RIGHT TO STRIKE
Must Never Be Surrendered,
Says Maurer

The workers can never afford to
render their right to strike, whether
or not industry be run for profit. To
do so would eventually mean servi-
tude.
"Is there just way to avoid
strikes ?" Yes, there are many ways
to avoid strikes Let the employer
swallow some of the arrogance and
contempt he too often shows toward
the grievances of his employees; estab-
lish the policy of collective bargain
ing; pay more attention to his busi-
ness and not pin so much faith on the
opinions of his superintendent and
managers; pay managers and superin-
tendents salaries instead of bonuses on
production and pay roll, and thus re-
move the incentive to grind out in
creased produce with decreased pay.
This, to be sure, means that the own
er or owners must be contented with
a reasonable profit, but it would be a
just way to avoid strikes.
what limits are to be set to the
use of strikes ?" don't see how
there can be any limits.
"Is there any justification for the
use of strikes for other than questions
of immediate improvement of working
conditions in the industry affected -
Yes, there are many good reasons.
Transferring orders and sometimes
materials from a striking shop to one
not on strike is quite a proper cause
for the workers in the second shop
to strike rather than "scab" on their
fellow workers in the striking shop.
Again, a company may own or con-
troll a chain of mills, scattered
throughout dozen or more cities.
A strike may take place in one of
them The company simply locks up
the striking mill and has its orders
filled in the other mills and waits
until its employees in the striking mill
are starved into submission. BY this
action the mill owners make fair mills
unfair, and the workers are justified
in striking in every Mill the company
owns or controls
Another illustration is the late steel
strike. Surely these workers had good
cause to strike against the eighty-two-
hour work week and twenty-four hour
Sunday shift. To break this strike,
the steel companies engaged an army
of "sluggers," subsidized the Pitts
burg and other municipal police, Sc
cured the aid Of practically every pub
lie official from township constable
and state police to governor. Thus
do we see how the mill owners, in
their eagerness to crush their en-
ployes, do not hesitate to use even
the peoples official family and, by so
doing, take the strike out and away
from the industry and people directly
concerned. Through the aid of these
public officials, the strikers and strike
sympathizers were robbed of their
civil rights and constitutional guaran-
tees; they We're denied free speech and
public assemblage; thousands were
arrested, hundreds were beaten up,

that such workers are more neces-

should not furnish an excuse for plac-

others enjoy. Rather, if there IS to be
any discrimination, it should be in ia

CoNoUERING BUBoNIC
 PLAGUE IN THE PHILIPPINES

Recent discovery of a number of iso- lated cases of the bubonic pleague in the United States lends interest to a bulletin Of the National Geographic society de- scribing how the disease was conquered by American medical authorities in the Philippines.
 The United States drove the bubonic pleague out of the Philippines as com pletely as it swept the yellow fever out of Cuba" says a communication to the society.
 'Bubonic pleague was discovered at Manila Dec. es. 1899. and slowly but steadily increased un to December, 1901
 The deaths in 1900 numbered 199, and in 1901 reached a total of 432 The dis ease was at its worst each year during the hot. dry months of March, April and May. nearly or quite disappearing during September. October. November and De- cember. It will be noted that the number of cases in 1901 exceeded that in 1900 by 200. while the number of deaths was about two and half times as great and the percentage of mortality among per sons attacked increased from 73.4 in 1900 to s1.7 in 1901
 'On account of the important part which house rats are known to play in the distribution of bubonic plague. a sys- tematic campaign was inaugurated agalnSt these rodents in Manila. Police men, sanitary inspectors and specially appointed rat-catchers were furnished with traps and poison. and both traps and poison were distributed to private indi- viduals under proper restrictions A bounty vas paid for all rats turned over 10 the health authorities. and stations were established at convenient points throughout the city where they could he received Each rat was tagged with the street and number of the building or lot from which it came. was dropped into strong antiseptic solution. and eventually sent to the biological laboratory. where it was subjected to a bacteriological ex- animation for plague.
 Buildings in which plague rats were taken were treated exactly as were those where the disease attacked the human occupants. The meteorological examina- ton of rats enabled the board of health to follow the pest into its most secret haunts and fight it there. and was the most im- portant factor in the winning of the great success which was ultimately achieved
 With very few exceptions, there was no recurrence of plague in buildings which had been disinfected and renovated. As center after center of infection was found and destroyed, the percentage of diseased rats began to decrease. and in January. 1902, when. judging from the history of previous years. plague should have again begun to spread among hu man beings. there was not a single ease In February one case occurred Tn March there were two eases. as against S2 in March or the preceding year and before Aprh tne disease had completely disap peared."

Household Hints
Discoveries,

To Prevent Soggy Pie Crust-When
removing pies from the oven rest the
pie tin on shallow dish until the pie
is cold. instead of setting it directly
on the table. Use the rim of a loose
bottom cake tin. Doing this insures
having a dry and flaky undercrust.
Tie Small Bell around the neck of
each bottle containing poison.
When Vanishing Stairs-Varnish
every other step, using remainder of
stairs to go up and down.
To Open Jars-The housewife may
avoid much trouble and unnecessary
labor in opening glass fruit jars of the
sure seal or similar varieties by
keeping at hand in the kitchen a small
screw driver.
Just insert the point of the screw
driver between the rubber and the top
of the jar and give the handle O slight
rotating motion. This will quickly
break the air seal and allow the cover
to be removed easily without danger
of damage to jar or contents.
Buttermilk is good for cleaning
linoleum and oil cloth. Just mop 1t
up with a soft cloth and see the dirt
taken off by the application
Milk well rubbed into the wood
makes a good furniture polish, also
Keeps the shiny surface IN good con-
dition.

Simple loyalty to the clear will of
God is the bedrock of Christianity.
Doors of the Word are dear to the

that so great a multitude of men and

the desire and determination to be true

A majority of the people of this land

Almost any leadership, or none, will

Today the full circle of the horizon
is dark and lowering. World condi-
lions are portentous. Nobody but a
blind and witless person can view the
situation without concern. Therefore
we need a leader, world leader. equal
to our times.
There is but one. Under another
figure, Jesus Himself started the truth
at the close of His inaugural address.
He offered Himself and His teachings
as a sure foundation in a time of
storm. Doors of His word build the
house of their life upon the Rock
the rock" analogous to the under
lying stratum of limestone in Palestine
No storms or swollen torrents can

To disregard His words, Jesus con-

speech, is to play the fool and to build
his house upon san l, to be wrecked in
the first storm. Already we are seeing
the collapse of many structures of
business erected during the orgy of
war affluence. Positions and enter
prises are disappearing. They were
built on sand.
But the social structure and the
personal life built upon Jesus Christ
has an unshakable rock foundation.
