~ Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
0O we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly. {.
Prices are going up.

Prices are going up.
If prices go up faster than wages,
that is just like a cut in wages.
The president has urged employers
to raise wages.
If they do and if they raise them
fast enough to keep pace with the
rise in cost of living, they will do
something they never did before.
No, employers will NOT raise
wages, unless they have to.
We live in age of rapid and
sweeping change, but not in an age
of miracles.
So, it looks as if the worker will
get one more blast before he finds
conditions getting any better.
With pay envelope no bigger, and
for millions entirely absent, the work.
ers will be faced with constantly ris.
ing prices.
That looks like more hunger.
Can anybody see anything else?
There is lot of talk about the
banks. We are told they will be
sounder hereafter. Probably that is
so.
But what about this !? Is there not
already a new and greater concen
tration of wealth in the hands O.
fewer people?
If that is not true, then what has
| become of all the foreclosures and Of
the bankrupt concerns? Where hav,
all the distress mortgages gone?

greater safety and more freedom?

Those are just a few of the ques

Government officials want to kno,
why income taxes have fallen so bad

COST OF LIVING WAGE
BASE FALSE

John j. Manning, secretary-treas-
urer of the A. F. of L. Union Label
Trades Department, contributes the
following on the falseness of "Cost
of Living Wage Base:
The false theory af basing wages
upon living cost has again made its
appearance and has been enacted in
to law in the economy bill, passed by
congress and signed by the president.
Just what this basis is has never
been clearly defined to the satisfaction
cf many trades unionists. Does it
mean a bare living based upon the
rise or fall of commodity prices? Are
those who perform necessary manual
labor to be kept one or two steps
ahead of the sheriff at all times Does
it mean that wages will be such that
q adId diiu ldSI UuuSct iuuSt Uc Uut-
lined and maintained, which will, nee
essarily, mean bare existence?
There are several theoretic ways in
which to determine the "cost of liv-
ing" but can it stand this one sim
pie condition which can be found in
millions Of cases:
Two men are engaged in exactly
the same work and at the same wages
One of these men is married, with,
say, four dependents. The other is
unmarried, with no dependents. How
is the "cost Of living" yardstick to
be applied? Agreeing that both men
are rendering the same service, the
one with dependents must be paid, at
least, twice as much as the one with
out dependents, if the 'cost Of living"
yardstick is to be used, or serious
injustice will be done the one with

of books under the impression that
it is thereby destroying ideas it does
MT like is enough to make an intel
ligent person gasp. 1t is thing that
could only happen in a topsy-turvey
world, such as this has been since the
great war ended in 1918.
The New York Times reported that
there was good reason to believe that
the ripple of amusement that went
through the outside world when plans
for the book burning were announced
had some effect on the older and wiser
university heads. German propa-
ganda authorities themselves, who
recently had seen the effect of MAX
ing Germany ridiculous as well as
censurable, may even have been heard

not everything under attack went in

The Times dispatch gave the only
cheering note that came out of Ger
many in connection with the infan-
tile exhibition, and indicates that re-
sponsible German opinion realized the
foolishness of the book burning ex-
hibition.

FRIDAY, MAY l9, 1888
WE'VE GOT TO DO IT"

With a great Kickoff breakfast
at the Hotel Anthony Wayne, and
with the famous words of President
Roosevelt, We've Got to Do It." be-
fore them, a group of workers, sew
eral hundred strong, were on their
way this morning in the thirteenth
annual Hamilton Community Chest
campaign to secure the funds neces-
sary to care for the city's needy and
character building program for our
boys and girls during the next year.
The workers, with the picture of
the economic situation of the day be-
fore them, realize fully the enormous
task facing them to fill the chest,
but looking into the set faces with
looks of determination to be found
there, one was convinced that the
word failure" had not room in the
mind of any of them. Pep, vim and
enthusiasm predominated, and the
workers were fairly rearin' to go,
confident of success.
The goal for the campaign this
year has been fixed at $996 COM
pared with the goal of S121,175 last
year, when it is considered that the
need for help the coming year is
greater than that of the past year
the decrease in the goal set is to be
wondered at But this is brought
about by the pairing down of the allot-
ments for the various participating
agencies to the very bone, by sacri-
fees in personnel, in salaries and by
the elimination of certain activities.
The need this year is greater than
ever before in the history of Hamil-
ton. Many of the city's workers have
been out of jobs for months, but
many more have been out for several
years, their savings are used up, they
insurance policies, they are now dead
broke, utterly detected and know no
where to turn to for family upkeep
other than to charity. They must be
cared for. More men are getting out
of work each day, despite the talk
that prosperity is just around the
corner" and business is on the pick
up.
Right now all indications point to
worse conditions the coming winter,
and Hamilton must prepare to face
the situation and care for her needy
and unfortunate people. AND THE
WAY TO Do THIS IS THROUGH
THE COMMUNITY CHEST.
Many of the city's workers are
poorly situated for contributing for
the aid of others; many are totally
unemployed, and many working but
part time, as little as one and two
days week; and many of these have
close relatives and friends who are
in dire straits and whom they are
assisting; but the Press knows and
speaks for certain when it says that
organized labor will come forth and
do it's share fully to the extent of it's
ability and in every possible way
that the campaign for filing the chest
meets with big success.
No leaders were ever more con-
fident of the success of the drive
than the co-chairmen of the drive,

Tho following story, written by Richard M. LuKosius of 222 High- land avenue, was awarded one of the prizes offered by the First Ma tional Stores, Inc, In their recent Know Your Neighborhood His. tory" prize essay contest. Many stories were submitted from Wa terbury of exceptional worth ae- cording to the Judges, who were Clayton Holt Ernst, editor "rhe Open Road for Boys" magazine, Margaret Mochrie, editor "rhe American dirl" magazine and Pringlo Barret, author and editor The story submitted by Richard LuKoslus Is as follows:
 HISTORY OF SLED.HAUL
 BROOK
 Flowing not more than five- hundred feet away from tho First National Store In my nolgh- borhood is the historical Sled- Haul Brook, whose history dates back 10 the early settlers of this section. The brook at present is a small tributary to the Naugn. tuck river. It is approximately one md n half miles long, wfeh- out regard to the many bends and twists.
 As you will notice, tho name of this brook Is odd, derived from the usefulness it offered in winter to theso early settlers, hauling firewood down stream by sled, to their colony, located near the mouth of tho brook. Tho wood was gathered at Famarack swamp about half mile from the settlement.
 We now look in upon ono of tho cabins in tho settlement. "John!', "John!!" pIped wo- mans voice, "John there's wood ( bo got, so got your sled and get some at tho swamp" John numbled uhintelligibly as ho put on his coat and reached for his riho op the rack. Again his wlfo's voice piped, "John, take Hiram with ye, and be mighty careful of thoso Indians along tho banks of tho brook" John went to tho shed to bring tho sled from with in, then went to call for Hiram.
 John and Hiram wore busily walking up stream hauling their sleds behind. "Roekon it's too cold for them bloomln' savages to put their noses out today" said John. In answer to this an arrow sped closely past and buried Itself in tho leo. Both men gave each other questioning giances, and continued their way more cautiously.
 No further attacks were made
