Philadelphia, Sept. 1.—At a confer-
ence in this city organized labor, aid
societies and the state department of
labor and industry joined hands in re-
commending a state bureau of employ-
ment. An official of the Federation of
Italian Societies said such a bureau
would prevent exploitation. "It is
nothing uncommon for a contractor to
force a man to wait five days for one
day’s pay,” he said. “I have known
poor Italians to make three or four
trips to Germantown trom the Italian
colony to collect wages for a few
hours' work.”
Prof. Wilits, of the University of
Pennsylvania, said:
“Big business today is represented
by superintendents and foremen, who,
as a rule, are the most inhuman insti-
tutions in our American life. As a re-
sult, we have thousands of men shift-
ing from one job to another, which
means economic loss and much human
suffering.”
President Maurer, of the state fed-
eration of labor, supported this claim
declaring that employers vest too
much authority with subordinates.

FARMERS ASKED TO AFFILIATE.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 1.—At the
first convention of the South Carolina
federation of labor it was voted to ask
the legislature to establish a state la-
bor bureau. The unionists favored a
state system of highways, a compen-
sation bill and a 50-car bill to apply'
to railroads. Officers were instructed’
to urge the Farmers’ union to act with
the industrial workers in matters of
mutual interest. Governor Manning
was unable to be present, but in a let-
ter to the convention he said:
“By uniting together, the men
whom you represent form a powerful
factor in the conduct of the affairs of
the state and the Nation. The influ-
ence of labor is great. I recognize the
soundness of its principles by incor-
porating many of them into my plat-
form last summer, and again in my in-
augural address bringing to the atten-
tion of the general assembly matters
in which labor is interested.”

The local committee composed of A.
Bahshell and J. R. Jordan deserve un-
stinted praise for the conscientious
work they have done in relieving the
distress of the members of the local
lodge. Brother Jordan nays that
while he is a union man he has had
to work over time to keep up with the
present needs of his organization and
he sincerely wishes there will never be
another storm to visit Galveston.

URGE STATE LABOR BUREAU.
ANYTHING FOR BETTER WORK AND SERVICE
“THE MODEL HAS IT FIRST”
Secretary Jordan of the Loyal Order
of Moose in an interview relative to
what his organization was doing to
relieve the distress of members caused
by the storm stated that, “immediate-
ly after the storm investigation was
set on foot to ascertain to what extent
the members of the Lodge had suf-
fered, also to arrange for relief, it was
soon learned that practically every
member of the Order in Galveston was
more or less loser by the catastrophe,
and acting under the orders of Major
A. Baushell, dictator of the local lodge,
telegrams were sent to the supreme
•officers requesting assistance. Our
request has been anticipated by the of-
ficers of the supreme lodge, who had
directed Judge J. W. Pierson of Dal-
las, a member of the supreme council,
Col. W. E. McDaniels of Dallas and Dr.
T. W. Dee of Houston, state directors,
to proceed to Galveston, Texas City
and Port Arthur to distribute supplies
and money for immediate relief. This
committee after much delay arrived in
Galveston on Sunday afternoon, Aug.
19th on board of the steam launch
Nicholas, with several wagon loads of
groceries consisting of bacon, beans,
potatoes, sugar, coffee, tomatoes bread
condensed milk, breakfast food, rice,
etc.
“Immediately on the arrival of these
■supplies a commissary was opened at
the Moose Home on Avenue E, and dis-
tribution commenced under the direc-
tion of Dictator Baushell and Secre-
tary Jordan, who have since been kept
quite busy attending to the wants of
members and their families.
“We have assisted more that fifty
families and we are not near through
yet, as in my opinion, there are many
cases that need assistance. Quite a
number of our members lived in the
western part of the city where the
losses were heaviest and quite a few
lost their homes and their all and it
will be our endeavor to try and assist
them in rehabilitating their homes. In
my opinion the losses have been great-
er than has been reported, especially
among the working classes who were
trying to get ahead by purchasing lots
and improving them beyond the pro-
tection of the Sea Wall, and while our
loss of life has been quite heavy we
are thankful that it has not been
greater, as we had many members en-
gaged in water front work.
“Our organization stands one for
all and all for one, and our member-
ship of over 600,000 men stands behind
us ready to assist us on call and the
Moose can be depended upon to do
their duty.
“In addition to this there have been
over fifty families provided for at
.Beaumont, refugees from Port Arth-
ur, quite a number of families of sol-
dier members who were on duty else-
where have been assisted and furnish-
ed, transportation to their homes or to
the points where their men and folks
are located.
The Moose steps in where he is
needed and does his duty. And in ad-
dition to this we have arranged to
send six children to our university
and vocational school at Mooseheart,)
Ill. All of this has been done while
some others have been getting ready :
Washington, Sept. 1.—The federal
department of rommerce has approved
regulations fixed by the public health
service governing the physical ex-
amination of applicants for able sea-
men’s positions on American ships
after the seamen’s law takes effect
next November. At presnt no physical
examination of seamen is required.
Under the new law the following de-
fects act as a bar:
Broadly impaired vision, color blind-
ness, deafness, epilepsy, insanity, se-
vere chronic cardiac affections, hernia,
severe varicose veins, open tuberculo-
sis, or any chronic defect which will

Energy and ambition may be the power
that ultimately create the big industsy, but
there must be something before that for a
foundation. It is ordinarily called getting
a start—it is simply making the first saving
by denying yourself something you do not
actually need—Saving can be cultivated
into a habit—We pay 4 Per Cent.
