WILLIAM ORCHARDS
Pioneer i'm Miners Union,
Dies at sc

By international Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, William G.. Rich
ards, an international organizer for
the United Mine Workers of America,
and one of the founders of the pres
ent union, died at his home in Colum-
bus, Ohio, May 26 and was buried on
the 28th. He was 66 years old.
Richards was delegate to the first
convention ever held by the United
Mine Workers at Columbus in 1890

since then, usually as delegate. Pre-
viously to the organization of the
United Mine Workers Richards was
active in other trade unions then
pioneering their way. At one time he
was vice president of the Ohio min
ers and had been associated with the
union in various other official capaci-
ties, including the United Mine Work
ers' Journal as an advertising repre-
sentative. His funeral was attended
by officials of the Internationl Union
and many other trade union repre-
sentatives.

SCIENTIFIC" LAW
FACES COURT ATTACK

Washington.-A New York firm has
asked the United States supreme
court to pass on the legality of the
flexible tariff provisions of the Ford
ney- -MacCumber tariff act of 1922.
Under this section the president has
power to change tariff rates, on rec
ommendation of a commission. When
the act was approved it was hailed
as the last word in Scientific tariff
legislation" It's friends insist that
costs of production here and abroad
could be ascertained and tariff rates
would then be adjusted to changing
conditions.
The glowing predictions of friends
Of the act have not been verified. OPP
ponents insist that the law is uneon-
stitutional on the ground that con-
gress alone has the right to set tariff
rates.
The act is the first Of its kind in
the history of this country.

AS Told by
Irwin S. Cobb
TIME FOR ALL THINGS

TT WAS an irate farmer of the old
fashioned type who sat him down.
pen in hand. and wrote an indignant
letter to a concern which made a spe-
cialty of selling plumbing supplies on
individual orders to rural patrons.
81 have got kick TO make"-thus
the farmer wrote early last spring
your agent came through this district
taking orders for your patent porce-
lain bathtub Some Of the neighbors
give him their names and so nothing
would do but that my wife and daugh-
ter should have one for our house and
they kept after me until l give your
man my name, too, and told him to
send me one Of his tubs
We'll, that was In the early part of
April. April passed and also May and
no sign of that bathtub. So I wrote
to you telling you to hurry on up and
deliver me that there tub. Nothing
was done and so June went by and
July and then August.
And now here, when it's the mid
die of September and the bathing sea

SOME MUST Toll
WHILE MANY PLAY

By international Labor News Service.
New York.-Never was such an
exodus as that which took place in
the city of New York over Decoration
Day 1t included city and suburban
dwellers alike. Half the population
was on the move, mainly to the open
country and the shore resorts. Only
those who couldn't afford to pick up
and go somewhere remained at home.
And these were few because for
nickel one can. ride 20 miles to the
finest beaches in the world.
There remained some workers at
essential tasks. While the millions
were playing, fully 100000 out of
the metropolitan mass-the subway
workers, engineers of buildings,
powerhousemen, and the milk men
remained at their tasks. Other work
ers transferred themselves to the
country, there to provide FOOD and
shelter for the great migration. The
pilICG uelyo VI pIOcioQAI WSlC OWN Vi
and then the drift went the other way,
the roads thick with traffic as the
hustling city dwellers went back to
their homes of steel, stone and brick.
Two other great holiday seasons
impend. Next month the Fourth of
July celebration Then two months
and the great Labor Day events. All
these are significant of the growing
leisure and ease of American life.
When millions can take off and enjoy
themselves it is a tonic for national
life. That millions are able to do
this is Que to the high productive
capacity of American industry.
But while others play, millions upon
millions keep the trains, the public
utilities, the waterworks going. They
are the essential workers, the key
men that keep the machine running,
idling perhaps, but running while the
great majority take a few days off.

OVERTIME IS.
OPPOSED BY
UNIONISTS

Middletown, Ohio.-"Don't accuse
the worker of seeking overtime at
excess prices when he demands the
fve-day week." writes John Donlin,
editor of the Plasterer and former
president of the A. F. Of L. Building
trades department.
Mr.. Donlin points out that workers
agreements are always against over
time work, but the words Except in
emergency" are added by employers
and interpreted according to their in
terest.
"The workers who favor strict al
herence to standard wages and stand
ard hours, with no overtime, are over
whelmingly in the majority" said Mr.
Donlin.

Decisive Battles

War college historians say that OF
the thousands of battles and engage
ments fought in the United States in
five wars, only six were really deci-
sive. Two were in the Revolutionary
war the surrender of the British Bur
goyne at Saratoga, bringing about the
definite intervention Of France in ia
vor of the American colonies, and the
surrender of the British army by
CORVALLIS at Yorktown, ending the
war with England
The historians skip The War of 1872
the Mexican war and the Indian wars.
says Capper's Weekly, and find the
next four battles resulting in far
reaching effect politically, were those
of Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chicka

brilliant operation of the Union Army

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
ACTS OF KINDNESS
By F. A. WALK E n

IELPING the weak over rough
places, being patient with the
dullards, encouraging the despondent,
aiding the poor and needy, placing
flowers by the bedside of the Ill and
smiling as you go down the path Of
life, are little acts of kindness which
brighten the niche of world In which
you live, and go long way toward
making happiness.
A kindly look understood often sets
sad hearts to singing and praising.
A few well-chosen and softly spoken
words become luminous when the
days are dark and dresry.
Each soul knows more than can be
uttered each Graves sympathy and af-
.fection though outwardly 1t may show
no sign of It's hunger.
Smile upon time-worn man or
woman and see the joyous light fash
In the sunken eyes and an answering
smile quiyer on the thin lips
You have touched the right key and
the music of love thrills each hapless
being. The sweetness In the smile
may last for many days, tighten sor-
rows and smooth cares long after you
have forgotten the kindness that cost
nothing to bestow, save the thought
that prompted 1t.
And there Is another side to this
In the fact that you are preaching the
gospel of friendship more touchingly
and eloquently than the pulpit. get
ting closer to hearts and stirring
deeper emotions.
A grain of friendship is often all
that Is needed to keep nations from
war. The progeny Of grain OF wheat
feeds the whole world.
The basis Of human happiness lies
in little things, in little acts Of kind
ness, whether spoken or understood
Such acts have a language Of their
own requiring no interpreter other
than the glance of an eye or the curve
of q lip.
But how many Of US use this dl
vine language as we elbow our way
through the crowded streets and ir
the market places In quest of gold
unmindful of the starving thousand:
around US?
Let but the thought arise, whc
would not stop to do a little act 0,
kindness In the season Of lilies wher
great organs throb and gladstone
choirs burst into songs of praise which
reverberate from pole to pole anc
wing their way to the sky?

- peratedly, ITS silly to say that
you don't know whether you like Hal

When they appeared in Halls car

Hal In his fur coat and with his hat

Edith as matter of course, and Tes-
sic listened 10 their merry talk and
frequent laughter with a pang OF
envy. Edith was lucky girl.
The huge throngs of enthusiastic
people, the excitement of the game
and the brisk and sunny day put them
