At present, sXty-tive per cent of the
employees of the Homestead plant are

$1O.5O week"
The family of steel worker who
received less than $12 week, spent
Its income as follows:
Rent, $1.SS; food $4.16; clothing
ninety-four cents; furniture, nine
cents; fuel, 3S cents; insurance, 20
cents; miscellaneous nlnety-two cents
The expenditure for rent, the wit
ness said, represented two small
rooms in an unsanitary court, where
the death rate was double the nor
NAL and where comfort was impos-
sible."
Workers earning $40 Il week classi-
fled their expenditures as follows. lac-

Rent S3.78; food $9J3S; furniture
eighty cents; clothing $3.50; fuel
ninety cents, insurance S1.s6; miscel-

Families of steel workers added Ia
their scanty income by taking single
men TO board the woman witness

in their squalid house was 80 a
month.

From YOUR standpoint and that of your family the most
important law passed during Mr. Tas administration is the
tariff law.
The Tariff Board, and the maximum and minimum pro-
vision alone make this the most useful and notable tariff law
in history.
By the work of Tariff Board the tariff taken out of
politics. and made-what it should be strictly scientific,

favorable trade arrangements with those foreign countries that
will give special privileges manufactures By its
foreign trade has reached since the tariff law

country.
Now, what does this mean to YOU?
1t that it insures good times instead Of hard
times 1t that there plenty of work, instead Of
at good and increasing wages; that YOUR family we'll fed

Mr.. Taft knew what he about when he signed that
tariff BILL He knew that the Tariff Board which he had pro-
posed would take the tariff out Of politics and put sane
business basis for all time. He knew that the
maximum and minimum clause would very tremendously
increase foreign trade Just as it has done:
