T|MBERW0RkERS TO MAKE

At a district convention of timber
workers held at Rhinelander. Wis.
this week it was voted to make a.
general attempt to get the eight-hour
day for timberworkers in Minnesota
Wisconsin and Michigan within the
near future. George w. Lawson sec-

COAL DOCK men MI: ! :.
STANDING firm
Claim Wages Have Not Kept
Pace with Increased Living
Cost Exam Piles.

The coal dock workers are standing
like adament. They are entering upon
the sixth week Of their strike and they
declare they. will remain out until
they win. They have had no real de-
sertions. A few men have gone back
but this was to be expected. The
monest laborer to the most skilled
mechanic is determined to stick until
. wage increase is granted.
The operators have published a Sc
ries Of page: advertisements stating
their side of the case in which they
make number of colored statements
to place their positions favorab1y be-
fore the public. The men on the: other
hand haven't the funds, to present
their case in such manner, So they
are simply trusting to the righteous
ness Of the cause.
Demands Are just.
They hold first that their wage de-
mand is not unreasonable and that
the coal dock operators are perfectly
able to pay the wages asked. They
contend that the operators are exact
ing from the consuming public high
prices for coal and at the same time
they are expecting their employees to
work for less wages than will assure
them decent living during these
high-price times.
They declare that the cost of living
has increased since the beginning of
the war S3 per cent and not IS per
cent as published by the operators.
This percentage is given in the July
bulletin Of the Department of Labor.
A later bulletin gives the increase at
81 per cent.
Have Not Kept Pace.
Now let us see if the coal dock op-
orators have raised the wages of their
employees in proportion to the increase
in the cost of living. Let us take the
wage scale of the best paid men on
the docks, the electrical operators. In
May, 1917 they were paid 81 a day.
When they struck their scale was
$3.50 a. day. an increase of slightly
more than 80 per cent The electrical
operators now ask for $6.88 a day.
This would be but an increase of ~
per cent in wages over the scale paid

will if they are wise.
The dockworkers are beginning the
sixth week of their strike. Some of
che men are in need of money, ana
every labor organization and every
sympathizer with labor is urged to
contribute to the support of these
men. The cause of the dock workers
is just They have grievance and
they are entitled to the support of all
laborers and friends of laborers.

We have in mind one woman, and
there were probably others who work
ed for the state board of health a few
years ago. She went among the peo-
ple-the poor people who couldn't pay
fol- skilled attention, and taught them
how to care for their children, how 10

plague. She didn't show them how to
do things in an academic way-she
went into the work up to the elbows,
she assuaged their pain, helped bring
their babies into the world. soothed

swept and scrubbed their sickrooms

And that is about the only kind of a
woman that the state board of health
is going to get any results from.

SHE LOVES THE SOLDIERS

From her temporary home in Den
ver,. Mrs. William Hooker, one of
Ocala's most patriotic and practical
women, sends the following sugges-
tions, which we submit to our read
els:

ing up" for a big soldiers welcome
and it occurred to me that if the fair
is to be held, it would be a good plan
to have one day Soldiers day." with
a parade in front of the grandstand,
speeches (short ones) and big bar
becue. The women could serve the
soldiers in the rest pavilion on the
grounds.
If there is to be no fair, why not
celebrate Thanksgiving by making it
soldiers day? Surely there could be
no more appropriate observance of
the day-say the usual religious serv-
ices in the morning and then a big
parade, soldiers followed by citizens
and big barbecue or dinner. Seems
t. me the fair grounds would be the
best place in all events and there
might be some amateur races and q
football game and end up with a
dance at the Woman's Club at night
No doubt all of you have thought
Of much nicer things, but l do hope
you can have some sort of big "joy'
stuff"

ASSEMBLY AND COUNCIL

The New York Times explains a
Euch disputed question as follows:
In his speech at Los Angeles on
Saturday night President Wilson ex-
planned some League of Nations fig
ures that Senator Hiram Johnson has
been smartly Juggling with to fool. the
u2lsophisticated, game in which he
has had confederate3. These gentle
men have torn passion to tatters in
protesting against the plan by which
the British Empire has six votes in
the assembly of the League of Ma
tions and the United States one. In
the council of the League of Nations
the British Empire is to have but one
vote, like the United States. The
council, as Mr.. Wilson pointed out,
Originates all action" while the as
sembly is "a debating and not an ex-
ecutive body; moreover, mot an in
dependent voting body" Mr.. Wilson,
to make it clear that the United
States would have as much to say as
the British Empire when there was
any action to be taken, anything mo-
nentous to be done, made this expo
sition:
,"In every matter on which the as
sembly can vote along with the coun-
Gil, it is necessary that all the ma.
tions represented ON the council
should concur in the affirmative vote
to make it valid; so that in every vote,
no matter how many votes are cast in
the assembly, it is necessary, in order
for the vote in the council to become
valid, that the United States should
vote aye"
Mr.. Wilson asked his hearers how
Canada, Austria, New Zealand, India
with her missions, and the Union of
South Africa could fairly be denied
representation in the assembly of tie
league if Panama was to have a vote.
1t has been well said that "the six
votes which seem to increase her
(Great Britain's) voice in the assem-
bly, really mean that her associated
dominions are claiming the essentials
of sovereign independence" Summing
/ up, the president said:
Il "The vote of the United States is
potential to prevent anything that the
/ United States does not care to ap-
II prove. All this nonsense about SIX
votes and one vote can be dismissed
and you can sleep with perfect quiet.
Senator Johnson, not making the
proper distinction between the identl-
ties and functions of the assembly
and of the council of the League Of
Nations, has led the unwary to believe
that the British Empire has six times
the voting power of the United States
in the league. President Wilson undoes
the tangle to the understanding OF
the simplest mind and shows the fall.
lacy of the Johnsonian propaganda.

WELFARE WORK

Two or three weeks ago, Joe Ear
man in his Palm Peach Post made
some rather rough remarks about
welfare work and Red Cross work, as
he had bumped up against some OF 1t.
His Indignation was caused by the
fact that a baby and its mother,
whose condition called for assistance
from. the welfare work branch of the
state board of health work, were suf-
fering, and when he, as chairman of
the state board, called attention to
the matter, he was met with lot of
what he considered useless questions
and passing the buck" instead of i'm
mediate action. 1t seems that Joe
himself saw to it that the mother and
child were taken care of, but he ex-
pressed his opinion of the women
whose department was created to at
tend to just such work in decidedly
straightforward language. Several of
the state papers have been criticising
Joe about his Opposition to child
welfare work." but it is probable they
have not Investigated the matter. The
following figures may open their
eyes:
The child welfare bureau of the
state board of health of Florida was
inaugurated September 1. 1913. and
from that date to August 1, 1919, or
exactly eleven months. the following

Nazi,nova, the Russian actress and screen favorite, opened at FOX's Theater in "The Brat yesterday afternoon and evening to crowded houses New Britain folks seem to be of the same mind as others throughout the country wherever '"rhc Brat has been screened, for repeatedly throughout the play the audience bursts into spontaneous ap- plause--an exception form of ap- proval of a picture with a woman star. For the first time in her career the talented Nazimova comes before the people in the guise of an Ameri- can maiden. And in doing so she has but added more to her past Suc- cesses and found new and apprecia- tive friends. '"Fhe Brat is not merely a name behind which to hide a picture of mediocre value, but it signifies Nazlmova in d role that Is tybically American, with the vital elem ents of dramatic genius that reach down and hold one in a spell of varied emotions. It tells the very human and singular story of a poor Waif of the slurs. who knows no other name. than 'The Brat" her trials, her heartburnings, her sacri- fees, her love and lastly, in a beauti- full climax, her love returned In the man, who has grad ually found that clothes and a name are but the gar ments of flesh and that often behind the poorest is found the greatest fountain of love and truth. '"The Brat should not be missed by any, who desire to see the best that the genius of the American silent drama is capable of producing.
