Chicago. Feb, 21-Warning
that poisoned stuffed olives had
been shipped by a Chicago whole
sale house to dealers in fifty-two
towns of eight, states was issued
today by ]. L. Mclaughlin, state
superintendent of food apd dali
ries.
The olives are of the ripe, stuff
fed type known as "Pimento
olives" and are in bottles.
The distributor has instructed
his statesmen in all states to call
on customers and instruct them
to withdraw the olives from sale
Immediately.
The olives are infected with
bacillus botulinus, a form of pois-
on which has recently caused a
number Of deaths in several stat
eS.
All deaths so far reported, how
ever. came from unstuffed ripe
olives. This is the first time
poisoned stuffed olives have
been reported.
The poisoned olives, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said, will have a pecu-
liar odor which should be easily
detected. Olives found contami-
mated have usually been soft and
odorous.
The bottled stuffed olives were
not suspected until a recent case
of botulinus poisoning at Kalis-
pell, Mont, was investigated by
federal authorities, according to
Mr.. Mclaughlin.
The investigation he said, dis
closed that three brands of Cali
fornia-packed stuffed olives were
involved. The brands, his state
ment says. are Batavia, >"
"Ferndell" and "Richelieu."
The name of the California pack
ed is not on the tables.
The towns to which the olives
were shipped include eight in
New York state and three in In
diana.

for more work, but tells how
much more work must be done.
The British workmen, he says,
must work one-fourth harder
than before the war.
The French must work twice
as hard as before the war.
The Germans must work eigh-
teen times as hard.
He does not indicate the extra
work required from the Ameri-
can workman. No doubt it is
less than that required of the
British. Suppose it is only half
as much. That would mean an
extra one-eighth-an additional
hour a day or else additional speed
during the working day. So
much is necessary on the part of
every worker in the United
States. for a long time to come,
in order to make up for all the
destruction and loss entailed by
the war.
There is no disposition in this
country to ask workmen to labor
for longer hours. Since the war
hours have been shortened in
many cases, there is not much
demand even that they work any
harder. during their established
working period, than they used
to, despite the economic need of
harder work from everybody.
But what we actually find in this

affiliated with the American Fed.
Grafton of Labor. This circular,
it was explained, will be the first
step in labor's campaign.
Certain members of Congress
already have been singled out as
the target for attack. Among
those whom labor will oppose is
Representative Volstead Prohi-
bition Enforcement bill and cnair-
man of the Judiciary Committee
which reported out the sedition
bill. 1t also is said Senator Cum
Minis will be opposed because of
his anti-strike cIuse in the sem
ate railroad bill.
The campaign committee of
the Federation will submit blanks
for platforms to the conventions
of both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties and will support
at the polls the party that adopts
their program to the fullest ex-
tent.
Various unions affiliated with
the Federation are planning to
exert their individual influence
in the campaign. Among these
are the unions of the union of
postal service that have been dis
pleased with the administration
of Postmaster General Burleson.
After candidates have been NOM
mated the unions will address
letters to the choice of each party
and ask that each name the man
he will nominate as postmaster
general before the election.
1t was declared by Federation
officers that no attempt would be
made to have inserted in the
party platforms planks that
would not be in the interest of |
the general public, as we'll as or

the National Federation of Post

ployes would place before the

Catholic Congregations Again to Join
In the Singing of the Gregorian Chant

caves and all kinds Of hiding places.
Naturally, there was as little noise
as possible, and the congregations
ceased singing and went through
their devotons in silence.
For three hundred years congrega-
tlonal singing was an unknown
quantity In the Catholic Church, and
then Its revival was brought under
discussion by the Benedictine monks.
st. Gregory had been a Benedctine,
and the preservation Of the Grego-
rian chants had been since his time
the special duty Of the Benedctines.
The ancient manuscripts were writ
ten by them and were in the custody
of their monasterics. When the
Benedictines were restored to
France in the beginning of the nine
teenth century and Dom Gu6ranger
became Abbot of Solesmes, he be-
came the protagonist Of the restora-
tion Of the Latin liturgy. His two
books on this subject published in
1910 and 184s resulted in the French
bishops deciding to use again the
ancient liturgy, and this made neces-
sary return to the ancient chants.
Part of the excuse for the many
changes that had taken place in
church music was the necessity of
making the music conform to the
modern tongue. The Gregorian
chants had been written for the
Latin liturgy. When the liturgy
was popularized, the syllobication, of
course, changed, and the music was
changed accordingly.
Dom Gucranger, foreseeing the de
mand, had begun in 1888 tho search
for the ancient Gregorian chants.
His two chief assistants were Dom
Jausions and Dom Pothier. Grego-
rian manuscripts were found in all
countries except America, but the
best were a ninth century manu-
script in the care of the School of
Medicine at Montpelier, France.
and a collection Of manuscripts of
the ninth, tenth, eleventh and
twelfth centuries at the monastery
of st. Gall, Switzerland. The Arch
bishop Of Rheims reGstablished the
Latin liturgy in his diocese in 1848,
and the Archbishops of Rheims and
Cambria in that year appointed a
commission to prepare modern YER
sion of the Gregorian chants. This
book, based on the Montpelier man
uscript, appeared in 1851.

But the work Of restoring the
Gregorian chant was not one that
could be accomplished in 4 brief
space Of time. All the manuscripts
Of the original chants were written
in neumes. 1t was nearly five hun
dred years since the chants had been
sung in their ancient forms, and
more than three hundred years since
the ncumes had been discarded for
other systems Of notation, while in
those three centuries the music had
undergone so many changes that it
