After Reddy Fox had left the dear
Old Briar-patch, Peter Rabbit became
very uneasy. Little Mrs Peter knew

forget it,

look surprised,
Forget what Reddy Fox just told

self that he is sorry for me-" said Peter.
''You know Reddy Fox isn't all bad.
Cabbage leaves and apples and clover
hay and carrots and turnips are of no
use TO Reddy. But. oh, my goodness,
what lot of use they would be to me 8"
Listen to me. Peter Rabbit" said
little Mrs. Peter. 'Reddy Fox didn't
tell you those things without purpose
He wants you to go UP there to Farmer
Browns dooryard. Believe me, If you
do, you won't be alone. You will find
some one hanging around up there
somewhere, and that some one Will be
Reddy Fox. He doesn't want you 20
have a good dinner He wants to have
a good dinner himself"
Rabbit knew that little Mrs. Peter was
right. He knew that it would be just
like Reddy Fox to try such trick to
get him out of the dear Old Briar-
patch. But he was so hungry that ne
lust made himself believe that Reddy
Fox had come over there to the dear
Old Briar-patch simply as friend.
He went off over to the Green Forest
hunting" muttered Peter to himself.
He didn't go over toward Farmer
Browns at all. If 1t Is moonlight to-
night shall be able to see all over the
snow-covered Green Meadows. There
isn't thing between here and Farmer
Browns dooryard behind which Reddy
could hide. If he visited Farmer Browns
dooryard last night, he isn't likely to
60 up there again tonight. If Hooty
the Owl isn't around, there won't be
a bit of danger I do hope those cab
bage leaves are still there"
All the rest of that afternoon Peter
kept thinking about those good things
at Farmer Browns. 1t seemed to him
that he had never known before what
an appetite really was. Long before
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had gone to
bed behind the Purple Hills, appetite
had overcome Peter Rabbits common
sense, and Peter had made up his mind
that he was going to Farmer Browns
dooryard Just as soon as gentle Mistress

jolly. round Mr.. Sun went behind the
Purple Hills. One by one the little stars
came out and twinkled down at Peter
Then beautiful Mistress Moon flooded
all the Snow-covered Green Meadows
with silvery light. Peter looked out Of
the dear Old Briar-patch. He looked
this way and he looked that way. No
one was to be seen. Far away in the
Green Forest he heard the call of Hooty
the Owl. That settled it. Peter took a
hasty look around for little Mrs. Peter
She was at the other end of the dear
Old Briar-patch. Peter hoped out and
off he started, lipperty- y-lipperty-lip
headed straight for Farmer Browns
dooryard. Appetite had overcome COM

However, you may be very sure that

Coolidge Opposes Even
Small Salary Increase
For Federal Employees

WASHINGTON, May 10. = No
sooner had the chopped-down WEIGH
salary increase bill for federal en-
ployes passed the House than Presi-
dent Coolidge's voice was again raised
in protest against the "appaleing"
total of expenditures proposed by
Congress. This measure carries less
than 100000 annual wage increase
for $4,000 government workers, in
place of the $4O,OOO,OO0 first pro-
posed as fair adjustment.
In a statement issued after the
rollcall in the House, the National
Federation of Federal Employees de-
clared that this bill is intended
simply as temporary relief pending
thorough investigation by all avail
able agencies of the government with
reports to be made next December, in
order that the next session of Con-
gress may have before it authorita-
tive data, upon which comprehensive
revision of the entire salary scale
NAV be based"

finished the job, they were given Mr.

PIECE-WORK AND

ARE FIRM SCHEME
Wages Range From S15

(By Worker Correspondent

(By w oFher correspondent
/ was recently employed by the
Metropolitan Live Insurance Co. in
their printing division plant in Long
Island City.
Although this company, which is
one of the wealthiest institutions in
the world, boasts of having more re-
sources than the Bank of England,
it pays most of its employees starva-
lion wages.
This company is one Of the most
detrimental to the working class as
its policy is TO foster such malicious
plans as the open shop, company
unions and profit sharing schemes in
order to put over their group in
surance policies, which is nothing
more in reality than a scheme tc
bind the worker to his employer re
CARELESS of conditions in order to de
rive any benefit from his policy. The
worker has to be employed for &c
years on one Job in order to gain any
thing. We can readily see that this
policy is to keep him from going OF
strike against his employer, and ii
he quits his job he loses the money
which is taken from his pay envelope
weekly.
These policies are very much Liked
by, and acceptable to the employer,
as it tends to solve their wage and
labor questions to suit themselves.
L olt ht1f 4N
accept these plans in order to hold his
Job.
Also the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. is instrumental in put
ting into effect spec up and
efficiency plans for the benefit of the
employer.
Conditions.
As for tneir own working conditions
in their plant, they are nothing to
brag about.
This plant is full of petty foremen
and company lickspittles of varied
descriptions. Workers have to fill out
time sheets, marking down every job
they have done every five minutes Of
the day.
Those that are put on piece-work
have to turn out a certain percentage
of work, over the average, in order to
make a living wage, and the least
sign of resentment against these, con-
ditions is a challenge to be fired.
Also the company gives their en-
ployes free dinners as part of their
wages, but the quantity and quality
Of the food is so poor, that many
workers eat in outside restaurants.
The superintendent Of the diff
ferent departments. however, are
served a very good dinner in Il private
dining room.
IF anyone refuses to join the print
ing division club, a company club, or
donate to such corrupt organizations
as the Red Cross, they are generally
looked at with resentment y the
heads of their department.
Wages are very low, ranging from
an average Of $15 to $40 for q be-
ginner and wage increases average
about 81 per year provided yoar fore
man approves of you.
In order to have the privilege of
working for these low wages in this
wonderful company, you must be
sponsored by your district politician
or someone else of equal prominence
or else youth be bound to wait for
someone to die in order to get job
