The report advocates more educa-
tional activities in the union as a
means of arousing interest and de-
creasing pessimism. Regarding the
company unions, without offering any
alternative course, the report main
tains "the question at issue here is
not one that should be decided by con-
flict unless employers force that
course"
A number of jurisdictionai disputes
are mentioned, chiefly in the Building
and Metal Trades, under the Econom-
ic section of the report. Follows a
chapter on the Reorganization of
the International Fur Workers Union,
+" The international was re-or-
gained, new officers elected, in full
sympathy with the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and will support its
policies. The control of the organiza-
ton has been taken from the former
Communistic officers of the New
York Joint Board"
The report indicates that last
years resolutions to Organize the I'M
organized" remains on paper, as no
results were mentioned. Green esti-
mates that 10000 workers in the
United States are working under the
40-hour week, not including the Ford
factories.
Memorials Not So Good.
Memorials such as the Samuel
Gompers Foundation, Woodrow Viii

fund-collecting is made to the unions

enemies of the primaries, and urges
more people to vote, and raise the
percentage above 500. The A. F. OF

manent relief for the Mississippi
flood sufferers, and for modification
of the Volstead Act.
The Executive Council reports tt

Gold Discovery in
Philippines Means
No Hope of Freedom

MANILA, Oct. 4.-Another reason
Why deaf ear is being turned to all
proposals for greater self govern
nent, to say nothing of the long
promised independence, for the Philip
pine Islands. has become apparent to-
day.
= Some time ago a gold strike of con-
siderable richness was made in the
old mining field around Benguet, 100
miles from Manila This fact was kept
secret until the American company
could buy up all the stock in corpora
tions owning this field, and until the
political situation quieted.
1t is now admitted that during the
last two weeks ore valued at $685.
100000 has been mined, and that six
hundred feet deep in the earth there
is body of ore of unknown size, as
saying $500 to the metric ton. The
mining properties are protected by
heavily armed guards and fortifica-
tions,. fronted by barbed wire.

10rnla LABOR PreSS says, The very
important subject of craft versus in
dustrial unionism may be well venti-
lated in the convention of the A. F.
of L. If the delegates could be broad
enough to accomplish such a desirable
end for the labor movement, it might
not be long before the Railroad
Brotherhoods would make similar ap-
plications, thus giving us united
movement and much-needed new
blood. The Amalgamated people
never seeded from the A. F. of L.,
but were thrown out during the war
hysteria days of 1914 under the cry
of reds To an outsider the cause
of the unfortunate split seems to
have been the usual demand for
more up-to-date methods by the
rank and file and hard boiled re-
fusal by the reigning officialdom. "
This paper which comments on craft
VS.. industrial unionism is the organ
of the local building trades, which
are constantly in the midst of juris-

have found better use for that
hair brush; but that is merely a
suggestion.
1t is only storing up trouble for
your child when you permit him
to get the idea that his wishes
are paramount to everything else.
The world. and especially the
juvenile world, will find keen pleas
ure in knocking that impression
out of his head.
In every school there are pupils
who are constantly in trouble
because they imagine they are
exceptions to the general rule. In
every business house there are
men or women who have the
erroneous idea that the regulations
and the requirements which apply
to others were not meant for
them.
Such an attitude is a handicap
to any man. woman or child. And
the lack of early training is usu-
ally responsible for this particular
delusion.
Children deserve better training
than that. They should be made
to understand that their wishes
are not paramount, and that those
who learn self-control and respect
for other people have fewer hard
knocks than the other kind.

by Cornelius BeeckmanI
AZ Infor1naI INTERPOLATION

An Informal Introduction
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Your articles on Good Man
ners" are certainly appreciated in
this home and have been a great
help to me.
/. My husbands father and
mother are coming to De for .
visit. Both are quite elderly. How
shall I make the proper introduc-
tons to our friends2
3. When pickles and elves are
served at dinner after q cocktail
and soup, how should they be
eaten?
s. Are the small coffee spoons
to be used at all meals?
4. Should bread and batter
plates be used at all meals, except
for formal dinners?
ANXIOUS-T o.KNOW.
VoU made me very happy by
4 your charming comment, and
am very appreciative Of yeuF
kind words. Thank you, dear
friend.
/. When you introduce the
father and mother of your hug-
band, you might say to your close
friends, for instance, Mrs. Allen.
this Is Toms mother and to less
close friends, Mrs. Underwood,
this il my husbands mother
In family introductions Of this
kind, it is best to make them as
informally as possible, and there
fore, unless it is necessary. not to
mention the last name. However,
it is not incorrect to add the name,
IL you wish. You can say, This
is Toms mother" with much
charm and Difference that makes
the introduction a very impressive
one. By the way, to no one ex-
cept a servant, would you say,
This is Mr.. Aliens mother" A
wife, as you know, refers to her
husband as Tom" to her close
friends, or MY husband to those
whom perhaps she does not know
so well. But never as "Mr. Allen"
except to servants and tradesmen.
2. In the fingers. And olives
should be 'nibbled." That is, they
should not be put into the mouth.
This avoids the necessity of taking
the olive pit from the mouth.
3. Small coffee spoons are used
with the after dinner coffee cups.
Teaspoons are, of course, used
with the breakfast coffee, and, IT,
large" coffee is served for lunch
con or dinner informally, Of
course), either teaspoons or five
o'clock spoons are placed with the
cups and saucers, the choice de-
pending upon the size of the cup.
4. Yes. The bread and butter
plate is placed above the tip Of the
fork on the left on the plate, on a
line with the water glass, which is
placed on the right above the tip
of the knife. On the top rim,
parallel with the edge Of the table,
is the butter spreader. That is, it
should not be placed carelessly on
the plate, nor in diagonal line,
for such placing destroys the SYM
metry of the structural lines of
table setting.

Observe Rule S
In Cutting
Weight
BY Maria Jeritza
Prima Donna of the metropolitan
Opera Company, and One Of
the Most Beautiful Won.
en of the DAY

en- of the Day
NyHE vanishing American has
been defined by a certain hui
nprist as the fat woman. Ger
fsfnly. women who are actually
TAT are rare exceptions these days.
Among the throng Of lovely,
symmetrical, wholesome Cooking
women one meets on the streets
Of every American city or town
there are doubtless more than a
few who were stout, but have
taken reducing measures with
such success that they have be-
come a different and distinc-
lively lovelier type.
In most cases the fat woman
who has become slender will tell
you that she feels much better
than she did before losing her
ten or twenty or thirty pounds
reducing has been attempted by
unwise and unscientific means,
results are not so good. In fact,
more than one woman has under
mined her health and ruined her
appearance by trying to become
too thin too quickly.
Standard measurement tables
are usually compiled from fig.
ures ascertained by life insurance
companies from insured women.
For this reason, they give the
normal weight of healthy women.
You will not II you are wise try
to reduce beyond what you should
weigh at your age and height,
according to these tables, which
can be consulted at. any public
library and are usually contained
In books of hygiene for women.
Another method of finding
what you should weigh is to d.
vide your weight in pounds by
your height in inches. If your
weight averages over two and
one-half pounds to the inch. 1t is
excessive, adding nothing to
your mental and physical eff
cency and detracting from your
appearance. Your remedy Is to
choose your food more wisely and
burn up excess fat through siren
nous exercise.
Do not try medicine or salts for
reducing unless under the direc.
ton of your physician. In fact,
It is unwise to try any extreme
reducing measures such as sami-
starvation, except under a Dhysi-
clans advice. For you may en-
danger your health, your appear
ance and your very life through
trying remedies of which you
know nothing.
But you can always be care
ful of your diet and live a more
active life physically. provided
you are in normal health. And
slowly this sensible system of ex-
ercise and diet will melt away
excess fat.
Certain foods. even though fat
tening. should be partaken of In
moderation because they are so
nourishing that they build up
your health, strength, vitality, and
clear beauty of complexion. Milk
is such food. If you take 1t at
luncheon with little else" as, for
instance, a bowl of crackers and
milk or a gluten sandwich and
glass Of milk. it will not prove
fattening. And your system needs
milk.
I do not advocate going without
breakfast, but I suggest a non.
fattening breakfast, such as glu-
ten crackers, orange juice. and
black coffee or clear tea.
