INACTIVITY IN MANY LINES.
Report Made by Federal Reserve
Bank for June Shows Situation
to Be Unfavorable.

Much unemployment exists among
the workers in the clothing and tex
tile industries. according to the re-
port of the Federal Reserve bank for
June, the New York World states In
some cloak and suit factories 20 per
cent of the operators are not at work.
Inactivity is usual at this season Of
the year. but it is now exceptionally
extensive
During the last few years only 80
to 40 per cent have been laid off dur
ing the dullest season. Practically all
the fur makers Ia New York city are
on strike, and it is estimated that
10000 are out.
In contrast To the preceding Is the
increased activity In the building
trades. II Is estimated that month
ago only about Is per cent of the
men were working, but now the per-
centage has been increased to 90.
There Is a shortage Of several hundred
houseWreckers
There is shortage of unskilled
workers The supply of immigrant la
Dor Is below the demand, and there is
shortage of farm help.
According to the state industrial
commission the average weekly earn
lngs were S28.45 during May, nm In
crease of 65 cents over the average
for April and the highest report so
far. The most marked Increases were
In metal work, machinery, railroad re-
pair shops shlpbuildng and furniture.
The greatest decreases were In men
and women's clothing and In fur and
fur goods. 1t Is probable that part
of the Increases were due to the lay
ing off Of the less competent work
ers, whose lower earnings reduced the
average.
Many woolen mills and SILK mills
are shut down and are running only

PAYING FOR WANToN WASTE
Settlers Have Lived TO Regret the
Ruthless Destruction Of Their
Black Walnut Trees.

Not many years ago the settlers Of
the middle West were girdlng black
walnut trees In order to kin them, the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle OBJ
serves They We're too lazy to cut
them down and took this method 10
destroy the life or the trees, SO that
they might plant corn and SOW grain
among the dead and leafless trees.
In some localities mills were saving
the walnut logs into lumber for all
purposes, even for boarding, floors
and clapboards inside finish and
everything that could be made from
It; and many a good walnut board has
been split up for kindling.
Walnut was then cheap and plenti-
full. The settlers wanted to clear the
land, and no one thought that the
timber would become exhausted. Then
the forests were full of grand old
trees, any one of which would today
pay the possessor the purchase price
of many acres of land.
Today walnut Is hard to find and
the price Is very high, as is Illustrated
by the fact that Maryland farmer
recently sold four old walnut stumps
for $1,0o0-.iust such stumps as the
farmers worked hard to pull and burn
to get them out of the way.
Walnut is not alone In Its scarcity,
but the many purposes for which wal
nut could be used made it a wood OF
great value, and now efforts are being
made to reforest the denuded lands
with black walnut. 1t Is safe to as
sumo that those little trees will be
watched with great care until they
grow to merchantablo size, and then
others will be set TO replace the cut
r4ngs. There will be no more ruth
less destruction OF the forests, wheth-
er It be walnut or any other variety
of wood. The people have learned
lesson; a costly one, 1t is true. but
one that VIII never be forgotten.
The demands for timber are such
that all governments are now pro-
tecting the forests, and the time Is not
far distant when the owners of timber
and timber lands will be the men to
whom the people will take of their
hats, and to whom they will even get
down upon their knees. so to speak,
for timber will be king.

INCORPORATION
Of Trade Unions Riddled BY
Labor Head
Theory Invented For Pur-
pose of Limiting
Liability
"a "a "a

Chicago o.-The incorporation Of trade
unions is riddled by Victor 0lander,
secretary treasurer of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor in the Of
fetal paper of that organization.
'The scheme of incorporation,
writes this trade unionist, was in
vented and is being practiced for one
purpose only-that of limiting liabil-
ity. The excuse is that unless pros
pective investors are guaranteed
against liability beyond that which
they actually put into the business
they will not care to risk their money.
The state, thereupon, acting under po
litical pressure of money power, pro-
ceeded to enact laws limiting the liza
bility of investors so that man of
wealth could safely take a chance at
almost any nefarious scheme under
the cover of incorporation without in
volving himself IN any further risk
than the amount he mad contributed to
that scheme in the shape of payment
for stock, etc.
Incorporation invariably provides
for limitation of liability. The whole
theory is that of limited liability In
cidentally it may be pointed out that
the limitation of liability is not con-
fined to incorporated organizations. 1t
has extended itself in many directions
and is probably responsible for more
suffering, more injury and death,
more cheating and swindling, than any
other single scheme ever invented by
mankind, in practice at the present
time.
Property is a proper subject of
control by the state, whether it be
owned by an incorporated business or
ganization or by a partnership or by
an individual. If any reasonable
means can be devised whereby the
workers can be given greater share
in the profits of the industries and
! participation in their management

CHURCH ALONE
OF ALL THE BIG ORGANIZATIONS STANDS WITH
LABOR AGAINST open SHOP"
CAMPAIGN
Declares Keystone of UniOnsm Is Collective Bargaining
Through Workers Representatives

Washington-"The so-called open
shop is supported by the bench, the
bar, politicians and practically all OF
the daily newspapers, but it is sig
nifcant that the greatest moral force
in the country stands with labor on
this question:" writes Frank Morrison
secretary of the A. F. of L., to Phil
adelphia newspaper.
"The theory of big business is re-
jected by the church," says the trade
unionist. "The representative of the
church, regardless of creed, denounce
the so-called open shop and declare
it is an attempt to crush organized
labor. The commission on church and
social service Of the Council of
Churches of Christ in America, repre-,
senting 81 Protestant denominations
with membership of 18,620,186 in
$4,000 churches, has taken this posi-
tion, and the National Catholic We'll
fare Council, composed of representa-
tive bishops of that church, declare
that the open shop is a mask for
non-unionism and is not only a men
ace to wage earners, but threatens the
whole structure of industrial peace.
''These church men have probed the
open shop. They have treated this
subject from the standpoint of priu-
ciple rather than terms. They find
that the open shop is non-union, both
in practice and intent.
"The keystone of trade unionism is
collective bargaining through repre-
senatives of the workers choosing.
The open shopper demands that each
individual worker treat with employ
ers.
ITO state this case would seem suf-
fcient to prove the ineffectiveness of
individual bargaining in an age of gi-
gantic corporations whose owners
never see the plant, do not even know
where it is located, and are only inter
ested in dividends.
Stripped of it's pretense, the open
shop IS anti-union because it denies
workers the very thing that forces
them TO unite. The fact that trade
unionism exists is proof that individ-
ual bargaining has failed. Workers

HELL IS AN OPEN
SHOP"

The following from the Pennsyl-

good Read it.
The Pennsylvania Manufacturers
Association is exploiting a poem from
the Hardware Age" on the open shop,
which to our mind is a pippin"
We have always contended that an
open shop is "helluva" place to work
in, and now we get this verifcation
from the manufacturers themselves.
Here it is, read it:
All his life in union shop
He'd daily earned his bread;
They buried him in a union grave
When the union man was dead.
He had a union doctor,
And he had a union nurse;
He had a union coffin
And he had union hearse.
They put him in a union grave,
When he was good and dead;
They put union monument
Just above his head.
And then he went to heaven,
But to stay he didn't care;
He kicked because he said that some
Non-union men were there
He went down Co the other place,
And there produced his card;
Then Satan drew an earnest face
And studied good and hard.
And then he laughed, his hands did rub
Till he thought he'd never stop;

Evaporation Laws
OF The Great Lakes
Being Worked Out

Chicago, Oct. AFTER working
for eleven years-most Of the time. on
a problem that seemed practically
hopeless-Prof. John F.. Hayford, di-
rector, Of the school of engineering of
Northwestern university. has virtually
discovered the laws controlling the
evaporation Of the Great Lakes.
Eleven years ago in Washington a
number of scientists connected with
the Carnegie institution, asked Direc-
tor Hayford if this problem were
capable OF solution. He replied that
there was one chance in ten.
"III tackle it on that basis" he
said, !"if you will help me-
Unexpectedly the Carnegie institu-
ton. folks agreed n told him to 60
ahead; they would finance the re-
search and ever since>then Director

report but before leaving Chicago de-
changed-thae he had gone far
enough to know that 10Y it is nine
chances to one that he and his aides
will reach the solution.
Upon his success, there depends.

ton Of regulation Of lake levels and
the attendant ones of developing wa

Evaporation Problem.
THE first step was to discover up
on what conditions the evaporation
problem and it's solution rested" he
said. lit. tool us a decade but we
now know that this condition can be
explained to the layn1an as one in
volving the slopes Of the lake surface
caused by the wind and upon the va
rious barometric changes. Once we
reached that point we knew we were
we'll on our way and I think that in
another year. if the Carnegie institu-
ton at Washington, agrees. we shall
have reached the goal. When we
reach that goal it will mean that one
of the most serious problems which
engineers met when they were build
ing the Panama canal will be simpli-
feel and understood; that engineers
can then estimate the flow Of streams
accurately by being able to compute
the amoun of evaporation.
Indeed. the whole Great Lakes
problem, including water power at
Niagara and the amount OF water
that can be used by the city of Chi
cago in its drainage canal will be
comparatively easy of solution. 1t
might follow, should our work prove
as successful az we. nov expect. that
the lake levels canebe actually regu-
lated and that, for instance, Chicago
will be authorized to use much more
water in It's drainage system than it
now does. How important Ibis will be
