Senator Cumna1ns Explains.

The following interview with Senator Albert q: curnnnins appeared in the
New York Times. In it he tells why he supports the anti strike clause in the
Senate rail bill:
The committee Con interstate commerce) believes that after
having provided a tribunal for the adjustment of disputes between
railroad companies and their employees, both sides must accept the
judgment of that tribunal and respect it. 1t is not intended, of course,
to lay the least restraint upon any individual SO far as the cessation of
his employment is conceroed; but tits intended to prevent the comhi-
nations which result in a general suspension of transportation. We
have reached that stage of development and civilization in our
country in which the lives and welfare and the health Of all the people
of the country depends upon the continuous, the constant, the regular
interchange of commodities between communities and persons. Only
two or three weeks, i'll many populations, lie between plenty and star
walton. Only two or three weeks, in certain seasons of the year, lie
between warmth and freezing. All the considerations of modern life
depend upon and they demand that the transportation Of this country
shall be carried on free from obstruction of that character.
I have always regarded the strike as a legitimate and an invalu-
able weapon as between the employer and the employe; | have looked
upon it as substantially the only weapon that could be employed by
the laboring man in order to secure that justice which is his due. But
when we advance to the point at which the government undertakes
to fix his wages in the event of dispute, when we advance to the
point where we authorize a Government tribunal to enter a decree
with regard to the justice of the particular matter, there is 10 room
longer for the interruption OF a strike or a combination among men
of any kind, whether employers or employees, to hinder, delay, OF
restrain the movement Of commerce. believe this provision will
result in justice to the employe. Ibeieve it will secure for him in ar
enlightened government a fair share of the fruits of his toll; and, Sc
believing, I have given it and [ do give it my unqualified support.

To Reward Large Families.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Notable by the hope it inspires for the
future greatness of France is the recogni-
ton to be given by the French academy to
families of nine or more children, Through
the generosity of e. Cognacq, a wealthy
merchant, the income from a capital of
$12, 000, 600 will be available to make this
recognition q material one. This income
is to be given by the French academy in
SIS. 900 shares to families which have nine
or more children born of the same mar
riage. The annual income from the capt.
tai sum will amount to approximately
$3.50, 900 and the award can be made, there
fore, to 80 families.
Thu donors aim was twofold. His first
was the encouragement of the raising of
large families. His second was to help
guarantee that the children Of these fami-
lies be given the opportunity to be worthy
gong and daughter: &c France physically,

conditions in France and the high cost of
education, combiner with the universal de-
sire for a high average of living, have.
discouraged large families. One or two
children are the rule; to have more than
two is questionable. A childless France,

through losses in human life during the

WILL NOT USE GERMAN DYES
Real Reason Why the. Red Trousers
of the French infantryman
Have Been Discarded.

The red trousers of the French army
are to be no more. There Is a political
and economical tragedy about 1t with
which very few people are familiar.
The originator OF the red trousers was
Napoleon, who was prompted In his
reform" by a desire To help the ma
tive cultivation Of malder root against
the Dutch nna Italian rivals.
But then came the Graebe-Lieber-
mann discovery of the aliZnrine dyes,
and in less than fen years, between
1870 and 1873, The production of mad
der root in Frame irank from $4,000
to 500 tons, and ti.cn it disappeared.
This was a great German victory. New
ertheless, the army trousers continued
to be dyed red, only this time the dyes
had to be imported from Germany.
1t evidently required a great wal to
put an end to this humiliation.

useless Industries and n n. e.. OF L.
The hat checking industry" of New
York city, according to Herbert Corey,
produces annually s. profit of at least
$50, 000, 900, or a sum in excess of the profits
of all the traction roads of the city. Every
city supports this and numerous kindred
industries that serve no essential pur-
pose. But the expense has to be met and
in the long run goes to increase the cost
of living.
All these luxury industries are due to
the natural human inclination to get
along with the least possible trouble and
exertion. Men are constantly studying the
public from this angle and are devising
means to make money by catering to
these frills Of public taste. The result is
an increasingly complicated system of liv-
ing, and added expense.
The desire for luxuries is not bad. In
deed, it is a handspring of civilization,
Progress has come because people insist
emily demanded more. It is the froth of
this demand that is really Objectionable:
what has been called Conspicuous waste"
1t Is impossible to cal by legislation
with the parasitic, border line industries
that cater to the froth. No state ever
has succeeded in a%bolishing such a minor
thing as the tip. The only way such
things can be death with is by public
sentiment. And public sentiment is pretty
fairly lax and good natured.

flawiess gems of a rich and vivid green,

Shoe Makers Heard From.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.
AS matters stand today the leather in
dustriss of the United States are confront
ed by a situation which transcends in i'm
portance the much vaunted expansion Of
the export trade. If we are shut off from
the raw material of the world 1t will not
be possible for our tanneries and shoe
factories to produce enough leather and
shoes to supply the home market. 1t thus
appears that as far as our particular in
dustry is concerned we must in self de-
tense resort to every e%xpedient to prevent
the enactment and continuance Of dis
crims1atory export duties against US. We
should be justified in instituting a retalia-
tory embargoes upon our finished products

Among the postcards widely circulated
in Germany and Belgium in 1914 to justify
the killing of Belgian civilians there was
one tina purported to show Belgians not
in uniform firing on approaching German
soldiers from the windows of Louvain
university. Aside from the improbability
that anyone took a photograph of such an
affair, it is interesting to know that there
are no windows on the side of the uni
