SCISSOR
BILL FAILS TO
HOLD AUDIENCE

Following arrests in Cicero a week
ago when two comrades were arrested
for speaking on the streets and sub
sequently discharged, another meet
ing was held on the corner of 49 ct.
and IA st. Thursday night There
was big crowd Comrade Andolius
spoke and was followed by Comrade
F. G. Biedenkapp who had continued
half hour or so when he discovered
he had competition.
Across the streets an aspiring
young soap-boxer arose. He said he
was god-fearing man who was en-
ployed by the American Express
company. He said he loved his coun-
try and his work "Those people
across the street are Bolsheviks" he
shouted, And do you know what?
So per cent of all Bolsheviks are moth
ing but loafers and the other per
cent are millionaires."
The scissor-bill had a loud voice.
For a while he attracted the crowd.
But when the audience discovered he
was a nut, and that didn't take long,
it decided to come back to hear Bic
denkapp talk sense.
The freak was put up on the corner
to attempt to break up the regular
Communist meeting by the bosses and
churchmen of Cicero who could not
get the police to stick to their job.
The trick didn't work

BUILDING STRIKE If
USE OF GRANITE FROM
SCAB TOWNS CONTINUES

The Granite Cutters international
Union Association of America has
warned Chicago architects and
builders that if they continue to
use granite from Cold Springs and
st. Cloud Minnesota, a strike on
construction work will follow.
The granite quarries located in
these two towns, which supply most
OF the granite used in this city, are
unfair to organized labor. The let
ter sent out by the union is sianed
by David D. Glib, president.

POSTAL WORKERS
THREATENED With
new WAGE CUTS
While Big Business Gets
Low Rates

WASHINGTON, d. c. July 26.-
Under cover of a congressional com
mittee and official department report
New-Morgan conspiracy is being
Matched against the postal workers
1t is just a bare seven months since
these workers received a raise, pro
missed them for the last seven years
and a scant four months since post
age rates were increased to meet this
raise in wages
Already Postmaster General New
himself a publisher, is voicing the
cry Of the publishing and maiI-order
house magnates that 'the post-ofice
budget is failure" and that some
thing must be done about it."
Hold Hearings In Capitol.
+ A joint congressional committee un.
der Senator Moses of Vermont is now
holding hearings in the Capital on
this matter.
Called as its first witness before this
committee. Mr.. New gave testimony
based on a report that he himself cha
racterized as "a merest guess" He
stated that only from 2S to 30 million
dollars will acrue from the increase
in postal rates The workers increase
in wages costs the government an ad-
ditional 6S million. A deficit of ap-
proximately 40 million may therefore
be expected.
This deficit must be wiped out at
the expense of the postal workers,
insisted and urged the representative
of the U. S. chamber of commerce, the
executive committee OF Wall Street at
Washington.
Wage Cutting Working Force.
Thru its postal service committee.
Lucius Teatir, Col. A. B. Barber. and
F. j. Gross, it urged the committee
to enforce greater efficiency in the
postal service as to be able to cut .
down a large portion of the working
force, thus wiping out the deficit.
They were strongly opposed TO any
further increase in postal rates to
wipe out this deficit They even in
sisted upon a further reduction in
rates, claiming that this would result
in larger volume Of business.
All this is urged on top of the
'speed-up" system already instituted
by assistant postmaster general Stew
art Immediately after the wage raise
went into effect. A system was then
introduced Of counting and weighing
the clerks and carriers work-the
unit system-and of increasing the
carriers delivery routes and cutting
the time allowed for making such de-
livery so that even now one man ac-
tually does two mems work. Only
in this way is the post Office taking
care of its everincreasing volume of
business by a frightfully underman-
ned force.
Low Rates To Blame.
So far no spokesman has appeared
for the postal workers to point out
that the deficit is due, not TO an over
manned force or TO high wages-s17OO
per year, is their basic wage-but to
the riduculously low rates that the
publishers and mail order houses are
paying for the services the post Office
renders.

Germans Saving Money

Recent savings bank figures show
that the Germans are beginning to
save again and in the last year and
half the number of depositors has
grown rapidly. During the imitation
period no one in Germany thought Of
saving money. 1t was a policy Of
either "spend it before it is worth
less" or Of "get-rich-quick." Gradual
ly, however, with the stabilizing of the
mark value, the wisdom of economy
has begun to reassert itself. Govern

ter the battered flivvers have been pain
fully chugging their frost-bitten way
Under our very nose n new hegira is
going on, and unless we travel the high
way from the Canadian line TO San Diego
we can have no conception of the push
that is now on from south TO north, and
from north TO south.
These decrepit flivvers. loaded with bed
ding and tents and children, are not vaca-
ton vehicles they come from the four cor
ners of the nation. The completion of the
coast-length highway has given them
opportunity to keep going II months IN
the year.
Father loads in the family and his kit
of tools and proceeds a hundred miles.
There he finds job for two weeks. That
job done, he pushes on another hundred
miles, and keeps pushing until he finds
regular employment.
Some do not seek regular employment;
some make business of starting with the
orange crop in the South and ending up
in the Northwest apple and pear orchards.
After the apple picking season closed at
Hood River last fall procession of Cali
fornia cars passed down the Columbia
highway for days; cars that had worked
north following the fruit seasons, and that
now were headed south to start over again.
The next few years will see a remark
able era along this Coast highway, where
for close to 1000 miles lies an all-year
boulevard, the only one in the world open
TO all who may come. There will be n
merging of populations, shifting of work.

But we at least agree to end the burdensome so

are continued-and that is likely TO be long the
