THIRD OF
PENNSYLVANIA
Firms Found Violating La
bor, Fire, Panic Laws
Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS)—Viola
tions of the labor and fire and panic
laws of Pennsylvania have been
found in almost 30 per cent of the
firms inspected in 23 counties, accord
ing to a report received by Secretary
of Labor and Industry Ralph M.
Bashore, from Raymond J. Nicaise,
head of the Bureau of Inspection.
This special inspection is being
made by several hundred works
ogress administration workers who
are being directed by the regular in
spectors of the department. To date
the group has inspected 209,483
places, finding violations in 6,204 or
29.4 per cent.
"Of course, not all of these employ
ers are wilful violators," said Secre
tary Bashore. "Some of them did not
realize that they were disobeying the
laws of the commonwealth and in
many cases the faults are corrected
as soon as they are called to the at
tention of the employer."
One of the tasks assigned to the
inspectors is that of checking on com
pensation coverage. It has been found
that 3,019 employers out of 10,245
visited did not carry workmen's com
pensation insurance.
Stove Company Ordered
To Reinstate Union Men
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—The
National Labor Relations Board has
ordered the reinstatement with back
pay of Walter R. Smith and Frank W.
Schlaack, discharged by the Renown
Stove Company at its Owosso, Mich.,
plant last January, because of their
union affiliations. At a hearing be
fore Trial Examiner David V. Martin,
the company contended that Smith and
Si hlaack were discharged for holding
up production on their assembly line.
Witnesses, however, revealed that
Smith and Schlaack were regarded by
their fellow workers as the fastest
mounters in the plant, so skillful that
they were used as instructors for ap
prentices.
The trial examiner reported evi
dence of company hostility to the local
unions of which Smith and Schlaack
were members and that their dis
charges were the result of a company
determination to break up the unions.
These findings are sustained in the
board's decision, which orders the
company to cease and desist from dis
couraging membership in Local 76, the
Stove Mounters' International Union,
and Local No. 88, International
Brotherhood of Foundry Employes.
Textile Workers End
"Efficiency" Strike
Mayodam, N. C. (ILNS)—Eleven
hundred workers at the two plants of
the Washington Textile Mills agreed
to terms of settlement of the six
weeks "efficiency" strike at the mills
and announced they would return to
work.
Terms of settlement of the walk
out, which began last June 15, were
not discussed. H. B. Link, represents
tive of the United Textile Workers
of America, said that terms agree
able to both parties had been devised.
The workers struck in protest
against installation of new machinery
and an efficiency system at the plant
which they charged would increase
their hours and cut their pay.
Labor unionists should patronize
labor unionists by purchasing only
from firms which display the union
label, shop card and button.

INFORMATION
A
steward stood at the gangway of
a big liner, and as he stood there he
kept shouting for the benefit of the
arriving passengers:
"First class to the right 1 Second
class to the left!"
A young woman stepped daintily
aboard with a baby In her arms. As
she hesitated before the steward he
bent »ver her and said, in his chival
rous way:
"First or second?"
"Oh!" said the girl, her face as red
as a rose. "Oh, dear, neither—I'm
only the nurse."—Pearson's Weiekly.
Be Patient
He—I've never been so Insulted be
fore. He called me a barefaced liar.
She—You shouldn't be so sensitive
about your mustache, dear. No doubt
it will be more noticeable in a few
years.—Vancouver Province.

box?
Zoom—She was hatched from an
egg that came by parcel post.—The

JOY AHEAD
She—I don't think engaged couples
should ever quarrel.
He—And why not?
She—I think they should leave that

marriage.
Widow Weeds
Friend—And have you found a law
firm that Is satisfactory?
Widow—Don't talk to me about law
yers. I've had so much trouble over
the property I sometimes wish my hus
band had not died.
Excusable Inadvertence
"Machinery seems almost endowed
with Intelligence."
"That's right," replied Farmer Corn
tossel. "Sometimes I ketch myself
usln' the same language to our auto
mobile that I use to the mule."
A Real Problem
Bridget—I pity the street sweepers.
Nora—I thought they had a pretty
soft snap.
Bridget—Why, they haven't any
place to sweep the dirt where it won't
show.—Pathfinder Magazine.
Too Literal
The story of the promised land in
Hxodus had been read to the Sunday
school class.
"Now, Johnny," said the teacher,
"what do you think a land flowing
with milk and honey would be like?"
"I'd think It would be sticky," was
Johnny's practical answer.
Slightly Embarrassing
Young Doctor—I'm afraid I made a
mistake in filling in a death certificate
today.
Old Doctor—How was that?
Young Doctor—I absent-mindedly
signed my name in the space left for
"causa ol death.''—Pathfinder Maga
zine.
Crowds Pour Into Exposition Grounds
"According to Hoyle"
Edmund (or Edmond) Hoyle, the
first systematlzer of the laws of the
card game "Whist" and author of a
book of games, was born in 1072 and
died In London In 1700. He was a law
yer who gave lessons In card playing,
and his "Short Treatise on the Game
of Whist" was first published In 1743.
The laws of Hoyle were regarded at
authoritative for at least 100 years,
and the weight of his authority Is In
dicated by the phrase "according to
Hoyle," which was first applied to the
game of whist. Fielding in his novel
"Tom Jones" refers to "my Hoyle, my
best Hoyle, which cost me a guinea,
lying open on the table." Byron In his
"Don Juan" says that "Troy owes to
Homer what whist owes to Hoyle."
Books of rules for card games and
other games are still glren Boyle's
name and to play according to Hoyle
is to play correctly or according to
standard authorities.
Baroa tob Steuben
At the close of the Revolutionary
war Baron von Steuben wag refused
pecuniary remuneration which he had
asked of the colonies in the event of
their success. To recuperate his for
tunes, abandoned for their cause, he
was subsequently awarded several
grants of land, among them a township
In northern New York, where he spent
the remainder of his life In a log cabin,
within the present limits of Utlca, N.
Y. A monument to his memory was
unveiled there August 3, 1914.

Woolen Workers Continue
Fight for Better Conditions
Providence, R. I. (ILNS)—The
woolen manufacturers are in a posi
tion to meet the union's demands and
the union intends to proceed with its
original plans for bettering the con
ditions of its members, Anthony Val
ente, national secretary of the Feder
ation of Woolen and Worsted Workers,
affiliated with the United Textile
Workers of America, declared in a
statement issued here.
Valente's statement was in reply
to a recent statement by Arthur
Besse, president of the National As
sociation of Wool Manufacturers,
contending that the industry was in
no position to grant the union's de
mands, including a request for a 20
per cent wage increase and a thirty
five-hour week.
We like to have union labels talked
about because people can never say
anything bad about them.
