Tin Kind You Havi Always Bought Bears the ST?' Signature of C fcUZ&M HOURS AND WAGES." SHORTSIGHTEDNESS AND INCONSIST ENCY OF EMPLOYERa The I.oifie of the Xochlolate' Strtko For a Shooter Work 4r —The "Te Moore' For" tontmae-la Not the lodoetrlol Bftteo Pooltrf In the great labor strike for a shorter workday a Hartford manufacturer and official who shut out all his employees on the opening day of the struggle gave hla case plainly away In an Interview regarding the situation when acknowl edging that shorter hours were bound to come and there should be no objec tion to them and then the wages would have to be advanced provided they re mained at the same rate per hour s at present, because the men couldn't live on leas than they are now receiving. Here are the words as found In the re port of the Interview: "But after the nine hour day the same pay would naturally follow In course of time, as the men would have to have about the same money to live on as when working ten hours." Exactly. This Is the logic of the sit uation. And. being so, Isn't It somewhat Inconsistent to object to the demand for "ten hours' pay for nine hours' work," as the thought Is phrased? If the inen will have to have about the same money to live on while working only nine hours a day as they did when working ten, where Is the logic In de nying them that amount, as they must live In order to be able to work? How much simpler the matter would appear If the question were only divid ed? First, let the hours of labor be set tled. Is or Is not nine bourn for a day's work sufficient? It Is generally so con ceded, and we are told by those who have made a study of the subject that even four hours' labor, If all would work who can, are sufficient to give to the world all the necessaries and luxu ries of life. Now that part of the prob lem settled, the next question Is simply as to the reward In dollars and cents that that day's labor Is entitled to. And without at all going Into the depths of the question It ought to be self evident that he who performs the day's labor la at least entitled to a decent and com fortable living, and his share of the dollars and cents Involved ought to be sufficient to guarantee him as much. 80 when we speak of ten hours' pay for nine hours' work we only befud dle the question. There Is no such In congruity In the demand, for there Is no such thing In existence as an abso lute "ten hours' pay." The ten hours' pay of one man may be one thing, the ten hours' pay of another vastly differ ent. And with the same man It may l>e one amount today and another tomor row. But the immediate question Involved is the difficulty of the employers ad justing prices so as to be aide to meet what they regard as Increased cost of product. This may be a reality In some cases, but not in all. Even were It so, It Is a matter for the employers to see to and not for the men to take Into con sideration. It Is entirely out of the hit ter's Jurisdiction. However, even with in the employers' own immediate con fines, can't the matter be adjnsted to some extent? Won't the salaries of some of the officials bear a little modi fication? If $2 or $3 a day la considered sufficient recompense for the man who works with head and hands to produce the product that brings the dollars and cents to all concerned, why must tho man who works with head alone be considered as deserving from 2 to 20 times an much? Or, In other words, If $5,000, SIO,OOO, $20,000 or $30,000 a year Is only sufficient for a decent and com fortable living for one man, how are the others to get along on the compara tively Insignificant amount first refer red to? Surely the wage question and salary question arc all wrong from beginning to end. And the Industrial system at the bottom of It must be all wrong too. It is the basic cause of nearly all the slti and suffering In the civilised world, if the word "civilised" can be properly used In this connection. It begets the pauper and the millionaire, the thief, the drunkard and the prostitute. It has millions of people forever on the rag ged edge of suspense for the morrow that the few may roll and rule In luxu ry If not riot In dissipation. It has the great majority of humanity ever In trouble for the want of enough while the few are In trouble because of hav ing too much. There can be no lasting peace and happiness In the world until something better takes Its place as the basic structure of our civilisation. — Hartford Examiner. Chfaeae Labor Too Cheap. Evelyn E. Forter, an electrical engi neer connected with the cotton mills at Shanghai, said to a New York reporter that the six mills In Shanghai, each bal ing 40,000 spindles, cannot compete, even with their cheap Chinese labor, with the American manufacturers. The originators of the plants In China ex pected large profits, but by the practice of the most rigid economy they have been unable to earn more than 8 per Cent on their investment. The women in the Chinese mills, Mr. Porter said, are paid 15 cents a day. He explained that competition with American made goods Is unsuccessful, because an American operative can do better work and four times more In a given time than a Chinese. Laekr Bakera. The Hebrew bakers of Boston, who were recently Involved In a strike for a uniform workday of not more than 12 hours, gained further concessions from their employers. The officers of the union have received reports that the wages of the Journeymen bakers had been advanced 25 per cent since the set tlement of the strike.

I heard a bird lover say the |o* her day that If all the birds were banished from the earth we coiildinot possibly live on It for any length of time. Did you know birds were so Important? Just think of It! The birds make It-possible for us to live! They ore as necessary to us as water and air and food. One reason why they are so Important la that they eat very many seeds of poi sonous plants and weeds, which. If the ! birds did not destroy them, would over run things. Then they eat so many grubs, which destroy our grain and fruit trees and bushes. We should Ik? overrun with those also If the birds did Dot help us out. There are other rea sons, too, why we should want every bird to live. llow many of yo* know them ? Just at this time of year our little friend the yellow bird makes himself familiar again. The sociable little fel lows do not retire to the woods, hut seem to prefer the gayer life of culti vated ground. They seldom appear In flocks and will often le found In or near orchards and shade trees, search ing for small caterpillars and canker worms. Keep your eyes open and see If you cannot find the yellow bird again by the following description: Song.—Merry and happy nnd "sweet sweet swe-eet-y." Blxe.—Nearly five Inches long. Male.—Head above, bright yellow; back, olive green; golden yellow, streak ed with orange, below; dark, gender bill nnd dark feet. Female.—Like the male, but breast stripe* more Indistinct. From the song of the yellow bird, as well as Jit* appearance, you may well exclaim, "Why, there's a strayed ca nary !" If you can find a nest In the shrub bery with thick, closely woven walls of vegetable material and In It three to five dull eggs, marked around the larger end with brown spots, you will know you have found the yellow birds' home, and If you are patient nnd do not disturb the nest the baby yel low birds will soon be batched and ready to sing Joyously to you.—St. Lou- Is Star. Be Interested In Something. I wonder how many boys nnd girls have some one special thing that they are Interested in. There are so many things to be Interested In In this age. It Is well to be very much Interested In everything nnd to be especially Inter ested In some one thing. I know a boy wljo Is Interested In geogrnphy and rends It Just as he would read a story book. I know a girl who Is Inter ested In bngs nnd caterpillars and moths, nil sorts of things that are alive. She has quite a collation of butterflies and all kinds of Insects. 1 know some boys who are more Interest ed In Nirnktw than In anything. They are very well nrqunlnted &Ith their habits. Another set of hoys Is Interest ed In machinery, another group In phi) tography, some girls are Interested In fancy work, some In flowers and some j In birds. Some night when you are all alone In l>ed Just think and think till j you have made up your mind what you would most like to know all about. I whether horses or electricity or sea shells or whatever else may occur to j you. Moke up your mind that you will know one thing well. There Is another very fascinating thing to think about, and that Is what you want to do when you are grown up. It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, you can all do pretty much what you want to do If you begin early enough and stick to the Idea. It Is a glorious thing to feel that we have the power within ourselves to be some thing worth while and to do something worth while. Touch. Any number of boys cnn play this popular game. One of the players vol unteers to ho "touch," or "he," or else he Is chosen to fill that office by count ingout. "Touch" then endeavors, by fol lowing after, to touch one of his play mates ns they run about In all direc tions trying to avoid him. When a player Is touched, he becomes "touch" and In his turn strives to touch one of the others. When "touch" succeeds in touching another, he cries "Feign dou ble touch!" which signifies that the player so touched must not touch the player who touched him until he has chased somebody else. In some sec tions this game Is called tag. Flub Lines.
