The fountain-head of the open-shop
movement in Ohio is the American
Plan Association, with headquarters
in Cleveland 1t opened in Ohio about
a year ago.
The object of the organization is
to advise with corporations and help
them in their fights for the open shop.
Activity of Ohio corporations dur
ing the past year in pushing the open
shop is shown by the fact that they
have had open-shop fights with or
ganized employees in Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, Toledo, Dayton, Youngstown,
Alliance, Massillon, Elyria, Ports
mouth, Springfield, Marion and Nell
sonville.
Some Powerful Aids
Financial depression and wide
spread unemployment have been pow
erful aids to the corporations in their
open-shop campaigns. In many places
they have been able, finally, to deal
with hungry men and to dictate their
own terms. This has forced thou
sands of workmen to go back to work
under open-shop conditions without,
however, surrendering their faith in
collective bargaining principles.

placed the blame of the strike on the
employers, because of their refusal to
arbitrate. The companies are less in
terested in wages, however, than they
are in the anti-union shop, and were
confidnt that they could smash the five
organizations of teamsters, whose
solidarity has surprised them.
The public is assured by the bosses
that if they can establish the anti
union shop cheaper milk will result.
The public, however, refuses to ac-
cept this line of reasoning, and has
in mind the arbitration refusal and
sworn affidavits that the profit on
milk is now 6 cents a quart instead
of IL cent, as claimed by the en-
ployers.

gOon and its neighboring islets are mine of interest to the naturalist or sportsman, and the people have a sin- pie charm that is all their own.
 Many years ago one John Masters leased Palmerston island from the British government, and, not believing in half-measures, took unto himself three native wives. By each he had a large and healthy family, which he reared in strict accordance with his own standards of social usage. That they were sound standards is evil denced in the people of PalmerstDn today. They read, write and speak English; this last with an accent vaguely reminiscent of the southwest of England. They are courteous, hos pitable and honest to degree noth- ing short of startling, these days, and, although naturally inbred, they do not show 1t, either mentally or phys ically.
 One thing alone troubles the John Masters of today. To whom do he and his island belong? The war has changed all things. The Cook group. of which Palmerston has been de. clared 4 far-fiung unit, is administered by New Zealand. Is Masters to be taxed, governed and generally har- ried by c people who hardly existed when his father took over Palmerstoni It looks like it.

According to information from Sofia. Bulgaria has passed a law by which labor is obligatory. both for men and women. This later can be utilized in many ways. including the construction of roads. railways, canals, aqueducts, improvement of rivers and streams, installation of telephone and tele- graph lines. preparation of various building materials, the planting and exploitation Of forests. work in the various domains of the state. district or communes, cultivation of kitchen gardens. rsisiog of silk worms and of bees and cattle, fisheries, work in mines and factories. conservation of fosd products, weaving. etc. The de- mobilization of the Bulgarian army by virtue of the recent treaty has lrsn- dered this law necessary.

Cadets Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets of Victoria, E. C., have recently com pleted l,40O-mile ride on bicycles. bearing dispatches from the state com mandant to the minister for defense. The small riders averaged more than IA miles an hour. and they completed their task 6 hours and 23 minutes ahead Of schedule. This fine perform ance reused public interest in the new system of cadet training, which has taken the place of the monotonous drili-yard revolutions. Australia is training its youngest soldiers in ca,naraderie. self-sacrifice. alertness and love of athletics. The story of the ,4O0-mile ride against uneX- pected obstacles has set standard which will not be easily forgotten by the Australian boy. While the dis patch ride has done much to direct attention to happier system of train ing, 1t has also served to awaken the interest of fathers and elder brothers.

More than 300 kiddies were
made happy and to believe more

Claus" Monday afternoon. A pro-
gram of entertainment was pre-
pared by the Elks Of st. Johns
bury. and with the generous CO.
operation of Manager Fred c.
ellison of the Please U Theatre
the affair was a great success.
In the afternoon the children
packed the moving picture house,
whore they saw on the finest mo-
ton picture plays Of the year. No
more opportune picture could
have been selected for the time OF
Chri- tmas than "The Old Nest
which emphasized the regard ana
love We should all have for our
mothers.
There was little plot in the pic

mother and an upright father,
with all their attendant cares and

rearing of large family are 50
faithfully portrayed that the ef-

are tensely dramatic situations. IL
is a picture that compares more
than favorably with "Humor-

because it portrays the life with
which New England folk are very
