Denial DeLcon. the Booiallat laadsr from New york. deliverad an address to a crowded houaa " at "" Arlon hU last nlsht. Mr. PoLeon's speech was aa exposition of Industrial unionism and a comparison of the form of org-anlratlon f lbs Industrial Workers of tbs World with that of the American Federation of Labor. He declared that craft unions are nothing- but "scab-herdtnt" organi sations and eited many Instances to how that eraft union strikes are lost because of the "acabblnf of other eraft unions rather than bj the Importation of "scabs' from the outside. V During- the course of his remarks the the east ha will propose to the execu tive board of the t W. W. and the So cialist partr that they hire a man to travel all over the United States In Pullman cars to take notes on what tbs capitalists think of the two rival labor organisations. - - , They nave an Instinct toward the I. W. W. such aa a oat has to a mouse," aid he. "Toward the A. F. of L. they have the- Instinct of a mouse toward a gingerbread oat.' The speech of Romeo to Juliet Is beaten all hollow by the speeohes ths capitalists make to the A. F. of I They love craft unionism; they hats industrlsl unions." At the closa of the meeting Fred W. Heslewood, who was at the bead of the recent mill strike, announeed that the strike had been called off by the local members of the J. W. W. He claimed that the strikers had not. been defeated In every aense, since they had organised and educated, t.000 men who would be better flttedto make a more efficient light next time. . Most of these men, he said, had beea shipped to new Jobs la various sections of the wast, but they would be heard from again as forming nuclei- for strike disturbances In ,. the future. . -;, j.-.V. . ....... j . .

Sever??! 0 Sf-rfC'r::!; STORIES OF MEAN PEOPLE Woman Returns 'Skewers to Butcher Miacr Paid for Letter. . . "There - are some meannesses which are too mean even . for man woman, lovel woman, alone ean commit them." We quota this aentenoe from "A Shabby Oentael Story" not aa any re flection on our fslr readers, but merely aa a fitting introduction to an example of meanness on the part of a lady which we feel sure Is quite exceptional among nor sex. This lady was in a fairly good position and lived in one ef the suburbs ef large town. One morn Ing she went to her butcher with I basket filled with wooden skewers. She told him she had saved them that they had been weighed to her aa meat, and that aha had brought them to receive their weight back again tn meat! Ia there a man bold enough te carry economy so far? , . Perhaps the meannesses ef mean peo ple are more often actuated by feelings of avarice rather than those ef economy. tl would be dlflfoult. for Instance, to find a worse case than the following: An old man once wrote a latter to a friend, and wishing te save hla stamp he ordered Ms servant to take It to its address. -- It waa raining and the girl wore a new dross that she was afraid of spoiling. Bhe looked into the street. saw a boy she knew, and calling out te him she eaid, "Deliver this letter for me and I will give you a penny." The miser heard the offer and said. "Olve me' the penny, and I will carry the let ter myself." 'What Is more, he did so. The meanest person- ef whom I ever heard." aays a contributor to the Cap tain, from which these stories are taken, "waa the owner ' of a certain sweetshop In a Yorkshire village. One of my aunte when she was a girl went to buy a pennyworth Of sweets.' After oarer ully placing a number ef the re quired sweets In the scale pan the shop keeper, finding that they did not quite make the neoeasary weight, carefully chose another sweet and added It to the pile. ' But unfortunately the aweet proving heavier than he had expected, the arm of the balance containing the sweets slowly descended. So he took the offending sweet- off the pile and actually bit It in two, placing one half back In the bottle and the other In the paper bag Into which he emptied the pennyworth. Then, without a word of comment on thla extraordinary perform, ance, he handed the bag to my aunt." . The workmen's ' compensation act should put an end te examples of mean ness such as the followlngi Early one momlag a bricklayer was going up a scaffolding with a hod of bricks when .he fell to the around,, sus. talning a broken leg and other Injuries. The master builder,- who was notorious for his eloseflatedneas, visited the hos pital to Vtiteh the poor fellow had been taken, ana approacning the letters bed side observed. "How on earth did you manae-e It. Jlmf "Sheer accident air I slipped." replied the sufferer, faint ly. "Oh, . well, you ' know, you should have been more careful," said the mas ter builder. "Every brick in the hod was broken, snd I find - by the time sheet that you had not earned enough to mt for them, but aa you are In jured I won't press the matter further you may pay for them gradually when you recover."
