers all spirit
of independence and leaves them at the
absolute mercy of the employers. To
be placed upon the black list by an
employer not only means the loss of the
position held by the employee but rem
ders it impossible for him to obtain an
other position from any other employer
using the black. list.
This results in the employee being
forced either to leave the community
or taking up some other line Of employ
ment less remunerative to him. The
working Of the black list has sent
many a skilled lahorer to the Massa-
chusetts shops and has supplanted him
with others. perhaps less skilled, but
more plant to the demands of the man.
ufacturer Shoe workers are notorious
ly unorganiZed because membership in
any labor organization is understood to
be cause for black listing They are
completely at the mercy of the manu-
facturers by reason Of the ever present
threat of the black list
II believe in the freedom Of the labor
era freedom that should not be stul-
tilted by the use of any unfair weapon
in the hands OF the employer. If the
p adjustment of the black list will tend
towards that freedom, we'll and good. I
believe it will. for 7 can hardly con-
ceive of any persons violating the pro-
visions of the act and laying them
selves liable to criminal prosecution"

The West Falmouth local has voted
to build and the lumber Is now on
the ground, and the store will be
erected in the spring. The New
Gloucester, Gardiner, Yarmouth and
Freeport locals have erected stores
and are carrying on a good business
and in fact some of them will have
to increase their capacity as the bus
mess has outgrown their present
quarters.
Some time ago representatives of
these locals met at Portland and
voted to organize a distributing house
in that city for the purpose Of dis
tributing all products Of the farm. On
March II they organized the Portland
Producers & Consumers Corporation
with the following officers: President,
w. E. Sweetser. president of the Var
mouth farmers union; vice president,
B. w. Gibbs, Bridgton: treasurer,
Sarah A. Strout, president of the Ma
tional Housewives League, Portland
Branch; clerk, G. E. Hawks, Gray,

Since then another corporation has
been organized in Cumberland county

All kinds of queer inquiries and re-
quests come TO the various depart
ments at the State House. some of
them funny, because of the apparent
innocence in which they are made and
others funny on account of the ignor-
ance displayed. For instance, imagine
a New Yorker so little acquainted with
Maine as to write about the poisonous
snakes to be found there. with all the
Bone Dry" bills in process of passage
through the 18th Legislature? Yet the
secretary Of State last week received
the following from Brooklyn. N. Y:
II would thank you for information
as to what counties in your State are
the most infested by poisonous
snakes"
1t may be said that the letter came
from the American representative of
an antidote known through South
American countries as being absolutely
reliable against snake venom" SO that
may account for his anxiety.
1t was suggested that answer might
once have been made that Androscog-
gin, Cumberland and Penobscot had
once been badly infested, but that the
"Sarpints" were being gradually but
pretty effectually cleaned OUTPUT it
is understood that the department de-
cided not to mention any "has-been"
conditions and simply reply that we
have no venomous snakes In Maine.
Thank you for your kind attention.

after being organized they erected a
grain house on the line of the NJ C.

chasing grain in car-lots. The mem

over 100 and they have outgrown their
present quarters. To meet the re-

business they have purchased lot

building sufficiently large to meet
any possible increase in the business

GRANDMoTHER'S BOTANIC MEpI.
CINE

In every pioneer home the botanic
recipes Of our grandmothers for the
treatment of disease were wonder
fully dependable. Every fall she
gathered her various herbs: thorough
wort, camomile, sage. pennyroyal.
NORWOOD, rue, etc. 1t is interesting
to note that Lydie E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound, the most sue
cessful remedy for female ills we have.
was originally prepared for home use
from one of these botanic recipes, and
the demand for this famous medicine
has grown until over 100000 pounds of
roots and herbs are used annually in
its preparation. 1t will well repay any
woman who suffers from female ills
to give this famous medicine trial..
