PRICE CUTS ONLY
 DODGE TO BEFOG
 THE WAGE GARNER
Even Big Business Men Deplore Acts of Loaded
 Merchants.

Regardless Of temporary betterments III the price situation, such as the recent price cutting wave which swept the country, the high cost of living will not permanently cease to be until produc- tlon much more nearly overtakes con- sumption than it does now
 Speakers at a recent meeting of the Economic Club in New York City said that only a new orgy of spending and no permanent betterment to the price situation have resulted from the re- cent cut price sales throughout the country. Were price cuts the result of increase in production, these leaders say, such cuts would reflect changed conditions which would mean that prices had taken step toward per manent return to lower levels. Instead of this, 1t was urged, the recent price cuts were caused solely by the exigen-, cies in which merchants found them by the public and questions involved in the nancing of their business.
 J. I. Straus, of R. H. Macy & Com pany, was the speaker at the Economic Club dinner who analysed the results of the price cutting movement.
 "The horizontal cuts, if they continue,
 
 the industry concerned" he said. "If the reductions are 1egitimate1y made, they are not only causing sacrifice of reasonable profits, but are cutting into capital; if they are falsely made they are misleading the public into unwise extravaganza.
 "As manufacturers have all along complained of the inability to deliver requirements, the rehabilitation of mer- chandise stocks, depleted by forced sales will create an additional demand, and, therefore, will tend to cause rise in prices. In other words, the distri- butors are pulling the market against themselves"
 MT. Straus urged the decreasing of demand through voluntary se1f-denial and the restriction of exports by a licensing system.
 Francis H. Sisson, vice-president of the Guaranty Trust Company, said:
 "The advantages accruing to con- sumers in consequence of declining prices were easily exaggerated and> misunderstood As the reductions i'll prices at the present are due to over production" he said, ''it would seem ad- vlsable to avoid hasty conclusion that the present movement forecasts a uni versal and drastic drop in commodity prices"
 The need, therefore, for continued saving and safe investment remains paramount. The present market prices of Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes, as well as the continuation of the sale of Government savings securities offer the public the opportunity to invest their savings so as to obtain positive and assured returns

CAN'T STRIKE LAW.
Allen Hasn' t Created Anything
 Only Picked Up Discarded Junk.

Officers of the A. F. of L. are com piling some of the numberless cant strike" laws passed centuries ago.
 Defenders of the Kansas can't strike" law refer to 1t as new thing, and Governor Allen of that state is hailed as the modern Solomon, but i'll the light of history these claims are un- worthy of consideration.
 Nearly 600 years ago English labor laws were identical with the present Kansas act. The English law empow- cred the lords court" to set wage and punish strikers. The Kansas act gives this power to modern lords court" of three men appointed by the governor
 Under the English law the lord had the first claim to the labor of his serfs :; those who declined to work for him were sent to jail
 Lords of the manor (land owners) who paid more than the customary wage were fined treble damages and artifces (craftsmen) were subject to the same penalty. Any excess of wages above the customary rate could be ceized for the kings use The law not only regulated wages, but also food prices, and 1t was declared that flood must be sold at reasonable prices" Im- prisonment was the penalty against any laborer who quit his employment be- fore the agreed time, and aims to any able-bodied 1aborer were forbidden.
 Every student of history knows the result of this legislation under King Edward in 1347.

BIRTHDAY OF THE FLAG.
Editor of The Connecticut Labor

Editor of The Connecticut Labor
 Press:
 Kindly allow me space in your in teresting paper to saw few words in honor of the 143rd birthday of our glorious old flag, on Monday, June IA It is we'll known by the members of the legislatures of the past third of a century, in particular, that "O1d Glory" has been my favorite souvenir. It IS the best Keep Your Memory Green" on earth and 1 dearly love it. Space will not permit me to give an historical sketch of our dear hag-the stars and stripes of red, white and blue. The sentiment 1t has conveyed for these 143 years was appropriately expressed by Washington in these words: We take the star from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating 1t by white stripes, thus showing that we have sep arated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing Our loved flag was well named "Old Glory, in 1862 by Capt William Driver of Nashville, Tenn Glory ever bright and fair; glory oy stars and crimson bars; glory of new life in a new world. In all these 143 years our flag has never been trai1ed in defeat :; neither has 1t triumphed in tyranny. Americas flag is what. the inspired people made 1t. Youth should always respect it maturity should love it; old age should bless 1t. God give this best nation on earth the symbol of human hopes in the van of human progress, mankind reading on its starry folds:
 "A11 for each and each for all,
 Liberty, Justice and Fraternity"
 In closing allow me to respectfully urge that all patriotic people on Flag Day should proudly:
 Filing it from mast and steeple
 Symbol OCT land and sea
 Of the life of a happy people,
 Gallant and strong and free. Proudly we view its co1ors
 Flag of the brave and true, With the clustered stars and steadfast
 bars,
 The red, the white and the b1ue.'

39 CENTS A DAY.
No Wonder Postal Employees Are Cunning" for Present
 Congressmen.

Here's one thing that Bur1eson can't be blamed for. It's an increase of 3o cents a day. That's what Congress has decided shall be given to postoffice clerks and carriers. A boost of $150 a year.. or 3o cents a day in these times of high cost of living Is regarded by the men as an insult, and many are the unfavorable things they are saying about all concerned Tn the measily award.
 Why" one carrier said, "3o cents buys only half pound of butter, half dozen of eggs or two quarts of potatoes. Think of what magnificent addition this will make to our monthly earnings after the government has taken out two and one-half per cent. for the pension fund"
 Others refer to the award as penuri- ous and characteristic of the men who make up the present maj jority in Con- gress.
 They are sore clear through, and the runblings heard when the men congre- gated IS anything but complimentary to- ward those who, they claim, are re- sponsible for the measily award
 New Haven postal employees, while they did not anticipate a big increase. tIouSHl II WOu1Q al least be COmrnen- surate with prdsent-day living costs, and in this way enable them to break even. This, they declare, with the 3o- cent increase Is impossible, and i'll dis cussing the increase expressed them selves as believing that the insult meted out, to them might be followed. by numerous resignations from the ser vice.
 "As you know, we can't strike, as the law forbids us from resorting to this means one carrier said. "Bue be- lieve me-" he added, judging from the feeling that exists among the fellows ln the local office, if skch thing were possible there wouldn't, pe a single carrier or clerk who would hesitate to go on strike
 We regard the action as penurious and wholly out of tune with present conditions. As matter of fact we are the poorest paid workmen in the country.
 'Thirty-nine centsy" he said, "just think of itl"
 Despite their protests Congress ad- journed so it's majority members could attend the Republican convention in Chicago

HERE'S A REAL JUDGE.
More Like Him Would Make This
 Country Fit to Live In.

It IS customary to associate dignity and decorum with the conduct of judges and magistrates, especially when they are occupying the bench in their official capacity. So entrenched is this idea in the mind of the layrnan that not infrequently he maintains a proper respect for the judge as court even While he holds him in utter contempt as man. Even swe11-headed and clustering magistrates are tolerated be- cause of the tradition of sober dignity which IS associated with their high office
 But New York City has a new and unusual kind of judge in the person of Justice William Morris of the Sec ond District municipal court, who, when teh occasion demanded, did not hesitate to cast aside the shield of judicial dignity and speak his mind as a righteously indignant man.
 A number of landlords, who had threatened to ev1ct tenants for failure to pay increased rents, recently ap- peared before him. Justice Morris brought his clenched fist down upon his desk with resounding thump and an- nounced that If there were any grasp ing, goug1ng landlords" present he was
 
 wanted him to sign eviction warrants they were going to be disappointed. This was plain enough hint for the landlords to retire with as good grace as possible; but one of them tried to argue his case and threatened to appeal to the supreme court
 Then Justice Morris got into action as man. Shedding his judicial robe. he rolled up his sleeves. Pointing his finger at the landlord p1eader, he shout ed: Go to the supreme court if you want to! Go to the United States supreme court. Go to hell! I think more of the little finger of one of the children of one of these tenants than of all the grasping landlords combinedi"
 It is probably needless to say that before the court room had ceased to echo to the angry voice of the judge the landlords had taken this second hint and gone away from there.
 Of course, Justice Morris outburst badly shattered the dignity of the court" but we can not help imagining

PERENNIALLY POPULAR.
Century Theatres Revival of "Florodora'' the Seasons
 Sensation.

The revival of the famous musical comedy, "F1orodora," at the capacious Century Theatre in New York City, with it's beautiful music, its sparkling comedy scenes, its dazzling sextette, and its all-star cast including Eleanor Pain ter, George Hasse11, Christie MacDon- aid, John T. Murray, Walter Woolf, Margot Kelly and Harry Fender, is the reigning musical and theatrical sen sation of the year. The Messrs. Shu- bert's elaborate presentation of the piece has shown that there is a consid- erab1e body of "F1orodora fans" not only in New York City but over the country as we'll One of the surprises of the present run has been the large number of theatre parties from cities and Pittsburgh Members of such par ties evidently arranged to make their annual visits to New York in groups in order to see 'Florodora." The Messrs. Shubert were quick to provide special service for such parties and their com fort IS seen to by special bureau Tn the Century Theatre which also cares for the visits of delegations from vari- ous societies and social organizations
 The critics have been unit in declar- ing that the revival "F1orodora" far surpasses the original production in every respect. Eleanor Painter, who is the Dolores, has made a pronounced I1it. George Hasse11, who is one of the most popular comedians in the country, is hailed by the critics as far funnier than Willie Edouin, the creator of the role of Tweed1epunch 20 years ago. Christie Macdonald, the Lady Holly rood, is one of the best known prirna dOnDac on tle fioht oDera efaoe
 To add the crowning rouch of nov city the Messrs. Shubert have provided three sextettes, the modern sextette, .sextette gowned as was the sextette of 1900, and the sextette of 1o20-the lat ter a oro1,D of children
