A sharp contrast to the living costs
study OF the Labor Department on
which was based continuation of the
Government pay cut, is shown In testt-
mony by Gen. Frank T. Hines, Veterans
administrator, before the House Appro-
priations Committee, the Union Postal
Clerk, ofiicial organ of the National
Federation Of Post ONCE Clerks, says
in its February issue
While the labor study resulted In
continuing the Is per cent cut until
July, and restoring only per cent at
that time. the publication says, Gen.
Hines stated that much higher prices
are now being paid for supplies. He
predicted still further increases. Among
other items listed by him was an in
crease of as high as 80 per cent for -four.
SO to $50 per cent for coal and fuel oil
and increases ranging from to 120 per
cent for other articles commonly pur-
chased by households.
Variation Is Noted.

pears that one agency of the Govern

ukOll W DdSt ICSJOI dtlOll
Of wages and salaries. At the same
time, another agency, engaged in the
buying of supplies for the Government,
finds heavier appropriations necessary
because the same classes Of commodities
purchased by households have material
ly risen and will probably go still
higher"
Complete restoration Of pay to the
civilian employees in the regular Gov
ernment esta adjustment for the rest of
the present fiscal year would cost ap-
proximately S5l .0000 900. E. Claude Bap-
cock, president Of the American Feder-
alton of Government Employees, yester-
day said in a letter to members of the
Senate Appropriations Committee, in
disputing published estimate that re-
turn of only per cent would mean ex-
penditure of s5o,00o,00o.
Puts Cost at s26,34O,00O.
Using as a guide the budget estimates
for 1885, which place the cost of 5
per cent return at s63,217. .499. Babcock
said like basis for the five months
from February-July would entail an ad-
dition of S26,340,625 to the pay roll.
However. he added:
1t Is believed that the above figures
include much, or at least some of the
salaries in the emergency establish
ments. and since it is not the theory
of the present administration to charge
the regular budget with emergency ex-
penditures. and since the statutory re-
duction does not apply by statute to the
emergency establishments, it is asserted
that this figure of 26, ,000. 900 is too high
1t is true that some of the positions in
the emergency establishments have re-
ceived salary reductions through Ex-
ecutive order. However, it is not fair to
charge up the amount which the resto-
ration of salaries in the emergency
establishments would cost in making
comparisons with the cost of the per-
manent establishments.
To make complete restoration, he
concluded. would require a very small
appropriation, as most Of the necessary
funds already have been impounded.

winter 1t means that the workers
will have to unite more closely and

maintain the paltry relief we have

The I. U. of M. M. s. w. CA. F..

some reactionary members and

So workers, in order to better our

fight, by joining into these unions

I.-WHY VACCINATION?
Introduction

There are two general methods
used by medical science to fight and
treat disease. The first and most
effective, is prevention that is. by
prescribing proper diet, exercise, and
healthy living, an effort is made to
build bodies so that they may be
naturally resistant to many common
diseases. The second method. and
less effective one, is the treatment
Of disease already acting upon the
BODY, by medicines, and therapy of
all sorts. This method is also the
most common one and most familiar
to workers because Of the fact that
prevention of disease under Capital
ism is a privilege enjoyed only by
the boss class; for it is only the
members of this class who have the
means for proper diet, sufficient rest,
and a well-regulated life. In the
Soviet Union, however, where there
is a workers government, preven-
ton of disease is emphasized and
prsctised for the entire population.
Nevertheless, there are many dis
eases which can attack the body. in
spite of the best of health, which
that body might possess. Smallpox,
infantile paralysis, diptheria. lock-
jaw, typhoid fever, and many others,
can invade and kill even the healthi-
est body. And because Of this fact,
artificial assistance in the form of

UNIONTOWN, Pa.-The local in
vestigators have been taking down
budgetary needs of the unemployed
and making definite promises that
the new relief work program will
enable us to pay our rents, light,
coal, buy clothing, etc. In order to
have this answered to our members,
the Leithe local of the Fayette
County. N. U. c. asked Mr.. ONeiH
the local investigator, to come and
explain the whole matter to us.
Wednesday, Sept. IL, Mr.. O'Neil APP
peared at our regular meeting and
to crowd Of about $50 men and
women explained the new program.
In the main it consists of the
following:
One in each unemployed family
will be entitled to get work. He
or she will be paid so cents an hour.
The needs of the family will be the
basis for the amount of work re-
ceivable. For example, small
family will be entitled to earn SO
a week and a large family up to
$18 a week. The earned sum will
be an allowance to that family to
spend so much for food, so much
for clothing, medical needs, coal, etc.
In case Of bad weather and inability
to work, the family will be given
its pay for the work. However, Mr..
O'Neil did no know whether this
would have to be made up. All pay
mentS for work will be in cash. The
unemployed will not be compelled
to travel miles away from home;
only one member in the family will
be allowed to work. Above the
"budgetary needs" each family will
be allowed for "all other needs"
At the same time Mr.. O'Neil ex-
planned the new relief system, which
in the main consists of the follow
ing: A single man or woman will
be given 50 per week; two in fam
lily, $3.50; three in a family, $4.35;
etc. This is an increase over the
old scale Of 81 so per a single; $2.45
for two; $940 for three, etc. After
Mr.. ONeil got through speaking,
our county U, c. organizer, Keme-
novich, took the floor and brought
out the following: first that there
Is no guarantee that the new work
relief program will give us jobs. He
called to our attention the promises

made under the CW.A. and R.W.D
and told us what Mr. Hibbs and
Miss Silverrnan stated to the County
Committee on September T. namely,
that the new work program was an
IF PROPOSITION; simply because
there was no money allocated as
yet; secondly, because there was not
enough projects in some communi-
ties to employed even 10 per cent
of the employable unemployed.
Third, the whole proposal of the
new work relief program was to
keep us from fighting for more re-
lief With the prices doubling up
on lard, meat, -four, ETC., in the last
three months, this increase in re-
lief does not give us as much to buy
our food with as we could three
months ago with the lower relief.
But, if the government can make
us believe that after the 18th of
September all of us will have jobs
earning up to $19 a week, then we
will not feel the needs to organize
and fight for more. His speech was
applauded repeatedly and after APP
pealing to the unemployed to build
stronger U. G. IS new members
signed up.
Mr.. O'Nel was compelled to admit
that there was no money as yet for
the new relief work program.
1t happens that the relief work
ers in Fayette County organized into
an association and Mr.. ONeil was
elected its ce-president. However,
the president of this association is
H. H. Baer, better known as Red
Baer from Brownsville. Ex-Dick of
the Monogahella R. R., Slugger,
redbaiter and CRATER. Red Baer did
everything in his power to keep the
unemployed from organizing. In one
case ne tore a mans application for
relief just because the witness for
this man was someone Red Baer
did not like. In another case he
jumped off coal truck upon a
Negro worker, Barksdale, because he
demanded an additional sack of coal.
Kemenovich called to the attention
of the workers all these incidents
and appealed to O'Neil and other
investigators present to remove such
an element from their leadership.
The U, c. pledged its support to
the Association in their fight for
higher wages and better conditions.
