HOME BURNED Ar LINARY
LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Wed Houstoa Loses Home and Com
tents, Including Clothing of
Family; Neighbors Will
Rebuild.

Friday afternoon about two o'clock
the home of Wed Houston, Linary,
seven miles from CrosSville, was
found to be on fire and before any
thing could be done the fire had gain
ed so much headway that only few
bed clothing were saved. Practically
all the clothing of the family was
lost.
The fire seems to have caught from
the cook stove or the pipe chimney.
Mr.. Houston was away from home
working in the timber when the fire
occurred and knew nothing of it un-
til he came home at night.
He is a man of family, having a
wife and four children, the youngest
being a babe of only few days.
They lost considerable canned fruit
along with the furniture and other
household effects.
Neighbors are arranging to rebuild
his house for him. The Houston
home was a two-story, tour-room
residence. 1t had been built several
wears and being a frame structure 1t
burned very rapidly. A petition was
circulated here in town Monday and
several dollars were donated.

Massachusetts COmmis- sion on Minimum Pay Cuts Rate to SIP in Candy Industry.

The Massachusetts Minimum Wage Commission has established R weekly rate of $12 for women employed III the candy industry, and at the same time announces that its investigations disclose that the bare subsistence level for these workers is $1350 a week, Its award, therefore, improves upon workers the necessity for existing on a wage that does not permit of their existence.
 In answer to the question, How can a minimum wage of SIP be enough for a self-respecting women or girl whose cost of living you find to be $l3.5O?' the commission declares in effect that this is problem for the Warkers them selves to solve.
 The financial condition of the candy industry, the commission continued, IS in such shape that if compelled to pay higher wages 1t will not survive. "Ihe commission came as near to the l1V1ng cost as 1t could and have the business continue at the present tine.' its report declares.
 The Massachusetts law requires the wage commission to provide wages III any amount that will maintain employees in health" but it is also required that t!e financial condition of the Occupa- tion in question and the effect of wages aid" The commission, in its findings, gave it's first consideration to the employ CTS and thereby put up to the workers responsibilitv for living on an income that it admits is $1.50 less than is re- ouired to maiHtaln lite.
 Commenting on this award, dissent incr member of the commission reflected that 'perhaps the State intended to ex- tend Urbain LedOux's auction service by including women as well as men in his occasional offerings"

The interest payment on Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds due October 15 amounted to ever $125,OO0,OO According to flg- urcs compiled as of May 31. 1921, there were outstanding on this loan $6,356,- 594,5G. Of this stupendous amount it Is safe tU 'stimate that about $SOO.0JU = GOO are held 'y investors in the First Federal Reserve District and the interest payment to the people of New England a11n1rts tr al out $17,OOO,OOO

STRIKEBREAKER NABBED.
Richmond, Cal, Oct. 2I.-J. C. En

Richmond, Cal, Oct. 2I.-J. C. Elm erson, watchman for an oil company whose employees are on strike, has been arrested on the charge of at tempting to set fire to the plant. Emerson was arrested in 1914 with a suit case filled with dynamite. At that time he was charged with at tempting to discredit trade unionism, but the case was mysteriously drop .~.d.
 Organized workers are asking how the company employed a man with such d record for the responsible position of watchman
The Connecticut labor news., 1921-10-21

A letter from Washington brings information that the Senate oblI- garchy plan to put through bill to create an industrial Supreme Court 10 which all interstate industrial dis Dutes must be submitted, tOrb1dd1ng strikes until examinations and trials are held District courts with similar powers may be established in states.
 This plan would prevent strikes and lockouts, but Is not believed workable as no law can force person to work ii he or she desires to quit.
 The main object of this Industrial Court is to give more publicity to causes of disputes, 'pitiless pubic ity," as it is called.
 Labor unions will not protest al ad- ditional publicity. Turn on the light has been organized labor's slogan; give the people the TRUTH, and let public opinion decide the case on its merits, not on the propaganda spread by Big Business. But organized labor will not accept a plan to give the public half-truths, or tainted truths, or any other truths" but the REAL TRUTH.
 Many cities got a wholesome dose of this system in the building trades strike when columns of paid adver- tisements were inserted by both sides, clamoring for public sympathy for this and that reason. Nothing was gained. Better results were seen when the strikers carried the fight right to the homes of those who were announced to be unfriendly That started the fermentation.
 Organized labor will not object tc an Industrial Court providing it does not prevent strikes and lockouts. Nn Industrial Court may prevent dIS- pute by getting ALL the facts early and announce in the press ALL the facts, not it's opinion. If it IS the purpose of Senators to create an elab- crate Kansas Industrial Court em- towering it with all the autocratlC privileges that tribunal enjoys, then its functions will be contrary to pop ular will and judgment.
