Longshoremer, Ordered
Back: BIO,r to Strikers

Perhaps the greatest blow to the
workers hopes for a complete walkout
among the 100000 men in the metro
politan shipping district came with re-
gard to the longshoremen.
John F. Riley, president of the
New York District Council Of the Inter
national Longshoremens Association,
declared last night the 10000 long
shoremen who quit work yesterday at
various points and tied up much Of tbs
shipping Of the port had been ordered
back to work. MIR. Riley said the ac-
ton of the men was premature, unwar-
ranted and unsanctioned.
Walkouts first occurred among the
longshoremen at work on the Holland
American line pier and others in Brook
lyn, according to Mr. Riley. He also
declared the National Adjustment Com
mission, which has been considering
the demands Of the longshoremen for
an increase in wages from 65 cents 20
81 an hour, would not make known its
decision until the strikers went back to
work.
Similar announcement was made by
William 2. Ripley, chairman of the
National Adjustment Commission which

The first reference to "Old King
Cole" the merry old soul" Of the ia
nous nursery rhyme, was made In a
book written by DR.. William King,
who was born in 1888. It is probable
that the song was composed in the
seventeenth century, although some
investigators think It much older.
Halliwell Identifies the merry mon
arch with Cole or Coel, semi
mythical king Of Britain who is sup
posed to have reigned In the third
century. The Scots also have an "Old
King Coul," said to have lived in the
fifth century. Freeman and other
historians say King Cole ruled Brit
ain In the sixth century. There are
many who assert that the reference to
the pipe indicates that Old King Cole
lived at period AFTER Raleigh had in
troduced tobacco into Europe, but this
does not necessarily follow, as a
pipe might mean musical instru.

new sartorial style is really cape and

how many II will hang over is yet to
be determined, but If the interest the
invention aroused at the concluding
session of the semi-annual meeting of
the American Designers association In
the Martinique hotel is sustained the
garment will acquire considerable
vogue, writes the New York CORE
spOndent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The blanket cape consists. of an army

and a detachable collar. When the

Talking Hard Luck.

bad luck never comes singly," is an
old proyerb and an untrue one. It's fall
lacy lies in the word luck. A man in
vites most of his misfortunes. Let fate
hand him one body blow and he pro-
claims the fact that something has
gone wrong. Men are so busy at their
own affairs in the world, so engrossed
in the struggle of accomplishing what
they have set out to do, that a
hanging head and dismal coun-
tenance as rule only serve to send
them on faster about their business.
They have no time to stop and ask
what is wrong. They are apr I'M

who has incurred one body blow at the
hands of fate remain indomitable, let
him continue his course aggressively,
and he will find that those about him
are as ready as ever to greet him. He
will not be jostled because he is not in
the way. How many college football
players have been badly bruised when
they were holding off because they felt
bit tired? And how seldom is one
injured when he hurls himself full tilt
into the opposition interference? The
same rule applies to life.

FINISH THE JOB

The success of the Victory Liberty
Loan, the fifth government war loan.
will depend largely on the savings of
the people of the nation.
To insure its success, we must be-
gin TO save NOW-to practice anew
the great lessons of the war, thrift
and economy. Aside from the loss of
respect for ourselves as a nation every
family will be unpleasantly affected,
If the coming loan is not fully SUI
scribed. Uncle Sans war exchequer
Is compelled to spend money at the
rate of more than three hundred mil
lion dollars week-to maintain the
army of occupation, to rehabilitate the
wounded, to bring home the victors
ana TO carry out the program of re-
construction. He has found peace in
its early stages more expensive than
war.
This money is being borrowed from
the banks of the country, and Uncle
Sam is issuing short-term notes on the
coming Liberty Loan and the Fedora.
Taxes due March Is. If the banks
were not speedily paid back, their re-
sources would be gone, and as they
could make no loans, credit operations
would be hampered and business
stagnate.
How about it? VIII we finish our
job-that Of paying the war bills, as
our immortal heroes finished theirs OF
vanquishing the Hun? They were n0l
cutters, even when called on to make
the supreme sacrifice. viii we be
cutters, when there is all to gain and
nothing to lose?
A little saving now is all it will
cost, and this saving will mean a
stronger grip on the future. The Vic
tory Liberty Loan will come in the
spring. win you be ready to do you
part?
