tonians, while having the same lib
eral assortment of food they always
have at this time of the year, pay
tho prices prevailing 365 days ago.
The unusual condition of the mark IT
in New York. it was explained, is
due to a flood of food shipments to
that city.
A survey in Center Market yester-
day in cooperation with the Depart
ment Of Agriculture revealed that
prices for meats. fruits and vcge-
tables have not materially advanced
or declined, generally speaking, and
indicated there will be no radical
change in the general line of staple
commodities in the near future.
Vegetable Price List.
Following were approximate prices
of vegetables in Center Market yes
terday and the prices they Brought
this time last year: New potatoes, s
cents pound; cents last year. Cal
ifornia oranges, large, 60 to 65 cents
dozen; same last year. Florida or
anges, 60 cents dozen; 65 to rs last
year. Cantaloupes, 12h cents: last
year, 10 to 20 cents apiece. Grape
fruit, very large, 10 to 121L cents
both this and last year. String beans.
Is cents pound; same last year. Cab
base, cents; same last year Lem
onS, 25 to 80; 50 last year. Iceberg
lettuce, homegrown, extra large. Is
TO 20 cents; same last year Boston
type lettuce, 10 to Is cents: same last
year. Peaches, large, four-quart bas-
ket 65 cents; last year. 75 to 80.
The foregoing are the basic fruits
and vegetables Straw berries and
similar short-lived fruits and vege-
tables fluctuate according to supply
and demand more rapidly than the
other type. Strawberries yesterday
were selling for 20 cents a quart. or
considerably higher than Tuesday,
when the market was swamped.

No Substitute for Union
BY EDWARD HEATING.
Editor of Labor
There is no substitute for the labor union.

There Is no substitute for the labor union
have been in the labor movement for thirty years
and have done frightfu lot of talking and writing in
that time. But in and out have persisteny en-
deaVofed to get across TO my fellow workers the idea
pressed IN my opening sentence
There Is no substitute for the union
Is the workers Nerdun If the union falls the labor
movement will be destroyed
Therefore our first thought should be, preserve the
union"
But that devotion should not prevent us using other
weapons
Chief among those weapons is education The work
erS must know what is going in the world rs well
what has gone in the world knowledge of what has
gone may enable to deal effectively with what is go
ing on.
How is this knowledge to be conveyed to the work
erS? To my mind there is only one way
Labor must have its preSs-owned by labor, con-
trolled by labor edited by labor subject to outside
influence.
Political action is another great weapon. Many Of
labors battles in the future will be decided at the ballot
box Thousands of died. tens of thousands roted in
prison cells countless thousands suffered in body and
mind in order that the workers of today might have the
ballot We canont afford to be careless in the of
legacy purchased at such tremendous sacrifice.
In politics the workers must be Independent. They
must not the party collar They must support men
and measures and refuse to become camp followers
of political bosses.
We justified in facing the future with confidence
God has been very good to heworkers of America No
enemy can vanqush if we only true to ourselves

Comment and Criticism

Wyoming, Russia, Persia--they all
look alike to Oil Hunters. Harry Sin
clair, with whom Senate committee
has been having some discussion. Is
now reported TO have got a 50-yeaf
oil concession covering five provinces
in northern Persia.
Yes. brethren, slowly but surely,
the world is becoming Americanizedl
But there will be no senate commit
tee to bother Mr.. Sinclair about Per
sia, as there Is to bother him about
Wyoming, where Teapot Dome still
sizzles uneomfortably.
Old wooden buildings, long known
to be unsafe. take another toll Of
lives. Fifteen persons die in a fire
which destroys a dormitory at state
hospital for the insane, at Dunning,
Ill.
Such perils exist all over the nation.
New York State recently voted for a
big bond issue to improve and rebuild
many of its state institutions. II is
high time other States followed suit.
Enlightened public opinion says that
neither the nation nor the state has
the right to expose its wards to the
risk Of horrible death by fire.
Among the fool cartoons which often
disgrace our newspapers the worst Is
the cartoon which depicts building
trades workers as second only to John
d. Rockefeller in point of wealth.
They are shown by the alleged comic
artists as living in marble mansions,
bathing in solid gold bathtubs and din
ing with buffers at their elbows.
One of the worst efforts in this line
was recently sent out to hundreds of
newspapers by the Press Publishing
Company of New York, which pub
fishes the New York World. The
cartoon showed the young son Of a
plasterer awakening Christmas morn
ing to find the family butler standing
at his bedside, wishing him Merry
Christmas on behalf Of the family
and outlining the days schedule,
which began with breakfast in bed!
Such cartoons seem deliberately de
signed to make the public believe that
members of the organized building
trades lead the life of the idle rich
They present a totally mendacious
and entirely misleading picture. which
organized labor should be quic to re-
sent. Workers in the building trades
are not getting rich, as they them
selves know only too we'll. Whenever
a fool cartoon or connie" such as the
one Just mentioned, appears. the edi-
tor Of the offending paper should be
told Just what union men think Of the
picture

THE REASONS FOR ASSUMING
CONTROL,

When an operative controls a local
union it is for the purpose of bene-
fitting the "Client," the following re-
port shows the results:
Kansas City, Mo-, April 25, 1920.
Case 324.
Sir:
was at the temple at $3.50 A. NJ.
this morning. As chairman of the
wage scale committee we opened for
business at 10 A. NJ, and the amount
of the raise that some of them put
down would make you laugh. You
would think they was a lot of plumb
ers. The lowest raise asked is soc
per hour, but at the next meeting |
think | will lower il by more than
half, and | know that the Information
al will lower il again and then the
grain dealers will lower il so il will
be about where il was or should be.
In the afternoon | attended the CEN
trail trades union meeting and they
are revising the constitution; some
are trying to do away with Sara
Green's job as she has nothing to
show for her $25 per week. j. T..
Smith resigned and Charlie Nelson
was elected in his place. | had my
party vote for Nelson as Mallet is a
radical. The striking yard and switch
men asked for Endorsement but it
was turned down until it is further
investigated. Coco Cola was put on
the unfair list and the Baltimore
Hotel, our friend Helgisen is looking
after the hotel business.
! am yours respectfully,
No. 20.
Evidently the policy has been
changed. The operatives were acting
as business agents of the locals. The
letter written to +. l.. Allen is self
explanatory and is as follows;
March 5, 1920.
Mr.. F. l.. Allen,
No. 1927 Paseo,
Kansas City, Mo.
Dear Sir:
We notice in your report of the End
inst, that Leskere and Stanley were
somewhat opposed to the control of
Devlin, the business agent.
We, you understand, wish to see
Devlin retained in his position OF
business agent, as We feel that he rs
a very square Union man and II is
much better for us TO have him IN,
than il would be some crook, which Is
the reason we are backing Deylin.
Kindly do not neglect to inform US
of any sayings or move that Loskere
or Stanley may make against Devlln.
Yours very truly,
THE MARSHALL SERVICE.

DIRECT ACTION AND SAB
BOTAGE.

Who is violent?
That the operative is plying his
trade with impunity is best shown by
the report of No. % under date OF
May 2, 1921, to his chief, Mr.. Mar

day and met Geo. Hajdn who lives at

ing about the communist party and ne
is a member of Local No. 90, also /,
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-01-11

Mcfarland is of the opinion. as are
all the other men. that the Business
Agent Is receiving too much money
tor his pay, which is $50 per week
and expenses, and We suggest 10 you
that, when you get chance, Won
might advise the men that YOU think
that the same pay that they are get
ting is plenty tor the Business Agent,
and that you would be mighty glad TO
have that job at $50 per week, as
that would be easy moneyn-S30
per week with nothing to do.
Think this over and see if it is not
a good line of talk.
Yours very truly,
THE MARSHALL SERVICE.
