The following Is a health talk given
by the famous Mrs. Gene Case during a
recent demonstration in Washington ID.
c. Thousands of women call her the
Miracle Woman"
To-day I want to talk TO those girls
and women who are WORKOUT. distracted,
upset and unstrung. They are not sick
just wornout. They don't need more
weight or richer blood or ordinary medi-
clnes. What they need Is something to
brace them up-that's all. They have
overdone and feel the affects Of It. They
feel sluggish: lack energy and gtrlish
vigor. They feel old-just old and worn
out. Broadway isn't the only place
women and men lead the pace that kills.
They don't need a doctor. A vacation
or long rest from their daily grind and
worries is best-but a lot Of US can't
get away or afford such luxury these
hard times or rush times.
You want to sleep sounder and wake
up feeling fresh. vigorous and youthful.

THE BRITISH LABOR VICTORY

Emerging from the British general
elections with 141 successful candi-
dates, the British Labor Party has be-
come the second strongest party in
Parliament and the principal opposi-
tion party. While labor has been d
great factor on the European conti-
nent, the success of British labor
marks the beginning of new era in
the political history of labor in the
English-speaking world.
The Labor Party enters the House
with by far the largest number of
members in the party's history. The
opponents of Labor claim that the lat
ter's successes were due to the split
in the vote, the situation being sup
posedly comparable with that created
by the Theodore Roosevelt candidacy
in the United States in 1912. On the
other hand, the Labor leaders assert
that Labor is coming into its own as
the result of it's policies IF working
for the poverty-stricken population
and for the peace of the world.
Much of labor's success at the polls
is attributable to Sidney Webb, whose
guiding genius has shaped labor's
development of organized political
strength in the past thirty wears.
One of the features of the elections is
the success of all the candidates of
the miners, so that it is forgone con-
clusion that Parliament vii, have to
reconsider the question of the nation
alization of the mines.
British labor's victory at the polls
is of more than passing interest to
American labor. Trades unionism in
America is modelled largely after the
British rather than after tha Con-
tinentai type. Besides, England and
the United States have practically the
same legal system and have certain
social and economic institutions in
common. American labor has drawn
no little inspiration from British la
Dor, aud the latest political develop
ments in England will not fail to have
an effect in the shaping of the future
polite policy of labor here in the
United States.-Buffalo Labor Journal

HYPOCRITES

A long while ago we heard man
in a debate with minister of the
gospel make the startling assertion
that Almighty God made all classes
of people, even to that class which
preached for money and not to save
souls" Last week we read of raid
in California where the son of So
called great evangelist was arrested,
in company with two other men and
three young women, all of whom were
found in a hilarious state of intoxica-
ton and wearing the proverDial smile
when arrested. Of course you become
accustomed to Hollywood and its es-
capades, but the unusual in this IS
that Young Billy Sunday is not
movie actor; the nearest approach to
the histronic being his illustrious
father who calls upon the world to hit
the saw-dust trail while he fails the
air with his arms and sings a line
of slang that is the envy of the tough
est fapper that ever tapped on
B'way.
And just a few days after young
Billy had been caught in this COM
promising situation, old Billy deliv-
cred an address in which he verify
ripped the hides off the whole list of
labor leaders. Billy wasn't particular
about mentioning any names. Billy
knows, way down in his hidden heart,
that there are labor leaders who talk
with their God under far more aus
picious circumstances than Billy Will
ever be able to attain. Billv knows
that while he is preaching for big
wages and more notOriety, and as he
would have us to believe, to save
souls, these labor leaders are gong
about trying to build up bodies to that
plane where it will be possible for the
bodies to retain their souls and be
ready to meet their Maker without
shame. And the labor leaders are just
ordinary men who have been selected
by their fellow-worekrs who have
learned to know them for what they
are and who place implicit confidence
in them. Billy is just a big vaude-
william who knows how to do the spec
tacular and get away with it. He has
commercialized Christianity and ac-
cumulated a neat little fortune While
he did it. Billy doesn't honestly care
any more about saving your soul to
God than we care about visiting
hornets nest a second time. Billy
is out after money and the fact that
he can get job with big business al
most any time, any place and any
where, is indicative of the fact that
Billy wants to play only with the big
monied interests and don't care a
hang about the men who labor.
We have seen quite few evan
gelists who berated labor in our day.
We have seen just ordinary mortals
set themselves up as Christian leaders.
And we have never yet heard a labor
leader get up and denounce any of
them. We hope Billy will regret his
words and retract some part of them
for it doesn't seem just right to have
to apologize for your own son at the
same time you are condemnlng
others.-Grand Rapids Observer.

GENERAL LABOR NEWS

The threatened strike Of gas work
ers in Paris, France, has apparently
been averted. The trouble arose
through the deduction from employees
wages Of sufficient money to meet their
income tax, In accordance with the
law.
A total Of 3,267 workers were placed
in positions by the state employment
offices In nine Ohio cities during the
week ending October 21. The total
registration of applicants for positions
was 5.999. Help wanted totaled Abs,
and 1853 Of the applicants were re-
ferred to these positions.
Lloyd's register of British shipbuild-
ing returns for the quarter ended in
September, 1922, shows that merchant
tonnage under construction in the
United Kingdom on September 80
amounted to 1,617,O45 tons. This rep
resents reduction Of about 100000
tons, as compared with the total at the
end of the previous quarter.
Miners have been returning to work
in daily increasing numbers through
cut the Upper Potomac and the
Georges Creek region, 1t was stated
by operators. 1t Is estimated that g.
900 are employed in the former field
and 1000 in the latter. The greater
number Of mines are working on the
nonunion basis. Operators Of the Up
per Potomac region say that the pro-
duction from that field would be near
ly normal If sufficient empty cars were
available.
Working agreements for one year
have been negotiated between steam
ship employers and the longshoremen
at the principal ports of the country,
]. G. Jenkins, director of industrial re-
lations of the shipping board an
nounced. "While the longshoremen in
each port asked for an increase in
wages above the existing base hourly
rate of 65 cents, agreements were
finally signed on the basis Of the old
wage with no material changes iu
working conditions" Mr.. Jenkins said.
In 1914 there were. 1885 establish
ments In the United States engaged
In the manufacture Of shoes.
With the opening Of the spring navi-
CATION season, the seamen's strike on
lake boats operated under jurisdiction
of the Lake Carriers association will
be carried on with renewed vigOr, K.
B. Nolan, secretary of the seamen's
union, announced. The lake seamen
struck October i for an eight-hOur
work day. The union officials charge
that vessel owners are violating fed
eral laws as to the number of able sea-
men they should carry.

BONUS SYSTEM
FOR WORKERS
Plan Devised by New England
Concern to Stimulate Con.
tinuous Service.
SCHEME HAS NEW FEATURES
Specified Percentage OF Earnings
Awarded for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Many OF the Earmarks OF the
"open Shop" Idea.

One plan which Is Increasingly De-
ing used to stimulate continuous serV-
ice of industrial employees, Is the pay
ment of a percentage bonus. Since
July a plan of paying an anniversary
premium to employees whose service
has been faithful and continuous, mas
been in operation In the plant OF
large New England manufacturing
concern. says the National lndustrla'
Conference board.
1.-THE plan as formulated by the In
dustrial council of the plant, the
board says, "gives to each employee
after two years service in recognition
of punctual and regular attendance
loyal performance Of duty, and con-
tinuity of service, q check covering a
specified percentage of his aggregate
earnings for the preceding year; the
period being reckoned for each In
dividual from the date OF his entering
the company's service. These percent
ages are as follows:
"On the second and third annlver'
saries, three per cent Of earnings OF
previous years on the fourth annlver-
sary, four per cent; on the nftn' nve
per cent on the sixth, six per cent {;
on the seventh, seven per cent; on
the eighth, eight per cent; on the
ninth, nine per cent; and on the tenth,
and each succeeding anniversary, ten
per cent. Officers or employees VINO
receive more than $1,000 per year are
ineligible, as are employees who re-
ceive special compensation In addi-
ton to their regular salary or wages,
as statesmen working on commission
basis. :
absence of 80 days or less because
Of sickness, leave Of absence, or sus-
pension of operations from any cause
Is not counted as an interruption OF
continuous service, nor will absence
because of war service affect the con-
tinuity Of a service record, provided
the individual re-enters the employ OF
the company Immediately upon dis
charge from such war service.
Absence without leave, aggregating
six full working days In an anniver-
sary year, or tardiress without reason
able excuse duly recorded more than
"a times in an anniversary year, con-
stitutes a rupture Of continuous serv'
ice and bars the employee from par
ticipation in the anniversary premium
plan. Employees who resign or are
dismissed during any anniversary year
are not eligible for any premium for
the elapsed portion of such year."

NEWBERRY DROPS OUT

The resignation Of Truman h. New
berry anticipated by only few hours
an attempt to reopen his case in the
Senate, looking toward his almost GER
tain expulsion during the present ses-
sion.
Senator Caraway, Democrat Ar
kansas), and La Toilette, Republican
(Wisconsin), had nreDared resolutions
providing that the case be reopened
and would have presented them at the
start of the present session, on Mon
day, November 20, the day on whlch
Newberry's resignation was an
nounced.
While Newberrv's retirement closes
the case so far as he himself Is CON
cerned, the Newberry issue is certain
to remain an issue while members OF
the Senate who voted to give HIM ms
seat remain in public life.
This was made plain In statements
given out by Democrats and Repub-
lican insurgents" who have served
notice that the Newberrv issue Will
be raised in 1924 and later just as it
was raised in this years primaries
and elections. Nine of those who
voted to seat Newberry are now at
tending their last session and will re-
tire to private life March a, 1923.
Newberry leaves vacant three I'M
portant committee assignments in the
Senate. He was high favorite with
the Old Guard, and after he had won
his seat, at an admitted expenditure
of $195,000, he was assigned to places
on the committees on appropriations,
banking and currency, and naval
affairs.
Col. Smith Brookhart, who made his
campaign in Iowa on the pledge that
he would vote to reopen the Newberry
case, will be urged by Progressives as
a successor to Newberry on the COM
mittee on banking and currency.
Transportation and credit were the
two issues most prominently put for
ward by Col. Brookhart in both his
primary and election campaigns.

AN ALLEGED SHORTAGE

Certain sections of Big Business are
beginning a campaign for the aban-
donment of immigration restrictions,
alleging threatened shortage OF COM
mon labor The Inconsistency of this
with high tariff legislation to keep
out the product of European labor is
so apparent that a mere allusion
should be sufficient. 1t is the paradox
of economics that Big Business claims
to champion the American wage
Garner by excluding the product of
foreign factories, while bringing into
direct competition here the foreign
labor itself. 1t is equally paradoxical
to expect to maintain an American
wage level, with the foreign market
closed or partially closed in retaliation
But the plan is neither paradoxical
nor inconsistent, when the motive is
realized. Big Business seeks cheap
labor, not only to gain larger profits,
but to hold the threat of unempfoy-
ment over American workmen. Moth
ing so subdues a worker as an army
of job-hunters hungry Tor his place.
So, the emergency Congress is to be
called upon to open wide the gates,
not to actual immigrants to make
homes and become citizens, but to
hordes of every class who cross the
ocean only to gather together what
seems TO them a fortune. with which
some day to return 10 the homeland
and life of ease they could never
wrcst from home employment.
They will endure privations here
fo!' tine to amass the mean, of en-
joying the future. MANY will be dis
appointed, for the lure is false one;
many will become, if not already, re-
cruts to the ranks of the 'awless;
many viii return despondent; while
our own labor will be degraded. Fut
if Zig Business wins, the transatlantic
liners will be crowded. and .scrupu-
lous immigration agents will teop a
large harvest.
The process is simple, Tut sule, as
experience of the past teaches.

ANOTHER BEACON LIGHT

The Leader extends fraternal
hand of greeting to the Coshocton La
Dor News, the recent champion OF La
boris cause just launched upon the
journalistic sea by the Coshocton
Central Trades and Labor Council,
and wishes it long, useful and sue
cessful voyage.
1t is bright, newsy and we'll gotten
up. and is conducted under the able
management of Russell Shaeffer, as
sisted by committee chosen from
among the members of some of Co
shocton's live and progressive Labor
Unions, and the large number of tasty
and attractive advertisements from
the live business men and merchants
of Coshocton proves that it has the
approval of the public it deserves and
so justly merits. If organized Labor
gives it's united support the success
of the new venture is assured.
