After three years of concentrated
effort the 100000 postal employees
are to have an increase in salaries
of about 1920 each per year, involv-
ing a total of about $6S,0OO,0 900 to
the government pay roll. The bill
signed by the President makes the
increase effective at once, with back
pay from January 1 under the new
scale. The ley postal rates will
yield about $50, 100000 and the
other $4,000, 900 will be added to
the deficit. which now amounts to
about $5O,OOO.OO0 per year

Official Washington is still talking about the action of
Vice-President Dawes when he informed members of the senate
that the old-fashioned method of flibustering should be elm
mated in order that business might be transacted with expedi-
ency in the upper halls of congress. The Vice-President held
that the procedure in force for many years was a detriment to
the public good and that steps should be taken to prevent any
senator, or group of senator's, flibustering, which is the term
used in describing the talking of a bill to death. 1t will be re-
called that, during the first session of congress just passed, a
senator started a fibuster which resulted in the defeat of an
appropriation bill. 1t is to prevent such a condition that the
Vice-President desires to correct.

On reading President Coolidge's
inaugural address one cannot help
but eel that this nation has a Won
derful executive. A man who is abb
solutely fearless in what he thinks
is right, and a man who prays to
God for aid and guidance in all his
doings. Such a man as Calvin
Coolidge should be the greatest of
inspiration to the American people
at this time.

President Coolidge, in signing the deficiency bill, which car
ried with it an increase in pay for representatives and senators,
did so because he realized the fact that the law gives the con-
stitutional right to members of congress to fix their own salaries;
While to thousands of persons throughout the land a salary of
$4,000 a year appears to be a large sum, yet when the expenses
of a member of the house or senate are taken into consideration,
together with the extremely high cost of living in Washington,
it will be apparent to everyone that $4,000 a year will not
enable any congressman to become wealthy, for the expenses of
living in Washington are far higher than they are in any other
part of the United States.

From a political standpoint for all your
life you cannot understand that each and
every man with tie necessary literary
qualifications etc. has a inaIienable right
to the ballot. In this age, under this
free flag, you still believe that the few
should govern, think and exploit the
many without their consent.
From a commercial standpoint you
seem not to realize that the local conflict
is between two powerful interests. Not
you and me. Not our merchants and the
plain people: but between q strong syn.
dictate that is fighting to control our com
mercial activities because Of long stand

that claims such a privilege because of

Declare a Number of Stores
Unfair to Their Union

Retail Grocery Clerks Union No.
158 held largely attended meeting
at the labor temple last Friday night.
A committee from the Retail Grocers'
Association addressed the meeting,

cooperation. Their talk was appre-
ciated by all present, and a committee

GERS meeting Wednesday night.

dent and general organizer of the
Clerks international Association, was
also present and addressed the meet
ing. He reported that all efforts to
secure conference with officials of
the Kroger Grocery and Baking Com
pany and the A. & P. stores failed.
The purpose of a conference was to
adjust differences of grievances exist
ing between the two parties.
After Mr.. Schulte's report the
clerks declared both concerns unfair
to their union. They ask that all
union men ana friends act accordingly.
The campaign "To look for the clerk
wearing monthly paid-up button" is
bringing good results. The color of
the button for this month is yellow.
At the last meeting of Trades Coun-
ell the grievances Of the clerks was
brought before the delegates and it
was unanimously voted to support the
clerks in any action they might take.
The Logsdon grocery at 1709 Kahn
avenue failed to live up to the union
agreement, and this store is also
placed on the 1--WE do not patronize'
list. Several grocers will be waited
upon as their clerks are not affiliated
and in others where union clerks are
allowing themselves to become sus-
pended for non-payment of dues.

HUGH DALTON
EIGHTY Y-THREE
Honor Guest at Big Six
Diamond Jubilee

By international Labor News Service
New York big Six,"I
the largest local union of printers in
the world, celebrated its diamond
jubilee April 26, notables in public
life attending to pay tribute to one
of the most powerful labor unions in
the country.
Hugh Dalton, 83, past president of
Big 6, who is credited with holding
the first union card ever issued by the
International Typographical Union,
was honor guest. He was assisted to
the platform and there made a toast
ito grand old Big g." The veteran
was cheered by the hundreds attend
ing. The affair opened with toast
to Horace Greeley, the great editor
who was first president of Big 6 and
one of the first advocates of union
labor in America Horace Greeley,
Jr., his grandson, attended.
James M. Lynch, president of the
l. L. u, compared the lot of the print
er of rs years ago and the compositor
of today. Not many years ago print
ers received $12 to $24 week for an
1-hour day. The present working
time of "A hours week brings in an
average of from $50 to $50.
"There is no royal road to success
in life and there is no short road to
success in unionism," President Lynch
said. "You may we'll imagine the
progress we have made when l say
that we are paying $500 pensioners
SO week and that this year we will
pay 100000 in mortuary benefits and
$250,000 to support the Printers
Home"

American Federation of Labor, and
Frank Morrison, secretary-tr treasurer,

Every holier than thou individual who

Some people would perjure their souls
to make dollar in breaking down
our homes, and then think they had
done mighty fine thing if they
snitched on man who had little
wine in his kitchen. Their morals
are only dollar deep.
Every worker is interested in the
possessions Of the United States,
whether they be timber, oil or land.

how our courts safeguard the

steal those possessions. Just be-
cause, in 'my opinion" the legal
rights of the business man" has been
tramped upon, II will dismiss the in
dictment." And thus, dear Maud, day

law? Not Judas Iscariot, for he was
a good man compared to some of
those who have suffrage under the

The KALEIDOSCOPE
BY l. C. McCUMBER


The "ethics" Of the legal profes-
sion, supposedly, restrains many able
"barristers," "attorneys-at-law," and
lawyers" from using the columns Of
newspapers to advertise their wares.
It is then that we sit up and take
notice that those "ethics" fall by the
wayside when it comes to skulldug-
gerry and chicanery A firm of law
yers in New York city has evolved a
plan whereby the immigration law
can be beat by the payment. Of certain
sums of money. Uncle Sam will
spend thousands of dollars in an effort
to learn those lawyers manhood, and
when Uncle Sam concludes, the
chances are that some one will have
received slap on the wrist. Yes,
we have no ethics today. Call to-
morrow.
1t is given out that TOO Much
Johnson" of Wayne B. Wheeler and
booze fame, will try and show the
Bulgarians, Greeks, Slovakia, etc.,
etc., that-it is all wrong to think the
way he does. Those peoples are
never so happy as when they are
killing, burning and .pillaging. 1t
will be noted that "Too Much john
son" has left England, Canada, and
Russia severely alone since they have
told him and his hypocritical salary
suckers that they want no more of
their hypocrisy.
Several wealthy men, among them
a few millionaires, go to make up the
advisory committee of the republican
party of Hamilton county, Cincinnati,
Ohio, u. S. A. vociferously they bow
vowed that there could be no indi-
vidual party dereliction, or party
stultifying by individuals. The chief
of police, the service director, the
mayor-in fact all down the line are
made up Of republicans. Now that
scores of police have plead guilty to
grating it cannot be said that any
of those higher up knew anything
about what was going on, for they
were watching the monthly pay vouch-
er. Yes, party responsibility is a
rather web footed kiyoodle. He barks
like dog but Kisses like goose.
One of our governors was tried be-
fore a jury of his peers for using the
mails to defraud, found guilty and
sentenced to a term in Atlanta peni-
tentiary. Now it is reported that he
is the leader of convicts' Bible
class. Evidently he can handle the
situation, for his expectation Of the
Bible will show how the convicts can
60 and do likewise when they have
served their time.
