Keeping the Eye

Union men and women must support the labor press
because the public press does not give sufficient space
matters affecting organized labor.
That was the sound advice given the other day by the
New York State Council of the Allied Printing Trades IN
convention at Buffalo.
The labor press is the only press the worker de
pend upon to support his through thick and thn
through times of peace we'll times of stress Unless
the worker supports his press when times are favorable
for its development it will not have the opportunity to-
grow and strengthen itself for the time when it perhaps
will be the only medium through which the worker can
present his side of controversy.
There are many ways in which the worker sup
port the labor press Of his first duty to sub
scribe to his labor paper and see that his fellow workers
do likewise Then he must talk labor press whenever he
the opportunity. He must point out what strong
labor paper do for the of trade uni0nism lie
must direct attention to the fact that the labor paper
serves the community by exposing corruption and MUS
ce He must show that the labor paper not only ends the
activities of rascas who rob and exploit the people but
that makes those disposed to try the game think
twice before embarkng on career which is pretty sure
to be ended by the white light of publicity.
Friends of the labor press must also be alert to aid the
editor in making his paper of the greatest interest and
value to union and their families. They can often
suggest articles and features which will prove OF interest
Of the editor usually knows about the calling of
Strikes signing of new agreements and other important
labor news in his community but he may not always know
of less important events which of much interest 0

affairs given by the unions by organizations made up

BY supporting the labor press and cooperating with
it, the worker is not only building up strong and power

other publications to give constantly increasing amount
of space organized labor and its activities No paper
likes to be scooped by another and when the daily finds
it is losing OUT on labor news it will remedy the
situation by giving more space to such news.
Thus by supporting the labor press organized labor
gains greatly increased publicity for its cause with

aims of trade unionism

WHY PUBLIC UTILITIES
ARE STATE REG LATED

Madison, Wis, Aug. 23.--In his
magazine published in this city, Sena-
tor La Toilette gives this clear illus
tration why public utility is regu-
lated by the state:
Investment by private parties for
the purpose of building a railroad OF
any other public utility is a very diff
ferent thing from investment by
private parties in private bust
ness enterprise, such as buyin real
estate, building a business block, a
manufacturing plant or other private
venture.
"In the case of investment in pri-
vate enterprise the investor takes all
the chances of loss. His right to
speculative profits, however large, is
recognized and protected by law
"But in the case of the honest and
prudent investor in a public enter
prise, such as the building of rail
road or other public utility, the in
vestor is accorded Just and reason
able protection by the courts against
the loss of his principal or the loss
of reasonable profits on his invest
ment.
"rhe courts will always sustain the
| railroad or other public utility il
charging the people rates sufficient.

against loss and insure to the investo
a reasonable profit on his capital

The railroad owners insist that III,

cost of reproducing such propertie

New YorlS Aug. 23.-There are l,
100000 children in this country who
are housed in inadequate public
school buildings, said DR.. George
Drayton Strayer in an address to stu
dents in this city.
The speaker insisted on school plan
ming years ahead. He said communi-
ties select improper sites and later
they are forced to eucroach on play
space, which, he said, is just~as inn
portant as class rooms. He advocated
large tracts for play spaces SO that
play may become a regular part of
the school program.
Mrs. Edith Elmer Wood, housing
authority. said one-third of the popu-
lation of the United States is subnor-
mally housed and one-tenth is housed
under conditions which produce acute
degenative changes, physical, mental
ana moral.

OUTSIDE UNIONS AGENT
BITES FRIENDLY HAND

Washington, Aug. 23.-In a paper
owned and edited by W. ID. Brown, at
torney and legislative agent Of al
unaiIilialed organization Of rural let
ter carriers. it is stated that III the
last ID years A. +. of l.. Secretary
Frank Morrison appeared once before
"a congressional committee in behalf
of rural carriers. and that is the only
time representative Of the 4. +. Of
/. has appeared in that capacity. n
taking sharp issue with Attorney
Brown. Secretary Morrison said:
Apparently strong trade union
sentiment is permeating the rural
communities. and this is reflected IN
a friendly sentiment among rural let
ter carriers for A. +. Of l.. utilization.
which Mr. Brown opposes.
"He Is pursuing the tactics Of feac.
ton in attacking the 4. +. Of L.
These methods will do the rural letter
carriers no permanent good, and /
doubt if he speaks for any consider
able number Of ruraLcarriers.
Carriers familiar with the facts
know of the. great fight made BY the
4. +. Of l.. to restore TO them their
right of direct petition through the
enactment of the anti-gag law. They
also know of the successful efforts Of
the A. +. of l.. for wage legislation,
retirement legislation, compensation
for-injufy acts and other important
measures.
Il join with Mr.. Brown in wishing
that rural carriers were not located
hundreds of miles from the nations
capital, and that they could secure
frst-hand informbation through direct
contact. In that event they would
soon learn Of the unity of wage work
ers, under the banner Of the A. +. Of
L., when urging congress to adopt
remedial legislation.
Il am willing to rest my case on
the testimony Of the organized postal
employees, all of whom have found
A. +. of L. utilization desirable and
helpful.
Il trust these rural carriers will
continue their inquiry into the sery-
ces rendered them by the A. +. of L.,
and join the National Federation Of
Rural Letter Carriers, now affiliated
with the A. +. of L."

to the local trades council, Congress
man Huddleston defended high wages.
Workers support society, SO the
more they pet the moro society will
have he said. "The working men are
the producers, and the grocer, the
merchant, the doctor, the lawyer, t.
banker, and everybody else who do
not work, live Off him. 1t stands to
reason, then, that the more the work
ing men earn the more the other fell
low makes Off them. Yet our chamber

wealth of cheap labor"

Observation-Disclosures.
BANKS AND THE NORWEGIAN


BANKS AND THE NORWEGIAN,
Bankers insist on their depositors
opening savings accounts. What is
the reason? 1t is good business foI
the bank. But is there no other rea-
son? Yes. There are many reasons,
some of which are worth the deposit
tors knowing.
A savings account, however small,
is a wofkman's best recommendation
to, his banker, and source of con-
fidence to himself, providing he keeps
adding to it.
A checking account that is per
petually exhausted is not a good
recommendation in itself, however
accurately it is kept by the depositor,
unless it is exhausted by the transfer
of funds to a savings account or to
some stable security or safe invest
ment.
Too often the working man looks
upon a bank as a monument to CAPT
talism. That is a mistaken attitude
1t is monument to thrift and indus
try of workmen as well as merchants
successful farmers and honest de-
positors of every class small and
great.
Banks are good institutions for the
thrifty of all classes. They are
hard, merciless institutions only fol
the careless and Indifferent.
The banker is a human being
bound by immutable laws that forbiC
carelessness in the handling of othel
peoples money. There is no need t.
fear him. The only man who has rea
son to fear banker is one who hal
been careless in his investments, o
extravagant in his habits to the poin
of financial embarrassment.
If workman wants to stand wei
with his banker let him prove that h
is trustworthy. This he may do b!
practicing economy of which the bank
er is aware, and by taking the banke
into his confidence in all business in
vestments, whether he has need of !
loan or not. If he finds that hi
banker cannot be trusted TO give un
selfish advice let him change his de
post to another bank. Reliable bank
ers are not hard to find. The aver
age banker builds his reputation, no
primarily upon his own success, bu
upon the success of his depositors
consequently his advice is likely to b
sound.
Every workingman owes it to him
self ito stand upright upon his owl
feet, to respect himself, to be indie
pendent of charity or accident Thi
he cannot do without good bushes
management.
The chief difficulty in the way 0
the workingman's financial progress
lies in the fact that he is not schoole
in sound business methods. He blum
ders more often than he succeeds
That is not disgrace. He is a spe
cialist in his me of trade, but bust
ness investments are not in his line
He needs sound advice.
Let the workingman who reads thi
go at once to his banker and lay hi
financial problems on the table, grea
or small, without the slightest reser
walton or pretense, and ask advice
Bankers should not be mere subject
Of criticism without good reason
They are to be used. If the banke
has more money than the common
laborer it is the workman's first dut
to find out how the banker achieve
his success. A wise workingmal
will not complain because the banke
drives a Pierce Arrow and he a Ford
He will try and find out how to ear
the right to Pierce Arrow.

The fact that Nuxated Iron is today

SUES LANDLO ORD FOR
INJURIES BY FALL

Clotilda L Bush yesterday filed
suit in the District Supreme Court
against Walter L. Lyddane for $780,
900 damages for alleged personal
injuries. Represented by Attorneys
Walsh and Whalen, Mrs. Bush
claims that the defendant operated
January 20, 1921, an apartment
house at 1929 First street northwest
in which she was a tenant, and
that she had the use of porch
inclosed by a wooden railing.
Plaintiff claims that the defend
ant had some repair, done to the
porch, and that in falling over an
obstruction she took hold of the
railing which broke, throwing her
eighteen feet to the ground, injur-
ing her seriously and permanently.
Her husband, Arthur L. Bush, asks
for $4,000 damages for the loss of
his wife's services and expenses for
medical attention.
