Edison shifted the reading OF his

during the discourse, calmly unlaced
his right shoe. took IL off and pruned
a piece or loose leather from the sole
with his jAckknife. He had made an
other discovery. The sole of his shoe
vas loose. The gathering was more
interested in the operation than the
spcech and when the inventor paused
he was given good -natured ovation.
II went over to New York to buy a
pair of shoes and found they were

tor said. interrupting his son. 81

LLOYD GEORGE TO DEAL

LONDON, Aug, 13.-Bonar law,
leader of the house of commons, says
the Lloyd George government will
deal with the liquor traffic during

advantages of greater temperance

stricted hours of sale of liquor and

Edison had finished the pruning
operation by this time and pointing to
Edwin c. Barnes, a delegate, he con-
tinued:
Barnes wouldn't have done II that
way He would have gone up on
Broadway and paid S17 or SIS pair
Yes, but | would wear them three

Barnes pays Sc or 81 for hat"
said Edison, while / would so down

pay S2.75 for one"
Barnes met the last statement with
silence.
When Charles Edison had finished
his fathers statement Edison again
drew the attention Of the delegates to
some Edisonian economy of time as
we'll as of money. He produced a
number OF yellow slips on which
nightly he said he wrote his tasks for
the following day. Yesterdays slips
dictated fifty-seven different duties,
"If everybody tried il for six months
it would be a surprise to know how
much can be done in ten hours" he
explained. Ten hours, however every
delegate knew, are only part of an
Edison workday.

SOCIETY NOTES.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
Aug 13.-The Indiansof northern and
central British Columbia are now in
the throes of the height OF the social
season. One potlatch scarcely ends
before another starts. The Indians
gathered at Morricetown a short time
ago in large numbers and gave away
to each other all their personal be-
longings. No one suffered as each had
suit of clothes to give and take. Now
the rotlatch at Hagwilget. in the
Hazleton district is on. The Indians
have foregathered again. Another
gathering will be held later in the
North. Considerable business is done
at these functions by the white
traders. They meet the trapper In
dians and buy the spring fur catches.

Cherrington said the Governmen nj
ownership OF all the present supply
would place direct responsibility upon
the Federal officials for the disposi-
tion OF II for legal purposes, and that
the opportunity for illegal sale prac-
tically would be removed.
II believe the Government should
purchase the entire remaining stock
OF liquor at a fair cost price and hold
II for medicinal and sacramental pur-
poses" Cherrington declared. I'm
der Government ownership there
would be less likelihood of law viola

dispose of it would already have ac-
complished that end in the sale TO the

There are about so. 900. 900 gallons

TAKES
NEW WEAPON
Fights Capitalists With Money.
Buys Up Anti-Union Factories
From Big Fund.
BY MILDRED MORRIS.
international News Service.

Organized labor has a new program
that calls for, the discsrding OF it's
usual weapons and the adoption OF
tactics intended to demonstrate la
bor's power 10 take over industry.
The International Slachinists' AS
sociation, the third largest union in
the American Federation OF Labor and
one OF the most powerful labor bodies
in the country, has already put this
new program into operation.
Backed by a defense fund amount
ing to Si.200,O00 annually and with
other financial resources to draw
from wherever ii is possible, the
union is buying up outstanding mort

power of capital" Il. c. Dawson,
general secretary-treasurcr OF the
union. said today. 1--WE are demon
strating that labor has another weap-
on besides the strike--a weapon a
thousand times more effective. We
are not talking about taking over in

program. 1t is for them to say

America. We are now demonstrating
that labor is perfectly capable Of TAX
ing overfndustry and running 1T. We
are showing the public 1t is possible
for labor to use business efficiency
instead of the strike to protect its
principles.
In the South, where for a time the
iroHmasters had our union COM
pletely locked out. we won notable
victory with our new program. We
have compelled the ironmasters TO
sign agreements with us in every city
except Norfolk. Va.
I'm this city we bought up the
mortgages and notes standing against
one of the largest machine plants.
We now control this plant and have
purchased two others. We have
served warning on the employers
that the men, willing to make any
kind of personal sacrifice to win the
fight, will work for so cents an hour
in their own cooperative shops, II

out of business
."LAW CANNOT INTERFERE"
The law cannot interfere with
these new tactics we have adopted; {;
the police cannot be called in to stop
them. They are the capitalists own
tactics of warfare. Labor has bor-
rowed them to fight capital.
What we are demonstrating is
that labor has unlimited financial re-
sources: that it need have no fear
when employers talk of raising mil
lions to fight it. Organized labor can
also raise millions. and more quickly
and simply than the employers.
BY assessing each of our $50, 900

able to raise 81, 200. 900 "A year as a

You can BUY apartment, for instance in the
beautiful Avondae at 1884 P street. for far less
than home of similar size in such a neighborhood
would cost you-and you can BUY at figure that
is only trihe more than half the cost of building
such an apartment today. The terms, too, are most
reasonable

initial payment and monthly payments, in many in,
