Labor's First Striving
for place in the Sum
Was Mainly Political

Early manifestations of the labor
feeling in the United States were po-
litical. In 1929 workingmen's ticket
was placed in nomination in New
York. This political movement spread
into Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
and contributed to the formation of
the Loco Foco party which played an
important part in the politics of that
period. Political organization fastened
organization for trade purposes and
in 1888 the General Trades union of
the city of New York elected its presi-
dent to congress. In 1882 the New
England Association of Farmers, Me
chanics and Workingmen was organ
lied in Boston. The three most I'm
pOrtant labor organizations which ap-
peared before the Civil war were or
ganized In 1S45 The New England
WOrkingmen's association. the New
dustrial Congress of the United
States All three organizations waned
in the early sos, and from that time
until the end of the Civil war many
trades unions of the narrower kind
We're formed During this period
many trade union leaders character
lied the trade union as exclusive and
warmly advocated the formation of
broader organizations which would
elevate the masses by other means
than the strike and the regulation of
apprenticeship. In 1866 their efforts
resulted In the formation of the Ma.
tional Labor union, which attempted
to found Labor Reform party and
died in 1870 "of the disease known as
politics"
The work laid down by the National
Labor union fell into the hands Of the
Knights of Labor, formed In Decem-
Der, 1869, by leaders of dissolved
local union of garment cutters in
Philadelphia. Until 1882 the name
and purpose Of the order were kept
secret. In 1886 It became involved in
the Missouri Pacific strike. Its mem
bership then numbered 100000. There
after. split by internal dissensions
and weakened by strikes, its member
ship and influence declined. In 1914
1t had less than 100000 members. The
American Federation of Labor orig
mated In an attempt to found gen.
eral organization of American work
ingmen distinct from the Knights of
Labor on II trade union basis. A pre-
liminary convention was called by the
knights of Industry and the Amalga-
mated Labor unlon-the latter COM
posed largely of seceders from the
knights of Labor-and met in Terre
Haute. Ind, August 2. 1881. The first
official convention met mt Pittsburgh.
Pa, In November. 1881. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has prac-
tically taken the place Of its former
rival, the Knights of Labor, the organl-
zation which was ull-powerful some
twenty-five years ago.

WHERE THEY WOULD BE LOST
Deaf Mutes Had the Advantage In tho
Noisy Subway, but How About
the Darkness2

Senator Thomas ]. Walsh of Mon
tana and his secretary were returning
from late session of the senate one
night by way of the merry-go-round
motor that runs through the subway.
This queer, though reputed to be
luxurious, motorcar makes more noise
than an airplane, and in the clatter
and noise one usually sits with closed
eyes until whizZed through to the 9TH

however, two deaf mutes, utterly un-
conscious of the din, sat conversing
easily on the front seat. Senator
Walsh watched their fingers fly, fas-
cinated. Leaning over to his secre-
tary, he yelled in his good ear:
"Miles, they've got 1t on us, after all.
haven't they?" But in few minutes
he followed It up gleefully with: "Say,

To Each Man Has Been
Allotted Certain Work
to Be Required Of Him

Columbus begged his way from
door to door in strange land, lead
ing his little son forlornly by the
hand. Thomas A. Edison was the
prey of bill collectors who dogged his
footsteps like hungry wolves.
There are countless other men
known and unknown to history who
suffered nameless prosecutions, even
suffering death itself because they
could not be dissuaded from doing the
work that they believed 1t was theirs
to do.
Work was their religion. 1t was the
ruling passion of their lives. "And.
after all. work is the great adventure"
as Frank Lane said not long ago in
one of his public speeches.
Work should be every mans re-
ligion. God himself has said that 1t
Is the truest way to pray. 1t is only
the devil who loves to find our hands
idle.
Now, it is true also that II is not
given to all men to make magic fid-
dies, to grasp beauteous ceramics
from the oven or to discover new
worlds. But, 1t is also true that every
man can find work for his hands to
do. 1t may he very humble work, In
deed: 1t may be work that anyone can
do: but no matter what IT is, we can
make 1t great. We can make 1t holy,
even. We can consecrate our work
by the soul that we put into It.
It seems to us that Gods most gra-
cious dispensation to men is that he
continuously creates a sufficient num-
her of them to do the common tasks
If we were all of MS bent on making
fiddles or ceramics. painting pictures
and weaving songs. there would be
no one left TO hew the wood and
draw the water.
In other words. II we were all art
lists" who would cook the meals and
wash the dishes?
There is no dignity to equal the dig
nifty of labor. Remember that. And
remember. too. that there is no labor
that lacks dignity, no matter how
simple or how common or how hum
bile its tasks may he.

Vinegar Aids In Preventing Spoilage.
During the past year the home
economics experiment kitchen OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture HIS been experimenting with the
addition of small amount Of acid
vinegar-to nonacid vegetables being
canned This work is being continued
and the results thus far indicate that
one to four tablespoonfuls of vinegar
added to quart jar help greatly in
reducing the amount of spoilage.
When the vinegar Is added. the time
of processing can be reduced. For in
stance, It Is found that corn, which
ordinarily Is difficult to can success
fully, keeps well when four table
spoonfuls of vinegar are added to n
quart jar processed three hours con
tinuously. String beans, old peas and
spinach are other vegetables success
fully cLnned by this method.
The addition of vinegar to canned
vegetables in the amounts mentioned
modifes to some degree the natural
flavor OF the vegetable. but the result
is not Objectionable to most people
aud In many instances is not noticed.

CAN BEANS FOR
USE IN WINTER
Valuable as Basis for Innumera-
BILE Salads and Various
Vegetable Side Dishes.
CANNING DIRECTIONS GIVEN
Care Used In Following Instructions
Will Be More Than Compensated
by Product Which viii Keep
Well in Cold Weather.


Plenty of string beans in jars in the
store closet means that the basis for
innumerable salads and vegetable side
dishes is at the housekeeper's COM
mand all during the winter months,
so when this vegetable is at its best in
the garden or on the market the wise
woman cans enough for use when 1t is
out of season. The following direc-
tions for canning string beans are
given by the United States depart
ment of agriculture:
Select small, tender wax or green
beans for canning purposes. Beans
which have grown within the pod to
any size Ire difficult to can, and the
resulting product is not as satisfac-
tory rs one from younger beans. The
sooner the beans are in the jar after
picking the better the flavor and the
more certain they are to keep. Wash,
string and cut off the ends of the
beans. Whole beans may be canned
or they may be cut in short lengths.
Those cut diagonally are attractive in
appearance

Cut tomatoes into small pieces, cook

At the same time cook the orange rind,

chopper, in II pint of water, slightly
salted so as to keep the peel tender,
in case it is to be used later in max
ing relish. Combine these two mix
lures, and Drain through jelly bag
in the usual way. Squeeze the bag
gently, in order not to waste the juice
which remains behind. You will find
that in this case squeezing does not
greatly affect even the appearance of
the jelly. There should be II quart of
juice, more or less, according to the
boiled down. Boil the juice for ten
minutes to reduce it in bulk and con-
centrate its solids. At the end of the
boiling period, measure the juice; for
each cupful of juice, add one-half cup
full of sugar and Qne-half cupful sirup.
Boil until good jelly test is secured
that is, until 1t begins to jelly as the
last drippings come from the spoon
or when n drop stands on II cold plate.
The amount of jelly secured will be
at least three glasses or somewhat
more than one pint. 1t may under
favorable circumstances be almost
twice this.
If this juice when poured into glass
es show signs of jellying, but does not
set at once, set it away, lightly COW
ereG with cloth, for several days; you
may secure fine, firm jelly nt the
end OF week. 1t should then be COW
cred with hot parafiin as usual.
In our own experience, the jellies
made with large proportion of corn
sirup will be satisfactory If served
within an hour or two after turning
out of the glass, but do not "hold up
perfectly If left to stand for II day or
two. even though quite firm in the be-
ginning.
Use pulp left after draining for
sweet-spiced green tomato relish.

On the jars place rubbers which have
been boiled in solution of one table

from four level tablespoonfuls of salt
to four quarts of boiling water. Put
