FLAG DAY
SERVICES
To Be Held By Eafcles On
Armistice Day Next
Tuesday
Butler Aerie No. 407, Fraternal
Order Eagles, is making elaborate
plans for the Flag Day services to be
held in the high school auditorium on

At the annual grand lodge convention
of the Eagles held in August, it was
decided that Flag Day services be
held by all subordinate lodges, and
hat Armistice Day shall be the day
on which these services be held.
The local lodge has secured Judge
Clarence Murphy to deliver the ad
dress and a splendid musical program
has been arranged. The Flag Day ex
ercises are really to commemorate the
signing of the armistice. The pub
lic is invited to attend the services.
SOUNVADVICE
Given New Union By Labor
Editor
Fresno, Cal.—The recently organiz
ed Fruit Workers' Union, which has
made remarkable progress, is given
this advice by Editor Carnine of the
Fresno Labor Leader:
"In spite of your wonderful success
—or rather because of your success
you will now enter upon the pei'iod in
your career as a labor union which
will try your metal.
"Open opposition from employers—
organized or unorganized—is an easy
thing to meet and overcome, com
pared with those sinister undercur
rents which will now appear in your
own ranks and which will precipitate
upon you issues which must be square
ly met.
"All other young organizations have
had to meet these issues. You cannot
escape. They are inevitable.
"These dangers may be clas^iiie i
under three heads:
"1. The well-intentioned, hut poorly
informed member who talks much but
thinks not enough
"2. The ultra-radical who would
warp the true mission of your union
to fit his economic or political dreams
"3. And the common, every-da'
garden variety of stoolpigeon."

UNIONISM IGNORED
And Failure Follows News
writers' League Strike
New Haven, Conn.—The strike of
the Newswriters' Equity League is a
failure that must be admitted, says
the Connecticut Labor Press, which
points to the futility of attempting to
improve conditions without affiliating
with the trade union movement. The
striking newspaper writers started a
paper, which has now passed into pri
vate hands. This paper emphasize
that the strikers were not affiliate
with the trade union movement
"This," says the Connecticut Labor
Press, "naturally removed from the
minds of the employers any fear that
they might have to combat the labor
movement in opposing the newswrit
ers' league and that helped them a
lot."
In Bridgeport, near here, the news
paper men organized under the Inter
national Typographical Union, anc
some of their members were dis
charged when they presented their
grievances. The victimized reporters
were reinstated, however, when a dele
gation representing the State Federa
tion of Labor and the Bridgeport cen
tral body called on the publishers.
"That," continues the Connecticut
Labor Press, "was a striking illustra
tion of the difference between bei ig
in the trade union movement and be
ing out of it."

COURT GUESSES BOSS WiNS
Portland, Ore.—The anti-injunction
law, passed by the state legislature
was considered by Judges Kavanaugh
Stapleton and Gatens in connection
with a plea of employers for an anti
picketing injunction against striking
jewelry workers.
The court was divided on the com

'.aw. One judge held that it was un
constitutional, another that it v.-as
.•onstitutional and the third thai it
.vas inapplicable in this case.
The court did agree, however, that
the jewelry workers should be re

to this effect was issued, law to the
contrary notwithstanding.

ANGLING FOR RICH PATRONS
How a New York Milliner Catches the

With Money.
In Woman's Home Companion,
Corinne Lowe tells of the wiles

by a Fifth avenue milliner in mak

Those for whom the spider spread
Its web were not the wealthy an3
unfashionable women of New York,
but wealthy and prompt customers
from the middle West. These are the
people who make money for every
Fifth avenue specialty shop. Ami
the only difficulty which now lay in
our path was that this profitable ctis
tom always has to be secured through
a reputation for serving the most
fashionable members of New York so
ciety, those notorious fashionables
who are so sensitive to a second bill
and who never think of paying their
first one until at least six months have
elapsed.
"At first wo did not have a single
member of this sorority. What we
did was to fake them. This was
achieved by several Ingenious meth
ods. One of these was to pay $10 a
week each to the chauffeurs of Mrs.
Philip Rhlnestewart and of Mrs. Clin
ton De Salle Rives for driving their
crested limousines up before our
doors when these same ultra-fashion
able employers were otherwise en
gaged. The empty limousines were
extremely efficacious, and it was not
long before the women who were try
ing to get into fashionable society
were impressed. One by one they came
to us.
'Meanwhile, we were
also
paying
the clerks of two of the smartest of
New York's hotels to recommend Fern
Piper to their rich out-of-town ps
trons."

Some time since Smith and his wife
went out for a spin in their new auto

things, and finally there came sundry
words that sounded like breaking one
of the blue laws.

To Remove Splinter.
To remove a splinter innu the hand,
fill a wide-mouthed bottle nearly full
of hot water, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Thrust the injured part
over the mouth and press it slightly
The flesh will be drawn down and
shortly the splinter will be exposed
under the action of the steam. This
method is far better than the common
and dangerous practice of pricking the
flesh with a pin or knife pn'nt. The
usual antiseptic solution should be ap
plied.
