her own troubles for a change. At that she broke
out crying on my shoulder and said her beloved
son had married girl she did not like, who was

whiskey when returned.
About 10 days later when took the children

the bottle and asked the latest news the woman
broke out crying again and sobbed: "Oh lady, it's
worse than expected, it's twins" I managed to
hold back my laughter long enough to give her
some money and advise her to get good and drunk
and forget her troubles.

QUEBEC PREMIER
Warns Against War On
Labor

Quebec (ILNS) of or
ganization among workers to protect
their legitimate interests must cease,
Premier Maurice Duplesis told dele
cation representing the international
unions of Quebec province. The dele
cation was headed by R. M. Draper,
president of the Trades and Labor
Congress of Canada.
Premier Duplesis referred to the re-
proach frequently brought against the
province of Quebec that in many cases
workers there received much lower
wages than their fellows doing SINH
lar work in the same industries in
other sections of Canada. This also
must, and will, cease" he added.
The premier did not intimate how
he would keep these promises. He,
however, warned that all labor organ
izations should keep within their spe-
cial sphere, lest they be drawn into
politics and be used by communists
to spread dangerous theories.
The delegation submitted the draft
of bill to provide positive protec-
tion of the right to organize, and sug-
gested the appointment of an official
with magisterial powers to deal with
violations Of all labor laws.

Strike Advertising

1T is an old axiom of consumer ad-
vertising that you cannot successfully
advertise a product that is inherently
poor. You may get away with it for
a while, but in the long run the public
will find out.
"The same thing holds true Of ad-
vertising labor policy. If the labor
policy is essentially rotten, no amount
of advertising can make it smell
sweet. Thus, in some of the labor
situations, the companies would have
been far better off had they not tried
to resort to advertising because every
message they printed did more harm
than good, revealing as it did in black
and-white the essential weakness of
the labor policies that the manufac-
turers were trying to defend.
Therefore, the first lesson that
past experience with strike advertis
ing should teach is that if the labor
policy is not right, advertising, no
matter how skillfully prepared, can't

Plus the finish Of growth of prop
erty laws
Trouble with property IS
Unless it is used, somehow, it gets
to be nuisance
But different kinds of property
must be used differently
That's what makes them more val
liable, and worth while
Property which the owners cannot
possibly use themselves
Must be used by some other human
beings
Whereupon the skill of the users
becomes part of the property value
Which has been claimed, success
fully, by the title owners
Until some of the users began to
rub their eyes
Seeing that their skill was useless
without the property
Just as the property was valueless
without the users skill
They suddenly proposed to make
their claim to an interest
In the property, the control Of
which controlled also their skill
Whereupon, there arrived the per-
ception of new property relation
Which the writer's of the constitu-
ton knew nothing about
Because the law expressing that
relation had not been written
So, what could poor judge do with
that claim of the users?
He could only enforce the law that
was on the books
While the users of machinery
pointed to living law of use.
