MAGICIANS NOW
have own WAR
One Section of Them Would
Tell Public How Tricks Are
Done-Other Opposed

CHICAGO, Nov. There Is strife In
the ranks OF the. maglclans Left wings
and right wings. formerly confined 10
feathered creatures and wild Reds. who
prefer tar with their feathers. have de-
veloped in the Dill Pickles Club. which
is composed Of those who make a fight
against the II. C. OF L. by convincing
the public that the hand Is speedler
than the optics. One element OF the club
opposes showing the public how tricks
are performed.
The schism came out here when
Ching Sing F0 took the floor. For 40
burning minutes he filled the air OF the
Dill Pickles Club with staccatO Can
tonese invectlve. The other magicians
sat quietly supplied by his machine gun
delivery.
Then he, relapsed and Chem Yet Sun
relalled his compatri0ts Grafton less
pictorlally.
"Ching says II the profession don't
lay or his fre-eating act, which Is his
! own invention. he will start a Tong
war" said Chem. "He says he Is for
the left wing Of the magiclans and don't
believe in giving away any tricks to
the customers"
Which Melted wild applause from the
audience, for the convention OF con-
iurers Is way OF the right wing They
say It is running the maglclan's pro-
fessiOn.
The right wing, II seems, IS the Amer
ican Association OF Magiclans. They
have sanctioned the showing OF how
the little rabbit can be plucked out OF
the cream puff. This is purely un-
ethical, the left wing contends.
This is not the only question before
the convention.
There Is the matter OF the perennial
aces. Now, by professional manipula-
tion OF one lone ace-picked from any
trade deck-fOur aces can be made to
appear. The Lorelie Mirror, an extra
smart dresser. on and or. is accused OF
selling this trick 10 gamblers who have
need for a stray ace now and then. The
Lorelie Mirror denies the charge, so

bership for fhe baby and II is the first

Miller Brothers store, with 81 en-
ployes. Is another establishment TO be
placed on the honor roll OF those stores
enrolling 100 per cent. Of employees.
The Red Cross sure was good to
me-" said a service man who paid his
years dues last night TO a worker In
front OF a movie theatre. The young
man said he had not been approached
by anyone to Join, but was glad when
the opportunity was afforded.
There were 80 memberships obtained
at the opera House last evening, five at
the Garrlck and five at the Savoy.
The workers at the booth In front OF
the Delaware Trust Company obtained
seventy-one members yesterday.
One OF the misunderstanding that
has been embarrassing the membership
campaign, has been an idea that the
money received from the membership
campaign is to be spent abroad. This
is not the case. Every penny is to be
used in this country. Fifty cents OF
each dollar will be used in Delaware
and the remaining fifty cents will be
given into the American Red Cross
treasury and this money will be spent
somewhere in the United States.
A house 10 house canvass on three
OF the business streets OF the city IS
being made today. The workers will be
allotted 10 the other streets tomorrow
and the territory extended as much as
possible, but Il will not be possible to
cover the entire city in this manner.
Children Of No II School, at Twelfth
and Scott streets, are conducting their
campaign from a booth in front OF the
school. Miss Stella Foreman Is direct
ing the drive and all OF the instructors
at the school have Joined.

From the Dover State News.
The report OF the grand jury OF Kent

the County Almshouse should be given
careful and serious consideration by the
members OF the Levy Court, who have
Jurisdiction over this institution so far
as the erection Of new buildings. and I'm
movements TO the old ones, Is con-
eerned. The grand iurymen, upon
making a trip OF inspection TO the aims
house, found that the present buildings
are insufficient to properly care Tor the
unfortunate inmates, and they make a
number Of recommendation tending to
correct this condition. These recon-
mendatlons should be carried out to
the letter, regardless Of expense, for the
unfortunate and afflicted persons who
are dependant upon the county should
be given the very best care and every
possible comfort that can be afforded
them. This Is a serious matter and
should be given immediate attention.
one pleasing feature OF the grand
iury's report 10 the court was the
praise and commentator II bestows
upon Superintendent +. z. Maloney'
whom IL characterizes as a capable
and sympathetic man." We agree with
this phase Of the report, for the county
is indeed fortunate in obtaining the
services Of a man like Mr.. Maloney 10

Labor Obeys "Thaf Impulse"
From the Iron Trade Review

did not consider itself bound to abide
by the decisions Of the conference, was
so bald as TO suggest that other rea-
sons were at the foundation. At about
the same time the Gompers resolution
for collective bargaining was voted
down his resolution for arbitration OF
the steel strike and for the principle of
the open shop also was defeated, by
action OF the public group. The matter
OF collective bargaining might have
been brought up at later date and an
agreement obtained satisfactory 10 all
parties: the breach was not sufficiently
wide TO warrant labor walking out. But
with final action taken on the steel
strike, Gompers and his confreres real
lied that they had lost the strike and
decided there was no more use for the
conference.
Conferences such as that at Washing
ton might serve a very useful purpose
in extricatlng labor chieftains from a
difficult situation. but where there is
mo chace" Of warping 1t to such a
purpose, organized labor promptly
obeys that impulse"

Withdrawal from the national indus
trial conference by representatives Of
organized labor was typical Of the pO-
sitlon they have taken on all great Is
sues involving the peace OF Industry
which have been presented in recent
years. Il confirms the opinion held by
many impartial observers that no pro-
gress can be made toward an equitable
settlement Of industrial problems until
organized labor's leaders are made TO
respect ooiisltions.
In the case of the industrial board
those leaders were willing enough to
proceed in accordance with rules agreed
on by the board; they were willing to
accept all the advantages that might re-
suit from the conference, but when
they lost a point they promptly with
drew. and charged that the game was
not played fair. Il is another Instance
in which the representatives OF trade
unions have demonstrated that they
will either dictate or destroy.
The withdrawal Of the delegates
under the circumstances that obtained,
and in opposition to President VIII
sons expressed desire that further
thought be given to a program for in
dustrial harmony, must have con-
vinced the employers and public
groups that negotiations Of this char
acter are futile unless there be clear
understanding that labor, like the other
parties to the conference, be pledged
TO abide by its decisions.
Collective bargaining was agreed TO
by the representatives Of the employers
and It was agreed that the employees
might select representatives Of their
own choosing. but the employers would
not bind themselves 20 deal with rep
resentatives selected from outside OF
the shop personnel. Such an agreement
would in effect bind them to recog-
milton OF trade unions and the closed
shop. The labor group tried to make IL
appear that tie closed shop was not the
issue: that their resolution providing
for collective bargaining was an inno-
cent measure, establishing a principle
they declared to be universally recog-
nized, but when the Joker was re-
vealed, and when IL was shown how
the resolution was susceptible OF inter
probation the labor group promptly
Withdrew.
The violation OF labor's obligations TO
continue until the various issues were
discussed and decided upon, then to
