QUEER BIT Of BUSINESS
N SAMUEL { NEPHEW
Here Is What the once Manager Tried
To Do.

The following is taken from the New
York Herald:
The house Of Samuel Nephews. Inc,
having oooperated with several other
concerns in a lawsuit for damages,
and the defendant having become
bankrupt. the office manager went to
represent the Samuel corporation at a
creditors meeting.
He returned from this and reported
that he had done a grand stroke Of
business, for which SamuePs fellow
creditors had given him great applause.
He had succeeded in arranging to have
all the bankrupt debtors available
assets divided among the other credit
ors, signing off all the claims Of his
own employers and had incorporated
with this settlement a perpetual agree
ment on the part of Samuel Nephews,
Inc, that they would hereafte&r par
ticipate with all those associated cred
itors in all the lawsuits In which they
might hereinafter be engaged.
Old Mr.. Samuel said: well, I don't
care so much about the first part of
the arrangement; I always expected it
to be bad debt. only went into the
fight as matter of principle. But as
to this agreement to go into all future
lawsuits-they may not concern me-
may disaprove Of them"
"Oh." said the envoy. "the agree
ment only means that you will engage
in such suits as you do approve Of. IT
is all subject to the approval Of your
board of directors"
Uncle Samuel
mo, the agreement is unqualified and
unconditional, but it really means that
all these future actions shall be sub
ject TO the approval Of your board"
Very well then" says Uncle Sam,
put that into the document distinctly
in black and white. before we ratify It."
Never! Not on your life!' said the
envoy.
What did Uncle Sam do? What
would any man of sense do in such a
case?
And Uncle Sam. though good fell
low, good neighbor and a generous
friend. is no fool
Very well, them" says he, 'I will
appoint your successor and we will
have new deal Instead of a combi-
nation to bring lawsuits. we shall make
one to prevent them, and settle disputes
amicably out of court That's my no.
ton. and your successor shall carry II
out"

w. w. Smead to me as I stopped to look
over the Morrow county booth at the
state fair. Listen. We harvested over
2,00O,O00 bushels of wheat this year. At
$3.50 a bushel, that means an income of
s5,000,000 to the county. We export
about 10000 sheep annually, which
means not less than 100000 to Nor
row county sheepmen. We ship out an
average of 2.25o,OOO pounds of wool.
worth about 100000, while the income
from our lay. n which we raise 10000
tons, amounts to another half million.
That makes yearly income from those
four items of s7e00.000. Out total pop
ulation we estimate at about 1000.
which makes a per capita income Of
$1,000 a year in our county. II you will

HAZLETON,< Pa, Sept. 1S.=Approx- imately ten thousand anthracite mine workers have voted to remain on va cation in the Schuylkill region until the mine operators have reinstated all pumpmen, firemen and monthly men who quit in sympathy with the miners. Christ Golden, president of the ninth district organization of the United Mine Workers, announced today.
 The attitude of the operators will be tested Monday, Golden said, when the monthly men will report for work. Tn practically all sections of the dis triet," he added, where the monthly men, mine bosses and clerks went out, the locals have voted to remain on va cation until these men are re-em- ployed. The matter is put up entirely to the operators
 Refusal of the ''vacationists" to re- turn to work in accordance with the proclamation issued Thursday by the policy committee of anthracite workers was not unexpected, as the situation in Shamokin fields has been acute due to reports that operators were going to discharge sympathetic strikers" who number about 500
 President Thomas Kennedy of the Hazelton district said all the big locals in this territory have voted to return, including those in the Panther Creek valley, with an aggregate membership of 5000.

MARION, Ohio, eSpt. 1S.-American- ism, its meaning to the foreign born citizen. and the dangers of a hyphen- ated citizenship was the keynote of an address delivered from his front porch today to delegations of foreign born citizens by Senator Harding, Repub- hcan presidential candidate.
 The delegations comprising several hundred, came from New York, Chi cago and cities of the Northwest and Cleveland
 While declaring that ''it is not pos sible, and ought not to be expected that Americans of foreign birth shall stifle love for kinsfolk in the lands from which they came" the senator against any present. or future hyphen- ated Americanism.'
 Senator Harding was interrupted many times during his address by ap- plause as he struck sympathetic notes Touching upon foreign relations. the senator declared that nothing helpful has come from the wiilful assumption to direct the affairs of Europe" but that lon the contrary. the mistaken policy of interference has broken the drawStrings of good sense and spilled bad counsel and bad manners all over the world
 "Meddling abroad" he asserted, stends to make Americans forget that they are Americans and to arouse the old and bitter feelings of race or for mer nationality or foreign ancestry in the hearts of those who ought never to be forced to turn their hearts away from undivided loyalty and interest given to America first
 Warning against hyphenism, Sena- tor Harding asserted that .sthe time might Come when a group or groups of men and women of foreign birth or foreign parentage. not organized for the interests of America, but organized around a resentment against our gov ernment, might press, by propaganda and political hyphenisrn upon our gov ernment to serve their own interests rather than the interests of all Amer ica. It is not beyond possibility, he continued E'that the day might come and may God forbid-when an organ ized hyphenated vote in American poli- tics might have the balance of voting power to elect our government. Ii this were true, America might be de- Iivered out of the hands of her citizen ship and her control might be trans ferred to foreign capital
