Proletarian Gets Job
With 'Redeeming Army

what the hell have you been doin'
for two long hours, coming back with
lousy thirty-six cents?" This was
the way a go-getting collection SER
geant of the "redeeming army" (of
the lord) greeted a worker who cover
ed two blocks rafting a can and i'm
ploring the passerby to come across
for the greater honor and glory of god
and for the good of his creatures.
1t happened this way 4 worker
who noticed determination on the
skinny covering ofhis belly, to move
perceptibly towards his back bone,
form of amalgamRtion to which the
particular worker was not committed,
wandered down the slave market,
allies Madison Street between Halsted
and the Canal, docking right and left
at the legends that told of men want
ed for various jobs from singing hash
to driving mules.
The worker was out of work, not
uncommon condition for worker in
rich capitalist country And when
potential wage, slave saw an invi-
sation on the premises of the, North
Western Labor Agency at 625 West
Madison Street, to come in and pick
his job, things began to brighten up
little and his belt decided to main
tain the status quo ante bellum at
least for the time being The work
less slave smelled garlic, pork chops
and onions.
Fancy the joy of this proletarian
when he was offered a situation, not
dirty job mind you A position with
a drawing account and a fat commits
sion, was handed to him for the paltry
sum of two bucks. And fearing that
our wage slave might find the occupa-
ton monotonous he was given COM
mission as drummer in the redeem
ing army"
Was Handed a Can
Our friend repaired to Mr. Evans
with headquarters at 1917 Ogden Ave.
There was no lord" around there, in
fact nobody who looked even as en-
lightened as William jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Evans instructed the job hunter
to betake himself to the headquarters
of the "redeeming army" He was
given a tambourine and instructed to
knock at doors and solicit funds.
Being accustomed to performing USE
full labor our friend was anything but
successful at this capitalist sport of
getting something for nothing. The
SO pennies in his can after covering
, two blocks convinced the hero Of this
story that he was not destined for the
ministry.
Lord How That Man Could Prayll
He decided to, return to his captain
and when the latter looked into the
pot and saw the scanty collection his
rage was terrible. He sYore by the
living, dead and crucified Jesus that
he never had the misfortune to hire
such worthless panhandler You
are not worth your weight in dung"
he said. "IfoI tied that can to a yell
low dogs tail and let him run down
Green street, the buns would at least
fill it with tobacco juice if nothing
else. Get to hell out Of here"
The indignant worker threw his can
and all that was in it at the lords
sergeant and had good mind to kick
hell out of him in the bargain. On
second Thought however, he remem-
bered his dignity and decided to re-
turn to the agency NGere he was CIV
en- the situation" and demand the
return of his fee Of two dollars. After
considerable redtape he got back his
two dollars.

WHEAT FAR BELOW
LAST WEEKS MARK
81 Per Bushel Becomes
Memory as May Delivery
Shoots Down to S1.85.
By the Associated Press.

ID! tne Assoclhte0 fress.
CHICAGO, February Two dollar
a-bushel wheat has become a memory
this week, the market giving way
under hurried selling day after day.
largely on the part of belated buy
ers. From s2.05s busheI last
week, the price of the May delivery
shot downward to s1S5 for lack Of
new purchasers in the face of big
shipments to Europe from the South
ern hemisphere and the fiattening out
of European demand for wheat from
the United States. Compared with a
week ago, wheat this morning showed
lis to 17Ss loss, with corn / cent
to 1 R down; oats, 9s to 3ts off, and
provisions ranging from 10 cents de-
cline to 35 cents gain.
High Margins Factor.
Curtailment of buying power was
more or less associated with high
margin required from would-be trad
ers unable or unwilling to put up col
lateral that in some cases amounted
to as much IS 40 cents a bushel.
Washington advices telling of steps
toward a Federal investigation of the
recent steep advance of wheat values
did a good deal also to discourage
new buying and to give impetus to
nedNy UOlH iO4uci VI
wheat and from traders who had the
foresight and money and nerve to act
on indications that the market would
undergo a sharp setback.
Steady Inflow Of Wheat.
Unabated inflow of wheat at do
mestic primary centers tended fur
ther to put a strain on the market and
to weaken the confidence of pro-
moters of higher prices. The strain
was increased also by complaints
that there was lack of storage room,
this being the time of year when
much elevator space otherwise avail
able has been taken for corn and oats.
Relative frmness of corn and oats
was owing in a measure to specu-
lative purchases feasible through
less severe margins than was de-
manded for wheat
Provisions were chiefly governed
by the action of corn and hog values.

One of the best signs, the review
says, is the absence of speculative
eXcesses in trade there being a
strongly marked disposition to avoid
over extension of commitments and
to prevent a too rapid rise of prices
Expansion of demand in recent
months has brought about a sharp
recovery in manufacturing activity
but the buying has been based chief
ly on actual needs, and in most cases
a close balance between production

Reports of better earnings by cor

operations and the more profitable

naturally increase the public pur-
chasing power and strengthen the
