THAT local LARoR SMILE.

1t costs more to live. to be sure, but
with more money to pay for that Iiv-
ing. it means, plenty of action in the
income and outgo of the weekly or
semi monthly pay checks.
Topeka is especially fortunate in her
general conditions just at this time.
Take the clerk in the Santa Fe Of
fices. His old salary Was based on his
years OF service. and to some extent
the ability of the boss to keep him on
the minimum scale. Now the young
girls doing mailing and filing are re-
ceiving salaries larger than the former
clerk while the clerk. for the first time
in his life, is wearing the smile Of one
who feels that he has done something
and has been given recognition for it.
Likewise there is that sentiment of
satisfaction in the Santa Fe shops.
Additional raises are coming and the
men are undoubtedly due to receive
what is due them.
Wages all over the city are at high
standard and there is plenty of work
for everyone.
with the exception of one walkout.
the city is industrlally active and pro-
gressive.

HELPLESSNESS OF STRIKE
CONTROL.

l
The United States stands helples:
before a widespread strike of the pro-
/ portions OF the steel walkout.
The fact remains that this country
is not properly equipped to handle la
Dor troubles of general effect.
| 1t so happens that the steel strike
does not hit the home of the average
man with the blow that would result
from a general railway waikout, but
the utter lack of legal control stands
paramount In its starkness before the
public.
The Topeka Industrial council has
taken a wise move. If facts have ben
presented to us in the correct manner.
The local unions. by making a thoro
study of the steel strike and its allied
and affiliated trades, wish to set them
selves straight before the people in a
case of a general walkout call. Incl
dentally they are preparing their own
nests in the event OF trouble.
Topeka labor. in the case of the
shopmen strike. set an example that
certainly will be looked upon with
public admiration for years to come.
With the rest of the country walking
in circles due to misdirected judgment
and in many cases a disobayance of
orders. the local union men worked
faithfully and fearlessly and without
disturbance from whistle to whistle.
When the dust had settled it was
discovered that the Topeka shops were
right-had been from the start.
More such level headedness both in
strikes and lockouts is needed in this
country.
IT is hoped that the Topeka Indus
trial council will live up to expecta-
tions and maintain a broad view of
national steel strike conditions and
will act accordingly.
Meanwhile the public must stand by
and see millions going to waste SIM
ply over a principle that involves only
the wits of the leaders OF labor and
capital. II doesn't seem to be mat
ter that can be legally construed or
adjudged.
Adequate and responsive legislative
machinery is needed to deal with en-
ployes and employers.

''Texie": ID I think you are very
much too young to marry now.
Doubtless If you marry you will find
it as difficult to get along with the
young man as his first wife did. Wait
a year or two until he is making good
in business and until you are very
sure OF your love.
CD 1t may be that he has not
money to travel so far to see you.
Many young men have returned from
war and find themselves without
money. Doubtless he will bring YOU
a ring when he comes. Do not say
anything until then, but II he disap-
points you in that respect ask him IL
he is going to get you ring.

Be slow about telling your friends

how much he likes you.
