THE AaIsTocRAric PLAsTERER


= Speaking of wages, how would you
like to be the plasterer? One of
Chica5os largest contractors says:
"Aplasterer is entitled to $44 a week
under the Lands award On one
house | am building in tn esuburgs, Il
plasterer receives $12 day as regular
wages and Sc day overtime, or $50
for five days, excluding Saturday.
For Saturday he receives &c for his
regular mornings work and S12 ior
the afternoon, which is overtime.
This gives him S10S for six days
work. Some plasterers work Sundays
and for eight hours overtime receive
$24 additional or total for the seven
day week of 1892. In 1917 it cost ap-
proximately $500 to plaster an average
house. Now it costs $2200." In other
words, it costs almost as much to
plaster house today as it did to
build a substantial structure in 1917.
If the average farmer makes so much
a month as the Chicago plasterer does
a week, he is apt to be pretty well
satisfied. And he doesn't call eigh.
hours day e.ther-Washingt News

reaching as the spreading of scandal
Many women who consider them
selves virtuous and man who claim
TO be honorable will cheerfully PASS
along the most appalling scanda.,
seemingly unconscious of the fact that
if summoned to appear in court, they
have absolutely no proof to supper,
the charges They only know thai
they have heard it and the evil in
their own minds or experience bids
them believe it.
Some sober, honest thinking, clean
lmindedness in viewing our neighbors,
and Christian charity in our public
contracts would do lot to stop
trouble makers.
"Shut up at least one scanda.
m<ger each day." would be fine
motto for every one to adopt
The next time you are told a scan
dalous story, ask the teller to furnish
you with the proof of its truth.
Then watch 'em squirm.

even banking worms will turn, and
there's no penace that compares with
boarding bankers in their lairs. You
seek their den with .al;ering step
without your usual nerve and pep and
meekly stammer that you've "got
some money coming-but your not
at present-fixed to meet that note,
you'd like the words won't pass
your throat. The banker lays his pen
aside and says: We'll, Bill, well let
it ride" Outside the bank you fairly
dance and go and buy your kids some
pants and several books about the
yaks and get your wife a bran-new
axe. That chap in there behind the
bars helps head off half your family
jars; Oh, when l leave this earthly
sphere | hope some banker will be
near to supplement my stringy roll in

TELLS MINE WORKERS
"H0N0R IS AT STAKE
international Official Warns Them
Against Jeopardizina interests

Shamokin, Pa, Jan. 10.-The honor
of the United Mine Workers is at stake
in the coming wage negotiations with
coal operators, Philip Murray, interna-
tional vice president, told the delegates
assembled at the Tri-District Conven-
tion here today. He said: 1.-THE officials
of the miners win follow every honor
able course in their" efforts to avoid a
suspension or q conflict between labor
and capital, but these efforts must not
jeopardize the best interests Of the
workers"
Murray's address was largely an in
dorsement Of a previous address by Mr..
Lewis. international president. He
commended Lewis stand that the men
must make no backward step and that
operators will not be successful in at
tempting to force wage reduction upon
James n. Maurer president of the
Pennsylvania Federation Of Labor, also
spoke. 1t was the first time in several
years for him to appear at labor meet
ing in Shamokin. Two years ago he
was escorted from town by State police.
Maurer said the present crisis in indus
try was due to an efficiency madness.
He said everybody was mad about ef-
fCiency and the human spirit in indus
try had been lost.
The Scale Committee will make it's
report in the next twenty four hours.
1t is expected to give considerable at
tention to the problem of n retroactive
feature in the agreement with miners.
Some of the delegates are opposed to
such n clause. They want to stop work
on April ! II the new scale is not finally
signed bv that time,

Sentence BR|NDLE
21-2-YEAR Term
JEmbezzler Must Return $1,000
He Took From Auditor
Generals Office
GETS NOMINAL FINE OF SIS
Ry the Associated Press

Harrisburg. Jan. 19.-Harry Il.
Brindle, formerly an appropriation
clerk in the Auditor Generals Depart
ment, was today sentenced by the
Dauphin County Court to from two and
n half to three years in the Eastern
Penitentiary, a fine Of 50 and costs and
to make restitution Of $1,000 embezzled
from the State.
The sentence was imposed by Judge
Frank 3. Wickersham following pleas
that a prison sentence be omitted be,
cause OF Brindle's age and physical
condition and that he had made no de-
fense. The Attorney Generals ONCE
asked for prison sentence.
Brindle. whose home is in Sharon,
Mercer County, was a clerk in the Office
of Auditor General Charles A. Snyder
until the latter became State Treasurer,
in 1921. The new Auditor General,
Samuel s. Lewis. on taking Office, May
3. refused to retain him, whereupon
Snyder appointed him to a clerkship in
the State Treasurer's Office.
On April 30 a shortage OF $701S was
discovered in his accounts In the Au-
ditor Generals Office and Brindle was
dismissed from his treasury post.
Despite the fact that Brindle's de-
falcation was known nothing was done
with the case until August last, when
he was arrested on an embezzlement
charge. On the 9th of that month he
appeared before Major Adams, head of
the State police, and others, and con-
fessed he was defaulter. On Friday
last. after another long interval, he
was arraigned in Court at Harrisburg
and pleaded nolo contendere.
Brindle's arrest was the result of the
expert examination Of the accounts Of
the Auditor Generals Office ordered by
Samuel s. Lewis.
This audit also developed that there
is a difference Of more than S25 900, =
900 between the States appropriation
liability and the revenues reported avail
able for the next two years.
One of the first things found by Main
& Co., the certified accountants in
charge. was that the contingent fund in
the last two years Of the Snyder ad-
ministration was short about $701S, and
that vouchers for postage stamps did
not accord with actual purchases.
