Red Cross Meets Today

The regular Tuesday .meeing Of the Mesa Red Cross will be held this afternoon at. 2:30 o'clock in the K. of P. hall. The women have been very busy knitting this past week and more than one society matron has gone humbly to some old grand mother and invoked aid in the old new art of knitting. An aged wo- man was sitting in a local drug store the other day industriously at work on yarn sent out oy the Red Cross and two regulars from the dam were looking at her.
 Kid" said one to the other, may be I'll get that sweater over in France and the second replied with a tender sort of look on his strong, tanned face, The women are all busy helping us, ain't they2" which leads one to consider that it's a long shot from where the uniform of d United States regular was a badge If ostracism. to the present. when dothing is too good for one of Uncle Sans laddies.

 are as follows: We had hoped that the District could ultimately own Block 15, as well as Block 13. The gas company, however, must make certain improve ments immediately, and must make them on either Block 15 or on Block 13. Our choice as between the two blocks would be Block 15, the purchase of which will give the District two contin- uous blocks-the Grand School blocK, and the aforesaid block adjoining it on the east, now owned by the gas com pany. We regard the market value of Blocks Is and 13 as practically the same; and certainly Block l5 is the more valuable to the district.

URGES ACTION ON
 WAR LIBRARY FUND

MESA, Oct. so. s. Stapley is in receipt of a telegram from Con F. Cronin, state librarian, who has been appointed to superintend the gathering of a fund of $2,000, which is Arizona's apportionment in the war library fund which is being raised for the soldiers.
 This telegram states that a num- Der of Arizona towns have raised their apportiOnment in full and oth- CTS have been heard from as making active progress, put that nothing has been heard from Mesa. MT. Cronin urges that the live town of Mesa be not in the stacker class in this worthy enterprise. The amount asked of Mesa is $100, and save for a benefit performance given by Will liam Menhennet at the Majestic the ater nothing has been done. A full house on the night of the benefit at 25 cents seat would have about raised the entire amount but for lack of interest in the matter it is | fact that the attendance on the night of the benefit was rather less than usual It now is up to Mesa to make good on her part of, the war library fund, by which the best anu newest DoohS ana magazines will be secured and go very far toward alleviating the home sick ness and loneliness of the men who have gone and will go to France. lt has been suggested tbat this is d worthy move for the Commercial club, the Women's club or some other well organized local insti- tuition. It is evident from the liber- ality of Mesa citizens wherever tested, that this little fund can be easily raised if some organization will take hold of it in earnest.

JKIND THINGS ABOUT
IN JAIL
under a statute making it unlawful
to SANDER deceased persons, even
though they have no living relatives,
the Socialist was unable to substan-
tiate his accusations by historic doc
Uments.
The jury's verdict created wide
spread surprise. Few people even
know of the existence Of such law,
though it is on the books of many
states.
Haffer's case, with its comprehen-
sive precedent, makes it dangerous
to inludge in criticism Of national
heroes, even though they may have
died hundred years ago.
Iconoclasts must have the FACTS
before they can with impunity begin
smashing pedestals.
Col. JOab's irate defense of Wash
ington's memory, 1856 years after his
birth, contrasts oddly with the SOL
dier-statesman's own broad toler-
ance and lack of hero worship.
George Washington lives in the
hearts of his countrymen," was
Joab's explanation, "and no one is
going ITO defame his memory while I
am alive to resent it"
And a jury helped Joab keep the
Father of His CoUntry's" great
name untarnished.
Soft you don't really believe the
story about Washington and the lit
tie red Ratchet, the story that he
NEVER lied like other mortals, you'd
better keep the doubt to yourself.
Otherwise you might find yourself

ONE REASON FOR THE STRIKE
OF VAUDEVILLE ACTORS
BY James William Fitzpatrick, Inter-
national President White Rats
Actors Union.
We had to strike, and in my per-
sOnal belief, and the belief of the
officials associated with me who have
had much more experience in labor
matters than have, it is the strang-
est strike on record. It is a strike to
enforce. the provisions of the law of
the land. It is a strike to, punish
criminals when the law, through
their money, through their political
pull, " and through their influence,
will not punish.
It is a sad commentary on the Off
Gals Of this country when men and
women have to strike to make other
persons observe this coUntry's laws.
This may appear exaggerated and
like the wild rawlings of most strike
leaders, but read:
The employment agency law of the
state of New York, which is contain
ed in Article X of the General Bust
ness Law, Chapter 700 of the Laws
of 1910, states:
The gross fees charged by such
licensed persons to applicants for
vaudeville or circus engagements by
one or more licensed persons, indi-
vidually or collectively, procuring
such engagement, shall not in any
case exceed 5 per centum of the sal
airy or wages paid"
This I think have proved in the
preceding instruments, but, in case
you have forgotten it, let me here
state positively that, to the best of
my knowledge and belief, there is not
one vaudeville actor in this country
who is not being charged more than
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-02-09

ployment agency under this article
shall not receive or accept any valu-
able thing or gift as a fee or in lieu
thereof"
Nearly every agent hints at pres
ents. One man in New York always
tells the actors that he accepts
nothing but silverware," and his
house, so l am informed, is a veri-
table museum of costly, rare and
valuable silver articles, some for use
and some for ornament.
This side grating is so well known
that even the Office boys, as you walk
out of the agents Office, tell you what
they would like, one negro Office
boy in New York always murmuring
to the actors: Il smoke Hassans."
Presents Of 500 in cash are al
ways welcome, but no checks are
taken, and the agents base their de-
mand for this upon the statement
that the United Booking Office, this
is, the trust, takes ~ per cent, and
they can't live on 212 per cent.
The White Rats have this in writ
ing over the signature of these
agents, and yet the officials charged
with the enforcement of this law
allow this to go on.
Further, not only in New York,
but in Chicago, are there scores of
agents working without a license,
and for that license they are sup
posed to pay a certain fee, and thus
they are defrauding the city of Chi
cagO out of many hundreds Of dol
lars per annUm.
The law is clear, but it is more
clearly violated.
We have tried Tammany magis-
trates, we have tried anti-Tammany
magistrates. We have tried judges,
but everywhere we went we were up
