Sliding for Second

Bill Griffith was rabid base
ball fan and a mining promoter
known from Cerro de Pasco, Peru,
to Nome, Alaska. He is as well
known about the Hobbies of the Wal
dorf or the Vanderbilt in New York
as in the St. Francis or Palace Of
San Francisco or the Guardiola of
Mexico City, and his advice re-
garding men and mines is always
given deep consideration by those
who know him.
Bill endeavors, according to Ne
vada custom, to confine his knock"
to baseball umpires. If a man
or a mine fails to measure up to
his expectations, he usually keeps
silent. One of his friends was en-
deavoring the other day to elicit
some information as to the finan-
cial ability and reliability of west
ern financier.
Hes a bright young feller," was
about the most definite thing Bill
would say.
But is he safe?" persisted the
questioner.
Sometimes" answered Bill grim
ly. "You see hes one of those
financiers who is sliding for second
ALL the time" Griffith knew and
so did his hearer that it is impossi-
BILE to beat the throw every time
For every time, he is called safe
he dusts himself off and walks
slowly to the bench talking to him.
self because the umpire has waved
him out.
There are thousands of business
men and wage earners in this coun-
try who have to slide for second
all the time. They have to shit
the dirt because they never have
any financial reserve. Consequently
they never know when they are
safe, The only safety on the fl
nancial base lines, is to have re-
serve which will afford protection
against illness, misfortune, lack of
employment or other contingencies
The easiest way to build up and
keep such a reserve is to invest
regularly in sound profitable Gov
eminent Savings Securities. Ty
Cobb in his prime could not slide
safe to second every time. Neither
can you. But you can be safe
every time if you save and invest
safely.

LABOR'S CONFERENCE
WILL PROVE HISTORIC
(By Frank Morrisoh)

The conference Of trade union
representatives in Washington, Feb
ruary %, was a path-breaker, and
will prove historic.
One feature Of this gathering was
labor's solidarity. There We're no
sO-called conservative" or so-called
radicals" There We're no groups
or dissension. The only differences
We're whether trade union declara-
tions could be made stronger. The
debates We're high class and marked
by confident and determined
spirit.
There We're no fantastic speeches
and no impossible programs sug-
gested to resist industrial autocrats
who would smash the trade union
movement.
1T is a condition, not a theory,
that confronted these trade union
lists, and they acted accordingly.
No part Of the proceedings can
offer the slightest encouragement
to opponents. who must now realize
that their anti-union campaign
since the armistice has not affected
the morale Of organized labor
The declarations for human lib
erty, so often made by the trade
union movement, were again reaf-
firmed, and methods devised to vital
ize and energize them as never be-
fore.
These trade unionists are alert to
the forces against them. The pow
CT Of these forces was not minimizeC
but this did not have the slightest
effect on men and WOMEN who are
striving to get the story Of trade
unionism into the heart and minC
Of wage earners.
This confident spirit was shown
in the call for workers everywhere
to join the union Of their trade on
calling, to intensity their fight for
American guarantees, and to ignore
labor injunctions. A more extern
sive information and educational
program was outlined.
The conference was a success. It
was practical and inspirational 1t
again proves-if proof We're neces-
sary-that labor is soldified and en-
thusiastic in its contest against I'M
dustrial and judicial autocrats.

ON WAGE REDUCTION

Labor must produce the wealth
Of the world or there will be no
production.
Labor, when a country is at war,
must support the fighters by bend
ing its back in toll.
Labor must do nearly all the
fighting when its country is at war.
Labor, when the fighting is over,
must bend its back in toll to pay
the cost Of war.
But when peace comes to a
war-stricken land, labor must ac-
cept less pay for its toll in order
that the teaches, eXploiters, profit
tcers and gamblers-all traitors -
may retain their ill-gotten graft
gains. The wealth which was ere
ated by the toll Of men is used to
repress labor, to reduce it to a
condition of living which cannot
make outstanding, self-respecting
good citizens.
The attempt to fasten upon our
country such conditions is now be-
ing made by organized wealth.
All the horde of profiteers, is
now busy with what it calls re
adjustment" reconstruction a 're-
turn to normally and such like
stuff Labor is asked to join in
this work. asked to reduce its wages
in order that it may be in the
band wagon when the down grade
of REIMBURSEMENT is reached. Poor,
prosecuted, simple labor.
Do the captains Of industry think
that all labor is credulous enough
to believe in the sincerity Of their
masters 20
We hope not.
Did anybody hear of a CONNER
cial body or an association of in
dustrial lords asking a reduction Of
the prices Of their products Ga
boris products), or the reduction
of rents, in order that Labor may
be justified in accepting lower
wages? Mo-
Yet in this town the mill owners
had the gall to ask the retail mer-
chants who deal in the necessities
of life to reduce their prices in or
der that the workers may be able
to accept less pay to save the
lumber industry
All retail merchants ought to
know that when a wage-earner's
pay is less than necessary to pur-
chase the bare needs of himself
and family that their trade will be
light or dull. If the workers can
not earn the money they cannot
spend it.
What the dollar will buy today
could have been bought for fifty
cents in 1918, and yet the predatory
wealth of the country is trying to
reduce wages to pre-war rates.
They We're too low then on an
average for a decent American
standard of living.
Mr. Reader, do you not think that
- those people who are bending their
efforts to secure reduction in wages
would be in better business if they
We're trying to secure reductions in
building materials, rents, transport
tation, etc.
Give one-tenth the time you de-
vote in thinking how wages may be
reduced to evolving a plan whereby
your aims may be realized by
some other means

and home sites must be cheapened.
Houses, household goods and house
hold supplies cannot be cheapened
by levying taxes upon them They
can be cheapened by exempting
them from taxation, and the eX-
emption should begin with the pro-
duction of raw material for their
manufacture and extend to ma
chinery and other capital essential
to production. To cheaper home
sites and to discourage tenantry,
speculation must be discouraged, as
the Grange suggests. To accom-
plish this, land value tax is nee
essary. 1t is fair to presume
that the Grange delegates who pass
ed the resolutions were aware Of
this, but preferred that it be made
known in the course of discussion.

McADOO SAYS

VIM. G. McAdoo says "the rail
roads are going from bad to worse.
They are moving rapidly toward
government ownership.
Higher freight and passenger
rates have not helped the railway
situation.
Higher rates mean less business
handled. Rates should be main
tanned that will act as a stimulant
to industry; not as a check.
The roads are wading into the
treasury for all they can get and
won't be stopped until the Ameri-
can people begin to think clearly
on this problem again and force
measures to stop such raids on the
taxpayers money"

Try to Abolish the
Centralia Normal,
Seattle Nautical

Olympia, March 5.-Rising to a
question Of personal privilege, Sen
ator W. Lon Johnson, Spokane, de-
manded to know why the senate
rules committee had not reported
out Senate Bill 1911, abolishing the
Centralia Normal School johnson
said this had been agreed upon
when it was decided to abolish the
nautical school at Seattle and would
save the state more than 100000
during the biennium.
The iAsincerity Of that legislative
bunch which tried so hard to add
the school system to the political
machine is shown in the above
telegram They would put the
schools under political control, but
they would deduct from present ed
ucatinal facilities under the guise
Of economy. Now let Senator SUIT
ton put his little bin up to the
people through the referendum and
see how far he gets with his job.

British Air Marshall in Charge of Inquiry Start
 ing Today.

Howden, Aug. 27. (By Associated Press. s.)-Formal investigation of the disaster which destroyed the dirigible ZR-2 on Wednesday afternoon and caused the deaths of more than 40 of her personnel began here today. Sir Hugh Montague Trenchard, British air marshal, was in charge of the in quiry, and a number of British and American officers were present to give testimony. Plans for the investigation did not contemplate public sessions of the court, and it was believed probable that nothing would be given publica- = tion until after the findings of the court had been communicated to the British government.
 The work of lifting the wreck of the ZR-2 from the Humber river at Hull continued today. Two more bodies. those of Albert L. Loftin m American who was acting as mechanic on board the dirigible, and Flight Sergeant A. F. Martin, a British mem Der of the crew were recovered yes

Hull. Eng, Aug. ? (By Associated Press)-Further search among the wreckage of the wrecked dirigible ZR-2 had failed to reveal more bodies up to the middle of the forenoon today The Wreckers who have been engaged in the task are continuing their operations, however, in an effort to raise more of the debris in which it is hoped that some additional bodies of the more than two score men who lost their lives i'll Wednesday evenings disaster will be found. Great crowds again gathered on the docks today.
 The bodies of three Americans al ready recovered are being prepared for transfer to the United States, but it is possible they may be retained here fo1 a time so that if the bodies of other Americans are recovered, as is hoped, they may be all sent home together.
 The American dead will not be taken to Howden, the British air base, it was announced today and the big military service there planned for Wednesday will take the form of memorial cere- mony. It will be elaborately carried out, with bands and military detach- ments from all branches of the British northern command present.

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT COUNCIL TO
 BE ORGANIZED IN NEW BRITAIN
Chamber of Commerce to Foster Generalization Idea For All Juvenile Clubs in City.

New Britain is to have a junior achievement council. The rapid growth and universal approval of this work, which had it's inception in this city through the Daily Vacation Bible school, conducted during the summer by Rev. Frederick H. Will kins, in addition to the approaching interstate meet at Springfield, Sept. IS. has resulted in requests made to the Chamber of Commerce to organ ize a central organization in the city. A meeting for this purpose will be held next Monday.
 Chamber of Commerce Interested.
 In conference with Secretary Maxim Of the Chamber of Commerce this morning, several persons actively in terested in this work decided that there were so many clubs formed and forming that the only way to control the movement is to have a central body with president, vice president, secretary and treasurer and executive committee to take hold and handle all questions and problems af- fecting the clubs.
