Gil to be held in pepetuty for the association The boys
have already renamed the island calling after "Treas
ure Island' after Robert Louis Stevensons immortal
story There generations of boys will learn the delights
.f life in the open while those not familiar with of the
greatest adventure stories in the world will probably be-
come So as they learn the for the islands name.

observance Of Boy Scout Week. with the especial end in
view of showing recognition of the faithful services of the

and its understanding of boysh hearts and will profit
more than the boys WILL which is saying good deal.

SOME REASONS MAKING
HIGH PRICES IN SHOES

L. F. Carver, of the Hyde & Carver
shoe company, gave some of the rea-
sons why shoe prices have advanced
so materially within the past few
years. After passing quickly over the
added cost of leather. due to it's in
creased use in autos, the greatly re-
duced areas of open pastures in the
West-the lands having been occupied
by small farmers, the added cost that
has come to all commodities in the
war-price raise, he told Of the greater
cause that has operated to make shoe
prices high.
"Note," Mr.. Carver said, "the high
tops to these shoes; note, too, the high
grade of finish. Every button must
be just so; every button hole must be
perfect; the leather must be kid, il
can't be anything cheaper in stock

BOTTLE co. STILL OUT

The outlook at the American Bottle
Co. is practically the same as last
week. Much trouble is being expert
enced in their futile endeavors to
operate the plant by electricity and
gas engines run by two scabs. All
the steam boilers are dead, as no one
can be found to operate them.
The unaccountable hostility dis
played by this fourishing institution
towards union labor is to be greatly
deplored, more especially in face of
the facts that business has been i'm
proving steadily during the past few
months, and also of the fact that the
consumption of their output depends
in a great measure upon the patron
age and friendship of organized labor.
1t is to be hoped that a settlement of
the difficulty may soon be effected.

SITUATION AT THE b. & O.

The stories carried by the city
dailies regarding the walk-out of the
B. & o. boilermakers Monday morn
ing are not correct and are mis-
leading.
The true situation is as follows: A
colored empioye, who was form riy
laborer, returned from army serv-
ice to resume his old position. During
his absence the Boilermakers and
Helpers Union was formed, and ac-
cording to their rules those formerly
rated as laborers were claeSed as
helpers. The laws of the Boiler
makers International Union do not
permit colored man becoming a
member of the organization. The
company officials insisted thai this
law be ignored and that the man (who
was entirely willing. to work as la
borer in other departments) should
be given a job in the boiler shop, Of
course under the circumstances this
was impossible, and was the true rel
son for the walk-out, Notwithstanding
statements to the contrary.
At this time Thursday the men
have returned to work pending an ad-
justment Of the difficulty by repre-
sentatives of the craft and B. & q.
officials, and the following gentlemen
are in Newark in attendance at the
meeting: John E. Schafer, Pres. of
Dist. No. 4, Cincinnati; A. J. Pope,
Pres. Dist. No. 81, Covington, KY;
j. B. Ungruh, Hartwell, o.; C. ".
Murphy, Carmen, East st. Louis, ILL.,;
and c. N. Fullerton, Pres. Fed. Crafts,
Washington, Ind.
1t is probable that the existing
misunderstanding will soon be ad-
justed to the satisfaction of III par
ties concerned.

which had been prepared by our En-

part of some of the brothers to be on

we hope all future meetings will be
as we'll attended.

transacted, including the election and
obligation of Oliver Mason and B. r.

Laws Favor Labor
GIVES EVIDENCE
OF FRIENDSHIP
Fifteen Laws Favorable to Cause OF
Labor Passed by Legislature
of Western State at
Last Session

Tacoma, Wash. Officers of the
Washington state federation of labor
have published the Is labor laws and
amendments passed by the last legis-
lature. 1t is declared that "this is the
greatest accomplishment ever made
at any one session, and yet lacks a
great deal of all that labor desired"
The list includes an anti-injunction
law similar to the Clayton act. The
law declares that the labor of hui
man being is not commodity or arti-
Gle of commerce.
Pioneer legislation in this or any
other state provides for state and dis
trict boards, on which labor is rep
resented, to reduce accidents in in
dustry. Employers and employed will
select their own representatives.
The first-aid law is amended so that
the state shall furnish artificial limbs
and lenses. The board can reject any
contract that does not protect the
worker and can supply the injured
worker with another doctor where the
doctor provided under the contract is
not producing satisfactory results.
The board can also engage specialist
and charge the expense to the con-
tract. These amendments are a
blow to company doctors.
The widows pension is increased
from $40 to $50 month, and the
maximum for widows with family
from $35 to $50.
An industrial code commission will
study industrial problems and make
recommendations to the next legis-
lature. "A
All state, county and city printing
must be done within the state and the
union scales of the Typographical
are protected.
Public school teachers will hence
forth receive equal pay, regardless
of sex. s@y+A
An amendment to the mining code
provides that where a ventilating fan
is stopped at gaseous mine employees
must not enter the mine for at least
IL hours after the fan is started and
the mine has been examined and re-
ported safe.
A small claims court is established
to dispose of cases involving sums
less than 500. This will protect mi
gratory workers who can now secure
small amounts of wages without the
expense of a lawyer.

URGES HIGHER AWARDS FOR
INJURED WORKERS
Day of Great Wealth Has Passed
America in More Danger From
BOneheads Than BOlsheviki.
Time to Cooperate

Harrisburg, Pain urging higher
compensation awards for injured
workers Harry Mackay, chairman of
the state compensation board, made
this statement at a conference attend
ed by employers and employed:
Pennsylvania is surrounded by a
group of competitive states that has
placed the compensation rates at 622s,
and therefore, if New Jersey, New
York and Ohio do this voluntarily,
without contest in their respective
legislatures, why should there be an
outcry in Pennsylvania? | am prob
ably in a better position than any
man present to know what moves are
being made by the wicked and igno-
rant, who are undertaking to attack
the very foundations of our demofa-
CIV and to assault our respective lnstl-
tutions through false doctrines. |
have no fear of the outcome of that
contest, provided we stand four
square upon the true principles OF
democracy, and that selfshness, ava
rice and the desire for the acquisition
of wealth do not propose formula
for these propagandists.
II read a statement recently that
was pregnant with thought. The
writer stated that America is in no
danger of the bolsheviki, but it is
dangerously threatened by the bone
heads. We must make up our minds
that the day of great wealth has
passed; that owners are no longer in
complete control and that trusteeship
for production for the benefit of the
public permeates every public utter
ance and private thought.
"There are reciprocal duties. The
responsibility for their performances
cannot be escaped, either by labor or
by the employer. Cooperation is the
watchword for this period of recon-
struction.
"Show me a child born in squalor
and poverty, neglected in its early
years, put to work as soon as it can
hold a tool, deprived of education,
underpaid and underfed, and | Will
show you the latest acquisition to
the bolsheviki, or any other associa-
ton of men or women that has at
heart the hatred of our institutions
and are yearning for a change.
"The most dissatisfied man in the
world is he who, while suffering pain
through accident, sees his family
struggling on his meager cOmpensa-
ton while he is incapacitated. Let
some one bring to him the fact that
his neighbor just across the state line,
similarly injured, is getting more
compensation, and you are going to
send him back to his work dissat1s-
fed man, ready to adopt the new and
to assault the old"

Pork Prices Up 100
Per Cent Since 1913

Washington - Retail pork prices
have jumped 100 per cent since 1913
United States labor department fig
ures show.
Hogs are more plentiful than ever
before according to department OF
agricultures figures which show that
in 1916 the total number on farms
was about 67,O0O,OO0 head, while it
now has jumped to more than 75,-
100000 head.
Storage houses are jammed win
pork, according to Investigations
made for the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
Retail pork prices then, are not re-
spending to the normal law of sup
ply and demand, officials say. Ac-
cording to this law pork prices should
drop when hogs are plentiful.
But good bacon has scared 1T per
cent in prices paid at the corner
grocery, nationwide surveys of the
labor department prove. Ham has
gone up 80 per cent and pork chops
SO per cent.
Similar boosts have not overtaken
retail prices of other meats. Sirloin
steak has jumped only 81 per cent
since 1913; round steak, rs per cent,
and rib roast but 65 per cent.
Hogs now are selling for more than
$40 per 100 pounds wholesale at the
packing cities. This represents an
increase of nearly $5 per 100 pounds
since March l.
Farmers now are getting more for
their hogs. But the increase in prices
paid them is far below the increase
in retail prices of pork cuts paid by
the consumer, say officials.
