JOB SEEKERS
Gouged By New York Em
ployment Agents
New York.—The evils of state-li
censed employment bureaus were re
vealed by witnesses before the State
Industrial Commission.
Stories of misrepresentation through
false advertising, refusal to, return
es when no work was obtained, the
ending of young girls to immoral re
sorts,
assaults on kitchen workers in
summer hotels when they demanded
pay and the "generally unwholesome
atmosphere of private fee-charging
employment agencies" were laid be
fore the commission.
The witnesses included John M.
O'Hanlon, secretary New York State
Federation of Labor.
The labor turnover in many indus
ies and callings is enormous, it
«as stated, because of collusion be
ween employment agents and bosses
or superintendents. Employment ag
nts charging 10 per cent of the first
month's wage for obtaining a job for
an applicant are frequently in league
with unscrupulous hotel, department
store and railroad employes who dis
charge workers regularly every week
or two in order to increase the income
of agents who divide their profits with
them.
Henry D. Sayer, secretary of the
commisison, stated that anybody who
paid $25 for a license and posted a
bond of $1,000 can open an employ
ment agency in this state.

Poindexter faced the united oppo

"Tell us about it, and tell us what

"First of all I saw some lovely trees
along a great avenue. They had all

"It seemed that they had started

"So now the lovely branches met

"They played the donkey game, too.
There was a big sheet, and upon It

Chicago.—Stinging criticism of Fed

against organized musicians has af

and he would now inquire if an emer

The court asked attorneys for the

The workers' attorneys privately sug

Judge Wilkerson secured his first
notoriety when he issued an edict
against striking railroad shop men, at
the request of Attorney General Harry
Daugherty.
City-wide opposition to his recent
order has shocked the judge. He com

work without the consent of employ

and the Theatrical Janitors' Union

PEACE PACT WON'T
AFFECT NAVY
Washington.—The Kellogg anti-war
pact, recently signed by the leading
nations, will not affect the navy's
building program, according to a
statement by Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur.
The construction program remains
unchanged, and passage will be urged
when congress convenes, said Mr. Wil
bur.
The Navy Department asked the last
congress to approve the construction
of 71 vessels at a cost of $724,000,000.
There were to be 25 light cruisers, 9
destroyer leaders, 32 submarines and
5 aircraft carriers. The bill as passed
by the house reduced the proposed
construction to 16 vessels at a cost of
$274,000,000. This changed bill, with
minor amendments by the senate com
mittee, has been reported to that body
and has a favored parliamentary po
sition.

Disposition of Dead
Has Wide Variation
Ceremonies associated with the vari
ous methods ol disposing of dead the
world over are as Interesting as they
are varied.
Modern nations as well as many
primitive and oriental peoples practice
inhumation, and with It their many
and peculiar rites. But, as in bygone
days, funeral ceremonies of today are
most sacred and Impressive occasions.
Cremation or the burning of dead
bodies to ashes. Is now practiced to a
small extent In several countries, but
is by no means new, says the Path
finder Magazine. At the beglnuing of
the Christian era cremation was the
prevailing custom of the civilized
world, with the exception of Egypt,
where the dead were embalmed Judea,
where they were entombed In a sepul
eher, and China, where they were
buried in the earth. Christian in
humation, which Is now universal,
probably owes its origin to the doc
trine of resurrection of the body.
While cremation was practiced by the
later Greeks, llomans, Danes and
others, the first cremation societies
were not formed until the Nineteenth
century. This method of disposing of
human bodies is now urged by some
health authorities on sanitary grounds.
Love and Youth Can
Always "Find a Way"
Will love And a way? asks the Bos
ton Globe, which then goes on to tell
this: The observer had missed his
train and was forced to wait an hour
for the next As he walked through
the crowd of passengers from an in
coming train he noticed the warmth
of embrace of a young man and his
girl friend. Apparently she was wel
coming him home from a long trip.
Ten minutes later he saw them In a
strangle hold as a train emptied its
passengers at another gate. As the
crowd dispersed, they parted. The boy
friend was trailed to the waiting
room, where he met the girl, greeted
her sans embrace, and sat down for
a chat again. As another train was
announced, they again departed. The
youth mingled with the Incoming
crowd and the girl ran up to meet
him. To the ordinary onlooker It was
a fond welcome home, but to the ob
server It was an ingenious system of
petting in public. Love will find a
way.
Concerning "Tightwad
You are a tightwad, suys a govern
ment budget expert, if your living ex
penses are 37 per cent of your in
come, your savings 00 per cent and
the remaining 3 per cent scattered
among recreation, education and phi
lanthropy. You are a spendthrift If
your living expenses are 58 per cent,
your savings zero, your recreation 40
per cent. You are thrifty If your liv
ing expenses are 50 per cent, your
savings 20 per cent, education, giving
and recretion 10 per cent.
It's a pleasure to meet a budget mak
er who emphasizes some necessities
of human living besides savings only,
and who will not give the palm to the
fellow who saves the most.— Kansas1

First "Weather-Class"
The first mecurial barometer was
constructed chiefly for the purpose of
demonstrating the fact that air has
weight, says Nature Magazine. Later
this instrument acquired a great repu
tation as a means of predicting weath
er and was nicknamed the "weather
glass." Though its prophetic powers
are not now rated so high as former
ly, it remains the most Important of
meteorological instruments. The col
umn of mercury In the barometer
rises and falls with changes of atmos
pheric pressure, and Its length 1?
measured by means of an attachment
called a "vernier," with a much great
er refinement of accuracy than is that
of the column of mercury or alcohol
in a thermometer.
Naval Range Finder
An accurate method of computing
the distance between ships when the
height of the enemy shlp is not known
is by the use of the optical range
tinder. This instrument is installed in
the turrets of battleships. It consists
of a long tube with optical prisms.
The length of the tube Is taken as the
base of a triangle. The distance is
then figured out mathematically. The
degree of accuracy depends upon the
visibility conditions and the distance
can usually be ascertained within a
few hundred yards of the exact dis
tance.
Progress in Lighting
A common laborer of today works
about ten minutes each day to pay for
the lighting of his home by means ot
electricity. A half-century ago he
would have had to work two and one
half hours to provide the same
amount of light by means of gas
flames. And if be had supplied him
self a half-century ago with the same
amount of light from candies be would
have had to work 24 hours every day
to pay his lighting hill. For this great
reduction in the cost of artificial light

Bridgette and
A Bridget

was certainly somewhat
dowdy in her selection of clothes.
Even her closest of friends admitted
that she could stand a good deal of
prompting when it came to buying
clothes or dressing her hair.
And the professional singer to
whom she had become engaged was
the most constant of critics regard
ing Bridget's taste.
"You know, Bridget, as the wife of
a professional man you really must
try to dress in better taste ahd to
make a great effort to overcome that
silly shyness."
"But, Don, I don't like crowds and
I hate being stared at"
"But you are stared at a whole lot
more for looking dowdy than you
would be if properly and modishly
gowned. Honestly, dear, your hair,
long and wispy like that, looks like
the dickens beside all these trim
heads."
Bridget smiled. She knew she was
out of date. However, she felt that
Don was quite right. Her soft violet
eyes looked calmly back at him and
her wistful mouth essayed the kind of
smile that sometimes breaks a heart.
So Bridget made an appointment
with the famous Modiste "Clement"
and at Don's persistent wish she de
cided to become Bridgette rather than
the more homely Bridget.
Once inside the studio she felt
somewhat relieved, as it looked like
nothing so much as an old attic room
in which an assortment of rugs had
been scattered about. These, how
ever, were rugs of glorious hue and
texture and their beauty so compelling
as to make Bridgette forget her shy
ness entirely and become absorbed in
admiration.
A minute or so later she found her
self confronted by a most boyish look
ing individual who smiled a most
charming smile straight Into Brld
gette's violet eyes.
"Your fiance, Mr. Bird, has told me
that you are always atrociously
gowned," he said frankly, "and I quite
agree with him. You could look so
gloriously different—that I can't un
derstand why you have failed to see
it." And already in Clement's eyes
Bridgette was standing in the sim
plest of dove-gray frocks and her hair
was wound about In coils to set off
the pure oval of her delicate face.
Bridgette found herself warming to
praise. So often her lot had been to
listen to criticism rather than flat
tery that the newness of all this put a
strange little spirit of power within
her and she found her wistful little
smile going out to meet that charm
ing one of the great Clement.
"You know, Miss Bridget Jones," he
went on In an effort to put her entire
ly at her ease, "my real name is Jo
slah Smith. I had to take on a trade
name—just as you are expected to as
sume a more high-sounding one. But
just the same, I will some day retire
and go back to Joslah and the chick
en farm."
Bridget burst out Into hearty laugh
ter. Don would have wondered at it.
He had never in all his acquaintance
with the girl he was to marry found
her looking so happy.
Then she smiled her more than
wistful smile and shook her head.
"I shall never be able to go back to
Bridget and my own home life—once
I've married and stepped Into this
modernism."
Glement cast a swift glance at the
young girl who was trying so hard t*
pattern herself according to the die
tates of a man, and wished with al!
his heart that some one loved bin
sufficiently to make such a sacrifice
"Cheer up," he laughed, "you wil:
be so ravishingly lovely when you ar
dolled up that you will be forever
grateful that some one has made you
step out of dowdiness Into beauty."
"All right," laughed Bridgette. "G

as I am comfortable. I absolutely re

are not perfectly comfortable. And
i
won't wear high heels for either yov
or Don. And I won't wear such tigh

MINERS
To Ask Higher Pay As
Copper Rises
New York City, (I. L. N. S.).—A
general demand for an advance in
wages of copper miners is likely to
result from the recent increase in the
domestic price of copper to IS cents
pound, according to information re
ceived in Wall Street from producing
centers in the west. Requests for
higher wages already have been made
to some companies.
Miners' organizations in certain sec
tions are insisting that an old agree
ment, which made wage increases au
tomatic when the price of copper
reached 15 cents a pound, is stil op
erative. According to copper execu
tives who were interviewed there is
no hard-and-fast agreement of the
kind in operation at the mines of any
of the principal companies, though
some of the smaller companies may
have such an arrangement.
At present it is understood that in
some of the large copper districts of
the west miners' rperesentatives are
urging a concerted movement in fa
vor of higher wages for the industry.
COAL OUTPUT
Lowest Since 1924, Report
Washington, D. C.—Coal production
in the United States this year is the
lowest since 1924, latest reports of
the U. S. Mines Bureau indicate.
Output of the bituminous fields for
the eight months to September 1 to
tals approximately 312,812,000 net
tons, it is shown. This is 41,503,000
tons less than in the corresponding
1927 period when 354,315,000 tons
were mined, and 44,521,000 tons be
ow 1926 when production was 357,
333,000 tons.
In 1925 the mines turned out 320,
206,000 tons of soft coal in the eight
months in 1924 they produced 306,
130,000 tons and in 1923 about 381,
772,000 tons.
Output in the bituminous workings
continues to run behind that of last
year as the fall season approaches, it
is disclosed.
Production of anthracite also shows
year. Minings of hard coal to Sep
a reduction by comparison with last
tember 1, 1928, are placed at 48,637,
000 tons. In 1927 output was 54,167,
