Big Sisters Troubles

Dear Cynthia Il haven't seen any
problems like mine My sister had a
boy friend for two or three years. but
they have had n scrap. Now this young
fellow Is college graduate and is stuck
on himself. His parents and relatives
think him very fine and show their
thoughts. He is also stubborn but will
not admit he is wrong.
My sister has not gone out with any
other boys since then and he has not
gone out with another girl.
Now one thing l would like TO do is
bring them together, but do not know
how.
I love my sister, but she does not
know it, and I would do anything for
her, ] am thirteen years of age, II the
age will do any good. TROUBLED.
You are very nice little girl to want
to straighten matters out, but am
afraid II is best 10 let sister do that
See. dear YOU may not understand all
the sides of the story. If II is the
young man who is stubborn, it would
not help any to ask sister TO give
in. and yet that seems to be tho only
solution. Don't worry, little girl. Big
girls often seem to get enjoyment out OF
their love spsts and anyway, OIL the
whole, nearly everything comes out righ,
sooner or later.

'J'd love to-" said Ruth eagerly,
F'leta smiled still more engagingly.
You're too good player to be wasted

play for small stakes"
Not for the world would Ruth have
admitted that the information surprised
her or that she had never played for
money To admit such a thing would
have placed her instantly in a class
with Natalie and the others. A strange
little feeling did sweep over her. She

HAVE LITTLE HOPE.

The resolutions recently adopted
by Congress on the Irish question
have been formally transmitted to
the Peace Conference. What the
outcome will be remains to be seen,
but it is safe to conjecture that the
matter will receive no more consid-
GRAFTON than on previous occasions.
In spite of the numberless demands
made on our delegates at the con-
ference that the Irish question be
acted upon nothing has been done.
Repeated excuses have been offered
and the whole matter skillfully side
tracked. ireland is asking no favor,
but merely demanding that the Irish
people be not excluded from the APP
plication of the principle of self de-
termination. 1t is ridiculous to pic
ture England as the "friend of the
downtrodden and oppressed" and
the PROTECTOR and saviour of all
small nations" for her professed
democracy can in no way De recon-
ciled with her practical autocracy.
Moreover, Notwithstanding the fact
that America fought the war to free
all nations from the yoke of their
oppressors and repeatedly proclaim
ed to the world that this high ideal
was the object to be attained by her
sacrifices, cur representatives in the
Peace Conference will not speak out
for the independence of the Irish
republic. Instead of acting as the
protagonists of liberty and justice,
as America expected, they were
helping Lloyd George and England,
whose schemes are not being put
forward for Americas benefit.

GIVES GOOD RULES.


The American Federation of La
Dor was wise and conservative
throughout all it's deliberations and
it is cheering news that the radical
delegates were decisively beaten
when they contended for Bolshevist
and Socialist measures. Now that the
great wor is over the abor problem
will confront the American people.
In this the welfare of the country
Is involved, and organized labor
should live up faithfully to all its
contracts. For example we cite the
international Typographical Union,
which has always conceded the en-
ployers the same rights demanded
for it's members.
Last Saturday two warning notes
were sounded in Chicago, which de-
serve the careful consideration of
every American trades unionist.
William Howard Taft, speaking be
fore the National Hardwood Lum-
Der Association, gave employers a
rule of four" for minimizing la
Dor disputes and rendering them
harmless" Here are the rules:
Recognize the right of collective
bargaining among workers.
Support the honest, conservative
elements in the trade unions.
"Aid your employees to better
themselves.
Combat Bolshevism and l. VI.
W.-ism uncompromisingly." \
Ex-President Taft said that his
work on the War Labor Board
showed that a great number of la
Dor troubles could have been avoid
ed merely by each sides making its
position clear to the other.
Warning that every strike or
walkout in violation of the union
agreement with the Government was
"a nail in the coffin of collective
bargaining" was voiced by Judge
Samuel Alschuler during an investi-
cation of labor difficulties in Chi
cago packing plants. After hearing
several union employees of Wilson G.
Co. explain their grievances he said:
every time you men walk out,
as you have done in the past ten
days, you are violating contract
between you and the Government
and giving unionism a black eyA>
You are embarrassing your officials
in their efforts to carry out their
agreement"
The investigation was started at
the instance of certain packers who
to the Judge that the
union men we're not living up to the
wage and, working conditions award
which he gave as arbitrator a year
ago.
Here are two men, not members
Of organized labor, giving good ad-
vice and rules that should be fol-
lowed. ami which would go far to
eliminate all labor troubles.
