The Universal Broler Gas Range enbodes
every modern Improvement known to the gas range industry
and in addition offers the exclusive advantages and conven-
fences Of the Universal INA Drawer Broiler.
The INA Drawer Broiler is the most practical and service
able broiling compartment ever built In a range. Operating
with the ease and simplicity of filing cabinet the entire broi-
ing compartment slides out the full length of bro1er pan at
a mere touch of the finger. Easily accessible it overcomes
every Objectionable feature Of the ordinary broler and is as
simple and convenient to use as the gas range cooking top.
Further, the new and greater Universal with its smooth
exterior finish unmarried by bolt or projection is fawless In
design and has a grace and beauty that truly reflects a new
artistry in gas range craftsmanship.

INJUNCTION JUDGE
WOULD END STRIKE

Minneapolis. Upholsterers on
strike against the Brooks Parlor
Manufacturing Company have been
ordered by local court to show cause
why they should not declare their
strike off. The company claims it
has sufficient labor. The unionists
have been on strike for several
months, despite injunctions that are
intended to frighten them. The lat
est injunction would give courts the
power to end a strike whenever the
employer fills his plant with strike.
breakers and other incompetents.
The company's affairs are managed
by the Citizens Alliance, which has
taken charge of the low-wage move
ment. Organized labor has rallied te
the defense of the unionists, and the
strike is one of the most vigorous
contested in the history of this city
The latest injunction indicates ths
desperate straits the company and it:
allies are in. Because of the vicious
precedent it will establish, the work
ers will resist the proposal that al
injunction judge may decide whethe,
a strike should be continued.

Is For Service; Not Agency
For Profit

Washington.-"The post office is an
agency for service and not for
profit" is the purpose of bill that
will again be urged at this session
of congress by Representative Clyde
Kelly, of Pennsylvania.
All groups of postal workers favor
the bill, which would end the policy of
department officials who juggle fig
ures whenever wage increases are
urged.
Practically every government de-
partment calls on the post office for
aid. The cost is placed against the
post office. Under the Kelly bill these
various public welfare services would
be properly charged, rather than
against postal revenues.
"There is no deficit in the post office
department" said Mr.. Kelly. ''There
has not been a deficit in 25 years. Our
job now is to show that there is no
deficit, that service is the policy, that
the public welfare projects should be
paid out of the treasury"
The Kelly bill also provides that
compensation of postal employees shall
be based on their merits, without re-
gard of postal revenues.

CONTINUED WAGE
GAINS seen

New York City. - In a summary
prepared for the Nat ora, Bureau of
Econ'lnic Research. Prof. Frederick
C. Mills, of Columbia University, pre-
diets continued rise in wages for
industrial workers in the next decade
or two.
AS basis for his forecast Prof.
Mills briefly outlines price levels of
the past 81 years. He shows that
earnings of per capita labor in manu-
featuring lines have increased approx
imately 2.5 per cent year since 1922,
while the price level since that year
has been stable. He expects contin-
uation of this stability to push earn
ing powers to higher levels.
Stability is not impossible, for or
ganized intelligence may in the future
play part it has never played before
in determining the trend of price
level" Prof. Mills says. In speaking
of real earnings he says that money
earnings corrected for changes in
cost of living have been increasing at
a rate of about 1.5 per cent year.
Prof. Mills figures are based on in
formation secured from the United
States bureau of labor statistics.

This is not the case. The
purpose of labor-saving machinery is
to lessen labor costs, be that cost
direct or indirect.
The "labor slack" can not be taken
up by the manufacture and care of
machines that displace labor. If this
were true, the purpose of labor-sav-
ing devices would be defeated.

INJUNCTION BATTLE is ON
In New York city, center Of the
injunction warfare at present, the big
battle of the campaign impends. Late
this month arguments are to be pre-
sented on the answer and briefs al
ready filed.
If union-hating traction interests
win, then all labor loses a large
measure of cherished freedom.
If labor wins, then the injunction
will have been given setback that
ought to encourage congress to enact
legislation to limit the authority of
courts and put the injunction judge
finally out of business, where he be-
longs. One-man rule has no place in
a democracy.

PASSPORT DISPUTE
WITH CANADA ENDS

Washington.-Pet Heenan, Cana
dian minister of labor, adjusted diff
ferences with Secretary of Labor
Davis over the passport feature of
the immigration law as it affects en-
ployes of Canadian railroads operat-
ing in the United States.
The Canadians are often tempo
rarily transferred to terminal in
this country. Under strict interpre-
tation of the law they were required
to secure passports and pay head
tax.
Mr.. Heenan secured an adjustment
following conferences with Secretary
Davis. The Canadian was accom-
panied by the assistant minister of
labor, Harold H. Ward. The visitors
were rendered a luncheon by the
American Federation of Labor. Others
present included Secretary of Labor
Davis, former Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson, Hugh Kirwin, di-
rector of conciliation, United States
department of labor, and representa-.
tives of A. F. of l.. national and in.
ternational unions who are located ir
this city. Frank Morrison, secretary
A. F. of L., acted as chairman in the
unavoidable absence of President
Green.

HOW WE GOT THAT WAY

Statistics show that American
wage earners have four and one-half
rooms per person, with only Canada
and New Zealand affording more.
American wage earners are able to
spend more money for semi-luxuries
than are the workers of any other
country. A smaller percentage OF
their income has to go to sustain
life than in almost any other land.
For this trade unionism is largely
responsible. American employers, ir
the main, would be no more generous
than employers elsewhere.
Powered and machined beyond any
other nation, richer in natural wealth
than almost any other, America i:
able to produce bountifully Ameri
can wage earners know this and they
demand the fullness of the eartf
through collective action. The
mighty trade union, great agent o:
civilization, is responsible for th'
well being of American wage earner'
and they will never go backward
while they cling to their unions.

New York.-According to Associat-
ed Press cables from London, Philip
Snowden has resigned from the inde-
pendent labor party. He said the
British labor party fulfills all re-
quirements of workers and others in
terested in social betterment.
The independent labor party is a
radical wing of the workers political
movement. 1t has no communist con-
nectioas. Mr.. Snowden was chancel-
lor Of the exchequer, position some
what similar to the American secre-
tary of the treasury, when Ramsey
Macdonald was premier for nine
months. Mr.. Snowden is considered
the financial genius of the workers

Ford car will precipitate the greatest
industrial battle this country has ever

Whether this shall come to pass or
not, it is interesting to compare the
two generals" in the expected war,
particularly as in most respects they
are widely different in habits and
temperament.
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., head of the
General Motors, is the leader whose
brains will be pitted against Ford's
About the only thing the two men ap.
pear to have in common are that both

The Cherry
~ Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
O~ ws tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Aippantl-.
sometimes reeklessly. !. ......

Scientists, staging their meeting in
Tennessee, perhaps out of delight
full sense of the eternal fitness of
things of that sort, have been telling
the world of their doings.
1t has been disclosed that the use
OF X-rays on seed grain may produce
important mutations and that by this
means Burbanking process of ines
timable Importance may be at hand.
A mutation is any sharp change
from the normal, and mutations in
wheat, for example, may bring us
something in wheat as revolutionary
as was the change from hand-set type
to machine-set type in industry.
Industrial changes usually get
much more general attention than do
agricultural changes, but they may
be no more important and many times
are of much less Importance.
What we have just learned is that
scientists are working on methods of
greater food production and that they
are having enough success to indicate
enormous possibilities.
Those who used to believe that the
population would outgrow the earth's
productivity are constantly being re-
futed, and today it appears that lack
of sustenance is about the last thing
to cause worry.
Burbank took corn, reversed it back
to grass and developed that grass
again into corn. That shows how man
has increased his food supply without
having to increase the area devoted
to it's growth.
| We have, in all likelihood, just be.
gun the development of agricultural
and horticultural wonders.
What can be done in the factory
can be done on the land. Moreover
we shall presently come upon new
manufacturing methods which viii
compress our factories into much
smaller spaces, releasing much space
for something else.
Progress in all things having to dt
with the mechanics of living and o.
producing things, is constantly speed
ing up. Look back fifty years, if yo,
doubt this. Then after looking back
turn ahead and look down the year!
fifty years hence.
Much of what we know today will
then be ancient-out of the picture
as is the log cabin today.

the X-ray on seed grain, another ex
