Governor Seeks Higher=Ups
In Petition Fraud,
Lorain, Ohio July 18.—Governor
James M. Cox, speaking at the
Perry Centennial celebration here
Tuesday, attacked the interests in
which he said weie behind the move
for a referendum on the Green
workmen's compensation law.
The purpose of the State, he de
clared, it to secure the arrest of the
"higher-ups" in the wholesale for
gery of names to referendum peti
tions, and asserted that interests
behind the legislative bribery
scandels in Columbus two years ago
are concerned in the fraud now
being uncovered.
"There never was an infamous
plot hatched that some poor devils
were nat hired to carry it out," he
said. "We are more interested in
getting the crowd that did the hir
ing than the unfortunates now un
der arrest.
The truth is that for many years
legislative scandels have left their
trails in Cleveland. The Attorney
General was convinced that certain
interests in Cleveland were involved
in the legislative bribery two years
ago. In the referendum frauds
now we have scarcely begun inves
stigating, but the same old names
are given the Attorney General.
"The present plot to make a
travestry of the referendum was
hatched in Cleveland and its initial
perpetiation was given over to
members of the old Cox organiza
tion in Cincinnati.
"It is higely important that fi a-.d
and perjury be prosecuted, but we
are impressed with the necessity of
revealing to the people of this State
the interests that for years have
been disgracing the commonwealth
"We have never feared the result
of a referendum on the Green work
men's compensation law. Any
man knowing the temper of the
people admits that. However, the
referendum shall not be fraudently
invoked. This referendum shall
not be thrown out on any technical
grounds, you can depend upon
that."

Labor Day Committee
Arranging For Parade And
Outing.
The Labor Day picnic committee
met Thursday night in Trades
Council hall and transacted a vol
umn of business for the big parade
and outing.
Both of the local bands have been
engaged for the parade. Charles
Vaughn was selected Grand Mar
shal, John Few and Edward Etzler
were selected as assistant Grand
Marshals. The committee appoint
ed at the last meeting to go to
Middletown and invite the labor
unions «f that city ta Hamilton to
take part in the celebration, report
ed that the central body of that city
accepted the invitation and prom
ised to be here. They asked for a
division in the parade.
The amusement committee re
ported that they have asked the A.
L. Due Fireworks Company to
send a man to Hamilton to meet
with the committee, and other
amusements are under way.
A committee was also appointed
to seeure samples and prices on hats
and caps and to secure samples and
prices on hats and caps and to sub
mit same at the next meeting.
The Grand Marshal asked that
all unions appoint their Marshals
at once and send in their names
immediately. Next meeting will
be held Thursday, July 24.
BOOST THE LABOR TEMPLE.
The tickets for the Labor Day
picnic are out and every union man
is requested to purchase one ticket
and sell one to some friend. The
object of the Co operative Trades
and Labor Council is to start a fund
this year to build a laber temple.
Now is the time to line up and
boost the labor temple by boosting
the picnic.

The Canning Industry.
Washington, July 18.—Canner
ies have the distinction of employ
ing a larger proportion of children
than any other kind of manufacture
except the three textile industries,
cotton, hosiery, and silk. Accord
jng to the recent Census Bulletin
on Canning and Preserving these
cannery children numbered in 1909
more than 11,000, but the national
child labor committee questions
whether this is not too low an es
timate. The Census Bulletin re
ports 175 cannery children for New
York State, but the New York
State factory investigation commis
sion last summer found 1,259 child
ren actually at work in the canner
ies of the state. The national
child labor committee says further
that there is no other manufactur
ing industry employing so many
children under fourteen years, be
caus^of the common exemption of
canneries from the child labor laws
it is significent that New York,
second only to Califoania in the
value of its carnery products, has
now forbidden the employment in
canneries of children under four
teen.
Clay Workers Organize.
Boone, Iowa. July 18.—The
workmen employed by the Boone
Brick, Tile and Paving Plant have
organized a union and are on strike
for a raise in wages. The wages
at the plant have been $2 and $2.25
per day, an.d the union is asking
that this minimum be raised to
$2,25 to $2.50 per day. It is as­
Tr- on"

i dc
mmtsem
serted that the employers are will
iug to grant the increase, but hesi
tate at entering in an agreement
with the union. An interesting
feature of the strike is that the
company brought in Italians as
strike-breakers, but upon the strike
breakers being informed as to the
capacity in which they were being
used, all quit leaving the company
without any workmen. The Hod
Carriers and Building Laborers
have also organized a local union,
and will seek an increase in wages
in the near future.
Winning A Victory.
Baltimore, July 18.—The ma
chinists who inauguarated a strike
in this city for the purpose of es
tablishing the eight-hour day, are
making good progress. A large
number of the shops have acceded
to the demand, and other shops are
signing from time to time. The
eight-hour day in these settlements
is to be reached by reducing frac
tion of hours at different periods,
the eight-hour day to be effective
on May 1, 1914. The Metal
Trades' Association, which has
been fighting the Machinists, is
daily losing its effectiveness, and
employers are breaking away and
signing the agreement. The mini
mum rate of wages has also been
raised from $2.75 to $3 per day,
this being added to the reduction in
working time.
SECRET OF A LONO LIFE.
You sometimes see ft women
whose old age is an expuisite as
was the perfect bloom of her youth.
You wonder how it is her life has
been a long and happy one. Here
are some of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disa
greeable things.
She kept her nerves well at hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came
to her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and
did not believe all the world wicked
and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discour
aged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age
has come to her, and there is a halo
of white hair about her head, she
is loved and considered. This is
the secret of a long life and a happy
one.
A Spy in Camp.
Birmingham, Ala., July 18—The
Labor Advocate states that a man
giving his name as Frank C. Mueler
claming to be an organizer of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway employes,
wormed himself into the confidence
of several union men and organ
izers and then used the information
to secure the discharge of a number
of the employes on the traction sys
tem. At the time this pretended
organizer appeared efforts were be
ing made to organize the street car
men, and conferences were quietly
going one with a number of the em
ployes. Fineally Mueller strongly
advised that the attempt to organ
ize the men be abandoned. This
created suspicion and when several
men were discharged the scheme
became apparent. An organization
was formed, however, but was fol
lowed by a lockout. Evidently
Miller is engaged in a similiar ca
pacity in other sections of the
country, presumably under differ
ent aliases. He is described as a
German. It is further recounted

Besides all of its joys and the

this week, Thursday, Friday, Sat

of twenty, who handles a Wright
biplane with great grace and skill,
and A. C. Beach, the sensational
English birdman. Beach is driving
a biplane in which is set the gyre
motor used last summer by the ill
fated Paul Peck when he was killed
in Chicago. Also a part of the bi
plane he is using is that used by
Peck last summer. Wright con
trols, however, have been fitted to
this machine instead of the "uni
versal guiding apparatus employ
ed by Peck.
Amalgamation coming.
Philadelphia, July, 18.—The
breach among the street carmen,
which resulted in the formation of
a duel union, is about to be healed.
A joint meeting has just been held
the members of both organizations
being in attendance. Plans were
proposed whereby peace can be re
stored between the contending or
ganizations and the men reunited.
Leaders of both of these organiza
tions admit that the split among the
carmen has been exceedingly dis
asterous and the men themselves
now realize that there is only room
for one street carmen's organiza
tion in the citp of Philadelphia. In
all probability the time is not far
distant when a single compact un
ion of street carmen will be an es
tablished fact in this city.
New Anti Trust Bill.
Washington, July 18.—Senator
La Folette has introduced a bil to
amend the Sherman Anti-Trust
Law to provide that when any per
son, firm or corporation is held
guilty of restraint of trade the bur
den of proof to^stablish the reason
ableness of such restraint shall be
upon the defende.it. It further
provides that any concern control
ling more than 30 per cent of the
business of the United States in
any commodity would be barred
from claiming reasonable restraint.
One of the most radical provisions
in the measure authorizes the court
upon the preliminary or final es
tablishment of the existenance of
an unreasonable combination to fix
the price at which the monopolized
article shall be sold.
Would Bar Child Labor.
Washington, July 18.—A pro
posed Federal child labor act has
been introduced by Representative
Copley of Illinois. The bill would
bar the employment of a child un
der 14 yeare of age in any mill,
cannery, workshop, manufacturing
or mechanical establishment or of
a ehild under 16 in any coal mine,
coal breaker, coke oven, quarry or
in any establishment where danger
ous acids, gases or dyes are used or
the work is dangerous or injurious
to health or morals. The bill, if
enacted into law, would require the
Secretary of Labor to prepare, clas
sify and make public a list of all
such business or industries and
would prohibit their products to be
given initial transportation by any
carrier of interstate commerce, im
posing heavy penalties.

mill Men dot Increase.
Granite City, 111., July 18.—The
men working as heaters in the tin
mills and as matchers in the sheet
mills, secured an increase in wages
amounting to 5 per cent for the
scUe year, beginning July 1. All
other workers in the hot mill de
partment received the same rate of
wages as last year. While the
wage scales have been agreed to by
the national Enameling and Stamp
ing Company this firm has not
signed the contract and is holding
back to await settlement with other
so-called independent companies in
the East, but it is deemed certain
that no wage controversy will take
place here.
Qala Half Holiday
Portland Oreg., July 18.—The
Metal Workers of this city have
secured the half holiday after a
long and patient effort. Hereafter
the shops will close at noon Satur
day, giving the men a full half
holiday before Sunday. A num
ber of employers were willing to
grant the concessions some time ago
but it required all to make the
movement successful. This advan
tage cannot but be appreciated, as
it means a long step in the direction
of the shorter working week.
For Signal System.
Washington, July 18.—A bill
designed to make compulsory the
use by every railroad of safety
appliances and signal systems ap
proved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, has been introduced
in the House by Representative
Roberts of Massachusetts.
IB Machinists Qet Short Day.
Toledo, July 18.—The Toledo
Machine and Tool Company has re
adjusted its working hours. Nine
hours will be the rule five days a
week, with a Saturday half holiday.
Time and a half will be paid for all
work over the fifty-hour week. A
strike at this plant was iminent.
but after several conferences an
adjustment was secured. "The ma
chinists are much pleased over their
successful efforts in reducing the
working day one hour per day
without a strike.

Carpenters Have Won.
Toronto, Can., July 18.—The
Carpenters' strike in this city,
which involved approximately 3,000
men, is practically over some 2,700
men having returned to work at the
union minimum scale of 45 cents
per hour. The remaining 300 men
are rapidly finding employment ow
ing to increased forces being put
on by fair employers and the se
curing of additional settlements.
The commissioner of the City's
Department of Works has recog
nized the new scale as the prevail
ing standard and given instructions
that all Carpenters ia the employ of
the city be paid 45 cent minimum.
Horseshoers On Strike.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 18.—The
Journeymen Horseshoers of this
city and vicinity are on strike, ow
ing to the fact that the Master
Horse Shoers refused to even con
fer with the union representatives
relative to a wage scale.
Must Obey Law.
Denver July 18.—A construction
company engaged in sewer work
in this city has been violating the
eight-hour law and the minimum
wage scale. The city attorney has
held that no contractor will be per
mitted to violate the ordinance
which requires that no contractor
doing work for the city shall work
his employes longer than eight
hours per day, and pay the mini
mum wage of $2.50. The city at
rney further avers that no con
actor will be permitted to violate
aese terms, whether they are spe
i frcally written in the contract or

HIS QUEER SENSE OF HUMOR.
It Found Relief In Practical Jokea
Upon the Clergy.
Some thirty odd years ago a young
man came to New York from England
(I have forgotten hia name), and for a
year or so he posed as H~very ardent
churchman. He had a mania which
seemed to be the making of trouble
for other people, with no particular
object except that and certainly with
no advantage to himself, as he very
naturally remained "incog.
As illustrative, he would send "out a
hundred or more postal cards address
ed to as many different plumbers in
New York, asking them to call on a
certain day. at a given hour, at the
residence of the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dlx.
rector of Trinity church. Another
time It would be an army of bakers,
and so on. On one ocas ion he sent in
vitations to a dozen of the clergy to
fline with Dr. Dlx on a given date.
Imagine the good doeror's consterna
tion when his unexpected guests ar
rived!
One of his bits of "funny" work, In
which he used the name of the late
Bishop Jaggar. was as follows: Dr.
'Cornelius P». Swope was the vicar of
Trinity ehapei, in Twenty-fifth street,
at the time, and Dr. Horatio Potter the
bishop of New York. Dr. Dlx had be
come so exasperated as hardly to
know what to do, and one day he went
to consult Dr. Swope and to ask his
advice as to what could be done, tak
ing with him one of the cards that he
had received. On looking at it Dr.
Swope sn id:

Dear Cornel—It Is rumored out here that
you would like to be a bishop. If this Is
true please let me know at once. I have

New York became rather too "hot"
for our friend shortly after that, as the
police got on his track, and he disap

tricks in Pittsburgh, I think, where he
was exposed, and I don't remember
what became of him.—Rev. Dr. W. W.

Books From Unexpected Placet.
Not only art, but literature, has been
produced in unexpected places. There
was, for instance, Robert Bloomfteld,
who produced his "Farmer's Boy"
while working so hard as a shoemaker
(in a garret with five or six others)
that he frequently had to carry a hun
dred lines In his head through lack of
leisure to write them down. James
Hogg, too. "the Ettrlck Shepherd,"
wrote his earliest verses while tending
his sheep in the Perthshire highlands.
And Taylor, "the Water Poet," com
bined the very different offices of
literary man and Thames waterman.—
London Chronicle.
The Third Hand.
How often the little things In life
make impressions that linger in our
memories long after the larger events
are forgotten! Several years ago I was
making a visit in u family where there
were several daughters. One of the
girls brought a hat into the sewing
room one morning and prepared to
trim it. Before doing anything else
she took a hatpin and pinned the hat
firmly to her skirts at the knees, so
that she had both bands free and held
the ribbon and flowers in place with
her left hand, while she sewed them
with her right—Philadelphia North
American.
Diamonds and Glass.
The diamond. Instead of being a real
solid, is u uiubs ol' atoms all in rapid
and violent motion. The edge of the
stone is formed of thepe moving mole
cules as well as the body. Now, glass
is also made up of moving atomg,
though they do not move so rapidly or
so violently as (he diamond atoms.
When the diamond edgt, therefore, is
applied to the glass surface the dia
mond atoms drive the glass atoms ont
of the w.iv aiid for e a passage.
