We recommend to our leaders In
American, thin volume Of poems by
j. V. A. Weaver, which is published by
Alfred A. Knopf. The author has q
distinct narrative gift, and Concern
ing Pikers," our favorite Of the vol
nme; "Riot" and "White Collars" are
essentially stories condensed and vivi-
fled in verse form. Various metrieal
forms are used by Mr.. Weaver, who
experiments both in rhyme and free
verse.
AS practically tone deaf person we
hardly venture to express any dogmatic
opinion upon the nature and quality 81
Weaver's verse, but it seems to us spir-
tied. AS for his narrative gifts, we are
willing to step forward with more as
surance and say that Concerning
Pikers" is capital tale we'll told. The
narrator is a person who sums up his
philosophy, as: "'The works or Moth
ing'-that's me every time" To him
comes a young man with story Of dis
tress. His family must raise SG00 TO
meet mortgage within few days or
be evicted. The gambler tells him to
take what little money he has to the
track to back Lucas in the third race.
The odds are about twenty to one. The
young man in distress has Just S39, ard
the gambler points out that If he puts
it all down on the noae. there will be
money enough for the mortgage and
500 over. If he loses, we'll, he won't be
any worse off than he was before. T.u-
cas- wins, right enough, but after the
race, when the gambler meets the
youngster and congratulates him he
begins to cry. When asked to explain
he answers:
"'Yeh, went he blubbers.
Il seen the prices" Lucas twenty to
one"

I'M MICRATIO LAW ENACTED
 BY MEXICO
CBy International News scrvicc)

CBy international News Scrvicc)
 MEXICO CITY. Oct 13.-Because Mexico already has multitudes of poor people the government wants no additions from foreign lands. For this reason a decision has been reached that immigrants from Europe must possess 1000 pesos, or $500, to be admitted into Mexico
 This is to prevent an thrush of poverty striken families which. in stead of developing farmland and ad ding to the wealth of the nation, would immediately enter into compe tition with Mexican wage earners.
 \ number of colonization schemes will be affected by this new require ment that newcomers must have $500. There are plans on foot to bring into Mexico great numbers of immigrants from Russia, Germany, Austria, Italy and other countries, in the manner in which hordes were 'i'PP'H '' 'ht 'Hll'u OldttS III luFIn- CT years.
 But Mexico is not like the United States. II does not need and could not receive even small part of what was once the annual inflow into the United States of men and women who carried with them empty pock- etbooks, good appetites and immcd fate need for work
 Some hard experiences have guided the Mexican government to its new policy. Arrivals who have come for the purpose of forming the farming colonies" have proved to be nothing more than groups of wage earners. with no thought of engaging in az riculture. These have scattered to various cities and have become com pctitors of Mexican workers at time when work has been scarce in Mex ico. One party of six hundred Germ an farming colonists did not proceed further than Mexico City. Numbers ot the farmers" came to Mexico with the intention of seeking work at Tampico, having heard tales that enormous wages were paid there.
 It is said that more recent arrivals from Germany are actually going upon the land and that some prosper ous colonies have been formed.

PRESIDENT JEWELL
SAYS NEW DECISION
IS FAR REACHING
lBy Ii FederaIed Pressl

Chicago.-B. N. Jewell, president
Of the Railway Employees Department
Of the American Federation Of Labor,
whose membership is affected BY the
decision on working rules issued by
Board, made public the following
statement:
THE decision is believed to be the
NEST far reaching decision yet render
ed by the Labor Board. As it were,
the future Of 100000 railroad shop
craft employees is wrapped up in this
decision.
at is believed that every serious
objection which railroad management
offered against the Federated Shop
Crafts national agreements has now
been acceded to and removed By the
Labor Board. To one VINO Is reason
ably familiar with the technique of
the rules governing working eondi-
tions, it is clear that if the remainder
of the railway employees are 10 be
treated as the Federated Shop Crafts
have been treated, then the earnings
of all railroad employees will have
been reduced considerably in excess
of the $500, 100000 pc ryear demand
ed by the railway management.
ITO this must be added the $780,
100000 which the Labor Board,
through its decision 147 took away
from the employees in the reduction
of their wages, which was effected
July /, 1921.
added to this is the further re-
duction in earnings which thousands
of railroad employees have suffered
because of reductions in working
forces for many months past.
"The action to be taken by the Fed
Grated Shop Crafts with respect to
the decision of the Labor Board will
be determined by the duly authorized
committee of the Railway Employees
Department, which will be convened
in Chicago, at date yet to be an
nounced."

CALL ISSUED TO
INDEPENDENT
LABOR UNIONS

New York.-A call has been issued
to all Independent labor unions and
organizations outside the A. +. of l..
TO meet in convention here on Janu-
airy 7, s and 9 for the purpose of
perfecting a general federation which
shall unity and solidify all the pro-
gressive workers. trades organizations
in the country. The announcement,
sent out by the United Labor Council
of Greater New York and Vicinity,
is entitled:
Joint call for convention of all
Independent unions and labor groups
of North America"
1t is addressed particularly to the
elements in the labor movement which
have withdrawn or been expelled
from their general organizations, and
to the hundreds of Independent unions
which have been formed outside the
A. +. of l.. and apart from other la
Dor units.
These groups are estimated to
number, exclusive of the Railroad
Brotherhoods, more than 100000 i'm
the United States and Canada, and
attention is called to the fact that
they are without any medium for
concerted action.
"The inadequacy of small units to
cope successfully with the powerful
organizations of industrial capital"
says the call, ''has led to the destruc-
ton of a number of such unions, and
has weakened all of them."

LABOR TEMPLE
IN PROSPECT FOR
LOCAL UNIONISTS

Zone thing at a time, and the hard
est thing first" was the advice of
Cyrus II. Mccormick of harvesting
machinery fame, when, at a meeting
of a board of directors, he opposed
having too many irons in the fire
at the same time.
The quotation by Mr.. Mccormick
seems to have been adopted by the
Twin City Federation of Labor, for
that body believes in doing one big
thing at time, and doing it thor
oughly.
x labor temple for the Twin Cities
has been talked of for several years,
and at the last Federation meeting
the matter was discussed at some
length; but, ON account of other pro-
iects it was deemed advisable to
place the labor temple subject aside
for the time being, but to give it as
much publicity as possible with the
aim in view to ultimately place tie
matter before the various unions In
the form of referendum vote.
That local labor needs labor tern
pie badly is recognized by all union
lists. With 35 or 40 unions meeting
in several different halls, the solid
ity of the movement is somewhat inn
paired; the union family is scattered,
and they lose much that is in common
with the different organizations
With real 'home," it is felt there
would be greater cooperation and fra
ternity, and the home ties thus
brought about would bring many
good and lasting results.
