ADVENTURES
1.-THE TWINS

Suddenly the Twins stopped fall
ing.
And Mister Havalook, their travel
ing companion, stopped falling, too,
when they did.
But nobody got bumped. II was
just as though they had stepped out
of an elevator that had come to a
standstill.
And there they we're in Hidy Go
Land, the place where everything
goes when you mislay it for day or
two and cont remember where to
look. for it! Particularly dolls.
well, did you finally get here %
asked a cottony voice as Mister Hav-
alook stopped to put on his enormous
spcctaclcs and fix his car-trumpct in
place again.
"Ycs, hut don't ask foolish qucs-
tions, please!" said Mister Havalook
picking his bundle up off the ground
where he had laid it. "Don't you
see that I'm here. or do l look like
somebody else? Who are you? You
must have arrived in my absence"
"Can't you sce?" asked the person
with the cottony voice. "That ques-
ton is as foolish as the one | asked
YOU"
mo, can't see with my glasses
on, said Mister Havalook. That's
why l wear them. So can't see
things. When l see things l get
worried and when get worried l
can't think and-Oh, say, you don't
happen to be a laundry man, do
you?"
The Twins looked to see how the
other person was taking this.
Indeed. the person with the cot
tony voice was no other than Timber
Legs, the cloth doll who was half q
doll wide and doll and half long.
He had red painted hair and long
red nose, and long red chin. His
arms dangled and his legs dangled
and his joints were so loose you felt
that he was likely to lose part Of
himself at almost any minute. 7
Laundry mani" he exclaimed.
"Do look like one? Don't you sup
pose If were that would starch
myself? That's what came here for.
To see If couldn't pick up back
bone. I'm tired Of being tied in dou-
BILE knots by the children"
"oh: ! see; see!' said poor wor-
ried Mister Havalook, taking off his
pet away again. "You wish toi be
stArchcd! But speaking Of starch.

Somewhere! Now where was it?",
| II said that / couldn't do starching

"That was it," cried Mister Haya-

THE Sailors strike" in New York
L City, in 1902, was probably the
first in America. The sailors demand
ed of the ship owners an increase to
$14 a month instead of SO. They
quit work and paraded in streets
with band, inducing their shipmates
to join the procession. The constabIes
turned out, arrested the leader, locked
him in jail, and put a summary end to
the strike under the conspiracy stat.
ute.
Thirty-fve years later this conspir-
acy statute was bitterly assailed in a
labor pamphlet which said 'The laws
have made it just a meritorious act
that capitalists shall combine to strip
the man of labor of his earnings,
whereas if mechanics (workers) COM
bine to raise wages the laws punish
them as conspirators against the good
Of society, and the dungeon awaits
them as it does the robber."
The first victory of the workers
against this law was won in the IA
nous "Journeyman Bootmakers' case"
in Massachusetts in 1912. The prose-
cution brought against the bootmak-
ers' union, under the old conspiracy
laws, was then decided in favor of the
defendants.
THE first labor representative to the
L United States congress was elect
ed during Jackson's second admins
tration. His name was Ely Moore,
president of the General Trades
Unions of the City of New York, in

DROBABLY the first labor organ
L ever printed in the United States
was the Workingmans Advocate,
which began publication in 1925 by
the Evans brothers. This publication,
after a few years, gave place to the
Daily Sentinel, and this, in turn, to
the Young America, which last printed
at its head the first American labor
platform, consisting of twelve de-
mands, as follows:
First. The right of man to the soil.
Vote yourself farm.
Il Second. Down with monopolies, es-
pecial the United States Bank.
Third. Freedom of public lands.
Fourth. Homesteads made inalien-
able.
Fifth. Abolition of all laws for the
collection of debts.
Sixth. A general bankrupt law.
Seventh. A lien of the laborer upon
his own work for his wages.
Eighth. Abolition of Imprisonment
for debt.
Ninth. Equal rights for women with
men in all respects.
Tenth. Abolition of chattel slavery,
and of wage slavery.
Eleventh. Land limitation to one
hundred and sixty acres; no person
after the passage of this law to be-
come possessed of more than that
amount of land. But when a land
monopolist died his heirs were to take
each his legal number of acres, and
be compelled to sell the overplus,
