Everybody Good-Natured !!

Everybody good natured. The city
is crowded. The street cars are
jammed. The streets are congested.
Elbows are touching and shoulders
are rubbing. The plain clothes of
civilians" are jostling against the
gay uniforms of the Shriners from
distant places. This is the time to
be patient and cheerful.
Washingtonians are TO be reminded
that these visitors of theirs, guests for
the week, are members of an order
that is founded in good humor. 1t is
The wearers of the red fezzes are out
for good time. That is why they
belong" and why they travel long
distances to attend the annual con-
ventions of the order. They take their
discomforts happily. They endure the
cramped quarters of sleeping cars and
of closely crowded rooms with jolly
spirits. The home folks" should be
as good natured as they.
Washington has put on gay colors
to welcome the Shriners. 1t should,
and it doubtless will, put on a gay
face to greet them and make them
feel at home. This is, more definitely
than any other place in the United
States. their own town. They help
to maintain it. They take keen
interest in it. Washington wants
them to feel a partnership in it..
All the more reason, therefore, to
give them the best it has, and
there is nothing better than a smile
and a glad hand and word of hearty
welcome and all the help possible to
make their stay here a happy one.
Everybody good natured.

MEXICAN REPUBLIC
is PROGRESSING

President Obregon Of Mexico, adj
dressing a congress of farmers In the
city Of Mexico, made clear that pres
sure from domestic and foreign finan-
cial interests would not cause him to
abandon the progressive policies
which have marked his administra-
ton.
The farmers adopted resolutions
calling on the government to continue
to divide the great landed estates
among the small farmers and to pro
tect the agricultural workers against
governmental judicial and military
outrages."
Obregon told the farmers that he
was in complete sympathy with them
and that while his government had
been boycotted politically by great In
ternal and foreign interests" all OBJ
stacles were being gradually over
come"
The movement to restore Mexico to
the Mexican people, he said, could not
be defeated If the plain people would
only continue to give 1t their support.
Obregon's remarks were received
with great enthusiasm.

UNEMPLOYMENT is
LESS FEARED NOW

Unemployment insurance has been
instituted in the clothing industry of
Chicago following arbitration of a
new agreement between the Chicago
Industrial Federation OF Clothing
Manufacturers and the Chicago joint
board of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. Wage increases ranging
from 10 to Is per cent were also
awarded by the arbitrators.
Under the job insurance plan. 1.5
per cent of their weekly earnings will
be paid by the workers and 1.5 per
cent of the payroll will be paid by the
employers into a fund. Involuntary
idle workers. after the first two weeks
of unemployment, viii be paid 40 per
cent Of their wages for five weeks.
This differs considerably from the
Cleveland plan of the Ladies' Gar
ment Workers. where only the en-
plOyers contribute to a reserve fund,
putting up 10 per cent Of the pay roll
to guarantee Al weeks employment
each year for each worker.
Each of these plans Is only a start
toward the goal of So weeks OF guar
anteed wages each year.
