PROTEST BILL

There is a bill now pending before
the Ohio state legislature, introduced
by Representative Bustard, of Cleve.
land, which provides that all medicines
must be sold by licensed pharmacists,
permitted dealers or physicians; that
there shall be truthful advertising of
both medicines and the place where
they are sold. This bill, opponents
claim, if enacted, means that the SIM
pie remedies, such as castor oil, pare
goric, patent medicines and liniments,
now obtainable in grocery stores, and
other stores as side lines, can only be
obtained in licensed drug stores in the
future. The cut rate stores say if
the bill becomes law they will be
put out of business. Protest cards
are being distributed in the stores
to for signatures against the
bill. Many of the cards are being
signed. It might be well for the gen.
sral public to investigate the matter.

OHIO AGAIN AT BAT

Again Ohio goes to bat to get TIC
of the yellow dog contract. The Ohio
State Federation of Labor has staged
remarkable battle. 1t has made a
remarkable presentation of its case
to the state legislature.
The yellow dog contract binds en-
ployes not to join unions. 1t robs
employees of freedom. The Ohio State
Federation of Labor believes this con-
dition can be remedied by law. Just
now it is believed there is a good
chance of enacting a bill into law for
that purpose.
Labor elsewhere will cheer Ohio
along in its task. If Ohio can pioQeer
the way doubtless other states will
follow. In time the vicious yellow
contract must go.-From the Interna-
tional Labor News Service.

participation of the new enterprise.
Most of these subscriptions, however,
will probably have to be returned, in
asmuch as the stock books have been
closed.
After the annual meeting of next
week the company will enter a period
of tremendous activity, organizing its
force and making it's plans for the
actual writing of insurance. "We are
about at the hour of realizing the
fruits of a long and successful period
of preparation" said President Mat
thew Woll today. eve are about
ready for our actual entry into the
insurance business. The interest anc
enthusiasm and support of the labo,
movement will be justified"

THE PENSIONS OF STEEL

Judge Gary's little company, known
as the United States Steel Corpora
ton, is footing its horn again, point
ing out that in the last fiscal year
it paid $2,537,916 in pensions. This
is supposed to be generosity and
doubtless many people will think it
is generosity.
The United States Steel Corpora
tion is one of the most powerful cor
porations in the country. 1t boasts of
its $500,000,000 surplus. 1t paid two
and half millions in pensions in
year to men who had gone to the
scrap heap after years of underpaid
service.
There are unions in the American
Federation of Labor whose benefits
so far surpass those of the steel trust
that comparison is childish There is
the Cigar Makers Union, there is the
Carpenters Home, with its home in
prospect in Florida; there is the
Pressmen's Union, and there is the
Printers Union, each having its fine
home for aged members. And the
bricklayers, masons and plasterers
closed the last fiscal year with 1885,
OO8 paid in benefits to aged members
and Widows-almost a million dollars,
and with $318,311 paid in mortuary
benefits in addition. Just this group

AWAKENING NEEDED HERE

1t is strange how excited people
get over matters that do not affect
them directly, such as atrocious
crimes involving only a few individ-
uals, and how calm and unconcerned
they are over atrocious social crimes
that directly affect many thousands
and indirectly menace perhaps the
health, prosperity or even the very
lives of thousands more.
At this moment newspapers, public
officials and private citizens are get
ting all ''het up" over murders, as
saults and other crimes in their re-
spective communities, while they are
showing no interest in low wages il
the textile industry, a social crime
that constitutes one of the sorest
spots in the nations economic body
today.
The United States department OF
labor has revealed that wages are on
a virtually starvation level in the cot
ton, wool and worsted goods indus
tries, and that wages have been COM
ing down since 1924, with the result
that the usual pay for men workers
is from $12 to SIG and SIT a week
in the Southern mills, and from S1S
to $24 a week in the Northern mills.
Women cotton mill workers are max
ing between SO and SIS a week in
the South, and between SIS and $25 in
the North
This is situation that menaces the
living standards of whole cities and
states, and is a peril to the whole
nation, yet little is heard about it.
Apparently only few progressive
minded persons are interested. Such
a condition of the public mind re-
veals that organized labor and other
progressive forces have great edu-
cational task before them, a task
that will not be finished until the
people as a whole realize that dis
tress and injustice anywhere affect
all and are the concern of ALL
