DYING POOR

The late Franklin D. Lane, who was secretary
of the interior in the Wilson cabinet left an estate

legacy of good service rendered.
But the best tribute that can be paid to pub

COMMON SENSE IN A SMALL TOWN

Dunbar Pa, is not large city. It's population
is only about seven thousand Nevertheless,
what Dunbar lacks in numbers it makes up in
spirit. 1t is the one place in America whose citi-
zens share the ups and downs Of life together for
the betterment of all.
Dunbar has, of course, been hit by the business
depression. The manganese industry, which fur
nishes employment to most of the population has
for some time been computing it's monthly BAL
ances in red ink 1t was decided, therefore, to
close down the furnaces and plants on July first.
But the community saw disaster in this move.
So the employees got together and talked things
over. They decided to go to the employers and
offer to stand forty FER cent wage reudction so
that the plants might continue to operate. 1--WE
believe it is better to work for less pay than not
to receive any at ALL read their petition.
That started things going Before sundown the
whole community, high and low, employer and
employee, had started on a new ledger page an
account Of happiness and prosperity.
The employers accepted the mems terms. In
turn they cut rents on the houses they let to
ployees forty per cent. The stores of Dunbar did
their share by agreeing to reduce prices on all
necessities They realized that their prosperity
was dependent on that of their customers. Thus
did the Dunbar employees petition become COM
munity affair.
That Dunbar has seen the age-old question in
it's true light is deserving of mention in this day,
when men in other communities fool themselves
into believing that the world can move forward
with labor and capital at enmity. = Minneapolis
