The same writer cites this case:
In one city a contractor. signed
an agreement to dig q subway and
entered into agreement with the
workmen. After . few weeks the
unions tore up the agreement and
struck. This happened repeatedly.
The day fixed for the completion
Of the work was now only six
months away. To avoid paying
forfeit. the engineers figured out
the number OF cubic yards to be
dug per man to complete the con-
tract. The contractor assembled
the men and their officials and said
that il each man would dig a GER
tain number Of yards he could con-
slider his days work done and draw
a days wage.
1t was found that those men in
two hours could dig the stipulated
days task. Some did not come for
three days at time and then, on
the fourth day. dug for eight hours
| and drew four days pay. Their
work was a lie; their contract in
dustrial treachery. They were
profiteers as bad as on the CAPT.
talistic side.
On such principles. whether
practiced by labor or by capital
there can be no industrial or So
, cial order or progress. 1t is cross,
/ stupid insanity. No wonder the
American people are growing in
dignant at the outrages on both
sides. and the consequent menace
to the peace of the world. Over
against the shameful conduct in
the digging of the subway, place at
the other extreme this fact: FIT

These theories, If true, will be the

words, Euclidian straight lines do not
exist in space as we have been taught.

the brothers of the lodge had gotten themselves in such shape by the antici- pated trip to his ranch and the in diligence in a watermelon feast that nothing short of this would do. It was decided that next Monday we should eat watermelon at the lodge room. A foraging and transportation committee was appointed with Sovereigns Mason and Leyhe in command, and all owners of patches of this lucious fruit are warned to keep watch of their prop erty It was thought best to keep Sow ereign Pryor off of that committee as it has developed that some similar excusion was responsible for him and Mrs. Pryor sustaining severe injuries in an automobile mixup last week. Our big clerk is still limping around con- siderably as the result, and we are pleased to learn that Mrs. Pryor has so far recovered as to be able. to attend to her office duties We like water melon but not at that price. so farmers are requested to protect their property by shotguns and bulldogs in preference to the deadly automobile The ladies are especially invited to help us get away with these watermelons. Be on hand about 9 D. m.

The cards being sent out for this purpose by the clerk are get ing results and parents are again urged to attend to it. This. applies to the women of Woodractf as well as the men'S lodge.
 The program can not at this time be given in detail; the names of those selected for the different parts will be published in these columns later.
