LABOR is AMERICAN.

The refusal of the American Federation of Labor,
through its President Samuel Gompers, and other Off
Gals, to participate in the general labor antiwar
ference at The Hague week no surprise
to those who have become familiar with the Fedora
ton under Mr.. Gompers leadership. Union labor has
in for hard knocks labor troubles
and of the hardest blows dealt it come from
within its ranks. 1t has radical eement-s
leaders admit much-but the radicals are in the
moincrity and without material influence in the Fed
Grafton
The loyalty of the Federation has been exhibit ed
several times and voiced all times by Gompers
Il was re-afrmed when he declared that because
union labor in America unwilling commit itself
to an international general strike in case of war
defensive otherwise, renounce national entity
to seek naturalization of wealth." or to enter a
gathering where the trend of discussion been laid
down IN advance or such character is the forth
coming Hague conference to be held under the aus
pieces of the international Federation of Trades Unions
Originally it admitted, that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor had thought it might be possible TO
participate in the gathering but resolutions adoped
by the International Federation Trades Unions at
Rome made it impossible Mr. Gompers declared that
American unionsts devoted to the cause of GEN
eral peace and for that very could not take
part in conference committed in advance to pro-
posas not only lacking in constructive character but
which easily may be of themselves a most serious
menace to the of freedom"
This attitude of the American Federation is wholly
IN Keeping with the policies advocated by Mr. Compers
throughout his career it's chief Whatever NAV be

there can be criticism of its independence in ito
relations with foreign labor union organizations and

dsgraccful and hideous committed by armed
un ion men on June % is seemingly established. But
there was nothing in that trouble that justified the
coldblooded murders perpetraed at that time. Even
if three union miners had been murdered by the
mine guards and it positively known who COM
mited the murders there would still be excuse
the aggrieved strikers to take the law into their
hands And the disarming of the guards after
they had surrendered to the attacking force was
procedure that entitled them to absolute protection.
The attack the mine beyond the pale of law
and justice, and act which deserved punishment.
But the wanton killings that followed capitulaon
make black page in the history of the State of
Illinois
Little has been done to wipe the stain.
Almost six months elapsed and only five persons
been brought to the bar of Justice stand trial
completely in the affair. Whether those five men
participated in the attacks is for the jury
determine But it should not have been a difficult
task to apprehend the guilty persons the time of
the murders. Little effort made con-
cealment. Alert officials, determined to uphold the
laws at cost, should have prevented the scatter
ing and of the perpetrators, and speedy JUS
tice should have been meeo That these things
were not done is lasting reproach to the county
and State Governments in charge and responsible for
the safety of the lives that vciousy snufed
out.

Ho, Hum!

step on it," the excited woman
cried
But wait, you are wrong. They
were not trying to escape bandits
nor to outwit a pursuing motor cop,
nor even trying to beat train over
the crossing. She just was referring
to a poor little innocent spider that
was heading her way.
If 1t Fits
About the only sorrow the aver
age woman will bear in silence is
advancing age. That's one subject
every woman can keep mum about.
We guess you will find lot more
men trying to live down a bad repu-
tation than are trying to live up to
good one.
We see lot of girls who, we are
sure, would look lot more attrac-
tive if they would display their ears
and stick the earrings under their
hair.
Well, even if they now have them
tucked safely under long skirts we
knew girls who always will be re-
membered as the girls with the bow
legs or skinny pegs.
A contemporary prints an article
on Timid Children, but what we
would like to know is where can
you find any timid children these
days? ~
When a girl has a poor complexion
these days it means she has been
trying to get by on ten-cent store
cosmetics.
Formerly when a wife desired to
ditch her husband she took up her
residence in Reno for few months
Now she just takes up a six-shooter
and Bang" she's widower. This
sure is an age of speed!
A girl may tell man that all
she asks is love, but after he has
married her he discovers she meant
love surrounded by all the luxuries
her friends enjoy.
No matter how poor woman is
at conversation she is all to the
good when it comes to a monologue.
Oh, why should the spirit OF NOR
tai be proud. The fellow who at
tracts so much attention today may
occupy the most neglected grave in
the cemetery while waiting for the
last trump.

WAUWATOSA POST OFFICE

1t is the desire of the Post Office
Department, and its purpose, to pro-
vide adequate and convenient service,
SO far as may be possible, to. all per-
sons residing in rural communities,
but this end cannot be attained with
out the full cooperation of the pa
irons in the efforts of postmasters
and carriers to serve them promptly,
regularly and satisfactorily.
Whatever facilitates the work OF the
carrier is of direct benefit to the pa
irons, for the greater the ease and
speed with which a carrier may cover
his route the earlier and better the
service afforded.
So. patrons of rural delivery can
greatly help themselves by helping
their carrier seeing to it that roads
are kept in good condition and
promptly opened after storms, by
keeping the approaches to their boxes
clear. and by promptly and willingly
correcting any irregularities affecting
their boxes when asked TO do so.
Another great assistance that pa
irons can render carriers is by keep
ing themselves supplied with and
using stamps instead Of placing I'M
stamped mail, with money for the pur-
chase of the required postage, in the
boxes. This delays the carrier and
sometimes imposes a great hardship
on him, especially in cold or stormy
weather. If preferred, stamped en-
vclopes, either printed or plain, may
be obtained from the carrier; are of
good quality and cost hy little more
than the value of the stamps upon
them, and are redeemable at the
value of the stamps if damaged, but
returned in a practically whole condi-
ton.

THE NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN
BOY

At 7:45 next Sunday evening at the
American Legion Hall, DR.. F. G. Ben
ner of this city, an expert on boys, will
give short address before the Wau-
watosa Community Forum, opening
the discussion of the subject of "The
Needs of the American Boy" The
forum members will then discuss this
topic. Every one present is invited
to talk and bring his own problems or
his own solution to the subject of the
evening. Speakers are limited to four
minutes each.
All over the country open forums
meeting to consider the vital topics of
the day and to bring the reverent
spirit Of the Golden Rule to bear upon
everyday problems. One listens with
interest to a lecture, but how different
is ones reaction when he himself can
bring his own question or his own
suggestion. 1t helps one to know how
ones neighbor solves his difficulties.
1t inspires one to hear of the very best
and finest way to face the problems of
life. Members of the forum go home
heartened and uplifted after a forum
discussion and with renewed courage
to meet the weeks demands.
A committee of musicians from the
various churches provide music for
each evening. The forum begins at
7:45 and closes at 9. Won't you come
and join in the discussion of "The
Needs of the American Boy" next Sun
day night? Let your seasoned expe-
rience be of assistance to your neigh
Dor.
The meeting the following week
will be entirely open to a discussion
of any problems those attending may
wish to bring in relation to the gen
eral subject: 'What Does Wauwatosa
Need ?" If you have a suggestion
for community betterment, bring it. If
you do not understand Wauwatosa pol
icies, come and ask the mayor. We
want to hear the answer, too. Come
and help us talk and help us sing.
Anyway, come!

COMMUNITY BANQUET A
SUCCESS

Last Thursday evening 300 of our
citizens sat down at the annual COM
munity banquet given by the American
Legion in their new home, the Wau-
watosa community house, and enjoyed
an excellent dinner served by the
auxiliary of the post and followed by
several toasts given by some of our
prominent citizens, with VIM. A.
Walker as POSTMASTER. Several
pleasing musical numbers were given
the banqueters between courses. After
the toasts, etc, dancing was enjoyed
with music furnished by Gains or
chestra. The orchestra was under a
big handicap owing to the fact that
the balcony is entirely too much en-
closed, making it almost impossible
for the music to get out into the hall.
Ray Reynolds, secured by the legion,
entertained on various musical instru-
ments during the progress of the din
ner. Miss Selma Menninger with Mrs.
]. M. Mulvey at the piano rendered
several pleasing songs. Among the
speakers we're Capt. F. L. SWIFTLY, Mil
waukee, John R. Shoemaker, DR.. o.
C. Hubbard, Mayor Hanson, P. D,
Gates, Mrs. Scudder, Mrs. Woodland
and Stanley Perry.
Everybody attending reported an
excellent time and the wish was ex-
pressed that another banquet of like
nature be given in the very near
future.

COTTON MARKET
 WAS UNSETTLED
 AND MUCH WEAKER
FleeCy Staple Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Twenty to Thirty-four Points
 on Covering
By Associated Press

New York. January t6.-The cotton market was weak and unsettled today with prices selling into new low ground for the movement, March contracts declined to 1734c. or 56 points below the closing quotation of last week and s9.3O per bale below the high price touched at the opening on January 8. That delivery closed at 15.56c, with the general market closing steady at net decline of 20 to S4 points on covering
 The market opened barely steady at decline of 10 to 22 points in re- sponse to lower Liverpool cables. Private adviees attributing the de- cline in the English market to in creased hedge selling revived last weeks apprehensions of spot liquida- tion in the south, and there was also selling on reports of good rains in the southwest. Some trade buying appeared on the scale down, but 1t was very limited and the market showed increasing weakness during the middle of the day, owing partly to persistent selling by brokers with southern connections Naturally this pressure served to color the talk of an easier spot situation, and as prices worked lower stop orders were un- covered on every appoint drop.
 January sold off to 17.40c and May to 1703c making net declines of 40 to 60 points on the more active posi- tions, after which liquidation became less active and there were rallies from the lowest on covering or scat tered buying for a reaction. Some further trade buying was also re- ported late in the afternoon. but it was by no means active and the clos ing bulge was attributed chiefly to the stronger technical position of the market.
 Exports today 1S,061 bales, making }, 166,055 so far this season. Port re- ceipts 17,5S5. United States port stocks 1,251,107.

NEW YORK COTTON :.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans, January 16.-An un- favorable opinion of foreign politics and the bearish interpretation that further reductions in prices of manu- factures of various sorts meant slow trade were against prices in the cot ton market today, which was lower on the opening and was steady at the decline until after midsession. At the lowest the trading months were 30 to 56 points under the close of last week. March trading as low as 16.36c a pound. In the later trading some thing of rally was caused by realiz- ing on the short side and the close was at Aet losses on the day of 25 to 36 points. March closed at 16.56c.
 Much of the early selling was due to poor Liverpool. but discussion on the floor of the exchange was mainly centered on international politics. Manchester cables created an un- favorable impression. as they stated that while more business was being done there were no signs of a gen eral revival Prices were a dollar to dollar and half bale off on these features.
 In the late morning reports were circulated on the floor of the ex- change of further rioting in India and during the selling that followed stop lose orders were caught on the long side in considerable volume Rains in Texas and in sections of the central and eastern portions of the belt were regarded as highly favor able and added to the selling pressure, which was not checked until a de- mand consequently arose from the shorts themselves.

RAILROAD SHARES CHANGED HANDS
 ON WALL STREET
Bond Market Moved Con- trary to the Tone of Stocks, Prices Showing Much
 Confusion
By Associated Press

New York. January 16.-Purchases of railroad shares on comprehensive scale and al gross gains of l to 3 points furnished a firm foundation for today's active and generally strong stock market.
 There were several exceptions to the advance mainly among stocks in which the short interest continued dominant. Crucible Steel. Interna- tiqnal Paper, National Enameling and several obscure specialties were con sicuous examples. at reactions of l to- points.
 Equipments, motors, several of the Independent steels. as well as cop pers, utilities, textiles and miscel laneous speeialtles were sustained by the demand for rails. Hesitation was shown by oils during the greater part of the session, but that group came forward in the final hour with Mexi- can Petroleum the central feature. Sales amounted to SO0,00O shares.
 For the most part closing prices were irregularly under maximum quotations, extensive realizing being provoked by the steady advance of money rates. Call loans opened at 3la per cent, but rose gradually to 6 per cent just before the end. The former money rates were attributed to withdrawal or tederal deposits from local banks.
 Foreign affairs made little impress sion on the market for international remittanees and most domestic devel- cpments over the weekend received favorable interpretation. A canvas of conditions in the middle west con firmed recent advices of prospective revival in many lines of manufacture. although railroad tonnage showed further reductions from the corre- spending period of last year.
 The bond market moved contrary 10 the tone of stocks prices In that quarter showing considerable con fusion, which extended to Liberty is- sues, all of that series closing al mod crate recessions. New underwritings are projected by railroad and domes- lie and Canadian municipalities. To- tal sales, par value, $1S,750,000.
