Tired Workers
A Serious Menace To The
Welfare Of The State.

Washington.-In survey of long
working hours of women in Indiana,
the woman-in-industry service of the
department of labor says that 'long
hours for the workers have been rec
ognized by the United States supreme
court as a serious menace to the well
fare of the state. In support of this
statement excerpts are printed from
the defendants brief in the case of
Bunting VS.. Oregon, which led the
court to uphold an Oregon law limit
ing women's work day to 10 hours.
can overtired person." says the
brief, "is literally a poisoned person,
poisoned by his own waste products.
These wastes are poisonous impuri-
ties arising from the chemical proc
esses of cellular life They circulate
in the blood, poisoning brain and ner-
vous system, muscles, glands and 9th
er organs, until finally burned up
by the oxygen brought by the blood,
removed by the liver or Kidneys or
eliminated through the lungs.
Recently Investigations show that
not only in the dangerous trades, but
in all industries, permanent predis-
position to disease and premature
death exists in the common phenome-
non of fatigue and exhaustion This
is a danger common to all workers,
even under good working conditions,
in practically all manufacturing isdus-
tries, as distinguished from the spe-
cially hazardous occupations
"In ordinary factory wcr.;, where no
special occ1pational diseases threaten,
fatigue in itself constitutes the most
imminent danger tc the health of the
workers tecaase. .f unrepaired, it un-
dermines vitality and t1 : lays the
foundatioa for many diseases.

Living Wage Demands
Cause Considerable Work
and Annoyance" To Man
ufacturers.

Los Angeles, Calm reporting the
annual banquet of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, local
newspaper says:
'tIn regard to the labor situation
during the year, President Woodill
stated that the demands of labor for
increased wages and shorter hours
have caused considerable work and
annoyance.
The Citizen, owned by the trade un-
ion movement, makes this comment:
mot one word of protest was ut
tered at the banquet against the un-
precedented cost of the necessities of
life, which, according to federal sta
tistics, have increased per cent
within the past four years.
''The day will come when the mer-
chants of Los Angeles no longer will
permit themselves to be used as cats
paws by grasping employers of large
numbers of men. These sharks have
grown enormously wealthy at the ex-
pense of thousands of underpaid
working men. Merchants have moth
ing in common with such individuals
"Good wages mean good times. 1t
is remarkable that there is even one
merchant who does not realize this
self-evident fact"

"WriSt Watch WeareTS
Must Have Liberty"
ThundeTS Law Maker

Washington.-Dur debate on the
post office appropriations bill Sena-
tor Thomas of Colorado, opposed re-
ducing the censorial powers of the
postmaster general and defended a
mans right to wear wrist watch
Senator Borah wanted to repeal the
censorship sections of the espionage
law Senator Thomas announced he
would vote against the proposal and
offered some technical reason. But
to prove his love for liberty he re-
ferred to a newspaper story that Fed
eral Judge Lands of Chicago ordered
a witness to remove his wrist watch
because he did not belong to the army.
II think a member of the bench
guilty of such infinitesimal, contemp-
tible despotism should be impeached," !"
thundered the law maker II think
any judge who would so conduct him
self betrays by such conduct his ut
ter unfitness for that or any other
public office"
Senator Lewis of Illinois, who is
acquainted with Judge Lands, sug-
gested that the judge "was making
a humorous reflection upon certain of
ficials of the army who always wear
wrist Watches"
This did not satisfy Senator Thorn
as, who took another wallop at tyr
amy. He said "such incidents serve
very largely to confirm that preju-
dice against federal courts Which is
one of the characteristics of the time,
and is based largely upon assumptions
of petty tyranny and oppression that
are unworthy of the bench and dis
agreeable to it's occupants"
The Colorado senator then voted to
continue the censorial powers of tile
postmaster general.
But the western patriot served no
tice on federal judges that they have
no censorial powers over wrist
watches.

Double Time
For Carpenters On Govern
ment Work Reinstated
By War Board.

San Antonio-The national war la
Dor board has recommended that
double time be paid for work done
on Saturday by carpenters employed
on government work Last August
government officials ordered that only
time and one-half be paid. The work
ers stayed on the job and appealed to
the war labor board. 1t is ordered
that the double time be reinstated and
that the carpenters be paid the diff
erence between this and time and
one-half, dating from August Is last.
The employees insisted that San
Antonio is not union-shop town in
the building industry. To this claim
the national war labor board says:
"The report of the examiner and
the letters and exhibits, both from the
employers and the workers, leave no
boubt but that the building trades of
San Antonio, Texas, had established,
in June, 1917, union-shop town with
as large percentage OF the building
trades men in the union as there is in
what is known as a union city and
place in the United States"

Would Starve Machinists.
To Compel Them To Accept
Unfair Conditions.

Jersey City, N. il. O. Koven &
Brother have shut down their metal
works in this city until such time as
our employees are ready to return to
work under the conditions we have
named"
These business men have discovered
that some of their machine shop en-
ployes "have been annoyed" by other
employees because they have been
working at a lower rate than that de-
manded by the Machinists' union.
MATTERS have reached a point
where it has to be decided whether
we are going to run our own busi-
ness" it is stated "and we are GO
ing to insist on our right to employ
whom we wish and to decide for our
selves what we can afford to pay
''This machine shop will shut down
tonight and will remain closed until
such time as our employees are ready
to return to work under the condi-
tlonS we nave named.
eve cannot allow other people to
tell us how much we shall pay and
who we shall pay it to-"
The announcement closes with this
unconscious sarcasm:
"We sincerely hope that our en-
ployes will realize the fairness of our
stand and continue with their work
under these conditions"
The machinists have refused to
place their welfare in the hands of
L. o. Koven & Brother, who are now
facing a strike The firm has orders
for navy work.

Burke, Idaho.-Organized mine,
mill and smelter workers have ap-
pealed to the Idaho state federation of
labor to assist them because of the
refusal of employers to fulfill prom
ises made during the liberty loan
campaigns
The unionists say they were as
sured steady employment if they
bought bonds on installments and that
where the worker could not continue
payment the employer would refund
bond himself. The mines are now shut
down and the employers reject their
the amount paid thereon and take the
agreement Many workers find them
selves with partially paid bond and
no employment, with the alternative
of borrowing money at excessive
rates or losing the bond.
The unionists say they know of in
stances where a $50 bond was sold
for $50 to enable the worker to seek
employment elsewhere.

dignity this popularity. His work is
above reproach in every way and just
bubbles and effervesces with fun. His
humorous character impersonations of

platform in Scotch costume, which
gives setting to his bagpipe and vocal
solos as well as his impersonations.

the eternally interesting themes of
love and peace.
The boys will render the first half
hour Of their program in their ser
vice uniforms -snappy, jazzy songs of
the camp and the march. like 81 Hate
to Get Up in the Morning." the rally
songs and love ballads of the dough
boys-all with the typical doughboy
spirit.
For the main part of their program
they appear in evening dress as a
straight male quartet giving such an
entertainment as only male voices of
perfect blend and harmony can give.
Passing from gems of classical and
operate music they render in their
inimitable manner the latest popular
airs. Then for variety comes comic
readings, monologues. and specalities
by various members of the Company.
The byceum management presents
this company with great confidence
because each of the members of the
company has had extensive experience
in platform work before entering the
service and there would be no doubt
of the success of the attraction as an
ordinary civilian quartet With their
unique experience as a background
and the timely songs of trench and
camp as an interesting part of their
program. this quartet is bound to be
one OF the features of the Lyceum
Course this season.

Few people realize the part that mu-
sic has had in the winning of the war.
That never give in spirit called morale
is largely product of the cheerful
ness due to the songs Of the men on
the march and in camp. And we
have all heard these songs sung-but
most of us only at second hand.
The Soldiers Quartet, composed of
four young men from the A. L. F.
will render program on the local
byceum Course that will completely
satisfy the longing of the home folks
to hear at first hand the songs of the
boys in khaki.
These soldier boys bring us the
great World War in music And the
songs they will sing will show us that
not all of the war was tragedy Much
of it was fun and good fellowship
and so in their program these soldier
lads will show us the combination of
fun, thrills and tragedy which is mod
ern war. They will portray in song
and pantomime the many sides of the
life that has made men out of weak
ings and heroes out of towards.
Besides the quartet numbers there
are excellent solos and duets Each
member of the company is capable of
sustaining his own part in solo work

will be one of the very enjoyable fea-
tures of the program.
Their songs cover wide variety
