 peadjtare of dollars, while penny was cash in the puddle of mud.
 Another admirable frie Il d. noted for his acute business acumen, will walk from one end of town to the other in order to save penny in the price of g twenty-five cent article. It is good business. But we have noticed valuable machinery and implements belonging to that man standing out in all kinds of weather, the iron accommodating the rust that ends in gradual disintegration and the woodwork rotting from constant exposure. A penny saved and dollars rotting and rusting away.
 We know of a certain farmer in this township Ia mighty good man, tool who doesn't take his home paper because it costs a few cents a year. He is great on saving the pennies. Yet on his farm, if you take the trouble to drive by, you will find wagons, mowers, rakes, tedders, machin- cry and implements of every kind still standing without 8 particle of shelter, some of them actually in the fields. Rust will soon get in it's work and push this expensive machinery or toward the junk pile.
 We might go on and enumeratt cases by the dozens, cases o1 people you all know. The story is much the same wherever yot go or turn.
 The immediate penny is saved at the expense of the dollar O tomorrow. We fish around 1T the slimy ooze in search of th' dropped penny, consuming ou time for a paltry cent, when by a little effort and forethough - we should be prolonging the If and usefulness of the article tha cost many dollars.
 The value of a dollar is a hun dred times that of a penny, an yet there are many times in tn lives of us all when we giv more heed to the penny that W

eENNsEs BIGGER THAN DOLLARS

If you were to travel from Canada to the Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, we doubt if you could find anywhere traits of character more admirable than those possessed by our home people.
 And yet even we are not free from many of the vagaries that beset human nature, and especl- ally is this the case in determin- ing the relative value of the pen ny and the dollar.
 Not long ago a warm personal friend dropped a penny in pud- de of soft mud. It was only g penny, worth but one cent, yet our friend promptly dived into the ooze and rescued that penny and restored it to the safety of his pocket. He felt better after the ordeal.
 In the back yard of that same friend was lawn mower of ex- pensive make rusting it's life away in the rain when it might as well have been oiled up and put away in dry place to await the coming of the green grass of summer. The expensive lawn

Oppose P. 0. Speeding Up"

Washington, Jan. 81 Congress
man Van Dyke, a member of the
house committee on labor, has in
troduced bill to prohibit the stop
watch" system or other measuring
devices in the postal service. The
bill is being urged by the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks,
affiliated to the A. F. of L. These
postal workers say the bill Is a
preparedness" measure.
In their estimates to congress
for the coming year the post Office
officials have made provisions for
300 additional clerks. This is
the lowest estimate in years and
will net be sufficient to handle the
departments increasing business,
according to Thomas F. Flaherty,
legislative representative of the post
office clerks. He fears the postal
workers will be speeded up to even
higher pitch than at present, un-
less congress adopts the Van Dyke
measure.
AT no time In the history of the
postal service have complaints been
so general and SO emphatic against
the departmental policy of driving
men," said Mr.. Flaherty. "In-
spectors trail aged letter carriers
around their routes to see If addi-
tional work can be added to these
already harrassed employees. Time
tests of the fastest distributors are
taken and these are made the
standard for all clerks. Complaints
have been made that the hidden

are points of vantage from which
the movements of the men are
watched and timed. In misguid
ed effort to get efficiency the de-
par'ment is breaking it down. We
will urge congress to prohibit ab-
solutely the use of stop watch
and restore to the employees a nor
NAL system of supervision of their
work"

Two year contracts have been
signed by the feundries in Cincin-
natl. The contracts call for nine
hour day and wages s4.00 per day.
The strike was satisfactory ad-
justed with the H P. Deuscher
company in Hamilton last Monday.
The molders secured minimum
rate of wages of $3.50 and a sub-
stantial increase on all piece work.
All of the strikers were taken back.
Negotiations are on at the Peerless

THE delegates to the central
body again turned down the invi-
tation of the Chamber of Commerce
to become part of the City Beau
ti6cation committee. 1t is not be-
cause they do not want to take part
in a movement of this kind, but
they are somewhat skeptical as TO
what might be done after they be-
come affiliated. In other words
they are afraid that the organiza-
ton might be transformed into a
political organization which would
certainly go against the grain of
some of the council delegates.

WHAT influence was used to
make the Beatty brothers scab ?
This question has been asked a
hundred times by many of the
trades unionists and also by some
of the business men In the city who
know them. It would hardly seem
possible that these brothers would
threw down a steady job to take
the places of men who were on
strike for better conditions, but
that Is just what they did. We
are Informed from a reliable source
that they were employed all through
the hard times in the Buckeye
foundry, at Overpeck. When the
molders of the East Hamilton foun-
dry struck for better conditions
the Beatty brothers Immediately &C
cepted positions in that foundry,
knowing at the time that strike
existed. There must have been
some attraction or influence brought
to bear on these men, or perhaps
they received little more wages
than they were getting to turn
traitors to all the union men in the
whole world. After accepting the
honor able position as strike break
ers they were furnished with an
automobile to transport them from
the East Hamilton foundry to
Overpeck where we are told they
reside. On their way to and from
the foundry they contracted the
habit of stopping off in saloons and
hitting up a few. While In these
places they also got the habit of
telling how we'll the foundry had
fortified them with guns, revolvers
and other artillery. Not only did
they boast of their arsenal but In
vited the men in the place to come
out and see it. Thew were brave
men these Beatty brothers, now
understand, not frem the union
mans point of view. but from their
they are brave men in
deed. Brave and true to the mas
ter. but Iscariots to the thousands
of trade unionists and their families.
What influence was used to make
them so?
