METAL POLISHERS.
Strike at Plant of Brunswick ,. Bake Collender Co.,:

The Metal Polishers' International Union had its members go on strike at the Dubuque (Iowa) factory of the Bruins k-Ba1ke-Collender Company on March 7. In statement issued by the union it says the company discri1nin- ated against organized labor and paid low wages for long hours The firm refused to grant any of the demands, re- fused to deal with organized labor and notified the employees to either drop their union or quit. Men who were active i'll union affairs were discharged No demands were made by the union during the war. After the armistice was signed, the firm made sweeping reduc- tion in wages of 25 per cent, affecting all the employees. It is said that this was done although the wages were ap- proximate1y 40 per cent lower than paid III other large photograph factories such as the Columbia, Victrola. and Edison. The Brunswick photograph is made by this company.
 The management notified the inter national officers of the union that they proposed to get their work done the cheapest way possible, irrespective of the attitude of organized labor , ..

The big oak doors of the Bowery | Mission i'll New York closed on the two worst derelicts in all the fotsam of the lower East Side. When Saturday and Black Tim" had shamb1ed into a couple of chairs in the back of the Jammed hall, Dr. Hallimond, in charge of the mission, said that would be all the place was overcrowded as it was with the wrecks of men who came to hear w. Beurke Cochran talk. But Cochran was half hour late, and Black Tim nudged his bearded companion.

 "Sit tight, Tim" whispered Saturday, the old boy1l come. Sure, 1 remember him when he hadn't IS cents in his pocket, he was kid then, just come from the old country"
 Some one up on the platform started singing, nothing much of song, noth- ing much of a voice, and Saturday and his wretched friend swallowed in a dirty brown overcoat started dozing When Anson C. Baker finished his song there was more silence, and then he was asked to sing an Irish song. .. .~-
 It was not a pleasing voice, as voices go, but the melody was an old one of Tom Moore's, "The Young May Moon" :" typlcally Irish, and Black Tim lifted his head. He horned his ear and leaned forward to catch each note of the simple song, and when it was ended Saturday leaned oyer to him.
 What's got you, Tim, a weep drunk ?" The other poked his eyes with a red handkerchief and blew his nose. .

 Then Cochran strode into the hall and the Mission cheered him. He said 1t was the most interesting audience he ever talked to.

Do you know where there Is place without smiles? Not in prison. have sat with prisoners before the execution, and they were cheerful. Not in the hospitals. These people find it easy to smile.
 No, the one place where there Is no sign of joy is in the safe deposit vault. There is no sight more melancholy than a millionaire face to face with his cou- pons. Happiness comes with the ab- sorption of all your faculties in some form of fruitful, honest labor.
 The trouble is that men who should work on the farm want to be sailors, and coal drivers want to be lawyers My men, I have as wide an acquaintance as any man-it extends from the pris- oner to the Pontiff himself-and the l finest gentleman I ever met in all my experience was coal man who earned $1.6O day.

 "Is it not true," asked Senator King of Utah, that the Bolshevist leaders who led the treason against the Allies hate America as much as they hate any of the other Allies?" .,
 'Yes, that is true," was the answer. Tt Is also true that the Bolshevist group accepted German money to use for propaganda purposes. They were of course, ready to handle Germany i'll their own way just as Germany was ready to use them to the best advantage It was case of two crooks, each using the other to gain an end
 ''Why did they hate Us SOP" asked Senator Overman.
 For two principal reasons. First because we are not a Soviet Govern ment, and, secondly, because we went into the war" Dr. Huntington replied,
 In answer to question Dr. Hunting ton told of the executions of persons who met the displeasure of the Soviets

Washington Gets Official

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Advices
reaching Washington through official
channels indicate that the recent ac-
tiyities Of Luis Cabrera, secretary Of
the treasury of Mexico, and Schlaffino.
head OF the petroleum bureau of the
department OF Industry, and
labor, have been for the purpose of
bringing back into line the Mexican
congress n members of the supreme
court, who II is indicated, are some
what out of step with the Carranza
regime, This was the Interpretation
OF events by state department officials
when they learned that the advice to
The supreme court by Cabrera was OF
an official Character instead of being
ex-otficio as was at first supposed.
Cabrera urged the supreme court not

aimed directly at the presidential de-
crees which led the United States,

from Mexico City, that there is a def

out by anti-CarTanza leaders in con-
gresS that the withdrawal of this power
from the president would prevent a
repetition of legislation by these execu-
tive DEGREES M would ease the inter-
national situation.
Mexico City newspapers are violently
attacking Cabrera, according to the
advices, especially because OF a public
statement recently made by him in
which he accused the Mexican people
OF lack of patriotism at this time. This
statement was made In view of the
recently published declaration that SO
per cent OF the Mexican people would
look upon American Intervention with
Indifference and 80 per cent of the
educated class would welcome il, One
