Ask Only Honor.

The Michigan Business Farmer
claims that the doughboys recruited
from the farms in 1917 and 1918 want
no bonus:
we have never talked to a hard
working farmer boy who saw service
either on this side or in France who
was as rabid for a soldiers bonus as
the American Legion officials would
lead US to believe. The sentiment
of the boys we have talked to seems
to be in favor of taking care OF
all who were injured-giving them
the best care possible-but of asking
nothing for those who fought for a
cause and came back unscathed and
who want only the honor which
every man gets for serving his coun-
try and his flag"
The same journal adds1 The voice
of Secretary Mellon calling for a re-
duction in taxes is indeed welcome
news to the farmers of the country.
but we shall indeed be lucky if, with
a presidential campaign just in the
offing. we are not burdened with a
soldiers bonus. which will be rushed
through in the opening days of the
new Congress to build up political
fences at home"

Waterbury lnsures
 Itself On Compensation
 Saves Many Thousands
Turns Down COmpany's Proposition With $25,- 900 Premium a n d Spends Only $5,3O7.

As an argument for compulsory state insurance, flor which the Con necticut Federation of Labor has been repeatedly recommending a passage of a law, the experience of hte city of Waterbury in self insuring itself against compensation losses stands out prominently While the insurance companies wanted $25,ooo a year to protect the city the city refused to pay 1t and is doing it's own protect ing with excellent results.
 So far this year 1t has cost the city of Waterbury a total of $2,3o7.I6 for compensation for it's employees under the compensation act. The Legisla- ture extended the workmen's com pensation act to include municipal ities in 1922 and in that year Water bury had to pay out $5,326.4o for its employees who were injured in the course of their employment. As 1922 was the first year it was felt that the total for that year could not be taken as a criterion.
 City officials were plainly worried when the compensation act was so amended as to make municipalities i liable for injuries to it's employees, be- cause they felt a compensation de- partment would have to be establish ed or that the city, like private cor porations, would have to be covered by insurance. {
 At the beginning of the present year one insurance company offered to take care of the city with com pensation insurance on the payment of $25,ooo premium. Mayor Guil- foile and the corporation counsePs staff considered 1t along with the aldermen, and it was decided to turn the offer down. and let the corpora tion counsel's office do the best it could with the problem. Thus far the city has saved money by carrying it's own insurance, and theof1cials believe the taxpayers will be saved many more thousands.
 Compensation insurance to munich palities is high. .The reason given by the insurance companies being that various city departments empoly men at hazardous occupations, besides which a. large percentage of the common laborers are men with little education and only fair proportion of them speak English. When busi- ness is good in the factories, the city must hire every Tom, Dick and liar ry to do the common labor work, and insurance companies know this, risk is great and the premium exacted of cities correspondingly high.
 What's good for Waterbury in home government certainly should be good for the state and other cities.

 DREAMS
OUR READERS

It is fine to sit and dream. The dreamers of, the world are the ones that have made life beautiful. Without air castles-no real castles would be built. It is well for us to dream-to aspire for bet ter things for ourselves and for our children. But dreaming IS not enough.
 "Everything comes to him who waits,"-if he hustles while wait ing. We must hustle, you and I, if we want those day dreams of ours to come true-our air castles to be built.
 If you and I want to get our full share out of life-we must give our full share of life. We can't expect to receive all the time. Though the mind should be open to receive, the hand and heart should be open to give-to spend with those who prove they are friends.
 Cooperation is an idle word unless it crystal1izes into action cooperative action. If you would have your dreams come true-help to make the dreams of others a reality.

WILL STAND TRIAL ON
 STRIKE CHARGES
Machinists' Organizers Case Is Sent Back on Technical
 Point.

Ernest Schleifer, organizer of the Machinists' Union, accused of melt ing the railroad shopmen to acts of violence some months ago when the strike was at fever heat, must stand trial on the charges according to the decision this week of the Supreme Court of Errors. The decision came down last Saturday and was at once grasped upon by a number of daily papers as being tantamount to a con- viction for Sch1eifer, the reporters ot the daily press, ably proving the con- tention made by Judge Webb a few weeks before, that they were garbling the court news because they didn't understand what they were Writing about
 The appeaI in the Schleifer case was made by the state on a question of law alone and had nothing to do with the alleged facts in the case. Attorneys Spellacy and Slade for Schleifer raised the point that there had been no violation of any law be- cause no law covering such state ments as alleged, even if they had been uttered, was in existence. The Superior Court sitting in New Haven sustained the plea and threw tke case out
 States Attorney filling at once rose in his might and took an appeal, at the same time declaring that if such a law didn't exist he would have one passed and offered such a bill in the General Assembly. It was passed.
 The Supreme Court simply review- ed the technical point at law and it's decision amounts to about statement that the case shall be tried out on it's merits and it will be. The es- teemed Gin some circles) and ''steam- ed" in others, New Haven Register, at once came to the conclusion that Schleifer would jump his bonds and in bold type said so on it's first page. The wish was father to the thought.
 Mr. Schleifer, now working in New York state, was notified of the Su- preme Court decision. When the case is called for trial he will be present and Nhe and his colleagues are not afraid of the outcome.

HARTFORD MEN
 WIN WAGE RAISE
Painters and Plumbers Granted ST
 Day Raise at Last Minute.

threatened strike no& the lockout threatened by the building contractors for August I, took place Wednesday as scheduled Instead the contractors in large majority agreed to the de- mand of painters, plumbers and steamhtters that their wages be in creased ST a day and work went on as usual with but little interruption and that was caused by some con tractors who had started to start things by laying off their men to stop the demand. These were rounded up Wednesday morning and at noon all were back to work.
 The demands were made two weeks ago and were refused by the con tractors. Several employing painters laid the men off as "an example" to the others of what they might ex- pect. The example didn't affect the situation any and the demands were pressed until Tuesday night the con tractors gave in. The master paint CTS association acted collectively while plumbing cont factors acted i'm dividually, the matter not coming at all before the general contractors association.
 The rates now are $o day of eight hours instead of o8 a day. In addition plumbers and steamhtters helpers were granted an increase to $3o.25 a week of A hours. The re- suit is complete victory for the building tradesmen.

UNIONS TO FIGHT
 COURT GAG ORDER
Injunction Issued Forbids Strikers Even Speaking to Garment
 Workers.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-A rule requiring prospective employees to sign an agreement that they will not join a labor union or talk with a union rep resentative, in exect deprives the job seeker of a constitutional right, ac- cording to an answer filed in United States court by attorneys for the In- ternational Ladies' Garment Work CTS Union.
 The answer was in reply to a tenn porary injunction granted July Is by Federal Judge George A. Carpenter, restraining the union from soliciting or talking with employees of the Mitchell, Brothers Company, makers of womeh's apparel. The company secured the injunction by maintaining that their employees signed an agree ment not to join labor union when they want to work and that the union organizers were in elect asking the employees to break a contract.

GRABBERS CAUSE BUILDING SLUMP.
 SAYS SPENCER
Trades Department Head Shows
 Just Where Cost Is Going.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 3.-Only a comparatively small portion of the increased cost of building operations is chargeable to labor, according to w. J. Spencer, secretary of the Build ing Trades Department of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, and execu- tive secretary of the National Board of Jurisdictional Awards, which met here this week.
 MT. Spencer said there was evidence all over the country of slowing down in the building industry and he resented what he termed an organ ized effort to make the public believe this was due to increased labor costs He said:
 Take building trades labor as a whole, and 1t is fair to say wages are now 50 per cent higher than before the war. Compared with this, build ing materials will average 300 per cent. above pre-war prices, real es- tate in sections where there are build ing operations is now quoted at from 25o to 500 per cent. above pre-war prices, and cost of financing any large building operation is at least 100 per cent. higher"
 The suspension of building during the war, MT. Spencer said, resulted in heavy demand for new construction.
 Everybody, seeing the demand, '' he added, "started in to get his slice. The material men led off, real estate spectators followed, and bankers also declared themselves in. But now, when the slump is coming, the labor ing man is expected to shoulder all the blame"
 The National Board of Jurisdiction al Awards will remain in session here during the week, having 100 specific cases before 1t for adjudication.

TROLLEY STRIKE
 HITS 146 TOWNS X IN NEW JERSEY
Not Wheel Moves. After 6,3oo
 Employees Walk Out
 Aa Wednesday.

Northern New Jersey, from the Hudson to the Delaware, was We'd nesday trolleyless.
 It availed itself of anything from legs to airplanes in getting from place to palce, but 1t could not ride in troll ley cars, for the very good reason that there weren't any.
 The 6,3oo operating empelyes of the Public Service Company lines be- ban going on strike promptly at mid night, and the last motorman and con- ductor were out by 4 a. m, the time scheduled for the final car to com p1ete it's run. Not a wheel moved after.
 No violence accompanied the strike, and reports were that the carmen compiled strictly with a promise, made previously, that they would complete all runs begun prior to mid night before they turned in their badges and other credentials to the company.
 ! It was announced by Thomas N. McCarter, president of the company, that no cars would be operated for passenger traffic no strike breakers employed, except such cars as are necessary to hold franchises. Never the1ess, every available policeman in northern New Jersey was placed on strike duty as 12 o'clock sounded.
 The daily transportation of nearly 2,ooo, ,ooo persons in I46 municipalities was affected by the strike. They had to depend chiefly on jitney busses and the steam railroads, augmented by

Templeton To Kick Over Political Bucket Unless
 Right Man Is Selected
Governor Has Com e Back Up His Sleeve, He Intimates at Din ner to Shopmen--May Back Merritt

\ Governor Charles A. Templeton is through with state politics. He says so himself but it didn't need any such statement for J. Henry Roraback and Ia few others on the inside of state politics to know that the governor is through. They knew 1t as long ago as the closing of the legislature when the governor bucked over the traces and upset things generally along party lines. It was decided then and there for the governor, that he was through and now he admits 1t.
 But getting through himself doesn't apparently mean that he Is not going to try to have a finger in the pie nevertheless when it's about to be cut again. From remarks made by the governor at an outing of the Waterbury Scovill shops at Lake Compounce cn Saturday, the goyer- nor is evidently preparing few more barbs to stick into the repub1i- can hide and may somewhat upset the plans of the leaders that be to turn over the office of governor to when Pempleton gets through with 1t, to the@ lieutenant governor, Hiram Bingham, of New Haven and Yale. The governor was chief speaker at the outing and after telling how much he enjoyed 1t when he was a worker in the Seth Thomas Clock shops, some 35 years ago, he got out few political brass tacks and proceeded to nail them down Prompting the men present to take more interest in their state and know 1t thoroughly, he i'm formed them that his address was not a political one and he had finished with politics as far as running for any public office was concerned, but would take off his coat and work di1- igently for the right man, when he was put up for office, "but they have got to put up the right man," he added
 Of course the governor didn't say that Bingham isn't the right man but if past events are any criterion for the future 1t would not appear that he Is. The lieutenant governor had been cheek and jowl with the or ganizat1on through the legislature and some of the actions were not paIt1cu- larly pleasing to the governor. Then again the organization Haunted Bing-, ham right in the governors fare as soon as Templeton began to assert himself and this added nothing to the gaiety of the nations. The organiza- ton has since been continuously keeping Bingham's name before the public and forgetting there IS or ever was such a person as Charlie" Tenn p1eton so 1t isn't likely the governor is going to get overloaded in pushing Bingham into his own chair. The Bingham propaganda is being worked overtime, from electing him mem Der of the society of Samoa to dig

Former Secretary of War Board Writes Special Article on Eff feet of Unions Ven ture.

Washington, thaig. 3.-In a special article written for Universal Service, w.

 The widespread establishment of banks by labor organizations during the past two years has been very significant Already I2 banking insti- tutions are in successful operation and 10 more are in process of being organized Evidently this is only the beginning of the movement, for 1t is reported that national, state and local organizations are intensely interest; and that a network of banks soon will be in operation throughout the country.

PHONE STRIKE IS LOST BECAUSE OF

Failure of Boston Operators tc Stand Together Causes Final

"The strike is offp'
 This message which was heraldesdl throughout the country this week told of how following a telephone strike stubbornly fought for four weeks had been finally lost, and that how nearly 4,ooo girls who hoped to better their conditions are now compelled to ap- ply for their old positions individual ly, instead of returning in a body.
 It was a hard pill to swallow for those 4,ooo girls who for more than four weeks had waged one of the best industrial battles ever conducted in the history of the trade union move ment, that is if one is to judge from the manner in which the strike was conducted, but they accepted the yer dict without finching, and look upon
