) 10 BETTER WORKMANSHI £ 0 Suid kB Workgnshy? Faraish Your Own’ Answer. Music has its charms. If you do not believe that statement ask the young ladies' employed i one of the packing rooms at the Stanley Works. These young ladies, be it understood, have just a little something on the . fair sex employed in other manufact- uring plants in the Hardware city as ‘the concern has installed a Vivtrela . in their department and the girls have - musical selectons by the world's great- est vocalists while their nimble fin- gers gre engaged in packing the fin- shed product of the Stanley Works for shipment to all parts of the world. The installation of the machine is simply an experiment, 'according tio Superintendent Clarence F. Bennett, and it does not follow that similar machines will be placed in other de- partments. Music has been found to be a great incentive to better work- manship in tobacco factories in Cuba but the Stanley Works is thought to be the only manufacturing concern in this country to give it a trial. Just ‘imagine the possibilities of such a combination. Here, for in- stance, is a group of young ladies packing articles for Italy. All right, put on a Caruso record ' and 6 the young ladies will work faster and with ?more certainty.. While the strains of Enrico’s silvery notes swell out from his $3,000-per-night vocal chords the young ladies are inspired and if those ackages don't get to Italy in better hape it won’t be the fault of ‘“‘Ca- (ruse.’” Here comes an order from Switzer- “Jand. Quick, boy, put in that yodel. . O-la-lay-he-hoo, O-la-lay-he-hoo. You an almost imagine the lay-he's and the hoo's bouncing and reverberating against the rafters while the fingers iof the young lady packers keep time, hereby getting the order out more uickly. When an order arrives that nust be rushed haste can be obtained 'by putting on the “‘Chariot Race.” The Stanley Works is recognized “4s one ‘of the most progressive con- cerns in America. Not only that, but «thé girls in ‘the Stanley Works have he reputation of being among the prettiest in any local manufacturing corporation. Pretty girls and music, eombination that can't be beat.

SOCIALIST NATIONAL DEFENSE LEAGUE Pro-War Group of Socialists in Lon- Anti-War Faction. * (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, May 31.—The Socialist Na- tional Defense league has been or- ganized by a pro-war group of socialists ineluding John Hodgé, M. P., Robert Blatchford, the writer, A. S.

Wells, the novelist, to com- hat the Keir Hardie and Ramsey Mac- donald anti-war group. “In this hour of national peril,” says the manifesto prepared by the league, “when the independence of peoples is brutally menaced and the cstablished public law and liberties of Europe are ruthlessly violated, a handful of pséudo-socialists ‘in this ccuntry are breaking the ' national solidarity and weakening ' the, na- tjonal effort in the face of the enemy. Tt has become a duty for true British socialists to expose and repudiate the errors of these dreamers. All of them dre, consciously or ‘unconsciously, the agents of . German Kaiserdom and traitors to the imperishable idéals of /liberty ' and democracy which have united free Britain, independent Bel- guim and republican France in an indissoluble and glorious alliance.” In the manifesto the following at- tack is made on German socialism: “What is the German claim?
