ter General VIII Hays has rival
in his work of ''humanizingp a
great government department.
And his rival, William B. Hamil-
ton, Collector of Customs; a branch
of the Treasury Department, goes
la step farther than even the in
trepid Hays.
1t contemplates patching UP trou-
Bile between hubby and wife.
Here is Collector Hamiltons rule
Of procedure:
IF married man or married
woman is not doing efficient work,
look for trouble at home. Then
lend a hand and help patch UP the
trouble. Tho result wiz be an in
crease Of both happiness and eff
cheney"
Hamilton announced his new rule
to the 400 married men and women
in the customs service following an
hours conference in his private Of
flee with married man of his
|staff, the mans wife, doctor and
a minister OF the gospel.
Following the interview the mar
ried man went whistling happily
back to his work, his wife went
smiling homeland Hamilton stated
that he believes the United States
will profit by what he did.
Accounting for the doctor. Hamil-
ton said he had him on hand to OBJ
serve pathological symptoms The
minister of the gospel he invited in
as peacemal1er.
Following the new experiment
Hamilton refused to make public any
names of those present. 1T would
be cruel" he insisted Besides,
it would undo all the good / have
DONE" he declared
But that he has faith in his new
theory Hamilton later made clear
when he assembled all OF his big
staff and told them what he in
tends to do every time he observes
a married man or a married woman
doing inefficient work. He said:
you've all got it in you to do
good work. Your records show that.
But you can't do good work if
you're blue and IT, after discord
at home, you come into tho office
with the idea that the whole world
is against you.
Maybe your differences at home
are such as you cannot settle with
out outside help. II they ere, come
to me. ] will. lend you a helping
hand. BY doing so l vii not feel
l am interfering with your private
affairs-for by helping you I will
be helping the government.
''Uncle Sam VIII get more results
from happy man than from an.
unhappy one. A married man cam
not reach fun efficiency in his work.
il he comes to the office fresh from
a fight with his wife, and mar
ried woman-women being more
temperamental than men-isn't any
good all day long il she quarreled
with her husband at breakfast"
In his address Hamilton paid a
glowing tribute to his own wife, to
whom, he declared, he owes as much
as to himself for what he has ac-
complished during his many years
of happy married life.

INJUNCTION SOUGHT
IN PACKERS STRIKE

Chicago, Dec. S.--Legal proceed
fings to restrain the striking packing
house workers from interfering with
the operation of packing plants by
picketing or molesting employees the
pending, or in effect, in five cities
/ in the Middle West today.
AS the third day of the strike
came to close yesterday quiet pre-
vailed at most packing house cen
ters, but in Chicago the first serious
disorder in connection with the
strike occurred last night when sew
eral persons were shot and slugged
in clashes between strike. Sympa
thizers, stockyard workers and po-
lice patrolling the stockyards.
Seven men were shot and a score
of men and one woman were in
jured i'll the clashes. The trouble
started when strike sympathizers
aecosted the workmen as they left
the packing plants. Missiles were
thrown and policemen used their
clubs and guns to disperse the
crowds. Police reserves were called
out before the trouble ended.
Injuries Not Serious.
Three of those shot We're report
ed to be union workmen, two were
strike sympathizers, another was
employed in a packing plant and
the seventh was said to be a strike
sympathizer and a member of anoth-
policemen were among those in
jured. The woman who was hurt
was struck with a brick.
Officials of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workers
of North America, which called the
strike after a wage decrease aver
aging 10 per cent had been put in
effect, last night agreed with spokes-
men for the "big five" packers
that there was little change in the
situation.
Union officials said that workers
in allied crafts in the packing plants
had walked out, while the packers
said that new workmen were being
employed, that strikers were asking
to be reinstated and that plants
here were operating from 50 to 100
per cent normal.
Other Plants Hit Harder.
1t was admitted by the packers
that their plants in other cities
were harder hit and several indie
pendent plants here were almost at
standstill.
The independent plants and Swift
yesterday requested an injunction
restraining the Workmen's union
and it's officers from interfering
with the operation of % plants,
through picketing. At South ST.
Paul 500 National Guardsmen pa
trolled the packing plants yester-
day, after the unions refused to dis
continue picketing.
AT Fort Worth an injunction re-
straining picketing of the packing
plants was granted yesterday, while
at Omaha the city attorney said
that the anti-picketing law passed
by the last Nebraska legislature is
imperative.

Of the intent of that amendment
and an iniquitous assault upon the
liberties of the people, which is
immoral in result.
THE amendment itself is a usur-
patton of political power by the
federal government Under the
guise OF the power to amend the
Constitution it takes from the states
the power expressly reserved to
them seyerally by the Constitution.
1t destroys the right of local self
government, so dear and so neces-
sary to free people, and concen-
trates it in the federal government.
If this is to be precedent states will
be mere districts TO be governed
by Congress, as it now legislates for
the District of Columbia.
"The little power-the right of
concurrent enforcement - reserved

was destroyed by the Volstead act
as interpreted by the. supreme court.
The amendment and the act are
together immoral in their operative
results. The method is a mistaken
one. No reform in morals over
has been or ever will be accom-
phshed through legislation.
Such sumptuary laws belong to
the period of despotism. Such leg
islation creates disregard of law
and a contempt for authority.
These laws are expensiyely inef-
ficient. The government spends
millions of dollars of our money to
maintain spies upon our homes and
business places, who assist the pros
porous trade of Illicit distilling and
bootlegging.
THE members of our organiza-
ton, therefore, oppose these so-call-
ed laws because they destroy the
right of local self-goyernment; be-
cause they must be and are inef-
fectual for good and are therefore,
immoral and because they add use
lessly to the already heavy burdens
of taxation

America Because of Shah

New York Dec. s.. Although
keenly hurt by the cold shoulder
which he said the medical profes-
sion OF this country had turned
toward him, DR.. Adolph Lorenz, IA
nous Austrian, said last night that
he probably will carry on his free
clinics for cripples here. He had
announced earlier in the day that
he would return to Vienna.
.'I'l stay, if they don't throw
me out" he said last night.
Or. Lorenz attributed the feeling
against him to animosities bred by
the war and said it was general
within the medical profession of
the United States. Tn people, as a
whole, though, have been wonder
full beyond description in their re-
ception OF his work, he said.

or stay and do what / can is entire

Of New York, he said last night.

When Health Commissioner Cope
land was told Of this, he said he
would see to it today that Dr.. Lo-
REM remained. He said he would
call group of orthopedic surgeons
and make plans for the Austrian's
activities that would shield him
from exploitation and insure warm
and proper cooperation.
He has brought to the surface
thousands of cripples and other
sufferers in New York, hundreds of
whom can be helped by treatment, y
said DR.. Copeland 1T has been a
magnificent work, but DIR. Lorenz

not happen again.

Adventurous eossio Attempted ia
Make her Way Into Vaudeville

life of giving milk and butter for the
hungry mouths Of some family, and
bored with the pastoral quiet of the
Tarm. determined the other night to
have taste of the gay life Of the big
city at least once before she crossed
the River StyH. Accordingly she
sought out the brightest lights Of the
city, a vaudeville house.
But first her bovine majesty saun-
tered gayly up Elm street from La
mar. gazing In the show windows as
she roved. While In this vicinity she
even attempted to enter a street car
Then. pursuing her primrose course. she
plodded on toward the center Of the
city until she was confronted with the
gray, yellow lights Frightening the
front Of vaudeville show. Not con-
sidering whether she would be a well
come guest, Bossle walked into the
lobby OF the show. thereby nearly
causing the head usher to be smitten
with Mysteries. Ee finally recovered,
ana, taking courage and stick, he
rushed at Bessie. Feeling that she
was not wanted there, Bossie walked
out again.
AT the door she was met by a re-
ceptton committee consisting Of two
policemen who had been summoned
and without ceremony she was roped
and led away to the city pound, where
she broodcd over the sights Of the big
city as she had seen them.-Dallas

SURVEY WORLD BY WIRELESS
the Boundary Between South and
West Australia.

1t Is proposed to utilize wireless
telegraphy In determining the exact
position Of the boundary between
South and West Australia. The bound
ary Is fixed by act Of parliament as
the 120th degree Of longitude east
Of Greenwich. The exact position Of
the longitude will be ascertained by
the use Of time signals from a high
power wireless station situated at
some point between Greenwich observa.
tory, in England, and Sydney, liz aug
tralla. the signals being received 81
multaneously at both stations.
Most Of the great observatories Of
the world are now collaborating In
redetermination of the longitudinal
division Of the earth's surface by
means Of wireless time signals, and
this Is one Of the earliest uses Of the
system to settle disputed position.
Given favorable static conditions, 1t
has been found that signals from the
Lyons wireless station, in France, can
be received In Australia us well as at
Greenwich, and signals from other sta
tions. more favorably situated. are also
being tested. The cooperation Of the
United States as we'll as the British
government has been invited. The
scheme Is the first step toward COM
prehensive determination Of the whole
longitudinal survey OF Australia.
