WHO Is MOST INTERESTED?

"The class, most interested in
maintaining wages is not the wage
earning class, but the employing and
capitalist class.'
The above is quoted from the daily
press following a statement that
William M. Wood, head Of the Amer
fcan Woolen company, tells the
thousands of employees of that COM
pany that. they need fear no cut in
wages, at least for this season.
A little reflection will enforce the
truth Of the statement quoted at the
head Of this article. The laboring
man knows nothing of stocks and
bonds. His weekly wages mean to
him the ability to purchase his gro
ceries, his clothing, pay his rent, etc.
He puts his money into circulation
Immediately upon it's. receipt,
whereas the capitalist class' puts its
means into stocks, bonds, ETC., or into
banks, where: it is effectually put out
Of circulation unless the keys Of large
interests are used to unlock tho iron
doors of their fireproof and burglar
proof safes.
The larger the pay of the laboring
man the more money there is put into
circulation. Immediately upon wages
being cut in any industrial commu-
nifty business there begins to stag
nate
The business man of this country
does not seem to realize that his in-
terest and that Of the laborer run
concurrently; in fact, he seems to
think that his interest and that Of
the manufacturer are identical, and
he generally assumes a hostile atti-
tude toward the laborer.. As a matter
Of fact, the only bond of interest be.
tween manufacturer and business man.
is the amount which may be owed by
the latter to the former. The manu.
facturer will not repay the losses
which the business man may sustain
upon, wages being cut and q conse-
quent falling off of his business, and
does not reduce the price of his goods
to the latter, but himself pockets the
difference, and it is passing strange
that this bond Of sympathy continues
to exist between them.
The article quoted from at the head
of this closes with the following sig
nificant statement, viz:
"To know the difference between
labor at IS day and labor at 10
cents a day, 80 to China and try to
make money there. Where the crowd
has no money there, is no money to
be made. And the more the average
man has the more the exceptional man
can get. Let able men remember
that.o .,:... J ~ ~.

oA1ss ToR CoAannss.

The st. Louis county Democrats at
the convention held in. Duluth last
Tuesday unanimously and snthusi-
astically endorsed tho public record
Of former Congressman William L.
Canss Of This district, complimented
him upon the fine vote he received
at the last election and urged him to
again become q candidate at tho com.
ing election.
That was 4 merited endorsement
and it is gratifying to know that the
representatives Of the real Democrats
of St. Louis county appreciate the
faithful public service rendered by
Mr.. Carss while in congress, and that
they see in him tho most available
candidate for the 1922 election.
Mr.. Carss did make = fine run two
years ago. He was defeated by but
1000 votes in q district that gave
President Harding majority Of 49,
900. That is some votecgetting. He
should have been elected. A change
Of 525 votes would have put him over.
He was beaten by persons who should
have supported him.: Some Of them
are penitent and are returning to the
fold. Others can not arise above per-
sonal dislikes. But as that is part Of
human nature it must be expected,
accepted and pardoned.
If the working people Of the Eighth
Minnesota district want Mr.. Carss
BACK in congress it is up to them.
They can put him over with the help
Of the great mass Of independent and
Democratic voters who supported him
in tho last election. He is now work
ing on his engine, earning a liveli-
hood in the same way as he did be-
fore he entered congress. He is at the
call Of the people Of this district, but:
he cannot be expected to become a
candidate unless he is assured in ad-
vance Of the whole-hearted, udnstint-
ed support of the men and women
who want done in Washington the
things that he: stands for.
While the st. Louis. county Demo.
Gratis were urging Mr. Carss to be-
come a candidate for congress, the
|Bt. Paul newspapers were discussing
his name in, connection with the
Democratic nomination for governor
Of Minnesota: That sounds good, too.
He is gubernatorial timber. He is
man of the people. He knows their
language, their hopes and aspira-
tions.. # he could 'be. properly pre-
sented to- the people. of this state
Governor Preus would be numbered
among the statesmen that were. Carss
could carry the. Eighth district for
governor by 10000. Every loyal.
voter in this section; irrespective Of
party. affihatioa,; would take pride
and pleasure to assist in electing q
Northern Minnesota man to the high
est office within the gift Of the peo-
pie Of the state.

SAVERS AND BUILDERS.

The st. Louis County Building and
Loan association is starting off un-
der exceedingly favorable circunl-
stances. While: the times are not good
and many workers are unemployed,
nevertheless it is pleasing to note
that hundreds Of workers have opened
accounts with labor's own savings
and building concern.
The big thing before the manage
ment Of the association is to win the
confidence of the workers. They must
know that their saving, are as secure
in the st. Louis County Building and
Loan association as. they arp in the
soundest, banking institution in the
city. They must be assured that good
judgment will be, used in making all
loans and that the strictest economy
shall be practiced in the management.
All the assurance above required to
win public confidence. can be given.
The association, chartered by tho
state, is under the direct supervision
of the state banking department. It
is subject to frequent examination
by the state bank examiner. No, loans
can or will be made except on i'm
proved real estate, limited to: 65 per
cent Of the total value. The most has-
ardous day of the loan is the day it
is made.
! The object of the building and loan
association is three-fold. It would en-
courage thrift among the workers and
.farnish them with a safe and remu.
nerative institution with which they
can trust their savings. 1t would
build homes for the workers and for
others at less cost than private con
tractors can build them, providing a
simple, easy and cheap method Of
paying for them. It would furnish
employment to idle workers at union
wages on buildings, in factories, mills
and forests. All are worthy purposes.
Depositors in the association are
paid ~ per: cent interest on their
savings. That is III per cent more
than savings banks pay. If deposi.
tors do. not withdraw their interest
it is added to their deposits and is
thus compounded. Such a plan pays
better than an insurance policy. AL
tho money plus interest may be with
drawn at any time. I
Home builders pay back on their
loans at the rate of per cent
month. That is to say that on a $4,000
loan the borrower pays into the as
sociation just $50 a month and he
is required to pay no more. No COM
mission is charged for making the
loan. All such service is free. That
in itself is big saving TO- the home
builder. : - 3, .~
Experienced carpenters are in q
position to build homes for borrowers
in the building and loan association
at less cost than can regular con-
tractors. In st. Paul labor's construc.
tion company has saved builders as
much as. $500 on a $4,000 home.
There you have it. All the middle
men are eliminated; unnecessary ex-
pense is saved and needless waste is
conserved. The benefits from this
are realized by both the depositors
and the borrowers. Can anything be
more plaini It is as simple ~ the run
lot the letters in the alphabet. It is
the beginning Of big thial for the

GREED. QoUaEs% PUBLIC.

It was the people n proud boast, at
one time in this country, that the
constitution shielded the individual
or the smallest group in their rights,
regardless Of the opposition's power
and influence, l.,
Today q group of workers can. be
handcuffed to- their labor on the
ground that the public is entitled to
service and that an extensive, strike
is a defiance Of government.
These cunning arguments are urged
by men who y consider themselves
statesmen and by editorial parrots
WHO label their sophistry "govern-
mont by: law"
{ The public's;; new attitude can. be
appreciated. by recalling that when
Pinkerton detectives were used
against the Homestead strikers, 80
years ago, the protest was nation
years ago, the protest was nation
full to. import these thugs into their
states.
To-day these states discuss. making
strikes unlawful and permit the same
brand Of detectives to be deputized
as "peace officers" to break strikes,
This deadening Of social con-
science, warping Of public opinion and
Indifference to wrong has been ac-
complished by publicity Of the same
kind used by a. three-ring circus or a
chewing gum magnate.
To say it was accomplished by
education would libel the noblest of
professions.
= Blatant and. illogicag' the handcuf-
fers appeal to. the very. public they
exploit and gouge. They trustify fac
tories, raise, prices, restrict output,
swell. the army of unemployed and
blame the "law Of supply and de-
mand.
When unfair conditions force a
group of workers to quit employment
the employer is kept in the back
ground while fcan 't-strike" advo-
Gates shrek. that these workers are
"defying the government OF are
a'attempting to coarce the public. -
This system was perfected in 1919
when miners were forced on a nation
wide strike.
Receiving instructions from dele
gate convention, officers Of the min
ers presented their demands to the
coal owners at Buffalo and were re-
pulsed. The coal owners refused to
make counter proposition OF offer
any suggestion that could be used
az basis for compromise.
F. The Buffalo performance was du-
plicated a few days later at Phila.
delphia. Then the miners struck to
enforce their demands.
These facts were ignored by the
various opinion-molding machines that
famed the populace to a. blind fury
against their demands.
This frenzy made it possible for
one Of the most Infamous injunctioRs
ever issued against labor.
The system used against the min.
ers is the system used by "can t.
strike" advocates. They talk about
the "rights of the public'' when they
want cheap labor chained to its task.
At all other times they consider the
public 50 much loot. Their record of
plunder, gouging and profitteering on
the public is. q sordid one. "
When the struggle for human lib
erty in this age is written, what an
opportunity for some word painter, to
tell the story Of an exploited public
being. used by coarse, unsatisfied
greed in, its attempt to enslave the
workers. 3slj<. VII u. !. i.

southeast of Dallas. Ed Thayer,

business and is well known all
over this county, had the misfor-
tune to fall from the tree, break

arm. A physician from Dallas was
summoned and set the injured
member after bringing Mr.. Thayer
to Dallas and having an X-ray
photograph made of the injured
member.
