SUCH LUNATICS COMMON

The escaped lunatic stopped and

the path. The little enclosure was
neatly kept, and bright with flowers,
bordering a strip of green sward.
The man who was working straight

from his face. Good morning" nod

you have here"
Eyes, tits rather nice"
Lived here long,"
About ten years"
Takes lot of time to keep a place
looking good"
Eyes, it does. l put in about all my
spare time"
still, it's satisfaction to have
nice surroundings"

was full of weeds and rubbish. Hadn't
been cared for at all"

pays three or four gardeners to do it. u

for letting me live here"
Then, of course, he lets you have

'Ha, ha! You're funny. aren't you?
Why, he charges me more on account
of improved property"
"And won't the house and garden

Not likely. It's all can do now to

HOW WOMEN CAN
HELP UNIONISM

Members of local unions, or at least
very many of them, little realize what
great assistance their wives could
render them in the way of unionizing
workshops and factories if they were
only educated to the importance of the
purchase of union label articles, says
writer in the Switchman's Journal
for October. But few of them, it is
true, can be used as strikers to enforce
union work conditions from manufac-
turers from the fact that they are en-
ployes. But they are the chief pur-
chasing agents for workmen's families
and, as such, have a far greater lev
erage and a more peaceful one with
which to see that decent work condi-
tions prevail where their purchases
are made than have their husbands
and children, who are forced to strike.
This gentle power that can be SO sue
cessfully applied is condition before
any purchase is made that the union
trade mark appears thereon.
Great credit is due, of course, to the
men who have so nobly fought for
and secured so much for their crafts
men in the way of union environment,
but entirely too little attention has
been devoted by trade unions towards
educating their members wives to the
importance of their purchasing power
as a means of unionizing workshops
and factories.
AS the demand for union label goods
to that extent will store shelves be
laden with such articles and union
families and their friends use them.
Union labor should avail itself Of ev-
cry opportunity and advantage to has
ten the time when stores will carry a
complete line of label goods. Certain
ly the education of the wife to insist
upon the purchase of such goods is
too important an asset toward the rea-
lization of such goal to be neglected.

OUT OF LUDLOW ENERGIES
THE EFFECT OF LUDLOW
By JOHN McLENNAN

1t would be trite and commonplace
to say that where there is a cause
there must be an effect. Yet old and
ordinary things are proved anew each
day, and Ludlow, it's grief and tears
it's smoke and ruin-Ludlow, it's empty
aching hearts and crowded, sorrowful
morgue, is but the cause which pro-
duce its effect
The primary cause of that day of
tears, sadness and disaster is well
known. 1t was the outgrowth of years
of careless politics; scant heed or no
heed to the workers; much regard and
still more regard for capital, and over
long continuation of the time when
one man, spite of ceaseless toll, grew
poorer, while his neighbor, spite Of
idleness, grew richer.
Ludlow found elimination in the
massing of soldiers of fortune in the
guise of militiamen; in the hiring of
wanderers for police duty; in the as
sembling of non-citizens and wastrels
to uphold a system which has been
growing for years, and yet during
those years had been tottering to its
fall. Had there been no harsh capital,
fancying itself unsafe because of long
practiced depredations, there would
have ben no private mine guards.
And had there been no private mine
guards there would have been no Lud-
low.
Men do not stand up to be shot for
the fun of it, Mothers do not sit by
and see their babes burned and smoth-
cred just as a pastime. Children do
not run into a hail of bullets and
deluge of fire just for the novelty. 1t
was not the strike, but the system be-
hind the strike which caused this in
dustrial cataclysm.
But with our dead honorably and de-
Gently buried and our tears wiped
away. we may pause to consider the

Efficiency!

Until my heart with doubt is wrung;

SOUND MONEY
BY THEODORE TEEPE

! Money is a mere token of wealth.
1t Is a means of transforming wealth
or labor power into a sign or token
of wealth printed on paper. This tok-
en- or sign can then be exchanged in
the open market for the kind of wealth
or labor power desired. Money is a
process Of alchemy by which one kind
of wealth is changed into another by
means Of token or symbol of wealth.
In a complex state of society where
exchanges are effected running into
billions upon billions of dollars and
reaching the furthermost parts of the
earth, it is worth a fabulous price to
have the monopoly of such an ex-
change system. If this exchange could
be effected on basis of pure book
keeping, all it would cost traders
would be the cost of the bookkeeping
and the charge for looking after the
security. This would be a pure labor
service.
1t is for that reason that bankers
have made gold the basis of our money
system. Gold is limited in quantity
and requires labor power to produce
! (discover) it. Before an indirect ex-
change can be made, gold must be
had. The total amount of exchange is
| limited in a decided degree by the
amount of gold in use. Therefore
traders bid against each other for the
use Of gold that they may effect their
exchange or trade. This bidding for
the use of the one particular commo-
dity which it is necessary to have be-
fore an indirect exchange can be
made, is the cause of nearly all inter-
est.
BY limiting trades to those who can
buy the use of gold, bankers make i'm
mense fortunes. If trades could make
their exchanges by means of book
keeping, or, in other words, by means
Of paper money, all trades who pos
sessed commercial wealth could get
money. There would be no bidding
for the use of the service and there
fore no interest charges where the Sc
curity was absolutely sound
To limit indirect trading to those
who can hire the use of a chunk of
gold, is the purest folly The gold
basis is the root of the interest system
and the most important step in bring
ing about a sound money system is
the elimination of the gold standard
and the substitution of the loose leaf
bookkeeping (paper money! system of
exchange.

days before Ludlow 1t is afraid Of
the sentiment aroused; it is diligent
in soothing the public wrath; it is
loud in the protestation that it wants
to be just and fair:
Capital lost public approval at Lud-
low and is solictous to regain it. The
fires which burned women and chill
dren and their homes also consumed
the last shred of respect which the
people had for the man who walks to
vast wealth over the bowed and sweat
ing backs of his employees.
The lead which snuffed out the
lives of the men also moved down the
glamor which the people had mad
vertently built up around the man Of
riches.
The nation awoke to the fact that
the workers had their rights which for
too long had been unrecognized. The
country as a whole realized that the
man who creates wealth must be reck-
wealth. And all the people stood
ready to admit that the worker who
