Chinese Workers Not Needed.

The American Federation of Labor
will oppose the passage of the resolu-
tion introduced in the senate by Sen
ator Gallinger providing for the ad
mission Of Chinese farmers to supply
the labor deficiency for the period of
the war. The argument presented by
the federation is that there is no short
age of labor in the United States, and
that if shortage does actually exist in
any particular district the trouble is
due to inequalities In the distribution
of labor. 1t is the position Of the fed
GRAFTON that redistributing will fill all
shortages.
1t is explained on behalf of the Chi
nese government that farmers suf1-
cient to fill all needs would be sent
over If the Peking government were
satisfied that they could come without
causing friction here. 1t has been the
attitude Of the Chinese government to
wait the pleasure of the people of the
United States, therefore, before max
ing any move. No overtures looking
to the sending OF laborers or farmers
have been made by Peking or the lega-
ton at Washington.
The greatest demand for the impor-
Gation of Chinese farmers comes from
California, where a great shortage of
labor is anticipated Another phase
of the problem of labor anticipated in
the production of foodstuffs on United
States farms in 1918 will be 40 per
cent greater than that of this year,
according to official estimate. The
farmers had difficulty In harvesting
their crops last year because of labor
shortage. Many are asking now what
lis to be done this year il the produc.
tion Is increased 40 per cent.

Early closing days have long been in
vogue in the case of shops, and the re-
suits have justified the experiment.
But why should the benefits of short
er hours not be extended to every class
in the community? The drudgsry of
long hours is vice, not virtue or a
necessity, and is largely due to the
unbusinesslike habits of employers and
the public.
Every year, for example, the public
is urged to do its Christmas shopping
early, to relieve the strain by carrying
home small parcels, and to avoid the
evil practice Of shopping at the last
hour. 1t is a well-established fact that
such changes as will improve the lot
of the toiler can be brought about only
by legislation.

Philadelphia Planning
Peace Celebration and
Soldier Dead Memorial

Philadelphia, Dec. PLANS are
under way for holding big peace
celebration in this city and for erect
ing a memorial to the men of Phila-
delphia who gave their services in
the war against Germany. 1t is
proposed to have the celebration ex-
coed in magnitude the Peace Jubilee
of 1898, after the Spanish-American
war ended
The memorial may take the form
of a monument, an obelisk or an
arch to be erected on the great new
parkway the city is now completing.
Mayor Smith in his appeal for
funds with which to build the me-
mortal says: THE memorial is to
commemorate for all time the brew
cry of our soldiers, sailors and ma
rines over sea, and the patriotic self
sacrificing, soul-inspiring services of
the women of Philadelphia"
The suggestion has been made
that the city rename some if its
principal streets for noted military
leaders of the allies forces. Names
of Pershing, Foch, Joffre, Haig, Al
lenby and Diaz have been submitted.

GEM INDUSTRY
NOW POSSIBLE
IN THIS STATE
Manufacture Of JeweIry Now
Facilitated by the Nearness
of Great Fields of
Stones.

Omaha offers advantages as a CEN
ter for the manufacture of cheap
jewelry, surprising Providence, R.
L., which since the elimination of
the German source of supply, has
become the worlds principal point
of production.
Before the war Germany had
practical monopoly of the manufac-
ture of cheap jewelry, using gems
produced in various parts of Eu-
rope and synthetic stones for
mountings.
Omaha is close to one Of the
stones that exists in the country
today. All that is required for the
development OF this field is a mar
ket for the native stones.
Many Stones Here.
In certain districts of Nemaha,
Richardson, Pawnee and Johnson
counties are large fields of glacial
drift where, in prehistoric ages,
glacial streams deposited masses of
debris collected over an immense
area. ~
In these fields are found splendid
specimens OF yellow topaz, tourma-
line and the peculiar red topaz
called Brazilian ruby. There are al
SO cairngorms and bloodstone
quartz.
Lads skilled in the gathering of
these gems follow the plow as their
fathers plow the ground, turning up
the gravelly spots on the hilltops,
and they also explore the roadside
washes and gulleys after hard hans
in their search for the near-gems.
Market is Handy.
Among the most successful col
lectors in Nemaha county are John
T. Cox, cashier of the Bank of
Howe, and Charles Regain, pros
porous farmer living between Au-
burn and Humboldt. Sam Hughes,
a former Omaha man who lives at
Howe, is also a successful gem
hunter.
All Of these men have beautiful
specimens of the native stones,
some uncut and others they have
had cut by skilled lapidaries. Mount
ed, they find ready market among
the neighborhood population at
good prices.
The supply of these gems is so
large that were market created for
the uncut stones an unfailing and
liberal supply from a large territory
would pour into any factory that
could use the output, were it To-
Gated in Omaha.
Rock Crystals Available.
Nearby there is large supply of
beautiful white an yellow rock
crystals. These are found in the
gravel washinss of the Platte at
Louisville and when cut are more
brilliant and OF better gem quality
than Rhinestones or other natural
or synthetic productions.
The greatest possibility for fac
tory use in the fabrication of these
gems is the beautiful yellow topaz
found in the southwestern part of
the state. Some of these are of
great size, extreme hardness and OF
wonderful depth and brilliancy of
color. Because of uniformity of
color, as we'll as variety, they could
be worked into handsome brooches
or circlets. "a

Training Mechanics to
Take Fighters Places

Vacancies caused by the enlist
ment of workers from the Cadillac
Boston distributors repair shop are
being rapidly filled by men beyond
the draft age. who are being trained
for the work.
In a corner of the repair shop has
been set up this mechanics training
school. The instructor is a mechan-
ic, who possesses both the ability to
work with tools and the faculty of
imparting his knowledge and the
fruit of his experience to others.
Each student is provided with a
set of tools, paying for them at ac-
tual cost He also signs an agree
ment relative to his wages, provid-
ing that his services are found salts
factory after he has finished train
ing. The pay is on rising scale
until the end of his first year. when
he is to receive the sum which hie
services are worth to the employing
company. The jobs are made more
attractive by provision for a bonus
for the first two years of employ
ment.
The school has been under way
for three months, and the initial ro-
suits have been very successful. Ir
several instances men have already
been graduated into the regular
work in the main shop.
