BARTENDERS FIX THE RULES
New York Dispensers Plan
Working Conditions
Fix Hours and Rate of Pay to Be
Exacted
Services of Drink Mixers Still
Required
They Have Hopes of Bright
Days Ahead

New York Bartenders met on Au-
gust % and announced their decision
as TO the minimum wage and maxi
mum of working hours scale They
are apparently undismayed by the ad-
vent of Prohibition. y,
The minimum wage rate is fixed
at $50 per week except where the
employer provides him with meals,
in which case the rate will be SIS per
week. 1t is specified that the bartend-
ers will do no cleaning up or ice
chopping.
Ten hours is the maximum days
work. This action was taken by the
Bartenders' Protective and Benevo-
lent Association 1t is said they antic-
ipate a greater demand then ever for
their services. Particular attention
was paid to compensation for extra
work. This provision, it seems, ap-
plies particularly to Prohibition liq-
uids. Anyone in this line of work
dispensing soft drinks in public halls,
parks and conventions will call eight
hours and even less a good working
day and he will be backed up in this
stand by the Association. Six hours
is the least he will accept for this
employment by the day and if asked
to work overtime, the rate is fixed
at Is cents per hour for every hour
and fractions thereof Over eight
hours, the charge is $100 an hour
and carfare besides when the employ
ment is outside the city limits.
River excursions come higher
though the drink mixer will work
10 hours without striking. His COM
pensation for this is to be $500 per
day and meals and $l,00 an hour for
every 90 minutes over the 10 hours.
The final caution to employers who
desire to avoid making mistakes when
employing bartenders, says the New
York Herald, is contained in the
following paragraph from the official
bulletin:
"Bartenders or soft drink dispensers
are prohibited from doing porter
work, such az cleaning mirrors, wood
work, ETC., tapping beer, carrying
boxes, or chopping ice except the ice
that is regularly used for mixing the
drinks"

POLICE Chief GETS EKJoINED
Sacramento Police Head Ordered
Beer Sales Stopped

Danger of Violation

Superior Judge Busick of Sacra-
mento, Cal. granted temporary in
junction to the Tacoma Brewing
Company restraining the Commits
sioner of Public Health and Safety
and Chief of Police of Sacramento
from interfering with the sale of the
liquors of the company. The Tacoma
Brewing Company, which has its
headquarters in San FranciscoA filed
suit to enjoin the city officials from
curtailing its sales in Sacramento.
The chief of police acting on the in
structions received from the Depart
ment of Public Health and Safety,
notified the Brewing Company sew
eral days ago that it would be forced
to discontinue operations i'll the city
unless city license for the sale of
malt liquors was obtained
In its complaint the Brewing Com
pany claims its brew has only us
per cent alcohol and asserts that no
license is necessary for its sale be-
cause it is a Notwithstanding drink
The commissioner said that the city
ordinance does not refer to intoxi-
eating liquors but provides that Ii
cense must be obtained to sell wines,
spirituous or malt liquors and de-
clared that the product of the
Tacoma Brewing Company is sold as
malt liquor and therefore must be
sold under the license.
The sales manager OF the Tacoma
Brewing Company brings the charge
that the Buffalo Brewing Company
is selling beer at wholesale without
the wholesale license and asserts
that the commissioner is showing
Partially when he demands Ii
cense from the Tacoma concern.
The Commissioner declared that
the Buffalo Brewing Company oper-
ates under the manufacturers license
as it has done for more than 20 years
and that this license was one of the
city ordinances demands.

RATS LOSE PERSONAL
LIBERTY IN ENGLAND
determination, Not Regulation, is
Contemplated for Vermin Charged
With Destroying Much Foodstuffs
and Crops

(From the European Bureau of the
American Issue, 90 Fleet Street
London.)
Great Britain is waking up to the
evil of the rat and is proposing to
take drastic steps to PROHIBIT
not to regulate-the vermin. The per-
sonal liberty of the rats are not to be
considered for a moment.
On July "a Lord Aberconway
moved the second reading of the Rat
Destruction Bill, which empowers
local authorities, where they are OF
opinion that rats are causing pre-
yentable damage to or destruction OF
foodstuffs or crops within their dis
trict, to take such measures as they
think proper for the destruction OF
these pests. The noble lord men
toned that the damage and loss
caused to foodstuffs and crops by
rats had been estimated at as much
d. q fo,ooo,OoO d year.
Lord Lambourne and Lord Bled-
isloe supported the bill.
Lord Ernie, president of the Board
OF Agriculture, in welcoming the bill,
said it would clear the way for the
more drastic measure dealing with
the same subject which the Govern
ment would shortly introduce. He
hoped the House would give the bill
a second reading, on the understand
ing that as soon as the Government
bill was brought before their lord
ships it should have precedence over
the bill now under discussion.
The bill was read a second time,
the protests Of the rats and their
rights of vested interests not being
considered at all
The American method of eliminat-
ing an evil bears promise Of being
adopted SO far as the rats are con-
cerned.

SPIRITS DISTRIBUTED
TO GERMAN WORXMEN
AS Allowance Was Made to Soldiers
to Inspire Courage, So Is Allot-
ment given Workers to Maintain
Good Morale"

A dispatch from Berne published
in L'Ordre Public paris, June IS,
1919 says that in Welt am Montag
Oune O. DR.. Frosch deplored the
fact that enormous quantities of spir-
its are being distributed to the Ger
man people as chcaply as possible.
"The high command" he is quoted
as saying, "has taken the precaution
to have great reserves of spirits, es-
pecially of schnapps, brandy and cor
dials." During the war they were
served freely to the defenders of the
fatherland to reward them for heroic
acts and to spur them to new ex-
ploits. Today alcohol is designed to
maintain good morale" among the
workingmen. Employers distribute a
liter of spirits every fortnight at
astonishingly cheap rates. Social de-
mocracy has done much against al
coholism, but now that i. is in power
it accords workingmen a special right
to schnapps.

English pound, $29, 27o, 500, and net
profit of 92,175,S00 ($10,S79,000)
This net profit was $4,27o,500 more
than that for the last complete year
before the war. Moreover, the COM
pany paid to the government during
the year in excise and license duties
and other taxations, the enormous sum
of $4,000, 400 or $23,332,000. The or
binary man in the street would think
that stupendous payment Ike this
would cut out all chance OF dividends
to the shareholders. Not bit of it
We read that the ordinary shareholder
in the Guinness concern received 10
percent dividend for the fourth year
in succession, and received it free oil
income tax.
There are two or three other inter
csting items mentioned by the Chron-
icle. Early in the year million
sterling ($5,00000O was withdrawn
by the company to pay bonus to the
ordinary shareholders in 5-per cent
war loans. Also the company pro-
vijes for rainy day by keeping in
tact neat little reserve fund of E1,-
865, 900 ($o, 32s,0o0).
Startling as these figures are, it
must also be remembered that they
apply to one concern only. There are
to be considered such firms as those
of Bass with Lord Burton at its
head), Watney, Allsopp (Lord Hand
lip, the Junior Whip in the House of
Lords is the grandson Of the former
head of this concern), and more than
a score of others whose subscribed
capital runs into the millions.
These are some OF the great fortih-
cations OF the liquor trade with which
Temperance reformers find themselves
confronted. But perseverance vincit.

may be protected with a paper

inches above the ground and /
inch in the ground. With some
plants it isn't practical tho to
put paper collars or tin cans on
them.
For the protection of all plants
in the garden that may be eaten
by the cut worm, you might try
poisoned bran. 1t has proven
very effective and easy to apply.
The proportions are as follows:
Wheat bran, 25 pounds; paris
green or white arsenate l h., 6
finely chopped lemons or oranges
2 quarts low grade molasses and
21a gallons of water. You may
make only a small mash in the
above proportions. The lemons
and oranges may be possibly
omitted, or use little vinegar to
give the mash a slight acidity.
The writer has omitted the lem
ons and oranges with good re-
suits.
Spread the mash on the ground
and around the plants in the eve
ming. The cutworms come up at
night to eat. A mash using only
one half pound of bran should be
sufficient to spread over the
average city or country garden.
The full formula is enough for
several acres. Chickens must be
kept away from the poisoned
mash. Do not spread the mash
close up to the plant; it is not
necessary where there are rows:
for example beans, spread along
side of the row a few inches
from the row.

ARBUCKLE's NEW COMEDY
ssThe Bell Boy" to Be Shown at
the Unique Theatre June l4-l5

Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle's
newest comedy 'The Bell Boy"
will be presented at the Unique
Theatre Saturday and Sunday
nights, June 18th and 18th. The
scene of this latest Paramount
Arbuckle comedy is laid in the
village of Ouch-gosh, which is a
corruption of the name of Osh-
kosh, and Mr.. Arbuckle portrays
the role of a jack-of-all-trades, a
young man who simultaneously
discharges the functions of bell
boy, waiter, barber, elevator
man, and general utility man. He
is ably supported by AL. St.
John, the hotel clerk. Buster
Keaton, the assistant bell boy,
Joe Keaton, a village banker, and
Alice Lake a manicurist.
Of course everybody falls in
love with the manicurist and all
alike make strenuous efforts to
win her hand. AL and Buster
double cross Fatty after franz
ing up a fake bank robbery, but
when Fatty overcomes a real
bank robber and turns the tables
upon the others he becomes a
hero indeed. The comedy is FILL
ed with mirth-provoking Incl
dents and from beginning to end
has strong grip upon the at
tention of the audience. Through
out the action the famous stunts
of Mr.. Arbuckle are much in
evidence.

SUNDAY CLOSING AGAIN

Somebody at Huron plans to
have a popular vote through the
initiative on the proposal to
close the moving picture houses
on Sunday. He thinks that the
last legislature was buffaloed by
the moving picture men and a
few newspapers and that the
masses of the people will vote for
tight Sunday, so far as the
moving picture is concerned.
Men who believe in the live
and-let-live policy should well
come chance of a popular vote
on this question. 1t should be re-
called that the present Sunday
law, in referendum vote, a few
years ago, carried by only a few
hundred votes though no cam
paign was made against it. To-
day, we believe it would be i'm
possible to get a majority vote
for the present Sunday law, to
say nothing of the proposal to
make it tighter. If those people
who want to dictate to the other
man just what he shall do on
Sunday really thinks that the
majority of the people of the
state agree with them, we hope
they will spring the issue and get
popular vote. If their bill isn't
voted down by majority of two
to one, we shall be truly surpris-
ed. Men and women who ride
through the country on Sundays
in their autos, who attend pic
mics or are members of country
clubs are not going to deny the
poor man the particular kind of
recreation that he enjoys on Sun
day.
BY all means let us get a popu-
lar vote on this matter; and the
sooner the better.
