Chat Of People ono
Events

Consolidation of the Twentieth Cen
tury and the WOman's Club.
The strength of union will attend
the consolidation of the Twentieth
Cenury Club and the Woman's Club
which was effected at a meeting
last week and will result in one of the
strongest and most successful wom-
ems organizations of the State. Plans
are unfolding for work along unusual
and progressive lines; in fact, the
women of Columbus have never be-
fore sponsored such an ambitious and
far-reashing undertaking. Their en-
thusiasm, the spirit of cooperation
and service that animates them, will
doubtless have the reward of full
fillment.
The interior of the beautiful new
club house is rapidly receiving its
finishing touches. 1t is most artistic
and satisfactory in treatment with
its walls where pink, tan and cream
seem blended, with its old ivory wood
work, and it's soft semi-indirect
lighting. The large, formal entertain
ment marking the opening, is sched-
uled as the conspicuous event of
early autumn.
Attention is called to the announce
ment elsewhere in regard to the in
itiation agreed upon, and the time
limit made necessary by the business
organization, and the merging of the
two clubs.
In Compliment to Mrs. Lyon of New
Orleans and Mrs. Barksdale.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN.

Local health officials have launch.
ed a campaign for better health con
ditlons in Columbus. The movement
was inspired by existing health con
dtions in the city which are not as
good as they should be.
The situation is not in the least
alarming, there being only slightly
above the normal amount of general
sickness in the city. But the officials
are desirous Of taking every precau-
tion to safe guard the health of the
community.
To this end the active cooperation
Of all citizens is solicited.

INCREASE OF WAGES AND COST
OF LIVING.

1t has been charged that on former
occasions when the wages of en-
ployes of the mines have been advanc-
ed there has been corresponding in
crease in the prices of living commod-
tiles The Miner has no proof of the
truth of this charge, but 1t has been
repeatedly made The prices of goods
handled by local dealers are of course
subject to frequent change on account
cases the increase in price does not
represent increased profit to the local
merchant or tradesman 1t Is not i'm
al times occurred under these circum-
stances coincident with the wage in
crease, which might have led to I'M
justly charging the local dealer with
arbitrarily advancing his prices on ac-
count of the increase of wages. In
such cases the merchant should have
no difficulty in freeing himself from
suspicion.
The cost of living is now so high
that the man receiving an ordinary
salary has great difficulty in making
ends meet, and it was to relieve this
situation so far as their employees are
that the mining companies
advanced wages. They should now go
one step further and see that the pro-
1teW does not rob them of the benefit.

these Chicago workers is coming from
all over the country. A share of it is
coming from Joplin. And while it il
fine for the dividends to be paid and
the workers to profit thereby. it would
also be fine If our share of this money
could be kept right at home. The big
Chicago mail order house is not con-
tributing anything to the good road
fund in this section. It's employees who
are being helped by us are not repay
ing to us anything in the way of taxes
or business. The money that goes to
Chicago Is inclined to stay there, or
at least it is a long time getting back
here.
If the business all over the country
now going to big mail order houses
was distributed locally where it orig
mates, some Of the Chicago employees
might have to move out of Chicago to
more healthful and enjoyable homes
in the country or smaller cities Of the
land, but where It might hurt Chicago
little 1t would help the rest of the
country.

KEEPING MONEY At HOME.
Joplin GlObe)


Profit sharing, which Is becoming
more popular in the United States,
has a remarkable exemplification in
the case of Sears, Roebuck & Co., OF
Chicago. 1t is estimated that an en-
ploye of this company, earning $25 a
week and depositing per cent of 1t,
or $1.25 a week, with the company's
profit sharing fund, will, at the end of
.wenty years, have to his credit $19,-
144.26 And he will have paid in only
s1267.5O.
This Is figuring. of course, that the
company will continue to make the
huge profits it has been making in re-
cent years. For every dollar put In by
an employee last year the company put

MINING COMPANIES ADVANCE
WAGES OF EMPLOYEES.

The announcement last Saturday by
the mining companies of the Occur
d'Alene district that wages of EN-
ployes had been advanced 80 cents per
day, making the rate 1926 per day,
was received with expressions Of
much satisfaction not alone by those
who are the direct benefciaries, but
by the people of the entire district,
whatever their occupation. High
wages were reduced a few months ago
perity both for the men who receive
ii and the business community that
depends upon the mining industry for
support In justice to the mining
companies it is only fair to state that
they have recognized the hardship
imposed upon their employees since the
wages were reduced a fe wmonths ago
on account of low metal prices and in
anticipation of a substantial decrease
in the cost of living When the latter
failed to materialize, the companies
increased the rate of pay so cents per
day. Since that advance the price of
lead has increased about half cent
and the operators, acting as unit,
have added another so cents to the
daily wage, making the rate the same
that it was during the war when metal
prices were high and there was an un-
limited demand. The restoration of
war wages will not only prove a sub
stantiai relief to employees who have
remained with the companies, but it
is believed that it will accomplish
much toward relieving the labor
shortage which is acute throughout
the district.
ii is hoped that the increase will
also put an emu 10 tle SlIihe ldlh lndt
has more or less disturbed the district
for the past few months. The addi-
ton of 90 cents per day was one of
the demands made by the union, and
while it has not been granted in re-
spouse to that demand, the important
fact is that the addition has been
made and the wage Garner gets the
benefit. With that an accomplished
fact, it is hardly conceivable that en-
ployes would go to the extreme of
striking to gain their contention on
the portal to portal question "a to
force recognition of the union.

people here are not patronizing the
Chautauqua for the purpose of furth-
Ell ing the administration propaganda
in behalf Of the league of nations. That
seems to be the idea of some Of the
speakers on this circuit, according to
the reports from Lewiston, where the
attitude Of Senator Borah and Sena-
tor Poindexter toward the league OF
nations was severely criticized. Nat
urally the Chautauqua is very grateful
to the president for the service he rem
dered it during the war, but some 9TH
err means should be found to repay 1t
than from the Chautauqua platform.
1t is not for this that the people are
putting up their money.

THE RAILROADS AND GOVERN
MENT OWNERSHIP.

There is at least one question that
seems to be permanently eliminated
from the field of economic and politi-
cal discussion. and that is government
Ownership of railroads. OF course,
railroad employees through their or
CARNATIONS will continue to advocate
1t for obvious reasons, and allied la
Dor organizations will uphold them in
a half hearted way. but these after all
represent small fraction of the Am
erican people, and the American peo-
pie have had surfeit of government
necessary for the government to take
over and operate the railroads during
the war, the experience proved an OBJ
ject lesson that confirmed the argu-
ments used against II and convinced
dlsinterested advocates of the system
that their theory was wrong in prac-
tice, Before the experiment was tried
II was easy for the advocates of gov
eminent ownership to deny that oper-
alton Of the railroads by the govern
ment would subject them to political
influence lower the standard of effi-
cheney, destroy discipline and increase
the cost Of service to the public. It is
