Lockwood Economy Plan
Would Mean Lay-Ofs

COunCll' are sample of this cru
Sading crews treachery to white
collar and manual labOrerS alike
49,. of twenty points submitted
by Lockwood, half are undisguis-
eddy fascist i'm tendency.
First, the council should be
reduced cutting down the rep.
rcsentati0n of citizens i'm their
government, consolidating more
power among fewer men, giving
minority groups less chance of
having a voice in city manage
mCnt
This measure would prove
an economy only to the big in
terests-the fewer men, the less
any opposition to capitalist in
fluence, the cheaper and quick
or the process of selling out
the workers, the little business
men, small taxpayers.
Second: A long list of measures
to centraliZc correspondence, ac-
counting. auditing, licenses, the
board of works stores depart
ment all designed to eliminate
expense simply and completely
through the elimination of en-
ployccS and the lessening of
wages through the familiar plan,
fascist commonplace, of speed
ing up the work, lengthening the
hours, lessening wages, letting
out the extra" employees, Civ
ing the remaining workers two
or three jobs to be done in the
same time and for the same
wage formerly allotted to his one
job.
Most fragrant betrayal of this
scheme is the plan to shift en-
polycCS from between depart
mcnts to meet peak demands
rather than hire extra help.
Police and fire department
salaries are to be placed in the
power Of the council-a power
giving free rein to the most
vicious political abuse.
A measure directly affecting
the future welfare of every citi-
zen: LockWOd's proposed change
of plumbing inspection from the
health department to the build
ing department. Under the exist
ing administration the public has
every chance OF insurance against
epidemics, the health depart
ment has a real chance to force
the condemnation of faulty in
stallatiOns and to discourage lax
ity of inspections :. What would
we have under the building de-
partment?
Two more blows aimed at
working class citizens of Sc
attle: The discontinuance OF
pass privileges on street cars,
the investigation OF City Light
with a view to cutting down
the plant and office payroll.
Lastly, Mr.. Lockwood suggests
that our eminent mayor, arch
terrorist and cOssack bully of the
Pacific Coast, shall name a com
mittee to survey governmental
methods and management with
an eye on needed reforms. Who
shall be on the committee? Work
ers? Technicians? lntellectuals?
Liberals? Left-wing sympathiz-
ers?
Nothing so crusading, so rpvo-
lutiOnary Mr.. Lockwood propOs-
es that Mr.. Mayor Smith name for
his sanctified committee such
prominent business and profes-
siOnal men as may he suita BILE.
The same old tactics. The same
old gang. A new name. But the
old ideas economy means no
thing to them but cutting wages,
dropping workers into the ranks
of the unemployed.
Judge the Order of Cincin-
natus from this sample, Work
ers! After election will be too
late to stop the betrayal of the
working class. Now is the time!
Know the truth! Sweep the
polls! Workers unite! Fight
for victory of all workers by
Voting Communist! Show our
strength, Workers!

Girl Locked in Ice
Box Almost Freezes

Starbuck-The unique experience
Of being put into "cold storage" was
suffered recently by Lorraine Asberg.
Going into the ice box in her fathers
butcher shop, Lorraine accidentally
closed the door and the catch lever
on the outside slipped into place,
locking her inside. No one was in
the shop at the time, and while she
could look through the double glass
in the two small doors, her shouts for
someone, to open the door could not
be heard through the heavily insulat-
ed ice box. After about half an
hour, customer came into the shop
and in looking around saw Lorraine
through the windows. She imme-
diately rescued the girl, whose hands
and face were blue with cold. AL
though no worse for her experience,
Lorraine isn't enthusiastic about be-
ing put into cold storage again. Had
she been forced to remain there much
longer, the results might have been
quite serious.

Dead Pheasant Flies
Through Hotel Window

Blue Earth-"And the dead pheas-
ant jerked up, staggered to its feet
and flew right out of the window"
Sounds like bedtime story, but
there are witnesses to the case.
Hotelman Bernards and DIR. Logan,
of Blue Earth, went a-hunting re-
Gently, returning to the hotel with
their share of the birds. The dead
flyers were thrown on the floor of a
hotel room to await the cleaning pro-
cess and there they lay-all but one.
This fellow refused to submit his
body to the chef, and when the hunt
er turned his back, the pheasant rose,
shook his ruffled feathers and took to
wing, right through the window and
away to freedom. No trace has been
found since the ascension. .'

LOCAL TEACHERS
 PAY STANDS UP
Compares FavOrably in Survey Taken By
 State Board

Waterbury school teachers have fared we'll during the lean years of the depression, according to fig ures made public at Hartford to- day where the state board of edu- cation has just completed a survey of teachers salaries throughout the state.
 The average salary in Waterbury is found to be $2,17S, making the city third on the list of communi- ties investigated. This city is ex- ceeded only by Hartford, which is first with an average of $2,585, and New Haven with $2,376.
 The survey was made by the state body in order to compare sal- aries of the Hartford teachers with those in other cities and was tn- spired by the demand of the Men Teachers club of that city for res- toration of the 10 per cent salary cut, and the resumption of sche6- uled salary increases.
 Teachers in the local public schools are said to be entirely sat- isfied with salary conditions here, and opposed to the move started lpast week in Hartford whereby withe the American Fed eration of Labor will be sought. Members of the Waterbury Teach ers' association have expressed the opinion that the majority of To- cal instructors would not sanction union with the labor federation. Plans have been made in Hart. ford for a mass meeting and 6 representative of the American Federation of Labor is scheduled tt address the gathering.
 Average salaries in other citiei and towns of the state were found to range from $. .1059 in Berlin $1516 in New Britain; $1,683 1r East Hartford; s1.724 in Meriden; $1,725 in Bridgepor; $1,929 in West Hartford, and $2,191 in Greenwich.
 The minimum for women teach CTS in this city was found to be the highest of the larger city groups, at $1,34O. Several towns, however exceeded this figure. while in many towns and cities, including most of the larger communities, 1t was found to be much lower.
