 ROBBED POSTOFF|CE.

Telesforo Robles and Fernando Mon tsjo, both of whom are only 10 years old, were arrested yesterday afternoon by J. P.

employees meet
Demand Court Of Appeals and
Higher Wages for AL
Federal Employees.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. AT the
closing session Of the most successful
convention in its history, the National
Federation of Federal Employees re-
elected President Steward and Secre-.
tary- Treasurer Newneyer. New Or;
leans was selected as the 1921 conven-
ton city.
The federal employees agreed to
concentrate their energies in secur-
ing legislation that would reclassify
government employees and a demand
for a civil service court Of appeals,
with workers representation, was
recorded. This would replace the
present arbitrary system of permit
ting department chiefs to be sole
judges Of grievances. Other resolu-
tons included a minimum wage of not
less than $1,000 year or 371a cents
an hour, without regard to sex.
The convention recommended that
all locals immediatel. affiliate with
state and city central trade union
bodies. President Steward declared
that this utilization is of the greatest
benefit to the government, civilian
employees. He cited specific instances
where the A. F. Of L. has aided the
federal employees federation.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-Federal
Judge Mayer has granted the re-
quest Of the receiver Of the Brook

operation on nine lines of that sys-

cause they are losing money.
The public service commissioner
ordered the receiver to operate the

This order has been set aside by
the court.

TAMPA, Fla. Nov. 4. - Striking
cigarmakers urge the labor press and
all trade unions ard individual trade
unionists to warn workers in the cigar
industry to stay away from this city.
For nearly six months $4,000 men and

have also announced that when they
defeat the strikers they must return
to work under a lower wage scale,
which amounts to wage reduction
of As per cent.
The International, official paper of
the striking cigarmakers, makes this
appeal to the trade union movement:

THE WEAVER.

BY William J. Robinson.
l sit today at the loom of life
And weave and weave and weave;
The warp is laid by hands Divine,
But the welt is where I grieve.
For every moment in every day,
The shuttle flies through and through,
And the patterns scheme with the
dreams I dream
Are made up Of things do.
I have naught to do with the warp
tread,
The threads are already set;
But my duty lies as the shuttle flies,
In: the fabric I'm weaving yet.
Smiles and tears, kind words and
fears,
Are wound In the bobbins I wind,
And every thoughtless word is there,
And every word unkind;
And every act would fain forget,
And the thoughts that were dark and
vain,
I view in tho fabric of life I weave,
And see them again and again.
But out Of repininng and soul recoil
I look In the future and see :.
My life stretch It in it's future plan,
And a new hope comes to me.
I know not the length of the warp I
view,
know not my given span,
But into the fabric yet may weave
I'll put the best I can.
When the throw" shall fall from my
nerveless hand,
And the shuttle lies at rest,
May I hear the Vonice of the Master
say,
you've done what you thought was
best"

union SHOP PRINCIPLE
IS RULE IN BUSINESS

The principle of the Union shop,
often misnamed the "closed shop" is
accepted in everyday business life.
The dealer will agree with the man.
ufacturer to handle only a certain
kind Of goods. This is considered per-
fectly legitimate.
Why then may not an organization
Of workingmenn similarly make a bar
gain with an organization Of employ
ers? Why does it seem unconstitu-
tional when precisely the same ar
rangement is entered into between
the employer and his employees?
The labor unian says to the en-
ployer: I'VE will agree to furnish you
with competent men at so much per
day. We can contrLl the men in our
organization. They will abide by the
contract that we shall make. We
cannot control the mon who are out
side of our organization, so we ask
you to employ only our men, thus
making your shop a union shop: If
these outside men will agree to make
the same contract with you that we
have made we shall be glad to have
them come into our organization, thus
giving them the same privilege that we
enjoy"
The average employer who fights so
strenuously for the "God-given right"
Of the non-union workingman to ex-
ercise his privilege of remaining out
Of the union If he so desires. declar-
ing that his shop must be an open
shop for free men, will usually black
list the man who exercised the same
Godgiven right by becoming a men,
Der of the trade union. So, to all prac-
teal purposes the boosted open
shop" policy usually means "closed
shop" 70 the unionist.

this money from the governments

New York bankers have criticized
Senator Owen for making wild as

Owens claims are substantially cor

During the last year." said Mr..
Williams. "the burdensome and op-
pressive interest rate to which the
senator refers, have been exacted not
in 'one or two possible insignificant
cases. as one critic expressed it, and

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, nov. 1.-THE
coal section of this state has witnessed
no disorder, but coal owners are fur
nished state militia to break strike
caused by the owners refusal to ac-
cept an award by the bituminous coal
have been prohibited.
When the public was worked into
a frenzy last fall. because of the
nationwide bituminous strike. COM
mission, appointed by the governm ent,
made an award after the strike was
called off. The award was accepted
by the miners.
The commission recommended that
coal owners in Alabama and other
fields meet with representatives Of
their employees and negotiate an agree
ment. The commission also decreed
that the provisions of the award shall
be written into the agreement, that
the provisions shall not be subject to
change or amendment and that they
shall be adopted as written by the
commission.
The Alabama coal owners refuse to
obey this order and decline to deal
with representatives of their employees.
The coal owners attitude is blow
to the policy of settling industrial dis
putes by negotiation. Feeling has
been intensified by the presence Of
state troops and the refusal of the
commandant to permit the holding
Of public meetings in the strike zone.

Wool Growers 7. Put Proposition
T Up tomanufacturers Who

CHICAGO. Nov. 4.-The- national
sheep and wool bureau Of America
charges the national association of
wool manufacturers with opposing a
law that would compel the labelling
of cloth because the manufacturers
can make more money by selling
shoddy goods for ':.'all wool"
The sheep and wool bureau does not
object to the sale Of shoddy cloth, but
insists that the public should not be
deceived.
The people, want shoddy marked
and virgin wool cloth marked. says
the bureau; so that they can take
which they prefer and have range
OF prices due to competition between
shoddy and virgin wool CLOTH.
1--WE INSIST continues the bureau,
that the reason that certain textile
manufacturers wish to continue man.
ufacturing all wool cloth out of un-
identified shoddy is that they can
make more money through the use
Of shoddy than through the use Of
virgin wool.
with no labelling law to stop them,
they can sell shoddy cloth for the
same price that they can sell virgin
wool cloth. If there was compul-
sorry labelling law. they'd have to ask
the people a lower price for shoddy
cloth, because. the people would not
pay virgin wool cloth prices for cloth
that they actually knew was shoddy"

enforces the act, has spent $54,950.99
During that period increased rates
were granted to 81 corporations and
10 industrial cases were reviewed.

individual employees Of the Joplin and

was the unorganized employees of the
Great Bend flour mills, and on whom
the court took compassion and recon-
mended work day Of less than IL
hours; no, wage increase was granted.
The jurisdiction Of this. court ex-
tends beyond stopping strikes. Other
powers of these irresponsible three
Judges are:

Want WOMEN TO
SIT AS JUDGES
British Board Of Education Re.
commends as Magistrates in
Chi|dren'S Courts,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Women
magistrates for courts dealing with
children's. cases are advocated in a.
report issued by the British board Of
education, according to information
received. by the United States chill
dren's bureau.
Juvenile offences against the law
are on the increase in England. The
old methods of punishment by whip
ping and Imprisonment have failed.
In, 1910 the number Of young persons
sent to prison totaled $500. In 1913 it
had. Increased to 5000. OF all those
who were punished by detention one
sixth were back in the court within
month. Whipping has proved even
more of a failure. as one-fourth OF the
offenders reappeared in court within
month.
The English magistrates, it is
stated, have not had a sympathetic
understanding of child life and they
have not been keen to avail them
selves of the many facilities for con-
posal by the chIidren's act Of 1908.
The principle of rehabilitation IS rec
ognized in law, but the practice has
been reelected.
The report recommends that every
court should have a children's proba-
ton officer. His duty would be. not
only to supervise cases himself, but to
secure the cooperation of teachers
scout masters, officers Of: boys and
girls clubs and other social orgs. "a
