747 ''BIC SIX"
 MEN QUIT WORK TAKE VACATIONS
Scale Committee Will Meet Employers Today-Radi-
 calls Seek Funds.

New York, Oct. 3.---To show sym pressmen's u1nons that are barred from employment in union book and job offices, TAT members of Big Six Typographical Union quit work in 12 offices yesterday. Officially they are lon vacation" and not on strike.
 Members of the Printers League employers who are working with the interna tional printing trades unions for the suppression of the radical leadership in the printing trades, said last night that for the present no at tempt would be made to fill the places left vacant by the ''yacatonists." Un- til the press rooms resume operations with union men in good standing there will, it was explained, be little real need for compositors.
 Leon H. Rouse and his associates on the scale committee of Big Six will meet the employers committee this afternoon. Rouse let it be known yesterday that he would make another attempt to have the ban on the secession unions, led by James J. Bagley and Bernard Nolan, lifted. Members of the employers commit tee said there was not the slightest chance of this being done, or of Rouse obtaining any better terms for the printers than have been offered an immediate increase of $6 8 week to SAP, with an agreement to confer on all other questions, and provid- ing for adjustments of wages from time to time, or to arbitrate every thing in issue.
 Many of the radicals who quit work during the day met in the after noon in a room adjacent to Rouse's office. There copies of letters pur- porting to pledge the support of the Chicago Typographical Union to the radicals were given out. A pamphlet reciting how Denver printers won shorter hours by taking vacations was also circulated.
 The offices out of which the com positors walked yesterday were: Fleming & Reavley, the Atlas Press, McGraw-Phil1ips Printing Company and the Isaac Goldman Company, job printers; the Charles Francis Press, printers of the Smart Set, Review of Reviews, Printe Ink and other peri odicals; the Charles SchweinIer Press printers of Hearsts Magazine, the Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeep and Leslies; the Wynkoop-HaIlen- beck-Crawford Company, printers of the American Legion Weekly; the Federal Printing Company, printers of the Iron Age, the Dry Goods Econ omist; Eliert Printing Company; printers of the Independent and the Medical Courier; Williams Printing Company, printers of the Metropoli- tan Magazine, and s. L. Parsons & Co.,, and the Berkeley Press, general printers.
 Not all the printers in these offices quit, insisting on remaining at work until ordered to quit by the union. In the majority of cases, however the radicals succeeded in forcing all hands to quit.

BAPTISTS FIRMLY
 AGAINST UNION OF ALL CHURCHES

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 3-The Baptist church is composed of many Independent democracies," and for that reason cannot become a party to an organic union of the churches of Christ in the United States. This answer was sent to representatives of IS denominations who yesterday mapped out a tentative program for the union.
 The conference was presided over by the Rev. William Henry Roberts of Philadelphia, Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian General Assembly. The leaders said the plan of procedure is not in shape for submission to the denominations, but 1t is hoped to complete it at a further meeting in Philadelphia in December.
 It was emphasized that the move ment is in no sense antagonistic to the Federal Council of Churches nor to the Interchurch World movement.

Juniors Send Box to
Odette Next Week

Do you remember little Odette
Negro? She Is the little French
orphan that the Junior Palladium
adopted, and from whom we have
received several letters, telling US
of her school and her brothers and
her mother. Her father was Kill
led in the war.
For two years the Palladium
has sent Odetts q Christmas box to
help make her have a merry Christ
mas. We have sent dresses and
hair ribbons and sugar and candy
and toys in other years. Always
there have been several Juniors
that wanted to send their little
friend in France q message or a
present. And probably many Of
you Juniors will want to do this
this year.
So. write your little letter just as
plainly as possible, and as neatly
(because she will have to take 1t
to her big brother or someone else
to translate) and bring a dress il
you have one that you have out
grown and that will fit a girl eleven
years old, or hair ribbons or candy
or toys. and write your name on a
card-a real Christmas card would
be nice-and bring 1t to the Pallad-
ium office by next Wednesday eve
ming, and it will go Immediately on
its way to France and to the
Juniors own little-friend, Odette.
On account of the lack Of sugar
in our own country, we will prob
ably not be able to send any of that
in the box this year.

To Mother Fairy
Good old Mother Fairy,

Good old Mother Fairy,
Sitting by your fire,
Have you any little folk
You would like to hire?
I want no chubby drudges,
To milk and churn and spin.
Nor old and wrinkled Brownies
With grizzly boards and thin.
But patient little people.
With hands of busy care,
And gentle speech and loving
hearts
Say, have you such to spare?
Good old Fairy Mother,
Can't you lend me some
Dear little loving people
To loan me for my home?

not know yet, exactly what makes
up electricity. We can see the re-
suits OF 1t and we know how to pro-
duce electric forces, but nobody
seems to have found out just what
electricity is. Scientists now
think Of it as a medium made up

now is very, very much bigger than

it before with it's six continents,
and as many oceans, for scientists
have found that there are many
other planets and suns beside the
earth we live on, and the sun that
wakes us up every morning. And
stars-they are always finding new
stars. The stronger the lens in
the telescope, the more stars and
planets appear, so it is impossible
to even begin to think of how many
