Find Wages Are Too Small.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Oficers
of the associated charities report
that many Of TIE demands made
upon them are not by the so called
down and outs. or even by the
unemployed, but by families that
need some assistance to supplement
incomes too sma ! for self support.
One official said:
"One Of the greatest problems
is with those families that, through
no fault of their own, cannot make
both ends meet, This is because
the wages paid for certain labor is
too small The daily wage Garner,
the street sweeper, for example,
finds 81. so too small to maintain
family to begin with, and then
there are frequent layoffs because Of
the weather. The result of this
condition is that children in those
families are either sent out to work,
and fail to get an education by
which they could improve their
condition, or they are kept at home
and are poorly fed and suffer ply
steal consequences. "
1t was stated that one family,
consisting of a man aud wife and
four children under 16, is entirely
self supporting" on weekly wage
of Sis, divided as follows; Food,
ST 80; rent, 81 rs; clothing, 50;
fuel and light, so cents; insurance,
% cents, and incidentals, 81.
1t was not stated what these min
iature Wall street fnanciers will do
when sickness or unemployment
overtakes them.

ization Among All Who Work-Quick
Action is Needed to Seize the Oppor-
tunity at Its Best.
A most momentous alternative is
presented to the workers of our coun-
try. AS result of war conditions
some industries have now immense
contracts secured on most highly favor
able terms. Other nations needs have
given work to men and women who
have lived through year in which
unemployment has been greater than
usual
Whether or not this opportunity
comes to the industries of our country
through perfdy or greed of other ma
tions does not alter conditions that con-
front US In this country. The problem
of Americas workers is whether the
employer shall use them as a means
to secure greater profits from the pres
ent necessity of other nations or wheth-
er this terrible world calamity shall be
used to promote the welfare of at least
a few of the worlds workers.
Many workers have already decided
that they will see to it that humanity
shares whatever opportunity shall
come out of the terrible war. Already
there has been raised the slogan of the
eight hour workday for all workers,
and that demand has been and is being
made more effective.
This spirit of enlightened self in
terest and industrial craftsmanship
among these workers is infectious the
slogan eight hours has been echoed
by others. The workers have it In
their power to make that slogan an ir
resistible force. Employers feel the
impulse that sends its throb OF hope
and inspiration out among all the toll
ers: many feel and grant in advance
demands they realize will be made, and
justly made Even the United States
steel trust has increased wages. 1t
granted them in advance because il did
not want the workers to know the feel
Ing and the experience that become
part of the characters of workers who
make demands for justice and secure
them through their own organized
power.
This is the time for campaign for
Organization campaign that shall en-
able the workers 10 become responsible.
resourceful participants III Americas
Industries. 1t is an opportunity TO de
yelop individual independence, re-
sourcefulness and understanding that
constitute the vilility of the nation
The organized workers who know
and value the power of organization
must feel the heavy personal respon
sibility for doing part in this or
ganizing campaign.
Organization is not only necessary
for taking advantage of present op-
Dortunities but TO nr0tect the workers
m the conyulstve period of readjust-
ment that will follow the war Either
the forces of greed ana cruelty will
use the workers or the workers will
use organization to make the forces
of greed and cruelly serve human well

Hundreds of Wachinists were
there to hear the message
Of the Eight-Hour Movement.

Hundreds Of interested macbin
lists who gathered in Eagles Tenn
pie last TUESDAY night were treated
with one of the best addresses ever
delivered in this CITY by a labor
represy yntative. Mr. Arthur l..
Holder, Chairman of the Law Com
mittee of the International Associa-
tior of Machintsts Of Washington,
D. c 7, was the principal speaker of
the evening

George Wiseman, president of the
Co cooperative Trades ard Labor
Council and who acted as hartman
throughout the meeting. H first

utes Of what the machinists were

zation Organizer Mcmahon who
has been in this city fer several
weeks was next introduced AID in
his talk TO the audience be stat d
that he did not intend 10 take up
the time and that he realized that
they had come TO tue meeting to
hear Mr.. Holder whom he said was
a personal friend Of his, and who is
the best educated u al in the coun
try on trades unionism.
The Niles Harmony Four con
sisting of Bert Phillips, ] Hayden,
c. Spivy and c. Hayes and assis-
! ted by Miss Goodman on the piano
rendered some very nice selections
The boys were applauded time and
again
Chairman Wisemau then intro
duced Mr.. Holder and he was
greeted with much applause. He
talked for more than an hour and
in one of is remarks said that the
workingmen have reached a stage
that requires heroic treatment,
heroic acticn and something to save
it from the degradation of selfish
ness and indifference. Mr.. Holder
told of his visit throughout the
New England states before coming
to the garden spot of the world
Hamilton. All through his talk
Holder gave witty illusti ations OF
how the machiuists could through
the organization better their condi-
tions a1d also those who We're de
lpendent upon them. He urged the
machinists TO get together and to
stick and if this was done the eight
hour day with no reduction in
wages would be accomplished in
very short time. He also urged
the machinists to use some of their
time when they secured the eight
hour day 10 reading boeks aud to
become better educated Holder
left at one clock Wednesday af
ternoon for Cincinnati where he
will address the thousands of ma
chinists who are making a stand
for the eight hour day also.
After Mr.. Holder finished his
talk organizer Griffith again took
the floor and when he asked the
audience to give three cheers for
eight hours the building trembled.
The cheering clearly demonstrated
the earnestness of the machinists in
their demands on the local fac
tories.
