wiser workmen are losing patience
with those elements and are denounc-

ness TO work Is also shown by vol

adjustments Not long ago vote was
taken by the workmen of all the

Applied Socialism War.
The same thing has occurred IN 9th
err parts of the country. In all such
cases it Is the workmen themselves
who act; any pressure from the out
side would only make matters worse.
The hopeful thing in all this Is that
it is the older, more reliable workmen
who are taking matters into their own

which had taken control of shop or
ganization in many towns
But looking further into the future
most German manufacturers just now
are filled with grave misgivings about
the development of the relations be
tween capital and labor. The National
Assembly is soon to pass a law for the
establishment of shop councils which
embodies the highest reach of applied
socialism that the world has yet wit
messed.
1t win provide for the election OF
shop councils in all manufacturing and
commercial establishments, except the
smallest ones; and these councils will
be entitled to elect one or two repre-
sentatives in the boards of directors
with all the rights of ''pay" members.
They will make known the wishes OF
the working force and will be entitled
to vote on ali questions.

grounds for deep discomfort. Err

teresting stories of the Eskimo race,
concerning their customs and their
condition. He especially stressed the
terrific havoc wrought by the influenza
epidemic Of last year In which nearly
half of the Eskimo population OF
Alaska was wiped out.
They seemed to have no resistance
to the epidemic" said the Presbyterian
secretary. Probably their dirty con
ditions of living and homes helped to
spread the disease, and undoubtedly
their habit of herding together and not
separating the we'll from the sick ac-
counted in large measure for the In
roads made"
If 1t had not been for government
regulation which prevented any traders
going to the infected districts or from
the infected districts to the Eskimos,
II is probable that there would have
been very few left of this race at the
end of the epidemic last year. declared
DIR. Marquis.
One peculiar custom noted by the
Presbyterian secretary was the Eskimo
habit Of building fences of whale bones
about their cemeteries. Ii used to be
that whalebone was regarded as very
precious, but because of the many sue
cessful substitutes that are now being
used, 1t has lost much of its CONNER
cial value. What peculiar property at
taches to the whalebone that it should
be such an excellent material for Gene
terry fences is not known, unless the
scarcity of other material makes IT'S
use cheap and desirable.
