other blood diseases because it drives
out Of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be

Nero, who was nearsighted, had a
small transparent jewel, probably an

which he watched the sports in the

Why Everett Citizens Should
Vote In Favor of A Mini
mum Wage Ordinance

Unless all signs fail, the year 1916
will see a great deal of suffering in
this country through unemployment.
While we do not relish the epithet
calamity howler" which our remarks
are almost certain to invoke, sincerity
demands that we recognize and ac-
knowledge the fact that the coming
winter may be very hard one for
wage earners in the northwest Moth
ing can be gained by wilfully ignor.
ing this deplorable probability. Rath.
er let us honestly look facts in the
face and make our preparations ac-
cordingly.
With increasing competition for
jobs, the normal rate of wages will
tend to fall even lower than the cost
of living, at least on the basis of the
average standard in this part of the
world. Such lowering of the wage
scale could result in no benefit to the
people of Everett as a whole. And it
is distinctly to the interest of all per
manent residents of this growing city
that they take steps to maintain a
living wage for city employees, most
of whom are married men, and all of
whom are permanent residents, some
owning their own homes here.
The minimum wage proposed is
$2.65 day, or $S0295 year, on the
basis of 303 working days
The bureau of standards of New
York city has recommended that the
wages of city employees be raised from
1920 to $S40 with increases of $24 aft
er not less than one year in the serv-
ice This is the result of a study of
the cost of living in New York city
and Of the rates of wages for unskill,
ed labor prevailing in New York and
other cities and in private employ
ment a study made for the purpose of
determining the proper wage for un-
skilled laborers. The bureau reached
the conclusion that it is impossible
for an unskilled laborer's family of
five, consisting Of husband, wife and
three children under II yeas of age,
to live in New York city on less than
$S4O a year and maintain a standard
of living consistent with American
ideas
The cost of living in Everett is
higher than in New York, so the pro
posed wage Of $S02.95 a year is GER /
tainly conservative enough for the
most selfish taxpayer. Employees of
the street department in Spokane are
paid So a day, for an eight-hour day.
No one who is not a natural-born
slave-driyer would begrudge our city
employees their miserable stipend of
$265 a day, with the cost of living
still mounting skyWard.

SUBWAY BUILDERS BLAMED

NEW YORK.-Commissio of Ac-
counts Leonard Wallstein has made
an official report to Mayor Mitchell
in which the construction company
is blamed for the two recent subway
cave-ins that resulted in the loss of
many lives and the injury of over 100
persons. The report states the tim
bering consisted "of combination of
wood and steel loosely constructed" ,"
placed in such positions that "the
knocking out of any post below the
steel or any steel beam was sufficient
to collapse the whole structure"
"As to the physical causes of the
accidents, my conclusions as to both
is that the progressive collapses of
roadway were due to inadequate sup
porting structure beneath the sur
face"
The Central Federated Union, rep
resenting organized labor in this city,
had previously declared the accidents
were caused by cheap labor and to
the greed, righteousness and crimi-
nal carelessness of contractors and
city officials alike"

NEW DAY DAWNING

Chicago has set the pace for the
nations cities in the killing and MAIN
ing of workers during labor struggles,
Every strike has demanded its mar
tyrs. But with the action just taken
by Chicago's Socialist aldermen a new
day is beginning to dawn when strikes
will be boodless and crowned with
victory at less sacrifice of human suf-
fering than has been the case in the
past.
This is the first action taken by the
two Socialist aldermen in the Chicago
city council in aid of the 10000 strik-
ing garment workers. 1t is hoped
that this action will result in forcing
the garment barons to arbitrate the
questions at issue.
Socialists and trade unionists by
the thousands sought admission to
this session of the Chicago city coun-
cil Monday night, October 4. But
the frightened Republican administra-
tion packed the galleries with its
henchmen before 6 o'clock. The Chi
cago Federation of Labor had voted
the previous day to attend the coun-
Gil meeting in a body. The Teachers
Federation, 1900 strong, were on hand
with 1000 more teachers belonging to
other organizations. Then there We're
the thousands of garment strikers anX-
ious to see the city fathers perform.
In addition to the discussion of the
garment strike, the council also eX-
pected to receive Mayor Thompson's s
anti-labor appointments to the Board
of Education that is fighting the
teachers
After having jammed the galleries
with Republican machine hirelings,
however, the school board appoint
ments were not made and the strike
situation alone was discussed. The
packing of the city council galleries is
the worst slap Chicago organized la.
Dor mas received lToH lHe pOlillCldHs
in many a day. Future council meet
ings promise to develop the great
demonstrations seen when Yerkes put
over his great traction steals. Only
now labor is more alert and better
organized And most of ALL it has
its representatives on the inside
and it intends to elect more Socialists
to the city council of Chicago next
spring.

COST OF LIVING
GOES EVER UPWARD

A glance backward over the gov
ernment Bureau of Labor statistics
shows that the cost of living in the
United States has been steadily climb
ing upward since the year 1897. TAX
ing 100 as the average cost of living
for the decade 1S9O-1899, we find the
increase to have proceeded from 89.7
in 1897, to 1917 in 1899, 1853 in 1905.
1865 in 1909, 1892 in 1911, 1896 in
1912, and 1852 in 1913, the last year
for which the figures are available at
this time But we all know that the
cost of living has not been lowered
since 1913.
