BARRIERS

Journeymen BARRIERS of the United
States are a loyal bunch. A referen-
dunn vote has just been taken author
izing the international officers to in
vest $4,000 of the unions funds in
third Liberty loan bonds. Of 10000
votes cast, only 176 were in the mega
tive. A great majority of the unions
cast unanimous vote for the Liberty
loan, Denver Local Union No. 205
being among these.
Secretary F. L. Weathers of the
BARRIERS Union of Los Angeles writes
as follows in the April issue of the
Journeyman Barber: Frequently we
receive letters from all parts of the
country making inquiries as to the
conditions here, and everything in gen.
eral. To those who contemplate writ
ing, will say that Los Angeles is just
like any other city. We have the
same kind of people, the same kind
of streets, the same sunshine on US,
and you have to work just as hard if
not harder to make a living here /;
furthermore, jobs are not more plen-
tiful here than in other cities, and just
as many hard dry shaves as any other
town Oh, yes, we have a good eli
mate, but if you can live on climate,
come on. My advice to you is, if at
present you have job, stick to it, at
least until business conditions become
normal again and this terrible war is
over"

Walters

The proprietor of the Atlas res
taurant, Oakland, Cal, has discovered
that the woman's eight-hour law was
not put upon the books merely to fill
up space. Quite a ew employers
have had that notion. The boss of the
Atlas was working his mattresses more
than eight hours in defiance of the
law. Till one fine day recently the
guardians of the law found out what
he was doing and yanked him up with
startling suddenness. He was escorted
to the city bastile and with due cere-
mony booked for his crime. He was
subsequently tried and convicted in
the police court and a fine of $25
placed upon him.

HORSES PRAYER TO MASTER.

Feed me, water and care for me,
and when the days work is done
provide me with shelter, clean, dry
bed, and a stall wide enough for me
to lie in comfort. Talk to me. Your
voice often means as much to me as
the reins. Pat me sometimes, that !
may serve you the more gladly and
learn to love you. Do not jerk the
reins and do not whip me when l do
not understand you. Watch me, and
if / fail to do your bidding, see If
something is not wrong with my har-
ness or feet.
Examine my teeth when / do not
eat, / may have an liberated tooth,
and that, you know, is painful. Do
not tie my head in an unnatural posi-
ton or take away my best defense
against flies and mosquitoes by cut
ting off my tail.
And finally, o, my master, when
my useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starye or freeze, or
sell me to some cruel owner, to be
slowly tortured and starved to death I;
but do thou, my master, take my life
in the kindest way, and your God
will reward you here and hereafter'
You will not consider me irreverent
if / ask this in the name of Him who
was born in a stable. Amen!-Horse-
shoers' Magazine.

DRUGGING HUMAN AILMENTS
NEVEp ppOnTTCE CITRES

The aid from drug concocuons is merely
a case Of sitting the trouble and trust
ing to what Internal vitality the patient
may still possess to pull thru, but lacking
such strength 1t simply becomes case
of more drugging and going from bad to
worse conditions
All internal remedies, used for whatever
purpose, must act thru the bloodstream for
the parts ailing. This being the case why
not use Sulfox Water, which imparts to
the ailing body the same natural health
elements which we find in pure mir and

or other Injurious ingredients, is manu-,

News of the Labor Unions
Electrical Workers

After a two weeks strike the Wag-
ner Electric Company of st. Louis
has concluded that it is costly busi-
ness to discharge workers because
they join a union, and there will be
no discrimination hereafter. About
1000 men and women are affected by
the settlement, which provides that
victimized employees shall be reinstated
and the eight-hour day with pay for
overtime on all government work and
a joint committee to adjust wage diff
ferences shall be established.

Laundry Workers

The Laundry Workers Union of San
Francisco at its weekly meeting gave
a practical demonstration of their pa
triotism when, by a unanimous vote,
the organization decided to purchase
81 800 worth of the third issue of Lib
erty bonds. There were thirty candi-
dates initiated at the weekly meeting.
A new union of Laundry Workers
has been instituted in Oklahoma City
with large and representative mem
bership. From present indications
this union will be rapid in growth and
it is anticipated to make it 100 per
cent before the first of May.

Bricklayers

F. NJ. Tucker, bricklayer, of Pueblo,
Colo, is visiting relatives and friends
in New Philadelphia. Brother Tucker
is a member of No. 2, Colorado, of
the B. NJ. & P. /. U. He left New
Philadelphia for Colorado about thir-
teen years ago.-New Philadelphia,

Vancouver, B. c., bricklayers pro-
pose to secure larger headquarters to
meet the growing requirements of the
organization. 1t has also been de-
cided that 81 a day shall be the mini
mum wage scale during the present
year.

Bakers
By r.. e. LowDERBACK.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that the drivers of the Denver
Bread Company have been telling the
union people that they come in con-
tact with in their house to house can
vass that they employed nothing but
union bakers in their plant. This we
desire to deny and once more call at
tention to the fact that the only way
you can tell that they employ union
bakers is by requesting to see the
union label AS it is the only evidence
on a loaf of bread that will show you
conclusively that same was made by
union bakers under sanitary condi-
tions, don't let the smooth salesman
driver fool you into buying it unless
it bears the emblem of the bakery
workers. 1t stands for that freedom
and right that every American is now
fighting for. Without it you are help
ing build up a cause that is absolutely
opposed to the rights of the workers
to organize and have something to
say as to what wage we shall receive,
and under what conditions we shall
work.
Don't forget to ask the driver the
next time he comes to your door to
show YOU the union label. The bakery
are SIlll OuC iI IIIc SAlhpDSAi
Sell, Macklem and Old Homestead
bakeries. For recognition and liv-
ing wage, or we might say just an
existing wage Think of it, only S19
per week, and we have been compelled
to strike for the last year and we are
still out at the above mentioned
places. You can help US win by
asking and insisting on the union la
bel on all bread you buy or eat. 1t
can be had at any grocery or res
taurant.
The Union Cooperative bakery is
making speciality of restaurant
trade. A list of the fair shops can
be found in this paper. The bakery
workers are buying Liberty bonds in
spite of the small wage, as we desire
to show our loyalty to our country.
We also now have sixteen of our men,
bers with the colors and several more
ready to be called. We have a cam
paign on to once more bring into our
fold those that haven't seen the light
as yet, and we sure are meeting with
success, and expect to once more have
a 100 per cent organization, as the
bakers are getting wise to the prom
ises of the bosses.

Cigarnakers
By j. w. SANFORD.

Evidently a great many of our
members anticipated the snow storm
Tuesday evening, as we had rather
poorly attended meeting. Neverthe-
less, number of important matters
We're taken up and disposed of by
those present. Included in our CORE
spondence was one from Sol Newman,
telling about the Dauntless union
made trousers for men, on sale ex-
from Local A, Brewery and Soft
Drink Workers, calling attention to
unfair attitude of the Coors Company.
The Mooney defense committee of
San Francisco, union labor socialists
general defense committee of Chicago
and from New York and Chicago, re-
spectively, calling attention to seces-
sion elements in those cities who are
disturbing the cigar industry and
playing into the hands of the nom
union manufacturers. Some of these
communications asked for financial as
sistance, all of which were complied
with and suitable cash donations made.
The Garment Workers committee
was recognized and number of tick
cts purchased for their card party
April 20. The Veteran Volunteer
Firemen's Association dance was an
nounced for May % and ticket pur-
chased.
Cigarmakers in the city have their
bids in for something over $4,000
for Liberty bonds if our information
is correct, and we believe it is. Not
so bad for one organization, but we
are not blowing about it, for if the
fourth issue becomes necessary we
will be there Johnnie on the spot.
| Our members are also subscribing lib
orally to the thrift stamps which we
are handling for their convenience.
Two of the non-union cheap ma
chine labor cigar factories out of the
! four that have been trying to intro
duce their goods in this territory the
past couple of years have practically
given up the ghost for want of pat
ronage. We give credit for this to
our union friends who insist on the
label brands of smokes; Two more
small shops to deal with now which
will no doubt go the same route as
the two former ones referred to.
There are still some of the scab
goods around town which do not bear
the label, viz: Puritan Bond, Copy
right, Ranger, Hagler's Rose, High
Altitude, Best Value and Sierre Cruz
SC cigars.
John "Yank" Ness, after twenty-five
years absence from Denver, has re-
turned and will take job and renew
some old acquaintance. Yank has
been all over the West and South since
leaving here.
w. H. Shelly, secretary of the local
at Trinidad, writes that they are on
the lookout for local scab cigars which
are very scarce down that way.
Don't be a Stacker on the label
goods. 1t is just as important that
you patronize other labels as to ask
the patronage of your own.
If every workman would take more
interest in the arrangement of his
work bench the employer would take
more interest also, working conditions
would automatically improve and bet
ter results would be obtained for all
concerned and strike applications on
these grounds become less numerous.

Sheet Metal Workers

The members of Local No. 351,
Sheet Metal Workers are on strike
in every contract shop in Knoxville,
Tenn. They are asking an increase of
rs cents a day in salary and a few
minor concessions on the part of the
bosses. About forty men are affected.
1t is a matter of increase or else not
make a living, say the men, as in
many instances common labor is get
ting as much money as the men in
this trade. The employers SO far have
refused to arbitrate the question.

Musicians

Believing that the citizens of San
Francisco have demonstrated their ap-
probation of the band concerts in the
public parks, the organ recitals and
the popular concerts in the Exposition
Auditorium during the past year, the
San Francisco Labor Council. has
adopted resolutions, by unanimous
vote, urging an increased appropria-
tion for municipal music for the COM
ing fiscal year. The Labor Council
also authorized the officers of the
council to appear before the mayor
and the board of supervisors in be-
half of the proposed increased appro-
priation for municipal music.

5 AND 1O-CENT STORES PAY

The 5 and 1O-cent stores of F. w.
Woolworth and Company, numbering
1,O14, made sales in March of S8,712,-
378, or an increase of 20.41 per cent.
The company will open eleven new
stores before July /. The and 10
cent stores of S. H. Kress and S. s.
Kresge increased sales 29.3 per cent

Tednsters

A basic eight-hour day for team
sters would be laughed at few years
ago, but Transfers Union No. 174
of Seattle, Wash, has just put the
thing across" It must not be under
stood that eight hours was handed
these workers. Their union has a
membership of 3,000-which is quite
an argument in itself.

Building Laborers

The Building Laborers Union of Ia
coma, Wash, has secured a new wage
scale which raises rates from 50 to
So day, and in some instances $3.50.
A feature of the agreement provides
that hereafter the contractor must
furnish tools for these workers, who
formerly brought their own tools to
each job.

Two more members of Plumbers
and Gas Filters Union No. 8 left this
week to join the United States army
James Keating was called under the

listed in the U. S. quartermaster's
department. This will add two more
blue stars to the service flag of No. 3.

INJURED AT LUNCH; GETS PAY.

The Kentucky state workmen's
compensation board has ruled tina,
where an employe is injured during
the lunch hour the accident arises
"out of and in the course of employ
ment." A woman worker overturned
n pot of tea in local factory and the
employer held that the injury was not
associated with her employment. The
board held that "quenching thirst or
which is necessary to health and COM
fort, are accidents to the employment,
and If the worker is injured during
their performance the accident arises
out of and in the course of the en-
ployment."

time.

cents per hour. Fifty-eight members
of the association are now in various
training camps, doing service in the

ing men to the ballot box and vot-
ing them for candidates of the
conductors choice rather than OF
the men actually %depositing the
ballot. By the new system the
voter may hear all the argument
possible as to why he should vote
for one candidate or another, OF
why he should support one measure
or another. But when the time
comes for him to record his decis
ion he does it himself, and it il
not done for him. ..
The system when it is understood
will be adopted for the country pre-
cincts as we'll as for those in the
cities. 1t promotes independence
and thoughtfulness on the part o:
the voter, while protecting hin
from the unwelcome assistance o:

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

Commencing April LIST War Saw
ings Stamps will cost $4.15 each in,
stead of $4.14 the cost during
March. Each month during the
present year the cost of these
stamps will increase on cent. The
reason for this is very plain-the
stamps increase in. value each month
at the rate of about 8 per cent. per
annum, or one cent. A stamp will
cost SAILS during April, but at the
same time a stamp for which $4.14
was paid in March or Sab in Feb
ruary can be redeemed in April for
SAILS. The rule works both ways.
Stamps that are held until maturity
January 1, 1928, will be redeemed
for $500 each, which is interest at
the rate of APT per cent.

tried out in the democratic primary
for city officials. The system works
admirably. The voter presents him

ticket. He then retires to a booth,
where he makes out his ticket &C.

he deposits in the box without be-
ing button-holed, cajoled, or advis-
ed by anybody seeking office fol-

alone might beat him; but, certain
". there is a larger element OF
doubt as to this. It may be that
had Senator Tillman never offered
for rec lection-on account OF
Blease's pronounced pro-German
views-Lever might have beaten
him. But since Senator Tillman has
offered, there would seem to be
nothing for the liberty-loving' Ger
man-hating, people Of South Caro-
lima to do but to ~re-elect him. And
this The Chronicle is pretty conn.,
dent they are going to do-proVld-
ed Mr.. Lever keeps hands off and
refuses to complicate the race.
There can be no doubt that Mr.
Lever will go to the United States
senate some day, provided he does
not make a political blunder at this
time. for he is of senatorial size and
has had the experience. in congress
that fits him for such a promotion
but if he makes the mistake OF en-
tering the senatorial race now
against Tillman, he CANDLES with
precious things-the most precious
things that South Ca%rolinians now
have.
What, then, is Mr.. Levers plain
DUTY? Is it not obvious? The
Chronicle, which is an ardent ad-
mirer of Mr.. Lever, has every con-
fdence that this STEERING young
stateman will not fail. to perceive
this duty and that he. will faithfully
and periodically perform it, as ne
has so we'll performed other high
duties in the past. Certainly, ne has
too much good sense to be mlsleo
by people who have more OF a par
tisan than patriotic purpose to serve
