WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Popular

complete misinformation regarding some

Nevemher.

When autumn's glories fade away
With all their brilliant hues;
November steals in quietly,
Her latest theme pursues
Reminds us of Election day,
When righteousness prevailed;
And where the schemes of evil men
To ruin others failed.
She brings along Armistice day,
With lingering hopes of peace;
And bids us toll for that blest hour
When wars forever cease
She also brings Thanksgiving day
With its abundant cheer,
With memories of home, and friends,
And all we hold most dear.
Bright birthdays, too, are on her list
Perhaps a score or more;
| And wedding days, tide of Joy
The whole month running DER.
And last Of all. her choicest gift,
A golden wedding day.
Greets faithful ones who, side by side,
Have Travelled down LIES way
Some call November cold and chill,
Her days all dark and drear;
| Yet they, we fear, may overlook
The beauties of the year.
The hazel blooms in golden threads.
| Chrysanthemums unfold;
| The topaz gem, its light reveals,
| In rays of purest gold
The yellow corn is gathered in;
The pumpkins lie in rows:
The silent fields are golden brown;
The flaming hearthstone glows.
November is the golden month
Beyond the harvest time,
While onward through her sunset gat
| Expands a life sublime

Professional Enemies Of Crocodile.

There are men whose business it is
to catch crocodiles and who earn their
living by that means. And whenever
a human being has fallen a victim a
professional crocodile catcher is asked
to help to destroy the murderer, and o
large reward offered him. The ma
jority of natives will not interfere with
the reptiles, or take any part in their
capture, probably fearing If they dc
anything of the kind they themselves
may some time or other suffer for II
by being attacked by crocodile.

THE NEXT STEP.

The miners representatives having
rejected the recommendation of Fuel
Administrator Garfield of a II per cent
increase in wages, refused to arbitrate
the question of wages and adjourned
their conference with the operators and
the government, we are told the govern
mcnt will take control of bituminous
mines where the workmen refuse to
bituminous coal or where the operators
refuse TO pay the IA per cent increase.
The effectiveness of this move is yet to
be demonstrated. There is some ques
ion whether the government has the
power to compel men to work III the
coal mines or any other industry. 1t
can and should give full protection to
every man willing to work in the coal
mines but that does not include the
power TO make men work.
The arrest. conviction and imprison
mont of some of the strikers under tho
food end fuel act would seem possible

work are interfering with the produc-

working 800 days year he could carr
about $1,625 a year. To the average
person that seems good compensation
and it would appear that refusal t.
work for such compensation is plail
attempt to profteer.
One more step is necessary-the re
peal of every law that exempts comb
nations of labor from prosecution unde
the antitrust law of the nation. !
modern combination of labor is just a
likely to be "bad trust as the mos
fragrant combination of capital and i
/ should be treated the same as otner pat
trusts. Labor is formulating even NOR
formidable combinations. The head
of the laborers in the four basic indus
tries of this country (railroad, stee
mines and longshoremen) are arraugin,
a combination under which if anyon
class of these laborers strikes it vii
have the cooperation of the workers i
the other classes. The country canno
allow such combination to be formed
1t would be the biggest and most dan
gerous trust the country has ever had
and congress should lose no time in Civ
ing the people a law that will proven
or punish such hold-up organization.
