WHAT Is 4 HABIT?
BY DIR. ID. 4. Thorn

Habit is such common, every
Gay sort OF term. with which every
one Is more or less familiar, that il
hardly seems necessary to discuss Il
at all. However, it is in this very
faet-that habits are 50 commonplace
and ordinary in the minds of the great
mass Of individuals-tha the danger
lies. All too frequently the funda-
mental Importance of forming right
habits in early life is minimized OF
overlooked altogether.
Without any attempt TO give a
strictly definition, it may be said that
habit is the tendency to repeat what
has been done before. One develops
not only habits of acting but habits OF
thinking and feeling in certain ways
Habits in regard to the care of the
body-eating, sleeping, eliminating
bathing-are easily formed and vitalls
effect health. Our manners are col.
lection of habits; we do a rude or a
courteous thing almost without stop
ping to think If we did not leran the
musculr movements which become
habitual through repetition we could
never play the piano, run a typewrlt-
err, or gain skill in athletics. OF
course, children must learn the sim
pier motions frst--the use of knife
and fork, the buttoning of buttons,
and the tipping of knots. The morals
of most of US are, to large extent,
the result of habits of thinking
formed in early life-our attitude
toward the drinking of alcoholic
liquors or the taking of others prop
erty, or the problem of sex, as well
as our attitude toward other people,
whether sincere or deceitful, frindIy
or antagonistic. Most of our pre-
judices are the outcome of habits OF
thinking formed in childhood. Many
persons as children develop a feeling
about racial and religious differences
which may lead in later life to into-
erance and hatred toward their fell
lowmen. This same attitude of mimi
is seen in children toward their play
mates who have the misfortune of be-
ing orphans, or the child whose moth
er is a scrubwoman, or whose father
is a garbage collector, or who Is
boarded under the care Of child
placing agency. Care should be taken
to see that children are early taught
kindness and consideration for those
less fortunate, for unconsciously they
will form their attitudes from the
home atmosphere.

Controversial Matters
Adjusted During Week

During the past week the following
adjustments of matters in controversy
were reported:
Clothing WOrkers-Boston on, Mass
An adjustment of an interesting case
at Boston has been reported. The
parties concerned were the Trlmouat
Clothing Company and the local union
of Amalgamated Clothing Workers.
The company maintained that because

union they were unable to operate
at a profit, and arrangements were be-
ing made TO move their plant to
Philadelphia, Pa. 4 meeting was
arranged between the company otft-
Gals and the international officers Of
the union, to be held in Philadelphia.
This meeting adjourned to meet agai1
in Boston. Piece rates satisfactory Il
both parties were agreed upon, to-
gether with certain other adjustments
in working conditions, and the COM
pany has now agreed TO continue
operations in Boston. Upwards OF
500 workers were directly affected.
Carpenters-Nashua, n. H.-The
strike of carpenters, who had asked
for an increase from 80 cents to 81

Departments representatives and
Mayor L. d. Sargent of Nashua ar

ing parties. A compromise agree
ment was reached which allowed the
men 95 cents per hour. Thus tle-up
of building operations in keene and
Portsmouth, n. H., on jobs let 10
Nashua contractors, was prevented.
Ice Cream Drivers-Chicago, ILL.,
A lockout of ice cream drivers was
brought to a end after a one day
strike. These men demanded an IN
crease in wages and a six-day week.
The conciliator who handled the case
reports that adjustments were made
in the wage rates satisfactory to the
men. and that the siX-day week was
made optional. In all, about l,ooo
men were affected.
Carpenters = Portsmouth, OHIO. =
The carpenters strike at Portsmouth
has been settled through negotiations
conducted by the Departments con-
ciliator. Demands had been made Tor
an increase from IS to SO per day.
The settlement provided for an in
crease of 81 per day on all new work,
old contracts to be finished under the
old rate.
Building Trades - Chicago, Ill.
Refusal of union building trades
craftsmen to work with non-union men
brought about a strike on the great
produce market in the course of cree
ton in Chicago. Nearly 1900 men
were directly affected by the strike
and 800 additional workmen were
involved The trouble, which began

Fooled Ry BABY Talk.

St. Paul, Mimi, May 26-on-the-
fence friends of organized labor N
this city are acknowledging that they
have been fooled by the citizens ALI
ance pretense for its so-ealled open"
shop. Trade unionists insisted that
the purpose of the alliance is to de
strov unionism, and that it is not
truthful when it claims it will make
no discrimination between organized
and unorganized. These unionists de-
clare that the purpose Of the alliance
is for workers to assume a trusliul
attitude toward it, and the alliance
will then do the rest.
The friends" Of organized labor
are waking up. They now see that
the professions of friendship are a
pretext to lower wages.
