reduce its frequency and limit its consequences. The
extent and character of government action must how
ever be determined by the nature OF the industry.
We deny the right to strike against the govern
men but the rights and interests of all government
employees be safeguarded by impartial laws and
tribunity
In public utilities favor the establishment of
impartial tribunal to make an investigation of the
facts render its decision the end that there
may be no organized interruption of service necessary
to the lives and health and welfare of the people.
The decisions of the tribunals to be morally, but
not legally binding and informed public sentiment
be relied upon to secure their acceptance The tribu-
nal however, should refuse to accept jurisdiction ex-

favor the type of tribunal provided for in the trans

In private industries We do not advocate the prin-
cple of compulsory arbitration, but we favor an I'M

mediation Cancellation and arbitration supplemented

FACTS REFUTE
WATERBURY CLAIMS

Labor Dept. Figures Show Infant
Death Rate Abnormal
Through Want.

The boosted philanthropy of the
Waterbury manufacturers, their great
educational and Americanization works
among their foreign born population,
which has been loudly touted since the
10000 or $4,000 workers in the mills
there went on strike to get a living
wage is refuted in a pamphlet sent out
this week by the U. S. Department of
Labor calling attention to the alarming
death rate among infants, due princi-
pally to lack of nourishment and proper
care simply because their foreign-born
lahoring parent isn't getting enough to
support it and the mother has to go to
work to assist, leaving the infatn to
worry on the best it can until dAath
relieves it. The bulletin is a general
one but Waterbury, Conn.,, is picked out
as one of the cities where its point is
same conditions prevail, Big Business"
riding high while the poor foreign
laborer, now on strike in multitudes
and being dubbed" Bolshevists, are the
under dog. The bulletin says in part ::
THE summer peak of infant deaths
is now beginning. The conditions re-
sponsible for this peak are described
in a series of studies of infant mortal
ity made by the Children's Bureau of
the U. S. Department of Labor in six
industrial cities
I'm Manchester N. H., more babies
died from gastro-intestinal diseases
than from any other cause the rate be-
ing % per 1000 babies born alive. Two
thirds of the babies in Manchester were
born to foreign born mothers, two
ffths to mothers who could not speak
English, over. one-sixth to illiterate
mothers. Nearly half of them were in
families where the fathers earnings
totaled less than $3.50 year, and over
tWo-flfths were to mothers who were
gainfully employed during the year fol-
lowing the baby's birth. Mothers who
worked away from home were in most
cases obliged to wean their babies, and
did not understand the importance of
cape and cleanliness in giving artificial
food. Only seldom did mother report
that she modified the babys milk.
In Johnstown, Pa, Waterbury,
Conn, and New Bedford, Mass. where
similar conditions prevailed, the infant
mortality rates for diseases of the
digestive system were 81, Al and 48, re-,
spectively. In Saginaw, Mich, and
Brockton, Mass, where the proportion
of foreign born, i1literate and gainfu1ly
employed mothers was comparatively
low, and Incomes more nearly ade-
,quate, artificial feeding when resorted
to was more scientific The infant
mortality rates from gastro-intestinal
diseases were only eight and II, re-

BARS ALL ALIENS,
FROM MEMBERSHIP
Only Americans Can Be Delegates
to Body After
October 2.
MAKES LABOR EFFECTIVE
Action Taken After Lively De-
bate in Which Patriotism
Abounded.

The Boston Central Labor Union at
its regular meeting at Wells Memorial
Hall last Sunday went on record as
barring from its membership commenc-
ing on October 2 all delegates who are
not American citizens or~who have not
by that time taken out their first papers
declaring their intention Of becoming
citizens of the United States. The
above action was taken by the adoption
of a resolution after lively debate
which lasted more than half an hour
and was finally passed with but few
dissenting votes.
The resolution, which declared it to
be the sense of the meeting that no
delegate to the Central Labor Union
be seated by the body after October
unless he Tor she) is an American citi-
zen or has declared his Cor her) inten-
ton of SO becoming, was opposed by
Delegate Murray of the Letter Carriers
who warned the delegates not to let
race, creed or nationalism divide tham.
He admonished the body against adj
hitting such questions to discussion
and predicted that no good would re-
suit. to organized labor from taking
such stand.
Delegate Edward F. McGrady of the
Federal Employees Union then took the
floor and urged the body TO pass upon
the resolution favorably. Il hope
that the resolution will stand" said
McGrady, because it is the part of
wisdom to require that every delegate
be an American citizen.
The time is coming very soon when
labor will be obliged to go into politics
in its own behalf, and when that time
arrives-if it has not already arrived
a trade unionist who is not an Amer
lean citizen cannot be effective. The
battles of labor will no longer be fought
by strikes. The strike is being out
lawed. Both of the old parties are
against the strike, and, as result labor
is face to face with an uncertain and
insecure future.
Labor must get into politics in order
to have the powers of government and
the courts on its side No other method
will prove successful in winning the
battles of labor in the future 1t is
time to pass such resolution, and, in
addition, to send committee from this
body to every local union in the. city
urging such bodies to wake up to the
political opportunity which hes ahead
of them in electing members of their
own class to government Office Let's
get every member of a trade union into
the polling booth as an American citi-
zen. Not until this is done will labor
obtain the Recognition to which it is
entitled
Following McGrady's fervid appeal
the question was called for and passed
almost unanimously. Delegate Abra-
hams found it unnecessary to speak in
behalf of his motion.

SCHOOLS ASK
LEGISLATION
Meeting Of Bureau Of Education
Members at Des Moines Last
Week Gives Forecast Of
Desirable Features,

keokuk school patrons will be in
terested in the following about school
legislation, which the Des Moines
Register printed yesterday:
A forecast of desirable school
legislation featured the Saturday
noon meeting of the board Of direc-
tors Of the bureau of education in
the Chamber Of Commerce yesterday.
Senator B. J. Horchem, of Dubuque.
Senator Addison M. Parker and Rep
resentative J. B. Weaver, of Polk
county, listened in on the pedagogical
deliberations, and each contributed
to the general discussion.
Better teachers and high type in.
struction for the Iowa youth was
the goal aimed at by both schoolman
and Iawmaker. A change is asked in
the present law which limits the ex-
penditure to $50 per pupil
Many communities in Iowa are ask
ing that they may have better schools
They contend that the legal limit on
expenditure should be 800 per pupil,
which would provide more durable
equipment and thereby save expen-
sive repair bills. The city of Des
Moines has spent immense sums on
old buildings in the last decade The
same is true IN nearly every city in
tho state.
The teachers are all opposed to
having any pension legislation at
tempted at the coming session. They
advise employing competent actu-
airy to determine adequate rates reia-
tive to the hazards involved before
asking legislative attention to any
for pension.

wish to remain an accredited school,,
Mr.. Boyd reminded the women.
A. building such as the board would
consider erecting will be so construct
ed as to serve the needs of this COM
munity for at least thirty-fiye years.
1T is our idea, Mr.. Boyd' said, that
any public building should be paid
for by the people, in whose lifetime
the building is used and by the peo-
pie who use it." Working on this
plan, new building could be paid for
by means of bonds issued for twenty
years.
Another phase of the proposed
changes touched upon was the plans
for further using the present high
school building for some school woJ *
1t can be remoGeled at normal ex-
pense for manual training and domes-
tic science work; for other special
classes and perhaps; relieve the grow
ing congested conditions found IN the
seventh and eighth grades of the
George Washington school.
The talks Of DR.. Reid and Mr. Boyd
occupied all of the time Saturday af-
ternoon, and the regular business
meeting of the Civic league will be
called for some day this week, the
date to be announced later.

in concert in Keokuk, at the Grand
Opera house, Monday, Dec. ID.

cello.
Betti and Pochon, both studied with
the famous Belgian teacher, Cesar
Thomson They are an interesting
end distinguished group Of men,
intensely temperamental, and wholly
absorbed in their art. s
In London, Adolfo Betti,. first violin

curing a beautiful and well-preserved
Guadagnini violin-an extremely fine
instrument that musicians have de-
clared to be veritable find. The VIC
lin has a large tone, and is especially
suitable for modern works in the Flon-
zaleyss repertory. For the classic

The instruments which the quartet
uses are all Of great value.
