It, is generally supposed that
Hearst's publications are the cham
pions of labor. This impression may b
attributed to Hearst's editorial
"front," in which he poses as the
workingman s friend.
AS matter Of fact Gompers regards
Hearst as organized labor's worst enc.
my, and bawls him out on every occa-
SIGN, claiming that William Randolph
seeks to supplant the influence Of labor
leaders, and control the workers, him
self.
If organized workers would read
their official journals as carefully -
they read Hearst's publications,
Hearst's pose would get him nothing.

MANUFACTURING REVIVAL HAS
BEGUN.

Renewed courage, determination tc
make q 60 of things, confidence that
emissions better business after the de-
preston shall have passed-all the men
tai bucking up that is generally de-
scribed by the phrase "improving SEN
timent ''-these things are essential to
real revival of manufacturing activ-
ity. But quite often when we are talk
ing Of better sentiment, if we would
but look for it, we might find tangible
evidence of better business. Here are
some statistical data, which writer
in Forbes Magazine IN. W says re-
veal "pretty good gains for a period
wherein so many people imagined there
was no real Improvement in trade.'
From January to April this year there
has been an increase of 81 per cent
in our imports Of crude materials for
use in manufacturing. This is meas.
ured in value rather than quantity; so
that, as prices have been going rapidly
downward, the gain in quantity is
probably around 40 per cent. In briee,
car loadings show that manufacturers
have been shipping to dealers thei,
surplus stocks of finished goods and
buying more coal with which to pro.
duce more goods; and imports Of crude
materials make it plain that manufac-
turers have been charging their pur-
chases Of supplies.
Nor is this all Of the tangible, un-
mistakable evidence of a general bet
terment in the manufacturing industry.
The Labor Department at Washington
each month obtains returns from nearly
800 manufacturing plants scattered
throughout the United States, showing
the number Of persons employed and
the amount Of the payroll. These re-
turns disclose the. facts that manufac-
turing was at its minimum in January
and that it has been moderately i'm.
proving ever since.
We are warranted in concluding that
the manufacturing revival is fact, and
not merely hope or a dream. 1t Is
slow, and it is neither uniform nor uni
versal. Some industries have not YET
joined the march toward better times,
but in due course they will. If one .
own business is still on the downward
trend, the best policy should be to take
courage and begin calculating when the
inevitable revival will reach it, and
how best to take advantage of the re-
vival. Faith and hope are not neces.
sary, because all that is required to be
convinced of the slow but steady re-
covery is open-eyed observation.
Producers and traders in goods fur
home consumption may expect almost
immediate further improvement, and
business in expansion materials prom.
Uses faithfully to revive as soon as con.
sumption grows enough to pretty full
| utilize our existing capacity.

USE YOUR" HEAD.

The best man in the world is worth
only about S. day from the shoulders
down. He can get that for pitching
hay or digging sewer because all the
man who digs a sewer uses anything
above his shoulders for is to spit on his
hands. When he commences to use his
head for something besides that he
commences to be worth money and to
get it.
He may weigh 200 pounds from tbs
ears down and gray matter Of the nor
NAL man only weighs about 4s ounces
but unless he uses that 48 ounces to
think with, his two hundred pounds is
not worth much.
If you want to be worth more than
S. day, use your head, don It, lose it.
The most effective way any man can
use his head is to see that the money
he makes does not all get away from
him. It won't make much difference
to you whether you get more than So
a day or less if you spend it all. You
won't have anything anyway.
The method Of saving your money
and making it work for you is right at
hand. 1t is as close as the nearest
postofifce. All you have to do is to set
aside certain amount each week anG

and Treasury Savings Certificates. II
you do that, you are making the as
ounces above your collar carry the
weight from your neck to your heels.

FORTY YEARS OF LABOR.

ment as measured by dues-paying men,
bers affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor is gained by retro
spective view and then compared with
present-day records. When the fedora
ton was formed at Pittsburgh in 1881
it had less than $4,000 members. Thiz-
teen years later, in 1894, when the fed
Grafton first met at Denver, the men,
hership stood at 255,000. At the Sec
ond Denver convention in 1908 the fed
Grafton had begun to hit it's stride and
the total membership was reported as
being 1,5S6,S8J. Another thirteen
years rolls by and the third Denver con.
vention, now in session, finds the mem
