tive that legitimate financial institu-
tions take some steps to protect the
public from those who plumber it.
The building and loan associations
are very near the working man. They
talk and meet with him every week.
They are in position to advise with
him concerning his savings. There
should not be any effort to stifie just
investments, but the public should
have some place to turn to for in
formation regarding investments.
The action of the building and loan
men in offering their services to the
government now is in keeping with
their activities during the war, when
they unselfshly sold millions of dol
lars worth of war saving securities,
although it meant that much of this
money was taken out of their own
institutions.

CHURCH men
Talk Like Real Trade Union.
lists

Portland, .Ore.-"The report of the
social service commission of the Puget
sound conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, adopted at Vancou-
yer, Wash, last Saturday, reads like
the proceedings of a labor conven-
tion," says the Oregon Labor Press.
"The report, as adopted, demands
the repeal of the criminal syndicalism
law, favors the release of all political
prisoners, pledges to champion the
cause of free speech and free assem-
blage, and declares that the first
charge on industry should be living
wage.
''The report placed the church on
record as opposing legal sophistries
and injunctions, which, through the
employment of technical interpreta-
tions and injunctions, take from la
borers the rights guaranteed them
under the constitution of the United
States.'"
In recording their opposition to the
syndicalism law, the church men re-
affirmed this magnificent free speech
declara ton:
CAS- Christian citizens we hold that
all of our churches should proclaim
the American principles enunciated by
Thomas Jefferson when he said: If
there be among us any who wish to
dissolve this union, or to change the
republican form, let them stand un-
disturbed as monuments of the safety
with which errors of opinion may be
tolerated where reason is left free to
combat it, y

Falls of roof and coal were respon-

WOMEN'S WAGES
Again Before California In
dustrial Commission

San Francisco.-The industrial well
fare commission is again considering
a minimum wage for working women
and minors. Several months ago the
commission voted to reduce the wages
of working women from SIG week
to SIS. Mrs. Kate P. Edison, the one
woman ont the commission, voted with
the majority. If she voted with the
labor member the proposal would be
defeated.
Organized labor was especially en-
ragged at Mrs. Edson's vote because
she has been drawing from the state
treasury on an average $89 a week
for many months. Previous to her
vote she had been in the habit or at
tending annual conventions of the
State Federation of Labor and making
"uplift" talks.
The wagereduction vote of the
commission was successfully blocked
by the State Federation of Labor and
the San Francisco Labor Council.
whose attorneys convinced the court
that the commissions action was ille-
gal because sufficient notice had not
been given of the hearings. This
decision forced the commission to
start all over again, and the incident
has shown. to the working women of
California the relative merits of
wages by law and wages through
trade union effort.
The organized working women of
the state are now asking if their po-
sition is justified.

POLICE ON THE JOB

One has to hand it to the police
department for the manner in which
it handled the great stream of traffic,
the numberless automobiles, which
passed over the city's streets during
the big days of the fair last week,
especially those leading to the fair
grounds. With officers stationed at
every important cross street the ma
chimes were kept moving along in a
constant stream with never an acci-
dent reported. Safety Director
Grevey is deserving of much credit
for the precautions he took for the
riding public's safety during the big
show.

The governor would pull down the

The governor of New York has US
