No OCCASION FOR
MENTAL DEPRESSION
Labor Can Do Much Towards the
Restoration of Public
Confidence.
Present Indications Are That
Banks Throughout the Coun
try Are Sound.

While there is no denying the fact
is serious there is yet little fear Of a
panic as such a condition is commonly
understood. Workers for wages should,
therefore, not become too much alarm
ed and should do all that they can to
keep things "going along" In this re-
spect labor can really do more than
the majority of laborers imagine.
That there are the most hopeful
signs Of a continuity of work and
wages instead Of an industrial stag
nation is quite apparent. There are
to be millions and millions of dollars
spent in industrial development both
in the east and west during the winter
and spring, and there is no serious
cause we believe for mental depres-
sion at the outlook. The panic was
caused by the developments in recent
Investigations which resulted in a fail
ure Of confidence in our f1duciary in
situations. We believe this scare was
not we'll founded and we would advise
workingmen having money in banks to
not further aggravate the situation by
desiring its withdrawal The present
indications are that the banks in this
city and throughout the country are
sound.
To the average workingman the
banking business is much of a mys-
terry He knows little or nothing Of
the principles of credit and exchange
beyond the credit he gets from week
to week or month to month from the
grocer and the butcher, and the least
suspicion that there may be irregulari-
ties in the handling Of his money is
enough to cause a demand for his de-
posits. With confidence restored a
bright future is presented.

The objection that the union shop
arbitrarily fixes the level Of wages
scarcely needs answering, for it is well
known that the standard wage fixed
by the union is merely a minimum
wage, and there is nothing to prevent
the employer from declining to hire
men whose services are not worth so
much to him. nor from paying higher
wages to men whose work is worth
more. Whatever leveling the union
shop accomplishes is ha leveling up,
not a leveling down. AS matter Of
fact, the best workmen get much more
than the minimum wage The labor
commission of Iowa.: for instance, re-
ports that the wages of the most prof.
cient workmen in the organized trades
of that state exceed the minimum
wage rate on an average of 80 per
cent.
