NIGHT SHADOWS IN RUSSIA

The particular journey herein re-
corded fell on a white night in June

Olive Gilbreath writes in the Yale Re

Without these blue guards sleep is
out OF the question and the senses, pur-

as ragged as the beggars staring
out of the stations. Yerst after verst,
hour after hour, the plain unwlnds end
lessly, monotonously, like wool from
a skein. A pale incandescence hangs
over the earth, fringing objects ghost

crow phenomenally large; izbas and
windmills scrape the sky. A tremor
Of primitive terror runs through ones

liverance-but there is not even 4 rise

horizon; at 2 80 it balances again like
a replenished bag, splitting its orange

restless cycle has begun again, and
still the plain unwinds endlessly, mo-
notonously-brightly now. At seven
one reaches Nizninovgorod. IL it is
June, the sun has been up five hours.

ALL CALLED ON TO WORK
Necessity for Some Useful Occupation
Must Be Apparent to Every Ono
at This Time.

Labor has gained throughout the
last year in the feeling and thought
Of the world. The strain and perils Of
the times have brought an unusually
sober and reflective state of mind. Men
and women have been more than COM
monty concerned with the gravest
problems of existence. They have
given more than the ordinary consid-
Grafton to the needs and dangers Of
life.
All this has contributed to the dig
nifty and honor of hard work. Never
was there more general recognition
of the necessity of meeting real trials
manfully and playing a mans part in
the serious business of living. Never
In recent times was it more difficult
to shirk without discredit or spend
the crowded years in idleness without
forfeiting respect and reputation. The
world has so much to do, so many
great tasks crowded upon its mental
and physical resources that work is
more than ever before the plainest and
most vital duty of ali who have
strength for service.

HELPS WORKERS IN DENMARK
Labor Insurance Law Has Been
Proved of Material Benefit to
People in That Country.

In 1907 Denmark enacted labor
insurance law. Fully III, 900 persons
and 60 per cent Of the workmen in
Denmark are now insured. (The pro-
portion is 70 per cent of the men in
surable and % per cent of the insur-
able women.) Practically all the in
dustriai laborers are insured under the
act.
Within the limits prescribed by the
law, the conditions Of unemployment
insurance vary with each fund. The
dues vary from the minimum of S1.4O
paid by the unsbilled workmen to the
maximum of 81 per year paid by the
workers in stucco. The daily st-
pend is one, one and a half, or two
krone according to the financial status
of the fund. A krone is equal to about
81 cents. The period of payment runs
from so days in the year allowed the
unskilled laborers to the maximum OF
16O allowed the printers. The total
amount of the benefits paid in 1912
was S459,S10, of which 53.S per cent
was distributed by the members; 31.9
per cent by the state, and 14.3 per cent
by the communes. The sums spent
in aid of unemployment from all
sources for the five years, during
which the act has been in operation,
amounts to S1,755,00O.

unionists Defined.

Wage workers, members in good
standing of the union of the trade or
calling at which they are employed,
who realize as a fundamental prin-
ciple the necessity of unity Of all their
fellows employed at the same trade or
calling; who recognize the vital, logical
extension, growth and development of
all unions of all trades and callings
and who strive for the unity, fedora
ton, cooperation, fraternity and soil
darity of all organized wage earners;
who can and do subordinate self for
the common good and always strive
for the common uplift; who decline to
limit the sphere of their activity by
any dogma, doctrine or ism-finally,
those organized wage workers who
fearlessly and mistakenly maintain and
contend that the trade unions, the
trade union movement, are paramount
to any other form Of organization or
of labor in the world, are
the ideal unionists.
