or JUDGES
IS IN WORKERS ONLY

SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-THE workers
are victims of new theory of gov
eminent, declared United States
Senator Shipstead, in explaining the
labor injunction at a mass meeting
in this city.
Workers are deprived of their
rights under the law" said Senator
Shipstead. Workers are made SUBJ
jects Of the irresponsible will of what
is sometimes called the conscience of
our judges, sitting in courts of equi-
ty, through the misuse of the power
Of injunction. In other words, so
far as labor is concerned, government
by injunction is displacing govern
ment by law. We believe these con-
ditiOns have been brought about by
the misuse of the power of govern
ment by those who have been en-
trusted with the control of that
power.
1--WE believe that the paramount
duty of every American citizen, man
and woman, this year is to join hands
with the progressive forces and elect
Robert La Toilette president and
Burton X. Wheeler vice president, in
order that the administration of gov
eminent may be taken from those

By International Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. A.
That the United States government,
through he navy, helped the United
Fruit Company to break up a union
of banana plantation workers in
Honduras, is the charge made by Sal
ONION de la Selva, who is in Washing
ton as special representative Of the
Nicaraguan Federation Of Labor.
The charges are made in the follow
ing statement written by Mr.. de la
Selva for international Labor News
Service:
''The United Fruit Co., which fur
nishes most of the bananas imported
into this country, is. so patriotic that
when it feels its vast properties and
holdings in the Caribbean countries

Iof Latin America the least way en-
dangered, it does not hesitate to call
on the u. s. government for aid.
Nevertheless, whenever it finds it to
its advantage it has no hesitation in
chartering its ships (the Great
White Fleet) under the British flag.
"In the Atlantic coast of Honduras,
one Of the little Central American
republics, the company owns large
plantations. It used to employ ma
tive labor until q very short time
ago, at starvation wages. The ma
tives went around half naked, lived
in miserable huts, received no edu-
cation of any kind, had seven out Of
their every ten children die young
because of malnutrition, general bad
hygiene and lack of proper care.
''These natives of Honduras serv-
ing the United Fruit Company
thought that they had been born for
that; life was that way; death was
tits goal and only remedy. But then
they heard Of the Pan-American
Federation of Labor, Of the trade
unions, of labor organizations and
what organization could accomplish
It sounded too good to be true, but
certainly there could be no harm in
trying it.
"The most hopeful and forward of
those natives set about creating
workers unions. It was a most diff
icult task. Sometimes they didn't
have ony one who could read and
write to put at the head of local,
But they had a will and an organiza-
ton resulted. And being organized
they acted collectively in asking the
company for wages trife better
than fifteen to twenty cent a day Of
twelve to sixteen hours from before
dawn until after sunset in the wasp
and mosquito infested swamps where
the banana grows.
"They expected to get little bet
terment but what they got was a
general discharge. They were all
fired and the British-hagged ships of
the United Fruit company imported
into Honduras an eager, anxious-to-
work population from the West In
dies that were willing to labor for
less than twenty cents a day.
''The natives of Honduras threat
ened to fight it out with the new
conner. Naturally, the company re-
garded its property in jeopardy. The
American consul at Ceiba, Hon
duras, sent a call to the navy and
an American ship, the Galveston, was
hurried to the scene of events. The
Official report has it that "quiet
prevailed when the marines arrived"
Nothing could be truer. Quiet did
prevail indeed. The natives had fled,
panic-stricken, into the interior. The
Ceiba Union of Banana Plantation
Workers is no more. The leaders of
the Ceiba labor movement have fed
the country and are hiking across
Guatemala towards Mexico. The Hon
duras workers will probably have a
lot to tell when the Pan-American
Labor Federation convention meets
in Mexico City next December"

Old College Society

In announcing the plan to celebrate
the one hundred and f1ftieth anniver-
gary Of It's founding, Phi Beta Kappa,
the college honor society, announces
that ten presidents of the United
States, beginning with John Quincy
Adams, were members Of the organiza-
ton.
''Phi Beta Kappa is the Oldest OF the
Greek letter college societies, or fra
ternitIes, and is In fact the progenitor
Of the entire college fraternity sys-
tenn, says statement, according to
the Detroit News. ut was organized
December 5, 1776, when the first meet
ing was held at the College Of William
and Mary at Williamsburg, Va. A few
college societies are older than Phi
Beta Kappa, among them Wing and
.Clio, at Princeton, but none of them
sought to expand by the organization
of similar societies in other colleges
"Phi Beta Kappa began to think OF
reaching out when it was but little
over two years old, and at the celebra-
tion of its third anniversary 1t granted
a charter for branch at Harvard and
four days later another for branch
at Yale"

-TATE'S EYE BILL
is BIG FEATURE
PennsyIUanians Glue Up
81, 900, 900 a Year.

OF mortal features, the eve and hair
have had most publicity.
Until "woman's browning glory" be-
came largely bobbed, 1t occupied less
er place than the eye, and even now
poets and songsters generally devote
pages to eyes where they give lines
| to hair.
John Milton went the limit when he
saw heaven in the eye" No use to
attempt anything beyond that.
But In cold Industrial world the
human eye again plays leading role.
Broken eyeglasses are daily tragedies
multiplied by thousands.
Optician and oculist bills are super
tragedies which invade practically
every home. One Of our foremost ocu-
lists tells me that of Philadelphia
100000 families, not $4,000 escape the
eyeglass writes "Girard" in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
And 1t Is just downright hard luck
that the very thing we prize most we
lose oftenest. In proof of which cite
the nonpoetic reports of Royal Meeker,
our state secretary of labor.
Pennsylvania gets buster all the
time, yet accidents In industry have
been steadily decreasing. But the loss
of eyes grows larger. And industry is
taxed in Pennsylvania each year far
more to pay for eyes than for legs or
arms, feet or hands.
Eight years ago there were reported
In this state 255,OO0 accidents. Last
year only 100000.
To be sure, even the latter total
equaled the list of American wounded
in the World war; But the curious
part is that last year seven times as
many permanent injuries were report
ed as in 1922, and nearly double the
number Of any year in the last eight.
More and better protection in indus
tries prevents general accidents, but
the loss of eyes continues with mex
orable rapidity.
Pennsylvania quotes an eye at con-
siderably less value, when fixing rate
of compensation for it's loss, than 1t
places upon hand or foot, leg or arm.
Nevertheless, industry In Pennsyl-
vania was taxed just short Of 81, 100000
last year to pay for eyes.
The loss of eyes costs an average Of
S1.25 each.
A foot is less valuable than hand,
SO ,$1,700, is paid for loss of the for
mer and $1,000 for the breadwinner.
Arms and legs are about the same
price, $1,000. Due to the far smaller
number of Affections as applied to
hands, feet, arms and legs they all fell
far below the eye in the total money
loss represented.
In eight years our states industries
have paid out under the workmen's
compensation law about S99,OOO,0OO.
That covered more than 10000 fatali-
ties in that period and nearly 100000
lesser accidents.
The eye bill last year was nearly
three times the amount paid in 1915.
In the last decade ! have gone
thoroughly through hundred repre-
sentative Philadelphia industries.

contrast with older days In the guards

Prevention is found not only more
humane but financially much cheaper
than cure, as 1t is in other Ills.

There are many races In India, and
the individuals are as different as a
German Is from a Frenchman, and as
easy to recognize as belonging to diff
ferent races, says Asia Magazine.
Some women wear skirts, some wear
trousers. Some men wear trousers,
some wear skirts. And some wear
neither skirts nor trousers They
simply wear piece of cloth wound
about their bodies.
AS different and numerous as are
their costumes, religions, customs and
races, so are the languages.
The official census records 220 diff
ferent dialects It also shows that
over 100 different languages are
spoken in India. These are not dia-
lects They are absolutely differing
tongues AS different as English and
French. And all these more than five
score languages are spoken in one
country.

Four LoDes That Figure

The psycho-analyst tries to make
son believe that you are not full

sxnression of the loves of the first
three love periods of your life. These
three loves are the reverential love,
tbe chumship love and the mating love.
ON the other hand, / would have
vou continue these loves; cultivate
Them; continually express them, and
giving each its proper place. secure a
balance and harmony Of all the loves.
am not sympathetic with the as
sumption and usual practice of psyche
analysis. 1t ID fascinating but as
wrongly conceived as English as she
"a spoke" 1t is fascinating because
h is mainly concerned In taking hui
man soul apart to find out how it
works, much as little boy takes apart
a clock to find out how 1t runs.
What we need is much less psyche
analysis and more-oh, very much more
soul synthesis.
There are TOUR ulstlnctlVe loves IN
the life of every normal human being
First, the reverential love, which be-
gins with the love Of the child for its
parents.
Second, the chumship love, which be
gins in the child's love for his play
mates.
Third, the mating love, which be-
gins with the dawn Of maturing sex.
Fourth, the parental love, which be-
gins with desire for children and con-
tfnues as the basic love Of family life.
Each of these begins at different
period of the individuals life.
The first fundamental mistake of the
psycho-analysts is this: They con-
slider the period in which each of the
loves begins as the determinant of love
itself. Brown Landone in Nautilus

"Duck boards" is the British name

The boards are generally nailed about
SIX inches apart on sleepers, and,
while they are effective in keeping
one out of the mud, the pedestrian
must watch his step.
