Labor believes in reasonable econ
omy. But labor's aim is to earn
more, to spend more and save more.
If new economists are needed, the
workers do not want them through
petty sacrifices by consumers but
through economies in the manage
ment of industry.
Organized labor win take no part
in propaganda for parisimony, which
is really what much of the economy
propaganda should be called. Mem
bers of organized labor will increase
their savings only as they increase
their earnings and not at the expense
of their personal comfort and at the
cost Of the prosperity of the country.
They do not propose to be fooled by

ters, as they know that nothing could

HOW UNCLE SAM SOLVES

A letter, postcard, parcel, or news
paper, entering the mails is simply
a piece of mail.
If, because Of inadequate or incor-
rect address, and, in the case Of the
package-improper Wrapping a
piece of mail must be taken out Of
the regular postal machinery for "di-
rectory service" or Hospital service"
it becomes Mike.
If the postal sleuths are able to
correct the address, or return to send
er for better one, it again becomes
a piece Of mail-though delayed
mail" is the better sobriquet.
If, after an exhaustive effort, the
postal detective" must give up the
puzzle, and there is no return adj
dress, the piece of mail is consigned
to the Dead Letter Office, where it
again changes it's name to dead let
ter or dead parcel, as the case may
be.
Its period of existence as a Mike
is the most expensive one. It de-
mands special attention from the

UNCLE SAM RESPECTS
PRIVACY OF YOUR NAL

There is something Of sacredness
about the contents of letter. The
writer often reveals more of him
self on the written page than he
would in direct conversation. This
revelation, of course, is designed only
for the eyes of the correspondent.
In this country a wholesome re-
spect has been built up for the sane
ticy of letter but it is not so re-
spected in many other countries where
the opening and reading of sealed
mail becomes, at times, so prevalent
that the practice has earned the APP
relation cracking seals"
The average American would be
filed with wrath and the timid soul
would shrink with horror at the
thought of a third person, and a
stranger at that, reading his per
sonal correspondence"
Yet, that is exactly what happens
to 21,00O,OO0 letters a year and win
continue so long as letter writers fail
to put return addresses on their en-
Vei0peS.
When letter, without a return adj
dress, can not be delivered for any
reason, it is sent, after certain time,
to the Dead Letter Office.
There it is opened and read-not
for the possible scandal it may con-
tain-but with view to finding some
clue which win enable forwarding on
to the addressee or returning to the
sender.
Out of every five letters received at
the Dead Letter Office such q clue
is found in one and it is sent merrily
on it's delayed way to one or the other
Of the two persons most interested in
it's disposition. The other four are
destroyed.
Every person knows his own ad-
dress and if he would put it on the
envelope, the contents would remain
inviolate and the letter would be re
turned with notice of non-delivery.

BY The Way

The germ of doubt is beginning to
lodge in the minds of those business
men who have been taking on blind
faith everything President Coolidge
has been saying. They are wondering
If all of "CaPs" verbs are inspired
wisdom.
Of course, as long as the President
talked economy in government. BUSH
ness was all for the President. It
foresaw a possible reduction of tax
alton and whooped for joy at the
Presidents economy talk. Put when
his much-lauded policy of economy
began to have a retarding effect on
general buying, business began to
show signs of uneasiness.
Now, it is reported, the Presidents
economy talk is being misinterpreted,
with the result that in some sections
people are buying only absolute ne
cessities. Retail business men, ac-
cording to the New York Times do
not hesitate to say there has been a
decrease in buying and that a buyers
strike, similar to that which existed
after the war, is making it's appear
ance.
In all this there is food for thought
If buyers strike did not threaten
unemployment, and suffering, it
would be difficult to repress a smile at
the consequences of accepting with
out question the Presidents advice
on economy.
Here the Presidents business sup
porters have been swallowing every
thing he said, without even giving it
the mental ''once-over" and now they
are being stungl It would be COM
zeal if it did not at the same time
smack so strongly of the tragic.
One of the morals that can be
drawn from the present situation is
that it doesn't always pay to accept
on faith the words of others, not
even if they do come from President
Coolidge. Every statement coming
from a public man should be analyz-
ed to determine the proportion of wis
dom, if any, that it contains. An
effort should be made to determine if
the public man is merely talking or
if there is really thought behind his
words. Such course of action on the
part of the public would encourage
thought by our so-called leaders and
tend to put men and women of real
ability and understanding in high gov
eminent offices.

The forms of capitalism are being
restored. Mr.. Hearst thinks. Bus
mess and employment by private in
dividuals are being restored. Always
the apoligists for the Soviets seek to
convey the idea that at last the So
viets are getting to be like other peo-
pie.
AS If all that made some difference
The dictatorship is like a chameleon
and it boasts of that fact. It changes
its color to suit the tree it has been
forced onto; it changes its face to
suit the play.
The outer forms of work and bust
ness, while important to the Russian
victims, are of little Importance to
the world where recognition is con-
cerned. Sovietism is based on de-
ceit of other peoples, on the idea that
the end justifies the means, on doing
anything that may uphold and per-
petuate the dictatorship and under
mine the institutions and the govern
ments of other countries.
It takes a long time to bring about
general understanding of this basic
fact about sovietism. Some, inciud-
ing Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Borah, either
never will understand it, or else they
have always understood it and want
that sort of thing.

Labor's idea of economy is the OPP
posite of that attributed to President
Coolidge, who is almost represented
as opening his pocket book so seldom
for personal purchases that moths
find it a favOrite resting place.
The workers do not believe they are
spending too much for their suits,
hats and household furnishings. They
do not have the money to spend ex-
travagantly. They believe that bet
ter wages, especially in the most un-
derpaid Industries, win increase the
demand for consumers goods. Better
wages, they believe, win lead to more
instead Of less employment and thus
increase the ability Of the consuming
public to buy.

So Trotsky is back in Moscow and
everything is to be all right. The
Soviets are to swing toward conser-
vatism and there is nothing to be
afraid of any more. Those who have
opposed recognition of the Soviets
may now calm their fears and with
draw their objections.
Mr.. Hearst has sounded the key
note and doubtless Mr.. Borah will fan
in with the idea most heartily.
But there are still some things to
examine. Who is Trotsky? Why,
ne is the man who stood at the right
hand OF Lenine when the Soviet die,
tatorship was established, when II
was at its very bloodiest, when it was
shouting world revolution the Ioudest
when the Red army was the biggest
army in the world, when all of the
various propaganda and plotting in
ternationals were formed. Whatever
Trotsky's place in the Soviet scheme
Of things may now be, he is the same
4AOIskyD essentially.
But there is something. more i'm.
portant than that. The Soviets shape
their course to suit requirements
They put forward the bluff that they
think win work best.
The Soviet dictatorship is today a.
much dictatorship as ever. NOTHING
in that particular has changed. MOI
VIII 1t change until there is a new
form of government in Russia.
What the dictatorship does it car
undo. This has been proved by 1
dozen changes of policy, back anC
forth. Government by edict is, in
