TRACTION WAGES

car fare on account OF the high
cost OF living and material. Now.
Mr.. Editor. some OF their employees
have been working long hours per

not one word have | ever heard OF
those mems wages being raised on
account OF the high cost of living
Those men went to the company
and asked for a 25-cent raise. and
were fatty turned down. Those
men acted honestly with the COM
pany and asked for the small ad-
vance OF 20 cents in n gentlemanly
way. and were turned down in a
very ungentlemanly way.

with their employees everything
would be running along smoothly
