WOMEN'S MINIMUM WAGE

The right of woman to live from
the results of her labor whether in
dustry is making money or not" is up
held as the principle underlying the
Ontario minimum wage law in the
1882 annual report of the Minimum
Wage Board of that province. The
report emphasizes the many difficult
ties of minimum-wage administration
during depression period. 1t points
out that while some few employers
are taking advantage of the unem-
ployment situation to exploit male
workers, sit is clearly the duty OF
the Minimum Wage Board to see that
the working women of the provinces
are not similarly sacrificed on the
pseudo altar of economic necessity"
"It must be kept in mind" con-
tinues the report, "that we are not
administering a fair wage law but a
minimum-wage law; that we do not
fix wages but simply set the cost of
living levels below which wages may
not fall. The minimum wage law asks
no more for working women thar
society demands for its criminals, i'm
beetles and paupers, viz, sufficient
food, proper shelter, and modest
clothing. When this is clearly under.
stood, surely there can be no argu.
ment as to its desirability"

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1888
STEPHEN A. WEBER

1t was with deep sorrow and regret
in all circles of the entire community
that the news was received on last
Sunday morning of the passing away
of Stephen A. Weber, at his home on
East avenue. The news quickly spread,
for there was no better known man
in Hamilton than Stephen A. Weber.
For thirty years he was connected
with the city's newspapers as circu-
lating manager and collector. First
with the Hamilton Evening Sun, then
the Daily Democrat-now the Jour-
Mathews. Day after day, week after
week, he called at most every home
in the city in his rounds, and he was
known to almost every man, woman
and child in the city. Always CHEEKY,
always jovial, he was looked upon as
friend by all.
doc" Weber, as he was affection
ately known to all, did many kindly
acts and deeds for many less for
tunate than he, and did them in such
manner that none but the benefciar-
les and himself knew of them-and
he always Immediately forgot about
it. But many who received from him
will long remember him and always
with kindly thoughts. doc" had
many friends in trade union circles
who grieve at his passing, as will
thousands of others.

WORLD GAIN
Is Reported By League OF
Nations

Geneva (ILNS) The world recov-
cry ain progress in the summer of
1898 is more substantial than year
ago." the World Economic Survey
Of the League of Nations says. The
survey covers the year ended on July
81.
The survey warns of the effect Of
the depression on world health, where
it reports "the situation has become
notably worse" with various officials
reports testifying ito increasing sick
ness, stunted growth and nervous
strain, particularly t.mong children
and adolescents."
1t adds: "It is evident that the pro-
longation of unemployment and the
general lowering of living standards
have reached point in some coun-
tries where they are not only sapping
vocational and moral efficiency but
are seriously undermining the phys
ical stamina of millions of children
and young people"

IF YOU WORK FOR WAGES
JOIN THE UNION

From many points come reports OF
new interest in organization work
Applications for union membership
are coming in faster than usual. Men
want to be inside instead of outside.
Perhaps this is merely an express
sion of the age-old instinct to join
the pack when trouble comes. Per-
haps it is something more than that.
Perhaps it is realization of the fact
that individuals, by themselves, can
not cope with a situation in which
everyone on the employers side is
organized.
The situation with which wage
Garner is confronted is too big for
him to meet alone.
The man who comes into union
because he is so battered that he is
desperate may stay when times i'm
prove, or he may not.
The man who came in because he
understands individual helplessness in
the fcae of industry's complexities
and organized strength will stay.
But whatever may be the reason
that brings a member in, it is the
unions job to show him why mem
bership is valuable, why he shuold
remain member, why he should
bear his share of the burden, why it
is a matter of duty as we'll as mat
ter of self-protection to stay in.
The union justifes itself in all
times. 1t does so a hundred-fold in
these times. But tomorrow the non
union man will be out of the picture,
because a lone individual, going his
own way, in world where everything
is organization, teamwork and nego-
tiation simply will not fit.

BUTLER SAYS:
Cooperation or Dictator
ship Nations Choice

New York City ULNS)-The ma
ton must accept cooperation or die
tatorship, Dr. Nicolas Murray But
Ter, president of Columbia Univer-
sity, declared in a radio address here.
"Men must have confidence in the
honesty and fairness of their social,
their economic, their financial and
their political order" DIR. Butler
said in declaring the first step toward
recovery was the fellow men, and
they must be given protection by So
ciety as a whole against exploitation,
persecution and theft" he added.
DR.. Butler traced the sources of the
present world depression, declaring
that one of the causes was the ruth
less exploitation of the masses by
those in position of power over money,
credit and securities.
"There are just two ways" he said,
ain which recovery from these disas-
trous happenings may be sought. One
is to be compelled to act at the die
tation of an absolute authority, and
the other is to be persuaded and in
duced to act willingly in cooperation
with our fellows under the guidance
and with the full cooperation, the
full assistance of government" The
latter, he predicted, is the course
which the American people will
choose.
Discussing the national recovery
legislation he urged those who carp
at it to weigh the possible alterna-
tive.
DIR. Butler cited the examples of
Russia, which turned to communism,
and of Italy and Germany, which
turned to Fascism. "There are trou-
bled spots," he said, "in a dozen other
parts of the world. Our people, for
tunately, are preserving order, free.
dom of speech, freedom of the press
freedom of assembly. Liberty is not
dead among US, but lives to inspire
every act of our government and peo-
ple."
But he warned that, in this new
cooperation, "we must make every
possible endeavor to move forward
by consent, by friendly and frank
discussion, and, when necessary, by
mediation"

DON'T TEMPT FORTUNE

There is much ground for the fear
at Washington that arbitrary and un-
warranted price advances might bring
a reaction that would be disastrous
to the NRA. Retail prices should rise
slowly and never in advance of the
through more employment and in
crease in incomes of the buyers.
A certain amount of imitation talk
is being circulated with the hope that
buying will increase and prices take
an upward turn. Manufacturers who
rushed into activity of speeding up
factories just prior to adoption OF
codes in their industries, bringing
about excessive production of specu-
lative nature, buying raw products at
depressed prices, paying low wages
and working long hours have crowded
their warehouses with goods. Now
they are hoping retailers will replace
depleted stocks with goods at sharply
advanced prices.
Retailers are looking askance al
this situation. Many of them sense
the danger of an abrupt upturn Of
prices without apparent conditions
warranting it. The public might re-
spond by ceasing to buy and that is
the very thing Washington breads
for it would do more to stall and re.
tard the recovery movement thar
anything that could be done. A tao.
tical blunder of that sort might read
lily become major calamity.
II is a time when manufacturers
may we'll refrain from greedy profit
taking, retailers use caution and the
buying public take a reasonable and
rational view of the situation. 1t is
an hour for cool heads and steady
nerves.

CURRENCY IMITATION
AND PRICES

Advocates of currency imitation say
people leak money and that imitation
by the printing press route will give
it to them in plenty. They forget that
initiation will bring soaring prices and
that much money will then buy little
of goods or services.
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, had
this in mind when he warned labor's
annual convention in Washignton that
when dollars are cheapened, by turn
ing them out in vast numbers, COM
modify prices rise, but wages stand
still.
"When the worker earns a dollar,
he wants to be sure that the dollar
is real dollar and does not repre-
sent to him a reduction in buying
power President Green said.
Currency imitation is bound tc
mean reduction in the workers pur-
chasing power. European experience
with imitation proves this. The worker
will be worse off than now, which is
something he should consider the next
time he feels an urge to join the in
fiation parade.

PRESIDENT GREEN'S WARNING

PRESIDENT GREEN'S WARNING
President Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, is doing big
public service by warning that relief
needs this winter will be greater than
ever before. He points out that de-
spite encouraging employment gains,
progress in unemployment is slow
and millions of persons still face a
desperate situation.
There is nothing to be gained by
blinking the facts set forth by Mr.
Green. The nation must gird itself
to care for the unemployed. 1t will
be hard task, and will quite likely
mean higher taxes and greater all.

hiring workers is grave menace to
the older worker
Developments of the last few years
have brought no relief" the report
says. "In fact, this policy is, if any
thing, becoming more widespread
The practice is so general that work
ers over as in many localities find it
virtually impossible to get a job, and
workers of 40 and even 35 are also
finding age limits applied against
them"
The report points out that discrimi-
nation against older workers is not
only unjust to the worker concerned
but is loss to industry.
Experience and responsibility" the
report says, "are essential in any
work where the quality of the prod
uct is concerned. The employment
or retention of workers should be
based upon competence to perform
work, and not on an arbitrary age
limit"
The executive councils criticism OF
discrimination against older workers
is thoroughly justified. Such dis.
elimination is foolish policy from
every standpoint and only evil car
come from it.

Three Great Tasks
Face Trade Unions

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-In
ending its report to the American
Federation Of Labor convention here,
the federation's executive council
said:
eve are attempting to work out
the principles of a new deal which
our government has legislated. AS
unions, we have no choice but obey
the law and to serve as the agencies
for putting it into effect. AS unions
we have the immediate task of:
81. Increasing union membership sc
as to represent the workers in indus
tries fully.
"2. To develop unions for workers
in mass production industries.
49, To survey union activities sc
as to make our machinery and meth
ods increasingly effective"

cessities and common comforts and
you can longer call upon them for
their patriotism.
They have found that there has
been enough for them all the while,
but that they have had it systemat-
ically taken away from them. The
people of the nation are either going
to live better and fuller lives from
now on, or they will take their gov
ernment further into the realms of
industrial and business control. 1t is
for the employers to know this, real
ize this and help to bring better con-
ditions, if they expect to have any
business left them.

Something like that is coming be-
