NO LUDLOW, YET. They're hav
,ing a fierce time managing the big
Rockefeller building in Cleveland.
The 30 scrub women have struck and
they're filling tkeir places with scrub
men. The women got $1.35 per day
and want 15 cemts more.
The Rockefeller management has
not yet felt obliged to massacre any
body in order to hold on to that 15
cents. But you never can tell how
desperate a 15-cent Rockefeller issue
will become.
THE OPEN THROAT. A few
years ago a man who wore a shirt
tthat rolled open at the neck was at
once put down as one who painted
s pictures, or had shocking ideas
w about marriage, or made speeches on
the class struggle.
But this summer, look! There's
., Tompkins, the bank clerk, sipping a
chocolate ice cream sodS. with Mil-.
dred, the lawyer's stenographer.
t There's Smifh, the manufacturer, out
I for a spin. There's Vanderpyle, gen-
,tleman of no occupation, but with
-very visible means of support, going
"to a garden party. There are no
rebel thoughts in these conventional
heads. But you will notice that
their collars, in one piece with the
shirt, roll back at a point an inch or
-more down on the breast, leaving
the neck free.
f "The open throat," it has been
claimed by philosophers a cause as
well as a result of freedom in body,
mind and souL Does its fashionable
ness, this summer, mean less con
ventionality, more naturalness, and
simplicity?
At any rate, if there are no collar
buttons to be lost, it means more
quiet in the home. If there are no
collars, stiff or soft, to choke, it
means more comfort abroad.
JOLTING THE JITNEY-Califor-nia's
supreme court has come for
ward with its solar plexus punch at
the jitney bus business in the San
Francisco case. The ordinance sus
tained requires a license, a badge and
a $10,000 bond. Add to these charges
taxes and you get the size of the
traction company's victory over poor
men who are trying to earn an hon
est living with small capital.
Gradually big business is exhibiting
big reasons for recall of big courts.
SHORT ONES
A handless man has become a law-.
ryer in Chicago. No use. No man can
be a lawyer who hasnt both mitts.,
out all the time.
While generally frowning upon
such practices, we confess a certain
admiration for the French soldier who j
found time between fights in the;
trenches to manufacture counterfeit
coins and circulate them through an.1
entire English brigade. ,
Well, for a fellow they refused to
recognize, Gen. Huerta is getting a.
whole lot of recognition.
The greatest demand Just now in
these times of high food prices is
some genius to invent a way of mak
ing summer squash and Ben Davis,
apples edible.
Some fellows never think of thef
Better Babies movement until the
neighbor's kid howls all night with,
colic.
Lightning entered a Lenox, Mass.,
garage and stole a monkey wrench.
That's the only thing that can get
even with a garage.
