"INCOMPETENT JjOURBONS" Epitaph Applied to Rai Managers by Clergy man Washington. "Incompetent bou» bons" is the stinging epitaph appli to railroad managers by Rev. John A Ryan in discussing the near-railro strike in a social magazine. "Now that the strike is called off, he says, "it is in order to congratulate the officers of the unions on their moderation, their public spirit a their capacity for sacrifice. "To the railway heads, no praise n credit is due, for they showed thei Ives unyielding and as inconsidera "1' the public as of their employi They are flagrant types of incomj U iit bourbons." The clergyman called attention the insistence of some newspapc that a strike against an order of railroad labor board is a violation hiW. "A few of the papers positively a swered in the affirmative, while othe used language to suggest the sai, conclusion," he said. "This is v^ron for the Cummins-Esch act merely i quires the two parties to submit dispute to the railroad labor board does not command them to accept ti board's decision." )Ka APPOINT WOMAN Washington. President Harding has nominated Mrs. Bessie Parker Brueggeman, of St. Louis, to be member of the United States en ployes' compensation commission, •ict Mrs. Frances C. Axtell, whose term has expired. The commission deals with compen sation to civil employes of the fed eral government who sustain injurie while in the discharge of their dutie.' The monthly compensation for total disability is not more than $66.67, nor less than $33.38. ?lf ?v V w* v» nU4* "ONE BIG UNION" *lan Rejected By Food-Pro- ducing Unions in Germany v Tut 1§maTr Part Of Meitiber bership Favor Project Chicago.—Sky-shooters and bubble blowers, who talk "one big union," and want workers thrown into a jum bled mass, will hardly capitalize a recent vote on this question by food producing unions in Germany. The unions are the bakery work ers, butchers and the brew»ry^milling workers, having a combined member ship of 173,000. But 69,017 was inter ested enough to vote on a plan that trade unionists the United States and Canada are told will save the world. Charles F. Hohlmann, eclltor of the Bakers' Journal, published in Ger many on October 9. The vote shows, he says, that "it-has not come true what the advocates of the amalga mation have always contended, that the masses would be strongly in favor of it." He says that the lack of interest among workers in his own craft "was simply phenomenal." In one district, where 'great en thusiasm' was being artificially cre ated, about one-fifth of the member ship participated," although every effort was made by the ,one big union advocates to get out the vote. As indicative of this lack of inter- ODE/RN I 1AV The Story of William Henry Pcrkin was an odd sort of a youngster. When he was 13 years old and a student in the City of London School he heard of a series of lectures on chemistry during the noon recess. Young William Henry de cided that the lectures would be of more value to him than his lunches, so he took in the lectures. Apparently the lectures made a de» cided impression upon the boy. Two years later he entered the laboratory of a chemist named Hofman in the Royal College of London and by the time he was 17, had started upon his career as a researcher. Perkin dccided that his mission in life was to isolate phenenthrene from coal tar and pre pare artificial quinine. In order to speed the day when his task would be done he set up a private laboratory and worked overtime. While at work in this laboratory in the spring of 1856, he found in his test tube, while oxi dizing some aniline oil, a black, sticky mass instead of clear crystals. He at tempted to wash it out with alcohol greatest triumph when he produced alizarin, or Turkey red, formerly made only from the root of the mad der. Years later the British govern ment knighted the man who first dis covered the vast possibilities contained with coal tar but gave him little finan cial support or encouragement. It was left to German researchers to build up the industry and finally to obtain a est, Editor Hohmann quotes from tb6 official newspaper of the Bakery Workers' Union before the election: "It has been apparent that in con nection with no other question has there been such a lack of interest as there has been shown for the propos ed formation of an industrial organi zation. Nowhere was there to be found any enthusiasm or love for the new form of organization. Only a few of our members are its convinced sup porters, and the great, mass seems to be absolutely indifferent to the ques tion." Editor Hohmann intimates that flamboyant convention declarations do not necessarily express the sentiments of a union's membership. He shows that since 1908 the German bakery workers have unanimously declared in conventions on four different occa sions for the industrial form of or ganization. "The result of the recent referen dum seems to indicate, however, that but a small part of the membership favors the same," he says. to A UPHOLSTERERS LOCKED when, to his surprise he produced a breathe an added message, the assuVx wonderful purple solution—mauve, tile void upon the "tr ada.

In a recent address in Edinburgh the president of the Chemical Section of the British As sociation for tlu Advancement o Science, urging the correlation of scho lastic knowledge with the experiences and contacts of daily life, said: "Tjje quivering glint of massed blue bells in broken sunshine, the joyous radiance of young beech leaves against the stately cedar, the perfume of the hawthorne in the twilight, the florid majesty of rhododendron, the fragrant simplicity of lilac, periodically gladden the most careless heart and the least reverent spirit but to the chemist thev ance that a new seagon of refreshmen first of the aniline dyes. ^as dawned upon the world, and that Ten years later Perkin achieved his those delicate syntheses, THE DUNLAP TAILORS THE SHOP WITH NEW IDEAS 18 South Third Street.
