INDUSTRIAL PEACE VITAL
Cartwright, to Speak Here, Says II
Concerns Workers Families

Good industrial relations between EN-
ployer and employe are of vital interest
to every wife and mother of workers in
Philadelphia.
This is the belief of former State Sen
fornia, author and lecturer on indus
trial problems, who will be the principa
speaker at the mass meeting of the
electrical workers of Philadelphia, In
the Academy of Music tomorrow night.
1T is the business of every wife to
realize the problems that confront her
husband. son or daughter who make the
great industrial America" said Senator
Cartwright. EVERY successful man
can attribute much of his success to the
influence of his mother or wife.
"A good wife or mother-those who
understand-is the making of a man.
When the workman comes home with a
crouch it is womans influence that fire.
quently turns his efforts to good or bad.
Resides the better the industrial re-
lations in the plant where the HUSBAND
is employed the better the home rela :
tions. A discontented worker is likely
to bring nothing but discord in the
home.
I'm fact, the future home life Of
America is much dependent on the
future industrial conditions of the
nation. Take Russia, for example. The
radical control with equally radical in :
dustrial conditions has virtually caused
the dissolution of home life in that
country. Woman and the home have
been degraded"

Seven prominent Philadelphians. ac-
tive in social welfare. have been asked
by DR.. Wilbur r. Crafts. of Washing
ton. to use their influence toward pre-
venting the shinment OF morphia from
this city to Japan.
DR.. Crafts. who is superintendent OF
the International Reform Bureau. said
today that Philadelphia and New York
firms were shipping large quantities OF
the drug to Japan and it was time that
some action to stop the practice was
taken.
1.-THE manufacturers know" said DR..
Crafts, that Japan sends this morphia
direct to China. where 1t is debauching
the Chinese. japan does not require
opium, as the country raises its own.
What Philadelphia firm Is sending
morphia to JAPAN" DR.. Crafts was
asked.
~ will not give the name now" he
said, but all the names are mentioned
in the report of the International Re
form Bureau"
DR.. Crafts also declined to name the
seven men whom he has asked to aid
in stopping shipments Of morphia from
this city.
Japan has imported fifty tons of
narcotics in the last four years." he
said, land the shippers certainly must
know that it is not used by that
country"
DIR. Crafts said that the reform
bureau had prepared bill prohibiting
expectation and importation of morphia
which will be introduced in the Senate
by Senator w. L. Jones, Of Washing
ton, and in the House by Representative
Miller, of the same state.
