RECOGNIZING FAITHFUL SERVICE

As we remarked before, it is a pity that men who are really de-
serving of an increase in salary at the hands of the state legislature
should have their chances of getting what they are entitled to ruined
by the food of all kinds of salary raising bills covering appointments
that are not even ornamental to the state.
For instance, there is Assembly Bill No. 81, introduced by Assem-
blyman Gill, which provides for a decent compensation for the in
fpectors employed by the Department of Labor. Here are a lot OF
men and women, twenty-five in number, under civil service and con
sequently without political influence. They r working long hours
each day seeing that factory laws are lived up to. They carry great
responsibility, yet are receiving the same pay they got two years ago
N spite of the general increase in everything all about them.
The health and safety of employees in the various industries of this
great industrial state are in their keeping to a large extent. A few
months ago when a button factory in Newark was burned causing the
loss of the lives of eleven girl employees one of the first men hauled up
ON the carpet at the coroners inquest was the factory inspector. 1t
was his duty to see that the factory laws were complied with in that
factory. If it could have been shown that he had neglected to enforce
the law he stood a good chance of going to Jail for his failure to do his
part.
The bill giving a slight increase to these state empoyes-employes
who really do earn their money-has passed the House and is now in
the senate. While there is good reason for killing a great majority
of the salary grab bills in the legislature, it is to be hoped that the
senator's and the governor, too, should the bill reach him, will show the
necessary discrimination to give these workers the recognition that is
their due.

IN AT THE FINISH

1t Isl great demonstration that is taking place in New YORK TO-
day. The American people arc enthusiastically greeting one oil M
divisions that fought 50 vaiantly in France and Belgium
There is nothing mean or measley about the greeting for the boys
Enthusiasm is at the highest pitch and interest in the event is SO grea'
that many industries even as far away as Perth Amboy have closed Tor
the day in order that their employees may participate IN the notaoi
event.
But why are we so enthusiastic about the home coming u the'c
boysg 1t is not because they are home again that we greet them to-
5av. it is mainly because they made good; they never faltered until
they had finished the Job. They saw it through to a glorious victory.
But we who are greeting these returning heroes today have al
WAYS found a great deal of satisfaction in the fact that while 1t was
not for us % go to France, we had a duty to perform, hardly secondary
in importance, in standing behind these mel while they were O the
firing line and furnishing the 'where-with-all" to keep them gong

Of the war. We went on short rations in sugar and meats; we ate war
bread of corn and barley and we otherwise saved and sacrihced Tor
tie sake of the boys who were in the trenches. That was our big part
in the war and the boys are proud Of us for what we did, too.
But, how bout it, folks' Are we going to see our part through
rs the boys of the 9th did, or not? Are we going to falter before we
have finished our job?
It ISM given to everyone to get through this great task at the
same time. There are still a million r more boys on the other side,
You know, many of them arc i'll the army of occupation and they do

Well, we re in the same boat with the boys who are still III duty

The great Victory Liberty Loan is about to be launched. Thi'
folks, is our job: We promised to stand behind the boys to the limit.
We have got to see it through just as they saw it through. The cheer
ing along Fifth avenue. today will have a hollow sound, indeed, If we
do not show u enthusiasm in holding up our end of the war as well
as cheering those who have 20 nobly held up their end.
Lets get ready, then, to put this loan over in the same thorough
manner that we have done all the rest of them and show those boys
who have had such unbounded faith in u $ while abroad that their con-
