'Laye Late" and Evoke Betimes"

" USED TO WRITE q good deal about
what read in the papers. But you
know been reading lot Of these other
writer's Of Sundays, and they write
mostly about themselvs, and they seem
to be doing mighty well, too.
It seems that away back in Caesars on Hef-
Inns or somebody's early days there was some
old writer called Pepy and all he did was just
write what he did. Well he didn't do much
(but write) for there wasn't much to do In
those days. Oh yes, drink. Well he had some
kind of peculiar ways Of saying things and his
spelling was bad q can't personally stand any
body with bad spelling am on anybody that
can't spelD.
But this old fellow could make nothing sound
good the way he laid It ON the line. He had
two expressions, and If he just hadn't happened
10 use them why none Of our modern writer's
could have copied him, for that's all they can
copy him in, they just use these two lines
over again and again and think they are doing
q Pepys. One was "Laye late" and the other
was Woke betiInes." Well am going to do
some of that Lay lating" and Woke betimes."

BED co. WORKERS
FIGHT WAGE CUT
Mass Picketing On AT
Greenpoint Co.

NEW YORK.-The workers of the
spring department of the Greenpoint
Metallic Bed Co. are well organized
and are ready to fight the 25 Pc
cent wage cut. Beginning with today
mass picketing will take place. A
meeting in front OF the factory will
be held
The strike committee issued an
other leaflet, calling upon the work
ers from the other departments to
join the strike. AS soon as the first
leaflet was distributed and picketing
started the boss got scared. He went
from department to department tell
ing the workers that their wages will
not be cut. The workers, however,
will not be fooled by the empty
promises Of the boss. The workers
in the painting department told the
boss the only time they will believe it
is when he will return the cut to the
workers from the spring department.
The strike committee in its leaflet
also exposed this trick of the boss.
The New York local Of the Metal
Workers Industrial League is lead
ing the strike. Most of the strikers
are young workers and are deter
mined TO fight the wage cut. The
rest of the workers are in sympathy
with the strikers, with the possible
ties that the rest of the workers will
go out on strike during this week.
