they had to reorganize as veteran as
sociations and become members OF
the league. Only two, the Andres
eoggin of Topsham and Tiger OF
Halloweli did so. How many would
have done so if they could have
joined the league as active companies
as proposed and killed principally
by the league deadwood, viii never
be known.
Two Maine veteran associations
were admitted as league members
at its May meeting, the Niagara Of
Brunswick, (reinstated) ana the new
Rockport association. Only seven
Maine organizations can participate
in the centennial muster. which, con-
siderins the state Importance Of the
event it helps TO celebrate, should be
the largest muster of state organi-
cations in Maine in recent years.
Local interest OF Dirigo firemen II
would seem ought TO have provided
more than seven contesting organi-
cations, only two of them active hand
engine companies, for that great
state and national affair.
The success of the July Portland
muster depends largely on organi-
cations from outside Of the state of.
Maine.

An Untenable Proposition

tFrom the weekly circular of William
H. Barr. president OF the National
Founders Association
The former secretary of the Ma
tional War Labor Board, w. Jet
Lauck, appearing recently before the
Railroad Labor Board. made the fol-
lowing statement:
Ii Is impossible for a family of FIVE
in the United States TO maintain Itself
in even decent poverty under existing
conditions for penny less than
$1,000 year. In making this state
ment / am well within the findings OF
the United States Government itself.
for. on the basis of the budget COM
piled by Professor Royal 5. Meeker.
commissioner of labor statistics,
dated August. 1919. family today
needs $3.50 upon which TO live Com
missioner Meeker's figures for Au-
gust 1919. totaled s226a. Brought
forward with scrupulous exactness
these figures must be translated into
s2523 for May. 1920. Commissioner
Meeker described his budget as a
minimum comfort" one. allowing for
a trihe above bare subsistence. He
himself has described it as mot
ideal" and under present conditions
this terminolgy is highly conserva-
tive.
The Washington Post on the fol-
lowing day made the following tom
nent on that statement:
There are 100000 wage workers
in the United States. all facing the
same serious problem of living costs
Ii minimum wage of $500 be fixed
for unskiiled railroad workers, why
should it not be applied to the entire
$4,000. 600? II this IS the land of
equality Of which we boast, the p
100000 railroad workers represented
in the hrotherhoods have no rights
superior TO the 100000 workers
outside the brotherhoods-
Should the $500 minimum wage be
applied to all workers il would raise
THE payrolls in this country TO s1I2-
500, 100000 annually. And Il the diff
ferential in favor of skilled workers
should amount 10 20 per cent addi-
tional-which is not an extravagant
estimate-the payrolls would be in
creased 10 s155.o0o 600 900 annually,
or more than half the national
wealth
II IS not necessary to make any
comment on the Lauck statement. ex-
cept 10 note that Mr.. Lauck poses as
an economist. and his views are given
wide publicity throughout the United
States. These kinds Of statements
simply promote unrest and they do
not help the employers of Mr.. Lauck
in the least because any sane member
Of the Railroad Labor Board knows
perfectly we'll that his proposition is
absolutely untenable. but Lauck is not
the only one who is putting forth this
kind of propaganda at a time when
the country is trying its best to get
down 20 a sane basis

A Sure Way to

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at

you destroy it entirely. To do this,

four more applications will complete

how much dandruff you may have.
