Some parents who have sons and

thl; idea OF citizenship should be
modelled upon that % the ancient
Greeks but there are many good
reasons why u should not be.
The idea OF state sovereignty is
under fire from many quarters
The conception OF patriotism as
cherished by men OF an older gem
Grafton Is moribund The foremost
writer's and thinkers OF all coun-
tries are questioning the value OF

why should We hand the old
theology Of the dead over TO our
young people? They regard with
cynical diSillufionment the world
which now lies officially bankrupt
before them.-the world which this
dead theology has produced. Some

 Employees Is Engineers Plea

New York; April 13.-The United States government sanctions working conditions that would not be tolerated by private employers, declares the fed erated American engineering societies i'll an appeal for federated safety pro- gram Congress Is asked to enact safety legislation providing. for the safe construction and equipment of buildings, regular inspection of con- ditions and the training of employed to lessen accidents.
 "The government should, in its indus trial plants, set an example to private employers by providing for its own en- p1oyes working conditions which are safe, hygienic and sanitary" says the same statement.
 Although the United States em- ployers' compensation commission IS now expending approximately S3,OOO,- GOO per annum to allievate the results of industrial accidents. 1t has no au- tthority to take action of a preventable nature which might obviate the necessity for his expenditure for the loss of life and limb.
 Safe methods of practice in indus try represent one way to eliminate waste of human life and material in manufacturing and productive processes, and 1t is a proper function of the state to safeguard the lives, the limbs and the health of those engaged i'll industry and gainful occupations

COURT GOES BACKWARD
 DECLARES LABOR WOMAN

Washington, April 13.-"The su- pFeme, court could not have gone backward more decisively," said Miss Ethel Smith, legislative secretary of the National Women's Trade Union League, in referring to the outlawing of the District of Columbia women's s
 minimum wage law Miss Smith is
 also the labor representative on the
 minimum wage board that was ere
 ated by the law. She intirnated that
 the league would call a conference to discuss the situation.
 The women of the country have seen two child labor laws invalidated,
 and now the minimum wage laws for women, which they have worked for nearly 20 years to put upon the statute books of I4 states and are still working for in other states" said Miss Smith.
 "Tkeir other recent statute, the Sh~l pard-Towner act, is also await ing a decision from this same su- preme court, with the least possible encouragement, now that the court,

CONNECTICUT co. WILL HELP EMPL0YES
 GET COAL SUPPLY

Owing to the great difficulty expeT- fenced in obtaining sufficient amount of coal for household purposes during the past winter and the abnormalIy high prices that have been charged tor what coal was available the Con- nectlcut Company in a letter which will soon be placed in the hands of all its employees sets forth a plan where by all employees may be assured of a full supply of coal for the winter needs.
 Under the proposed plan such em- ployes as may wish to avail them selves of the offer will have the full winter requirements of coal delivered durlng the summer months. Payments will be guaranteed by the company and a small amount taken from the weekly pay of the employees The payments will be extended over period beginning the first of May and extending through to November.
 Another feature of the plan is that all employees may continue to get the coal from the dealer with whom they have been doing business in the past providing, of course, that the dealer will agree with the general terms of the plan
 A ClICuIdf IcIteT containing this ln- formation will soon be placed in the hands of all employees together with a queStlonnaire in which information IS sought which will enable the com pany to perfect the proposed plan so that 1t can be placed in operation by the first of May
 After the replies have all been re- turned the arrangements for the de- livery Of the coal will be made and an agreement entered into between :, the company and the individual em-
 ployes authorizing the deduction of 1 the proper proportion of the exact coal bill from the weekly payroll Naturally some of the payments will have been made before the coal can be delivered but in cases where i this occurs If the individual leaves the
 employ of the company before the
 coal has been delivered the money
 paid in will be refunded Likewise i in the case of an individual leaving kthe employ of the company after de- livery of the coal has been made but
 before it has been paid for full pay
 ment will, of course, be required at ] once.

CORPORATION LAW

It is a significant fact. nevertheless, that of the four justices who were ap- pointed by MT. Harding, the two who had previously been corporation law yers should have denied the power of Congress to enact a min1mum-wag law for women in the District of Co., Iumbia and the two who had been judges should have held that Con- gress had full power under the Con- stitution to enact this legislation. In view of this striking division of opin- ion among four justices who were all named by the same President, and who are all of similar tendencies politically, it is folly to expect the American people to accept such a de- cision as a final interpretation of the Constitution. The Constitution of the United States cannot remain indefin- itely a one-man Constitution.-The (N. Y) World.

CRAVE LABOR UNREST
 IS BRITISH PROBLEM

London, England, April Io-This nation is confronted on all sides by strikes because of wage cuts and de- mands for longer hours Building workers have been called upon to ac- cept drastic wage reductions and longer hours. Agricultural workers in the vicinity of Norfolk have shown surprising solidarity, which is causing work in government and other quar- ters. Pottery workers to the number of 6o,ooo are demanding a new con- tract, minus the demand for wage cuts, while the National Union of Railwaymen have given notice that they will not accept lower rates for shop work. Maritime workers are also involved, and thousands of jute workers have been locked out Added to this situation is the unemployed army that shows no signs of decreas- ing

Political ChauHeurs

It Is remarkable how the politi- clans can throw their old machine into reverse; back up right in the midst of heavy traffic blockade the progress of millions of peoples and never have even their attention called to 1t by the traffic cops.
 Along in 1920 the old world was moving forward; peace was riding in the front seat; every body was happy. when suddenly a national campaign i'll this country suddenly blocked all the forward motion; congested the worlds trade; and disturbed international conditions so seriously that every thing has been at a standstill for three years.

Do you recall how the politician pointed to a well known poster of the present President standing in front of a flag Gan in correctly drawn "Old Glory") and how the blazing letters spelled America First?

 Too much butchery in Russia is the reason for cancellation of her pass port visa.

LITTLE RED TAIL

Strictly speaking, 1t is not "LaL Dor" party at all. Few of its leaders are trades unionists of the vast trader union organization, consequently the so-called Labor" party is like the big white dog with the little red tail Actually, the Fabian Society has only 200 members and the Independent Labor party only 33,ooo, yet these two small organizations have captured the leadership of the trades unions, which have membership of more than S. 100000 The present leaders of the Labor party are partly political ca reerists and partly well-meaning men who have a grudge against prosper ity. They do not represent the rank and file of British workers-Herbert N. Casson on the British Labor party in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Goods Branded Falsely; Name
 Means Nothing

New York, April 1o,-How to ore vent misleading names on commodi- ties offered for sale was discussed by committee of the American Bar Association.
 Most of the linen now claimed to be manufactured in Belfast is made in the United States, 1t was stated,
 The use of the name Hudson seal" for articles made of the skins of muskrat, trimmed and dyed in per feet imitation of the genuine article was declared to be one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated by the fur in dustry Rabbit skin is offered as Bal tic" and other varieties Of seal It was stated that mountain goat will be offered as ermine unless misrepresen- tation in this industry Is halted.
 Ii was declared that there is inten- tional commercial deception in many of the names selected for articles which had frst-class standing when first marketed. Members of the com mittee wre agreed as to conditions but no action was taken.
 The committee also considered a United States industrial court similar to Aliens "can't-strike" law, but con cluded to postpone action.
