The radicals are many of them

to use their power they would quickly
displace the older experienced men.
They want ali the good things for

pers and other leaders who have
worked by his side so many years and
substitute for their wise guidance the
infammatory counsels and action OF
the hotheads, the revolutionLsts who
share the !. w. w. ambition to con-
troll the factories. That is the short
way to the ruin OF the labor organiza-
tions, to unemployment and misery for
wage earners, to the destruction OF the
country's productive capacity. En-
ployers and the public have seen the
necessity of largely augmenting the
gains of toll. There have been re-
peated and great additions to payrolls
all over the country. These increases
have been necessary to meet the cost
of living But President Wilson has
pointed out that the time has come
to seek other means of making both
ends meet. and now it is being gen.
orally perceived and understood that
the radicals and the Reds and the
agitators in the labor unions, who are
battling against the restraining infiu-
ences of labors authorized leaders,
have quite other ends in view than
wage adjustments. This element, this
influence, is openly or secretly abet-

ported in the news from day to day.

When Tinker Bob arrived inside the
House and the great doors were closed
behind him, he saw peculiar sights on
every side. Sure enough. there were
large glass cases filled with polished
stones. And behind these cases wers
servants polishing more stones. He
had always been fond OF pretty stones,
and had small collection Of his own,
but they could not be compared with
these highly polished stones In the
glass cases.
There were the Servants. as the Lit
tie Old Man had said, on the top of tall
step ladders. writing in the great books.
These servants were strange looking
creatures, and were busy all the time,
paying little or no attention to Tinker
Bob and the Little Old Man.
What arc all Of these stones forT'
asked Tinker Bob.
'Oh, my little man. these are power
full stones" The Little Old Man went
to one of the glass cases and. brought
forth one OF the largest stones. This
stone will give you the power Of know
everything in the world, and by keep
ing this stone with you everywhere you
go, you can conquer nations and rule
the world"
How much are these stones7" ask

wants pressed a button and two great
doors swung open and he saw a big
furnace. In the midst OF the furnace

The Signs Of Industrial Warfare

The known and responsible leaders
of labor had never so great a need us
now To look to the conditions in their
own ORGANIZATIONS and to take heed
Tor themselves lest their influence be
destroyed and their power usurped BY
unsafe and unsteady elements that are
striving 10 destroy them. With their
wisdom and their experience, these
tried leaders know when the time has
come to use reason and moderation IN
formulating aud pressing the demands
OF labor, when 1t is time to check the
zeal OF agitators. 1t is plain TO al
men with seeing eyes and understand
ing minds that that time has come
now. The presidents letter TO the
railroad shopmen was a portent; 1t
was more, for IL was a true portrayal
OF conditions and an appeal TO reason
The resolve OF the publishers of peri
odicals In this city to suspend publ
cation OF what they consider the un-
reasonable demands of the printers are
pressed, the abandonment of many
projected building undertakings in this
city and its vicinity because of the in
sistcnce of men In the building trades
upon a large increase in wages, ard

leaders OF labor are seriously taking

The all-important thing for work

only as a preparation for further de-

One Of the editors of the Iron Age
presents some information which
would suggest that the war between
the great steel corporations and organ
lied labor may be inspired by those
who would destroy the present order
of society as proved to be the case
in the strikes at Seattle and Winnipeg.
The Iron Age has looked up the rec
ord Of w, u. Foster, secretary of the
national committee Of steel workers,
and finds that ne was once a member
Of the l. ". W. and the author of a
book an syndictiisms.
Failing in his ambition to become
editor Of Solidarity. the l. w. w. Off

STOP SALE OF MEDAL
Rhenish Authority Curtails Sale Of
Lusitanla Medal to Americans.
Correspondence Associated Press.l

Correspondence Associated Press.l
With the American Forces in Ger
many, Aug. 27.-Sale OF a reproduction
Of the Lusitania medal, which for a
time was being peddled in the occu-
pied areas, has been forbidden in the
Rhine province by the oberpresident.
Hundreds Of the medals were bought
by American soldiers as souvenirs.
Writing to Colonel I. L. Hunt, officer
in charge Of civil affairs In the Amer
lean area. regarding the sale OF the
medal by Germans, the oberpresident
says:
Il wish to inform you that such .
medal has, Of course, never been coined
or caused to be coined by any German
government. The medal Is simply the
outcome OF misguided thrift and greed
mess on the part Of certain private
dealers who in a most unwarrantable
manner published this tasteless repro
duction and have hawked it about.
without considering for one moment
that by so doing they stimulate the
luminosity against Germany"
The story generally current with the
sale of this issue Of the medals was
that they were made in Munich by the
manufacturer OF the original which
was issued in 1915 after the sinking
Of the Lusitania and from the same
dies on which the original issue was
cast These dies, according to the
story, were ordered destroyed by the
German government, after but twenty
eight medals had been struck of but
were surreptitiously saved by Karl
Goertz. who Is reported to have been
the designer. The German govern
ment has several times denied that
any Lusitania medal was ever issued
with consent Of any government offi-
Gals.

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Thomas Mott Osborne,
IS 1T YoURsf
SEPT. q, 1859.

Thomas Mott Osborne undoubtedly
will be classed as one of the great men
OF this time-he Ia already considered
one Of the most important by those
who understand prison conditions past
and present
Osborne did away with such things
as the lock step" and the enforced
silence In prisons under his charge and
he broke up the exploitation of prison
labor. For this he incurred the en-
NIFTY OF q ring that had been making
q fortune from prison labor. They at
tempted to get him." A charge Of
acknowledgment was brought against
him. but was dismissed without Mr..
Osborne even Being called upon to glse
his own testimony.
At that time he was in charge of
Sing Sing. He was re-instated, after
the trial, but resigned shortly. Not
long afterwards. the United States
having entered the war. he was put
in charge of the naval prison at Ports
mouth with the rank of lieutenant
commander. He had had himself
locked up in Auburn in Jail as con-
vict to study prison life from the con-
vict's side of 1t. 1t has been an
nounced recently that he got permits
sion to enlist in the navy as "gob"
to investigate charges Of cruel treat
ment Of our sailors.
He was born In Auburn, N. T.. and
was in business in that city before he
took up prison reform work.

what follows, "a carload of potatoes
will be placed on the city market at
80 cents a peck, cents under the
price that has prevailed" we are also
assured that Brother Barney, being in
state pay. will serve the people Of Des
Moines by offering "a mixed carload
OF vegetables, squashes, onions, ruta-
bagas and the like" and offer them for
sale under the prevailing prices in that
market. All of this is cheerful news
and why should not the capital city
be served even with vegetables at the
expense OF one of the state depart

just thinking and laughing. We can
