Advertising Brown

ST. PAUL, March 22.-Three mem
bers of the International Labor De-
Tense were attacked distributing leaf
let's advertising the lecture which
Bishop William Montgomery Brown
is to give at the Labor Temple on
Saturday evening, March 26th.
Distribution at one of the masses
at the st. Agnes Church had been
completed, when the distributors were
told to discontinue and not to return.
One of the priests had come out and
was excitedly gathering up the leaf
let's that had been given cut, crying:
Don't read 1t, you will go to hell If
you do"
Priestly Mob.
The distributors then left for the
81. Vincent Church to carry ON the
same work. It was here after a par
tial distribution had been made, that
the distributors were attacked, and
forced to run for many blocks, fol-
lowed by a mob. Returning for their
car, they wee again attacked. The
affair resulted in a near riot.
At another church, the distributor
had his leaflets destroyed and ordered
not to return, under threats Of bodily
injury.
The local committee is at a loss
to know why this opposition should
take place as there was nothing in
the leaflet that was provocative. 1t
merely contained a short history Of
the life of Bishop Brown and an in
vitation for all to attend at his lee
ture, at 8 p. m, March Goth, at the
Labor Temple, 4l0 N. Franklin Street.

KUL0K SHOP is
STILL STRUCK,
HUNTING SCABS

The Kulok shop, 90 Eldridge street,
New York. is still struck. II is at
tempting to run with scabs, and the
small quantity Of goods produced is
taken down to the floor below where
1t is put on sale in the company's own
retail store. IL is said that even class
conscious workers, not realizing that
the company is struck and these goods
are scab, have bought articles there.
The strike started several weeks
ago, because workers were fined by
Beckermsn for attending a left wing
meeting. The force revolted, and
went out on strike; the strike has been
vigorously maintained ever since, in
spite Of attempts by right wing gang
sters to break It up.

BY ROBERT MITCHELL

The 1905 strike had been an object
lesson Of underhand methods and dou-
bic dealing on the part Of the Inter-
borough officials There is hardly
any doubt that to some extent the Of
ficers Of Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers ard the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION were deceived by these tao
tics. Yet no complete justification
can be given them for their desertion
Of the strikers and deliberate break
ing Of the strike. Their association
with the open shoppers and labor
haters in the National Civic Fedora
ton is no less inexcusable.
Open Shop Notices.
The true designs of the Inter-
borough must have become apparent
to them when as a final blow this
company posted its open shop notices
and broke the union. The conclusion
is unacceptable that these union Of
ficers ultimately realized the charac-
ter of the marlborough methods. That
they failed to take account OF these
methods as capable leadership is ex-
pected to, is the red thread which runs
through the days leading to the 1916
strike.
Bitter Years Follow.
The years which followed the 1908
struggle were indeed years of bitter
defeat for the men. The miserable
wages which they received and the
fearfully trying conditions under
which they labored have already been
pictured.
Intimidation, suppression. fragrant
and unwalranted dismissal unduly
long suspensions color these years.
The cost Of living in this period was
steadily rising, yet until the year 1910
their wages remained fixed at the
same starvation level.
These were the years when the
workers of other trades thru the
heroic struggles of their organized
forces were beginning to exact
measure Of their created value from
the exploiting class. Yet the unor-
gained traction workers were, like
Alice in Wonderland, finding it neces-
sary to run ever faster to remain in
the same place.
Welfare Dope.
In place of granting a living wage,
the company adopted the newly
created system of doping" workers
with welfare" injections. The COM

have been made, as a matter of policy,
by Lewis with all possible outlying

compelled to work thru the strike of
the central competitive field. But the
spirit Of the union men in Western
Pennsylvania is high, and in spite of
handicaps, the rank and file Of the
miners are determined to win this
strike. The wages of the Pittsburgh
Coal Co.'s scab mines are too low TO
live ON.
The district affected by the strike
now threatened on April / has been
in the past the scene Of desperate
conflict between coal companies and
miners under progressive leadership.

pectcd lines, progressive leaders will

Great Statesman Fond
of His Little Joke"

Playing practical jokes was ia.
v0rite diversion of Otto Won Bismarck
after that German statesman had
turned his back on public service and
was farming at Kniephof. His guests
now and then underwent strange and
startling surprises. One day while he
was chatting with his fair cousins in
the drawing room, the door suddenly
opened and four young foxes rushed
in, jumped on the sofas and tore the
upholstery to tatters. Even male WIS.,
itors had need of steady nerves, for
1t not infrequently happened that
when they had fallen asleep, soothed
with comfortable nightcap lined
with porter and champagne, they were
startled suddenly from their slumbers
by a staccato Of pistol bullets striking
the ceilings above their heads and
bringing down showers of plaster up
on them. Once when one Of his hunt
ing companions became stuck in bog
and begged Bismarck to pull him out,
Bismarck said it was hopeless to try
and that he had better be mercifully
shot. Suiting action to the word he
aimed his shotgun at his companions
head, but it proved unnecessary to
skill" him, for the unfortunate man
made such frantic and desperate
struggles to escape that he rescued
himself.-Detroit News.

Gaue Thrifty Farmer
Lesson in Reverence

A country minister, who has keen
sense of humor, tells of this instance.
1t was in the hills of Pennsylvania
and farmer noted for his thriftiness
and industry asked the minister to
come out to his place on a certain day
to marry him.
When the minister arrived at the
designated time he found the farmer
in his work clothes and bare feet,
blowing, and leaving his team stand
ing in the middle of the field he ap-
preached the minister. At the same
time the bride, likewise no more gayly
CARRIED, approached the pair.
The minister asked the groom If he
had not better tie his team before
the ceremony began.
Co." replied the man, ut won't take
long, and they will be all right"
The minister thought he would give
the man good lesson in reverence
and so he chose the longest service he
knew and prolonged the prayer to al
most endless length. Needless to say,
the neglected team had in the mean
time plowed a furrow that was not
consistent with careful farmers
rule, and the minister enjoys his little
joke to this day.-Chicago Tribune.

Mention of Petroleum
in Biblical Records

Although as commercial propo-
sition in western civilization petrO-
leum may be said to date from 1859,
when Colonel Drake "struck lie" at
Titusville, Pa, the substance has been
known and used from time immemo-
rial.
Biblical history records many in
teresting incidents of the use of oil,
for instance, in the account of the
building of the tower Of Babel (Gen.
1873 we read "slime had they for
mortar" and that great historian,
Herodotus, writing about the year $50
B. c., speaks of the use of bitumen
in building the walls of Babylon, fact
confirmed by recent excavation work.

In later times, about 615 A. D., jap
anese writings contain numerous ref
erences to Burning Water; China
also records the use of mineral oil,
and the ancient Egyptian rites Of en-
balming were carried out with the aid
Of "Mumia" or pitch (Coptic).

Many Odd Forms of
Home Sauinps Banks

From Manila comes direct evidence
that the Filipinos believe in growing
their. own coin banks. The two most
popular forms are section of bamboo
with a slit and firmly sealed on both
ends, and the other is a carefully hol-
lowed and polished coconut. The bam-
boo bank is called an "Arkancia" and
the coconut 'Tabo." Both are pretty
good at defying the attempts of chill
dren to get at the contents, because
they are very difficult to break.
Although coin banks are not widely
used in the Argentine there is one
form which serves a double purpose,
particularly in the interior Of the
country. This Is an artistically deco
rated gourd which though primarily
intended as a receptacle for tea drink.
ing is sometimes converted into coin
bank. The tea drunk in the Argentine
Is known as mate" 1t Is slipped from
the gourd by means of a metal tube
called 'Bombilla." The gourd Of tea
passed from one to the other at table
is considered a gesture of real friend
ship and regard.
Dolls and animals, attractively col
ored, are very popular as designs for
children's coin banks in France. Singa-
pore uses no design typical Of that
section of the world, the favorite re-
ceptacle being a tin can with a slit at
the top.-EXchange

Some Figures Lie

Figures don't lie; you can prove
anything by statistics, according to
a New York statistician. We wish the
professor would provide us with the
figures that prove $3.50 is too much
for a piece of felt with a feather in
it just before Easter. Among
the early Greeks the wearing of
breeches was mark Of slavery. But
now the ladies are starting to wear
the breeches, and if they're slaves
then Nero was a cousin of Uncle Tom.

Ocean Bottom Lifted
by Internal Upheaual

Can you picture folding Of the
earth's crust strong enough to lift,
in the space of 25 years, an area the
size Of Greater New York to a height
of 1000 feet? Such an enormous up
heaval took place recently in the At
lantic, according to Popular Science
Monthly, and was discovered by mere
accident.
twenty-five years ago submarine
cable was laid across the Atlantic
ocean, passing near the British island
Of st. Helena. When laid, the cable
rested on the bottom of the sea, about
14,760 feet below the surface. Recent
ly, when it became necessary to repair
the cable, it was discovered that part
of the sea bottom had been lifted more
than 1000 feet, which brought the
cable within 5000 feet Of the sea
level.

Electricity to the Rescue

Visitors to the cathedral of Milan
never fail to admire the beautiful red
tinted AFRO marble decorations Of the
Baptistery chapel. This famous mar
BILE was beginning to run short a
year or two ago, although the demand
for it is always growing.
The director of the quarries per-
suaded the engineers to supply him
with electricity from the water-power
of Tessin, close by, and electric saws
now slit the marble into much finer
pieces than could be made by the
handsaws worked by the quarrymen.
The result is that facings with the
Arzo marble are actually cheaper than
before, and trade centuries old has
been saved.

"Needle Ice"

The federal division of agriculture
engineering says that needle ice is one
of several names given 10 the invis-
ible crystals or minute particles Of ice
which form when moving water has
sufficient velocity to prevent the forma-
ton of surface ice and the tenn
perature Of the water is 80 degrees
Fahrenheit or slightly less. 1t does
not form under solid surface ice, but
forms in open water when very cold,
windy weather, particularly at night,
favors the radiation of heat from the
water mass. Needle ice may be carried
long distances by currents, both in
open water and under ice cover, and
often collects in large and more or
less compact masses or jams.

Umbrellas as screens against the

East from very remote times. They
appear conspicuOusly in ancient AS

they seem to be an insignia of royalty.
AS protection against the rain, they
were first used in England by women
only in the reign of Queen Anne. Jo-
seph Hanway, of London, appears to
be the first Englishman to brave ridi-
Guile by using an umbrella.

Head Adapted to Habitat

The bureau of fisheries says that the
shape Of the head Of the halibut fish
is quite different from other species,
as its shape conforms to the depth
at which it is found. This fish is
elongated and rather thick in form
and lies on its left side, which is white,
while the right side, uniform dark
brown in color. with very small smooth
scales. is uppermost and bears both of
the large eyes. The capacious mouth
is symmetrically placed, as also are
the ventral fins.
