RISING COST OF LIVING

As II becomes better known that
the average wages paid by manufac-
turers bears no relation to the rapidly
increasing value of the product per
worker, the old gag that business men
"pay all they can afford" etc, is not
so often played up; instead, we see
the bosses and commissions" getting
down to the good old MARKHAM method
of how to determine what wages to
pay In this or that locality; namely,
what is the average cost of the aver
age wage-slaves keep" in a given
time and place.
Not long ago investigators found
that 5000 year was the minimum
sum upon which working-class fam
lily of five could live and breed-al-
lowing, of course. merely for sheer
necessities. things needed TO keep up
the workers efficiency" The aver
age wage of heads of families is far
below this, being something around
$500.
Now comes another, up-to-date fig
ure from New York City. The bureau

ates, which fixes all salaries in mum.
cipal departments, has decided that
$1,000 a year is a living wage in this
city. In report to the board of

figures are taken as the basis for

COMRADE NEVIN'S FINAL
ARTICLE ON HOW TO
BUILD PARTY PRESS
BY CHARLES w. ERWIN
THE FIRST THING


In this paper are facts that you
won't find in some other papers
That's the reason we publish It. These
things are of vital Importance to you
That's the reason the other papers
don't print EN- This paper Ia printed
in the interest of the workers. The
other papers are printed in the inter
est OF those who work the workers.
This means that every interest in
this locality that thinks it might be
hurt by our telling you the truth is
doing all 1t can to prevent this paper
from prospecting as 1t should We
don't blame 'em in the least. We don't
expect their support for the same rea-
son that we do expect yours. Our
success Is a bad thing for them be-
cause It's good thing for you.
We want to tell you how you can
do two things that will make this
paper the success IL should be. Meth
er OF these two things are hard to do
or will they cost you much time or
can prevent this paper from being the
big success 1t should be.
First-we ask you to secure us at
least one new subscriber. II you do
this we will double our circulation.
Better circulation means better health
for us just the same as It does for the
body. We already have goodly
number of you and the more of you
we have the more efficient work we
can do
II the things that we print are
good things for you to know they're
good things for the man or woman
who works beside you to know. Until
a majority Of us do know them we're
not going to get the boss off our back.
Self-interest should therefore spur
you on to gain as many new readers
| of the truths we print as opportunity
affords you.
On page you will find a coupon
Before you receive another copy of
this paper try to have the name of
at least one new subscriber on this
| coupon and send or bring it to us with
the price of the subscription. If ev.
cry one of you do this it means we
will double the number of you next
week. And it's such an easy thing
to do.

To Things for You To Do
THE SECOND THING


The second thing we want you to
do is, If anything, even more easy
than the first 1t is however absoIu-
tely vital to the growth Of this paper.
You remember we reminded you that
we were publishing this paper in the
capitalist system and that we had to
pay the toll that the lords Of this sys-
TEN exact from us all We showed
you how with your help we could over
come this handicap. We showed you
how 1t had been done. We told you
the story of the Monitor" We can
duplicate this story right here in Ev-
erett If you will get on the job in the
same way that the readers of that
paper got on theirs.
You have to buy things to live.
don't you? And you don't care who
you buy 'em from, do you? That is
If you don't have to pay one merchant
more than another for the same quail
ity and quantity. The next time that
you have to buy anything that you
will find advertised in this paper buy
1t from those who buy space in our
columns. And when you do 1t don't
forget to tell the merchant why you
are buying from him in place of the
other fellow who doesn't advertise
with us. II you don't do that 1t will
do US no good. You know what hap
pened to the Monitor" when its read.

is made up Of all OF you.
TO SUM UP. We're chained to our
fellow-workers. We can only get free
by helping to free them. We've got
to show them how together we can
do the job. The printed word is one
OF the most efficient methods of reach
ing them with certain truths that thew
must know before they can be induced
TO join us in the fight we are making
for better day for all of us. And
these truths have to be put before
them continuously to be convincing.
That's what this paper is for. We
can only reach them with your help.
1t costs money to do it. We can only
get the money by selling advertising
space. And we can sell this space if
you will buy from those who buy it
from us.

PLAN FOR BIRTHDAY
CELEBRATION APPROVED
BY LOCALS EVERYWHERE
Several Birthday Parties Given
MORE TO FOLLOW

These are busy days around the Of
flee of the Washington Socialist
Plans are under way for the birthday
number, and already many responses
have come in, the first two being John
Wilson, of Loon Lake, and NJ. ]. Dona-
hue, of Quincy.
1t is our intention to send sample
copies of this special issue to every
nook and corner of the state.
Local Traitor gave birthday party
on the 9th, and Local Arlington on
the 18th. Other locals have plans
in the making. AS stated before, the
results will be published on Feb 4.
Readers Of the Washington Socialist
should congratulate themselves that
the paper is doing so well in a fin
ancial way, in view of the fact that
many Socialist papers throughout the
country are quite discouraged over
the depression caused by the hard
times of the past year One in par
ticular, and a state-owned paper, at
that makes the frank statement, in
last weeks issue, that in spite of the
utmost economy the paper now faces
an indebtedness of $4,000, and a week
ly deficit of from $40 to $50 They
complained that pledges were not be-
ing fulfilled, and stated that if more
interest was not manifested they
could not much longer carry on the
fight.
This is the tenor of the statements
made by many other of our papers

years and slack seasons and setting

them increases again in private bust.
ness" Successful operation of public
works in several countries is cited.
Limitations on child labor, thorough
industrial training, a revival of agri-
culture and country life, and con
structive policy of regulating and dis
tributing immigration, are coupled
with the regulation of working hours
of adults as possible steps in prevent
ing of absorbing the surplus of labor
which intensifics the unemployment
problem in large industrial centers.
For those who nevertheless are I'M
employed although able and willing
to work, it is proposed that unemploy-
ment insurance such as is in opera
ton in England since 1913 be estab-
lished in America also Out-of-work
benefits by trade unions, either as
sisted or not assisted by public con-
tributions, and a national system of
public unemployment insurance, are
suggested as possible methods. All
have found successful application in
various countries.
When all these steps have been
taken, it is pointed out, there still re-
mains the problem of the unemploy-
able, including those who are sick,
aged, inefficient, feeble minded, or
semi-criminal, as we'll as those who
refuse to work, To those different
groups it is proposed to give varied
constructive care, aiming wherever
possible at their early restoration to
normal working life and independence.
The general scheme of economic re-
construction and organization out
lined will, its hackers believe, lead to
conspicuous and permanent improve
ment The plan is being widely cir
culated for criticism and suggestions.

THOSE WICKED
CORPORATIONS

The anlmosity manifested toward
corporations by so many people who
are nevertheless opposed to public
ownership OF public utilities, is mere
ly an expression of smouldering envy
and spitefulness, They belong to
that large class OF flag-worshlppers
who rob their own government by
evading taxation. customs duties, or
through any means at their hand.
They are legitimate children OF capt.
talism, mean, dishonest, and 'patri-
otic"--with their mouths.

ASK HIM WHY NOT?"

Comrades, II you are dealing with a
merchant who doesn't advertise in
your paper. ask him why he does not
do SO Reciprocity is no more than
fair play If you patronize him, let
him in turn patronize The Washing.
ton Socialist. Our advertisers get
good results. BY inducing your deal
er to advertise in your paper you help
his business and he helps your cause.
Isn't this a fair exchange? Speak to
him about 1t right away, and If he's
amenable to reason, Wen call on him
and get his advertisement.

GENEROUS RESPONSE

: that are bravely struggling for their
lives. This situation, it is conceded
by all of them, is due to the extreme
ly hard times which the workers feel
so bitterly everywhere.
In view of all this, we Socialists in
Washington should be glad that we
start the year with a clean sheet.
There are no back bills waiting to be
paid. BUT REMEMBER, WE MUST
PAY OUR CURRENT EXPENSES,
which are less than $500 a month. OF
this amount about $500 is obtained
from advertising WE MUST KEEP
UP THE SUBSCRIPTION LIST as
everything depends upon that
So the battle must go on harder
than ever. We should have few dol
lars ahead to tide us over a dull
month, which is bound to be met with
now and then
There never was a time when CON
certed action was more necessary than
right now. Each reader should feel
that the responsibility rests with him
AS a former editor used to say:
Each one should feel that the sue
cess or failure of the paper depends
entirely upon his efforts"
With spirit of determination that
will acknowledge no defeat, each
reader should endeavor to get one
more reader, if only for a 10c trial
subscription. Send in the name of
the Henry Dubb that lives near you.
Some of our Henry Dubb readers of
year ago are red-card members now.
Remember, comrades, that this is no
time to rest on the oars.
Let us make the list of names that
will be printed in the birthday issue,
one that will make every reader
proud of his share in this work. So
do what you can, no matter how lit
tie, and DO TT NOW!

REORGANIZATION of industry, estab.

public work, prevention or absorption
of surplus labor, unemployment insur-

employable, are the six steps proposed
in a practical program for the proven
ton of unemployment just issued in
a twenty-page report by DR.. John B.
Andrews, secretary of the American
Association on Unemployment, from
the associations headquarters at 131
East 23d St, New York
"The time is past" says DR.. An
drews, when the problem Of unem-
ployment could be disposed of either
by ignoring it, as was the practice I'M
til recent years in America, or by at
tributing it to mere laziness and in
efficiency, We are beginning to re-
cognize that the causes of unemploy-
ment are not so much individual and
due to the shiftlessness of won't

present method of industrial organiza-

Employers, employees and the public

have a duty in helping to regularize
industry, By establishing employ

planning output ahead, offering in
ducements for slack season trade and
