Once upon time shiek left his
native home (the vaudeville stage)
to seek greater profession. Finally
he heard of a city on the banks of
the Mississippi called Minneapolis,
and to this oasis he journied to pitch
his tent. After much shieking he
decided to capitalize his previous
profession and began by entertain
ing and beating the drums in a cafe.
One day troup of his fellow shieks
accompanied by fair shebas came into
town and were billed at a big theater.
Some made the cafe, where he had
worked, their rendezvous. To keep
down the embarrassment, the famous
shiek absented himself from his job
for the week lest 1t become known
that some OF his sheckles were gar
nered from the Midnite crew. But
he was too diplomatic to let his
friends know he was an entertainer.

Why Not Make
St. Anthony Ave.
a Boulevard
Now Rugged Avenue Might Be
Made Into One of City's
Beautiful Driveways.

Here in st. Paul we have st. An
thony avenue. On this street many
beautiful homes are owned by repre-
sentative citizens. with their well
kept lawns. flowers, shrubbery and
stately trees they are indeed source
of great pride to us. Each one takes
a personal interest in their property.
1t is not allowed to detoriate. Each
season sees many improvements
which tend to increase the value Of
these homes.
On the other hand, st. Anthony
avenue proper, from Rice street to
Lexington avenue, is in a deplorable
condition. One can really be con-
vinced of the true condition of this
street by riding in an automobile.
Rugged and rough, covered with
many ruts, this street is detrimental
to ones car.
Imagine this street covered with
asphalt from Rice to Lexington. What
a difference. We would have a real
boulevard; one that would rank with
Grand, South Park, Drexel and Calu-
met Of Chicago.
Think this over, property owners,
and get busy with petition and pave
ST. Anthony avenue and see what &C
ton the city council will take.

The Sugar Steal
To Be Investigated

Washington-Tha the administra-
tion is attempting to limit the sup
ply of American sugar by artificial
means, and thus increase the price
of sugar to the American people, is
charged by Senator Robt. M. La Fol
lette Of Wisconsin, in an article for
the Peoples Legislative service.
To insure their control of the sugar
market, American capitalists, with
the aid of Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah, who helped write the sugar
schedules in the last tariff act, and
who is himself connected with an or
ganization which is a large investor
in American beet sugar, it is stated,
sought to control the supply Of Cuban
sugar In a letter addressed to Gen
eral Crowder, American ambassador
to Cuba, Senator Smoot asked him
to lay before the president Of Cuba
proposition for reducing the tariff
on Cuban sugar from 1.6 to IA cents
per pound, provided Cuba would limit
her crop to $50 of the normal pro-
duction.
The Republic of Cuba rejected the
demands made upon her by the Off
cials of the American government,
who were working with and for the
American sugar interests.

PEOPLE PAY FEDERAL TAXES

Recent news dispatches in the daily
papers tell the peoole that manu-
facturers of this country paid into the
United States Treasurey 76 per cent
of all the federal taxes received.
Technically speaking, the manufac-
turers did pay federal tax, but they
did not suffer any loss from it for
they tackled it to their selling prices
and loaded it onto the wholesaler.
The wholesaler paid his tax, then
he added it to his selling price and
Soaked" the retailer or merchant.
Ask the merchant if he paid his Fed
eral tax He will say, "Of course l
did" Ask him if he adds taxes, in
surance, rents, and all items of "over-
head" expense onto the purchase price
of his goods and he again will say
"Of course | do" Then, who pays
this tax into the United States Treas
ury? The People, not the Manufac-
turer. It's the people who suffer the
burden of taxation. Don't think for
a minute that the Manufacturer pays
taxes. He does not-he pays it for
the people but collects it right back
and then some.

Saws Labor Unions
Have Scared Gary
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-"We have scared the en-
ployers into beginning the change
from the II to the 8 hour day." says
VIM. Harmon, chairman committee of
international unions for organizing
the steel workers, commenting on the
announcement that two or three of
the smaller plants in the Gary (lnd.)
district will reduce working hours.
He declares that the organization
campaign is making good headway.
"The workers realize" says Han
non, "that this concession on the
part of the steel companies is direct
ly traceable to our agitation, begin
ming with the steel strike in 1919:
The report Of the Interchurch World
movement also had much to do with
the matter, but the churches were
moved to take the matter up as re-
suit of the 1919 strike"
"The experience of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Co. has been that the g.
hour day does not increase cost OF
production, owing to the greater eff
fciency resulting from the shorter
work day." Harmon states.
"The steel workers for the present" !"
he says, "will have to accept a smaller
daily wage, although higher rate
per hour, as a result of the change.
But if properly organized, as they
should be, they can later force their
wages up"

WHY STRANGLE YOUR UNION?

Many we'll intentioned unionists
keep their union in their pocket.
That is they feel that so long as
the dues book in their pocket regis
ters the fact that their dues are paid,
and they are in good standing every
thing is we'll in the world of organized
labor.
That it is better to have paid up
union card in your pocket than not
to have any is beyond question. But
it remains true that your union will
not grow in your pocket.
The fellow sitting or standing next
to you on the street car going to work
or coming home may never learn
from you if you keep your union IN
your pocket either the advantages or
necessity of organization.
1t is not contended or advocated
that it would be desirable for un-
ionist to bring out his union card and
hold it up to the view of passengers
on a crowded street car. Yet even
keeping your union in your pocket
and never saying anything about 1t
to anyone.
People belonging to fraternal or
ganizations are boosters for them.
Thye talk about them continuously.
They emphasize their good points at
every opportunity.
What transpires in the meeting of
a union is the business of the mem
bers. 1t is not to be haWked about
the streets and shouted in public
places. There is nothing to be gained
by this.
But there are great many things
to be gained by members of organized
labor whenever the opportunity af-
fords by impressing on those they
meet the things in general that or
ganized labor has accomplished for
the workers.
1t is just as easy to tell about the
benefits of unionism as to hold forth
on the pleasantness or disagreeable-
ness of the weather.
Get your union otu of your pocket.
Think about it and talk about it. And
you will find that the seeds of con-
versation you SOW in many instances
will result in bringing into the fold
of organization those with whom you
have conversed.
Every person brought into the
union is assisting you to better
wages and conditions Every person
remaining unaffiliated is helping the
employer to lower wages and make
conditions more irksome.
Get your union out of your pocket
and plant the seeds of organization
in the minds of the workers you meet
going to and from work, on the job
or wherever you come in contact with
them.
You will find time invested in this
way bringing you dividends both
pleasing and beneficial.
Your union won't grow in youl
pocket.-Toledo Union Leader.

Power of Labor.

There Is no doubt that labor
throughout the world today exerts
greater influence upon public affairs
than ever before.
This influence will be used to pro-
duce changes in many directions. In
continental Europe it is remaking gov
ernments. In Great Britain 1t prom
ises to produce far-reaching changes
in the economic system. In the
United States the tendency is taking
a direction like that observed III Eng
