long to a union

With the report of the commits
sion, appointed by President Viii
son to investigate the deportation
of more than a thousand striking
copper workers from Bisbee, Ariz.,
last July, new light has been
shed on this affair and the methods
employed by big business.
The strikers involved were not
l W. W, but members of bona
6de labor unions affiliated with the
A F of L, and the dastardly out
rage was perpetrated with the one
object of destroying the principle
of collective bargaining and render
ing the miners servile to the whims
of the copper barons.
The commission in its report Sc
verely criticizes those persons re-
sponsible for the deportation, stat
ing that it was wholly illegal and
without authority in law, either
state mr. federal The commission
also found that the whole affair
was planned by a number of Bis
bee citizens, Including officers of
the Phelps Dodge and Calumet &
Arizona mining interests.
But there isn't anything 50 bad
but what some good will come out
of IT, In this instance it is a warn
ing to the public not to be too
hasty in forming opinions regard
ing the differences between en-
ployer and employees from what
they read in the daily press.

These two precious specimens In
habited the same nest.
They worked toward the same
goal, and used the same means,
engaged In disruptirg the labor
movement. 1t has been as much
part of their job as has been the
work of undermining the Ameri-
can government.
The American Federation of La
Dor branded both heads of this
Bolsheviki beast.
No American workingman has
now any excuse for being rnisled
by the soft words and cunning
phrases OF the agent provocateur
who comes clothed in the doubtful
garb of fake labor organization.
The pacifists and the dualists are
branded. There can not be any
mistake about what they mean or
what they are after this.

Now unionists, let's show the
consideration for our brothers and
sisters, the Retail Clerks, that we
would like for them to show us
were we In their position. Let's
keep out of the stores at night,
let's keep eur families and our
friends out. We can do 1t just as
we'll as not. In other cities, the
size of Hamilton and larger, the
stores are not open any evening,
and they have no trouble In doing
their shopping, so why can't we
do it here3 BY doing this we can
do our "bit" by the clerks and
they will appreciate it very much.

AS we said last week the hre es-
cape is up. We believe we extend
ed thanks to the persons that made
X possible and made conditions
safe for the tenants. We are now
informed that since the installation
of this most needy asset to the
Verona the rents of the tenants
have been increased accordingly.
OF course these tenants don't mind
a little matter of that sort, so long
as they have the satisfaction of
peering out of the windows these
CAD blasted bloomin' cold days and
watch the hre escape.

Labor unions are all right but
they ask for more money FOR their

what we don't like. They re never

satisfied with what we think they

mines cannot stand great heights. 1t
is almost an invariable rule that
miner will get dizzy and uneasy If you

will try TO get back to earth as soon

Rank with Ancestors,

The women OF today are not infe-
rlor in any way to their ancestors
They may have adopted some Gus
toms that the world would have diff.
ferent but so far as the women them
selves are concerned, they are, as a
rule. just as good and virtuous as
their grandmothers ever dreamed of
being.
No country in the world ever pro-
duced finer class OF women than
America has today. but II is to be re-
GREETED that the women of the land
have adj pied styles and customs that
subject the sex to criticism and that
give In many cases public offense.
The present immodest style of
dress has stolen its march upon the
womanhood of the land so gradually
that the moral consciousness of null
titudes Of good women has been
blunted as to Its unfavorable impress
sion and its pernicious influence.
IF many OF our good women really
knew the impression they make and
the influence for evil they exert by
the manner OF dress, they would has
tily change their manner OF dressing.

and issued a warning to all motor
| and wagon drivers to avoid this cor
ner and the corner at Fourteenth and
H streets northwest, as much as
| possible.
A survey OF downtown traffic con-
ditIons today revealed that major
construction work is being carried
out in three parts of the downtown
section, two of these locations being
the centers OF the city's heaviest traf-
fic. The work at Fifteenth and g
streets northwest, however, is the
heaviest.
At Fifteenth street and New York
avenue the Capital Traction Company
will remove its outworn switch at
that point and substitute a triangular
switch with a "leg" connecting the
Fourteenth street and Chevy Chase
lines tracks on New York avenue
with the Georgetown line tracks to
the west.
ConEeEtion For TIVE Months.
This work will congest traffic con-
ditions to an almost paralyzing e1-
tent for the next two months, It was
declared today. The work Of putting
in the new switch is doubly hamper
ed by the inability of the company
10 get sufficient labor. 1t Is impos-
sible, gang foremen said today, to
supply enough men to make night
work possible.
When this switch is completed the
Chevy Chase car "switch-back" on
New York avenue will be eliminated.
The Peace Monument loop for "trip
pers''-short-run cars placed on the
schedule during the rush hours-will
be practically eliminated also. These
"trippers," along with the Chevy
Chase cars, will be run over the
Speedway loop" to be constructed
along Nineteenth street to the Speed
way. with an intermediate loop for
short-schedule cars.
Grade Raising ConEestE.
While the work at Fifteenth street
and New York avenue ties up traffic
there, another gang OF workmen is
engaged In raising the grade of the
Capital Traction tracks at Fourteenth |
and H streets, at the Washington |
Railway and Electric cross-over.
This work has resulted In the COM |
plete closing of H street at Fourteenth |
from the east Traffic using the
block on H street, between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets, must en-
ter by way of Fifteenth street.
Resurfacing operations have COM
pIetely closed Thirteenth street north

fore October IS, II Is believed. Re
operations are nearing COM

EVERY RECORD SHATTERED.

Every record ever established for business in Hot Springs is shattered in the success of this 1917 seascn. There was. in the opinion of some the belief that the frs, year of the opening cs the Eastman hotel, the bus. iness was larger fhan before or since. There were some who thought that the season of l2 years ago was bigger than others.
 The ,ubject had been one of some comment therefore on investigation was made which revealed that Moa- day in the Eastman hote there were more people hou'ed there than ever had been housed in one o6 the largest hostelrIes in the South The figures were given.
 The success of this season is not confined as much 10 hotels this year as 1t had formerly been. which shows that the success Of this season to all the people here can never be meas ared. but that il has been overwhelm. ingly greater than anybody had ex. pected.
