Important Statement of David "Hale Fanning Quoted by Worcester Pub- lication—Danger in Labor Agitation. The Voter and His Employer, an in- dustrial and political magazine pub- lished in Worcester, Mass., contains what it announces as one of the most remarkable statements from a busi- ness, industrial and economical stand- roint ever given out by any citizen of any community, in the form of an opinion issued by David H. Fanning, president of the Roval Worcester Cor- set company, for the benefit and wel- fare of the 165,000 people who consti- tute the population of Worcester. Mr. Fanning’s company is capitalized at $800,000, being one of ‘the largest manufacturing establishments in Mas- sachusetts. In his statement he says: “There are in this city six corset companies, having their factories and administrative offices here, and, for the greater part, the controlling inter- est and stock of these six companies is owned by citizens of Worcester. “They employ 2,000 or more people, the greater part of whom are women. “These- companies pay taxes to the city of about $9,000 per annum. Their aggregate weekly payrolls are in the neighborhood of $18,000. “When the corset- industry was started in Worcester all the corsets used in the United States were made in foreign countries. All the money for the making of them went into for- eign hands. The push and energy of Worcester's corset manufacturers have eliminated this foreign competition, and kept at home a vast sum of money which goes largely into our home life. “All these things are of the very greatest moment and importance to our retail business men. Were any ccndition possible to arise, whether by reason of adverse legisiation, labor agitation, tax disturbance or what not, which would cause this great com- mer®ial industry, or any part of it, to be taken away from Worcester, the damage to our city, its citizens and its future would hardly be possible to estimate.” YANTIC Portrait of the Late John Beswick Presented Fire Coppany—Farmers’ Spring Work Late.

It was the republican party under Lincoln that protected and preserved the na- tion. “Under that party and protection the country has grown and prospered. 1 am a protectionist to the extent that it is necessary to safeguard our industries and our labor from foreign competition. ‘When the Euro- pean war is over some of the nations engaged in it will be well-nigh if not ‘wholly bankrupt, and they will strug- gle to gain our markets. 'We cannot afford to let industries which we have developed be ruined by the competi- tion of labor in foreign lands. 1 am in favor of the revision of the tariff so that the industries will be protected and so that our army of ‘workers shall_not be thrown out of employment.

E R S T How to Attract the Birds. In the Woman's Home Companion Franz Biehler gives directions as to building houses that birds will nest in and how to secure a garden that birds ‘will come to. “A good many species, to be sure, build their own nests to suit them- selves. They chose thelr own quarters and wil have nothing to do with all those cute . little houses and nesting boxes which we put up so insinuating- 1y about the garden—always in places INDIVIDUALITY IS A -HALL MARK IN THIS SUIT This skirt has all fullness modishly bunched over the hips.
