Minimum, York

That state of mind was aptly described
by Minister Noske recently, in speech be-
fore the National Assembly at Weimar. He
said that many persons appear to think that
socialization means to make an establishment
serviceable to themselves, and that they can
operate it at an enormous cost to the public.
He was talking about some of the big gov
ernment shops At the government tailoring
and shoe shops, for example, he said that
work had dropped off to such an extent that
the small quantities of uniforms and shoes
needed by the present small volunteer forces
could no longer be made at these government
shops, but some work had to be given to
private firms. In the great arms factories
OF Spandau, where the workmen put in their
own managers at the time of the revolution,
the wage list amounted in January to A.
100000 marks; y~s the. work done, said
Noske, was Eat &n absolute minimum. !"
Strikes were forced there by terrorist
methods, and even workmen making artificial
limbs for war cripples were compelled to
join in the strikes.
But the most "crying" case of German
post-bellum mentality reported by Noske
was this: In December a "Soviet" of de-
serters was organized at Berlin. 1t sent

ton, with an additional sum to pav their

stand that "the deserters are power" and
granted him four days to think over the
matter.

That Tardy Millennium

But all this did not bring the millennium
fast enough. Eight hours were soon re-
garded as too long workday; and wages
were also discovered to be still too low
in hard times like these, when prices for
good things to eat have scared into the
skies. Then plans were laid among the
coal miners in the West for improving
things.
Some three weeks ago q conference of
the labor organizations Of the miners was
held, which adopted q programme for
shortening still further the hours of work
1t declared for a reduction to seven and
one-half hours at the first Of April, to
seven hours next January. and finally to
six hours on January 1, 1921. But having
thus got vision of good times to come,
the miners lost all control of themselves.
"Why not have the good times at once?" it
was asked. So in one section of the coal
region strike was begun for six hours
Immediately. Then it spread to other sec
tions, and now most Of the miners are out
for the six-hour day, and on top of that
further increases of wages by 25 to so
per cent.
And all this at time when thousands of
people are actually starving and when food
has actually begun to arrive to save them.
Is it merely case of nerves? Or is it
partly political and economic fanaticism?
Doubtless BOTH But the case, however
it may be explained, certainly shows q re-
markable state of mind.

maintaining the public library, when
was unanimously defeated when it
came up for final passage at the
city council Monday night.
A number of technical points in
regard to the bequest caused the
council not to pass the ordinance.
According to City Solicitor Harris,
the bequest was made in such com
plicated manner that, in order to
avoid future trouble, the money was
not accepted.
After short debate council agreed
to act favorably on petition made
by nine Rideley street residents, who
desired the name Of Ridglcy street
changed to South Park street.
According TO Mayor BARS report

submitted to council s255 has been
collected for city licenses during

city license have not yet renewed
their licenses. The inand-out fees
collected during May amount to
$3.50, while $2l in fines was collect

charged with intoxication, one was
charged with larceny, two with as

north side of West Ohio avenue from
Mulberry street to Mechanic street
was laid on the table.
While the resolution will no doubt
be acted upon iavorably at n later

them will probably be combined.
