7 T WAS a midsummer day in Toxic
the first Of last August, 10 be pre-
n else. There was an unusual scene in
front Of a savings bank. A long queue
of people strung out from its doorway.
A bare-legged schoolboy Of about a
dozen years Of earthly sophistication came
out Of the bank. In his hand he held a
small black laequered box. IL was a
"bank" which the savings institution was
presenting TO its young depositors that
morning. reporter from one Of the
great Toxic dailies stepped up TO the boy.
"Oi; how much did you put in?" asked
the reporter, and with the question out
came also the usual weapons Of inquisi-
ton in the shape Of a pencil and note
book.
That did not scare the boy the least bit.
"This much," answered he, opening the
deposit book in front Of the reporter. The
entry read: Yen $50. The eyes of the re-
porter became round.
"All that for your spending money?
Did your mother give you all that for your
spending money!"
give yen-I saved that by a trip 20 a
swimming beach. And 80 yen-thats
what mother gave me for small spending"
The day was hot and sticSy--a typical
Toxic summer day.
"Well. but didn't you wish to 90 to the
beach?"
"Sure," said the boy simply.
(Which would you rather haye-a saw
ings account OF n swimming tripl"
"But mother told me to save" And that
settled the question for the boy.

ON THE LEVEL

The way to reach the man who tolls
Amid the dinsy workings;
Il not by strategems and spoils,
Or oily smiles and smirkings.
You give him model homes and such,
Or clubs in which to revel;
1t isn't coddling that he likes,
Or lordly condensation.
Such methods will not stop his strikes
Or Danish all contention, &
You must be fair and square and just,
A man among your brothers,
Before old doubtings turn to trust
Or ancient hatred smothers.
Whatever motive yours may be,
In time he's sure TO find it;
He looks through every deed to see
The spirit that's behind Il.
And though he may misundsrstand,
Rspel, ,at frst, and doubt you, &
He'll warmly grasp the profferedS hand
When he il sure about You.

does he believe in stopping work for
days and weeks on important jobs
while some detail of jurisdiction is
being considered.
His salary is more than that of Sam
uel Gompers, the president Of the
American Federation of Labor, whose
stipend is now $4,000 a year. 1t was
for long period $500, and before
that it had been advanced from $4,000
shortly before the European war. The
veteran leader accepted this amount
under protest, saying that it was more
than he needed to live .on, and that
the TACT it had been raised to stlarge
an amount might be used against Or
ganized labor.
So far nobody has used it very
much, for the consensus is that, con-
sldering the duties, Mr.. Gompers earns
that much and probably a great deal
more. For practically forty consecu-
tive times this veteran leader has been
chosen for high post in the organiza-
tion against all comers. Now nearing
the age Of three score and ten he is
still considered at the height Of his
powers as an executive.
Gompers' Long Hours.
Judged on the basis of the number
of hours he works day Mr.. Gompers
is the equivalent of several men. He
carries heavy burden ut the Offices
of the federation, which, by the way,
owns its building and has an elaborate
organization to maintain. AS the grand
supervisor of the federation he directs
its policies and also makes frequent
journeys throughout the country. AS
a speaker on public occasions he is
heard often in cities far from Wash
ington. He is also the editor of the
American Federationist, the official
organ of the federation, as we'll as a
frequent contributor to- magazines.
The salary of the organizer Of the
American Federation of Labor, who
makes his headquarters in New York
city, is understood to be $4,000 a year
and travelling expenses.
Warren r. Stone, the head Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
one Of the top men on the salary list
of American labor, gets $4,000 year
He is considered one of the ablest OF

LABOR LEADERS
IN FRONT RANK
OF EXECUTIVES
In General Ability and the Power
for Organization, They Are
Recognized as Having xFe.
Superiors in the World Of
Business.

Eighteen thousand dollars q year
life shows that some unions are pay
ing as big salaries to their executives
as do the large business interests.
Salaries of from $1,000 to $4,000 are
by no means infrequent, writes John
w. Harrington in the New York Sun.
The head of the Dockbuilders' union,
for instance, whose compensation is
Sl,5OO month, is the highest paid
labor representative in New York city
and probably in the country. At least
no leader Of the working classes has
come forth SO far to admit that he is
getting more, and search of the
archives Of the unions fails to reveal
anything like so huge an honorarium.
Although this appears to be the top
notch in the way of salaries the dock
builders in the district from Philadel-
pllia to Boston, including those of New
York city and neighborhood, believe
that they are getting the worth Of
their money, and insisted on his having
that amount, although like Caesar, he
several times declined the honor.
Headquarters Uplifted.
Once labor headquarters was a
dark and dingy place, reeking of stale
pipes and of staler beer fumes. Its
floors were caked with CRIME and its
walls were dirty and dingy. Now the
chief officer Of the dockbuilders has q
bright and airy Office and does busi-
ness In an atmosphere of good desks,
h'e cases and high power business ef-
ticiency. Clerks, stenographers and
cashiers are under his eye, and every.
where are all the devices which make
for attending to large affairs. If one
were suddenly translated to his pres.
ence one would think that he was
talking to the manager Of one of the
large corporations or q bank president
He works from 16 to 16 hours day
and says he often works 20. Any one
seeing him cheerfully violating the
clght-hoYr law may well realize that
he is worth a good deal of money to
ony interest to which he might devote
himself, for he transacts business like
lightning.
Nominaily, he is the representative
of the Dockbuilders' union, which is
connected with the Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners, a part of the
American Federation Of Labor, and
from that organization he, draws his
large salary, voted to him unanimously
over his veto. Those who compose
this well-established union were. get
ting $500 dry before the war, i. e
III 1913, and now they have $50, whicl
3 is a gain of slightly more than 100 pei
cent.
They are giving, therefore, less thar
one days work a year to the salary O
Il their representative. In return To-
tl.is he keeps things running smoothly

 TO RECOGNIZE BOXING

A petition from the Dartmouth undergraduate body for recognition of boxing as a minor sport and the entrance of the Green boxers into intercollegiate competition has been refused by the Dartmouth athletic council Within the last two years swimming, fencing, golf, wrestling and gymnastic teams have been placed on the Green sport list and the council was of the opinion that a further increase at this time was in advisable.
 The council issued the following statement in regard to it's action; "The council while recognizing the value of boxing in physical develop ment does not deem it feasible at the present time to add to the already large number of sports in which we engage in intercollegiate competi. tion."

Criticising the custom of rush ing football players onto the gridiron in the closing moments of play in the Harvard-Yale game as a means of qualifying them for the varsity letter, James F.

GREENLEAF- -TABERSKI
 MATCH IS UNCERTAIN

NEW YORK, Jan. 7-There is lit tie likelihood of Ralph Greenleaf world pocket billiard champion, aEI Frank Taberski, of Schenectady, who retired undefeated in 1919, meeting. A match between this pair would equal if not surpass in interest the coming contest between Willie Hoope md Jake Schaefer for the 18.2 title.
 Most fans feel sure that after his touble victory in Chicago over Hoppe foung Jake is his master and can easily defeat him again. but there is a wide divergence of opinion as to whether Greenleaf or Taberski is the greater player, and the fans have been expecting to hear that they had agreed to clash, but according to word received from Taberski, there is no chance of it, as the retired cham pion names such impossible condi- tions for the match that it makes it practically improbable their com ing together.
 Taberski insists that if he meets Greenleaf the title will be at stake The Brunswick-Balke-Co -Collendar peo- pie would not permit of that, as Greenleaf won the title in an open competition recently, as he has done for the past two years Taberski had chance to enter, but declined, so the company figures that Greenleaf is entitled to be a champion until next years open tourney.
