From the data obtained an index or

Thus far in 1924, the index shows

WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a
Employment just now shows a slight
decline.
Factories and mills throughout the
United States are reducing somewhat
the number of workers on their pay
rolls, 1t is shown in a nationwide
survey just completed by the United
states Department OF Labor. This is
in line with slackening OF manufac-
turing activity In many sections.
There is, however, nothing alarming
in the situation.
The Department Of Labor has been
studying the numbers of men and
women at work in the principal lines
of industry for more than ten years.

deavor to save the trade union move
ment from the disintegration which
must follow the practice of striking
regardless of rule of agreement.
Agreements Must BE Kept
THE founders of trade unions al
ways looked upon the strike as the
last weapon, the modern protagonist
acts as If it were the first. Possibly
some Of those who promote the unof-
are actuated by the best motives, or
they may be craftsmen suffering un-
der obvious grievances, but generally
speaking, wherever 3 motive is dis
cernible, it is a personal or at least
a non-trade-union movement.
Trade Unfonism cannot exist apart
from trading and collective bargain
ing. The originating and dominating
principle of trade unionism is COM
mon arrangement in respect of wages,
hours, and conditions, and this is i'm
possible apart from the existence OF
collective authority. The unofficial
strike is, therefore, the first stepping
stone towards industrial chaos, to-
wards crashing wage rates and low
cred standards of living. So seriously
have these strikes sacrificed the pub
lie interests, that public sympathy
has been alienated, and what is even
more dangerous to trade unionism
is that such strikes are antagonizing
those workers who, understanding
something of trade and commerce,
are not prepared to see either made
the sport of men who are seeking to
crafty personal ambitions. These
well-informed workers who have
hitherto been the backbone of trade
unionism are becoming jdisgudsted.
If they quit the movement all work
ers, skilled and unskilled, must ulti-
mately suffer.
Outlaw Strikes Bring Reaction
Some of the recent unofficial
strikes of this character have been
examples of folly and selfishness
rather than of solidarity and sympa-
thy 1t may have been the intention
of those who engineered sympathetic
strikes to give assistance to other
sections of workers, but IL their action
hurt ten times as many workers as
it benefits, it savours very much of
the practice of cutting off ones nose
to spite ones face.

WILSON: Great
IN WORLD WAR
Momentous Struggle Placed
Him at Zenith of Human
Power and Fame.

Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eighth
president Of the United States, was
the human phenomenon Of the World
war, the most momentous Of all the
wars Of history. At fifty-four he was
no more than a university professor
and political writer. At sixty-three he
was In place Of fame and power I'M
surpassed in history. What place will
history give hyn3
The great war brought to the front
many men whose names will live in
honor. In the last analysis three men
stand out: Wilson. Lloyd George.
Clemenceau. OF these three 1t was
Wilson who held the worlds eye-Wil-
son, the human phenomenon of the
times, until fifty-four no more than q
college president and political writer
and at sixty-three on a pinnacle of
fame and honor and power unsur-
passed II ever attained by any man
In history.
1t Is impossible now to differeptiate
between Woodrow Wilson the man and

powerful nation of earth In wealth,
material and fighting men. Certainly
he could not have reached the place
he held without great ability and ex-
traordinary capacity for leadership.
BY virtue of his place he became a
focus of world attention as soon as
the great war began. Before the armi-
stice was signed he had become a
great moral leader with the ear Of the
peoples Of the world. Only as such
coulc he have forced upon the allied
world the unofficial acceptance Of his
project Of league of nations, with its

gress January 10, 1913.

The enthusiasm evoked by President
Wilson's visits to Paris, London and

the regard Of the people. 1t was evil

Experimental Fur Farm

An experimental fur farm Is being
established in the northwestern part
Of New York state by the bureau Of
biological survey Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, In order
that observations and studies may be
made Of the habits Of fur-bearlng ami
mails and Of the possibilities Of grow
ing them in captivity and producing
fur Of good quality. A similar farm,
which has been operated by the bu-
reau at Keesville, N. Y, will be dlscon-
tinued as soon as the new one Is ready.
The new farm Is located three and one
half miles from Saratoga Springs, N.
Y, on the state highway to Corinth,
and Is more easily accessible than the
old, both by automobile and by bus
line. The tract comprises 20 acres,
of which approximately ii are covered
by an excellent growth Of timber, and
will furnish an ideal situation for the
desired purpose.

had not been able to express ; his ideas
and ideals were a sort of religion to
them.
But he showed himself a statesman
as well as a voice. He played the game
masterfully. He established sympathy
between himself and his man or his
crowd. He made few II any mistakes
In taste or judgment. He matched
his mind" to use his own expression,
with the best of Europe and he got his
league Of nations before the peace
conference and got 1t adopted.
President Wilson's two months in
Europe may be divided into phases.
When he landed the attitude toward
the league of nations was this: The
government of France was antagonis-
tic; Great Britain's was suspicious !;
Italy's was skeptical. The first phase,
his triumphant progress through
France, England and Italy opened the
eyes of these governments to his hold
on the people. The second phase, the
preliminary work Of the peace con-
ference, convinced these governments
that President Wilson had an idea
rather than set plan which he pur-
posed to force upon them.

Wilson at home were as wide apart as
the poles. Senator ]. Thomas HefliI;

One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders

VOUR doctor can tell you that
i nervous disorders are very COM
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, a drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stimulant for the heart and nervous
system. 1t has a tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg-
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
If you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
time drink.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. 1t is alb
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try cup of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is
sold everywhere.

family was determining that some
one must go out into the world The
number of mouths to feed must be
lessened and some money must come
from somewhere.
Pennies must be scraped for the

there: a little money from friends
