is his platform: Under the common

The churches are to form a trust,

The papers do not say what John

JUDGES Everybody

honest living.
The judges now get $4,000 year.
They ask increase of $4,000 a year.
The judges get their wages from the
poor working people or from the
bosses who should pay the workers
more.
Garment workers work longer
hours for about one-tenth the wages
of a judge. Why shouldn't the judges
aid these strikers? How would they
take it if they are refused a higher
wage?
