Ohio Shakers Producers of
First Poland China Hogs.

The Poland- China hog originated In
Butler and Warren counties, Ohio. In
1915 the Society Of Shakers, in War
rem county, brought some breeding
hogs from Philadelphia. Some Of them
were pure white and others white,
with black spots. They were repre-
scented to the Shakers as Of pure Chi
nese blood and were called Big Chi
mas. In 1872 q committee Of the Ma
tional Swine Breeders congress report
ed against the theory that Chinas had
been crossed with Polands, but as the
name Poland-China was II general
use advised that II be retained.

CHASING H. c. OF L.

Boston-The national industrial conference board is chasing old H. c. of L. This board represents a score of employers associations and favors present wages, if employees will work harder and produce more goods. his ys;.tlae hoard, ..seerns to be the only means of escaping the vicious circle by which an increase in the cost of living is used as a reason for de- manding higher wages which, in turn, are important factors in high prices of goods, resulting in another rise in the cost of commodities consumed by the worker"
 This statement, to the superficial reader, cleverly conveys the impres- sion that the workers are responsible for present living costs. A careful reading of the statement, however, shows that the employers acknowledge the workers are not responsible and that when workers attempt to meet increases by wage advances the em- ployers seized the opportunity to give H. C. of l.. another boost.
 According to this reasoning, if a man defended himself against the at tack of a highWayman he would be guilty of assault and battery.

LOW PAY HURTS SCHOOLS.

Washington Doubling the salaries of public school teachers within the next five years, and an addition of 50 per cent. before another 10 years is passed, so that the minimum average salary for teachers would be $1,500, is the program urged by United States Commissioner of Education Claxton, in a statement just issued.
 Teachers are now paid less for their work than any other class of workers said the commissioner, "and the increase in their pay in the last few years has in nowise been in keep ing with the increase in pay of other workers, or with the increase in the cost of living. While the cost of liv- ing has increased approximately 80 per cent, the salaries of teachers have increased only about 12 per cent.
 "Many of the better teachers are leaving the schools and their places are taken by men and women of less native ability, less education and cul- ture and less training and experience.

DISTRICT LODGE
 l. A: OF M. MEETING
w. A. Ives Company of Walling- ford Have Again Signed Wage and Working Hour Agreement With I. A. of M.

NEW HAVEN-At the regular meeting of District Lodge No. 22, I A. of M., held in Trades Council hall
 Saturday evening, March 1. The del egates reports seem to indicate very slight betterment in the labor situa- tion in certain places in the state.
 Resolutions were adopted, and voted sent to all the locals of the I. A. of M. throughout the country, requesting them to have their delegates to their central labor unions call to the atten- tion of all organized labor everywhere that the W. A. Ives Company of Wal lingford, manufacturers of the "Mephisto" auger bit, and a very fine screwdriver, have, after considerable discussion, signed an agreement for another year with the I. A. of M., the Dropforgers and the Polishers, and no man can work in their plant unless he carries a union card. The company refused at first to renew their agree ment with these organizations this year, contending that organized labor did not demand their goods, and they were unable to compete with other iiIHS III Gue SGdte udhiHS GHc SdiHe line of goods, who operate. their plants ten hours a day instead of eight, and pay their men lower wage scale with no extra pay for overtime. The company is we'll pleased with coll. lective bargaining, and the union methods generally, but think since they are fair to organized labor, or ganized labor should demand their goods when purchasing such tools.
 Certainly as this is the only hard ware manufacturing company in this state operating on the union shop principle, every union man in the state should for the best interests of labor demand the goods of this firm when purchasing such tools.

principles of organized labor. The press would seem to believe that the proper place to look for the endorse ment and spreading of such propa- ganda would naturally be the Central
 Labor Union, for early on the morn ing of February 25, the morning these
 communications were received in this
 city, reporter for the New Britain
 Herald was earnestly searching for
 John F. Quinn, to find out if the Gen. tral Labor Union had endorsed any
 such thing as an American working
 mans party. The reporter was unable to find MT. Quinn, as he was in Bristol
 arranging for an open meeting of the I. A. of M, but was so fortunate as to find H. B. Gardiner, who was very
 soon able to convince the reporter of
 the fact that the only party en- dorsed by the Central Labor Union
 was political party named the Amer ican Labor party.
 Whether the press generally throughout the country is ignorant of
 the principles of organized labor through lack of interest in it, or through fear of the manufacturers
 associations and chambers of com merce, we do not know, but certain it is that something is radically wrong
 with the press, or anyone else, when, after the recent demonstration of patriotism by organized labor, they consider for one single instant the pos sibility of any Central Labor Union endorsing or spreading such propa- ganda.
 Aims of Organized Labor
 As any one at all familiar with working conditions in New Britain is we'll aware, conditions here at present cause what both Count Tolstoy and
 MT. Sullivan claim to be the real in centives to Bolshevism, that is idle ness, instead of preventing it.
 As organized labor is always striv- | ing to so shape conditions as to make work for all, good working conditions
 for all, and decent wages for all, it would seem that the Central Labor Union, the highest representative
 body of organized labor in any city, would be the last place in which to look for either the origin of or the endorsing of any such propaganda as this article describes.

well developed, did not take their
decorations very seriously.
They say, for example, that when
King Albert and Queen Elizabeth
of Belgium visited the American
headquarters in France, they
handed out decorations with a gen
crosby that was hard to appreciate
for some Of the men who thought
medal was a proof of bravery.
Queen Elizabeth is said to have
bestowed a Belgian war cross on a
lieutenant for the heroic and grace
full way in which he took the posi-
ton of officer of the day during a
dress parade. The orderly at Gen
eral Pershing's headquarteI was
decorated for the snappy and eff
f1ciN1t manner in which he saluted
the royal couple. 1t is even said
that the cook, or someone else in
connection with the officers mess,
was decorated for making such
successful appeal to their majesties'
pa .es.
3 suspicion was also aroused in
the breasts of American privates
that decorations went to rank
rather than to courage. Whenever a
foreign government bestowed decor
atoms, it generally asked for list
of American officers from head
quarters, and the decorations were
generally bestowed upon the same
men-the men highest up.
These instances are not cited in
Disagreement of the holders of all
foreign decorations, for the vast
majority of such military honors
were merited and earned This is
especially true of award of Amer
lean decorations. The awards of our
war crosses and medals were made
only after a careful investigation
OF each individual case. Up to the
present time there have been $500
distinguished service crosses
awarded; 1900 distinguished ser
vice medals and Is medals of
honor. Approximately 5000 for
eign decorations have been bestow-
ed upon Americans.
Has Many Medals.
General Pershing, OF course, is
the most decorated man in the
American army, and if he tried to
wear all is medals at once he would
look almost as splendid as one of
the medal trays in a military store.
His decorations include the Brit
ish Grand cross of the Order of the
