Better Than a Help Wanted Ad.

Mrs Leroy-"Anty. I'm just trying to compose help
wanted ad for the newspaper that will bring me
washwoman They re awfully scarce and I'm so tired
out doing my own washing I'm nearly half dead.
Anty Drudge-"Help wanted? Huh! The help you want
is Fes-Naptha soap Instead of writing that adj you
write postal to your grocer to send you some
Fels-Naptha. Then do your washing with it IN cool
orlukewarm water without boiling and hard rubbing,
and you need no other help. 1t won't make you
tired nor take half so long
If you want some clothes washed in
hurry, Fels-Naptha is a friend in need.
You don't need to wait for the laun-
drvman or the washerwoman.
You don't need fire, nor hot water,
nor washboiler, nor washboard.
In summer or winter Fels-Naptha will
take the dirt out of your clothes in cool or
lukewarm water in the shortest time with
out hard work.
And do it more thoroughly than the
most elaborate laundry outfit with any
other kind of soap.
You'll find it immensely convenient
in having supply of Fels-Naptha always
on hand.
1t will solve many vexing washing and
cleaning problems in easy fashion.
All that's necessary is to have cool or
lukewarm water, and follow the simple
directions on the red and green wrapper.

A QUESTION.

The question, How could the value
of skilled and unsllilled labor be deter
mined under Socialism? proceeds from
n confusion of thought engendered by
capitalist conditions. Under capital
ist conditions production Is kept far
below the point it could reach. and
that would supply an abundance to III.
Under such conditions the preteXt Of
skilled and unsbilled labor is raised
to justify starvation wages for the
latter. That this Is only a preteXt
appears clearly from the instances,
such as lace-makeTs, wcavers. etc ,
who often set below the wages of un-
skilled laborcrs. The cause for the es-
tablishment of a difference between
skilled and unskilled labor (the insuf-
fciency Of the present product) would
be absent in the Socialist Republic
Abundance would be possible for all
From that moment the principle would
assert itself that, If 1t takes 2 to null
tiply with 10 so as to produce the
needed 20. then IS as important fac
tor as l0-in other words. IL 'unsklll-
ed" labor. Is needed to cooperate with
skilled" labor in order to produce the
needed abundance, then both sorts Of
labor are entitled TO equal considera-

ANSWER TO PRESIDENT WILSON
Give the laborer the Full Product Of
His Labor, the Only Way to Solve
Wages Question.

Milwaukee. Wis, July l6.-If Pres.
Woodrow Wilson Of Princeton never
knew anything about the Labor Qucs-
ton before he delivered his ridiculous
baccalaurcate address last June, he
mus; assuredly know a good deal now,
If he has followed up the many re.
plies TO his absurd remarks.
One Of the best of these replies ap-
peared recently in the Daily Journal
Of this city, and runs In part as fol-
lows:
Or Woodrow Wilson. president of
Princeton university, adverted to la
Dor unionism In his baccalauTeate ad-
dress this year. and. If he IS correctly
reported, called it the Industrial men
ace of the nation. He spoke OF the
alleged practice in the labor unions of
"standardlzing" the days work. and
of making the output of the poorest
workman the standard. This. he suga
gested, tends TO cut down Industrial
efficiency and to cripple tho nation in
the race for commercial supremacy.
Like most college men, DR., Wilson
fails or refuses to look the real prob
lem in the face. Trade unionlsm IS a
symptom, not a disease. When labor
is unoppressed 1t never organizes.
When natural opportunities for self
employment are so free that all men
may employ themselves at Will. the
labor union Is unheard of. When
placer mines were open TO the first
conner In California, and later in
Alaska, there were no miners unions.
