SUPPOSE THEY LABORED

"The railroad labor board, whose
members draw salary of $4,000
per annum from the United States
government, declares that living
wage is "a bit of melliffuous phraseol-
ogy well calculated to deceive the un-
thinking, says the Seamen's Jour
nal.
eve wonder what would happen if
these illustrious gentlemen, with
their silver toned and euphonious
language, were personally subjected
to a wage of % cents an hour, and
from such meager pay had to raise
a family?? Everybody is entitled to
one guess.
But assuming that they themselves
could be made to work for a starva-
tion wage, it's cinch that they would

TRADE UNIONS ON GUARD

TRADE UNIONS ON GUARD
A survey of trade union opinion
regarding the proposal to license
and subject them to bureaucratic
control shows that the labor organi-
cations are aware of the sinister
character of this proposal. The pro-
test made against the proposal to
license unions stresses two objections
that are pertinent. That the power
of unions may be abused just as are
the power of other organizations, may
be conceded. The same may be said
of free speech and free assembly, but
there is no reason for licensing dis

STEEL AND EIGHT HOURS

STEEL AND EIGHT HOURS
1t is a difficult role that Judge Ell
bert H. Gary has to fill as head of the
United States steel corporation. On
matters concerning the economical
production of steel and the relation
of the price of steel to general busi-
ness prosperity there are few who
can speak with the authority which
properly attaches to his utterances.
For these reasons, both because of
the responsibility of his position and
because of its recognition of the ex-
act nature of his information, the
Christian Science Monitor hesitates
to take issue with the reasons he
gives for maintaining the present
12-hour work-day in the steel indus

The freedom with which newspapers
are permitted to make unchallenged
statements about labor indicates that
labor men and women deliberately
permit this opportunity to waste.
What other group is so neglectful ?
Practically none.
Take the Christian Scientists, for
example. In every community there
is committee on publication" which
watches for and probably answers
criticisms of Christian Science. No
newspaper in America can get away
with any criticism of these alert
committees. The letters to editors
written by these committees are cour-
teous, but very firm, stating the case
simply and clearly.
Many other organizations are al
most as wide awake.
= x
Don't think these letters are use
less. Many of them do not get print
ed, but the editor always knows about
them and it has to be pretty 'hard
boiled" individual that can forget re-
peated challenges as to accuracy.
Many letters do get printed and
there are always many who read
them.
No labor man who can write the
English language should permit 6
false statement to get by" in any
paper in America. Whoever knows
the facts should write them in let
ter form and mail them to the editor
Such letters should not be ugly il
temper and they should not be ex
travagant in statement. They shoul(
tell the facts in simple, clear, moder
ate language. Their purpose is no
to start a fight, but to get the truth
into print and to act as a caution
against further mis-statement.
If committee of one or more cal
be designated for this watch towe
job in every community, that is tn
ideal method, but if this is not don
then every man and woman in tn
labor movement should be a self
elected committee, watching th
papers and correcting in polite, bu
| firm language all misstatements
Don't write long letters. Don't jan
wind. Don't get wild. Get to th'
point, stick to the point, state fact.
and facts only. Write neatly, legi
bly,, or with a typewriter. Sign your
name and give your address Watcl
regular.
Why let every Tom, Dick and Harry
get away with careless or malicious
work in the news and editorial col
umns of the daily newspapers of The
land?
Why don't the labor men, including
labor officials, come to life and show
a little energy instead of merely
bowling about the Lying news
papers? Maybe some of them vii
never print the truth and maybe many
of them will print only a little truth
but make the effort. Nobody listens
to the oyster because it has nothing
to say. EVERYBODY LOOKS u

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive. use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ens the hair so naturally, so evenly. that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that be- sides beautifully darkenine the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives It sn appearance of abundance

14,O0O Aliens Waiting To Rush Into America-Many Will Have To Be Sent Back to Old Country

New York, July 31.-Thousands of aliens from a score of European and Asiatic countries hung over the rails of ocean liners in Gravesend bay to- day, whiling away the weary hours before midnight when the immigra- tion quota for August opens.
 In all 14 vessels, carrying 14,00o aliens. will be ready to race for quar- antine when the quota opens.

ITALY'S POSITION

 London, July 31.-The principal business before the cabinet today was the discussion of the Franco Belgian communications in reply to Great Britain's reparations note. It was generally opined in political circles that the ministers were approaching their task with serious anxiety.
 The concensus of opinion is that France is immovable in her position and that she has the support of Bel gium as far as passive resistance and the continuation of the Ruhr occupa- ton are concerned. It Is understood, however, that the Belgian note ex- pressed a wish for solution of the tangle and also announces a willing ness to agree to the appointment of an expert commission to consider Ger many's ability to pay.
