1t is said that Will Hays has Of
fered deposed Congressman Vol
stead $1,000 week to appear in
the movies. If this is true it is
needless to state that Andrew will
take it. 1t is also needless to state
that the filmers will be robbed of
just $1,000 a week, but. to show
that our heart is in the right place,
we will suggest to Hays that lame
ducks are not bringing such prices
at the presest time as the market
has been very much overdone since
the November elections. Some seem
to think that for this amount of
weekly stipend, Hays could get the
entire Anti-saloon League, including
that fellow, Stafford.

Reports yesterday stated that
Federal enforcement agents would
arrive in town on the afternoon
train and that in the afternoon they
would conduct raids at several
places. We suggest that part of
the millions appropriated for en-
forcement be used to hire bands for
the agents and that a parade be
staged when they hit town. The
common citizen could at least get
a little music for his investment
in enforcement taxes.

1t is amusing to watch the wrang-
ling now going on between Mime
apolis and st. Paul over the Henry
Ford plant which is destined to
help both places and bring money
into the state. The papers of the
Twins every now and then have
items ridiculing what they term as
'small town stuff" or chick doings"
in which state towns are held up
for the laughing public to lookat.
For real neighborness give us the
little town even if everyone in it
knows the ms and outs of every
ones business.

The chances are that Fatty Ar
buckle will not be tolerated in the
movies by theatre goers notwith-
standing the whitewash so copiously
applied by Dictator Hays. Fatty is
apparently healthy, and surely big
enough, to go to work on the docks
or digging sewer bitches and thus
make some use of the strength and
size given him.

HE SHOULD BE
STUNNED

The word Stacker" was one which
received considerable amount of
prominence during the late war, but
slackers did not disappear when the
war came to an end.
The kind of Stacker which our local
unions is particularly interested in is
the trade union Stacker. He is the
engineer who receives higher wages,
shorter hours and better working con-
ditions because of the efforts put
forth by our organization of which
he is, or should be, member. He is
the engineer who, in some cases, re-
fuses altogether to link himself up
with the |. U. S. & O. E. In other
cases he is the one who, while nomi-
nally member of our organization,
is still a Stacker in that he displays
little or no interest, and in some
cases refuses even to pay his share
of the cost of operation. We do not
know of any Stacker who is more
deserving of the name than the trade
union Stacker.
Local unions that are fortunate
enough to have the closed-shops as
part of the conditions, obtained
through organization, do not find it
so hard to keep the dues Stacker up
to date. In such a case he pays his
dues or doesn't work, whichever he
chooses, but in the local unions where
closed-shop has not been obtained
the dues dodger gets in his fine work,
and here it is that those who are so
lacking in sportsmanship and honor
that they do not intend to pay or bear
their fair share of the burden, are
harder to deal with In such a case
the burden of the willing engineers is
made that much harder and some
| times harder than the international
Steam Engineer thinks is necessary
Dues-paying members should not be
backward in letting the slackers know
their feelings in the matter, and it
| seems to US that some effective moral
suasion along this line would bring
some results. Those who do not hold

gerous occupations in the country.
This fact seems to be forgotten by
those folk who do no more dangerous
work than to sit behind rolltop
desk and look wise yet who denounce
the miner for asking higher wages
and better working conditions.
President Lewis recently pointed
out that the miners daily undergo
dangers of which the average person
has no conception. That his state
ment on the perils of mining did not
exaggerate the situation in the least
is admitted by authorities on coal
mining.

Though Mr.. Raushenbush expresses
doubt as to what has been responsible
for the failure to install safety inn
provements he indicates in a para
graph which follows that '1ack of de-
sire" is the real reason. He says:
"The history of mining laws, pro-
viding mainly for safeguards and in
spection, shows that each advance was
made only as the consequence of a
new horrible disaster and that each
bill was fought consistently by the
ioal companies. The coal companies
still oppose more stringent safety leg
islation; and the old legislation, the
miners assert, is dead letter wher-
ever the union does not exist to en-
force it,"

PRESIDENT illinois State Federation
of Labor
Along in 1904 when w. r. Russell
was president of the Illinois Miners
Union, industrial conditions were bad,
and, after long drawn-out joint con-
ference between the scale committees
(selected from the different scale dis
tricts within the state of Illinois)
for the miners union and the coal
operators of that state, they had been
unable to reach an agreement and
were about at the breaking point.
There was a good deal of bitter
feeling on both sides, and if there had
been disagreement reached and both
sides had gone back home and started
to fight, the chances are it would have
meant a long drawn-out, costly battle
with much suffering and misery to the
mine workers, loss to the coal opera
tors, higher prices and inconvenience
to the public
In the hope of bringing about set
tlement, President W. r. Russell, of
the Illinois Miners Union, got into
communication with the then inter
national president of the Miners
Union, John Mitchell, explained the
situation to him and asked him to
come to Springfield Immediately to
help them to try and bring about an
agreement.
Mr.. Mitchell was unable to come
Immediately but agreed to come the
following day and be in Springfield
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Washington, July 2. Roland w Boyden, American observer with the Ireparation commission virtually since its establishment under the Versailles peace treaty, has presented his resig- nation and will be succeeded by his assistant Col. James A. Logan, Jr Mr. Boyden's resignation announced in Paris yesterday was explained in q state department announcement as being due to his desire to resume the practice of law.
 Mir. Boyden's colleagues on the rep aration commission have not yet been formally notified of hts resignation. It is reported that it was his inten- ton to inform them verbally and casually at meeting.
 The position of official observer" for the United States has become less interesting in the last 12 months, es- pecialy since the occupation of the Ruhr All members of the commits sion agree that the importance of their work has besn greatly dimin- ished by the fact that the govern ments have taken the important as7 poets of the separations question out of the hands of the commission te- ducing that body to bureau for the accumulation of economic informa- ton and for bookkeeping purposea.

 Upon hearing this news MT. Bears eyes rolled about as if he expected the man to appear at any moment.
 Shove that log under my chin!" he commanded his wife.
 By grasping root with one paw, Mrs. Bear managed to move the log over, so that her husband could rest his chin upon it.
 Now grab my tail again and lift as hard as you can," he directed her.
 T don't want to hurt you, Eph- raim," she protested.
 Never you mind about that" he cried. Just do as tell you.
 Presently 1t was plain to everyone that MT. Bear was slowly but surely rising out of the mud. In few min utes he was upon the bank. He was a sorry sight, but nobody laughed at him.
 Follow me-" he said to his family. And off they all dashed, into the bushes.

BOYDEN ID RETURN ID OWN BUSINESS
Will Be Succeeded as Observer by
 Col. ]. A. Logan

Paris, July 2.-The retirement of Roland w. Boyden as American ob- server with the separations commis- sion which will take place August 1 has long been meditated. Mir. Boyden told Secretary Hughes last August of his desire to return to his private af- fairs in Boston and the secretary 1t is understood, asked him to remain on duty until January. MT. Boyden agreed but when January came he was not relieved and so he again wrote to MT. Hughes.
 AS no reply was received, MT. Boy den in March once more reminded the state department of his wishes. Secretary Hughes replied in May say ing that if he had irrevocably decided to leave would he remain until Aug ust 1. To this the observer assented and two weeks ago he sent a formal letter of resignation.
