The advertisement is right. Samuel
Gompers used to say that American
workers, individually and in the ag-
gregate, produced more than the work.
ers of any other country in the world.
He was right, too. He usually was
right.
Wages are a return for work done
for results produced. They are tol-
ems representing wealth created. If
workers create much, they ought to
receive much.
American workers create more
wealth than workers in any other
country.

TRADE UNIONS GROWING
WORKERS MORE ACTIVE


WASHINGTON, d. G aug. IT..
Trade union membership IS o. the IN
crease, according to Frank Morrison.
secretary Of the A. T. Of Z, who calls
on all local unions directly affiliated
with the =. F. Of 1. to appoint or
ganization committees.
Indications are that the fiscal year
ending August 81, this year, will show
an increase in the average member
ship Of al A. r. o. L. affiliates over
an average membership for the last
fiscal year" said Secretary Morrison.
The. first II months Of this fiscal
year show an average increase ii
membership over the ~ months Of last
year. This viii be the first time
since 1920 that there has been such 81
increase. The total membership last
year was 1856, 967.
At the end of tie last fiscal year
the A. F. of L. had defense fund
of $201 ,131.56 to support directly az
filiated local trade and federal labor
unions on strike for improved con-
ditions. Since the first Of the year
$22, 022 has been paid out of this fund.
Under the A. F. of L. constitution
these unionists are paid 81 weekly
for period Of six weeks, although
the executive council is empowered
to extend the time limit.
Local trade and federal labor un-
ions consist Of workers engaged IN
an industry or calling in which a ma
tional union has not been formed.
These local and federal unions are
chartered by the A. F. Of L. and OPP
Grated under its direction until SUI
ficient number ars organized. Then
they form a national or international
of their own.

! have made it a point to ask my
barber what laundry does his towels
since l read the article in the Labor
Press last week, and he has assured
me that a union laundry does the
work. am glad it does, for I'd have
quit that shop if non-union laundries
were patronized by him.
l think it would be a good plan
if all men would demand from the
BARRIERS the name Of the laundry that
handles their work. In this way we
can stop the practices. And while
we are at II, we might ask a few Abe
erdeen and Hoquiam stores patronized
largely BY working people to desig-
nate goods made BY union workers

Az productivity per man and in the
aggregate increases wages must 60
higher, or there will be national dis
aster. If production increases and
wages do not increase there will be
piles of stagnant wealth, or merchan-
disc, without buyers. Then what?
Wages must be spoken of always in
comparison to the result achieved by
the worker. CooIie wages and Amer
jean productivity do not belong to-
gether. It is good to find the preach
ment from the General Electric Com
pany on that subject.
Mr.. Garry is one Of the gentlemen
who ought to study that little lesson.
There are others, but not so many as
there were formerly.

American workers use more power,
more power tools and more efficient
methods than workers in any other
country. America uses as much cleo
trio power as all the rest of the world
Why shouldn't there be greater out
put per man-and higher wages7
But of course there are some en-
ployers who expect American workers
to create immense quantities of wealth
and take coolie wages in return.
Happily, American workers win not
consent to any such one-sided arrange
ment, and so we shall have high wages
and these high wages win continue to
go higher. :,

The General Electric Company de-

| r PREVENTION

Insurance companies, state insur-
ance departments, city governments
and large private industries all CO.
operate to prevent destruction of
property by fire.
AS the largest corporations en-
ploy legal talent to prevent litiga-
cation, so the insurance companies
employ experts in fire prevention
campaigns.
Active fire prevention work was
not taken up Systematically in our
country until about 1915. At first,
many property owners resisted hav-
ing inspectors visit their homes,
Easements and office buildings to
point out fire hazards and suggest
changes.
The first idea was that, since in
a companies collected pre-
miums on risks to pay the losses, let
the buildings burn and put new
money into circulation to employ
more labor.
They overlooked the great fact
that every dollar of fire loss had to
be collected first from the public,
and the more fires, the higher in
urance rates.
Cities that put on fire prevention
campaigns cut fire losses that av-
eraged from 50 to 81 per capita
annually to about 80 cents per cap
tia.
The fire loss in the United States
last year was about $548, O0O, 900,
and about 10000 lives. There is
still room for fire prevention. Where
it is not undertaken voluntarily, it
should be made compulsory.-Ex-
change.

The Methodist Church in Wolf
Point is planning to celebrate the
close of a successful years work on
Wednesday, August &c, at 7 O'Clock.
This will be in the nature of a Jubi-
lee which will be held at the church.
A fine banquet will be served. Mu-
sic, speeches, singing and all that
goes with a good time will be en-
be 75c, the proceeds going to help
bring up the budget for the year.
Rev. Cole of Havre will be the prin-
cipal speaker.
Wolf Point need not be ashamed
of the report of this church that is
trying in an unselfish way to serve
the whole community. Grateful for
all that has been done by the kind
people of Wolf Point they bespeak
your prayers and assistance with
this program for the coming year.
Be sure to plan to be present at
the jubilee.
The Annual Conference of the
Methodist church meets at Great
Falls, September 10th where the
pastors are reappointed to their
fields for the coming year. Reports
are made of the work of the whole
state is planned for another year.
This has been a good year through
out the church in Montana with
many new members, bigger and bet
ter institutions and debts cleared
up.
Next Sunday morning the pastor
will speak on the policy and govern
ment of the Methodist church. Fol
lowing the service a congregational
meeting will be held at which time
a lay delegate will be elected to
the lay conference at Great Falls
the same time as the annual con-
ference of the ministers.
Two questions will also be voted
upon. One is the question of wheth-
er the Methodist Episcopal church
shall unite with the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South. This division
of the church occurred in 1847 over
the slavery question. 1t looks as
tho these two bodies of Christians
will now again be united. If they
unite it will make the Methodist
Episcopal church the largest single
body of Protestant Christians in the
States.
The other question will concern
whether the lay representatives be
equal in number with the minister
ial members in the Annual Confer
ence. A. D. Mcneil is chairman of
The meeting. Everyone is cordially
Welcome at the "Service Church." (:

is no n in a worm turning be-
cause it's the same on every side.
But Irving forgot about the inside
and that was the side that pulled
the dirty trick on the innocent links
addict. 1t is the theory that tn
particular ball had been hooked,
sliced, topped, dubbed, "cut'' to the
quick and otherwise misused until
it could stand no more.
