TOLL OF THE SEAS

from the Toledo Blade. ~
During the war sea-going vessels of a
total tonnage of 26S, 149 were sold to
foreigners The Germans sank or burned
or seized 322.214 tons. The ordinary risks
of the sea brought about the destruction
OF 400, 400 tons 1t appears then that
neither trading nor war made as big a
hole in our merchant marine as storms,
currents, collision, fire and rocks The
elemental forces of nature, coupled with
the common frailities of sailor folk,
closed the career of more ships than
shells and torpedoes. We might pass a
law forbidding shipowners to sell their
property to Strangers Universal peace
might be established. Yet the everyday
toll of the seat would continue impress
sively high.

Farmers Union and the
Federation of Labor

wv RECEIVER UNITS OF 'ne req
wv GRAFTON of Labor precipitate
strike an effort is made to induce the
farmers to unite in the movement.
But the tillers of the soil cannot
see where they will be the gamers.
The United Mine Worker is contend
ing for a five-day week and six
hour day. The farmer works ten
hours a day and in the busy season
twelve to thirteen hours. If he re-
Iduced his hours it would be impossi-
lble to make full crops. Working as
he does the farmer prospers and the
consumer is supplied with food in
abundance.
The same rule applies to the mer
camille world. If the department store
or the bank kept open only six hours
day, where would they be? The
miners proposal, if carried into eff
feet, would not only increase the cost
of living, but would cause untold
suffering
The farmer believes in individual
thrift and will never join any move
ment that will make for an unreason-
able advance in the cost of living.
AS for strikes, the majority of
members of unions in this country
are Americans and, therefore, patri-
otic citizens. Let them stop to reflect.
Public sentiment will never side with
the oppressor. All workmen should
be we'll paid for their labor. Wages
are higher today than ever before
and there is no excuse, therefore, for
strike in any of the great indus
tries.
In this connection the speech of
Milton Flies, which appeared in yes
Iterday's Age-Herald, had the true
ring. The coal mining company that
he represents is noted for the human
treatment of its employees and every
miner should weigh his words WELL
And it should be assumed that
jevery American workman will think
and act for his own good and the good
of the community; and, most of all,
harken to the plea of President Will
lson. The radical element is rampant
flor a revolution But how about the
conservative American element? Let's
take the optimistic view and think
that at this juncture conservatism will
prevail.

WHERE THERE ARE NO AMERICANS

w AhA<AtE< -AAAA1 w .
From the New York owrld.
Members of the Senate committee in
vestigating the steel strike gave a
fairly good imitation of astonishment
when Lieut. Van Buren, of Major Gen.
Woods staff was decribing the activi-
tionists at Gary, Ind. In response to an
inquiry the Lieutenant said 81 haven't
found an American yet though some
of the leaders have second naturaliza-
tion papers" M
Twenty seven years ago the discov-
cry was made at Homestead, Pa, that
most of the employees of the steel
mills were uneducated foreigners led
by desperate men. Almost a genera
ton has passed since then, and yet con-
ditions are unchanged with the ex-
reception that the same mass of alienism
now draws it's inspiration from WE'LL
organized and well-financed societies
of outlaws at home and abroad. The
American people cannot plead ignor-
apee on this point, nor can Chairman
Gary's Steel Trust.
Since 1892 laws have been enacted to
prohibit the importation of labor, all of
them easily evaded, but aside from that,
the country has done nothing and the
employers have done nothing to Ameri-
canize their forces. Sought originally
because it was docile and could be used
| to break the backs of native working
men, this foreign labor has been con-
stantly recruited and persistently en-
douraged in it's foreignism on the mis-
taken theory that lasting profit could
! be derived therefrom. Captained now
| by avowed public enemies, we find it
menace to industry and government
alike.
The sins of the misguided foreigners
at Gary and elsewhere are natural
outgrowths of the sins of the men who
have herded them here. Greed has fat
ltened on flesh and blood, reckless of
rything else. No American is to be
found in the seditious throngs because
,. no American has given a thought to
their welfare, to their enlightenment
or to their characterization.

Earnings of the
Steel Corporation

0NHE steel industry was prospecting
y greatly up to the time Of the
steel workers strike, and even now
earnings continue to show a fair
profit
Earnings, according to the state
|ment issued after yesterdays meet
ing of the board of directors of the
steel corporation, amounted for the

lover the previous quarter

429, an increase of S., 787, 1928, and the
surplus, after payment of regular
dividends on the preferred and COM
mon shares, totaled, $11, 105,107, an
increase of $5,7s6,5sO
Earnings reported yesterday are
equivalent to $3.43 applicable to the
common stock, against 1929 in the
previous quarter, and 81 in the third
quarter of 1918.
The report says the effect of the
strike, which began in the last fort
might of the last quarter, is seen in
the monthly returns-earnings OF
is12, $50 500 for September being less
Iby s2,279,502 than those of August.
The attendance at yesterdays
board meeting was small and there
| was no discussion of the strike situa-

Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into .
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui

troublesome. An easier way is to get
the rAady-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients
a large bottle at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a
lot OF muss.
While gray, faded hairi is not sinful.
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkeninS your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because 1t does 1t so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound Is a delightful toilet reQui-
