That a close relationship exists be

Is asserted In Good Health by Martin
Nevins. Grip and colds, says Mr.. Ney-
tns, are germ diseases. Germs are
floating about us In the air. We

He goes on
''It is only when one thing or anoth-
or disturbs our health equilibrium that
the bugs manage to gain foothold
In our system 1t may be injudicious
eating, it may be lack of fresh air, but
most frequently it is some kind of ex-
posure-getting the feet wet-that lays
the fortress open to them.
1T is not at all hard to get your feet
wet. And that is where the sidewalk
comes in. The ordinary sidewalk is q

any slope to drain it.
'4I'he condition is aggravated If there

The natural result is a harvest OF grip
epidemics and any number OF colds,
bronchitis and lung troubles. And tu-
berculosis, too--this disease can often
be traced to sidewalks, since 1t usually
starts with some simple lung affection.

Another week has passed and
our internal labor troubles are no
nearer solution than theyfwere the
day men and women struck at the
two big plants of the Niles Tool
Works company and the Shuler &
Benninghofen Wooden Mills. The
strikes Of course should have been
settled a long time before the stu
alton became SO acute that men
choose sides to fight for which they
think is right.
Through the efforts of several
business men last week another at
tempt was made to have the pro-
prietors of the Woolen Mills meet
committee of the Textile Work
ers. The business men were sue
cessful in so far as to have the pro-
prietors OF that concern agree to
meet the committee and for the
purpose of possibly coming to some
understanding or settlement The
Textile Workers went to the mill
on Monday of last week with one
of the merchants and we are sorry
to state that nothing was gained.
The meeting only lasted about
three minutes, just long enough for
big BIZ Shuler to insult the
girls and the committee.
The committee was forced by
"Bilp' Shuler's excitable nature to
retire from the office, aud as the
girls say, it will be long time be
fore another committee will go to
the mill to meet Shuler.
In his rawlings Shuler of course
demanded a new committee, he did
not want the old committee to meet
him because he knew at a glance
that this committee came for busi-
ness and a real settlement If il
were to be had. No, he did not
want this committee because he al
50 knew that they were the back
bone Of the organization and that
they were qualified 10 make the
settlement in a business like man
ner. what Shuler wanted from
the strikers was a committee that
would not have the courage TO talk
to him while in his excitement, and
a committee that would tremDlt
and crawl at his feet and beg foi
mercy. A committee that would
say yes when he demanded yes and
no when he demanded no of them
A peculiar feature of this trouble
at the Woolen Mills is the absence
Of the three other members of the
firm when the committee made
their calls. Where were the other
memberso of this firm when the com
mittee called Is it a fact that
Bill Shuler is the only member
of the firm that has the power tc

What is readily accorded the
greatest demonstration ever made
in this city was the farewell ten

tables for which were set in the
middle OF Market street, next the
Y. M. c. A. building. The meal
was served by members of the can

parade as II was, nothing like 1t

must have been FIVE thousand men
in line representing all walks of
life. Every organization in the
city had a place in line. The
Eagles were Their again IN their
usual strong manner, they also had
a pretty float, the only one in the

others that space forbids OF their
enumeration. But there is one or

This society secured the Mid

their banners and flags flying

not be fair to all parties concerned
that if Shuler demands a new com
NEE that a new member of the firm
meet the committee instead of
Bill" Shuler. Perhaps if this
was considered and the bull head
edness' eliminated a satisfactory
settlement might be arranged
The committee from the Textile
Workers Union was selected by
the entire membership of that or
ganization. The members selected
them because they knew that they
were intelligent and capable of
handling their affairs. This the
committee has tried hard to do and
while they are objectional to Shuler
they are satisfactory TO the mem
bers of the Textile Workers I'm
ion. What Shuler wants is a com
mittee that will gree to come back
to work without the old committee
and the officers of the union. This
they will never agree to and it
would be foolish to think of it.
This is the trick to bust the union
and TO single out the best members
OF the textile workers and leave
them out in the cold
This strike could be settled in

of our citizens who are so over

trouble settled would use their

The main obstacle that is hold
ing back the settlement of this
strike is "PRlDE" Shuler can
net realize that the textile workers
are human the same as he is, and
when he does he will make salts

should PRIDE" stand in the
way of better working conditions

" September Morn" brought with her
a breath of the days gone by in Salem
when musical comedies fitted through
almost every week and were greeted
