LABOR LEADER
. GIVES WARNING
TO BRITISHERS
LONDON, Aug. 12 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—The strike
was characterized as “a two-edged
weapon” which should be used only
as a last resort in enforcing workers’
demands by James Henry Thomas,
a member of parliament for Derby
and general secretary of the National
Union of Derby, in his first public
address after returning from a visit
to the United States, where he tudied
the labor situation.
America had strengthened her eco
nomic situation during the war and
controlled or produced everything
that the rest of the world required,
Mr. Thomas declared. Unless Eng
land at once repaired the losses of
the past four years, he said, disaster
would stare the country in the face.
The speaker said he believed that
the government itself did much to
popularize the strike by refusing at
the conciliation table today what
they would concede tomorrow merely
on the threat of a strike.
“The first essential is that confi
dence immediately be restored to the
working classes,” Mr. Thomas stated.
“Employers must realize that the
men and women who were responsi
ble for saving the country expected
fair and quare dealing, while work
ers, on their part, must not be car
ried away by the mistaken notion
that wealth consisted in mere paper
money—bpt. must remember that the
nation had to regain not only self
confidence, but the confidence of the
world.”
SCOUTS HONORED BY FIREMEN.
Thirteen boy scouts of the Aspin
wall (Pa.) troop have been placed on
the roll of honor of the Aspinwall fire
department.
They prepared and served hot cof
fee and sandwiches to the men fight
ing fire, and the scouts stayed till
the last fireman was done.
Besides this, Chief Conner said,
“they made themselves useful and car
ried themselves in a quiet and gentle
manly manner. Ice was on our equip
ment, and the clothing of most of us
was thoroughly wet. The men were
in danger of being chilled were it not
for the very human services rendered
hy the scouts.”
WILSON LAYS SCOUT WREATHS.
Roy scout memorial wreaths wore
laid upon the graves of American dead
in France hy President Wilson. The
idea originated with Colin H. Living
stone, president of the Boy Scouts of
America.
On J'T mnrial day President Wilson
found ihe wreaths ready, and he took
them to the cemeteries where Ameri
can soldiers were buried.
The wreaths were paid for hy small
> contributions from individual scouts
and from troops.

Wife’s Dual Life Followed by Suit for Divorce
LOS ANGELES-—From the position of salaried chauffeur for her husband
only six months ago. Mrs. Edna Fay Bisbee assumed an entirely new role—
plaintiff in a divorce suit against DeWitt William Bisbee, president of the
Southwestern Engineering company.
She charges mental and physical
cruelty.
Last November, while the presi
dent of the engineering company was
seated in his office, a woman dressed
in the natty uniform of a chauffeur
entered the office and, without any
sign of recognition, formally inquired
if it were a fact he wanted a driver
for his car.
The applicant went on to explain
her qualifications, stating she had
driven automobiles for years and would appreciate securing the position. Mr.
Bisbee played his part equally well. The usual formalities of wages, hours of
labor and experience were discussed.
Mrs. Bisbee secured the job, and sat at the wheel while Mr. Bisbee went
from place to place transacting his business. During business hours the usual
formalities were observed, and then after the automobile had been placed in
the garage Mrs. Bisbee changed from her uniform and once more became the
wdtaan of the house.
The novelty of the situation created quite a sensation among the mutual
friends of the couple, but it is said the men to whom Mr. Bisbee went on calls
with a woman at the wheel never realized the driver was his wife. It was
strictly a business agreement, and each is said to have carried it out to the
letter.
But domestic difficulties arose. Mrs. Bisbee declared her husband had
been guilty of mental and physical cruelty.
