Labor said: "The A. F. of L. believes
that eight hours should be a maximum
workday so that with a five and one
half day week of 44 hours, the Sat
urday half holiday would be a most
desirable achievement. In cases where
the work week can be reduce^ to less
than 44 hours the A. F. of L. be

worker to so have these hours dis

Q-—Who was Samuel PHmsoTI?
A.—Plimsoll was a great English
reformer, whose work in behalf of
sailors earned him the name of "The
Sailor's Friend." He secured legisla

side of the ships and known as Plim
soil's mark. At the 1922 convention
of the American Federation of Labor

A.—Emphatically y#.. 1923

that "The only adequate protection for
the spiritual and professional inde

organization. Primarily in the in

that the executive council of the A

bodies give every assistance to the
American Federation of Teachers in

A.—Secretary of the Trades and

for his office, A. Gariepy, business
agent of the Montreal Cigar Makers,
25 years later again proposed him for

The Cherry
FWH Where with our
I i 111 e Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly
Joe Cook, thought by a great many
persons to be the cleverest comedian
in America, is-in reality a most con
servative man. He goes on the stage
with the complete confidence of the
audience. The audience invariably be
lieves Joe Cook is capable of doing
anything. And yet, with this tremen
dous asset, Joe positively and at each
performance refuses to imitate four
Hawaiians.
Those "out in front" are firmly con
vinced that Joe can imitate four
Hawaiians, or a half dozen Hawaiians,
for that matter. They would even
grant that he could imitate four Zulus
or a dozen snickering Senegambians.
But Joe holds back. He refuses to
do that which he believes he can not
do, no matter how much confidence in
his ability others may have.
*/.
Joe Cook ^ust fools around the
stage and stands pat on his refusal
to imitate four Hawaiians. He pro
claims his intention to tell his audi
ences why he won't imitate four Ha
waiians and then he just fools around
some more and keeps everybody good
natured and pretty soon everybody is
laughing so much that nobody cares
why Joe won't imitate four Hawaiians
and anyhow they'd rather he'd just
keep on being Joe Cook.
Now it's mighty fine to have one
man like that in America. It's mighty
fine to have, one man who just pre
fers to be himself, even if he doesn't
tell the reason.
There are so many who are perfect'
ly willing to be somebody else, with
out any reason.
All over this broad land—it's gen
erally conceded to be broad, even
though it does contain a lot of nar
rowness—there are folks who insist on
being somebody else.
There are folks who insist on being
ari Authority, The Last Word, Expert
Counsel, Qualified Critic, Prophet of
Everything for Everybody.
There are so many folks who know
just what is the very best book, who
know just what is good music, who
know just what is right in politics,
.who know all about labor and capital,
who know the Only Formula for
everything and who are somehow en
dowed with all knowledge.
How, they got Xhat w&jf jaobody
knows. "S.
V
Joe Cook isn't like that. He won't
tell why he won't imitate what he
isn't—and the others Won't tell why
they do.
There isn't much point to all this,
perhaps, except that a little simplicity
and a lot of honesty can be SO re-,
freshing now and then.
Perhaps that's because in this com
plicated world there's so little of it
and so much of complicated bluff that
we get to feel that the bluff is nor
mal—as in the same way we forget
what fresh air is like after being
long in & stuffy room.
But there's something mighty real
and true to inner nature in the fool
ishness of a man who just lets him
self bubble along without throwing
any bluff at all about anything.

INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
Reported More Active Tha^t
Same Time Last Year
By International Labor Service
Washington, D.
CsNews
In the automobile industry plant*
are averaging 97 per cent of full time
operation this year. At this period
last year they averaged only 86 par
cent of full time. Automobile plants
generally are having a record produc
tion for this time of the year.
Luhiber also shows 97 per cent of
full time operation compared with 95
per cent last year iron and steel 9#
per cent this year, compared with £&
per cent last year textiles and leather*
each 93 per cent .this year, compared
with, 91 and 92 per cent last year.
Operations which would equal 100
per cent of full time in any industry....
would be rather unusual. Even with
a heavy demand, factory operations
have to be curtailed at times for re
pairs to plant, etc.
NATIONAL RIGHTS
DEMANDED BY CHINA
Buffalo, N. Y.—Complete sove|»
eignty of China and the stabilization
of Europe are the two great world
problems, said Dr. Sao-Ke Alfred
Zze, Chinese minister to the UniteSi
States, in an address to local churclt?
men. rr
China must regain her sovereignty**
said Mr. Sze, who called for an end
of the practice by the great powers
to enforce their own laws in China.
"The powers must appreciate that
so long as they insist upon exercising
extraterritorial rights in China thqy
can not hope to avoid an irritation up
on the part of the Chinese peop}e
which will tend to render difficult, if for
does not prevent, the maintenance df
cordial and reciprocally beneficial ref
lations, commercial and otherwise, be-v
tween themselves and the government*
of China," said Mr. Sze.
