mujiks. The working men in America
are not fools. We are not to be con-
demned as a whole because OF q few
fool agltators on the lower East Side
and down below Washington Square
1t is not America that the working
men are fighting 1t Is the abuse OF
Americanism. And the sooner we all
come to realize that employers are quite
as prone to abuse that Americanism as
their employees are. the sooner we shall
get back to that normal tranquility that
every decent citizen desires"
Just at this moment there are about
two hundred bank clerks on strike. They
have left the small East Side and Har-
lem banks, and although not yet or
ganized are effecting an organization and
their numbers are growing. Drug clerks.
grocery clerks. shoe clerks and score
more are talking of unlonization. Some
small shops Off the main thoroughfaree
are already affected by the strikes OF
their clerks.
And all this in New York city.

Protection NoU,

"Think fire prevention, talk fire
prevention and practice fire proven,

marshal, in fire prevention day bull
letin which he is sending out over the
state.
ssNever relax your caution against
the ever present danger of fire on your
own premises, the circular urges. SIN
that way you will. not only make it a
habit with yourself but will influence
others.
} Make it q point ON fire prevention
day to critically examine your home,
store, office, shop or factory. Try to
discover anything or any condition that
might possibly cause a fire, and above
all clean up. If you find any inflam
mable material remove it if possible or
make it safe.

ORDERS
CLASSIFIED CHARGE
FOR PHONE SERVICE

Classification of telephone users and
a charge for service according to classi-
fieation IS ordered by the public serv-
ice commission in two edicts issued
Thursday affecting the Amity Mutua'
Telephone company and the Cloverdale
Telephone company. Both. orders grant
authority for a new schedule of rates
involving material increases over the
old schedule.
In the case of the Amity company a
flat rate of rs cents per month has been
made heretofore to all subscribers re-
gardless of classification. This sched
ule, according to the showing made by
the company resulted in deficit OF
$S32.60 during the year which was me-
by assessment affecting approximately
300 stakeholder subscribers but not the
non stockholders er-suhscribers who were
receiving service at the same rate. The
NEW schedule provides for a rate OF
$2.35 for one-party line business tele
phones, and $1.S5 per month for one
party line residence telephones. Multi
party lines are given a proportionately
lower rate. Subscribers owning theil
own instruments are granted & rental
, charge of SO per year in lieu of a re-
bate which is not permitted by the STATE
/ law.
Conditions similar to those at Amity
are shown to have existed in the cast
, of the Cloverdale Telephone company
where a flat rate of 81 per month ha!
been charged heretofore regardless Of
ssification. This system, the com
pany shows, has resulted in deficit
of $914.13 for the wear. The new sched
Iule provides for a rate of $3.50 pei
month for individual line business tele
phones and So per month for individual
Eno residence~service with proportionatt
reductions for multi-party line service.
