Our Weather Eve
Where We Come In

One of the disappointments of
the past few years in the Industrial
world has been the failure of labor
to prove its oft repeated claim that
its efficiency would be increased if
its hours were reduced.
For many years the laborer's day
has been gradually becoming short
+er as a result Of the pressure, or ev-
en- violence, Of the unions, who have
always coupled their demands with
the promise that shorter days would
actually result in the performance
of more work.
The promised increase in eff
cheney has failed to materialize. In
fact, the efficiency of labor has ac-
tually decreased in some cases in
stead; for men who are working
eight hours per day are doing LESS
than two thirds as much work as
they did when working twelve
hours per day. This is true of the
250,O00 employees of the United
States Steel Corporation, for exam
pie. Within the past few years,
their day has been Shortened to
eight hours while their pay has at
the same time been voluntarily
doubled; yet their efficiency has
gradually become less.
1t is easy to see why they have
asked for neither shorter hours nor
more pay in the present strike since
neither demand could be justified.
If there is any real issue involved
in this struggle, it is whether the
corporation shall continue to keep
its mills open to all laborers, pay
ing each according to his merits, as
it wishes to do, or close them to all
but union laborers, paying all ac-
cording to a fixed scale, regardless
OF how good or poor they may be.
Judge Gary seems right when he
says the issue concerns the whole
American people. If the unions
succeed in enforcing their demands,
it means that we shall soon find
ourselves paying tribute to the
steel workers just as we are now to
the railroad brotherhoods.

{, /. 5. MUSEUM

The Junior History Glass of the
Extra High School has organized,
with Pauline Hensley as Secretary
and Frank Gault as Treasurer.
They are trying to collect material
for a Museum, which, with your
kind cooperation, they believe will
prove successful. All Indian relics,
souvenirs of wars, or other articles
of interest will be greatly apprecia-
ted, either lent or donated, and will
be carefully preserved. Atpresent,
the class has been promised Indian
arrowheads and tomahawks, differ
ent kinds of ore, shells of this Great
War and a sword from the Civil
War, as well as several other curios
that are of interest. Those wishing
to4sell any relics in their possession
at reasonable rates may bring their
offers to the attention of some
member Of the class and the prices
will be considered. Persons having
articles tolend or donate will please
speak to Frank Gault about them,-
or call the school building. The
Juniors are hoping that a Museum
will create a greater interest in the,
school work for all pupils of the
Extra High School now and in fu-
ture years. They realize that with
out your aid and that Of the other
students it would be very difficult
to make a collection that would be
really worth while, so a motion was
made to ask for your assistance.

got cold feet as he said. On Febru-
ary 28th he left the farm without

flee was notified and for weeks a

made arrangements to square every
thing up. Saturday he will sell his
machinery at Anita and will then
come to Audubon to settle costs.
He says he is better off than he

the costs he will have a team Of
horses and some money besides

ha. The neighbors have taken care
of his horses while he was away, but
the farm was rented to another
party so the land has not been idle
this year.

NEW BUS LINE

A new auto bus line has been
established from Audubon to Man
ming and from Audubon to Allan
tic. Two trips to each place will be
made each day, starting from the
Virginian Cafe at eight o'clock in
the morning and at one o'clock in
the afternoon. The charges for
passengers from Audubon to Allan
tic are three dollars each, and from
Audubon to Manning two dollars
each. The charges for intermediate
points are in the proportion of
those for the terminal points.
We hope this line will be liberal
ly patronized as it is much-needed
service. 1t will be a great conven-
ience to Extra as it will enable
the travelling public to catch trains
on the main line without private
conveyance, and to return home
in seasonable hours when visiting
neighboring towns. 1t has been a
much needed service and should
have liberal support.
