We work all day
For little pay,
While the bosses children
Shirk and play.
They call US lazy.
They think US crazy,
Not to enjoy the work.
We do the mining
They do the dining
All THEY can do is shirk!
In the near future
We too will pIayl
And not work for bosses
AS slaves all dayl

BOOZE EXAGGERATED

The Toronto Globe surveying the liquor situation III
this country finds absurd to say is often said on
both sides of the border that liquor is just plentl-
ful in the United States il before the NolStead
act came into force" People who say this, the Globe
observes can have no clear idea of the dimensions OF
liquor production and consumption under the old con-
ditions.
IN the fiscal year ending June So 1915, there were
635 dst;lleres operation in the United States with
a production of 1924, 152 taxable gallons of dis
titled spirits. There also 1872 breweres in op-
eration with production Of 5s,60s,21O barrels Dis
tilleres and breweries thus produced 6311o64 bar
reIs of alcoholic liquids for year
1t is obviously ridiculous to suppose that the furve
production of moonshine stills and brewerles and
plants converting denatured alcohol can amount to
more than a fraction of that great volume.
AS for the liquor smuggled into the country, the
Globe contents itself with the slencing reminder that
a good sized freighter would carry $4,000 40-gallon
casks and would take 4206 such ships to bring over
the equivalent of the liquors produced and consumed
here in 1915
The booze situation is admittedly bad but by no
means so bad as it is often represented.

COAL AND COTTON

Buy spool of cotton the south used to plead when
there was surplus production That helped little.
Buy cotton Mattress Texas grower suggests
now. This would help more. Yet it is hardly the ul-
innate solution. because it is only temporary. The
more mattresses people buy the fewer they will
buy year from People can sleep on only one
mattress at time. What is needed is permanent
solution for the problem of utilizing big cotton crops
Look at what scientists doing with COAL The coal
used to be only good to burn and none too good at
that, the way they burned it. Now they are making
gas, gasoline, lubricating OIL grease and thousand
other valuable things of it. Thus coal is coming
to be the important of all products and the most
valuable And the coal industry traditionally depres
sed and hopeless begin to look forward to permanent
BOOM with vast and steadily growing market caused
by the creation of new coal products.
The same thing, in less degree, unquestionaby
be done with cotton 1t is a basic material with
hundreds of uses, many known but not applied
many awaiting discovery Cotton growers could well
afford to support laboratories and scientists devong
all their time to creating for cotton and max
ing them known to the public Congress could we'll
support such research. The demand for cotton would
then expand matter Of course.

Approximately 800 families are af
fccted. little more than half of
whom are natives. One large ap-
preparation for relief has already
been made by the American Ma.
tional Rcd Cross, and further appro-
priations will be made if additional
needs develop.

fishermen. this meant that their
means Of livelihood, as well as their
homes, was gone.
Juneau chapter of the American
Red Cross, from Red Cross funds
and additional monies donated by
the citizens of Juneau and other
Alaskan towns, met the emergency
needs of the sufferers in the way Of
food and clothing. The rebuilding
of the homes remains the big prob

do this with all possible speed, as

FREE COURTS FOR ALL

William Vance, professor of law in the Yale Law
school. who is not rated dangerous radical makes
these striking suggestions for the reform of the
American judicial system:
First he would establish in every community a free
legal aid office where persons unable 20 employ at
orney coul dgo for advice their civil rights in diff
ficult legal situations.
Second he would set up courts TO handle petty dis
pues open all without fees or COSTS and infor-
nal that attorneys would not be needed the Judge
would have power to grant immediate relief.
This may sound attractive to the Iayman VINO has
had experience with courts What the legal profess

Favor Regulation of

The anti-union National Associa'
ton of Manufacturers has evolved a
cute scheme TO establish wages by
law.
Railroad managers ana 20 organi-
cations of railroad employees are
agreed ON methods to adjust disputes
and they ask congress To make this
plan the law of the land
The N. A. NJ. oppose They want
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to pass on wage agreements, lest
freight and passenger rates be in
creased.
This Is another way Of saying that
the commission should set wages and
have its award backed by the federal
courts and all of the power of govern
ment.
1t will be noticed that the manufac-
turers did not favor this procedure
when they sell supplies to railroads.
If the |. C. {. Is to pass on wage
rates, why not be consistent Why not
not make the revolution complete :!
