That is Plan Now " the Ward Chair
men and Their Workers Will
Complete Their Canvassing
at Once.
MONEY GOES LOCALLY
One Half Of the Dollar Memberships
viii be Given for Home Service
and Public Health
Work.

| Every effort is going to be made to
wind UP the Third Red Cross roll
call, SO far as Keokuk is concerned,
Saturday of this week. In Order to
do that it is urged that the ward
committees clean up their work at
once, and be ready to report to head
quarters not later than Saturtay.
Where workers in the wards have
called at houses and have not found
anyone at home, they are Impressed
with the Importance of gotag again,
until they do find the families home.
| The Red Cross work cannot be de-
modified even il the army has been.
| It's work must go on. The nome
service section activities are now
/ just at their height. This is essen
TALLY the section which deals With
returned soldiers and their fcnl1ies,
and is maintained for their aid ami
assistance.
| Then there is a very comprehen-
sive public health program which the
Keokuk chapter will conduc-. Miss
Henke is in Chicago now taking
special training and Miss Sollars will
assist her in the county. The luSer-
culoss work will be specially under
their supervision.
| Such work as this, carried ON by
the local Red Cross chapter for the
local people is essentially worthy OF
support One-half of the dollar sub
scription stays at home for this work.
The other half goes to the national
organization. People who give mere
than a dollar may be interested TO
know that all over this dollar gees
to the local work.
Red Cross headquarters prove a
popular place yesterday for the home
coming crowds. Supper invitations
were given out here TO those who
hadn't received their cards, and the
people in charge helped take care
of the overcoats and acted as gem
eral information bureau for the sol
diers. 1t all proved that slogan:
! If you want to know about the Red
Cross just ask the man who's been
in the army.

BOYS WORK TO
HAVE ATTENTION
International Convention Of the Y. M.
c. A. Which Meets at Detroit
Soon Will Lay Much EN-.
phasis on This Work.

With a keen realization that the
boys Of today will be men of tomor-
row, the fortieth international con-
vention of the Y M. c. A., to be held
at Detroit beginning November 10,
will lay special emphasis on boys
work throughout every phase of it's
activities This information was re-
ceived today from headquarters of the
international committee OF the Y. M.
G. A, by VIM. e. Brugman, who is
head of the city wide boys work of
the Keokuk association.
While there are 2,077 associations
throughout the United States, there
are boys work division in but 7S0
city, county, railroad and colored
associations, and boys work of some
sort is being done IN about $500 or
CARNATIONS. The extension OF this
work to all of the present associations
and the development of the field now
untouched is one of the biggest prob
lens to be considered. The need for
such extension is doubly apparent as
the latest United States census fig
ures show there are about 100000
boys in the nation. OF this ire
mendous number 100000 are en-
ployed boys, ranging in age from IA
to 20 years Other statistics show
that there are some 100000 boys of
high school age.
The association membership in
cludes $4,000 boys whose ages range
from IL to Is years, but the work of
the association extends beyond the or
gannzation itself. The Outside" work
takes the form of employed boys
brotherhoods, which number from 10

are more anxious to protect their
own money than they are the injured
man. In addition, it has been shown,
by legislative Investigations, that
from 40 to 10 cents Of every dollar
collected by the insurance companies
have gone in expenses commis-
sions, advertising, fighting lawsuits,
expensive salaries and the like
leaving only a small part of the
money taken from the employer to be
handed on to the workman.
Two of the new bills are for the
benefit of women workers. One es-
tablishes 48-hour work week teight
hours day for six days., and the
other provides a minimum wage for
women. An industrial commission,
capable of enforcing the minimum
wage for women. An industrial
commission, capable of enforcing the
minimum wage of SO per week, and
of establishing higher minimum in
industries where it is required, is al
so provided. Both of these acts are
modelled after the most progressive
labor laws that have been passed in
the United States.
New Mining Code
Heretofore workers in 200 coal
mines in North DAKOTA have been
without any protection of law. The
new mine code adopted by the farm
er legislature ends this. 1t provides
for coal mine inspector who has
authority to enforce long list of
safety regulations in regard to tim
boring, fire protection, exits, ventila-
ton, sanitation and the like. Mine
foreman are required to pass ex-
aminations to show their fitness to
be entrusted with the lives of the
men under them. An eight-hour das
is established and it is made unlaw.
full to employ children under Is un-
!. derground.
Some of the other laws passed BY
the North Dakota farmer legislator:
to help their brother workingmen OF
the cities and the public general,
are:
A modern child labor law.
A full-crew bill, requiring skinner
crews on trains of more than 4C
cars and five men on other trains.
An gup-to-date anti-junction law
to prohibit employers from using th'
powers of the courts to coerce EN-
ployes in. labor disputes.
A bill requiring railroads to built
sheds to protect car repairers from
the weather.
4 Changes in the hours during which
polls are kept open, to give working
men better opportunity to vote.
These are some of the measures
Everyone of them, according t.
President Mcdonald of the state fed
GRAFTON of labor, is the best of It
kind in existence But the most re
markable thing about them is tina
they were passed, not by an assefnb
/ lage of labor men, but by an assemh
lage Of farmers.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-12-10

900 oil more saved to the thousands
of operators was of great benefit in
directly. The results have justified
the building Of the Municipal Dock, a
public improvement that has been re-
garded as something of a joke in GER
tain circles. Trenton did not require
this experience to enable it to appre-
ciate the great advantages of inland
waterways. There is much more to
be gained in the future"
Perth Amboy has spent some money
in acquiring waterfront property and
has a makeshift for a municipal dock.
1t would be interesting to know just
how much we have benefited as a
result. But real benefits here cannot
be derived until the city develops the
waterfront as is warranted by the ex-
cellent facilities that the city has. If
Trenton, located many miles Ut the
Delaware river, can pro1tably spend
$164,0O0 on a municipal dock, how
much more should Perth Amboy spend
under the circumstances?

SENTIMENT FOR A BUILDING.

Sentiment in this city seems to be
building to be erected as q memorial
In honor of the Perth Amboy boys
who took part In the World War.
There is every reason to believe that
such a memorial would be entirely
satisfactory to the great majority of
citizens and 1t seems to be the choice
of the boys themselves.
A suitable building along the lines
being so generally adopted through
out the country. centrally located,
would be a credit to the city and an
honor to all concerned. Care must
be taken, however, that it Is a per-
manent structure built of the most
lasting material and of a design that
will be always pleasing to the eye.
It should have suitable surroundings
and possess character and dignity
IMPLYING the purpose for which 1t Is
erected. There should be nothing
commonplace about 1t.
OF course, 1t is possible to go on
talking for months and years on this
subject of a suitable memorial for the
soldiers of the great war. 1t Is time,
however, to settle on something defin
tie and get behind 1t with the true
Perth Amboy spirit that will make 1t
a reality.
A building has the advantage in
that 1t is possible to state the general
purpos of the structure on the out
side-over the entrance, perhaps
while inside may be placed any num-
Der of tablets bearing the names of
those whom the city would honor and
also trophies and relics of the great
event in which the mar participated
could be properly cared for.
Unless there is a decided change In
sentiment very shortly the memorial
building idea should be adopted and
the work Of making the project a
reality commenced.

Ripping Rhymes
BY W. II MASON
The Reds.

sSN
How long, 1 often wonder, will
we endure the Reds, who're al
ways raising thunder, dodgast
their foolish heads! They're al
ways talking treason, they plot the
overthrow of order, law and rea-
son, they'd lay our bulwarks low.
From foreign kennels crawling,
all crimes get their applause; no
horrors SO appalling that it would
give them pause. How long will
we endure them, as guests Of I'm
Gle Sans? When will we start to
cure them as packers cure their
hams? From pestilential alleys,
from slums across the sea, from
prison hulks and galleys, they
come to set us free!" All. yes,
they talk of freedom. and say that
we are slaves; they write long
tracts and read 'em, the frowsy,
unwashed knaves. 1t fills my soul
with sadness that there are
thoughtless Yanks. who listen to
their madness, and join their crazy
ranks. And thus we see the dan
ger of letting him remain, the loud
and lousy stranger, with murder
on the brain. I would not have
O person upon our shining strand
who spends his leisure cursin' the
customs of this land. If any
gents suspected of reasonable
thought, I'd have that gent col
lected, and hanged and drowned
and shot.
