 UNION NOM B
 STRONG BODY
Official Organ of the New Organization Publishes
 Its First Issue.

In ten days the Newswriters' Equity association has grown from an infor- maIly discussed plan into a powerful body of workers, thoroughly organ ized and affiliated with the greatest organization of hand and brain work CTS in the world. Its influence is well known to the public at this time and the justice of it's claim for recognition has been admitted generally.
 Tn an attempt to deceive certain workers a report has been circulated to the effect that afIiliation with the 4 F. of L. is not practical for news writers. It has been claimed that no suitable working schedule could be arranged. IL is well known that every real newspapernan or woman, is working for his or her paper during every hour of the day that he or she is awake. To make a contrary infer ence knowingly is to slander the pro- fessiOn.
 It has also been charged that news writers if organized generally would share news promiscuously with rival papers. This assertion is too ridicu- 1Ous to warrant serious consideration. Equity S-ill simply point out that the best nSsns writers in the world have been kSown to frateTnize most inti- mately and even live together without violating the ethics Of the profession by revealing exclusive news.
 ''Newswriter." the Offiical organ of Equity, will be circulated for the first time today. Plans for the monster benefit to be held in a local theater two weeks hence are being com pleted. Yesterday two more news writers joined Equity.

GERMANS WILL USE 4 NEW
 TRADE POLICY Trashy Goods Will Not Be Sent To Foreign
 Markets. CONSIDER OUTLOOK
 IS UNFORTUNATE Charge That America Seeks to Drive Out Ger
 many.

Coblenz, Aug. 3O - CCorrespon. dence of The Associated Press) - German manufacturers are planning to rehabilitate their world trade bv a new policy according to a writer in the Deutscher Handel Warte of Nuremberg. It contemplates noth- ing less, he says, than abandonment of the flooding of foreign countries with trashy goods"
 Admitting that the outlook for Ger man exports is unfortunate" in view of the progress in manufacturing made by Japan, America, England and other countries, the belief is ex- pressed that those nations are so busy trying to increase their indus- trial production that they are becom- ing lax in the matters of beauty. quality and price.
 America seeks to drive Germany from the world markets" says the article. The Entente concerns itself also with working against our exports in neutral countries. Yet all this cannot scare us. It is thereby made clear what boundless esteem exists for German manufacturers in enemy countries. The goods which are best. most beautiful and cheapest will find their way into other lands.
 Through improvement of o,,r sclentlhc methods our government must promote German export busi- ness The means are already at hand. We possess research institutes for coal, iron, leather, textiles and food chemistry. We must step farther along this road. Besides profession al schools are to be improved in or- der to raise the general level of la bor. Technique and science must work together to save the raw ma teriaL
 Already foreign firms are seeking German goods. In Berlin German American Merchandise Exchange has been organized. A number of Amer 1can chambers of commerce have raised the demand to renew business with Germany as soon as possible. It IS known that in South America there Is also lively need for German wares. The sharp competition which is al- ready apparent between England and America will be profitable for on. exports The ten-year-long relations of our merchants with other cour- tries can build the bridge for our ex- port trade.
 The earlier flooding of foreign countries with trashy goods will cease. We shall lay emphasis on goods of quality for only the best value products will henceforth gain entrance to the worlds markets. If peace and order can be restored in the fatherland then we need not be uneasy about the outlook for the future.''

CHINESE MOTHER RECEIVES COFFIN
 AS DEVOUT GIFT
Serves As Convenient Arti- cle of Furniture Before
 Her Demise.
MANY COFFIN
 SHOPS IN CHINA
Missionaries Astonished At Youthful Converts Who Cherish Their Collins
 During Life.

If an American son should return home from a long journey and pre- sent his mother with a fine coffin inn mediateIy upon his return amicable relations would at once be broken off His action would be construed as the strongest kind of an intima- ton that he no longer loved his mother and that he would be glad to have her die.
 No such construction as that is placed by a Chinese mother upon such a gift by her son. It is rather, a graceful and devoultly filial compli- ment Whether it is that the Chinese want to get acquainted with their collins so that they will feel at home in them when they come to be buried is a matter not to be proclaimed off hand. but certain it is that to them there is nothing objectionable about coffin. It is highly desirable to them 70 have their coffin bought and in the house ready for the moment when Father Time shall mow them down.
 But the coffin is Q very useful ar ticle before ones demise, according to the Chinese way of thinking. It is a convenient article of furniture and may be utilized as a seat, q ClOIileS press, a pantry OT as d sale place to leave the baby without fear of hls getting into the different kinds of mischief that the children of all nations and races do get into.
 Early Episcopal missionaries in China were startled, not to say hor- rifed, when they first made the ac- Guaintance of the collins of their converts or neighbors while they were still in the bloom of youth and health. But all that has changed in the course of years.
 Coffin shops are very numerous in China for with a population of more than 4O0,0O0.OOO the deaths are very frequent. Child mortality is ex- ceedingly heavy---from seventy to eighty per cent. various physicians have estimated it-and the propor- ton of little collins is very high.
 The shop-keeper's wife often sits on one of the collins while she eats her bowl of rice and her children are in and out of them constantly in their play. It is a not infrequent sight to see the dealer stretched out on top of a coffin taking a nap while waiting for a customer to appear.
