Gary b United Slates Steel corporation, and to see the Inland i plants running while his own plants wue tied. up woulu j hurt him worse than strikes in his o-wi system. j "The Inland Steel company has been paying more money and piovidmg better working conditions than .imiiuudita ami .-tinea councils are uemaiiom m tnei.- , strike and they have made no demands whatever upon the Inland plants"The Inland company pas the highest scale of all steel plants; its lowest paid common laborer .tets fimi 50 to 55 cents an hour, there ij an ei-iiu hour day in force, the men work six days a week and the company has the tbree shift plan. We have a cooperative bar paining plan whereby the company takes per cent of our wages and pays us per cent interest on it, in addition to giving U3 a dividend of protit t-haring. Deposit? of $200 to ?J0O a year in this manner make a man's returns around J 1,000 for the year. In audition there is an annual Christmas -bonus that amounts to $:.:Ht a man. There is a $15,OhO,oOo housing project afoot which will provide homes for the workers cm payments without interest. To top all this the unions have called a strike on the Inland plant and have made no demands. "Whether -we loyal employes who are .-ane enough not to be stampeded by bolshevists will go back at once or will wait until after the Oct. fi conference remains to be seen. However, we have advised the company that we are ready to work at any time, and when w e do fro back we will go with ample protection." It is refreshing to hear the views of a man of the Perkins stamp a pleasure to turn from soap box tirades to an exposition of facts like these. We commend them to our readers. Every soap box orator in the land is talking "revolution-" j Even President Wilson used the ominous word in several of his speeches, and now comes Senator Johnson to say that the country will be on the brink of re vol u-, tion if the Wilson league plan is not soon killed. j We may expect fooli.-h chatter from irrespon -ible radicals, but both the I 'resident and Senator Johns-m are aniis-s when they talk ol" "revolution." The great majorhy of Americans are taking the league debate calmly and revolution is an unknown HANK and PETE YOU MAy TiaiNj: . No LA Mi) Ij A C- -XA 1Tl A j ' tjcM t Ttt.i.

The onlv form of revolution in which the Ameriem voter indulges is opt rated through th ballot box an 1 Mr. Wilson and Senator Johnsm bo.h should bi. ni .! temperate in their language in the light of what is Jo take place in li'ih). , TRADE UNHINDERED. The president laments that 'he Central Km pi res I formerly purchased I.'MfO.H'.iO bales of cotton, ami ur.-ten immediate ratifUtati-m of the peace treaty so that trade may be resumed. Kxport figures for July are m.t availon June CS'h a car.) of 22.170 bak-s of cotton left New Orleans for Hani burs. The Xew York Journal . . ... T , cf ommerce slates taut oa July from Hamburg after di.-eha .111: ts CarL;o. l nibtli .-s many other cargoes of cotton have since that time left i our ports for Germany. If they have not dene ?o there is nothing in the peace situation that p'enented it, for only July Hth the Staiw Department removed nil the ref-tricrions of ti e tradins-w uh-tl-.e-enpmy ac that ap-plb-d to German trr.de- It is interesting note, also, that during the month of June our expert Germany amounted to JS.TSH.OOO. trade with SARAH VS. NATHAN. Sarah Miller fues Nathan Miller for divorce in the lical court?, allepine that he Is cruel to her and that he 1ms provided nothing for her comfort and convenience and that he refuses to do so. Nothing unusual about that, you say, and run on down that sordid column where each day appears the l'st of those that are seeking the severance of' the martial bends th.-t bind thera to vicious husbands or unfaithful -wives. But hold on a minute; there is some'hins; unu?ual about it all and reading between the lines one is piven a story that causes a lump to rise in one's throat and that hands to Crnch the Tinner n h't ti"'iter n though thev e'n'rr.H n -ttrn, Vnr Qoroh 1 -i:i:er was marrien to Hainan Miner for forty years before she finally came to the divorce court and she has borne him n;ne children, all of asie now save one When she ni.T-rie,1 lihn slid wni n rn. hUst and healthv cirl, and ripht hravelv she took up her household duties on the farm Thines weren't then like they are now. blesp you, and the woman had to work day in and day out with never a holiday and never a rest. Alwajs wi'h a child at hr breast, h slaved aloncr. lookins forward to the day when she could "lie back and take tlr'rcs easv." Throush the hcaf of Kiimrner an! th j cnIl of w5nter shp toiled a Ions, savins: and srrimpinr. to th,-j1:eop the rh!drrn in 5chooI and doing without creature comiort? that He might not he hard presserj or embarrassed Gradually the roses in her cheeks faded, and gradually, too. her face became lined and her body bent, and as he grew older ard 1ea useful, her husband be came more crabbed and closer. He growled and he groaned because she could not do what she used to do. and when she asked for conveniences and comforts about the home h became a madman. To be sur". she had helped save and had helped earn hut he held the purse strinss and he "wasn't poin to put up with no such foolishness-" And so Sarah ha' come to court for h"r rights; cnarled. twisted and broken by her slavery of forty years, but with her spirit undaunted and unbroken. She gave Nathan the best that was in her durlnc her youth End middle age gave it freely and uncomplainingly hut now in her old nsro she demands the comforts of life and she propTr-es to have them or know th rea-on why. No doubt Nathan with hi? money hoes tightly clasped in hi? hands wonders "what's come over the critter," hut h is destined to find out. The worm has turned at lat, and has turned into a new woman, militant, acgressive and pticnaciotis. Sarah has simply absorbed the spirit of our times and is going to show Nathan that he can't ive her the sack to hold. She helped make that money and she proposes now to have something to say regarding the manner in which it is spent. More strength to her arm! And more strength to the arms of all the household drudzes in this land who I like Sarah will stand up and shake their fists in the faes of th brutes who for years have kpt them ground! into the earth. j . J IF, as the Hammond strikers allege, the men shot in the Standard district were American citizens, why is J the Polish government sending representatives here to j collect indemnity from th" l". S. for the deaths of the i four men, and please don't all speak at once. WKLL, Mr. Prohibitionist, on wham are you blaming the strike riots and disorders?
