PATERSON
Silk Mills Demand Heavy
Wage Cuts

Paterson, N. J.-Wage cuts of 20
to 80 per cent below rates prevailing
before the strike must be accepted by
silk workers here before they get their
jobs back according to the silk mill
operators.
Forty workers are told by the Com

per cent reduction. Ten workers Of
the Zimel Silk Co. must take 80 per

Discrimination against workers be-
cause of strike are shown by num-
Der of mills. Formal charges of this

/ WHAT OTHERS SAY !"

ALI this talk of equitable codes, fair
play, and hometown loyalty to local
institutions will amount to nothing in
bringing back stability in business un-
less the iron hand is placed on big city
institutions which reach out like an
octopus to every nook and Granny of
our beloved country and literally sap
smaller towns and smaller industries of
the very life blood of business. Let's
get personal in just one instance. We
quote another home town business place
price on 5000 printed FORMS We find
in comparison that an agent from out
side has given him a price on this job
at price that the imprinted paper
actually cost us delivered to our Office.
Why and how? Simply because the
outside concern Solicits his business
from hundreds of other towns. He gets
huge quantity orders on the same
standard form and his firm buys the
the printing on fast labor-saving ma
chimes. BY that same token other home
business places besides print shops, are
taking the licking of their lives How
many cases of outside firms, which have
representatives and businesses in
smaller towns strictly on salary or
commission basis, can you think of?
How many thousands of dollars do you
think flow out of your town each year
via the big city catalog route? You
wouldn't believe it if you were told
This country will never return to salts

they give the Home Town back unto
itself. We have our MIRA, RFC, PWA,

Taxes Reaching
SdturGtiOn Point.

The sureSt way to solve the tax de-
linquency problem is for elected Off
Gals, in high Office and small, to help
reduce the cost of government We can
legislate and overcome some of the
causes, but the great underlying causes
are reduced incomes and high govern
ment costs, declared j. p Mcdonnell,
president of the Minnesota Taxpayers
Association in a talk.
"The alarming growth of tax de-
linquency in Minnesota is danger
signal that tax revenues have just
about reached the saturation point
When there is an overproduction of any
commodity, it tends to affect the price
of that product, and the market be-
comes glutted. When taxes go to the
high point where they are too heavy
for the incomes of the times, then they
must come down to get in parity with
earnings. Naturally it would help if
incomes were stepped up, but as yet
that is not a reality, and we have come
to our present grief in spending on
hope alone" Mr.. Mcdonnell stated.
I'm this New Year let us resolve that
all public spending agencies will use
common sense for the common good
rather than spend to the limit, merely
hoping for better times, while creating
all the conditions that have always
brought bad times" he said.

January was named after Janus" a
God of Mythology, who had two heads,
facing opposite directions. He could
look behind at the same time he was
looking ahead. Also, according to the
fable, he could look into the future as
well as back over the past.
just imagine what this particular
physical equipment would mean to the
motoriSt of today. Think of his being
able to watch the gent behind as we'll
as the driver ahead. How fine it would
be for the jittering motorist who is
inclined to lose his head in an emer-
gency, or as often happens in a silly
traffic argument, he would still have one
good head left.
A New Year is upon us. What does
the future hold? If you have driven
safely during 1888 will you be able to
do the same in 1894?
The answer is and remains with you.
You are the driver-you are responsible

rock from depth of lib feet. In all,
three shafts have been sunk, and the
last, 200 feet deep, is the present work
shaft of the mine"
From the shaft, nearly 300 feet OF
underground workings have been COM
pleted at a 1O0-foot level and about
1900 more of such tunnels at the ZOO
foot level. Some $500 feet of diamond
drilling has been done.
The production cost of the gold is
estimated to be from $3.50 to $2.75
per ton, less that half the conservative
production average of $500 a ton in
Dictated by the thousands of assays.
The work to be undertaken next year
will be on the 100 and 200 foot levels,
according to MIR. Eden.
Engineers to Direct Work
Additional drifting and a new hoist
ing shaft will be constructed and its
machinery installed. This will not re-
quire more than six months from the
time work is begun.
The new development work will, be
directed by competent engineers, as
have been the preliminary operations at
the Vermilion mine. On its completion,
the company will be ready to install its
mill for extracting gold from the ore.
To finance the project, it has OBJ
tanned authority from the securities
division of the Minnesota department
of commerce to issue $4,000 shares of
stock, in addition to the 10000 now
outstanding in the hands of 800 stock
holders, nearly all of whom live in the
Twin Cities. The new issue will be
purchased by the present stockholders
and there will be no public SALE
To prove this prospect mine has
required nine years of constant effort
with most of the credit for the &C
complshment to be given to Mr. Eden.
He went ahead steadily with the work,
undiscouraged by the oft-encountered
assertion that there could be no gold
in Minnesota"
Believing firmly in the merit of the
project, but determined to do only such
work as could be paid for without put
ting the company in debt, he interested
a group of Twin City business men, his
present associates, in the mine and from
them secured enough money to carry
on the development
No promotion stock has ever been
issued and all stockholders are on
exactly the same basis, says MIR. Eden
No one group of shareholders has con-
troll of the company. No commission
up to date, has been paid for the sale
of any of the stock. All these are fac
tors, according to MIR. Eden, which have
made it possible for each shareholder
to give his whole-hearted support to the
project.

$4,000 PER CRASH.

When you read of fatal motor ac-
cident, make note in your mental
bookkeeping for a community debit of
$4,000. And that figure, according to
Sidney j. Williams, director of the
Public Safety Division of the National
Safety Council, is a conservative
estimate"
His opinion is based on the accepted
assumption that the economic value of
a life averages $4,000. He takes ac-
count of the fact that for every auto
mobile fatality there are some thirty
five non-fatal injuries, and for every
injury there are at least four accidents
involving property damage. With the
total bill for accidents of all kinds in
the United States running to billion
and a half dollars, simple arithmetic
reveals that $4,000 may be properly
used as the community cost per fatal
traffic accident.
But if money does not talk con-
yincingly on this subject, consider the
cost of human life. We think of wars
as being major national catastrophes,
yet as deStroyers of life they are hardly
to be bracketed with traffic accidents.
For example, in all the wars engaged
in by the United States-the Revolu-
tionary War, the War of 1872, the
Mexican War, the Civil War, the
Spanish American War, the World War,
fewer than 100000 men were killed in
action or died from wounds Along
side those figures should be laid these,
cited by D. c. Duncan, safety engineer
for the Appalachian Electric Power
Company, to wit: In the past fifteen
years, a period approximating the dur
alton of those six wars, Americans
killed by or dying from injuries re-
ceived in motor accidents total 325, 000
Surely, here is field of community
service that merits intelligent consider
alton for all citizens. Almost every
nation has an organized accident-pre-
vention movement. Facts have been
gathered. Methods have been formul-
ated to reduce the accident toll. The
need of the moment is for campaigns
OF education and for improvement Of
traffic regulations and conditions.-Ro-

Lest We Forget.

In these days of business recovery
when many of us who have known
the pinch of poverty are again able
to bring home the welcome pay en-
velOpe, let us not forget the man
who befriended us when we most
needed friendship-the merchant,
who extended us credit when he
knew we just didn't have the money
to pay.
1t is easy to avoid the man to
whom we owe money, but it is not
right to do so. If we have any
money to spend, any goods to buy,
he is the man to whom we should
go.
Our local merchant, especially,
undoubtedly extended credit as a
friendly act. He will be reasonable
in arranging payment. Let us show
our gratitude, walk in and shake
hands, and give him the benefit of
our present business Record, Bruins

MISTAKES.

Fighting buzz-saw, hoping to evade
death or taxes, believing all one hears
or talking back to your Mother In-Law
are all recognized by most of us as
mistakes.
We can avoid the mistakes which
stand out like headlight on a 1913
flivver.
But still we all make many mistakes.
If we didn't we would make little pro-
greSs. A wise man utilities his mistakes,
remembering the costly experience and
profiting thereby. He learns how to
steer clear of such things in the future.
An editor probably gets more blame
for a mistake than anyone on earth.
A little typographical error can cause
more fuss than jackaSs in tin barn.
You may have heard that yarn about
the country editor who wrote floWery
obituary when the town miser died.
The town miSer was influential and had
many relatives. The editor did the best
he could with the material at hand and
he finally concluded by writing that the
man had gone to his last resting place.
Then the printer made mistake OF
setting the type so it read to the effect
that the man had gone to his last
roasting" place. The proof reader
muffed one and the fracas started.
The editor doesn't get a fair break
on this mistake business.
When the garage man makes mis-
take, he adds it to your bill.
If carpenter makes mistake, well,
it is probably just what he expected.
When preacher makes mistake
nobody knows the difference.
When judge makes a mistake it
becomes the law of the land
When doctor makes mistake, we
send flowers
But when an editor makes a mistake

Tran.nort.tion in Newfoundland

transportation in Newfoundland
In winter when harbOrs are frozen,
dogs are the only means of transports
ton and communication in northern
Newfoundland. Mail is carried by
sledge over 200 miles from the railroad
terminal. This distance, however,
would seem short to an Alaskan mail
man. One of the longest mail routes
in Alaska, from Kotzebue to Point Bar
row, stretches 500 miles over treeless
snow barrens, and along rocky shores,
with never a stake to mark the trail.

An aviation patrol for Northern Min
state forest service. Such a patrol
would be of tremendous aid in detect
ing and locating forest fires, observing
their progress and the extent they are
being checked. With a first class
aviation field now being constructed at
Ttasca State Park from CWA funds and
emergency landing fields to be built
in each of the new thirteen state forests
next spring, this dream is close to
realization. The work is all to be done
under the supervision of Grover Comet

Those who would replace democracy
by dictatorship point to the conduct of
legislative bodies such as the special
session of our legislature as proof that
dictatorship is the superior But these
people seem to forget that relationships
are throwback to the days when the
lives of people depended upon the
whims of manarchs and that subjects
were thrown to the lions to satisfy
sadistic impulses of kings. The ex-
perience of ages is against relationships.
Democracy is still an infant. 1t reaches
out to bring some of the spiritual and
material comforts of life to the masses.
To believe that democracy is a failure
is to believe that the human being is
capable only to live the life of serf
To believe in its ultimate success is to
have faith in the character and ability
of the human race to reach the heights.
The Minnesota Highway Department
which has taken leading part in sup
plying jobs for the unemployed
throughout the state during the past
year, will have practically no state
funds for new construction in 1884,

way Commissioner, N. w. ElSberg is
planning to stretch the balance of 1888
emergency federal highway funds as
far as possible during the coming year,
however. So far as state funds are
concerned, a preliminary budget eS-
innate by Mr.. Elsberg shows that high
way department receipts in 1884 will
be only $110,558 more than bond
charges, maintenance of the enlarged
trunk system, right-of- costs, state
expenses incurred in taking advantage
of federal grants, and similar obliga-
tons.
