Better than keeping them for the
honey which they would produce
From these stings is secured the pur

customers are the manufacturing

last twenty-four years this woman has
supplied one firm with $4,000 stings
annually: other concerns take from
500 to 5000 each year, making a
yearly trade of $4,000 stings. To pro

of bees are necessary, while 1t would

Following his return to Amer

He realized that the /. w. w. and

appears, he decided TO cast his
lot with the American Fedora
ton, although yielding nothing
of his former revolutionary be-
liefs and doctrines. Among labor
men II was known that Foster
wished to get inside and work
out. He is said to have decided
that once identified with and
recognized by the Federation he
could accomplish the results he
desired for the i. w. w. and the

NAL that Foster formerly preach

charges is that he has recantsf,
that he no longer believes as

there must be mistrust of Foster

Springfield, Mass, Republican:
One of the most severe arraign-

international labor conference
was held in Budape=,. in 1911.
Foster sought to be seated as
the representative of American
labor. James Duncan. then and
now first yice-president of the
American Federation OF Labor,
had been sent to Europe as the
official delegate of the American
Federation. He encountered Fos-
ter's claims and there was
sharp contest. Duncan won the
right to sit in the council and
Foster was excluded. At the
convention OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, held in Atlanta.
November, 1911, Duncan made
report in which he said:
"A misguided man named Fos-
ter, from Chicago, claiming to

MINISTERIAL PAY AND STRIKES

In preaching as profession, as IN every
other a lamentable inequality, it not actual IN

There are underpaid ministers at one end or the
scale and at the other ministers who may, per-
haps get more than they are worth. Salaries
are considered to be rough measure OF clerical
ability and, geneally spanking, probably are
Yet in this as in all othe walks OF life exceed
ingly obscure factors complicate the problem,
and what is loosely called good luck, for want
of a better name, the favor of friends, the pos
session of snowy gifts or other seeming accl-
dent of birth or Of environment appear at times
to account for otherwise inexpGcable differ
ences in the lots Of equally merltorlous men.
When churchmen are able to explain why some
come into life physically strong and normal
while better men are crippled or diseased, they
will be closer to the answer to the question why
some of their own number are opulent and for
tunate while the lives and lots of others leave
so much to be desired
Yet it is not this but the suggestion that
ministers may unionize and strike for higher
paw that is somewhat discussed In the press.
Low salaries are said to have driven many
preachers away from the pulpit while others
are doing side-line work of various sorts. Lit

so easy to obtain as formerly, but the law of
supply and demand probably will regulate the
matter in time
AS to the right of ministers to organize and

selves to criticism if they did Their labor is
not treated as a commodity. No church hangs
