'White-Collar'
Mans S Pay Won't
Fall With Wages
Such Is Glad News Handed
Out to Delegates at Ma.
tional Employment
Board Meet.

Chicago, July 81. - Here's good
news for the white collar" worker.
The fellow who has been pegginG
along on $50 a week while his
brother i'll overalls was making wage
demands and getting what he asked
is going TO come into his own.
This glad news was handed out
here to delegates OF the fourth an
uual convention Of the National Em-
ployment board with representatives
from every state in the country.
while it is true said Miss Grace
r. Cook, chairman OF the legislative
committee, that the executive and
Office man is underpaid in compari-
son with unskiled labor. the en-
ployers are beginning to wake up to
the value of their trained help.
''For the last six years the en-
ployer has been at the mercy OF
organized labor. Wages were forced
up. The brain workers we're un-
organized. They were unable TO
exert pressure OF 10 take dQNdhtdSe
Of the golden hour. The laborer re-
ceivcd more for his lire in proper
ton than they did.
when the cut came the trained
executives were spared. The salaries
OF the white collar workers are go
ing to stay up, and the members OF
cffice forces as the cost OF living
recedes are going TO get more tor
their money. Their halcyon days
are on the way.
~ is unnecessary Tor the brain
workers to organize. BY SO doing
they would simply limit their op-
portunities and relesate themselves
to mediocracy. The competent would
kave to slow down to the pace OF
the incompetent and lose their op-
portunities.
The wages of organized labor are
cut and dried and standardized
Those of the executives and Office
men are limited only to their initia-
tive and ambition"

These convenient articles o. table

by a linen merchant of London

the word was derived from the Swiss

American Women
Victims of Coke
In Paris Cafes
Deadly Drug, Struggled From
Germany by French and
American Soldiers Sold
In Montmartre.
By NEWTON c. PARKE.

Paris, July 3l.--.A vcrltable secret
society of cocaine users, growing
daily in membership. is battling the
French police in their efforts to
stamp out the drug evil.
The secret organization has code
names for known purveyors Of the
drug and variety OF code names
for the drug itself. 1t is feared that
!. includes in its membership large
number OF police agents whose duty
is tc suppress the traffic, and also
Of customs officials who make it
easy to bring cocaine into the coun-
fry.
The increase in the number Of
coke users has become so great
that the French Academy Of Medi-
cine is calling for the enactment Of
drastic laws to curb the evil. The
academy is being supported by a
number of newspapers in its de-
mand that long terms of imprison-
ment be meted out TO cocaine sellers
and users instead OF fines, which
often do not excel SlQ.
Coke" Center.
One big cafe, stones throw from
the Paris opera, is one OF the big
gest ccnters OF cocaine traffic.
Most of the drug that reaches
Paris comes in from Germany. 1t
is alleged that French and Amer
icar soldiers from the armies OF oc-
cupation bring in the largest share.
They make 1.500 per cent on their

form. Their supplies are turned
over to a regular cocaine" syndicate.
whose agents gather in the big cafe

their shares OF coke to be pcdd1ed

American Tourists Victims.
The restaurants and dancing halls
Of Montmartre, filled nightly with
American tourists, are active centers
Of operations for coke" agents, and
so are the central markets of
"Halles," where restaurants opening

from Montmartre. There is scarcely

That considerable number OF
Americans coming to France in

they were previously drug victims
or because they wanted "the expert

majority of them arc women.

my eyes swept the table where all

ment. Her Characterization of Katie
is nothing novel to any of US. 1t is
term in daily use in my nother-irl-
laws vocabulary when Katie is
around. And yet, though my little
maid tries my mother-in-law's slen-

genuinely likes the girl-a liking
which Katie, l think, now returns,
though for years she feared and de-
tested the older woman.
