Labor Marches On;
Can Not Be SWerved

Chicago, Oct. 30.-"It is impossi-
BILE to kill the labor movement, be-
cause it is a religion that is deep
rooted in every life of man on this
planet" writes Editor Hohmann, ed
itor of the Bakers Journal, who
voices the spirit of workers in this
industry who have waged many gal
liant and successful fights against
debasing conditions.
'True it is" continues the labor
editor, chat the labor movement
has had its setbacks. But every
movement having for its purpose
the advancement of the cause of
humanity is halted now and again.
And temporary defeats are not al
ways without their compensation,
since they enable US to better real
ize our shortcomings and set about
correcting them.
"This prompts us to say-para-
doxical though it may seem-that
labor never loses, but has ever the
ultimate victory. For, after all, i'm
mediate victories or defeats count
| little in the order of things; and
whether they do or not, this one
fact stands out unchallenged: The
labor movement goes on winning,
wilmington sunshine and in rain,
in storm and in calm-all along the
line.
"That is why we and other work
ers in the labor cause are never
discouraged That is why, when
we are temporarily worsted in the
one contest, we lick our wounds,
take stock If orr nosition remadV
our shortcomings and come up smil-
ing for the next assault.
"For we know that however much
our enemies may assail the labor
movement, however much it's trait
ors may try to stab it in the back,
it will continue to function for the
good of humanity, because it is a
living movement, possessing both
soul and spirit, and as such can
never die"

An insane man was taken in charge
last Tuesday at Naples by Deputy
Sheriffs Bangs and Fry. on complaint
of citizens of the district. The man
was examined as to his sanity on
Thursday afternoon before Probate
Judge Henderson and was ordered
committed to the state asylum at Orc
fino Saturday Sheriff Dunning re4
ceived word that the man could not
be received at Orofino because the in
stitution was in quarantine.
The man taken in custody Tuesday
refuses to tell his name or anything
of his past history. He carried dis
charge papers issued to Andrew An
derson in 1917 from the Canadian army
for physical disability. The man also
carried receipts in his pockets made
out to Peter Peterson. 1t is likely
that arrangements will be made to de-
port the man.

trN 4NtSt Vast
Relief will make to the country in
February for funds to support Its
work among the starving peoples Of
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become Independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts Of humanity
which have prompted the people of
the United States during the last
TWO years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially Of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
VI hope we shall all unite In this
present emergency and be able TO
collect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and subsistence. / call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratiied with the results"
