all valuations from those fixed by

Maine Institution
For Blind Seeks
Larger Stipend

The Maine Institution for the
Blind. located at Portland, is seek
ing for each Of the two fiscal years,
1926 and 1927, an increase of $272O
over the appropriation granted by
the State for the fiscal years of 1924
and 1925. The total amount asked
Tor during each Of the two coming
fiscal years according to it's estimate
just filed with the State budget COM
mittee is $18.72O.
The estimate OF weekly per capita
cost has been increased from 81 to
IS. the reason given being the need
for more funds with which to carry
on the work since 1t is impossible to
give the blind the care they need on
what they have been receiving.
The increase in the appropriation
sought Is due to the increase in the
number Of inmates and the greater
per capita cost
Other Estimates Filed
The Trull Hospital Aid Association
at Biddeford requests the sum Of
$500 as its appropriation from the
State for 1926 and 1927 respectively.
as compared with $500 for the fiscal
years 1924 and 1925.
The Weber hospital at Biddeford
is asking the same amount as before.
$4,000. for each Of the two coming
fiscal years.

much coal is shipped in as is pro-
duced by the mines of those states.
It is shown by publicity and paid ad-
vertising that the miners of these
states would be in position to work
virtually full time if coal consumers
should decide to burn their native
coal, whereas no wonly a small frac-
ton Of the miners employed are
working and then only two or three
days a week at the most.
1t is poined out that the miners
pay taxes and buy all their products
at home, and that it would be good
business to provide them with steady
work. In addition busines smen of
all kinds would profit by spending
their money at home in view of the
fact that the local product is as good,
or even better, than the coal shipped
in.
District officials of the United
Mine Workers have been urged to CO.
operate with operators and others in
inducing people to buy home-mined
coal and thus make business better
for everybody.

Mr.. Eckert always took a keen
interest in the affairs of his union.
On Monday night the members Of the
Machinists' Union assembled at the
labor temple and repaired to the home
of the deceased and view the remains.
The large turnout of the machinists,
the largest in many years, attests to
the popularity and esteem held for
the dead trades unionist by his fellow
unionists.
A sad incident of Mr.. Eckert's
death is that he passed away just nine
days after the death of his beloved
wife. The relatives Of these two well
known and we'll liked old people have
surely been sadly stricken, and the
deep sympathy of organized labor and
of the entire community goes out to
them in their bereavement.

SOCIAL LEGISLATION
Urged IN Tennessee Covers
Wide Field

Nashville, Tenn.-Organized labor
in this state is preparing to urge
its legislative program at the forth
coming meeting of the Tennessee
general assembly. The federal child
labor amendment is given first posi-
tion, and every effort will be made to
elect sympathetic governor and leg
islature.
s'It is goregoing conclusion that
the ratification will be vigorously op-
posed by those Tennessee employers
who coin dollars from the sweat and
blood of childhood" said David Han
ly, legislative chairman of the State
Federation of Labor.
'The women's organizations as well
as the labor unions of this state
should arouse themselves and see that
no person is elected to the governor
ship or to the legislature who is not
in favor of this amendment" said Mr..
Hanly.
Another important proposal is the
compensation law amendments that
will bring the Tennessee act in line
with modern thought. The outstand-
ing defect in this act is that it is ad-
ministered by the courts. This makes
compensation settlements slow, COM

COMMUNIST WOLVES
URGE RED" BLOCS

Chicago.-The communists are now
openly advocating revolutionary blocs
in the trade unions. Prior to their
fiasco at the so-called ST. Paul
''farmer-labor" convention the COM
munists posed in the unions as ad-
vanced progressives. This policy
has failed and the communists have
increased their woes by political blum
ders. They have now changed front,
In statement, "No Alliance With
Reactionaries," the Moscow-directed
crowd, through their trade union edu-
cational league, order wherever pos
sible, that revolutionary candidates
be run on straight T. U. E. L. pro-
gram" This means a revolutionary
bloc in every union, where it is safe
to take such action.
New York.-At meeting of exec
utives of Hebrew trade unions in this
city, called to discuss the obstruc-
tive tactics of communists, it was
declared that because of their secrecy
their staged protest meetings and ac-
cusations, the communists are great
er menace than profession al strike
breakers. 1t was declared that the
communists are acting as if they are
in the pay of anti-union employers.
| 1t was further brought out that the
political activity of the communists
is a money shake-down plan to fool
their superiors in Moscow as to ar
approaching revolution in the United
States.

about Little Black Cock-but he did
not stop growing.
One morning while he was making
his best efforts to crow loudly Grand
father Cock came strolling out of the
chicken house. You annoy me-" he
said. Tapping his wings several times.
What are you trying to do-sneezeT
Il can crow just as well as you
can," replied Little Black Cock, in q

This answer amused Grandfather
Cock SO much that he stopped flap
ping his wings. "Prove it, my young
fellow. Come to the top of the stone
wall and Ii you can crow louder than
l you shall be proclaimed cock Of the
walk and l will give up my title"
Up to the top Of the wall they flew,
while all the barnyard folk gathered
around to listen. Grandfather Cock
tapped his wings three times and
crowed.
Oh! what crow 1t was. 1t must
have been heard for miles around the
countryside.
"There now, 1t Is your turn" he
said to the Little Black Cock.
Little Black Cock began to feel a
little scared, for he knew that he
must crow louder than ever before to
even crow as loudly as Grandfather
not to think Of beating him.
He puffed himself until he was
filed with air, then solemnly tapped
his wings three times and began to
crow. Louder and louder he crowed
Even Grandfather Cock felt a bit nerv-

PERSONAL RIGHTS

There are two classes of thought
in this matter of personal rights.
One class believes that men have
certain rights from the very fact that
they are men; that all states exist to
conserve these rights; that no state
has the power to infronge them or
take them away. This is the doctrine
of the Declaration of Independence,
the constitution and the first amend
ments known as the bill of rights.
The. second class holds that men
have no rights except such as they
receive from the state, and what the
state has given, the state can take
away. This is the doctrine of both
the imperialists and bolshevists.-
The Leader, San Francisco.
