bill, and the second measure, amend

Board, would extend its authority
over ownership and transfer of YES

In Industrial World.

In these days of industrial abnormal
ity and unrest employers are perhaps
most deeply concerned with the prob
lem of how to keep workers In their
employ. Most appropriate Is the doc
trine expressed by writer In the Sur
vey, who pertinently says; III the
wage Garner is to be kept on the Job,
means must be taken to make the JOB
worth whlle.* He finds that wages
are vastly important in this reckoning.
For example, wages Of United States
Steel corporation workers have been
repeatedly increased the last two years
80 per cent, indeed, in FL months.
But, checking against that the increas-
ed cost of food at wholesale, one finds
an advance of 1923 per cent
So certain industrial and commercial
concerns have sought means Of advanc-
ing wages automatically to correspond
with increases In the cost Of living.
One of these is cited which adopted
q bonus plan whereby each employee
rated ct less than $4,000 a year receives
in addition to his regular pay singh
cost of living envelope. the contents
Of which fiuctuate with changes In
prices. Thus In January, 1917. these
envelopes contained an additional 10
per cent based on regular wages and
In December last the bonus was 82.7o
per cent. Others have established sim
liar methods.
A large concern In Detroit found In
1915 that IL was having difficulty In
keeping Its men. Following an inves-
tgation, wages were elevated 10 meet
the company's estimate Of the mini
mum cost Of living for 0 family OF

the stores thereabouts were elevated
to absorb all this increase. That stu
alton was met by the company's start

See their FURNISHED weapons flashing

But the splendid upright boys who

Are the grandsons of the boys OF 81.
As then. so now, for human rights
they're marching
But now against foe across the sea,
That nevermore tyrant's host shall
trample
In cruel hate a people who are free,
Could we stand and see a sister
nation perish
UNFOLDING freedoms banner all alone,
While every ideal they SO grandly
cherish
Is counterpart of ideals OF our own?
We wholly trust them with our
country's honor,
In their hands the precious flag those
other boys bore,
And we know, that every star that
has since been added
viii enhance the glory Of the stars
that shone before.
That our beautiful stars may shine
undimmed for ages,
Uplifting the hearts of men adown
the years,
We freely dedicate our best and
dearest to their service,
Though with pride that is blent with
tears
That their courage shall never fall
them while they are armed with
righteous steel,
Nor their faith the blighting chill OF
utter disappointment feel,
II is the best and foremost duty OF
one and all in these home-lands,
To give them every reinforcement
that lies within our hands.
