Eghtor Day Means Eight Hours Says Union Labor Umpire

demanding that workers be given a
voice in this matter, he extends in
dustrial democracy and establishes a
precedent by ordering that both
parties set up a standing committee
of two from each side, a majority of
which shall decide when it is neces-
sary to work more than eight hours
in any one day.
at is better that the machinery
should be worn out than the bodies
of the employees" says Umpire Clark.
MAN passes through this world but
once, and he is entitled, in the Ian
guage of the Great Declaration, to
some enjoyment of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness
at has been suggested, as some
protection against the abuse of con-
stantly exceeding the limitation OF
hours by the employer declaring in
his judgment an emergency to eX-
ist, that such extra days should be
limited to three days in the week
This would only be a very partial
remedy, for if the employe is over
worked three days in the week his
product will not only fall off during
those days, but also during the re-
naming days of the week. A better
plan would seem to be a provision
!, that the employer shall appoint g
standing committee of two, and the
employees a similar committee of two
and as the burden Of establishing ar
emergency is upon those who assert
it, the eight-hour limitation shoulC
not be exceeded unless at least three
members of the joint committee Of
four agree that there is an emergency
justifying working overtime. Thi!
would avoid also the objection that i
there was only one member of the
committee on each side, factious op
position by the representative of la
Dor might prevent operation ever
when there was an emergency re

at is not conclusive, though a sub
ject for consideration, that the ma
jority of the other shops in Wheeling
and vicinity are working on nine
hour basis. All betterment has come
by improving conditions, and not con-
tinuing them when bad. Improving
conditions is the object of this pro-
ceeding.
'"The employers have, as rule, pa
triotically given full aid to the prose-
cution Of the war by placing their
splendid plants and their highly
skilled chiefs at the service of the
government. The employees, as rule,
have also, with the same patriotism,
yielded the eight-hour limitation for
the government. The former have re-
ceived great increase in profit. The
latter has contributed an increase in
the hours of labor, and vast numbers
of men to fill our armies. The for
mer have received from the govern
ment; the latter have given to it.
They should not be asked to do SO be-
yond the necessity of the occasion. y
Umpire Clark continues to smash
idols in his treatment of the question
what constitutes an emergency. By

WAR IS EXPENSIVE

A comparison of the reports Of our
Treasury Department with recently
issued British financial statements
shows that America is already spend
ing so per cent. more than Great
Britain on the war. The war outgo
for July was $1,508,000,000, or more
than $2,000,000 each hour. Thus we
have come to a yearly rate Of $751;
000,000,000; but each month shows an
increase over preceding months, and
the year 1919 is expected to need
$24 900, 100000, not counting between
five and six billion dollars that will
be appropriated for that year but
covered by future contracts. Although
we are going so much faster than
Great Britain, and at a constantly ac-
CELEBRATED rate, our total war debt is
as yet only about one-third as large
as Great Britain's, owing to Americas
shorter period of war effort-$12 ,500,-
100000 against 6,000000,000. In
the current year we have raised about
$4,0O0,000000 in taxes as compared
with $3,27O,OOO,OOO levied by Great
Britain. With population here twice
as great as our Ally's, we should, to
make the individual burden of taxa
ton as great as the Englishman's,
raise eight billion dollars-just the

Misunderstanding as a national
war labor board umpire, Justice Wal
ter Clark of the North Carolina state
supreme court has awarded Wheeling
iron molders an eight-hour day in a
decision that will be far-reaching in
effect. A few features of the decision
are:
The basic eight-hour day is not
an eight-hour day, but merely
wage agreement which permits of
extra hours at increased rates.
Eight hours should be the work
day except in cases of emergency.
The question of what consti-
tutes an emergency shall not be
left to the employers, but shall be
decided by a joint standing COM
mittee of two employees and two
representatives Of the employer.
The assent of at least three mem
bers of this committee shall be
necessary for permission to work
more than eight hours in any day
of "a hours.
Justice Clark is one of the 10 UNI
pires appointed by the president to
act where the national war labor
board fails to reach a decision. A
controversy arose between Iron Mol
ders' union No. 1854 and the Wheeling
Mold and Foundry company of Wheel
ing, w. Va, on the Interpretation of
the first section of an agreement be-
tween the two parties which provides
that "eight hours constitute a days
work for all molders and coremakers. .
The next section of the agreement
provides that "the wage rate shall
be $3.50 for the basic eight-hour work
ing day." Both parties agreed to
refer the matter to the national war
labor board and that body referred it
to an umpire.
The iron molders contended that
the agreement was an eight-hour one.
This contention was upheld by Um-
pire Clark, who said:

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from report from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
