Union Official Is Booed

Morris Zigmund, Of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, was
booed when he declared the meeting
was irregular and had not been called
by the union and that the unemployed
if they wished relief should have called
on their officers for it.
ave want work, not talk" came from
all parts Of the hall, when he began
10 explain the effect Of the war on the
cloak trade.
BENJAMIN Schlessinger. president Of
the union. issued a statement after the
meeting in which he disclaimed respon-
sibility for the meeting and declared the
suffering among the unemployed is
very great. Relief had been promised,
he said, by the War Department and
the Board of Control. Relations with
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, he
said. were amica5lc.

1900 Unemployed Howl
Down Union Officials in
Webster Hall

Crying 1--WE want work." 800 unem-
ployed cloakmakers who met in Web
ster Hall yesterday refused 10 listen
to addresses by national officers Of
the International Garment Workers
Union, adopted resolutions asking that
a Federal employment bureau be es-
tablished in New York and named a
committee to take up the situation Of
the unemployed with the Department
of Labor in Washington.
This committee will meet Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, at the Hotel Con-
tinental tomorrow. On the conference
will depend whether Mr.. Gompers will
present their case at Washington or
arrange for the committee itself to ap-
pear in person. Lack of money for
railroad fares makes the former al
tentative the more likely to be adopted.
Charles Lepina, chairman of COM
mittee formed az q meeting OF the un-
employed last week, reported inability
to secure work or any definite promise
of relief for the 10000 idle cloak
makers through the officers Of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union.
Says 5000 Jobs Are Vacant
He advocated the establishment Of /.

permission to take il unless he pro-
cured a pass from the Amalgamated,
a rival union. This pass. ne said. he
was unable to get. He had personally
located scores of vacant machines in
uniform factories, and had heard
through others of 5000 vacant jobs.
This" he concluded. "is a con
spiracy against the government, which
needs the uniforms as much as We
need the work of making them
Henry Miller charged that the Anal
gamated Union objected to allowing
members Of the cloakmakers' union to
work because full labor supply might
lower prices.
Joseph Chykin declared that the
cloak manufacturers Of New YORK
would gladly make uniforms. The only
thing that stood IN the way of this
work. e.said, was the Board of Control
of Labor Standards, which had p laced
an unlawful monopoly in the hands Of

In Retrospect.

In contrast to the gayeties of sea-
sons past, society has in prospect a
quieter one than any in the memory
of social leaders here, and elsewhere.
Gradually as the world-war pro-
crosses the customary expressions of
social life are curtailed and altered
until society has developed a differ
ent phase from any known in the
past Those returning from summer
resorts will, of course, find conditions
almost completely changed.
Entertainments, except those OF
the simplest possible nature, are in
deed things of the past. However,
youthful bouancy will find an outlet
in dances, but these will lack the
dash and color of those of yore.
Knitting parties, Red Cross lunch
cons, and sales, and war relief bene-
fits of various kinds, will supercede
the gayer functions of before the
war, and the weddings of soldier
bridegrooms and their brides will be
simple ceremonies in contra-distinc-
ton to the pretentious ones of other
days.

FEW LOAFERS IN PARIS.

1t is a very rare thing to see a
loafer on the streets of Paris now.
The vigorous campaign inaugurated
against the vagrant and shiftless
class several months ago by the city
and county authorities had the eff
feet of driving them to other places
or of obtaining work of some kind.
There are a few, of course, who
toll not nor soil their dainty hands
by doing manual labor, but in
every community there are some GER
tain fellows whom the ravens would
feed if kind-hearted relatives should
cut off their food supply. There is
no excuse for anybody being idle in
or around Paris just now. With the
departure of the Bourbon county
boys, sixty-three vacancies in some
lines of employment have been Gre
ated, and there Will be many more.
Someone will have to replace them
in the work necessary to carry on
that which they left to go to the
front.

ment of and zest in life are a con-
slant source of life supply.
Old age ought to be the happiest
period Of life, particularly for a wo-
man. If she has kept her mind &C
tive and has wisely refused to settle
into the dull rut that people always
have ready for her, she can begin in
old age to enjoy life in earnest
In old age there is no more worry
about the babies, no more suffering
for others. The children are grown
up, and, if her part has been we'll
done, they are prop and solace
to her. Grand children are delight
without the bitter, constant worry.
The woman grown old in years
should be at her best mentally. She
is free to indulge her tastes, enjoy
a good book and the conversation of
genial minds.
Women retain their vitality and
spirits longer than men do. The bur-
dens of life fall from them gradually,
and the peace of retirement from ac-
tive duties come upon them little by
little and almost imperceptibly.

PULL TOGETHER-D0N'T KNOCK

Every day THE NEWS sees things
that might be legitimately criticised.
It could follow on the trail of any
public official, city of county, and
make life miserable for him by pick
ing flaws in his work, magnifying
his small mistakes, or by harping on
minor oversightS or omissions.
It could keep the community more
or less in a state of turmoil, make
enemies where friendship have ex-
listed, and promote discord generally.
But is this the time for such things?
We do not think such a course is
justified at any time by a newspaper,
and certainly not now, when, If ever
in the Nations history, all our peo-
ple ought to stand shoulder to
shoulder in united and harmonious
accord. Unnecessary agaitation, nag
cling and fault-fnding should be
frowned down.
Such things hurt the community's
reputation; they hurt business; they
destroy the spirit of unity and effort
which it takes to build up a city.
No man should be encouraged in dis
rupting the peace of community,
no matter what his excuse, or how
loud -mouthed may be his protesta-
lions of good intentions. Let's keep
together and Keep business as
usual"

Studying The War.

THE NEWS trusts its suggestion
that the school, children of Bourbon
county devote some study to the war
will not fall upon barren ground.
There is no other channel in which
their minds can be turned with more
profit to themselves and their nation.
War is uppermost in this country
to-day, and with the active prepare
ton of the United States increases as
the struggle continues interest will
naturally grow more acute.
The children should have the OPP
portunity of being thoroughly con-
versant with the principal facts
about it. They should know the caus-
es which led the nation into war, the
principal battles which have been
fought, the commanders of the arm
les, and all the important details that
a school history gives of the other
wars in which the United States has
been involved.
For them to know these things is to
make their year in school infinitely
more valuable from a practical stand
point, but above this consideration is
the patriotism it inspires.
When the boys and girls of Bour-
bon county learn, from daily study,
the righteousness of the cause for
which we are battling: when they
are made to understand the faithless-
ness and the dishonor of the German
Government; when they come to a
knowledge of the enormity of the
crimes which the Kaiser has commit
ted against civilization, they be-
come better patriots and better Amer
4cans
Their influence will extend
throughout the home, and it will
have the result of lighting the fires
Of patriotism in Bourbon country to
burn as they have never burned be-
fore
By all means let every graded and !
rural school teacher in the county |
give their pupils daily lessons about |
the war. We know of no better way |
for them to edo their bit"
