The Voice of the Young Men

MERE is a greater awakening for America in
the return of the young man than there was
in his going to war.
He comes back the same boy perhaps, but a
different man.
His ideas are changed. He has reached heights
and sounded depths unknown to the rest of us.
He is old in tragic experience, but young in spirit
and daring; and with stange-hOd on few funda-
mental truths.
Many of the old things do not matter to him, but
he has a new sense of the things that are worth
whle-and he must be right because he has faced
stark facts.
Life to him is more sharply accentuated-at once
lighter and more serious.
A Truer Sense of He has a better measure of men
To1noc and things. He knows how to
gauge a store or a maker. He is
a keen judge of motives.
He knows something of the war profiteer and
peacetime repentance leaves him uncOnvinced.
Heknows the difference between price and values.
There is no lure in the thing he does not want.
He knows the war-record of The House of
Kuppenheimer through their service uniforms, as
well as their civilian clothes.
He knows cts steady as does it, and that
throughout the whole war period as well as now,
Kuppenheimer prices were based on the cost of
material and labor with a small profit ON an enor-
NOUS turnover.

LIGHT DAWNING
PUBLIC BEGINNING TO REALIZE
MINERS WERE RIGHT
People Hoodwinked by Gross Misrep-
resentatiOn of Capitalistic Press
Now See the Justice of
Workers Demands

Washington - Official Washington
takes ga morning after" attitude
toward the miners strike and the
drastic methods employed by the de-
partment of justice to drive the
miners back in to the mines. The
sweeping victory" won by Attorney
General Palmer, it is now patent, has
left nasty taste in the mouths of
the American people.
Unfortunately for the miners, their
case had not been clearly stated to
the public, and in consequence there
was an entirely erroneous conception
of the merits of their contention. The
press generally misrepresented the
issue involved, and government of
ficials were at no pains to enlightan
the public. 1t served their purpose
admirably to cultivate a prejudice
against the miners, for in no other
manner was it possible to secure ap-
proval of the arbitrary and extra
legal methods adopted to Illustrate
the legitimate aspirations of a large
group of toilers who deserve, and now
are receiving, sympathy and support
instead of opposition and execration.
1t was not until Judge Anderson
had entered his mandatory order
directing the miners officers to recall
the strike order that the press made
any effort to give the public a proper
statement of the true issues of this
great controversy. This laggard
manifestation Of justice but renders
more despicable the former studied
misrepresentation.
Not one man in a thousand really
knew that the miners were striking
not to reduce hours and to decrease
production, but for more hours and
for increased production. Had the
public know that the demand upon
which the miners and operators had
split was for stabilized working
day, affording a wage sufficient for
the barest necessities of the miners
and their families, it would not so
eagerly aligned upon the side of the
employers.
Statistics compiled by the federal
Department of Labor prove that since
the signing Of the armistice the
miners have averaged but twenty-five
working hours per week. They de-
manded minimum working week of
thirty hours. Had this -pitiably in
adequate demand been granted, there
would have been increased production,
and profiteering operators would nave
been unable to maintain exoroitant
prices.
What the miners were fighting for
was the public interest. Of course,
the public did not realize it until too
late. Mendacious publicists had
adroitly camoufaged the true situa-
ton, and grievous injury was sus-
tanned by these patient and long
suffering toilers.

MILLS NOT RUNNING

Misunderstanding steel workers
at Johnstown, Pa, deny newspaper
claims that the big Cambria mills in
that city have resumed operations.
Early this week it was stated that
1900 strikers have returned to work
and the mills have again resumed"
This is denied by the workers who
say even if it were true this would
show that the mills have been badly
managed. Heretofore it has been
found necessary to employ from 49,
900 to $1,000 to operate the plants.

 Many people make the mistake of peeling the potato. I have found from experience that if the best re- suits are to be obtained the. skin should be left on.

CHRISTMAS SEAL INTRODUCED BY
 WOMAN

woman's far-reaching vision and her persistent belief in that vision brought into existence the Red Cross Christmas seal.
 More than a decade ago Miss Emily P. Bisse11 of Wilmington, Del, then executive. secretary of the Delaware chapter of the American Red Cross. read a paper written by Jacob Riis about a Christmas seal issued in Den mark to raise funds for a. children's hospital.
 Why not apply this method to 1t.
 Delaware's tuberculosis situation was becoming critical. More sana- Miss BisseH believed the Red Cross Christmas seal the solution of the problem.
 but she persevered. Finally she found some friends willing to sup port her first venture. The results were far beyond her expectations. From an initial investment of $40 more than $3,000 came in from the first sale. and the Hope Farm sana- toriun was given substantial finan- cial footing.
 From that modest beginning the seal sale each year has grown by leaps and bounds. The 1919 cam paign is for more than $6,5e0,oOO su that the fight against tuberculosis may be waged more strongly than ever. A recent survey by the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association show ed that in America 150,00 lives are snuned out yearly by this disease, and that there are more than one million active cases. Red Cross seals are a community's best health insurance.
