Your Income

VOUR annual earning capacity or in
II come is measured by the amount of
lifes necessities it will buy.
The American Wooden Company has
through its activities contributed great
deal to raise the standards of weaving and
to lower the cost of clothing, thus enabling
you to use larger portion of your income
for other things essential to life and happi-
ness. y
Sixty mills equipped with every textile ma
chine known to increase and improve the
weaving of cloth, more that $4,000 work
ers, skilled in operating and caring for those
machines, large resources and ready access
to the worlds markets rendering possible
purchase of raw material in immense guam
titles and at favorable prices-these are the
advantages of large-scale operations which
lower costs of production so that the ulti-
mate user of wooden and Worsted fabrics
may benefit.

pensions. AS | look at it he would
think something like this, if old-age
pension is good enough for B. & O..
men why is it not applicable and good
for employees in other industries and

Women and men, do not let the
enemies of the old-age pension draw
"red herring" across the trail but
go to the polls on the 9th day of No

of July for them to dig themselves

Editor Leader:-The enemies of an
Old Age Pension are working over
time in an effort to defeat the pro-
posed law in Ohio. The following
letter was put out on March 1, 1923,
by Ralph M. Easley, chairman of the
National Civic Federation:
"Dear Mr.-If convenient will you
please send check to our Welfare De-
partment for $1.O0 to help in the
campaign we are waging against non
contributing old-age state pensions
There are bills pending at present in
twenty states, and we have sent to
key men in all states having legisla-
tive sessions, the material to combat
such bills as we understand are to be
introduced in others.
81 inclose copy of our report on
old-age pensions which shows con-
clusively that we should oppose any
such legislation in this country until
we can get evidence contrary to the
facts presented in his report by Mr..
Sherman. The abstract sent to you
under separate cover was also mailed
to newspapers in every state, to each
governor and leaders in each senate
and assembly.
"Our committee on pensions, of
which Hon. William R. Wilcox is
chairman, will continue to study the
subject with the hope of working out
an alternate remedy.
Sincerely yours,
"RALPH M. EASLEY,
"Chm. Executive Council" T"
On the face the foregoing letter
may seem all right, but as the writer
of this sees it, it will stand an analy-
sis. In section two of his letter he
(Easley) makes use of the expression
"non-contributory old-age pensions" "
The question naturally comes up, if it
is contributary is it a pension or an
insurance?
In his third paragraph he makes
use of this statement: until we get
evidence contrary to the facts pre-
sented by Mr.. Sherman in his report" "
If Mr.. Sherman in his report pre-
sented facts there could be nothing
further produced, as fact is a fact,
and any investigation to the contrary
would not change its status one iota.
In the fourth paragraph he states
ne mas SenC copies TO governors, Sell
ate and house leaders in all assem-
blies that were working at that time.
This may have something to do with
what Pennsylvania got inthe way of
an old-age pension.
In the fifth and last spasm Easley
says, "our committee of pensions, of
which Hon. William r. Wilcox is
chairman, will continue the subject
with the hope of working out an alter
nate remedy" We don't know what
he means by the term alternate reme-
dy, but we have some history of Mr..
Wilcox, former chairman of New
York Public Utility Commission!
Selah!
The above letter of Easley, issued
as chairman of the Civic Federation,
in all fairness to the executive COM
mittee, should have had their endorse
ment, but a slight retrospection will
show that it has been condemned by
nearly all of the wage eamers group,
notably by w. S. Stone of the B. of l..
E., D. B. Robertson of the B. of L..
F., w. d. Mahon of the Street Car
