The Real Issue

the real issue Of this strike
The real issue is sUNIoN RECOGNITION AND THE

How the Strike Came

About May 18th, handbils over the name
"Teamsters and Truck Drivers and Helpers Union
No. 211" announced to "All Team and Trick Own
ers" that '@the following minimum scale of wages
shall be in effect on and after May 80, 1919"
~ No employer was approached by his men on the
subject No complaint was voiced, either then or
before or since that time, with any employer by
his own employees, although every employer was
ready and willing at all times to meet and discuss
with his own employees any complaint they might
have. u>
No argument has been offered to justify this ul-
timatum This union ultimatum has not been ex-
planned or defended. It said for the men who put
it out, Fright or Wrong, We Want More. Come
Across"
The inability of team and truck owners to "come
across" has been followed by widespread strike.

WHY?
Are Wages Fair Today?

Look at the schedule printed in this statment.
Note the increase in wages voluntarily granted
by employers since 1914.
Note that the percentage of increase during the
war is greater than the increase in the cost Of living
Note that the wages paid now to these employees
are higher than the salaries of many trained men
and women, who work as teachers, statesmen, book
keepers, clerks, stenographers, and skilled work

Remember, that the work Of team and truck

YOUR INCOME TAX

With the passag ge of the new revenue bill the problem of making out an in come tax return for 1918 is presented to millions of taxpayers.
 Last yea" the taxpayer had to keep in mind the provisions of the 1916 and 1917 acts, both of which were effective. This year he has only one law to con- slider. The new revenue bill, however, contains a number of important changes, with which. in order fully to comply with the law, taxpayers must acquaint themselves.
 Probably the most important change Individuals is the rate, the exemptions of $1 GOO for single persons and $2 eco for married persons and heads of families remaining the same as under the 1917 act. The normal rate of tax under the new act is 6 per cent. on the first $4,000 of net income above the exemptions and F per cent. on the remaining net income. This ap- plies to every citizen and resident of the United States. Alien non-resi- dents of the United States having property here are taxed on the income from that property to the full F per cent. of the normal tax. For 1919 and subsequent years, the rates are fixed at and per cent, respectively. Un- der the 1917 act the normal rate was 
 per cent. on net income in excess of the exemptions.
 The new bill provides an exemption of s200 for each person dependent upon the taxpayer for chief support, if such person is under IS years of age, or in-
 capable of self support. Under the
 1917 act the s200 exemption was grant
 ed only for each dependent child o1
 the person making the return, or wher LN- family for each dependent child of 2 family \ head of a family is one who supports one or more persons closely connected with him by blood relation ship, relationship by marriage or bJ adoption.
 The period for filing ends March 15 The tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return, or in foul installments, the first of which is dut on or before March 15, the second or or before June 15, the third on or be-

FARM PRODUCE BY MAIL,

It was not so long ago that great prospects for the development of par eel post service were seen by extend- ing it so as to handle farm produce, and motor truck service was insti-
 tuted over large sections of the coun- try in order to take care of such bus mess with the many parcels or varv- ing sizes which were expected to be received as the trade between the
 producer and consumer was built up.
 It has. however failed to come LID 10 expectations. The farm to table trade by mail has not done a rushing business. There have been routes which have shown good results or give promise of satisfactory develop rnent and it was the dssire of the postoffice department that its appro- priation bill should carry @ provision for a million dollars to take care of such service during the coming year.
 That such was not justified re- sardless of the departmental recom- niendation Was shown by the report Gt . committee of nine postotlice in-

THE CAPE COD CANAL,

Congress is again being urged to make an appropriation for the pur- chase of the Cape Cod canal, the in- land waterway which makes it possi- ble to eliminate the dangers of the trip through the narrow channel of Vineyard sound and the shoals of the cape and which not only shortens the route by 90 miles or more but makes it possible to save the time which is lost by vessels remaining in harbor because of storms or unfavorable weather conditions which navigators do not like to encounter at what has long since become known as one of the graveyards of the Atlantic coast.
 Some months ago the control of this waterway was taken over by the railroad administration and has since been operated thereby. In order to keep it in proper condition and per init of a 25-foot channel it has been necessary to spend in the neighbor- hood of half million upon the canal, all of which will be to the benefit Of the owners when the control is re- linquished, and it has been put forth as the desire of the railroad admin istration to turn back the waterway tt the end of this month unless the government decides to buy.
 Engineers have been named to in- vcstigatc the canal conditions and to fix what they consider a fair price for it. In behalf of the bill for the purchase it is asked that ten million dollars be appropriated which would include not only the sum necessary to acquire it but q sufficient sum to maintain it for a year. That how ever, would only be beginning for the deepening and widening of tha canal will be necessary If if is going to accommodate the coastwise traffic that ought to utilize it's advantages It rests with congress, however to de- terrninc whether it has sufficient funds at the present time to make g start on this undertaking.

A SENSIBLE AGREEMENT.

Announcement 10 the effect that the strike of tho building trade unions is going to be submitted to arbitration shows that 9 Sensible decision has been reached, and it is to be hopl q that it will be the course that will be pursued in connection with other la tor troubles.
 Evep though building operations have not experienced such q spurt that the strike was going to throw ihc whole industrial machinery out oi joint it was called at q time when ir was bolnt tc add to the coqtuston which is already existing as tho re- suit of the efforts to bring about a readjustmont of conditions. It meant an increased amount of unrest, an addition to the number or unemployed and q swC''ir, uf ta4 labor tl,2uhlcs st a time when every effort ought to te bent in the opposite direction. Those who needed the work were de- priving themselves f it and turning down good wages in their fight for an increase when the tendency Of prices is downward. There were also complications involved as to whether tho demands being made were in vio- lation Of existing agreements.
 In view therefore of cmpI )ymen- con- ditions and the advist5Hiry of bring ing about an adjustment in accord . anoe with the facts. the decision to resort to arbitration displays good judgment There is thus adopted a method which can bring about a jus tifed solution of the trouble with the undesirable accompaniments of strife, building stagnation and losses for everyone involved The stoppage of such industry throughout the country would affect far more than those di- rectly involved and the agreement which has been reached cannot fail 10 he regarded as the one logical course 10 bo pursued under this and all such circumstances.

Daylight Saving.

Mir Editor: We have read with in terest the letJ~r Of Farmer No. 5 Of Willimantic who is opposed to the daylight saving plan and are some what amused at his magnificent flow of hunlor and wide range of argument and reason in support Of his opposi- ticn. But he surely will admit that tEe digger who goes out in the early morning hour and gets his clans ar6 either sells them or furnishes a good meal f5r himself and family is far ahead of the mar that lies in bed and does nothing. Seashore clans and farm clans are soth alike each in t1e mud and good for nothing until some digger e|ther with a fork or ar aroused ambition routs them out and makes them do their part toward feeding the people of the world. Idl- CTS and clans are just alike. one draws his sustenance from the great useful ocean and gives nothing in re turn. The other draws his living from the great storehouse of industry and does nothing. Both are useless.
 We have observed over a period of many years farms that are run down and dilapidated. The women over worked and held to the grindstone with not even the vote to help better their
 
 key bottle and cider barrel and the man in the place doing nothing with the daylight hours as they g by. you do not like the rlar there is noth- ing to prevent you from leaving yo'- cid clock just where it is and doing your work in the same old way, tag ging along an hour late behind the happy busy hustline throng on its march of progress. When a vast F jority made up of most progressive people the brightest minds and keen- est intellects of the bu:incES world in this and other nations approve the plan 1t does not seem possible that anyone should oppose it. We are en- tering upon a new period Of recon struction and prosperity and need the extra hour of daylight. So come on brothers, set the old clock ahead and join the procession. Spit in your hands and take a new hold of this great reconstruction problem and helr keep this grand old nation of ours ir the forefront of the nations of the world.
 Respectfully,

MEXICAN INVESTMENTS.

Mexico has always been suffering from a lack Of money. The situation IS no different today than it has ever been except that the need is increas-
 ing of getting financial assistance. Such being the case it must be real ized that the Carranza government cannot maintain au attitude Of hos tility to those upon whom it must rely for such help if it expects to get it. No matter how much dependence was placed by the head of that gov ernment upon the ultimate success of Germany in the war iIow much Ger man money had been expended there or what future assistance was antici- pated if Germany won, it is quite evident that any such ideas have been shown to be nothing but dreams Mex ico must dock elsewhere for what if nancial aid it gets.
 It is perfectly apparent therefore that it must turn back to old friends and right on top of the arrogant at titude which has been manifested there comes the announcement to the effect that an international commit tee of bankers has been created to look after American. British and French investments ir that country. To think of getting support from such countries as this committee repre- sents in order to restore it's credit is out of the question as long as the in vestments of the subjects of those countries are in danger. Such a committee will unquestionably have no slight effect upon the Mexican at titude in the future for If that coun- | try is going to better it's own condi- tions it must get financial assistance and it certainly will not be able to | do that unless it is ready to show the proper attitude towards the existing
 investments in Mexican railroads,
 mines and oil lands. It is a move
 to make Mexico fully realize its sit- nation.
