COURTESY

A man armed with courtesy is a
conqueror.
Courtesy costs nothing; but it is the
greatest selling proposition in the
world.
Courtesy recalls the customer and
invites a new one; discourtesy drives
away those you have and keeps away
others.
Wisdom is always courteous; dis
courtesy is the earmark of stupidity.
Discourtesy is no mark of superior
ity. The real aristocrat is the most
courteous to those whom fate has
placed in less walks of life than those
he treads; thus we have a paradox
which is great truth--a real demo-
crat is the only real aristocrat.
We all like money, but there is not
one of us that does not know there are
things more precious than money.
Ones self-respect is one of them
The discourteous man insults the self
respect of others and makes enemies
Of them while he is making fool OF
| himself
Courtesy precedes friendship. Cour.
tesy is the mantle of love; the orna
ment of charity; kindliness in man
hood, and the crown of womanhood-

Demand For Label
Goods Aids Labor

You are interested in the regular
employment of your husband, of
course; you would deplore any con-
dition that would suddenly throw him
out of work, would you not? Then
consider this simple plan whereby
you may aid, without extra effort on
your part, not only in keeping your
husband steadily employed, but also
his fellows as well. If you are men,
Der of an auxiliary the plan has al
ready been outlined to you; if you are
not so affiliated the information may
be of value.
All that is necessary on your part
is to consistently, continuously, and
insistently demand the union label on
all commodities you purchase for
yourself and family-and see that you
get it. Refuse-and tell the dealer
why you refuse-to accept an article
manufactured by non-union labor.
Simple, isn't it? Ii you and the great
army of housewives of which you are
a unit, would carry out this plan
without deviation there would never
be a case of labor trouble or the nee
essity for one, and workers generally
would never be idle.
You know, and no doubt appreciate,
what your husbands union has done
for him-and you-in shortening
hours, increasing wages, eliminating
undesirable shop conditions and gen
orally bettering matters for him and,
consequently, for you. Knowing this,
you should not be a party, even in
directly, to preventing members OF
other organizations enjoying similar
betterments. You realize beyond
question that the household budget is
based on union-earned money. Then
why spend any portion of it for non-
union products or services? Every
penny expended for non-union articles
lessons the power of organized labor
Take this matter to heart. Practice
in your home the tenest of unionisn
to the extent of your ability Buy
well, but buy wisely. The false econo
my of saving a few cents patronizing
chain stores, buying non-union made
goods because they are cheaper, viii
all react unfavorably upon you ant
yours in the future Fair wages for
your neighbor means higher wages fo1
your husband Union money wisel.

Germs are becoming SO burdensome
that many are forced to alter, reduce
and abolish their promised disburse-
ments.
Practically all of the pension plans
surveyed by the Pennsylvania Com
mission included in their rules num-
Der of conditions which materially
limit the ability of the average en-
ploye to qualify for a pension and
which also makes it possible to use
the existence Of the pension system
as means of enforcing plant discip-
line.
Several allow the board of direc-
tors to suspend or terminate pensions
if in their judgment the conduct of
the pensioner may seem unworthy
Others state that employees going on
strike or ceasing work when their
services are required will not be elig-
ible for pensions. One company rules
that in case of strike the time pre-
viously employed shall be divided by
two, thus cutting down the amount
of the pension or postponing the date
of retirement. Several firms forbid
marriage TO certain of their employees
under certain conditions under pen
atty of forfeiting pension rights. Lit
tie wonder that Justice Brandies has
called industrial pensions the new
peonage.-Prof. Emerson P. Schmidt,

SINGLE WORKER
Has No Equality; Unions
Part of Industrial Life
BY Colorado State Industrial
Commission

Labor organizations are as much
the product of modern industrial life
as the corporation. There was time
when the Individual workmen could
bargain with his employer on some
thing like equality. Industrial develop
ment has reached a point where it is
impossible in many cases for the en-
ploye to deal as an Individual with his
employer.
IN some cases the employer is cor
poration with large amounts of in
vested capital and thousands of en-
ployes. Under these conditions it is
impossible for the individual to bar
gain on an equal basis. In such a case
it is no bargain at all.
The individual workman can accept
the conditions named by the employer
or look fol other employment.
Very little freedom of contract can
exist between a man who has nothing
but his labor to sell and the employer
who can do without the labor of any
particular individual. Freedom of con-
tract under such conditions is little
more than an idle dream, because of
the self-evident inequality.
The time has passed when an en-
ployer or owner can operate as he
pleases. Such a policy is opposed to
the common good. The employe must
have the right to share in determining
what his working conditions shall be.

ularly profitable business.

nearly q dozen customers, who, he said,
owed him more than $25, 900.
Throughout the two-year period In
which the smuggling was done, Landau
said, about $4,000 worth of diamonds
were bought In Europe and smuggled
across by stewards of transatlantic lin
ers. Stones worth nearly $4,000 were
brought in between November, 1927, and
November, 1928, he asserted.
Landau, William Ballyn, former chief
steward of the Berengaria; James s.
Steel and Barnet Shapiro. partners In a
lace business In Gloucester, Mass, have
pleaded guilty to the smuggling indict-
ment. The others indicted are Mcln-
tyre, now on trial, and Landau's son
and daughter, Sidney and Frances Lam
dau.

divide profits with Mcintyre on Novem-
Der IS, 1928, but from then until he was
arrested two days later no jewels passed
between them.
