HOW TO BUILD SHIPS

Chicago, April 29,-Speaking be-
fore the annual convention of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States, Edward A. Filene of Boston
gave this advice to business men:
There are enough men to talk
about the blame for delay due to
causes which the government can
correct. Let us emphasize the blame
mat rests upon communities and
the business men of the communi-
ties, and try to find way to help.
The problem of an effective work
ing force in our ship yards will not
be solved by rhetorical preachments
to ship workers at their lunch hour
but by the definite solution of the
dlscouraging problems of bad hous-
ing and inadequate transportation"

A LEADER FOR

Nineteen centuries ago PLATE

Galilean and asked: cart thou

Today there is not a ruler in the
civilized world but what would an
swer for Christ: "Yea, he is a King"
If any ruler should deliberately
attempt to dishonor Christ's name,
or prohibit the homage which men
universally accord Him, there would
be rebellion throughout His domain,
which neither courts nor armies
could suppress.
No legislator, no man in authority
in any capacity, dares put himself
in open hostility to the rule of
Christ.
To what must this marvellous DOW
er be attributed? Napoleon has
given us a cue. Exiled at St.
Helena he turned one day to General
Bertrand and said: 81 know men.

and myself founded empires, but
upon what did we rest the success
of our genius? Upon force. Jesus
alone founded his empire upon love,
and at this hour millions of men
would die for Him"
1t is peculiar that Jesus appeals
to men of all nations. Moses was

Confucius, a Chinaman, Buddha. a
Hindu, Mohammed, an Arab, Luther,

in spirit.

Christ seems to have been an Arab
ian. No matter what a mans ma

Jesus.
Christ appeals to all conditions of
men. Rich and poor, learned and
ignorant, capitalist and laborer-all
have looked to Christ and found in
Him that which satisfies. To have
such a man as a friend, means a
great deal to anyone. For work
ingmen to have Him-with His I'M
limited power-as their special rep
lesentative, should inspire them with
hope and courage, for the cause of
such leader is certain of victory.

GERMAN KULTUR
NOT ANEW THING

every village they have passed
through has been the victim of what
is only organized pillage. Every city
has been practically sacked, ran
sacked on system; its citizens plum
dered, it's civil officials terrorized,
imprisoned, outraged, or killed. The
civil populations have been, contrary
to the usage of modern warfare,
forced to serve the invading armies,
brutally put to death, reduced to
wholesale starvation, and desolation
Vast tracts of the richest and most
industrious districts of Europe have
been deliberately stripped and plung-
ed into famine, solely in order that
the invaders might make war cheap
ly. Irregular troops, contrary to
all the practice of war, have been
Systematically murdered, and civil
populations Unfortunately mas
sacred, solely to spread terror. A
regular system of ingenious terror
ism has been directed against civil
ians, as horrible as anything in the
history of civil or religious wars.
Large and populous cities have been,
not once, but 20, 80, 40 times, bonn
barded and burnt, and the women
and children in them wantonly slaugh-
tered, with the sole object of inflict-
ing suffering. All this has been
done not in license or passion, but
by the calculating ferocity of scien-
tific soldiers"

JOGS YOUR MEMORY
Washington, D. c.,
April, 1918.

't'SiiiiS IVlIi H. -,
April, 1918.
To Organized Labor-Greeting
Information received at this office
substantiates the contention, which
has long been the pride of the or
gained workers, that those holding
membership in trade unions are sec
ond to no group of our citizenship
in devotion and loyalty to our be-
loved country. This fact has been
forcefully developed by the great
number of our members who are
giving active service in the Army
and Navy, others who are doing
their bit" in the mills, mines and
factories, as well as the great army
of toilers who have contributed to
the common cause by the purchase
of Liberty Bonds, War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps, so that
democracy shall not perish from
the earth, and all realize that the
big job we have on hand and which
must be done successfully is to Exam
the Kaiser"
This is as it should be, but in our
spare moments we should not forget
another reason for the existence
Of trade unions is the establishment
and maintenance Of fair working
conditions whereby continual prog
ress can also be made for our social
and economical welfare.
A safe guide-post on this road of
progress is the Union Label, typi
flying as it does, as has been truly
said, "the application in industrial
life of those rules which every good
citizen applies in his individual life
morality, honesty, re-
spect and chivalry toward woman
hood, and the care and protection
of the young"
Surely these are sentiments and
principles which should appeal to
all fairminded people, especially
trade unionists, as a conclusive rea-
son why they should refuse to pur
chase the products of the sweat
shop and of child labor, and to see
to it that the money earned under
conditions, obtained by the trade
unions should be spent in aid of
their fellows who are constantly
to them through the ST
lent but expressive messenger Of
Deace in industry, the Union Label
Let us all be consistent and "Drac-
tice what we preach" in the future.
by seeing to it that neither our
selves nor any member of our fam
'ly purchases any article for house
hold o. personal use which does not
bear a union Label
Become "boosteY" for the best
possible working conditions for your
elf and your fellow toilers by al
ways demanding tbs Union Label.
Fraternally yours,
JOHN j. MANNING.

THE UNION LABEL
IS A GUARANTEE
OF CLEAN GOODS

Members of Labor Unions are not
the only ones who should be con-
cerned about the Union Label Every
lover of humanity should take an
interest in the work of promoting
the label Every woman with a
heart big enough to feel a thrill of
sympathy for her fellows ought to
know what the label means, and it
is the duty of labor to teach all
such persons.
Even the most chronic bargain
hunter would, if she were fully aware
of the facts, hesitate before buying
wrapper or night dress or under
wear if she knew it was made in
room infected with the germs of
tuberculosis, typhoid, smallpox, diph-
liberia, or a thousand other diseases.
And yet that risk every woman
takes when she buys such articles
made in sweatshops.
More especially would any tender
hearted woman hesitate to buy them
if she knew that those articles were
made by the unrequitted toll of help
less and hopeless widows, starving
children and toddling infants whose
eyes never saw a flower in bloom
or the green grass growing and who
never knew what it was to be free
from the pangs of hunger.
The absence of the label means
that the goods might be-and doubt
less were-made under just such
conditions. The presence of the la
bel is a guarantee that they were
made under healthful conditions bv
adult labor that received a living
wage
Why shouldn't women in all walks
of life take an interest in move
ment that means so much to their
sisters?
If the humane women of this land
would stop for moment and think
If all the misery ard woe their bar
gain rushes cause their unfortunate
sisters; if they would pause for a
moment and thinl; of the cruelty in
flicted upon helpless children by
men efforts to get bargains" they
would certainly quit it and be will
NC to pay fair prices for their
goods made by happy women amid
aea!thful surroundings.
The woman whose attention j.,
called to these things and who paws
10 attention, but goes right on prof
Ting by the sweat and sorrows Of
her sisters aud the hunger and GRIEF
# Gods little ones is not worthv
he name Of woman.
Without doubt the Union Label
means a whole lot more than we
nave been giving it credit for. Il
means hope and happiness for mil
ions. 1t means JOY to mothers and
new ambitions to thousands of de-
spanning men.

CHAPTER III.
The Crevasse.

For an hour before the Hannah
reached Katma Miss O'Neill was busy
getting her little brood ready. Her
heart was as tender as Madonna to
these lambs so i'll fitted to face frigid
waste. Their mother had been good
woman. She could tell that. But she
had no way of knowing what kind of
man their father might be. When they
said their shifting good-bys at katma
she was suspiciously bright and
merry. Soon the children were laugh
ing again with her.
One glance at their father, who in
PRODUCED himself to Miss O'Neill as
John Hustled, relieved her mind great
~. His spontaneous delight at seeing
them again and his choking gratitude
to her for having looked after them
were evidence enough that this kind
eyed man meant to be both father and
mother to his recovered little folks.
Her temporary family stood on the
end of the wharf and called good-bys
to the girl. When they turned away
she went directly to her room.
Elliot was passing forward when
Miss O'Neili opened her statercom
door to go in. The eyes of the young
woman were blinded with tears and
she was biting her lip to keep back
the emotion that welled up. He knew
she was very fond of the motherless
children, but he guessed at IN addi-
tional reason for her sobs. She, too,
was as untaught as a child in the life
of this frontier land. Whatever she
found here-how much Of hardship or
happiness or grief or woe-she knew
that she had left behind forever the
safe harborage of quiet waters In
which her life craft had always foated.
It came on to rain in the afternoon.
Heavy clouds swept across from the
mountains, and the sodden sky opened
like a sluice-box. The Kusiak contfn-
gent, driven indoors, resorted to
bridge. Miss O'Neill read. Gordon Ell.
lott wrote letters, dawdled over mag
azines, and lounged alternately in the
ladies' parlor and the smoking room.
where Macdonald, Strong, a hardware
merchant from Fairbanks, and a pair
of sour-dough miners had settled them
selves to a poker game that was to
last all night and well into the next
day.
OF the two bridge tables all the
players were old-timers except Mrs.
Mallory. She had come In over u
