FAMILY MEN GET $12 WAGE, BUSINESS
 MEN THE LOSERS

For several months various agen- cies of big business have been using all of the means at their command to reduce wages of the workers of this country to the lowest possible level. That these efforts have been success full, among the unorganized at least, is evidenced by the fact that men with families to support are receiving as low as SIP for full weeks work in many places, including our own City of New Haven,- says. local busl- ness agent. Surely those mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce who conduct a business directly de pendent upon the patronage of the working people for its success must have been short-sighted to lend their assistance to the entirely unwarrant- ed and unjust drive to reduce the in comes of poorest paid workers of this country. For the workers can spend only in proportion to their earnings and it is obvious that those being paid a weekly wage of SIP ,or 25 or 30 cents per hour, that some are receiv- ing, have but little to spend. In fact such workers are practically on the road to the poor house and are but little better off than the starving lent government recently appropri- ated $2o,ooo,o ,ooo after having refused to spend one cent for the relief of its own unemployed. It would seem that although big business has succeeded in reducing wages of certain workers to a low level, the victory will be a costly one for many of the business men who gave their moral and fnan- cial aid to the drive that made its Success" possible, and who will prob ably suffer bankruptcy as result. Perhaps such business men will find comfort in the story of the patient whose operation was Success" but who had to journey to the next world to celebrate it.

 "I wouldn't want to hear people say that the poor waves couldn't play with the Storm family any more because they were too weak and wretched.
 II wouldn't want that said at all, so when I tell you that wish to ask you why you are so rough, I do not ask it because I mind it, but because I love your beautiful strength, my Wave children.
 "Yes, 1 admire your wonderful, glo- rious, perfect strength, and your great great, great beauty"
 We are so glad, Mother Ocean. And now you will see our strength this very day, for the Storm family is giv- ing a party and every Wave Is in- vited."

FORTUNE AND FARM FOR GIRL WAITRESS
 WHO REFUSED TIPS

Three years ago Elizabeth Hill grew rants and started west in search of fortune and a place where 'the hand clasp is little stronger and where the smile dwells little longer" Today she has >$10OOO cash and 1000 acre Ne braska ranch. Here's how it happened:
 Lizzie drifted to the little restaurant in the Union Pacific transfer station at Council Bluffs, Iowa. Here Elias Dex- ter, a 8O-year-old rancher of western Ne braska, was wont to lay over for a day or two en route to and from the Chicago stockyardS with trainloads of prime beef cattle and was patron of the eating house wher Lizzie worked. When he gave her a tip it was promptly returned, Every time the Nebraska rancher came the tip was little bit larger, and every time 1t was returned a bit sooner. One day old man Elias laid down a $1O0 bill in front of Elizabeth. But 1t, too, came back, just like boomerang. He asked her name, and they talked of mutual l1l- terests. Last week Lizzie received a letter signed by Elias Dexter, which read:
 II am going back to England to die in the land where l was born. But l shall often think of you here i'll the country where 1 have spent 50 happy years. You deserve better fate than sweating behind a railroad restaurant counter. You are real American girl you declined the tips l offered. You are the only waitress 1 ever met who re- fused them. In the hills of Devonshire I have a wife and daughter buried. In memory of them, and with my wishes for your future, I beg you to accept these few rememberances."
 The letter contained deed for 1000 acres of Nebraska's best grazing land and a check for $10,000. Elizabeth has resigned her job in the restaurant to become rancherette.

WORKERS PAY FOR
 FREE" INSURANCE,
Could Get Real Goods With Wages
 Then Taken From Them.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 1o.-"The wage reduction last July of 12H per cent, as we'll as the reduction of 10 per cent they are now clamoring for would buy you real insurance which, you could keep for your heirs after ayou left the employment of this com pany"
 The above summarizes the attitude of transportation employees toward the free" insurance recently an nounced by the Delaware x Hudson railroad In joint statement, the engineers, hremen, conductors, tele- graphers and trainmen say:
 "The Delaware & Hudson manage ment has just launched an insurance scheme that in our opinion may be masquerading under the pretense of philanthropy, while really intended to undermine the organizations and weaken their power for good for their members.
 "The proposition is declared to be voluntary on the part of the Dela- ware & Hudson company, which re- serves the right to discontinue, mod ify and do 10 the plan whatever it sees fit in the future This leaves the company perfectly free to do as it likes.
 "The main purpose of the free in surance proposition is to discourage employees from carrying insurance in their labor organizations, and to take

 "Yes," said Mother Ocean, my chill dren are we'll liked. I cannot but say that.
 Everyone cares for you-or at least there are enough to care for you so you'll always have playmates.
 Sometimes I think your playmates are pretty rough, but then you always calm down again and know how to be quiet and well-mannered and restful.

which expires in June The closest attention is being given to this legis- lation and all effort is being made to secure as good a law as possible.
 Danger to Women in Industry Women in industry are confronted with a very grave danger. The Ma tional Women's Party IS preparing to have introduced in Congress a resolution providing for an amend ment to the Constitution of the United States, as follows: No political, civil or legal disabilities or inequalities on account of sex or on account of marriage unless applying equally to both sexes shall exist within the United States or any ter ritory subject to the jurisdiction thereof Should this amendment be adopted all the protective legislation of the states and nation would be re- pealed. The minimum wage laws and those that limit the length of the work day for women would be un- nstitutional Laws prohibiting women from working in coal mines and switchyards or on street cars would be null and void. Because of physical conditions women are not able to take their place in industry on an equality with men. Only the Ma tional NYoman's Party Is in favor of the proposed amendment. All other Women's organizations are absolutely in opposition to the proposal.
 Naturalization.-H. R. o238, by Representative Johnson, provides for the registration of immigrants before they are permitted to land and their annual registration thereafter until they become citizens. It certainly seems that the government already has exercised too much surveillance over the people now within the bord CTS of the United States.
 U. s. Shipping Board.-S. Res. 1I3, by MT. LaFollette, calls for all inves- tigation. of the causes of the seamen's strige in 1921. The investigation is to include the charges that discrim- inatory agreements have been made between certain railroads of this country and shipowners of foreign countries against the United States Shipping Board; that the latter is cognizant of this fact and is cO-oper- ating with those interests to the detri- ment of United States shipowners, in cluding the Shipping Board itself
 Recommendation - Opposition to the scrapping of the Department of Labor, to the Chinese coolie bill, to the decreasing of the size of the Monthly Labor Review and the cen sorship of it's contents, and to the proposed amendment to the Constitu- ton which would kill all protective Legislation for women should not be abated one iota.

BILLS PENDING IN
 CONGRESS AFFECT
 ORGANIZED LABOR
A. F. of L. Board Advises Workers to Get Busy on Some
 of Them.

Each month the legislative repre- l sentatiVes of the American Federation { ot Labor make a report of the legls- ] lation proposed in Congress and the
 attitude upon it taken by Labor. These reports are published monthly ! i'll the American Federationist. Fol-
 lowing is brief summary of meas
 ures before Congress:
 Hawaiian Coolie Bill-Another drive" on Congress is to be made by the sugar planters of Hawaii to secure the passage of the Chinese coohe bill. That conditions on the sugar plantations Of Hawaii are not
 as bad as painted by the lovers of Chinese coolies is evident by this edi- torial statement in the Honolulu Ad vertiser of October 3I, 1921: "The sugar and pineapple industries are not down and out by long shot" Much stress IS laid on the claim that the admission of Chinese coolies will ''Americanize" Hawaii That this Is the rankest kind of treason to Amer ica can be proven by the following authoritative information received from Honolulu: No encouragement
 of any kind is given to white new corners from the mainland looking for work. Ninety-hve per cent. go back disgusted"
 Another great danger to Hawaii in
 the importation of Chinese is the new disease that immigrants from that country are bringing into the United isolated i'll San Francisco. It is known as clonorchasis. It is a para
 site disease consisting of d small worm or fuke which locates in the no treatment has been found which is in any way effective. The disease comes from eating fresh water snails and certain species of fish that eat snails
 Reorganizing Congress.-H. J. Resolution 226, by Representative Campbell, of Kansas, proposes con stitutional amendment providing that representatives in Congress shall be elected every four years instead of two years, and that the number of members shall be 300 instead of 435. The bill IS evidently intended to in crease the terms of members of Con- gress and thus remove them still further from the influence and con trol of the people.
 Reclamation.-S. 27oo, approprlat ing I6,2oo,ooo for the purpose of carrying out reclamation projects al ready initiated, passed the Senate and was sent to the House. The senti ment in favor of reclamation legisla
 ton IS gradually growing At the same time, there appear to be inhu ences at work to prevent this legisla ton that will be of such enormous benefit to our people. A committee of engineers appointed by the gov ernment to look into the feasibility of the deepening and extension of the St. Lawrence river has made it's re- port and it is understood to be favor able to the project, which will con- tribute more greatly to the advantage of transportation and in the meantime employing larger numbers of the workers of both the United States and Canada.

REDUCING WAGES IS
 BAD FOR BUSINESS.
 SAYS COLUMBIA MAN
Prof. seligman Tells Credit Men Merchants Are Making Big
 Mistake.

Professor Edmund R. A. Selig1nan professor of economies and finance at Columbia University, told the members of the New York Credit Mems Associa- ton at their recent banquet that those business men who are going on the theory that wage reductions are neces- 'sary are making "a big mistake, because a reduction of wages means a reduction of the buying power of the nation"
 Additional significance is given Prof Scligman's statements by the fact that he has always been regarded as one of the political economists of Big Business.
 The professor tossed another bomb shell when he declared that the banks of this country were carrying "an enor- nous amount of frozen credits" This was a flat contradiction of the state ments issued by the officials of the Feb eral Reserve Board. By frozen cred it's Prof. Seligman meant loans on which banks could not realize.
 Following Prof. Seligman's speech, T. Frank Manville, chief executive of the worlds greatest corporation devoted to the mining and preparation of asbestos made public announcement of decis- ion he had made in relation to his en- ployes. Mr. Manville stated that last fall he had been engaged in a study of plants to bring about decreased cost of pro- duction, and had come to the conclusion that the best method for increasing econ omics and lowering costs would be to increase wages.
 Commenting on MT. Manvilles state ment, the Wall Street Journal says
 "President Manvile therefore has es- tablished new and higher standards for salaries and wages and also has taken on a considerable number of men whom he had been compelled by business de- pression to lay of. Already the results justify his philosophy"

through when no one Is looking Afterwards it requires the greatest effort to have the action undone. The committees of Congress have habit of awaiting for the Psychological" moment to report inimical legisla- ton and then under a special rule give the members only few hours to consider it.

This is undoubtedly done in the hope that with the protective activities now temporarily suspended by action of the United States railroad labor board, it will result in the men not feeling the need for membership in railroad labor organizations and make them inclined to take more attractive insurance features offered by the company in theiS stead"

The Story of
 Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXXVIII.-COLORADO
 M>sT SoSsM l. is the XN Sz~NM most precious lSI M ksIS Q ] Il for in the WA EsSsZw/oW mining of W3(W gold and sil-
 481 yer 1t sur- passes all other States, produc- ing about one-third of the total output of the entire country. In fact, it's real history starts in 1858, when gold was first dis covered.
 Prior to that time there had been but little settling in this region. Spanish explorers had traversed the country in the lat ter part of the Eighteenth cen tury, and laid claim to 1t. As a part of the Louisiana Purchase it came into the possession of the United States in 1903. Off, cers of the United States army were sent out to explore this wilderness among whom were Lieutenant Pike in 1906, and it was after him that Pikes Peak was named. In 1919 Colonel Long made extensive explora- tions and he was followed in 1S42 by Fremont, whose activi- ties in the Mexican war brought him into much prominence. At the close of the Mexican war, Mexico ceded her rights to this territory to the United States. but it was considered a barren waste and unattractive for set tiers.
 Then in 1858 came the dis covery of gold in the bed of Dry OACNhS 0 AC" SOOlA O1 where Denver now stands. The following spring tens of thou sands of men f1ocked into what was then called the Pikes Peak country. In 1859 Denver became a town of one thousand inhabi- tants, and by the next year had grown into big city with news papers, theaters, and a govern ment mint.
 In 1861 the Territory of Col orado was created and in 1876 Colorado was admitted as the thirty eighth state of the Union. Its area is 1O3,948 square miles \ and it's population entities the state to six presidential cleo tors.
 The name is taken from the Colorado river, and is a Spanish adjective meaning "colored red"
 Colorado is often called the Centennial State, as it was ad- mitted to the Union just one hundred years after the Declara- tiOn of Independence.
