NEW JUMP IN IMMIGRATION
Increase of 10000 in Week Laid to
Typhus and War In
Europe.

Washington, ID. C.-Immigration
officials here profess to be mystified
at the sudden increase in immigratio
which Appropriated 10000 persons
last week; and, 1t continued. would
add 100000 to the population of the
country in "a year. Louis f. Post. as
sistant secretary of the department Of
labor, said today no information has
yet reached the department which will
explain the situation.
"But I have a theory about it, said
Mr.. Post. II Inn inclined to think that
many Of these people are coming here
to get away from conditions at home
and that the condition is only temper
airy. Only last week ship was held
up at quarantine with typhus aboard,
and the war is not yet over In Europe.
Either one of these conditions would
naturally make lot of people anxious
to get away"

THAT SMALL BROTHER AGAIN
Has Cooked Sister Evelina's
Goose for Good.

Some things do fall out awkwardly
don't they?
One evening the fair Evelna was ex-
pecting her latest adlnirer to call and
her mother hadn't come back from
shopping. So, while Evelina slipped
upstairs to don her best blouse and
some powder on her nose, the young
brother was left OIL guard.
The expected visitor arrived, and
was ushered into the parlor by Will
liam Edward, who promptly began to
ask questions, as small boys always do.
"Mr. Slowcombe," he said whats a
popinjay?'
"A popinjay my boy" repeated the
young man, thinking hard. "Why-er
Its rare bird"
Are you bird, Mr.. Slowcombe? ?"
persisted the inquisitor.
"Of course not Ha, Ha J" squlrmed
his victim.
swell, that's funny!" unused Will
liam Edward. Last night, after you'd
gone, ma said you were a jay, and
father said there was no doubt about
that, but there didn't seem much pop
pin the question about you. And now
you say you're not a bird at all !"

When the government first initiated
its drive For thrift and asked the as

the effort was not entirely successful
and the policy has been reversed. The
government is now saying to all these
organizations that it Is ready to CO.

Thousands of school rooms are now
organized and in many cities and

Right to Strike vs.. Right to Work

In defending the organized labor
movement, in an address before the
Commonwealth Club in San Francisco
President Samuel Gompers said in
part: THE labor movement of Ameri-
ca is not the advocate OF strikes but
labor insists that the right to strike
is the one instrument which compels
attention. We should all understand
that physical attacks upon persons or
property have never been an object Of
the labor strike but that the right of
man to quit work is an inherent
right and attribute Of freedom"
Mr.. Gompers fails to draw the inc
between the right to strike and the
right TO work. Unless the public safety
or common welfare has been placed in
danger through conspiracy to tie up
production or transportation. no at
tempt has been made to prevent men
from quitting work individually or in
a body.
No person will deny labor the right
10 organize for its own protection but
on the other hand when its program
goes beyond that point and attempts
10 prevent any butts its own members
from being employed, it cannot ,xpeet
10 retain the support Of fair minded
American public
