president Of the international League,
said today.
The International has probably re-
ceircd the hardest blows of any minor
in existence since 1912. Wrecked by the
fcdcrals. flooded by rains, it has strug-
gled hravely along. This year. which
promised 10 be good one, rains have
postponed many games and war threat
ems to cause more trouble. Two Of the
internationally clubs are in Canada,
where the war spirit has made itself felt
since 1914 These two clubs have suf-
fered greatly.
Barrows statement was made after
hraring that the North Carolina League
had disbanded.

PRINTERS TO CELEBRATE
Silver Jubilee of the Home to Be Com.
memorated Next August.

Silver Jubilee of the Home to Be Com.
memorated Next August.
Two events Of unusual interest to
printers will take place at Colorado
Springs the second week OF next Au-
gust They are the silver jubilee OF the
founding of the Union Printers home
at Colorado Springs and the sixty-third
annual convention of the International
typographical union.
The Union Printers home idea got
It's initial impetus from a gift of $10-
600 from George W. Childs Of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger and An
thony j. Drexel, Philadelphia banker,
In 1888. For several years this sum
was added TO by voluntary gifts OF
printers and by several assessments on
the membership until In March, 1891,
the trustees awarded contract TO con-
struct the main edifice at cost OF
100000. In the meantime the board of
trade of Colorado Springs had donated
q tract OF eighty acres on which to
erect the home.
It was decided at the Boston session
OF the convention the following year
that the anniversary OF the birthday
OF George w Childs May II. 1852,
! should be celebrated by the dedication
of the new institution, and this was
carried out with elaborate ceremonies,
including speeches by eminent states
men from various parts OF the coun-
try.
OF the subsequent growth and i'm
portance of this enduring monument
to the benedcent instincts Of trade
unionism, it is only necessary to refer
to recent history.
| In twenty-five years, from very
small nest egg, comparatively, this In
sdtution has grown to its present mag
nifcent proportions. Today its physi-
cal valuation is rated at more than a
million and O half dollars. In ten
| years more who can estimate what the
place viii be? Every printer In the
| Jurisdiction Of the parent union is
proud of the institution and never OBJ
tects or hesitates TO meet the ohliga-
lions 10 enlarge It's growth and eff
cheney. He is joint stockholder in the
great corporation and entitled to share
in all It's benefcence when the time
shall have come for him to receive his
dividends
The home was originally known-ofi-
cially and otherwise-es the Childs.
/ Drexel Home For Union Printers and
was so designated up TO the time OF
the convention at Detroit in 1899, when
its name was changed by resolution tc
that of Union Printers home.
In connection with the coming ceIe.
bration the Query club of New York
city, a social organization Of union
printers, has planned a tour 20 the
convention city, with an itinerary that
embraces most OF the points of inter
est between New York and Colorado
More than 30 reservations on the sight
seeing train have already been made
and many more are sure to start

Frequent Discharge of Employees Low
ors Efficiency of Men.
IL manufacturers wish TO combat the
serious shortage of labor, which is
growing greater every day, they must
find work to ft the men and not men
to suit the work, according to a state
ment issued recently by DR.. John Price
Jackson, commissioner OF the Pennsyl-
Vania state department OF labor and
industry, bureau OF employment.
The greatest work that these heads
of Industries can do for themselves
and the nation IN period when men
are so seriously needed IS to lessen the
percentage of turnover" which is en-
hrely too high In Philadelphia and
throughout the state; otherwise, Or.
Jackson says, it wiz be impossible TO
contribute 100 per cent efficiency 10
the nation in the war emergency.
"Some employers are doing every
thing In their power to find the right
Job for every man who applies" said
DR.. Jackson but others are so busy
that II a man does not make good on
the Job for which he was hired he is
dismissed and another man hired. This
process is expensive to the employer.
4In large industry employing many
types Of workmen nearly every man
who is willing to work can succeed In
some position or other. To let him go
is 10 sacrifice the time and effort spent
to get him In these days Of more jobs
than men. Looking at the question
from the larger viewpoint OF the good
Of the nation, the biggest sacrifice Is
the loss OF the workman's time-time
that should be utilized In production.

Are Shut down Tignt.
Thompson S0yS Indefinitely,
The Men Soy NeDbe"

The Champion Coated Paper
Company closed down its mills in
their entirety Monday night This
was done after vain attempt to
get enough men to go back in to
continue operation. The plant
is completely boarded up; notices
of closing are posted around in va
rious places and watchmen have
been placed on duty to guard the
property
President Peter G.. Thompson
of the company says the mills are
closed indefinitely He says they
are short on business right now and
may not open up again until Octo-
Der or November and maybe not
then. He also says when they do
get ready to open they will start
with a small force and gradu-
ally build up an efficient force such
as they had previous to the strike
The men say, however, that it
isn't true that the company is short
on orders at this time and that if
the mills were operating they
would have as much as they could
handle. They ask why, if there is
nothing to do, did the company
make such desperate efforts to con
tinue operation under a two shift
plan, offering the men who would
stay in the extra compensation they
would otherwise pay the third
Shift.
They also say that there ism
much chance Of a mill valued al
two or three million dollars laying
idle and rotting just to humor the
whim of the president of the com
pany who is accustomed to having
his subordinates jump through Z
hoop and back again at the cracl
of his whip, and that after few
days of the cooling breezes and wa
ters up about Charlevoix his heateo
brow will again be at normal ano
he will then be back and afte

OF his ways everything will be set

Protest

Many protests and complaints
are being registered against the
men who are acting as guards
about the property of the Champi-
on and Niles companies Judging
from their appearance one would
think the Kaiser and his army
were about to invade the city from
the northwest During the night
they fire these guns of occasionally
and make a great fuss about some
one trying to get in the mills or
foundry for the purpose of blowing
them up.
They lay and sneak around up
in the hills with these great guns
and create such pictures of terror
that the women and children in
that part of the city are afraid to

Is a gear required with teeth on the

The metallurgist is asked not only to
discover the formula for a steel out Of
which a part can he made and which
must be examined with the microscope
to detect the wear 70 which it has
been subjected after having run 10000

NEW MIRACLES OF STEEL.
What the Laboratory Has Done For the
Automobile Maker.

What the Laboratory Has Done For the
Automobile Maker.
Writers of historical fiction perpet-
uate the notion that the art OF the
old armorer has perished And yet In
cars sold for only few hundred dol
lars axles and crank shafts are to be
found infinitely superior in texture to
the weapons of famous swordsmiths
The tales Of supple yet tough blades
that could be bent into circles without
swapping are eclipsed in the less art
fully phTased reports Of tests conduct
ed with crank shaft steel in the metal
lurgical laboratory Of any large auto
mobile factory,
Could the old swords be twisted
through six complete turns before they
broke? An axle shaft can be so twist
ed. What was the tensile strength Of
the mace that Godfrey Of Bouillon or
Richard Of the Lion Heart wielded7
How far, in other words, could it have
been stretched lengthwise before 1t
parted? No one knows.
But the automobile metallurgist Is
sure that it was not the equal In that
respect Of a modern valve stem-a
slim little member that can be extend
ed half its length in a testing machine
before it snaps in two.
AS soon as the metailurgist discover
ed that the properties of steel could be
subtly changed by the addition of very
small quantities of such elements as
chromium, carbon. manganese, nickel
tungsten or yaNadium AIS soon, in 9th
er words, as the problem Of making
the automobile durable and safe had
been solved by Iescarch--the designer
yentured to consider the economics of
motoring Heavy automobiles endure,
but they consume much fuel, and they
wear out expensive tires very rapidly.
Light automobiles are more cheaply

Some gray headed men who grew up
In New England remember the custom
that prevailed in many families OF max

If too much was taken the discipline Of

back to it. Waste is never justified In
