An0Iers' Patron Saint

Fishing has produced tremendous
literature. The most famous work on
the subject is the "Compleat Angler"
by Izaak Walton, Which was first pub
lished in 1853. 1t has been read and
enjoyed by thousands of persons not
in the least interested In obtaining
information of the piscatorial sort.
The "Compleat Angler" is delightful
idyll.
It's author was so revered that the
cottage In which he lived was pre-
served as q museum down to q short
time ago, when fire destroyed It.
Only the objects of historic interest
of the interior were saved.

Iron Chin"
Now Has Counterpart On
The Atlantic

By international Labor News Service.
Montreal.-The "Iron Chink," the
automaton which revolutionized the
salmon canning industry on the Pa
cific coast and extinguished numerous
jobs, has its counterpart in a machine
of German invention recently intro
duced into the fishing industry of the
Atlantic coast. This mechanical con-
trivance takes into it's NAV cod, had
dock or silver hake, automatically ad-
justs its various parts to the size
and shape of the fish, removes the
entrails and peels off the skin, be-
heads the fish, splits it from end to
end and takes out the backbone, turn
ing out product ready for the fresh
fish market or for salt curing. This
split and naked product may be run
into an auxiliary machine which turns
it out in filet form. The filetting ma
chine costs several thousands and
will do the work of six men,

Build a Radiant Temper

How's your temper? If it is not
good do not blame heredity, environ
ment, your family, associates or
God. Blame yourself. And having
located the center of responsibility
within, go to work to build temper
so radiant and noble that you will
be the marvel of all who come into
contact with you, your life will be
symphony of celestial music, your
friends legion, your influence spread
afar, your happiness secure, your
peace unsullied and your success as
piring and assured.-Henry Knight

BRICKLAYERS QUIT
Department After COnven-
ton Acts

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. Returning its
charter, the Bricklayers, Masons and
Plasterers' international Union has
withdrawn from the building trades
department of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The action is said to be sequel to
the action of the departments Los
Angeles convention which sustained
the ruling of it's executive council
to the effect that the July general
strike in Baltimore was legal.
That strike was called by the Bati-
more council, with which the brick
layers local union was not affiliated,
on some forty-three jobs. On one of
these jobs marble mason, member
of the B. M. & P. l. u, had done
some work setting artificial marble
pillars. The Baltimore council con-
tended the member had no right to
do this work and called a general
strike on all jobs where B. M. & P. l.
U. men were employed. The B. M. &
P. |. U. contended the member had
right to do the, work and contended
further that the strike was illegal.
President McSorley, of the depart
ment, sustained this contention, ruled
the strike illegal and the men return
ed to work. The Baltimore council
appealed to the executive council,
which overturned the McSorley rul-
ing. The convention agreed with the
council.
1t is pointed out that the depart
ment is in the position of ruling to
support an alleged decision of the
national board for jurisdictional
awards, while the department has
withdrawn from all relationship with
| that board.

OUR NEXT PROBLEM
By A. H. PHILLIPS

The most important issue confront
ing the labor movement today--and
one which is sadly neglected-is the
enormous powers that exist in the
higher courts.
These powers have come about, not
by legislative enactment or by the
will of the people, but through usur-
patton on the part of the courts them
selves.
And this is violation of the consti-
tuition.
The constitution does not give the
courts the power to make laws or
to declare them constitutional or un-
constitutional, but merely the power
to interpret them. Making laws is
the function of the legislative branch
However, since the days of John
Marshall, this practice has been SO
established. that it goes unchallenged
To drive home the importance of
some drastic action along this line
let us consider the effect that supreme
court decisions have on legislation
favorable to the laboring class.
Take the child labor act for in
stance: This measure, after being
passed by both houses of congress
and signed by the president, was de-
clared unconstitutional by the U. S
supreme court. This, too, was actual
ly accomplished by one member. The
vote stood four to four, but an ad.
verse vote by the ninth man was more

powerful than all the members of con-
gress and the president combined
This is too much power in the hands
of one man, especially one who is
appointed to the bench for life.
Then, the men generally appointed
to these places are of the type that
yield to the demands of certain groups
desiring specific benefits.
Corporations, who care to exploit
the worker, need have no fear of labor
legislation so long as they have cut
and-dried courts to sustain them with
injunctions; to declare favorable la
Dor laws unconstitutional and intimi-
date workers with threats of impris-
onment. Against such obstacles our
labor victories at the polls vanish into
thin air.
But what is the remedy?
The remedy lies in the same direc-
ton as that of all other questions per-
tanning to our law-making machinery
with the people.
When the voters make up their
minds to elect representatives to con-
gress and to the state legislatures
who are in favor of curbing these
powers, then will they be on the road
to more just and equitable scheme
of Jurisprudence.
The executive and the judicial
branches of our government are vir-
tually handmade Therefore, the only
voice the people have is in the legisla-
tive. But if it's work is invalidated
by supreme court decisions, where do
the people come in? Where is de-
mocracy?

POPULATION GAIN
266,809 in Year From Immi-
grafton
BY International Labor News Service.

Washington, D. C.-The population
of the United States was increased
by approximately 266,809 alien men,
women and children as a net result of
immigration during the fiscal year
1927, according to preliminary data
from the United States immigration
bureau. This figure represents the
difference between the number of
aliens admitted and those who de-
parted. Aliens legally admitted num-
bered 335,175 in 1927, as against
1886 who emigrated from the
United States.
The net result of immigration in
1927 was greater than in 1926 when
the excess of immigrants over emf
grants was 227, ,496 persons.
Population gains of the United
States from immigration were highest
in 1924 when the net increase was
630,107 persons.
The net gains for the last eight
years show the results of the immi-
grafton restriction law which limits
the numbers of aliens who may be
admitted each year from all foreign
countries except those. on the North
American continent.

Liked His Boots Long

J. L. Deaver, wholesale merchant
at Knoxville, Tenn, is proud of the
fact that his father, G. E. Deaver,
made boots for Stonewall Jackson,
the 'thunderbolt of war" in the
Confederate armies. General Jack
son, he says, would not wear boots
unless they were made an inch or
an inch and half longer than his
feet. The Confederate leader al
ways said he wanted his boots to
be SO long that he could see his toes
without STOPPING over.

A Married Sheik

Dear Miss Lee: For one year have
been going with young travelling sales
man who makes, our town every few
often told me that he loves me. He never
said anything about marriage, but I
thought that he would some day.
But this week. I met girl who comes
from the town that he lives in, and Miss
me? She told me that he was married
man. and had two dear little children.
She said that his wife was a nice woman.
and no one ever heard of any trouble
When I told him all this, he did not
his wife. but he said that he loved
me. too. I tried to hate him but I Simply
could not. I am sure that I can. never
love anyone else. What shall ID 71s DO?
You are mistaken when you say
that you could never love anyone
else. That is what>you think now;
but you will get over this blow,
never fear. The more you think
this thing over, the less you will
think of the man whose life for one
year has been a living lie, What
sort of a father is he? What sort
of a hu(9and? He was not even
honest as a lover.
You loved what you thought he
was. Now that that image has van
ished, your love will cool. Give your
self time to get over this shock
You will find happiness with some
other and better man, I know.

ELECTRICITY IS THE

BY ANN ALYSIS

Among the preparations which
have come into considerable vogue
at present as hair remoVerS are the
so-called wakes, which are in reality
resins rather than wax. They are
heated, an dapplied to the affected
surfaces, where they are allowed to
remain till almost cool, when they
are removed by a quick jerk. The
hair which is imbedded in the wax
comes off, and remains off till the
hair grows out from the roots again.
The safety razor is a mechanical
means of removing superfluous hair

Electricity applied for several
minutes to the affected surface, sew
eral inches at a time, is relied upon
by some people to free them from
unsightly hair. This method requires
several treatments before the hair is
definitely loosened from its bed.
Electricity, conveyed through a
needle to the hair root, kills the
roots in cases treated this way. This
method has the advantage of def
nitely and finally killing the hair
and so must be considered the best
of all. This operation, as well as al,
the others mentioned, causes irrita-

cold cream will generally arrest OF
