Flying embers from a passing train, the wind-strewn sparks from a burning building, are apt to be blown on to your roof. Vulcanite Hexagon Slabs offer you protection against this ever-present danger.

It is the opinion of some observers, however, that this will not reach the point of a very serious `break with resultant strikes- and ` cessation of work and production. It is an age-old story. The capitalist holds that the worker is trying to kill the goose that lays the golden egg by demanding wages that are outof -the question; thd`worker contends't-hat the solution of most labor troubles is that he must get" more of the profits, either in wages or by way of a bonus. A reex of this conflict of opinion is seen. in thetmigration of negroes from theisouthern States to those of the North.` This has reached a point where it is causing - serious alarm to the planters and other` in- dustrialists of the South.
