MORE PROTECTION
FOR LABOR SPY

Chicago.-The meat barons have
launched their 'steenth attempt to di-
vide the workers in this industry. The
latest venture is called the United
stock yards packing house workers
of America" Its platform consists of
the usual generalities, and permits the
labor spy and company detective to
operate with less danger of exposure.
I'm their efforts to divide the work
ers, labor spies in the packing indus
try have left nothing undone," says
the editor of the Butcher Workmen.
"These spies have resorted to every
strategem within and without the law
They have encouraged dual organiza-
tions, vilifed union officials and dis
counted the organizations work.
Back in April, 1921, Secretary
Treasurer Lane dragged the labor spy
into the limelight, when the activity
of this mercenary agent of the meat
packers was revealed"
Espionage III industry, among the
gravest perils threatening organized
labor, wended its way with serpentine
guile toward the very heart of labor
organizations"

BREAK RECORDS in
STEEL PROFITS

New York.-In the first three
months of this year the steel trust
reports a net profit of more than
$50,0O0,OO0. This is the largest net
of any peace-time quarter in the
trusts history. In March of this year
profits totaled S19,065,475. This is at
the rate of more than $57,000,000 for
the quarter. These profits are after
the trust set aside $13,274,972 for de-
probation.
This latest report is the clearest
refutation of the judgment of trust
officials who predicted disaster to this
industry if the long work day were
abandoned.
Instead, the steel trust is enjoying
most prosperous times. The same
condition exists in other steel corpor-
ations. The Bethlehem steel corpora.
ton disposed of $30,000,000 six pei
cent gold bonds last week without
placing them on the market. This
company is the largest of the So
called Independents and controls the
Lackawanna, the Midvale and Cam
bria steel companies.

WHAT CONGRESS DID
And Didn't Do; Sessions
High Spots

Washington-The recently djourn-
ed congress passed the restrictive i'm
migration act and the federal child
labor amendment. The soldiers
compensation bill was passed over the
presidents veto. A wage increase of
$60,000,000 for postal employees was
vetoed by the president on the ground
of government economy" The Mel
Ion tax bill, favorite administration
measure, was defeated All farm
legislation was ignored, as was the
Howell -Barkley bill, which would re-
peal the labor sections of the trans
portation act and set up mediation
and conciliation methods.
The session was marked by party
irregularity. Party discipline was de-
stroyed, and there was friction with
the executive branch.
Investigations and probes brought
much feeling. Many irregularities
were exposed and three cabinet Off
cials resigned. Early in the session
the house progressive forces formed a
coalition and iberalized the rules.
This was blow to standpatism and
made defeat of the Mellon tax bill
possible. In the senate, turmoil was
continuous. The progressives con-
trolled on many occasions. They took
the tax question out of the hands of
the administration party and forced a
compromise.
An appropriation bill that. carried
wage grants to thousands Of federal
field employees failed to pass in the
closing hours. These workers also
lose their S240 annual bonus. The
Federation of Federal Employees esti-
mates the workers will lose $25, 5,000,-
000 Senator Smoot is blamed by the
union for the hardships that will
ensue

NUTS
Are Common in Business
Life, Declares Shirley

Chicago.-Unbalanc minds, all
the way from slightly disturbed men
tality to the borderline of insanity,
are more prevalent in business life
than ever has been known previously,
declared w. R. Shirley, president Of
the national fraternal congress, in an
address here.
almost every person who has been
in big business Offices" said Mr.. Shir-
lev, shas come in contact with indi-
viduals whose habits show to train
ed psyschiatrist that they were on
the verge of serious neurotic condi-
tionS
every one knows the man with the
household complex He carries tidi-
ness and system to the point OF
mania. The cleanliness obsession that
sends one to wash the hands 20 times
in a forenoon is borderline ten
dency. Biting the nails, biting the
inside of the cheek, making meaning
leess sketches on paper, excessive
conscientiousness about unimportan1
details are signals that the nerves
are out of balance.
High strung workers of every class
are periled by this psychoneurosis
which is the result of high pressure
life and relentless competition"

Something to
Think 4bOuf
RUINOUS WEALTH
b. r 4. W/LKER

DARADOxICAL as 1t may seem at
- first blush, the declaration made
SO frequently by psychologists and
economists that but few people can
bear prosperity, is nevertheless true.
"When I come into the fortune which
is to be mine on the day Of my ma
jority," says the youth who is looking
forward to what he considers is to be
the crowning event Of his life, II shall
show my set how a gentleman Of
wealth and fine tastes should live and
enjoy himself"
So when the riches come In showers
and floods, the prodigal youngster
starts off at rapid pace on care
free career which In an incredibly
short time ends in broken manhood
and humiliating disaster.
It is the story which is SO often told
Of the sowing of wild oats and the
reaping Of tares and dishonor-of the
selling of a soul for rag and bone.
The handling of large properties and
great sums Of money by the inexperi-
enced, is usually fraught with just
such peril.
And in quite the same manner the
newly rich, forgetful Of their limited
means of the past, start of In their
new adventure with brazen blare Of
trumpets.
1t Is their first taste Of the golden
feast, and they have resolved to gorge
themselves to repletion.
In a dozen years or SO, with moth
ing to show for their folly except q
lot of worthless geegaws and bur-
densome load Of experience, they are
glad to get back In the homely little
corner Of the staid old world which
they SO grandiloquently abandoned.
The scene of their defeat they would
gladly close to their minds eye. but
they cannot do so. The happiness
which was theirs In the simple life is
gone.
Their substantial friends In the bare
days are no more.
Instead Of triumph, the wealth they
quickly got and wantonly spent
brought them nothing but derision anc
sorrow.
The same poor sort Of humans are
everywhere about US, gazing with en-
| vious, greedy eyes upon the rich. Otter
cowed by fear and burdened with can
cerous care. And all the while these
hapless creatures seem unaware tha
hard work and high thinking gtvt
peace and pleasure that wealth canno
buyi

JUICY PROFITS CON-
TINUE

New York.-Juicy profits continue
to be reported by large corporations,
while hints are dropped that wage
cuts may be necessary to Stimulate
business" These profit reports are
net-after interest, taxes and other
charges have been met.
For the first three months of the
present year the Underwood Type
writer Company reports a net of
$841,929. In the same period the Tim
ken Roller Bearing Company reports
$1,s26,77S.
The Southern Pacific railroad re-
ports profits of $44,552,4s2 last year
This compares with $32,600,l50 in
1922.
1t is estimated that the 1923 report
of the Glen Alden Coal Company will
show a clear profit of more than $l0,-
100000 after charges have been met

HEARST PAPER
STRUCK

Seattle.-After a five-months' fail
ure to negotiate wage scale, print
ers employed on Hearst's POST
Intelligencer, published in this city,
suspended work. Organized stereo~
typers and mailers were locked out
because they refused to handle struck
work.
In statement issued by the three
unions, it was declared that the print
ers were compelled to strike to Sc
cure the same wage rate and work
conditions from the P-I. that all other
Seattle newspapers agreed to.
Strike action was taken, the state
ment continues, "after repeated eff
forts on the part of the P.-I. to OBJ

otypers) at less wages, longers hours

THE MOOD
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

g OMETIME, when we're Ia the MOOD
In some day to come,
We shall break our solitude,
We who are not dumb
When the mood the moment brings
On some quiet day
You and / shall say the things
That we have to say.
Now we part and now we meet
Yet we seem to wait,
Leaving something incomplete,
Inarticulate
There are dreams we long to share,
Dreamers / and you,
There are wounds we long to bare,
But we never do.
But some hour will set us free,
When. we never know;
But some moment suddenly
Hearts will overflow.
For the thirsty twill be drink,
For the hungry food
Maybe sooner than we think
We shall feel The Mood

WAGE INCREASE
For p. O. Employees Vetoed
By Coolidge; Says "Ex-
travagance Must Stop"
However, the President
Doesn't Suggest Cut in
Own Pay

Washington.-A wage increase OF
$500 year to postal employees has
been vetoed by President Coolidge,
who declared in his message of dis
approval that government extrava>
gance must stop"
The veto is crushing blow to these
workers, who see their hard-fought
victory wrenched from their grasp in
the closing minutes of congress, when
it was too late to pass the bill over
the veto.
The postal employees campaign for
a living wage enlisted sympathy and
support from the general public. Con-
gress passed the wage increase al
most unanimously. The workers sue
cessful plea for popular support was
evidently distasteful to the chief ex-
ecutivve, who said:
ut may be that some adjustments
would be justified, but an organized
effort by great body of public en-
ployes to secure an indiscriminate in
crease in compensation should have
the most searching scrutiny"
Postmaster General New opposed
the postal employees, and on more
than one occasion let it be known that
he was not in sympathy with the wage
proposals, though he favored some in
crease in few of the larger cities.
AT the present time postal EN-
ployes' wages is 81, 400 on entrance
At the fifth year the maximum is
$500. Congress advanced this to
$500 and S2,100, but the president
declares: Government extravaganza
must stop"
The postal employees showed that
their production has been speeded up
and on the basis of work done they
are paid lower rate than ever be-
fore. The president said wage in
creases must come out of increased
postage.
"The time has arrived to consider
putting the postal service on a sounC
business basis, SO far as expenditure!
and revenues are concerned" he said
1T is apparent that the matter of in
creasing the salaries of postal EN-
ployes should be considered in con
nection with the ways and mean
whereby the postal revenues may b.
correspondingly increased, not apar
therefrom
The president intimates that h
would consider increasing the wage 0
postal employees in large cities, wher
vacancies are not being filled becaus
of the low wage. This is Postmaste
General News plan.
In letter to the president urgin
the wage increase, A. f. of L. Secre
tary Frank Morrison said:
"You recognize that these workers
by the nature of their employment
must rely upon congressional legisla
tive action for fair and just treat
ment They have conducted thei
wage campaign in an orderly fashio
that has met the approval of tn
public Now that congress has spoke
SO impressivley in their favor, ther
is compelling reason for executiv
approval"

ENAMEL WORKERS STRIKE

Chattanooga, Tenn. Enamel work

responsible for the defects.

BREAD SUPPLY
May Be Controlled By Trust
Editors Warn Retail
Bakers :.

Louisville, Ky.-Wall street would
control the nations bread supply
through ownership of the retail bak
ing business, according to Alfred
Klopfer, editor of Bakers Weekly,
before the convention of the Retail
Bakers Association Mr.. Klopfer told
the retailers that their business may
me the next that Wall street will take
over. The editor assured his audience
this is very possible, and told Of his
experience with representatives OF a
Wall street syndicate who have sur
veyed the situation.
The retailers were reminded that
practically every retail tobacco dealer
ha sheen drive nout of business, and
Wall street is now headed toward con-
troll of the candy business.
The plan to control the bakery trade
would include the establishment of a
central baking plant in each city from
coast to coast.
Chicago.-The small retail baker
may be driven out of business by Wall
street as his reward for opposing
organized labor, intimates Charles F
Hohmann, editor of the Bakers Jour.
nal.
That the retailers are alarmed over
the outlook is indicated by discussions
at the recent Louisville convention OF
the Retail Bakers Association.
Editor Hohmann says that such al
attack would be impossible if the re
tailers had developed sympathy fol
the struggles Of the workers, and hac
worked with the Bakers Union il
undermining their plants and install
ing hygienic methods.
