Labor Wants It's Share

NVT ORKERS want their share in the increase
LW in wealth expected from the development
of superpower and the continued improvement
OF production methods. Also they want more
leisure, as the time for doing their tasks is
shortened.
That in effect is the purport of the new
wage policy just adopted by the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor in convention at Atlantic CITY.
1t is al important and farsighted policy, with
which few will quarrel
Competent observers believe much new
wealth will be created in America in the years
just ahead through greater use of water power
and electricity, the elimination of waste. and
the further development of machinery It is
better that workers--which means most of is
should have an equitable part of this than that
most Of it should be concentrated in the hands
of the wealthy few.
President Green of the Federation had this
toNsay of labor's declaration, cit is a position
Tar IN advance Of any position we have taken
before. We are at the infancy of giant power.
A new condition is here and we must meet
it,
The declaration itself held that best in
terests OF all were served by increased nroz
ductlon and by high-wage standards. ASSURING
sustained buying power, and higher national
standards of environment Conversely. firm
stand was taken against programs Of wage
reductions.
" This paragraph perhaps expresses the
idea:
Social inequality, industrial instability
and injustice must increase unless the workers ,

day. are progressed in proportion to mans in

goods, and more leisure for the endowment of
them, are in sight. There is plenty for all and
all that should have plenty. That's what labor
wants. O0A

must. They have endured the same
buffetings from misfortune, suffered
the Same agonies of spirit, fiayed
each other with bitter words,
anguished over their children and
bowed together over newly made
graves. But they have fought the
good fight, and kept the faith" and
verify they have come at last to
their reward.
For of all the things that we may
have left to us when life is nearly
done, nothing can ever be so
precious as the companionship and
love of that husband or wife who
has been on our side through the
sunshine and storms Of existence
Only a few Of US are ever thus
blessed.
And in world filed now with a
multitude of broken homes, these
rare, aged, happy couples are
beautiful to see-true inspiration to
those who still pray that marriage
may be saved.

bombings, day and night But until we had
landed infantry to destroy whatever vestige of
army our first operations had left them the war
would still go on.
The Navy is our first line of defense No
one ian dispute that. But it cannot occupy
enemy territory. The air force is absolutely
vital to any successful major military opera
ton, whether on land or sea and it can do ire
mendous damage with it's bombs But it can
occupy and hold enemy country even less than
the Navy.
Both in their time and place are vital to
victory, but before we can force any powerful
enemy to sign on the dotted line of surrender,
our infantry must be boss and dictate.
The very same rule would apply were the
war brought to u.s. Our coasts might be bonn
barded and we might be bombed from the air
and gassed. But until the enemy's infantry
could invade us the war would proceed. How
ever crippled, we would still carry on.
In the last analysis, then, in any modern
war, the good old grumbling, grouching but
ever-ready doughboy is still king

marked a new social order in it's
abolition Of slavery.
Is there any section of the
United States where pneumonia is
the most prevalent?
Statistics of deaths In the United
States from pneumonia show a fair
| ly even distribution Of the disease
in proportion to the population.
In what part of the United
States were the Iroquois Indians
found?
The ancestors Of the Iroquois
tribe was found along the banks of
the st. Lawrence River, from the
present Quebec to Montreal, by
Cartier in 1886. The tribes compos-
ing the Iroquois Confederacy &C.
cupied the lands in central and west
ern New York State, east and south
Of Lakes Oontario and Erie in early
colonial times. They were well
scattered over all of this region and
many Indian names in western and
central New York bear witness to
their presence.
What is the meaning of the
name iona?
1t probably comes from the Greek
name Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra in
264 A. D., and means full of life or
vtvacity.
Who was Nathaniel Greene in
American history?
He was the famous general of
Revolutionary War fame, who led
the Hhode Island troops to Boston
| in defense Of the colonies in 1775.
What is the meaning of the
names Harold and Delilah?
Harold means champion and
Delilah means delicate.

thing to show sight-seers.
There are other points of inter
downtown section which is all too
many visitors see of the city.
There is Riverside park, the sun
ken gardens in Garfield park, the
homes of our great and near great,
beautiful residential sections and
charming drives.
Then there is Pleasant Run
burbling joyfully amid its tin cans
where typhoid germs sit on
their launches and bay at the
moon. Also the Pleasant Run
boulevard curled up snugly in the
city engineers office. The visitor
should also see the Marion County
courthouse. with it's antique bond
issue, the mayor and, some Of our
other noble Roman ruins.
No city Of it's size in the country
has more to offer sight-seers than
Indianapolis, By all means these
should be exploited and sight-see-
ing buses encouraged. But after
riding an hour or two over some
of our boulevards, bus patrons will
have to shovel their vertebrate loose
ly into a bushel basket If they de-
