CCLXXIX
WHILE it is fresh on my mind l VIII
w tell about that selling stunt that
Mr.. Benton put over when he was
young man selling made-to-measure
clothes.
He worked for a Chicago house which
appointed exclusive agents in small
towns In big cities they used to ap-
point agents in each district
Benton landed in Barrport, Illinois,
little bit of a place where there were
only three people who sold clothes-two
were selling regular clothes and the
other was selling mems furnishing goods
as well.
Benton called on the two tallors first
and got turned down in double quick
order, Then he went to the mems fur
nishings store and the same thing hap
pened there.
He mosed back to the hotel. or the
atroclty they called a hotel, to wait for
the next train out of town. He felt
pretty bad because this. was the first
town he had struck where he hadn't been
able to appoint an agent.
Now the fellow who kept the hotel was
one of those freak guys who was fond
of tacklng up "inspiration dope all over
the place, and while Benton was slttlhB
in a lobby chair he happened to notice
one Of these efficiency dope" cards
which said: "A mans bigness is shown
by the way he tackles an emergency"
| That seemed to get under Benton
skin and he thought, Nov isn't there
some way in which l can take this
emergency and show that / am big
man."
It was still only about 10 o'clock so
he decided to go to some little place
nearby and come back to Barrport in
! the afternoon.
1T amt no use in your doing that,
said the hotel proprietor
why not?" said Benton.
! Zoos, why not?" said the old chap
Zoos there won't be nobody working
that's the Zoos, why not !"
'How's that?" said Benton, a bit
! puzzled

WAR DEMANDS PERFECT
ORGANIZATION.

A tremendous amount of material
is necessary to equip properly our
armies at the front. To secure this
equipment will require the most per-
feet organization of our forces at
home and the highest possible stan
dard of efficiency.
1t will require that our industrial
disputes be abandoned, at least until
the war is over, not by the process of
crushing the worker or the employer
into submission, but by the process of
of doing justice to both parties and to
the public at large.
The mediation service of the de-
partment of labor is working out the
settlement of many hundreds of dis
putes, principally before they reach
the strike stage, and consequently be-
fore they have any news value for
the public press. Still more compre-
hensive plans are under consideration
by the Council of National Defense
which, if put into operation with the
approval of the great masters of in
dustry and the trade unions of the
country, will eliminate all serious
troubles until we have disposed of the
common enemy.-Secretary of Labor
w. B. Wilson.

BANS PRIVATE CARS.

Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo has refused the request of Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt to use a private
car to go from New York to the south.
A few days ago James B. Duke of
the American Tobacco Co. was ac-
corded similar treatment. The direc-
tor general has ruled that private
cars may be used when 40 tickets are
purchased and all of the space is
filled. Since the government took
control of the railroads permits for
only three private cars have been
granted. One carried the governor
general of Canada and his suite from
Ottawa to Washington to visit Presi-
dent Wilson. The second was to a
French mission travelling from New
York to Richmond, and the third for
Lord Reading, the English ambas-
sador, and was routed from New
York to Washington.

u. S. Gov. Endorses
Plea for Children
POORLY FED CHILDREN ARE
REFLECTED IN DRAFT.
Malnutrition During Childhood is
Cause of Many Reflections
Under Draft Law.

The government has officially in-
dorsed organized labor's plea for
well-fed, well-cared-for children, that
coming generations may be strong
and vigorous.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
announces that as a result Of investi-
cations by the federal public health
service of the causes for reflections
for physical defects under the draft
law, it has been established that mall
nutrition during childhood is one of
the avoidable troubles.
"In view Of the increasing economic
stress occasioned by the war;" it is
stated, "at least one valuable means
for enabling the rising generation to
pass unscathed through this period
consists in taking steps to see that
school children are provided at noon
with warm, properly balanced meal.
"The rising cost of living and lack
of general knowledge of healthful
substitutes for valuable articles of
food, which are steadily becoming
scarcer, emphasizes at this time the
necessity for making provision by
health authorities of hot, nutritious
meals for school children during the
noon hour"
To illustrate the value of properly
balanced diet, the public health serv-
ice. states that in certain orphan
asylums pellagra mysteriously made
its appearance. Investigation showed
that this disease did not affect the
young children or the older ones. The
former group was we'll fed because of
tender years and the latter group was
given proper food because they per-
formed work around the orphanage.
The public health service insisted
that the diet of the group of children
having pellegra be improved, where
upon the disease promptly disap-
peared.

LAW-AND- D-ORDERITES SLOWLY
FADE AWAY.

The law-and-o order committee of the
chamber of commerce of San Fran
cisco is peacefully passing into the
great beyond and the lurid anti-union
promises of this million-dollar band
remain untitled.
The views of thinking citizens on
this committee are shown in letter
written last year by Mayor Rolph to
its chairman, Frederick ]. Roster,
who was told that "neither you nor
the law-and- order committee Of the
chamber of commerce has earned by
any conspicuous devotion to law and
order the right to lecture me or the
police department.
Doubtless, you are disappointed" ,"
continued the mayor, because the pO-
lice have not yet turned machine
guns on crowds in our streets and
killed a few dozen strikers, including
the customary number of innocent
bystanders; but, with all respect to
your opinion, think the police do
we'll to enforce law and order as
firmly as they have done, but without
any quick or wanton slaughter Of the
people.
"Violent and bloody repression
has never maintained law and order
so effectually as frmness and COM
mon sense. 1t is unfortunate that
so many persons of your type in this
country are so incurably stupid and
ignorant about business and industry,
the very matters in which you are
most concerned, and in respect to
which you deem yourselves most en-
lightened. The world is changing all
around you, and you and your kind
don't know it any more than the czar
what was happening to him and Rus
sia, until it was all over. You still
believe in Napoleon's Whit Of grape
shot. You still think that industrial
discomfort can be quelled by the
policeman's club. Happily the rest
of US do not need to take you or your
law-and-order committee as seriously
as you take yourselves"

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING.

Evidences are accumulating that
the habit of saving among American
people, especially among the patrons
of savings banks and postal savings,
is outstripping the financial demands
made upon them by the Government.
While no exact figures are avail
able at present, it is known that
postal savings deposits have steadily
gained during the year 1917, and
notably since the first Of July of that
year, which was after the first issue
of the Liberty Loan
The reports from savings banks
also show steady gain, and the
same is true of cooperative building
and loan associations.
Nor have the people of small
means been the only savers. 1t is
estimated that the savings of the
whole people of the United States,
ordinarily $5,OOO,OOO,OOO to $6,OO0,-
100000 annually, were increased to
$14,OOO,000,0O0 to $15,000,000,000 in
1917.
The response of the people to the
national need of economy and saving
has been general and generous.

LABOR TURNOVER LARGE.

The United States senate COM
mittee which is Investigating the Hog
island shipping plant, financed by the
government, has found that during
one week in January the labor turn
over at this place amounted to 700
per cent. of the then working force.
That is, seven times as many new
men were brought to the island during
the week, as all the men at work, but
at the end of the week the force was
no Tger than at the beginning.
This was the worst week, but there
were several others when the turn
over was 300 per cent. or more, and
100 per cent. of men quitting in a
week was below the average.
Add to this that on much of the
work it was literally necessary to
keep five men for each job, in order
to relieve the men often enough to
enable them to thaw themselves out
and even then, of course, five men
could not do the work one man could
have done in normal weather-and
the thousands of men who had to be
kept on hand, beyond the estimates,
to unload and store the shipments of
material which, owing to the railroad
congestion, practically never arrived
on time, OF else arrived three or four
weeks ahead of time, to clutter up the
yard.

THE COURAGEOUS MAN.

The man who is courageous enough
to call attention to the pitfalls that
line the path of labor; the man who
believes he is in the right, and
knowing his stand will make him
most unpopular goes right ahead
without fear and with faith in the
justice of his cause; the man who is
ready to throw himself into the
breach, even though it means the
sacrifice of trade preferment, in order
to prevent hasty and ill-advised ac-
tion; the man who does not place self
above the interests of the entire
trade, is the individual in the labor
movement who has never received the
full measure of credit.-Commoner
and Glassworker.

DON'T CONSIDER YOURSELF so
WISE AS NOT TO READ THIS.

Why because you are probably y so
we'll versed on matters to be discussed
in the following lines that there is
no need of your reading it. Anyway,
no man ever grew so wise but that he
could grow still wiser by following
the old OWLS admonition bearing upon
silence. You know, my friend, there
are ways of doing things, and then
there are other ways, perhaps better,
of doing the same things. But, of
course, this is nothing to you, so you
had better not read it-because you
are such a wise one that, really, you
don't have to read it. Anyway, as we
said before, there are ways of doing
things, and this applies as strongly
to union matters as it does to any
thing else. Let US illustrate, says
the Garment Worker:
"You carry a card in your respect
i've organization, and you are gener-
ally known as a union fan. You like
everybody to "look up" to you and
your union; but here is where you
display a big chunk of inconsistency.
Why do you smoke unlabled cigars :?
Does a non-union hat fit your head
better than would one bearing the
label? The shirt on your back, the
collar and tie around your neck
why do you prefer the trademark of
some heartless manufacturer who has
arbitrarily placed his foot upon the
neck of Labor, vowing to hold it's
people in subjection through the man
ufacturers' Association? Who made
your coat and trousers-a sweatshop
owner and white slave traffcker =?
And your shoes-are they convict
made? You never thought of looking
for the shoe workers union stamp Z?
Thank you, | don't chew-but the
label isn't on that tobacco. Well,
we'll, you are a disciple of unionism,
sure enough-the brand that pushes
the business Of others who are seek
ing to kill all labor unions and scatter
our forces to the four winds Of the
earth. But, there, | knew you
wouldn't read this. Besides, it doesn't
concern you, anyhow.

Mooney Loses in
His Court Appeal
SUPREME COURT RENDERS AN
ADVERSE DECISION.
Court Unanimously Decides Against
the Appellant Now Under
Sentence of Death.

The workings of cold law is illus
trated by the California state su-
preme court, which has refused a
new trial to Thomas j. Mooney, under
sentence of death for completely in
the bomb outrage during prepared
ness parade, July 22, 1916.
After Mooney was convicted it was
discovered that the prOsecutiOn's s
principal witness, Frank C. Oxman,
had committed perjury. Oxman was
so thoroughly discredited that the
prosecution did not use him in the
trials of Mrs. Mooney and Israel
Weinberg, both of whom were ac-
quilted.
No reference to the Oxman perjury
is contained in the record Of the
Mooney trial, which the supreme
court acted on, though the judge who
presided at the Mooney trial notified
Attorney General Webb that if he
knew of Oxman's perjury before the
case left his hands he would grant
the defendant a new trial.
In dismissing Moneys appeal, the
state supreme court considered only
the record and looked for errors in
that document. The court, in unani-
NOUS decision, ruled that the trial
was conducted according to law and
that no errors were made by the
presiding judge.
By the stern application of the su-
preme courts theory, IL OXman, for
instance, confessed, after Mooney was
convicted, that he threw the bomb,
2a:.d MONEYS attorneys presented
this statement of Oxman's to the
court in their plea for new trial
that Mooney might be discharged,
the court would hold that it could only
consider the record of the trial, and
if this was regular Mooney must
hang, even if another confessed, as
the court can not go outside the
record.
AS the case now stands, it is be-
lieved Moneys only recourse is to
appeal to the governor, who has
power to release the accused or COM
mute his sentence.

lack of understanding. How many
points of opposition that seem to
arise in our daily experience would
be born if we could only appreciate
another's standpoint. If we were to
put ourselves in another's place, oc-
cupy for just moment the position
he is in, see from his point of view,
know the motive as he knows it, |
am sure this would show us that a
large amount of criticism is entirely
out of place. And what, may we ask,
are we going to do, and just how are
we to be sure that the criticism we
offer is of the proper kind. The best
rule l know of to pursue, is to exam
inc the heart, to learn if there is any
selfishness, envy, prejudice, jealousy,
or self-exaltation lurking there, to
delve deep and see if we are really
trying honestly to help some one to
rise higher. The exalted position in
dicated is not won in a moment, nor
day, but I'm sure all of us can
bring more of into our lives, if we
but make the effort. Criticism that is
proper is born of a spirit that sees
good in our fellow man. 1t is
instructive, helpful, encouraging,
strengthening and above all it up
lifts the one privileged to receive it
and such criticism and only such, con-
stitutes the very essence Of brother
hood. We should always remember
officials of any organization can not
always do the way we wish them to,
unless they attain our standpoint
through self f-convincement. Doing
otherwise, they cease to be invidual
and would be absorbed into oneness
with Ourself, having no fixity- of their
own. When we folks begin to grasp
the fact that under democratic gov
ernment, whether it pertains to lodge,
union, or state, that as a majority
we get what we want, then will 1t be
seen that if we have inefficient Off
-cels, we must place the blame on
ourselves, as We put them in the posi-
ton they occupy. If a mistaken Sc
lection has occurred, let US in due
time correct it, but please let us re-
member not to criticise them, for the
mistake is ours. If we so elevate a
man in our estimation and he does not
live up to our expectation, it is our
view, not his, that needs correction.
This is, | believe, the ideal way, the
only worth while. None of us are
perfect, but we can strive for it if
we see fit, and so there is room for
improvement in all of us along the
lines of criticism as we'll as others.
The beauty of it all is that it is reci-
procal-giving and receiving.
Criticism, that is loving, is to the
heart like gentle rain,
Imparting strength and courage. This
should fain,
To make each one, another helper, in
a right way,
Bringing out the best that's in us,
each succeeding day.

S-HOUR LAW TO STAND.

Continuous appeals are being made

aside the women's eight hour law.

Younger is not impressed with the

law will stand until the government
finds that an actual emergency exists.
