MUST KNOW EVERYTHING

ROCHESTER,, N.Y.-The civil serv-
ice commission recently held an ex-
animation for the position of "jani-
tor in charge of steam boilers" and
asked each applicant what expert
ence he had in making repairs to
boilers, engines, pumps, piping, plumb
ing, electric wiring, electric motor,
brick work, plaster, painting, carpen-
ter work, furniture and cabinet work.
Some members of the Steam and
Operating Engineers Union were in
favor of notifying the commission that
it had overlooked a few trades, but
the majority of this local decided that
a protest should be made against city
officials wasting the peoples money
trying to find a 12-in-1 craftsman.

American supremacy after the war
lis an ambition that appeals to the
members of organized labor as
strongly as it does to other citizens.
But labor wants a clear understand
ing of just what is to be meant by
American supremacy
If supremacy shall involve the
draining of the country's wealth for
investment in other markets. while
millions of men and women at home
continue to labor long hours for less
than living wages, labor wants none
of it!
That kind of Supremacy means a
repetition here of what has already
happened in certain foreign countries
Jealousy and ill-will abroad weak
ness and decay at home, and, finally,
when trade rivalries shall have plung-
ed us into war, our defeat at the
hands of any nation which has based
its preparedness and prosperity on
justice to the workers during the
years of peace.
Boasts regarding the nations
wealth and the size of its exports will
mean little to American labor UNTIL
EVERY AMERICAN WAGE-EARN-
Err HAS ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN
HIMSELF AND FAMILY IN COM
FORT AND SECURITY. Nor should
they be a source of pride to any
good citizen until this result HAS
been achieved
American supremacy abroad must
NOT be purchased by squeezing labor
cost AT HOME. Industrial prosper
ity must reach a standard that be-
speaks a just distribution of earnings

ton of Labor

There will be few dull moments at
the coming convention of the State
Federation of Labor in North Yakima.
Convention sessions are always busy
affairs, nor is the social side neglect
ed. Yakima trade unionists are pre-
pairing a program of entertainment
that will make everybody feel that
theirs is a hospitable city. One eve
ming a grand ball is scheduled, and
another evening a banquet. Every
body doesn't dance, but everybody
eats at banquet, that, all but T. V.
Copeland, the Sage of Steilacoom."
He is always too busy putting dele
gates on the toasting fork and roast
ing them to a turn.
Another part of the program which
is being worked out will prove a dis
tinct novelty, something never before
seen at a State Federation conven-
tion, and we'll worth alone the time
and money spent at the convention.
Some months ago Dr. w. N. Lips
comb, field representative of the Ma

Instinctively when you associate a
doctor with a lecture or clinic, you

DR.. Lipscomb. He can crowd more

ADOPT NEW WAGE SCALE

BOSTON.-By a unanimous vote
the Boston Telephone Operators
union has rejected the company's new
wage proposal on the ground that
older members are Disseminated
against. The schedule as adopted
calls for wage of $5 for a student
in school, Sc on assignment as opera
tor, $3.50 at the end of three months,
81 at end of six months, So at the
end of nine months, $3.50 at end of
one year, $3.50 at one and one-half
years, $40 for two years, $1O.50 for
two and one-half years, $11 for three
years, $12 for four years, $13 for five
years and for seven years, SIS.
For the senior operator the scale
adds 81 more a week than the wage
paid a regular operator of the same
rating. The scale for supervisors
calls for $3.50 to SIS, instead of the
company offer of $3.50 to SIS a
week
The assistant chief operators now
receive from $3.50 to SIS a week,
with the company increase calling for
$3.50 to $1S. The union scale will
call for SIS to $21 a week for assistant
chief operators.

BAD TRACKS CAUSE WRECKS

WASHINGTON.-Bad tracks is re-
sponsible for an increased number Of
railroad wrecks, says the interstate
commerce commission in its annual
report 1t is declared tina track con.
ditions which are unsafe for the op-
Grafton of trains at the rate OF speed
permitted are too common In sew
eral of the derailments investigated
by the commission the track condi-
tions were found to be so bad as TO
be actually unsafe for the passage
of trains even at moderate speed, yet
no special speed restrictions were in
force, and it was common practice
for trains to be operated at unsafe
speed over such tracks.
The commission is emphatic in its
plea for greater safeguards for the
travelling public and recommends leg
islaton requiring the standardization
of operating rules and the fixing Of a
minimum penalty of 800 for violation
of the hours Of service act. This law
makes it illegal to compel men in the
railroad service to work more than
16 consecutive hours
