Lord John Russell.

During the years of my uncle's re-
tirement was much more In his COM
pany than had been possible when I
was schoolboy and he was foreign
secretary or prime minister. Penn
broke lodge became to me second

than Of hours spent there by the side
Of one who had played bat. trap and
ball with Charles Fox had been trav-
cling companion of Lord Holland; had
corresponded with Tom Moore, de-
bated with Francis Jeffrey. and dined
with Doctor Parr; had visited Mel

that, generally speaking, the wages
paid by the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, which produces less than
per cent Of the total steel output #
the United States, must be governed
by what its competitors pay; but the
representatives and the strike commit
tee as late as Sept. Is and Sept 10
stated that the general working condi-
tions were better in Pueblo than at
eastern steel mills, and as to hours pf
labor, it is recognized and acknowl-
edged by former employees that they
have had, since Nov. /, 1918, an eight
hour day"
No indication Of dissatisfaetion with
the industrial plan, wherein the work
eas and the company have representa-
tives for the adjustment Of grievances,
was given prior to Sept. 1s, according
70 Mr.. Welborn. He said that on Sept.
II, the day before the strike notice
was served, representatives Of the men
presented their grievances in a confer
ense with officials and the matters
were disposed Of in 3 way satisfaetory
to the mon.
Continuing, he says: "In view of
these proceedings, and the ststemsnts
made by . number Of representatives
at = special meeting Immediately fol
lowing receipt Of the strike notice, ani
by the strike committee a. well, that
they had been Justly treated by com
pany officials, 1t Is hard 70 believe
that there is justification for the op-
posite charges made by the strike com
mittee In the statement inst published,
one of which, In reference to minor
grievances, reads: Consequently It is
left to minor Officials, who in turn
leave 1t to tho supsrintendents, ane
they put It up to the bosses,' and an
other reading: This is not = strike;
It is a protest against q long limo Of
abuses in every craft and depart
ment.'" /
Regarding the general situation, Mr..
Welborn says: "1n view Of reports
Of happenings at other strike eenters,
il is source Of satisfaction to all that
no unpleasant disturbances have taken
place at Pueblo. May not this condi-
tion he due, in part at least, TO the
frequent use Of the council table, under
the provisions Of our plan Of repre-
sentation of employees, which repre-
sentatives and other employees have
stated had been the means Of estab-
fishing = general feeling Of confidence
on the part Of the employees Of the

I'VE DONE MY BIT IN HELL

I'm sitting here thinking
OF the things I left behind,
And 1 hate to put on paper
Those things I have in mind.
I've dug thousand trenches
And I've carried miles of ground,
And q meaner place this side of hell
Has never yet been found.
But there's one great consolation,
Gather closely while L tell,
When die I'll 60 to heaven
For I've done my bit in hell.
we built hundred kitchens
For the cook to bake his beans,
And I we stood a thousand guard mounts
And I've cleaned the camp latrines.
l We washed q thousand mess kits
And I've peeled a million spuds,
I I've made million blanket rolls
And I've washed q million duds.
The number Of parades I've stood
Would sure be hard to tell,
But won't parade in heaven
For I've done my bit in hell.
I've killed million maggots
That tried to steal my chow,
And shout = million cooties-
L can feel them biting now.
I've marched a hundred thousand miles
With heavy pack Of junk,
Up early in the morning
For my bacon and my punk.
Bet when my work on earth is done
Ny friends on earth can tell
"When he died he went to heaven
For he did his bit in hell"
When the final taps are sounded
And lay aside life's cares,
And I do my last parading
Up those shining golden stairs,
And the angels bid me welcome
And the harp begins to play,
And 1 draw a million canteen checks
And spend them in one day,
Then I'll hear st. Peter calling,
Calling loudly with yell,
Go up in front old timer
For you we done your bit in hell. q
Fred Mitchell.

Tailoring Ancient Art

The art of tailoring, in the western
hemisphere, appears to have originat-
ed In connection With skin garments
rather than those Of cloth. In the
North, throughout the reindeer and
caribou area. well-tailored skin gar-
ments were worn. completely covHA
ing the body. The Eskimos and the
caribou-huntinG Indians cut out pieces
Of skin and fitted them together In
intricate patterns like q modern tailor.
The tailoring art probably began in
China, whence It spread to Europe,
thence to the reindeer hunters In ST.
IBERIA and across from Asia into the
new world. Along the Pacific coast
the aboriginal Indians were but scant-
lily clad and the natives Of Patagoni
usually wore only q breechcloth. al
though sometimes q capelike robe
hanging from the shoulders was used.
In Mexico and the Andes region where
the art Of weaving reached its height,
garments retained the angular form
in which they came from the loom.

The supreme court, among its de-
cisions handed down last Monday de-
MED the supersedeas prayed for in the
cases of Louis Crofut and Louis Cast

penitentiary from this county on a
larceny charge in connection with their
dealings with the road camp, the goods
they purloined being declared the prop
erty of the Brown Bros. Mercantile
company. This means that the SEN

CLEMENCEAU NOT AFRAID
OF FRENCH LIQUOR INTERESTS

The fcarlessness for which NJ
Clemenceau is noted has shown itself
even in connection with the French
liquor question.
In 1912 NJ. Clemenceau wrote a
preface to a book on alcoholism by
Dir. Louis Jacuuet, in which ne called
alcoholism the most redoubtable
enemy of social peace and public
prosperity. He declared that no one
believed in the utility of the laws and
aimed only at ordering a drunkard
to the police station. even il these
were supported by the placards which
the hypocrisy OF the legislature had
put upon the walls of the saloons 10
prohibit the drunkenness which was
scandalously favored by its other laws.
He called this civil sanction of alcohol
ism.
One begins to understand today, he
wrote Gin 1920. that liberty to poison
cannot have d legitimate place among
the acquisitions of the French revolu-
ton. Universal suffrage would be dis
qualified if 1t escaped from one slav-
cry only to fall under the dominion
Of 81 league Of private interests in
open warfare against the public good.
