<|CAN'T-STRIKE" LAW
 IS OPPOSED BY N. Y. GOVERNOR

Albany, N. Y., March Io.-Labor's vigorous protests against handcuf legislation have been heard in the eX- ecutive offices and Governor Miller now denounces the "can't-strike'' plans that are being considered by the state legislature. In a public state ment the governor says:
 "One of the fundamental objections to the bills, as the matter appears to me, IS that they undertake to set up a judicial machinery to adjudicate on questions which I do not think are subjects of adjudication; for example, the question of wages. That is a mat ter of contract. It can't properly be made the matter of judicial deter imitation according to any settled or known principles of law.
 T doubt very much that the state can undertake, for example, to com pei people to work for less wages than they are willing to work for, and I do not think that a judicial tribunal can adjudicate the kind of questions which must necessarily be left to con- tract.
 What the state can properly do, it seems to me, in the way of helping in the settlement of industrial disputes, is along the line of endeavoring to secure fair dealing to prevent abuses to, as far as it can, set up machinery for mediation and arbitration, and

TIMBER GOING FAST.


 Atlantic City, N. J., Mar. 10, - The conservation of forest lands IS the most serious economic problem with which this country has to deal, said Clifford Pinchot, commissioner for forestry of Pennsylvania.
 Unless some drastic measure looking to the curtailment of the devastation of privately owned forest lands is taken, the timber land of the whole United States will have become xhausted with in g years. How serious Is the situa- tion in this country can best be judged by the fact that fve-sixths of the virgin forests have been obliterated. Unfor- tunately, four -ffths of the remaining acreage is in the hands of privately owned landlords, who must be curtailed by proper laws from devastating their lands"

WOMAN LEAVES MOP
 TO MAKE HER PLEA

It IS not easy to resist the plea of a hard-working woman who has scrubbed floors for 27 years that she and her compan- ions in toll be given an annual tWo-weeks' vacation without be- ing beggared. It is still harder to resist this just plea when the petitioner makes 1t with her sleeves rolled up above elbows and evidence of her toiI adher- ing to her hands.
 But hard-boiled committee of the Massachusetts assembly did it. Under it's "plan of pro cedure" the petition was taken under advisement, which means that the committee is going to think about it for awhile and then perhaps forget it.
 Mrs Mary Sullivan left her mops and went before the com mittee to argue for the two weeks vacation for those who scrub floors Here is what she told the committee:
 "I have been scrubbing floors in the State House for the past 27 years, gentlemen, and 1 ask you to give us women the same consideration given other public workers. l,

but 1t is a pleasure for me to have my meals with you"
 "It is a pleasure for me, too," said Mrs. Hippo with a polite bow.
 q have understood that I have pug zled people because when my mouth is open | show my tusks, and when my mouth Is closed no one can see them,'' said Mir. Hippo
 "Ah, yes, you have puzzled many" said Mrs. Hippo
 "I do not see why should" said MT. Hippo. "I am not puzzled be- cause do not see peoples tongues when their mouths are closed and yet catch sight of their tongues when their mouths are open.
 q do not see why they are sur prised."
 "It is because you look quite gentle when you don't show your tusks, but when you open your mouth and show your tusks you look so suddenly dan gerous," explained Mrs. Hippo. :.
 Well" said MT. Hippo, "I can be dangerous if people are not nice to me. That is true enough"
 SupEpVSGs SoAo AApPos SAAS%S every one knows that a pygmy hippo is a smaIl-sized hippo. But we're a regular kind of animal By that mean that we're not simply small-sized hippopotami but that we're a regular family of animals, only people can know US by seeing that we look like big hippopotami and yet are ever so much smaller.
 Some children once thought we looked like chocolate bars made up into animals That was a funny thought, but there was sense to it, too. We are chocolate colored."
 'Ah," said MT. Hippo, 1T am very happy in the zoo. I like the life here. I enjoy the food I have to eat. I am pleased with your companionship and I find no fault with life"
 ''I feel the same way about life and the zoo and my food and you," said Mrs. Hippo.
 ''I don't believe in creatures mak- ing a fuss all the time. don't make a fuss. I am pleasant, and believe that because I enjoy myself so much I don't get sick.
 Il never get SICK. l uOnt ever want to get sick"
 "The same with me-" said MT. Hip- DO. q believe your words are true and sensible ones, my dear mate. How nice 1t is that we should agree so beautifully and that we should mate" '"
 "Well, suppose" said Mrs. Hippo, with a quaint smile, that if we hadn't been so friendly and enjoyed the same things as we did, we would never have been mates in the first place."
 "Thats the thing" said MT. Hip DO. You've hit the nail on the head, which means you've struck the right answer in the right way right on time without any delay or founder ing around!"

TEXTILE MILL MADE
 LARGEST PROFIT IN YEAR OF LOWEST PAY
Southern Spinners Taking Vast Wealth Out of Sweat of
 Toilers

Stories told by manufacturers cam paigning for new capital are not the hard-luck tales they tell when attempt ing to justify reductions of workers wages below a living basis.
 A stock-selling circular of the Roa- noke Mills Co. of Roanoke Rapids, N. C., gives an ~inkling of what has been going on in the textile industry while it was pushing down wages to the 1913 level.
 Its earnings for the past l2 months are said to have been about 5000 OOO, or 25 per cent on all stock outstanding. They were $60,000 higher than the pre- ceding hve-year average, covering the profteering of the war, when profits were nine times dividend requirements The 1920 profit was $3O3, greater than the average for the preceding 10 years.
 While the mill was piling up con- mainly women and children, were sus- taining several cuts in pay. They were being worked long hours The southern textile manufacturer IS the bitterest op- ponent of laws regulating child labor and the working conditions of women. He has succeeded in defeating two ef- forts of Congress to limit child labor He also is hard fighter of labor unions.
 According to the National Industrial Conference Board, the average pay to textile workers in September, 1913, was S9.ol. It increased until it reached $2O.70 in December, 1920 That was the peak of high" wages. Since then a number of reductions have been made.

When person wishes to speak of a number of little people the person says children but when only one is spoken of the person says child" said Mrs. Pygmy Hippopotamus.
 ''But when any one wishes to speak of two of us they say 'Hippopotami,' which means more than one hippopot- anus.

 'T think so," said MT. Pygmy Hip popotamus, ''but let us call each other Hippo for short"
 "A good idea." said Mrs. Hippo.
 There is your brother In wonder tank home" she continued. SHe likes his lonely ways and is happy all by himself. Now, I would not be happy like that. I am sociable."
 "So am l." said Mr. Hippo, ''and l wouldn't be in the least happy living by myself.
 'I want companionship. I want some one to talk to, and to eat my meals with. Lonely meals could not endure"
 But meals with me you like very wel," said Mrs. Hippo with grin.
 'I know why you are grinning," said MT. Hippo, "and that is because you think like my meals so we'll"
 "Do I merely think that?' asked Mrs. Hippo. "Or am I correct? Is it not true that you like your meal? ?'
 Quite true,' said MT. Hippo, quite true. I like my meals immensely,

EQUALITY" PLAN WOULD AID BOSSES
 AGAINST WOMEN

Washington, March 1o.-The A. F. of L. executive council has approved the declaration made by President Gompers in opposition to the so-call- ed blanket amendment to the federal constitution, proposed by the national women's party, which would nullify all laws that do not apply with equal force to both sexes.
 'Lawyers who say the courts would not sustain attacks on women's pro- tecting laws may to some extent know the courts, but they do not know employers. I think 1 know something about courts, and 1 do know the tactics of employers" said President Gompers.
 of such a blanket amendment, placing women on an absolute equal ity with men, we're to be adopted, and ratified the employers of the country would not attack the various state laws in the courts. They would pro- ceed at once to operate under the amendment That is where lawyers misjudge the employers. Employers remain in their shops and factories, put strict equality of hours and work ing conditions into effect and then, if the workers were able they might go into court to try to compel the em- ployers to restore the safeguards of the state laws protecting women.
 Eventually, after many years, these cases would get to the supreme rourt, if the workers were able to go that far, but meanwhile the benefc- tent, hard-won laws would be de- stroyed under the blanket, strictly equality amendment proposed by the national. women's party"

The Story of Our States

 EMS@ lEl Virginia was
 HkESEN.I originally a
 NNSEEJ portion of
 N[| Virginia, the SsMss> Old Dominion
 Colony. While its history is nat urally yoked up with that of the
 Mother State, there are many points in which the two sections of Virginia were divergent and it was for this reason that West Virginia finally became a sepa-
 rate state. The first white man who prob ably penetrated the wilderness
  Laderer, German surgeon, who went on tour of exploration in 1869. In the same year, La Salle sailed up the Ohio and landed at several points in the present state. There was little coloniza- tion until 1732, when Scotch and Irish adventurers began to fill Western Virginia. They were encouraged but little, and, in fact, the King in 17S3 declared that this part of the colony was Indian country and could not rightfully be settled. Coloniza- tion continued, however, and bit ter warfare was waged against the Indians and the French who had come down from the North. In 1774 the battle of Pt. Pleasant was fought, which was one of the bloodiest of Indian conflicts. The backwoodsmen who set tied in the Western part of Vir-5 ginta were entirely different types of men from the wealthy slave owners along the coast. Jealousies between the two sec tions arose and the Western countries felt great dissatisfac- tion at the way Virginia was governing them. The most marked point of disagreement was over the slavery question, and 1t was because of this that, when Virginia seeded from the Union in 1861, West Virginia took matters in it's own hands. Delegates met at Wheeling, drew up a separate constitution, and declared their independence. Their application for admission into the Union was accepted by Lincoln, and in 1863 West Vir- ginia became the thirty-fifth state.
 It is often called the "Pan- handle State" on account of it's shape. Its area is PATIO square ,. miles, and it has eight presiden- F tial electors.
