Sis-Hour Dayv - 'Lord Leverhuime, a leading soap , manufacturer Manchester, England, has declared n ; favor of the six-hour day and suggests -that two slrtfts niigbt, be wored-one lroni 7 Mn. to 1:30 p. .wifb, half an hour for breakfast, and .the otherfrom 1:30 to 8 p. m., with half! an hour for supper, the workers to take each shift in altera ... i j .. , -w " ww( .i.,; ... ,..' . .v The; Cotton Factoy Tirnes says Lord LeverWme, makes no pretense of man ufiicturing soap from philanthropic mo . tlves and has frequently confessed that " "III - V.' " " ' ' u runs ms onsiness on the lino-a firirtn. ed because he has found that it is that ... method which pays best. ' "But," continues this paper, "the fact that his lordship's works turns out . higher dividends because the conditions -of labor thew .prevailing are consider- 1 ' ' t (. .... -."'.a I r1irnnnn-rf 4k. l . iI y ib no way lessens the value of his Indus- . - - - uu A wua viio lUUJa v of view.v Xord Le verhulme is one of . those who have demonstrated that long hours .of work do- not pay and Mas now come to the conclusion that a general adoption of the ; six-hour day, would be v beneficial all around. The output would be increased, the -cost of production re ' duced and the workmen could be paid . the same wages as for eight hours and so have 'the Increase and leisure as pure - gain. . Eabor first took up the eight hour dav when the 12-hour dav was not uncommon and it still puts it in its pro gram because, even to-day, in most in d usuries iti would be an advance. Bat there is no magic about eight hours which makes such a period the ideal length for the working'day: Regarded in the light of modern knowledge' and - modern conditions, eight hours should be the maximum to which the laboring , day should extend, rather than the mln : - imum to which it should be reduced. It Is a hopefol sign that so much at tention is being given to the baleful effect of long hours and we may be "' grateful to Lord Jverhulme for giving the weight of his authori ty to so bold and benificent a -proposal as the six- 7 honridayiV , 0 ' " ' " Sttipef xes His Cramped Intellect. jr gome of the great dally, newspapers i throughout the country have .nearly placed a charge of treason against the carpenters who are erecting the build ings for the various cantonments. 'Carpenters hold np the Government for $50 a weekl" screams one of them. ; Of codrse nearly all editors on daily newspapers are hnmah beings, but once i in a while there is one who walks with tbe title of 'eity editor"' and a weekly cnecfr for about $20. The very idea that a man who handles a hammer andsaw makes!-feo per week; stupefies Ihls cramped intellect, and his reasoning power Is 4uite 'fts, large' as'isjhis Vsal-; ary Meal and; room cos-the workers at the geverai cantonments approximately; C2.C0 per day. ' and of necessity they must ieavethelr families injinother city while doing this emergency .work; n other words, they practically main--.tain two estabrishments. If ft costs the carpenters 075" per month for himself, the cspensesat home keep on, and in.. the end be finds that he is, in reality vorliinj under1 the union scale.; '" Usually when a man goes on the road for a firm ho is entitled to charge triy- 7b, rpenses.

The Saturday -Record, Brother Cam eron's excellent, paper atWilmtngton, follows the lead of the Asheville Labor Advocate and- comes out, strong for Major Jfoody for Commissioner of ..La bor and Printing. The Union Herald. .. Strong is exactly right. And when Organized Labor awakens and effects its power for the uplift of tlje mass of work ers,, in the Old North State; by naming more union men of Mr. Moody's type for office The SaturdayHecord will be come still stronger say about 10-horse. Trot out another horse with the union flag up and hear us root for him! The walk-out of the 30.000 iron workers of San Francisco, which tied up our $150,000,000 worth of shipbuilding contracts, has been ' settled, and the men, have re sumed work. The President states that i 'the patriotic co-operation of the workriien and their leaBers was: instrumental in the settlement." President Wilson is the greatest and most successful strike-breaker Jh world has ever known. The-Uniori Herald. 1 Mri Armour says he does not make a cent on his meat; that he sells it-for the same he pays, but makes his; profits on the by-products. All right, Mr. Armour, if you can earn $3,000,000 a year, as .you Confess, you might, in a fit of loyalty, let us have a bone ortwo for less than cost.

There' ii the fruit of '. the system these gentlemen would preserva in the hour of their countries need. Enemies of their country? Possibly yes, but -the greater enemies are those who have destroyed the faith of these' men in their country's government.

'If we can, bring .. about conditions now' that would make the future safe for the workers from the Horrors of wholesale deportations, such , as have experienced in thetoast we v. we jshonld eei-justified having in mind only real interests of the eountry, in go ing forward with the-.work of organiza tion even to the extent . of demanding and insisting upon recognition of the unions, of direct negotiations with the unions on the part of those who in the past have been able to defeat our hopes an dsufc efforts." Origm of Word ' lBooe.,, The word "booze"" came to us before the fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch, in the form of 'Ibous" or 4bouse." At that time, as noun,-or verb, it meant merely "drink" and to speak of a gentleman as bous ing" his wine was not libelous or even derogatory. fSomehow itc- quired the added suggestion' "6f. excess and bad company, and by the time of Shakespeare we find it in glossaries of the argot of tthieves and gypsies. ;The process may be understood when we think of the sinister meaning we" attach to the simple word ''drink," which might, con ceivably run the same course if we misuse it.-HHarpers. , . The Value of Anti-Typhoxd Vac cine Put to Test. As to the value of anti-typhoid vaccine, the war. in Europe has supplied a test on an enormous scale, and there has been no di vergence of opinion as to its use or efl&ciehcy at an f time. " A.s a matter of fact, its efficiency has been so well established in Europe that many Stated or countries, Galicia, for instance, his made its use compulsory for her entire pop-, ulation. Germany, says she has given it to millions with no seri ous consequences. ? - State of North Carolina, County of New Hanover. Superior Court November Term, 1917 PUBLICATION NOTICE. .r S.
