Recently the big daily newspapers
have awakened to the fact that the
public has rights superior to railroad
men and coal men. 1t matters not
whether the operators or the employ
ees are to blame for the outrageous
loss Of business and the suffering
caused by hampering transportation
and fuel. All together they comprise
only a small percentage Of the peo-
pie and they should be made subser-
Went to the general public in matters
so essential to the common welfare.
Every man who can not see this re-
sponsibility should be forced out Of
these lines of business. The public
has the power TO do it and some day
will assert that power. The situation
is getting almost unbearable even
now. Men who are so absorbed in
their own greedy game that they care
nothing about the rights or lives of
their fellow citizens are unfit to serve
in any capacity involving public SER
vice, direct or indirect.

UNITED WORKERS NEEDS
EXPLAINED TO THE PTTRIJC

The following appeal ITO the Public
has been issued: That branch of the
United Workers which you know now as
the Family Welfare Department wants
to have a little talk with you and 1 hope
you will try to feel just as if you were
sitting down with US in our office.
Even though We try very hard to do
the wisest things We find We are often
misunderstood, and sometimes really
censured for what We do; and we want
very much to have you know some Of
our problems and to feel that We al
ways desire to do what is best.
You know that every once in a while
we ask through The Bulletin, who is a
good friend to all Of US. for donations
Of various kinds for our needy fanli-
Les, and We could not get along without
your ready response and generous sup
port.
Now, for one thing, II we only had a
storehouse where we could keep the eX-
ira things until we were ready to use
them. We would never have to refuse
any suitable articles But instead of
this We have only two very small rooms
With few shelves and a couple Of ia.
bles-enough space in which TO handle
the contributions. Il the things sent IN
US are all disable, hut # a considerable
part is worthless to us-moth-eaten or
very ragged and soiled it is a serious
matter for the women who give theil
time and strength to keeping the things
on the shelves in order and good con
dition so that the clothing may be Elver
out to the best possible advantage wher
the call for the garments comes. Thi-
does not mean that we do not appreciate
the whole things and the clean thing,
that YOU send us-indeed we do from
the bottom of our hearts and need then
all the time in our work.
That is why We ask you for your do
