NEW PLAN MAKES GOOD

This paper hailed Inauguration of
the federal civil works program as a
long step forward in civilized and in
telligent handling of the relief prob
lem
The program, it said, "is big con-
tribution to the maintenance of the
national morale Nothing is so de-
moralizing as charity. 1t saps initia-
tive and self-respect and can only be
justified if there is not other possible
way to give help. Fortunately, the ad-
ministration has found way to re-
move men from charity lists and
give them the work which they have
so long desired and sought in vain" !"
Results of the civil works program
Justify this praise. 1t is giving re-
newed hope and courage to millions.
One has only to see the faces of the
civil works employees to realize what
the program is doing for men and
women driven almost to desperation
by unemployment and its attendant
train of evils.

A Happy and
Prosperous New Year
To All
RESOLUTIONS FOR 1884

1t has become the habit of people
to make New Year resolutions as the
breath of the old year grows shorter
and shorter.
And then as the first day of Janu-
ary arrives the whole country comes
forth with full set of resolves.
But one by one these resolutions
usually go to pieces. To be sure, they
were made with good intentions, but
adverse habit is a greater force
Yet these resolutions are never
made in vain. They have an infiu-
ence. 1t is a good habit to make rules
to govern our daily lives.
We should always seek to improve
ourselves, spiritually, mentally, NOR
ally and even financially. Prosperity
for the most part is habit. Good
habits and persistent resolving year
in and year out are big factors in our
constant efforts to live better and
fuller lives.

MILLIONS IN TRADE UNION
BENEFITS

A striking illustration of one of
the advantages of trade unions is re-
vealed by the fact that during the
calendar year 1882 the unions affil-
lated with the American Federation
of Labor and other recognized trade
union organizations, paid their men,
bers s51, ,348.73 in various forms
of benefits to assist trade unionists
and their families in meeting a num-
ber of exigencies which strike the
workers with persistent repetition and
through no fault of their own.
According to reports made to the
American Federation of Labor for the
year, the unions expended $19,970,-
556.86 in unemployment benefits, ST.
674,383.64 in death benefits, $6,148,-
302.12 for old age pensions, and $2,-
308,O40.08 in sick beneftes. Disabil-
ity benefits totaled $4,000, ,890.68, and
miscellaneous benefits 1,340, ,175.35.
These figures are admittedly incom-
plete due to the failure of number
of unions to report and to the fact
that in some national and interna-
tional unions the benefits are paid
by the local unions whose officers
quite frequently do not report the
amount of their expenditures for this
purpose.
The benefit funds are usually raised
by assessments and dues from the
members, and are emphatic examples
of the altruistic spirit animating
American trade unions, a spirit which
leads millions of trade unionists to
bring united collective action to the
relief of their associates who are in
distress.

UNIONS PROTECT LABOR

Every day, in hundreds of ways,
trade unionism proves it's value to the
individual worker" declares the In
dustrial News, the official publicity
organ of the Trades Union Congress
general council. Continuing, the
News says:
Here is an example, furnished by
the locomotive engineers and firemen,
which, apart from it's intrinsic inter-
est, establishes a principle of high
Importance to rank and file trade
unionists throughout a wide range of
industry.
"a fireman was turning an engine,
single-handed, on a turntable, when
ashes were blown into his lungs.
Internal hemmorrhage was set up,
and he was treated by his panel doc
tor, who advised him to continue at
work.
while at work, the bleeding re-
Cured, and finally he was laid up for
eight days.
"On his recovery he was medically
examined on behalf of the company,
and went back on duty.
ultimately he put in a claim for
compensation, which was refused on
the ground that the disability was
constitutional and had no connection
with the action.
"The union took up the case. 1t
obtained medical evidence, both from
the local doctor who had treated the
fireman, and from their own special

WILL NORTH FORCE CHANGE

Northern employers are showing
increasing signs of dissatisfaction
with the differential wage rates given
southern industry by NRA codes.
At first, there was no strong oppo-
sition by northern employing inter
ests to the differentials. Apparently
they were not wise enough to realize
that the lower southern wage rates
provided by the codes would handicap
northern industry
Now northern employers are be-
ginning to wake up, and there are
indications that dissatisfaction will
grow fast as time proves the differ
entails are giving the South decid-
ed advantage in production costs.
Will the dissatisfaction grow until
northern employers go on the war
path and attempt to force equali-
zation of code wages between the
North and South, as advocated by
organized labor? Stranger things
have happened.

QUICK RELIEF NEEDED

The urgent necessity for swift
action in providing adequate unem-

by Senator Robert f. Wagner recent

lief work by private agencies.

Wagner said, twill ever be able to

caused by the depression. Spiritual
disintegration and physical collapse

CIVIL WORKS PAY NOT TOO
HIGH

The fellows who want to keep
American standards of living at lev
els reached in the worst days of the
depression are yapping about wages
paid workers under the federal gov
ernments' civil works program They
complain that the very moderate civil
works pay rates are too high, and are
taking workers away from private
employers There is little or no truth
IN the last assertion, as the govern
ment is taking great pains to give
work only to men and women who
have been on public relief rolls or to
others who are without employment
Gov. Talmadge, of Georgia, who
dotes on publicity, is one of the OBJ
jectors. He says that if the present
civil works pay rates are maintained
private business in Georgia will be
up against it for labor next spring"
To which Harry Hopkins, civil works
administrator, retorted: "All that
guy is after is headlines" He might
have added that it is impossible to
satisfy some guys"
Talmadge and the other objectors
are wrong. Civil works wages are
not too high. What is wrong is that
wages in private employment are too
low.

If you feel sour and sunk and
the world looks punk, don't swal-
low a lot of salts, mineral water,
oil, laxative candy or chewing
gum and expect them to make you
suddenly sweet and buoyant and
full of sunshine.
For they can't do it. They only
move the bowels and mere move

Happy New Year!


It's nice wish, often said in pass
ing just because it's the thing to say,
just as so many say Morning" with
out any meaning whatever-sort of
an off hand pleasantly just to let
passers-by know you're not sore at
'em.
But there's a better chance that
this year will be happy one than
there was year ago.
Folks, there's WORK today-work
is being done. That means payrolls
and that means groceries and clothes
that have been EARNED.
Fundamentally, that's the founda-
ton of happiness.
In thousands upon thousands of
homes the year 1884 will start happy
right off the bat because work again
has shown up.
Codes, scold them as you will, have
put men to work The CWA has put
millions on payrolls.
Some call the CWA a camoufaged
dole. 1t isn't. Not by jugful.
That's planned work, with definite
fruits flowing therefrom.
A fellow can take a CWA job and
call it job. He can't call it charity,
no matter how he tries.
Well, not so bad; not so bad.
Happy New Year-and you can
drink it down with a stein, too, if
you want, to, or, in most places even
welcome it with highball.
Whoever wants to can tie the old
1888 up in package with upper
fastening and lay it away on the
shelf. 1t saw the last Of depression.
1t saw the end of going backwards.
Of course there is no new civiliza-
ton yet in full flower. Plenty yet to
kick about, but let's save the kicking
until next week This week, birth
day week, is good time to just take
off all restraint and see the bright
side, which is plenty bright when
compared with, say last December,
last January or last February.
Unemployment is on the run, def
nitely and plenty.
1t won't be long before the big fat
fellows will be squealing and squawk-
ing at the cost of it. Unearned in
comes probably are due for the sock
of their life. That's all right with
most folks. Let it come.
And here's bright thought for
closing this weeks perpendicular per-
ambulation:
If congress gets obstreperous about
appropriations for the good works
there'll be a lobby of the millions
who have gone to work. Will they
speak up! All, listen, my children,
and you shall hear-plenty!
And so. Happy New Year!
