Missing MiIIions


 Everybody is getting poorer-in dollars But there are practically many dollars in existence ever. This puzzles reader. He asks, Where have all the dollars to? Who has them?'
 Money in circulation for every person in the country was s34 ss in 1913. It increased high point of s5s 4s last November. Now it is down to about s52.
 ..Yes." you say. but dollars seem to be disap- bearing faster than they taken from circulation Where do they go?"
 Easily answered Wash suit of woolen under wear It shrnks. and you wonder where the shrink age has gone The woolen garment hasn't really lost It merely has gotten tighter.
 So with dollars. Money has shrunk tighter. Dollars. as shown by bank clearings. are changing hands slowly
 When dollars move slowly we have depression. When dollars gallop, there's a boom Whether you get s52 month or s52 day depends on how fast money Is changing hands. That depends on spend ing.
 The chief thing that is wrong with us is lack of capital, Samuel M. vauclain, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
 Yet capital measured in terms of buying power instead of face value, Is just big now as during the 1918 boom.
 Less money is available for business But that's compensated by the fact that prices wages down that business do as much with, say 50 cents. it formerly could with s1.
 Available capital didn't actually increase during the war; While the boom on, business was conducted largely imaginary capital-inflated dollars. Now the dollar has out of booze and is sobering The delusion, the imaginary capital, is gone. But the loss is not actual-merey of bookkeeping.
 In 1914 bought share of stock for sso. It rose to s2s0 during the war. That man thought he.had made $200. So he had-f he cashed in, which few did Most couldn't resist waiting the profit to reach $500. The increase imaginary-what Wall Street calls paper millions"
 Now the stock is down to $50 again. And the owner walls that he has lost s200. He hasn't lost anything What he thinks he lost he never had It really existed
 railroads stocks and bonds fuctuate daily. yet the tracks, freight cars and remain changed. Stocks and bonds merely certificates of ownership in property. The property hasn't changed though increasing buying power of the dollar makes it look if the nations wealth is melting like snow hot stove.
 No. Rolo, were's not getting poorer We're merely learning talk about the commodities in terms of thousands instead of millions. His Son. -in-Law- -Elect-What do you consider the heaviest item of your household expenses?

 From morning until late at night. every attraction on the ground has it's crowd of interested visitors. The throngs seethe back and forth along the walks. Fifty thousand to 100000 people a day are scattered over Ex- hibition City. Generally the grounds absorb them without uncomfortable crowding. But Young Canada day this year was a record breaker, which showed that the 70 acres soon to be added to Exhibition City are needed
 Five hundred thousand free tickets were sent to children within 150 miles of Toronto, and as a result 230, 900 people, nine-tenths of them children, packed the grounds that day. To- ronto never saw crowd like it be- fore. It was a hot day and every available patch of shade was covered out to the very edges by families
 resting between advnfures. Lost chill dren were counted up to 1500. but an elaborate system of caring for them resulted in .all but four being re-
 claimed or taken home by night. l Early in the day the merry-go-
 round proved a too-popuiar attrac- tion. Even when the .distracted pro- prietor inprovised a rope guard with | two husky men to keep order, the

les STRONG STAND AGAINST
PRACTICES OF A. FL.
INCREASE PRODUCTION PLEDGED

Officers and members of Plumbers
and Steam Filters Union, No. SOS,
through The Buffalo Commercial, to-
day renounce the closed shop, and
openly and definitely take firm stand
against the uneconomic teachings and
practices of their national union and
of the American Federation of Labor.
In sweeping denunciation of pro-
duction restrictions and other abuses
the union comes out openly for the
open shop. The organization will re-
tain its identity as union, but in the
future will pay no tribute, privilege
or protection money to any union or
other interest.
The Buffalo Commercial herewith
reproduces an exact copy of reso-
luton adopted by the union at a re-
gular meeting, held on December 22d,
signed by the officers and approved
by the members in open meeting.
Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 22nd, 1920.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
Whereas, This organization, Local
Union No. 665, of the United Associa-
ton of Plumbers and Steam Filters
of United States and Canada, COM
prising a membership of $50 crafts
men, was duly organized and char
tered on August 2Sth, 1918, and
Whereas, Since that time our deal
ings with our local employers and our
activities as individual working men
have been confined to such limits as
our international body chose to die
tate, and
Whereas, Our International body
is affiliated with the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, an organization large
ly if not totally controlled by men APP
parently devoid of any respect for the
laws of America, or any understand
ing of economics, and
Whereas, In prescribing the limi-
tations which should govern our rela-
tions with our local employers, our
international body has been greatly
influenced by the unsound, unjust,
and therefore un-American doctrines
of the American Federation of Labor,
and
Whereas, We believe this central
lied power of dictatorship, unrespon-
sive to public opinion, is the root and
cause of much of the misunderstand-
ing and spirit of antagonism that has
been created and which exists be-
tween employer and employee, and
Whereas, There is just and pop
ular appeal for reduction in build
ing and maintenance costs, and
Whereas, We believe this reduc-
ton cannot be effected without a cor
responding reduction in wages unless
production is materially increased,
and
Whereas, Organized labor, as re-
presented by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, is prohibited from CIV
ing this increased production of
which its individual members are ca
pable and willing. and

Fifth-That we, Local Union No.
665, use every fair means possible to
maintain present wage scales and
hours of labor, Confidence in our abil-
ity to do this being based upon the
belief that the increased production

the reduction in costs our employers
can fairly ask for the time being.
Sixth-That copy of this resolu-
ton be mailed to each and every Buff
