The Telephone

Elizabeth was three years old and,
what is more, Elizabeth, like most
small girls, was very fond of games
of make believe" Her latest delight
in the realm of fancy was "playing
telephones" a game of which she never
grew tired.
Her grandmother was well aware of
Elizabeth's fancy and one night, when
the little girl was proving obstinate
about going to have her bath, the old
lady thought she would try little
strategy.
Grandmother (hoding one end of the
toy telephone) Is that Eliza

Cleansing Uses for Corks

Old corks can be used in many
valuable ways. Spots and blemishes
on windows will nearly always disap-
pear if rubbed with a dry cork. Moist
ened with turpentine it will remove
marks from white glaze bricks, and
rust spots on metal give way to cork
dipped in parafiin: spots on linoleum
by cork dipped in gasoline. Burnt
marks on pie dishes and plates will
vanish if treated with a cork dipped
in wet salt.
An effective foot warmer for cold
winter nights may be made by cutting
corks into small bits, filling flannel
bag with them, and heating for ten or
fifteen minuteS.-Southern Pharma-

Toll CT London Fogs

According to one authority, says
Popular Mechanics, a single London
fog may cost more lives than pitched
battle. The period of the greatest
prevalence of the dense mists is in De-
cember. with the other winter months
not far behind At this season of the
year the death rate from lung diseases
reaches its height. The heavy, mois-
ture-laden air aggravates such mala-
dies, the lack of sunlight reduces phys
ical resistance and illness frequently
results from chills caused by the damp
ness Mental depression is considered
another harmful effect.

ment with their employers, the union

In st. Paul, Mimi, Locals 81 and
81 have made a settlement with the
Fur Manufacturers Association. The
employers have agreed to the prin-

agreed to take up the question of a
wage increase at the opening of the
new season. The settlement affects
about 600 furriers.

which ignores the constitution and without sanction of either

1t significant fact that the Injunction issued in labor
disputes is always directed against the working people strike
against the employer That indicates quite plainly that

citizens against the interests of another class Of citizens and is
thus foreign to the and intent of both the state and

The injunction denies the defendant working strike

BY The Way

Strange how little the nation is
moved by the fate of 81 coal miners
lost in an explosion at Sullivan, Ind,
in view of the way in which it was
stirred by the tragic fate of Floyd
Collins, Kentucky cave victim.
Horrible as was the death of Col
Inns, it did not compare in cumula-
tive horror with the death of the 81
miners, who leave behind them grief
stricken mothers and children, won
dering bitterly who is to pay the rent
and provide food and clothing, now
that the bread-winners are gone.
The nation hung breathless on the
fate of Collins for weeks, while the
newspapers devoted uncounted col
umns of space of his predicament and
the vain attempts to rescue him. 1t
is true that his fate was long I'M
known and the element of suspense in
the case was prolonged until the very
last, but it is commentary on hu-
man nature that his strange imprison-
ment should have stirred so much in
terest and sympathy, while the fate
of the Indiana coal miners should
have been regarded so much as a
matter Of course by the newspapers
and the public at large.
Evidently the nation has come to
think of horrible disasters as almost
inevitable in coal mining. OF course,
this is not so. Coal mine disasters
can be largely prevented. Once the
conscience of the nation is aroused to
demand an end to mine slaughter,
miners will be safeguarded, despite
all efforts of greedy mine owners to
obstruct safety work.
The arousing of the national con-
science, to the end that miners shall
no longer be sacrificed on the altar
of profits, is a task worthy of the
best efforts of organized labor and
humanitarian forces in general. AS
long as the national conscience. per-
mits mine slaughter to continue, the
United States can hardly be called a
truly civilized nation.

Do you know that

Do you know that
The Child Labor Amendment could
not result in the States reaching
into the home," as some. of the
amendments enemies are charging?
The Federal Government would be
given no power that State govern
ments do not already possess; many
State laws affect in one way or an
other the labor of children up to IS
years Of age, and yet it never has oc-
Cured to anyone that our States are
reaching into the home by their leg
islatior. That Congress is any more
foolish or any worse than State legis-
latures has never been demonstrated.
TIC the contrary, it has a better all
around record Of economy and sense.
There is a further false analogy
with the eighteenth amendment. That
amendment laid down a clear and
definite prohibition, and Congress had
no option in enforcing it. The
twentieth amendment orders nothing;
it is merely a grant of power, which
may be used as Congress sees fit.

with pay for Office workers and other
intellectual" workers has long been
recognized, but it is only recently
that the view that industrial work
ers are also entitled to holidays with
pay has been making progress.
OF recent years and especially since
the war, annual holidays with pay for
all classes of workers have become
increasingly general. The tendency
towards their adoption is shown
chiefly by Legislation and collective
agreements. An article on this SUBJ
ject appearing in the current num-
Der of the International Labor Re-
view gives a survey of Legislation on
the subject.
At the present time holidays with
pay for all classes of wage earners
are compulsory by law (enacted since
the war in each case) in Austria,
Finland, Latvia, Poland, and Soviet
Russia. Holidays, generally with
pay, are also made compulsory for
certain classes Of workers in private
employment by legislation in Aus
tria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Fin
land, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Spain, and Switzerland. Some of
these laws were passed before 1918,
but most of them since that date.
Before western influence penetrat-
ed China, the great social questions
which nowadays distract the indus
trial countries Of Europe and Amer
lea were unknown. It was only when
large ports began to be opened to
foreign trade that the modern eco
nomic system was introduced into
China.
Concurrently with this change,
whole series of complicated problems
unknown before began to arise and
to become urgent. Questions such as
the cost of living, wage rates, hours
Of work and hygienic conditions, al
so, the idea of the association of the
workers and of trade unionism came
up, and strikes began to take place.
The trade unions found form Of
organization already to hand in the
old corporations and clubs. The first
trade unions appeared on the southern
coast. Thence the movement spread
to the interior along the great trunk
lines.
