Wasted Efforts.

w possible higher standards of living we are
in sympathy. We devoted uncompromisngly
to the belief that man is better off with $Ioo in
his weekly pay envelope than $Io. that the COM
munity in which he lives is better off and that the
entire nation is better off
With every effort of union labor to introduce
inefficient methods into industry we are out of
sympathy. man who can make 100000 tacks
a week is justified in demanding $Ioo than
the man who make only hooo tacks. If con-
ditions in the tack industry warranted no
reason why the tackmakers union should not
demand $Ioo week for each worker. But do
see very obvious reason why they should not
demand SIoo per for maximum of 1000 tacks
when the worker could make 100000.
In line with these observations information
given out by F. H. Alfred president Of the Pere
Marquette Railroad, is iluminatve The following
of rules for replacing a broken stay bolt in a
locomotive were formulated by the railroad shop
mems union during the and have been in force
since:
The cab carpenter and his helper remove
the running board
The sheet metal worker and his helper take
off the jacket.
3. The pipe filters remove the pipe.
4. The machinist and his helper remove the
| running board bracket.
5 The ox-welder and his helper burn out the
stay bolt
6. The boilermaker and his helper take out
the stay bolt.
7. The boi'ermaker and his helper put in the
stay bolt
8. The running board bracket is replaced by
the machinist and his helper.
9. The running board is fastened on by the
cab carpenter and his helper.
10. The jacket is fastened by the sheet
metal worker and his helper.
II. The pipe work is replaced by the pipe filter
and his helper
By demanding just such nuissnces labor unions

! prosperity. By demanding higher wages they may
be decided help to the nation But this seems a
clear instance in which twelve employed

the pipe filters doing while the machnists, the
cab carpenters, the sheet metal workers and the
Ox-weders operating? What are the ox-welders
doing while the boiermaker and his helper are

penter and his helper doing while the pipe filter

not be possible for good mechanic to complete
the entire operation in less time than is taken up
by these twelve OF various trades?
The principal object is get locomotives
repaired-to get stay bolts put in. For this work
the railroads should pay high a wage as posi-
considering the condition OF the transportation
industry. But they should be forced to pay
twelve when man might be able to do

HOROSCOPE
SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER II. 1922

SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER IL 1922
Astrologers read this as day
of conflicting planetary influences
during which it is not wise to take
any great risks. Jupiter and the
Sun are adverse, while Neptune and
Saturn are in benefic aspect.
Under this sway OF the star,
there should be unusual interest in
public affairs and there will be a
tendency on the part Of the people
to indulge in severe criticism.
The remainder of the year is
to be time for facing unpleasant
facts and many political candidates
will discover before the second new
Moon that optimism does not win
the votes.
This is not an auspicious rule
under which to begin any new
work. Big business will be
especially hard on all independent
corporations while this rule pre-
walls.
A II the signs appear to indicate
preparations for a great war and
the planetary rule also presayes
intense activity in behalf of peace
among individuals in the United
States.
They who would SAFEGUARD
property will do well to arrange
all business matters most carefully.
for there may be unusual causes
for financia stress.
While many sinister aspects an
pear at this time. the balance is
kept by numerous good signs.
Education is to benefit greatly by
drastic reforms and greater inter-
est in all the arts is to be mani
tested.
The return of great teachers.
which has been long prophesied by
experts, is declared to be now evil
dent in certain forms of the drama.
AstroloGers point out that much
indirect spiritual leadership is to
be expected at this time when per-
sons will be led to do unusual
things for the uplifting of human
thought.
Persons whose birthdate il is
should have busy and remun-
erative year. The young will court
and marry.
Children born on this day may be
exceedingly sensitive and impul-
sive, but talented and able to sue
ceed Many girls OF unusual
beauty are born at this time of
the year.
