THE PEOPLES FORUM

would like TO state that think that
the only remedy for unemployment which
exists at the present time Is q national
law enforcing forty-eight-hour week or
less. ...
In these modern times all work produced
Is produced at a great saving in labor due
matte machinery.
Why were many papers and also the
Government against the steel workers In
their recent strike for shorter hours7 II
steel workers would now work eight hours
day instead of twelve. Just think OF the
countless thousands that could be employed
TO keep UP production and so on through.

1t sours ones thoughts when. hanging on
strap In a dngy yellow car, crawling
up Seventh street. with barely room to
stand, to look back-six years--gase at
the diagrams, photographs and tho "time
tables Of the hish-speed trains" I mean
the time consumed by these ina ginary trains
from City Hall to olney avenue, twenty
two minutes, and as good time to Frank
ford. Suddenly you are almost thrown off
your bearinss your thoughts return to the
present moment Tin 1921 and you calculate
you have ridden twenty-five minutes from
Market street and you are near Susaue-
hanna avenue or York street, and the straps
groan under the strain of impatient crowds
who whirl YOU to and fro and all around
your six and one-duarter cent strap.
This is your lucky night and an equal
priced article-a six and one-quarter cent
seat--is secured at Allegheny avenue. and
sitting DOWN. before you. On Erie avenue
a 40 car is Just about boarded. and again
fellow sardines' encompass you, and II
you live above City Line you are privileged

This service has been meted out TO
about 2.0o0.0 900 people. Few kicks are
