RAILROADS CALLED
 UNFAIR TO WORKERS
"Petting Parties" With Brotherhoods
 Charged Before Board.

Chicago, March 1o-Charges that the railroads generally had not held proper conferences with their em- ployes before bringing requests for wage reductions to the railroad labor board and that only the lower classes were named while the roads held "petting parties" with the big four brotherhoods were made before the board when wage hearings started this week.
 A short indictment of the roads, delivered by E. J. Manion, president of the order of railroad telegraphers, wound up a session of roll calls which disclosed that POS railroad systems and 25 labor organizations are on the boards docket to fight out the case
 Washington, March Io.--President Harding was presented with a peti- tion in behalf of the United Brother hood of maintenance of way employees and railway shop laborers urging that he interfere to prevent further wage decreases affecting their members.

Ever since the period of industrial depression began Americans have been complaining that they were an- abl: to get what jobs there wyfc while workers of foreign birth were being given preference because they, with their different bringing up could live on what Americans wouldn't touch and would therefore work for next to nothing in comparison with living costs. As told in The Labor News some months ago these com plaints finally became so numerous as to reach the proht-stuffed ears of the manufacturers taking advantage of that situation and great hullaballoo was made about compelling all em- ployes in the factories to at least start the process of becoming citi- zens or quit their jobs. Th1s was a gigantic bluff it turned out as many who did seek their papers did so un- der compulsion and paid no attention to what they were doing if, in fact, half of them knew what they were doing
 After this fanfare of trumpets and loud calling of "The American Plan" for Americans ,the factories calmly settled back into the old rut until now the situation has become one, to use the terms of the ex-soldiers where mo white man need apply" white man being their expression for a real American either by birth or baptism of blood. As matter of fact within the past two weeks stories have been told The Labor News by men who applied for work at two of the large factories in town, only to be told there was nothing doing for them l. to work, to the effect that they were bluntly told by employing agents that they were only wasting their time in asking for jobs.
 Wages have been cut as low as I2 and Is cents an hour in some New Haven factories as a result of this policy of hiring cheap foreign labor. That does not only not provide a de- cent living for an American but hard ly a bare existence for the ta1d of help that is being hired tu work for it. Meantime these same factory heads have been clamoring for high tariff to protect them from cheap foreign labor while at the same time putting to work all of the cheapest kind of the same labor they can find here while letting real good Ameri- cans starve or beg on the streets There would be no clamor on the part of the soldiers for bonus if they could get jobs to support them selves and if the Legion can start something that will cofs el the grasp ing employers to give hem jobs it vii have done the countky as great service as it did the world when American boys went abroad and stop ped the war.

Hopes of G. O. P. Blasted When Unionists Decide to Keep

Especial to The Labor NewS.)

Hartford, March Io.-There will be no "FarmerLabor Party" ticket in the municipal election here next month, much to the confusion of the hope of the Hartford Courant and other republican interests who had watched with glee the entry of the Farmer-Labor element into the fray for the past two elections and the consequent defeat of the democrats But now the farmer-labor adherents have realized their folly and came about to the labor union principle of "elect your friends and defeat your enemies" hence the confusion of the republicans, who certainly haven't shown any too great friendship for the labor element even though it did bring about it's election.
 The decision not to enter the municipal election was made at con ference in Central Labor Unoin hall on Tuesday night, which was follow ed by the following statement:
 At the meeting O. the Hartford branch of the farmer-labor party held last evening at Central Labor Unoin hail il was decided to place no city ,.%tess1<:s- in ';he fiefd this spFiug owing to a communication received from na- ticnal headquarters to the effect that immediate plans were being made for the coalition of all progressive groups and particularly of all liberal political parties.

OPERA AT ST. LOUIS TONIGHT
Municipal Association Gives De-

BY Uaised Press.
ST. LOUIS, June 6.-No Mississippi
valley farmer, though his whole crop de
pends upon it, is watching the weather
more closely today than are 10000 city
bred ST. Louisians. They don't wan
rain.
II would interfere tonight with the
opening Of the fourth annual season OF
St. Louis Municipal Opera in the Munich
pal Theatre at Forest Park. where De-
Koven's operetta THE Highwaymen' is
to be given with cast headed by Sophie
Brandt. native St. Louisian. and cho-
rus of 100 St. Louis boys and girls.
St. Louis has the only municipal opera
in America. Its season beginning to-
night in the open air theatre in Forest
Park runs eight weeks. Two weeks ago
season advance sales had toialled more
than $4,000 and the advance sale today
will approximate $4,000. The theatre
holds 9,270 people. Every seat. including
LOO which arc free. will be taken to-
night, ii 1t doesn't rain.
Incidentally. last season, although the
opening was far from as auspicious as
this, the season cleared $4,000. This
money, according to the charter of the
Municipal Opera Association, must go
back into its productions. Besides i'm
proving the open air theatre. it set aside
funds sufficient TO start its Municipal
Opera Chorus School-the only muni-
cipal opera school in American which
260 St. Louis boys and girls were trained
in preparation for the season. OF that
number 100 were selected for this years
chorus.
The school will probably be carried

rs Years Ago Travelling Dentists
Furnished Amusement With Pain

! Thirfy-fve years ego the travelling
dentist was as familiar a person to the
people Of Columbia and the smaller
towns as the doctor" Of today who,
with the help Of his blackfaced comedi-
an. sells enough homemade medicine to
cure all ills.
| The older residents Of Columbia will
remember the travelling dentist. Some
times he came to a town with his negro
banjo player and an Indian dancer, and
on some busy street corner proceed to
furnish entertainment, to draw the crowd
and to draw teeth He specialized in
teeth extraction and would pull all ones
teeth for a nominal fee. The after.treat.
ment of the gums was left to the in
dividual and consisted Of a mouth wash
of salt water. Sets Of false teeth could
be procured for about SIS. The travel
ing dentist seldom filed teeth. With
limited facilities this process was slow
and tedious and far from satisfactory,
for often the tooth was in too bad con.
dition to warrant filling.
Another form Of travelling dentist ap-
pcared later. He operated in the coun-
try as well as the towns, staying in a
kome as long as his services were in
demand. In the country this home serv-
ed as his headquarters and the people
of the neighborhood gathered there for
dental treatment.
Dentistry has had its greatest develop
ment during the last century. Before
the time of the professional dentist, bar
bers and blacksmiths extracted teeth and
received a fee for their work. The sill.
