Canadian Election Creates
Differing Impressions Here

THE Haverhill Gazette sees "a triumph
of the Canada first policy and links
with retaliation "a means OF pro-
noting intraempire trade.

"The beginning of the end of neigh

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON

Rhyme of FOOlishneSs.
There's lots of foolisA-people
In this world of ours:
We often criticize EN-
And mock their slender powers
But some ones got to listen
When wisdom goes around,
Or there would be but little use
OF knowledge SO profound.
There'd be no use OF teaching
II there were none to learn,
And life would lose its laughter
If all were grave and stern.
So let us not be too severe
On follies as they pass,
Cause maybe you and / sometimes
Are in the foolish class.

may have fallen-until he 10 shown by
the evidence to be a violator of the law
and q criminal deserving punishment.
The Mosaic law required two or three
witnesses to establish guilt No one
should be punished until proved guilty.
The fact is that every one is innocent
in the eyes of the law until proved
guilty.
Let us not resort to the tactics Of the
dark ages" in eXtorting confessions
and the "Inquisition" of the twelfth
century in dealing with offenders or, to
come nearer home and TO q more re-
cent occurrence, 'the Salem Witch
craft" episode in our own country. Let
sane and sober and patient dealings
with those charged with law violations
characterize those who are responsible
for upholding the dignity of the law.

LOS ANGELES UNIONS
RESIST WAGE CUTS

Los Angeles, Calif.-Officials of
the Automobile Club of Southern
California have refused to pay union
wages and observe other union work
ing rules and conditions in the con-
struction of the addition to their
building here, according to a state
ment by the Los Angeles District
Council of Carpenters. "The manage
ment of the Automobile Club persist
in taking advantage of the unem-
ployment situation and are hiring
non-union carpenters for 81 day less
than the union SCALE" declares the
council, thereby lowering the stand
ard of living" In view of its unfair
treatment of the organized carpenters
the council requests trade unionists
to refrain from patronizing the Auto
mobile Club.

LET PUBLIC KNOW
STAND OF LABOR
By JOHN J. MANNING,
Secretary Treasurer Union


Labor has more strength than ever.
1t has bigger mission than ever. 1t
plays a bigger part in social, indus
trial and political life. Labor per-
forms social service as well as the
physical service Of toll.
The heroism and loyalty displayed
by the pioneers Of the great labor
movement for the uplift Of human
kind are indelibly stamped upon the
social, economic and moral progress
OF our country. Indeed, when the his
torian of the future writes of the
past fifty years, one Of the brightest
pages will be that Of the activities of
our movement for human betterment.
But great as this service has been
and deeply as 1t Is appreciated, we
cannot rest content with past achieve
ment, but we should give the best
that is In us so that the many press
ing problems with which we are now
confronted may be satisfactorily
solved
Organization, education and pub
licity are the trinity, coupled with
real cooperation, which will aid us
more than anything else In their solu-
ton. Attendance at meetings: secur-

POOR VENTILATION
CAUSES LABOR LOSS

Washington.-Emp who re-
fuse to install proper devices to reg
ulate temperature, humidity, air
movement, and other atmospheric
conditions are financially short
sighted, according to DR.. r. R. Say
ers, chief surgeon of the United
States Bureau of Mines.
From an investigation of the con-
ditions at Butte, Montana, DIR. Say
ers concludes that defective mine
ventilation alone causes loss of 80
per cent on the miners output.
Factory and office temperature
above S5 degrees Fahrenheit, DR..
Sayers declares, reduces output, al
though the reduction is less if the air
circulates. High temperature also
tends to increase accidents and has a
debilitating effect on the general
health of the workers.

BLIND WORKERS.
WAGES CUT BY
GOVERNMENT

Vancouver, British Columbia.-The
blind employees in the broom factory
of the Canadian National Institute
for the Blind have been subjected tc
unwarranted wage reductions an.I
speed-up measures, according to a
complaint made by delegation of the
blind workers to the Vancouver
Trades and Labor Council.
The delegation claims that the in
stitute board increased the working
week from five to five and one half
days with no increase in the wages
of $18.75 per week for time workers
and reduced the wages of the en-
ployes on piece work all the way
from 16 to 25 per cent.
The Trades and Labor Council de
cided to support the demands of the
blind workers.

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
FRIGHT OFF THE BAT"

GLE DID it right off the bat" we
- frequently hear or say about
some one, the idea being that what
ever 1t was that was done, was ac-
complished without any preparation
or equivocation but instantly.
Like so many other expressions,
fright off the bat" comes to us from
the world of sport. 1t was originally
connected with the game of cricket,
played in England and subsequently
was transplanted to our own game
baseball.
To do anything right off the bat is
to do 1t as instantaneously as man
strikes the ball when 1t Is thrown by
the pitcher.
With the tremendous popularity of
baseball, the metaphor struck just the
needed note and quickly became a
common phrase.

An Honor To You To
Receive Statement

1t is an honor to receive a bill,
| Instead OF getting all riled UP
when the postman brings you a
statement, you should feel pleas
| ed. Yes-even proud for a bill
is an indication that some one
has faith in your honesty.
If you never received a state
ment or bill, it would indicate
that your credit is worthless and
that no one is willing to take
your word that you will pay your
bills.
Credit is the most valuable
asset a person can own. Money
may be had by various means,
but credit comes only from hon
est dealing and prompt meeting
Of bills when due.
There are times when you may
not have the money to pay your
bills; but there is no time that
you cannot see your creditor and
arrange for settlement Of the &C
count, by paying at least a part
and securing an extension of
time for the balance. In that
way you are simply proving your
honesty.
Never dispute a bill simply be-
cause you are unable to pay. By
