TO school. No one
ever asked me to go, and no n ever
sent me. They didn't care If / didn't
go to school and by they l mean my
family.
"For an Australian Monitor learns
all he has to learn out Of school just as
we'll as he would in school. Perhaps
he learns his lessons out of school bet
ter and what he should do and eat and
SO forth.
San Australian Monitor might be in
school filling ink-wells when ne could
be making himself a stronger and a
better animal or reptile by being out
of doors and catching a small rabbit
or something like that.
"An Australian Monitor, Of course,
is a liZard-and a good strong lizard,
too. We can eat small animals whole.
We are very large and very big and
grow to be eight feet long.
ave can run very fast and we live
in the dark jungles. We are fond Of
meats in the way Of food, or rather,
we don't care about vegetables.
"We are from India and we have
relatives in Africa and In Australia.
"Eut one of the most important
things about us is that we can eat
eggs whole and that the sells dissolve
themselves just like capsules or pills
do.
Eyes, eggshells are alright for US,
and I'll tell you the reason.
ave have fine di~gestions. We don't
have our tummies getting upset the
way so many creatures do.
"Gracinus, we don't have to go to
bed and take bad medicines and say:
"'Oh dear. oh dear. why did i eat
that!'
Eyes, W. have superior digestions
and they are important"
awe are beautiful" said the Green
Lizard. "And our family came over

of our own accord. You know what /
mean"
"We didn't go down TO the pier with
our luggage and put u names on the
passenger list and then come across
in cabins on the big BOAT or anything
like that.
But we were brought over.
"And when you speak about diges-
tons we agree with you.
ut is most important and very
pleasant to have a good digestion. 1t

GARBAGE MEN
BETTER PAID
THAN SHOPMEN

Cleveland, July 20.--The city of
Cleveland is advertising widely for
common laborers to handle the city's
garbage at ~ cents an hour, with
permanent and steady employment.
Skilled laborers in the garbage plant
are offered as high as $6.75 day. BY
a striking coincidence, in the same
papers and often on the same page
are advertisements of railroad COM
panies for skilled machinists, boiler
makers, electricians, car repairmen
and inspectors, to take the place of
these high-elass employees who are
striking against the wage slash Just
ordered by the Railroad Labor Board.
These skilled employees. upon whose
faithful services the safety of every
traveller on the railroads depends,
have been cut to as low as 1898 day.
The very highest paid shop mechanics
have lust been ordered by the decision
of the u. S. Labor Board to work for
less money than the city of Cleveland
is paying its common unskilled labor
in the garbage department.
Indeed, these unskilled workers,
without any responsibility whatever,
are receiving within 5 cents day OF
the S5.S1 average wage OF railway
engine service employees, the highest
paid group in the employ of the rail-
roadsi Skilled labor at the city gar
bage plant is receiving nearly dollar
a day more.
The glaring contrast between the
low wages paid skilled railway. en-
ployes and the wages paid to ordinary
unskilled workers by private employ
ers who have a regard for the well
fare of their men provides an answer
to the question: what is wrong with
American Railroads ?" The trans
portation industry of the country de,
mands such a high degree of skill and
exacts such rigorous fidelity. to duty

ment for a mistake resulting in the

PRICES;
DEFLATE WAGES
PLAN OF BIG BIZ

The high cost of living is coming
back. Living is to cost more than II
has recently, and labor will be de-
flated again by having TO pay more
for what they. buy.
The kept press admits ii. While
clamoring in one column for a re-
duction of wages to satisfy the rail-
roads and mine owners, they state in
another column that the workers they
are trying to force to take less wages
are going to be forced to pay more
for the necessities of lifel
So Big Biz is trying to take US
both coming and going. And the
United States government, through
its president and railroad labor board,
is using its utmost power TO force
the workers to accept reduced pay
while displaying increased living
costs.
The United Press on July 19 sent
out the following news item:
Washington, July Wholesale
prices for commodities, some of which
will not reach the consumer for six
months, continue their upward trend
during June, making an increase OF
| 1-3 per cent, as compared with ad-
vanced prices of 35 per cent during
May, according to the department Of
labor. The June level is 5.5 per cent
above last year, and so per cent above
the 1913 level, the report shows. Fuel
and building materials showed the
greatest advances, rising 4.5 per cent.

SHOPMENiIs STRIKE
is ENDORSED BY
CENTRAL BODY

Believing that the strike of the rail-
road shopmen is fully justified, the
Twin City Federation of Labor, at its
last meeting, went on record as being
in full sympathy with the strikers in
their present conflict.
The Federation pledged Its moral
and financial support to the strikers,
and the delegates were instructed TO
ask their respective unions to render
every possible assistance.
While no official action was taken
in regard to those Twin City mer-
chants who have been supplying the
railroads with bedding and provisions
for the breakers, they were
roundly condemned for having thus
contributed to the possible defeat of
the strikers. II was felt the action
Of the merchants was detrimental to
the community as a whole, inasmuch
as the strike is one in protest Of a
reduction Of wages. which, naturally,
will be detrimental TO the business in
