Who can beat than? In a NOW WHAT. After flinging an insult not only at Governor Eberhart, but at the women of the state, Attorney Frank ‘Wilson, who has acted for Whittier— acted up, is a better way of putting it—gave his last yelp in the train- ing school investigation and the question of the removal of Whittier now rests in the hands of the state Board of Control. At least one part of the farce—the taking of testimony against itself by the state—is ended and a long wait- ing and weary public, with that hope which springs eternal (any less per- iod wouldn’t do in this case) in the human breast, now expects some sort of a definite verdict. It isn’t likely that the Board of Control is going to admit that it didn’t know what was going on at Red Wing and that the man whom ithey employed is a hard hided relic of the days when the lash flourished as means of subjection. It perhaps wouldn’t be right toj jump at conclusions, but it seems a fairly safe thing to take a hop in that direction in this case, and this brings us to the point where we be- lieve the Board of Control will give Mr. Whittier another coat of white- wash, and he certainly needs it, for the one the legislature applied last winter, is badly soiled. With Whittier thus “exonerated” the governor will be back in the same position he was lo, these many bloody months ago! That is to say, it will be up to him. It has been up to him before but things happened which postponed quick action, and, anyhow, his excel- lency, never appeared to fully under-: stand his power and possibilities in the case. This he is presumed to know by this time. It may be a bum hunch, but there is a feeling that Mr. Whittier is about to take a long journey. And may the lash which has black- ened the state and many a child’s back go with him.

The city council of Murphysboro, 111, passed a resolution giving pref- erence to union labor on all city work. Nearly 60 per cent of the steel tr1st employes are foreign born, and nearly two-thirds of these are of the Slavic race. Since 1878 the Cigarmakers’ Inter- national Union has paid out in sick, death, strike and out-of-work bene- fits more than $7,000,000. The French minister of labor and !'social thrift has instituted a perma- nent committee for studying the 'inj dications of approaching periods of industrial unemployment.

During the last ten years nearly ten thousand cracker bakers have been eliminated from the trade un- ion movement through the tactics of the cracker trust, which is said w0 be financed by the same men interested in the steel trust. An agreement has been concl:ded by the theater managers and the Theatrical Stage Employes’ Union of Toronto, Ont., as the result of which the members of the union will re- ceive a uniform average increase in wages, amounting to 25 per cent. The workmen’s compensation laws of California and Wisconsin went in- to effect on September 1. They make the employers liable for any injury sustained by an employe in the per- formance of his duty, abolish the contributory negligence and fellow servant defenses in actions for dam- ages brought by injured employes and provide for a system of compulsory industrial insurance. In Wisconsin nearly one hundred industrial con- cerns have already signified their ac- ceptance of the law. CALL FOR BIDS.
