Writing Is Slow
Work in China

How would you like to take a
brush, ink block and ink tablet and
paint hieroglyphics, or a sort OF
picture letters, on the paper when
you write a letter? That is the
way people write in China and
have written for more than 1000
years. There are 10000 of these
picture letters in their written al
phabet. 1t would take long time
to learn ones A, B, Cs there,
wouldn't it?
People who have gone to China
to live. and especially the mission
workers, have found it was a big
task to try to learn to read and
write in that country.
So they are trying to teach the
people to use typewriter with
only 80 characters.
The present government at Pc
kin, which has shown many times
that it wished to help the Chinese
people to get in closer touch with
the life Of the western nations, has
expressed it's approval Of this
change in writing their language.

Dear Aunt Polly: l am a little
girl ten years old and l am going
to make up story.
Once upon a time there was a
man and woman. They were going
to a store to buy a piece Of meat
and they took it home and put it
on the stove. And they burned it
and they went and bought another
one. They put the piece on and
they ate their dinner. Then they
went up town and bought a dress
and the man bought him a suit.
When they came back, both of them
put them on and they both looked

WANT SERVICE"
Justice is Only Secondary
Consideration

Philadelphia. - The Philadelphia
Public Ledger declares that the pub
lie wants service and cheap goods,
and that any one who gets in the way
of this demand viii be fatened out.
The editorial is a blunt defense Of
"can't-strike" laws and no time is
wasted on the claim that ''the public
will insist on justice" which is US
ually made by anti-strike advocates.
"The American people want service
and goods-better, swifter, cheaper
service and hence cheaper goods" says
this publication. "Any men or set of
men, be they capitalists, managers,
workers or labor leaders who delib-
erately get in the way Of this popu
lar demand had far better put them
selves in the path Of the heaviest
'flier' On the Pennsylvania railroad" 5"
The editor says workers must make
out strong case if the public is to
respond workers must not incon-
venience the public.
Between the lines is the inference
that the public viii not interest it.
self in the wrongs of workers unless
they take such action that will force
the public to move.
After declaring that cheapness and
not justice must be the standard in
production the editor makes this sig,
nifcant statement:
"Umonism is the sole bulwark
against Notwithstanding tyranny
Of frequently soulless capital" and 1t
is the typical American shield from
the insanity of bolshevism."
The editorial illustrates a mans
attempt to have his cake and eat it.

WOULD MOB
STRIKERS
Sore at Cigar Makers For
Striking

Tampa, Fla.-The notorious "citi-
zens' committee" has been revived in
this city and these business men are
attempting to intimidate cigar MAX
ers who were forced on strike because
of union affiliation. This committee
hes committed acts of violence against
workers in previous strikes. In the
present instance the local press sug-
pested that officers of the cigar MAX
ers be told to "get out of town"
This gang of business men recently
called on Sol Sontheimer, representa-
tive of the international Cigar Max
ers' Union, and notified him that he
would be held responsible for any dis
orders in connection with the strike.
The unionists asked for proof of dis
orders, but this was not forthcoming
A short time ago strikebreakers were
arrested for disorderly conduct and

trial, which resulted in the thugs ac-

1t is going to take more than freez-

STRIKEBREAKERS
ARMED BY STATE DURING DENVER STREET
CAR MEMS STRIKE
Facts Concealed BY Press Brought Out in Church Mems
Report

Denver.-The Indictment of the
steel trust by the inter-church world
has been duplicated in a re-
port issued by local church men on the
recent street car strike in this city
which resulted in the death of several
persons and the injury of more than
100 others.
The investigators represent the re-
ligious forces of this community and
include Protestant, Catholic and jew
1t is shown that strikebreakers were
furnished rifles and ammunition that
is the property of the state and that
General Superintendent West of the
company expressed amazement that
there should be any question as to the
authorization for supplying the state
rifles and equipment to the strike
breakers"
"As documentary evidence of the
accuracy of his statement" says the
report, 'he showed US a communiea-
ton from the adjutant general which
states plainly that so rifles and 1900
rounds Of ammunition were furnished
to the company on August 7 at the
governors request"
Despite the poisoned publicity of
the company and newspapers, the
church men state that the unions
officials did not infame the car men
to strike rather than accept wage re-
ductions.
The report says none could gather
an impression Of the facts from the
accounts as published in the daily
press"
This poisoned publicity of the com
rany and its allies is treated at
length in the report. 1t is shown

WORK NEEDED TO END
WARS

Washington-Wars have not end

to accomplish that purpose is the view
expressed by President Wilson in
authorizing the American minister to
Norway to accept the Nobel peace
prize on his behalf
If there was but one such prize
or if it were to be the last | could
not, of course, accept it," said the
president. For mankind has not yet
been rid of the unspeakable horror of
war. l am convinced that our genera
ton has, despite its wounds. made
notable progress. But it is the better
part of wisdom to consider our work
as only begun 1t will be a continuing

years before US there will be abundant
opportunity for others to distinguish
themselves in the crusade against hate
and fear and war"

FINE LESSON In

his cheek when defending a prisoner
last week. 1t was case of embezzle-

that there was no "bolshevist ele-
ment" in the union and not particle
of evidence has been found to support
this and similar charges.
In listing the methods used in this
poisoned publicity, the report says:
Another common and equally un-
fair method of campaign is to repre-
sent that labor has fallen under the
vicious influence of radical agitators.
Sober, home-loving and law-abiding
working men whose patriotism can
not be questioned, and whose hatred
cf every form Of anarchy and lawless-
ness is deep seated, both in their an
cestry and their whole education and
training, are recklessly and wickedly
charged with harboring sentiments
which the men repudiate and they are
not influenced by outside agitators
who exist only in the imagination of
their calumniators. This particular
kind of misrepresentation is now a
feature of every industrial controver-
sy and the tramway strike in Den
yer is no exception"
In reply to the company's claim
that it's strikebreakers were peaceful,
the report says:
''They certainly acted very different
from the same strikebreakers a day
or two later at the East Side barns,
when, without having received any
injuries whatever, and under the pro-
lection of barn doors, the Denver po-
lice and the American Legion, they
fired on a curious crowd of men. wo-
men and children and endangered the
lives of hundreds of people in their
homes, on their verandas, in their
front yards, or walking peacefully
and legitimately on the streets"

INJURIES DECREASE

San Francisco.-A substantial de-
crease in the industrial deaths and
permanent injuries during 1919, as

report Of the California industrial ac-

ending June 3, 1920 Last year there

COMPERS INVITED
To Mexico as Guest of That
Republic

Washington.- -President-elect Obre-
gon and the state department of Mex
leo beth invited President Gompers
to attend the Mexican presidential in
auguration in Mexico City on Novem-
Der 30. 1t was impossible for the A.
r. of L. executive to attend and ne
commissioned Luis N. Marones, for
.nler secretary of the Mexican Fedora
ton Of Labor, to represent him.
This is probably the first time that
the president of a labor movement
has been invited by the chief execu-
tive of another country to attend his
Inauguration.
Answering the invitation of DR.. Hi
dalgo, of the Mexican state depart
ment, President Gompers said:
1T is with sincere regret that / find
myself 50 situated as to render it i'm
possible for me to make the trip at
this time. | hope to have the honor
Of meeting President Obregon and
yourself during my contemplated visit
to your city next January to attend
the Pan-American Federation of La
Dor. In the meantime please convey
to your distinguished chief my felici-
tations upon the auspicious occasion
and my sincere hope that under his
leadership peace, progress and pros
perity may come to the full to the
people and the republic of Mexico"
President-elect Obregon then for
warded this telegram to President
Gompers through Consul General De
Negri:
"Citizen Alvaro Obregon, president
elect of Mexico, has especially com
missioned me by telegraph to request
you to grant US the honor and pleas
ure of your personal appearance in
Mexico at the Inauguration of his
presidential term. gladly state that
it would be high and true honor to
have the president of the American
Federation of Labor as the guest Of
the nation on such solemn and
transcendental occasion for US.
''In case it is not possible for you
to accede, as | fear, by reason of
the peremptory request, beg to ask
respectfully that you please name a
representative the earliest date by
wire, giving me his name. Wishing
you health and all success, / send you
my best regards"
The invitations to President Com
pers are indicative of the standing of
the American Federation of Labor
south of the Rio Grande and is also
an appreciation Of President Gompers
opposition to American jirgoes who
have been crying for war with Mex
leo during the past several years.

Washington Institution of judicial
