Mr.. Green said:
In the coming winter, many In dire

selves the necessaries Of life will turn
to the Red Cross for help. The starv-
Ing In town, mining, and Industrial
communities OF our country will need
the ministrations which the Red Cross

THE Red Cross has become so def

claim on its services and so in turn
every group should contribute to tts
maintenance in order that this instI-
tuition may be able and ready to re.

The Red Cross can become In truth a

BEER AND JOBS

August j. Busch, Jr., vice president
and general manager of the Anheu-
ser Busch Brewery, st. Louis, stated
in an interview recently that as soon
as the Volstead act is amended to
permit the manufacture and sale of
beer his company would put 10000
men to work "This would include, y
he said, "all branches of our COM
pany, such as office force, statesmen,
drivers and so on, and those needed
for such supplies as printing, ship
ping cases, barrels and equipment
Our company would be required
to invest FIVE to seven million dollars
to establish modern system and dis
tribution. Thousands of orders have
already been received"
Busch said his company did not
want the return of saloons, but fa-
vored the Canadian system.

"The government at Washington
lives" and the economic machinery

For three months unemployment
has been going down-not fast, but
down, at any rate.
We may look with much assurance
for better days
But let US remember this: Fo,

vastly higher wages and fewer hours

must have stronger and ever stronger

Thomas Offers Socialist
Plan to End Unemployment

Richmond, Va.-Mr. Norman Tho
mas, socialist presidential candidate,
gave the solution offered by his party
for the immediate and permanent
repeal Of unemployment.
He said his plan would declare
war on unemployment and mobilize
all our forces for it,"
1t would Immediately organize
work" 1t would "take over by CO.
operation of states and the federal
government idle factories and put the
unemployed to producing for them
selves and for exchange among them
selves"
1t would make mandatory the FIVE
day week and six-hour day."
1t would set up unemployment in
surance, mot as a substitute for
work, but a supplement to it," and
in addition to these, it would include
complete abolition of child labor, free
public employment exchanges, and
old age assistance at 60.
He said under his scheme the per-
manent cure is planned production
for use, not profit" That, he claim
ed, is socialism.

Canadian Minister of Labor
Endorses Short Work Week

Montreal, Can.-Mr. C. j. Arcand,
minister of labor, advocated graded
working hours to meet increased ap-
plication of labor -displacing machin-

hour week, he said was one of the
most important moves which will en-
able man to take advantage of the
results 'of his own intelligence"
Mr.. Arcand pointed out that it is
the duty of an advanced society to
make man the master of the machine,
not the slave. He advocated an organ
lied scheme of public works, curtail-
ment of working hours, proper super
vision of industry with a view to
higher fair wage, and greater unity
among workmen themselves which
would lead to revival of business.

and quickly enrolled in past years
are now unemployed and seeking re-
lief for themselves and dependents
The depression seems to be growing
deeper and reaches into all quarters.
Those affected can hardly be expect
ed to enroll this year, but the many
who can afford to do so should make
up for those who are unable to, by
subscribing for more than single
memberships.
Americas Greatest Mother" calls
for funds and support that she may
continue in her great work of sue
coring the needy and unfortunate in
distress in times of catastrophe and
disaster, storm, fire, flood, earth
quake, pestilence, famine, depression
and other national calamities, and to
devise and carry on measures for
their prevention.
1t takes vast amount of money
to carry on the great work as it is
conducted by this wonderful organ
ization throughout the year, and it is
to be hoped, despite the depression
and great unemployment, that Ham
ilton will be able to meet and fill the
quota of membership assigned here.
1t costs but one dollar to enroll.

LEVEL UP-NOT DOWN

The Golden Rule Foundation o1
New York is getting up a series OF
menus by which it will be possible
to feed family of five in that city on
$8.88 a week. 1t can be done without
actual starvation-but have the gooC
people of the foundation thought OF
the consequences
The general adoption of such a
scale of living would be an economic
disaster as great as that through
which we are now stumbling 1t
would wipe out half the demand for
milk, probably more than half that
for apples and small fruit, and a
still larger fraction of the market
for oranges. 1t would curtail serious
ly the market for meat and eggs and
for fresh vegetables. Carrying the
same scale of living into other things
than food would close all but a few
plants making radios and automobiles,
and put terrific dent in the manu-
facture of household conveniences.
The list could be extended indefi-
nitely.

vidual cases and for short periods

SOON THE A. F. OF L. CONvENES

The American Federation of Labor
will meet in convention in Cincinnati
beginning Monday, November 21.
This years sessions will be of un-
usual Importance. Undoubtedly the
convention will go on record in favor
of unemployment insurance. But it is
to be expected that there will be Wig
orous debate before the proposal is
adopted. Few issues have been more
vital in the light of long established
American labor policy and principle
For this, if for no other reason, the
impending convention will be of out
standing Importance.
But there will be other issues
There will be communism outside the
door and perhaps temporarily inside.
There will be the railroads. There
will be wage cutting and there will
be the all-important business of
strengthening the unions throughout
the land for the remainder of the fight

in favor of pensions. Nearly 10000
aged persons now receive pensions, as
compared with 10000 year ago. In
F., our own Ohio and in Missouri, vigor-
Gus campaigns are in progress, and
agitation continues in Pennsylvania
North Carolina, Nebraska and other
states.
These facts are encouraging, for
they reveal not only public concern
for the wretchedness of hapless old
folk, but an awakened intelligence in
facing the problems of their support.
Pensions are cheaper than poor
houses.
The democratic party, union labor,
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, Fraternal Order of Eagles,
and many other bodies are committed
to the pension system.
Meanwhile the Association for Old
Age Security, whose pioneer efforts
are now bearing fruit, is greatly in
need of funds to carry on in state and
national capitals. Generous citizens
can find here an opportunity for pub
lie service certain to bring quick and
substantial dividends in human hap
piness.-Ex.

If you feel sour and sunk and the
world looks punk, don't swallow a lot
of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative
candy or chewing gum and expect
them to make you suddenly sweet

For they can't do it. They only
move the bowels and mere move
ment doesn't get at the cause. The
reason for your down-and-out feeling
is your liver. 1t should pour out two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels

OUR LABOR PRESS

1
Great is journalism. Is not
| every able editor ruler of the
world, being the persuader Of
it? Thomas Carlyle.
In season and out the faithful edi-
i tors and publishers of the bona fide
labor press are bringing to the labor
ers and the public the uncolored, un-
doctored labor news.
1t is up to the labor press to edu-
cate the masses. in trade union phi
losophy; to give the true and unbias-
ed news about labor; to comment on
various subjects of interest to those
who toll; to lend work of encour-
agement to those who are carrying
on organization work; to expose the
grating politician and exploiting en-
ployer; and in fact take up the cud-
gel for the entire membership of our
trade union movement.
While it is true there are few
big daily newspapers that occasion
ally print labor news-and we say
with due credit to such papers that
they try to do so without prejudice
newspaper must be published with
profit in view, and far too many daily
papers are prone to make that profit
| through subservience to an interest
and to the submergence of principle
and the bald truth. Nor can we ex-
pect the labor press to subsist with
out profit. 1t is regrettable that in
dividual members of organized labor
are SO negligent in regard to sub
scribing for and supporting the labor
papers. Let the circulation of any
newspaper increase, and the adver-
tisers will respond. No one is going
to advertise in a paper that is con-
sidered as without influence and is
not even read by those whose cause
it vindicates.
Despite a lack of financial remun-
Grafton and profit, our labor editors
are valiantly existing on the pro-
verbal crust, and going along year
in and year out giving the best they
| have in them to the interests of the
| organized labor movement. Surely
they could get better financial reward
by following some trade or profess
sion, but they hang grimly on, stead
fast in their purpose of serving the
workers. They have the conscious
ness of knowing they are doing their
bit for humanity and their fellow
workers.
We have a great admiration for the
labor press of America. 1t has done
much for the movement as a whole;
and it has done much for our organ
ization and for our members individ-
ually Let your tribute to the quench-
less zeal of the labor press and the
editors thereof be a subscription to
your local labor paper.
The labor press of America de-
serves your support.

" Where with sar
roo Little Hatchet
ws tell the truth
about many things. Sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes 1ippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

AS these lines are written, the
great American campaign is in the
last stages of frenzy and furore.
The great American electorate is
about to make up its mind and write
down the verdict.
BY the time most readers have
scanned these lines the whole show
will be over, the curtain rung down,
bets collected and the wheelbarrows
rolled down the main street.
That is way we have of dolling
up our seriousness with foolishment,
For weeks the welkin has rung
with perorations, the radios have
blared forth messages, campaign
strategists have sat huddled under
night lights mapping plans which
have sometimes gone right and som-e
times gone wrong.
But the climax comes. The fateful
moment arrives. John Public and his
wife marches up and marks "X."
Roman emperors used to merely
hold a thumb aloft, or turn one down.
That was one man making up his
mind. Today millions are called upon
to make up their minds
! Let us now venture into the realm,
of prediction, dangerous, but allur-
ing. This prediction, however, is
safe, sure, a 100 to shot.
The election will not settle our
economic problems.
Unless we, the people, get busy
and do for ourselves those things
that we believe must be done, we
shall go into another campaign, and
another, sans cure for depression.
If one man could cure our ills, that
would beautocracy at work.
We happen to have democracy
1t will either become more SO or
| less so. If democracy lives democracy
must operate. 1t must work. 1t must
have machinery through which, by
the will of the people, such vital
matters as now confront us can be
settled.
No wand waving will end depres-
sions.
The prime requisite is organization.
No president can will us into or
ganization. WE have to do that.
We have come, it seems, to depend
all too much upon miracle workers.
Too many think one man is going
to save the rest of us all the bother.
Somewhere someone will push but
ton or pull lever.
1t will not be that way, unless we
/ forsake democracy.
Democracy calls for effort. 1t re-
quires thinking. 1t requires acting
through organization.
To cure industrial ills, organization
must fit industry, as politics fits
political situations.
Primarily, and most vital of all,
labor organization is required.
Statesmen and politicians will not
organize workers. Why, pray, should
they?
Go thou, then, and get into trade
union.
Not bolshevism, for that leads only
to another kind of dictatorship. Nor
vet fascism, for there again is dis
tatorship.
But into trade unions, for there is
democracy, the stuff of which our ma
tion is made.
Go thou, then and join union;
we must be about this business of
rightly settling the grave issues in
industry.
