The American Federation of Labor
has taken action warning its affiliat.
ed bodies against these sinister enc
mics. All national and international
unions have been requested to urge
their local unions to beware of such
parasites.
The organized labor movement is
business institution and must dill
gently seek to protect itself against
the corroding influence of the rack
eteer. It's policy is along business
lines and there is no place in its
ranks for the racketeer or CRATER who
would live without working, on the
honest toll of others.
Without doubt some of these rack
eteers and grafters have wormed
their way into the labor movement
and are fattening like teaches on the
graft they are able to suck out of
the bona fide labor unions. Where
they have met opposition and been
refuted by the bona fide trade union
movement, they are working on the
outside crossing and recrossing our
path with their Shiny trail, to the
disgust of all honest trade unionists.
They have no regard for ethics-no
regard for the workers as such, but
like the teaches they are, they suck
to the last drop of blood from those
who trust them, and by threats, chi
canery and force from those who try
to oppose them.
We cannot afford to sit idly by and
see pack of racketeering pirates
cut the throats of honest toilers and
scuttle the trade union ship. They
must be driven where they belong
to the penitentiaries as common
thieves and grafters.

tional Union does not propose to har-
Dor such vultures. Every member of
our organization has duty to per-

Atmospheric Power

The Atmospheric railway was type

the rails. On one side sort of pis-

Ancient Pleasures

One OF the sinful amusements of
the past was horse racing, sport nev-
ertheless, thoroughly enjoyed by our
ancestors for nearly 800 years. Hemp
stead plains, on Long island, had a
natural race course back In 1868. But
the sport which on village streets and
roadways was a hazard, was much
frowned upon, and many towns passed
anti-racing laws, which set as fine
the value of the race horse, as given
by its owner, for racing within one
half mile of where the court is sit
ting" or within eighty rods of the
town pump" In the case of dog fights,
it was merely matter of winning, for
the man who lost was fined five times

JOBS, PAYROLLS
Show Sharp Decline In
December

Washington, D. G. NS)-The
dismal story of increased unemploy-
ment and falling payrolls was again
told by the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics, United States Department Of
Labor, in its employment report for
December
The bureau reported declines of 0.4
in employment and 90 in payrolls
over November.
The survey covered 6S,229 identical
establishments in II major industrial
groups which in December had 4,476,-
531 employees.
Reduction of | g per cent in employ
ment and 2.3 per cent in payrolls
were shown for the manufacturing
group of industries, these changes be-
ing based on reports from 1904 es-
tablishments in 80 of the principal
manufacturing industries which had
2,636,280 workers.
Increased employment was shown
in four of the II groups included in
the study, and increased payrolls

BEING BLUFFED"
SAY WIRE men

Labor and the American people as
, whole are being bluffed in the in
terest of big business, The Journal of
Electrical Workers, official publica
tion of the international Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers, charges in the
leading editorial in the current issue.
The Journal says:
"The American unemployed are be-
ing bluffed. To date, in exactly 80
months of the depression nothing has
been done for the unemployed except
provide a niggardly private dole, ir-
regular in plan and character
"a public works program has
never actually been tried. 1t still lies
upon the books. 1t has been improp-
erly administered, and it is not too
much to say, it has been sabotaged.
"The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration has wrapped itself in remote
dignity, and a cold aloofness from re-
lief problems. 1t has been more con-
servative in granting loans to munich
palities for relief purposes than pri-
vate bankers. 1t has retarded loans.
1t has done nothing constructive, or
reconstructive.
''The need for balancing the budget
has been misrepresented, used as a
fetish to protect shivering million
aires from higher tax rates.
More than billion dollars of the
so-called federal deficit has been
charged up by perverse sort of
bookkeeping, which puts loans to the
r. f. c. in current expense account.
Finally, there are ways to raise new
revenue other than through the sales
tax, but one would not know it from
the caterwauling chorus coming from
the bipartisan press.
'In brief, the serious economic
crisis makes more clear than ever
the character of the conspiracy
against the community which
goes on constantly under the
guise of government for, and by,
big business.
"The American people are being
bluffed. They are becoming aware of
the cards against them, but as yet
they are taking the stand-off, and
liking it."

Long Slumbers Denied
to Coptic "Patriarchs"

One religious Office which seems to
have its drawback Is that Of the patri-
arch of the Coptic sect, whose mem
bers are descendants of the early
Egyptian Christians. Under the rules
of the church, the patriarch, who lives
In Alexandria, must be awakened ev-
cry 10 minutes when he sleeps. That
practice would seem to take some of
the JOY out Of the leadership of any
movement, religious or otherwise.
Around about the beginning of this
century the Copts totaled about one
twelfth of all the population Of Egypt.
They dress like Mohammedans, but
may be distinguished by their blue or
black turbans.
The center of the Coptic population
is around Cairo, although the members
are generously scattered all over
northern Egypt. The young Of the
Copts are highly intelligent and learn
easily when at school. They have
been found to make excellent clerks
and handicraftsmen. They learn their
native language while at school, but
Arabic is the tongue used in their nor
NAL life.
Their religious organization, headed
by the patriarch, includes bishops,
monks and priests. The entire clergy,
excepting only the patriarch, are per-
mitted to be married, providing the
marriage ceremony ia pona through
before the VOWS of holy orders are
taken. Two fast days a week, Wed
nesday and Friday. are observed,
while the fast of Nineveh is a long
drawn-out affair which lasts for two
months.-Washingt Star.

For Cut Glass Vases

Cut glass vases sometimes become
stained badly and the stains are found
difficult to remove. The most effec-
tive method of removing them, says
the Manchester (England) Guardian.
is to use tea leaves which have just
been soaked In hot water. Place the
tea leaves In the vase and fill 1t up
with warm water. Allow the water
and leaves to remain In the vase all
night, when it will be found that the
stain will wash off easily. Should the
stains prove particularly stubborn, a
little vinegar will be found effective.

Theory Given Up
.--WNU Service

Theory Given Up
The idea of the existence Of q con.
tinent Of Lemuria Is no longer accept
ed. The name was given by Haeckel
to vast area assumed to exist In past
ages and including the present Africa,
Indian ocean and Malayan archipel-
ago. The belief was based on the
hypothesis that the existence Of such
continent was necessary to explain
the peculiar present distribution of
the lemurs. However, the discovery
of the remains of lemurs In America
and Africa rendered such an hypothe-
sis untenable.

keep the ranks of our membership
clean, honorable and courageous in
protecting the principles of our
movement. Under no circumstances
should credentials be given to anyone
outside of our local union. If rack
eteers are within any of our local
unions, the general president wants
to be advised Immediately.
We join the American Federation
of Labor in its stand that there is no
room for racketeers and grafters in
the trade union movement, and they
must not be tolerated.

Indianapolis, Ind (ILNS) - En-
ployment in Indiana seems to be get
ting no better fast. The Indiana
Business Review" says total employ
ment for December was "a per cent
below that of November and 1871 be-
low that of year ago.
Building trades are working almost
82 per cent under theoretical normal.
Manufacturers of textile products re-
port employment 113 under Novem-
ber, and SO under a year ago.
Steel mill payrolls keep shrinking
and are now at a new low level. Fur
niture factories report employment
226 under November and 81 per cent
under that of a year ago. Stone mill
and quarry payrolls are far under
normal. Coal mines are operating
only part time and under that of the
previous month, due in part to the
mild weather.

True Sympathy

Passive sympathy or fellow-feeling
is nothing but sentiment; 1t does not
cheer the depressed; 1t does not com.
fort the afflicted; 1t does not visit
the fatherless"; 1t does not clothe the
naked; 1t does not feed the hungry
Genuine sympathy must be active,
real, positive and practical it must
cheer, comfort, heal, clothe and feed.

not itself in deeds of love, then our
christianity is heathenism, and our re
ligion a delusion AMI sham. ID. +.

HEALTH TOPICS
(By DR.. William E. Miller)
BLOOD POISON FOLLOWING
INJURIES

The correct name for blood poison
following injuries is infection of the
wound. In scientific language it is
called septicenlia. 1t means that at
the time Of the injury or at later
time pus-forming germs have entered
the wound and are growing there.
Pus-forming germs are all about us
on the walls, floors, clothes, skin and
in the air. Whenever the skin is brok-
en- they try to enter the body at this
point. Once germs enter the wound
they grow and multiply and produce
poisons, which not only irritate the
wound but are also absorbed by the
blood Thus these poisons cause chills,
fever, headache, loss of appetite and
other symptoms.
Blood poison is a very serious dis
ease and is nearly always the result OF
not cleaning a wound or injury as soon
as it is received. 1t is best to always
have wound or injury thoroughly
cleaned by some one who is trained IN
this work There are some cases when
it is impossible to completely clean a
wound and infection results after it
has been cleaned by an experienced
doctor. These cases, however, are very
few and far between.
The first sign of infection is pain,
heat, redness and swelling. Later, IT
the wound is not properly cared for
chills, fever, headache and other signs
develop
Whenever you have wound have
it properly treated by an experienced
person as soon as the wound is received

IN MEMORY OF MY DEAR HUS-
BAND, REVEREND w. &. RAMSEY

On the 30th day Of September at the
hour of 900 a NJ, as the sun was
peeping in the windows, the soul of
my dear husband left this world of pain
and sorrow and scared to its eternal
resting place, heaven. 1t was budded
on earth to bloom in heaven. 1 cannot
understand why God took my husband;
but God never makes mistakes. He
was confined to his bed only one day.
He seemed SO much better on Saturday
morning that we were hoping he would
soon be up again. But God said he
must come home and leave all sin and
suffering behind, so he fell asleep in
the arms of Jesus to await the coming
of the resurrection of our dear Lord.
Everything was done for him that
could be done, but death mightier
claimed its victim Death is dreaded
by every one, but l know my husband
welcomed it because of the ease it
rave him, for he suffered no one knows
how much.
He always wore a smile 1t is SO hard
for me to give him up We only lived
together twenty-three months, each
day happy.
Gods word tells us that all things
work together for good to them who
love the Lord" We know it's true,
vet how hard to be separated from
those we love so dearly. He cannot
come bace to us and ives not have him
to. but some day when our labors are
over we can go to him.
Sleep on, dear husband, and take
YOUR, rest for your labors here are end
ed. We will never cease to miss you
or love you, but you are happier with

Los Angeles, California, preached a
soul stirring sermon, Sunday night,
Oct. 18th, at one of our city churches
A packed house was present to witness
this wonderful sermon delivered by
Rev. Holden.
Rev. Holden had his listeners to
know that God so loved the world
that He gave his only begotten son that
whatsoever believed on Him should not
perish, but have an everlasting life.
At the conclusion of his sermon he
stated that life is a risk to run.
