We could not very we'll get along
without the daily press for general
news.
Some of the things we read in the
daily press concerning labor may be
true; then again, they may not be true.
Labor news can be given the silent
treatment, a favorite method in some
daily papers. 1t can, and often does,
tell only half of the news; and, by
omitting the other half, create con-
fusion and twisted information that
is misleading. We cannot get along
without the daily press and do not
want to.
Our real bread and butter news is
found in the labor press.
If you have not got time to read
both, be sure always to read the la
Dor press, anyway.
/ What labor most needs is better and
more education on economics relating
to our everyday welfare, and we can
best get this kind of news and infor-
nation from the labor press.

OUR MOVEMENT is WIDE

Halifax workers who handle dry and
picked fish have organized.
The new union calls attention to
the scope of the American Federation
of Labor, which recognizes wage earn
ers in every craft and calling.
Skilled and so-called ''unskilled" are
in this great trade union family The
teacher and street laborer, the printer
and bootblack, machinist and house
maid, painter, carpenter, steel work
er, library employe, bank clerk, gas
house worker, fire fighter, freight
handler, paver, plumber and seaman,
all are united to raise living standards
and establish social justice.
The trade union movement is not
narrow" Every wage worker is eli
gible. He is welcomed. He is not lured
by golden promises. None shall con-
troll his internal affairs.
This independence and self-help is
distasteful to those who would '1ead''
and own the workers.
The trade union is the naturally de-
veloped labor movement of our time,
cline and conditions. 1t is the out
growth of American characteristics
and American background.

that the "dole" is responsible. They
refer to the unemployment insurance
act, and they would create the impress
sion that workers shirk employment
because they have access to the ma
tional treasury.
The British report refutes this claim
as wholly without foundation" and
states that "the body of unemployed
is not standing army of vagrants. !"
The situation is traceable wholly to
economic conditions, it is said.
The British unemployment insur-
ance act is in no sense a charity, ana
it is not called the dole" in Britain.
The fund is maintained by joint
contributions by employers, employed
and the government For male work
ers, the weekly contribution is pence
(16 lents) by the employer, pence
by the worker and pence by the gov
ernment.
Stringent rules govern distribution
of funds. No striker can receive bene-
fits, and if a worker who draws this
insurance refuses employment his in
surance ceases. A worker is limited
to the number of weeks he may draw
this insurance.

UTILITIES DO NOT COMPETE

A Government investigation of
the so-called electric trust in Wash
ington has produced testimony
given on behalf of the big utility
corporations indicating that they
have almost entirely eliminated
competition. The principle of COM
petition was declared by a represen-
tative of the big electric companies
to be Obsolete" In other words an
electric line is supposed to be sup
plying a public need and meeting all
of the requirements of the locality
it serves on a basis that is wholly
fair to the consumers.
1t is a fine theory and quite often
it works. Perhaps if it worked Of
tener there wouldn't be so much
complaint about the utilities.

GOOD GOVERNMENT UP TO
PEOPLE

If popular government is effective,
each stakeholder in the public bus
mess must be intelligently inform
ed. The details and ramifcations of
modern government are too varied
to permit each citizen to know how
each tax dollar is spent or to judge
the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of
the methods by which each public
function is carried on, without the
aid of some organized interpreting
agency.
Public understanding and support
of tax measures is necessary as a

tives today we're working on the
theory that Mrs. Marion Durbin, 80,
formerly of Indianapolis, whose
body, scantly clad, was found in her
luxurious apartment here Monday,
was murdered after a drinking
party"
They continued search for COM
panions of the woman seen with her
at Shady Grove roadhouse after
midnight Saturday.
Bottles and glasses gave evidence
of drinking bout in the apartment
where the woman's body, her skull
shattered by the blow of a blunt
instrument like a revolver butt, was
found in pool of blood at the side
of her bed.
A maid made the discovery.
Valuable diamond rings on the
woman's fingers had not been rer
moved, although dresser drawers
had been ransacked.
Wrapped about the woman's head
was a sheet.
Coroner Harry G. Irwin believes
the murder was committed Sunday
morning. He was preparing today
to conduct an inquest.

ing from the county commission
ers' Office to the clerks Office to-

them the authority to issue any

commissioners. It's nothing but a
bunch of women who want some
thing to do after they get through
talking about their neighbors.
And I also am of the opinion
that the political parties want
them for nothing else but to push
their own cause. If some of these
people knew how big and expen-
sive these machines are they
might change their minds. Maybe
they would like to loan their $2,-
