You Can't CheWaS Stone

TTIHEY asked for bread and they got stone!
l. The bill introduced by Representative Robert
Ramspeck of Georgia. with the approval if not the in
spiraton of the Administration, setting $1,000 yearly
minimum salary in the Government service is the stone.
There is little in it that the Government workers
chew on.
Considering the legislative situation, however, plus
the maneuvering by which the Administration shunted
consideration of personnel legislation to the tail end OF
the session, it is natural that the en-
Not High ployes should be grateful even for the
Minimum Ramspeck bill.
Twelve hundred dollars is certainly
not high minimum wage to be set by the agency which
is endeavorng to boost the lot of the man and
which has not hesitaed to force private employers to
increase their wage standards.
The fact that such low minimum should be con-
sidered and that if it made effective 1t would
affect nearly fifty thousand workers. is indicative of
the poor state of the much maligned Government
employee.
Although 1t Is not so stated 1t apparent that
the Ramspeck bill is the sole outcome Of the general
study of personnel problems which the Administration
announced it would make early in the session and with
which it was able to delay action the then pending
proposals to establish -hundreddolar mini
mum with general though small increase in the lower
brackets.
What is going to be done about the report showing
thu millions of hours of overtime that Government
ployes are working annually?
Is that going to be forgotten
What Is Going and is the Government to continue
To Happen? to insist on getting more than 1t
pays for?
What is going to happen to the recommendation In"
dorsed by President Roosevelt that salaries of higher
officials of the Government be increased in the interest
of keeping valuable men and women in the service?
Are all the promises of the friends of workers the
Hill to be abandoned in the hope of getting twelve
hundred dollar minimum salary bill?

SdOU1D coLege girls marry
~ only professionally
Why doesn't modern young
America go to church? Is it the
fault Of the youngsters-or Of
the church?
And should somebody make
the hero Of 1887 wash behind
his ears wear socks L.
exchange dirty cords" for nifty
flannelS
Pining for a little excite
ment these lazy-dazy days?
Just tackle any one Of those
three questionS-and see where
you come out.
First comes Miss H. l.. KIRK,
pretty college grad-who'd al
ways heard that common
laborers" didn't rate in a smart
girls love program, and who
believed it, even though her
own perfectly grand daddy was
q paperhanger.
AND THEN SHE MET A
PLUMBER!
What More Could
A Girl Want?
Until then" says she, "I'd
thought of plumbing as a dirty
job done by dirty, illiterate
men. How wrong I was!
When 1 think back and re-
member little things, such as
being ashamed of his hands at
card parties, and how he
would try to hide them sensing
my embarrassment could
kick myself.
I'm a college graduate, and
he hasn't even a High School
diploma-yet he has trained
himself in everything that
makes a full, rich life. What
more could any girl want?
If we girls would only drop
our SnobbiSh notions and take
a man for what he IS, not
for what he WEARS. there'd
be far more happy marriages.
WHAT MOST GIRLS
DON'T REALIZE IS THAT 1T
OFTEN TAKES FAR MORE
BRAINS TO BE A GOOD ME-
CHANIC THAN TO HOLD
DOWN A PROFESSIONAL
III. L. KIRK,

($10 Prize Winner)
Next comes Doris MoSebach
mourning the fact that most
young people don't attend
church." Yet she wonders if the
churches themselves aren't bit
to blame.
AREN'T they perhaps afraid
of youths dynamic ideaS?"
Then she tells how her own
wise pastor meets Youths chal-
lenge.
"And So" says Doris, 1--WE have
discussions which would once
have been considered horri-
flying in church - discussions
concerning the actual problems
we must meet, such as CHILD
LABOR THE c. I. o.
STRIKES WAGES AND
HOURS, etc. A few weeks ago
our pastor held a YOUTH SUN
DAY, and let the Young People
THRASH OUT THE FORBID
DEN TOPIC OF COMMUNISM
instead of the regular sermon.
The church was crowded-and
there was criticism, of course.
But it has made us young people
feel that we are a living part
Of the church"
And then Doris adds words
which I would like to send to
every pastor in America
BELIEVE ME-, ELSIE.
YOUTH NEEDS GOD MORE
THAN ANYONE REALIZES.
THE CHURCH SHOULDN'T
BE AN INSTITUTION OF AWE

Since the
G.. N. Strike

must find way of making labor responsible under the
employment contracts it enters into.
Mr. Soans report is strong contrast to United States
Se earnings report for the period the second quarter
Of 1887 Big Steel signed quietly with the C. O. March
2 without strike; and Big sees second quarter of 1887
net income, $36oooOoO almost trpled that for the
period Of last year.
OF course Big Steel passed the its increased
labor costs under the c. o. contract by lacking up the
price Of Steel The motor ndusrys aim is keep prices
down and absorb increasing production by increasing
efficiency in manufacture This difference in policy probably
explains much not all of the actual
rast between the g. NJ and Big Steel earnings reports
the period since both signed with the unions.
But how about the labor trouble in General Motors since
the signing of its contract with the c. O. following the
bitter auto strike of last winer 1t us there is
lesson in all this for both employers and employees For
employers That doesn't pay to resist to the bitter end the
progress of labor unonzation which trend of these times
For employees: That contract is signed it should be
lived by the workers we'll the boss with hotheads
and soreheads firmly upon otherwise the business which
pays both boss and workers will suffer.

in the 5th, 9Th and 9Th grades, sec
ond in the 3rd grade, third in the
