flowers and the meadows fell asleep;

Cleanliness Needed.

San Francisco.-Cleanliness is the
first requisite in the campaign against
lead poisoning, declares l.. II. Dus-
chak, NJ. A, Ph. D., consulting chem
ical engineer for the California in
custriaI accident commission,
"a careful study, of the subject has
shown that lead poisoning is almost
invariably caused by dust or fume
particles which are taken into the
system through the mouth or nose, T"
said DIR. Duschak.
"a very small amount of lead, for
example, a quantity no larger than a
Din head, entering the system every
day may gradually bring on poison
ing. This minute quantity may easily
enter the mouth or nose unnotieed.
The effects of moderate exposure may
not be noted at first, but lead IS a
cumulative poison and if lead is regu-
larly entering the system ones health
NAV be gradually undermined and
quite a little damage done before the
danger is recognized"

Quality VS.. Quantity in Printing.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. i.--1orres-
pondents of the international Typo
graphical Journal are urging that
stress be placed on the proof-reading
division of the unions technical course
in printing to remedy a threatened
deterioration in educational qualifiea-
tions of printers due to the use OF
type-setting machines"
"There was a time when even an
apprenticeship in a well conducted
country office amounted to common
school education," one correspondent
wrote. "That was in the days when
the apprentice was familiar with Nc
Guffey's speller and to be remiss In
the matter of syllables was an un-
pardonable sin. In the old days one
always respected a journeyman print
er for his knowledge of English.
Today speed and quantity outweigh
erudition."
Arousing interest of apprentices In
punctuation, word division and other
subjects included in the proof reading
course, which all are required to take,
is presented by correspondents as
task for journeymen printers and en-
ployers.

ARKANSAS MUST CURB
ANTI-uNlON VIOLENCE

Washington. - President Gompefs
of the American Federation of La
Dor has issued a statement insisting
that the government of Arkansas
shall intervene to protect the strik-
ing employees of the Missouri &
North Arkansas railroad at Harrison,
Ark, from mob violence.
"The facts of mob violence, of usur-
patton of municipal authority, of in
timidation, are matters of open rec
ord" declares President Gompers.
Properly constituted government
in the state of Arkansas can vindi-
cate itself only by speedy determ-
ination of responsibility and an ade-
quate and quickly determined punish
ment for those guilty of one of the
worst atrocities of our time.
"Where there is so much enmity
against labor, surely it is only fair
to insist that duly constituted author
ity take charge and perform its duty
in a situation such as this"
The anti-labor mob dictatorship at
Harrison is organized under the aus
pices of local .'citizens' committee" :"
One striker has been lynched and
several driven from the state.

Favor Sweating.

London, England.-Trade unionists
are preparing to resist government
proposals that would virtually de-
stroy the trade board acts.
The first act was passed in 1903 as
a result Of trade union agitation
against the sweating system among
oppressed and low-wage workers.
Since the passing of the 1918
amendments So boards affecting more
than 1000 900 workers have been set
up. Several per cent Of these work
ers are women. These boards now set
wages Of many classes of unorganized
and low-paid workers outside the
most fragrant sweating trades.
The governments proposal to amend
the act is based on the theory that a
trade board should be concerned only
with the prevention of sweating
of the worst form, and not, as now
with the fixation for scheduled trades
Of a minimum wage.

Get Ready For The
Rush.
.,..l.-:-,..,..,..l.....y..l..l..!.-l-i-l-l-l-

Now Is the time to begin to get
ready for the rush season of the year
and every local should be on the job
preparing to take care of all the
business that can be had for their
members. See that union laber does
the painting and decorating In your
locality. Locals that have business
agents will begin now to line up all
the work possible for the members
and getting non-union painters TO
sign up. Locals that have no bust
ness agent should make some ar
rangements for campaign to get
all work done by union men that they
possibly can. There are many ways
to do this and each locality should
plan some way to advertise union
painters and decorators. Running a
union is just like running q busi-
ness and if a business man did not
make an effort TO get business he
would soon go out of business. 1t
pays TO advertise your wares and In
every locality where a local exists
some method can be found 70 impress
the people with the fact that all the
good painters and decorators are
union men. We certainly believe
that the best men In the trade are In
our ranks and we should let the
world know it. Start a campaign to
Clean Up and Paint Up, with Union
Painters and Decorators. Get the
Union contractors TO advertise their
wares and LET the local do as much as
possible. Make this matter Of busi-
ness under the good of the order and
you will find some of the brothers
with good ideas. This promises 70
be a good year and we can make II
better If we can get on the job boost
ing our game.-SponRe and Brush.
