the tubers in to us that weighs
a pound, and she has many
more-some of them larger.
The heaviest vegetable in our
window is a twelve and a half
pound rutabaga brought in by
Dell Morris. It is twenty-four
and a half inches in circum-
ference.
And then there is that mon

a couple of quarts of pickles.
j. R.. Paulson is the grower of
the giant. It weighs three and

We are glad to have these

dows, and we'd be very happy
to have any other unusual
things of this sort.

FIFTY SIX YEARS OF PROGRESS

Benefits of labor organization are set forth in
convincing fashion by |. NJ Ornburn in brief
summary of Sc years of labor progress, since the
organization of the American Federation of Labor.
TO unorganized workers, his words constitute a
strong argument for joining a union; to organized
workers, they are reminder of what organiza-
ton has done for them in the past and can do in
the future.
"ln Sc years. organized workers have gained
twenty-five and a half hours of leisure per week
and increased their wages by three hundred per
cent" said Mr. Ornburn.
"Hours of work." he went on to say, decreased
from sixty three week in 1881 to an average of
forty and half hours week in 1888. Wages per
hour increased from nineteen cents in 1881 to
seventy five cents in 1887. These wages are in
actual money for full-time work. They are real
wages expressed in terms of buying power
"These are the achievements organized labor
has made in increasing wages in dollars and cents,
and decreasing working hours. This progress has
been reflected in the pay envelope and on the time
clock of all American workers. Is it any wonder
that unorganized toilers are joining labor unions
lat the rate of nearly million annually?"

FARMER BOY

Over the hill the farm boy goes
With new white shoes and brand new

You can hear him whistle this happy
boy,
It's "Flat Foot Floogee With Floy

He brings the cattle on the run,
For day is through and night has come.
And each night he goes to town
He gets his girl and trucks around.
Now to her task the milk maid goes
With polished nails and powdered nose,
Her tasks are few and far between.
For she milks the cows with a milking
machine.
Time has changed since their dad was
young.
But in his time, he had his fun
Yes, like them, he had his fun, or
maybe he had more.
But he swung their mother on a garden
swing.
Not on a night club floor.

A FINE SUPPORT or TOLERANCE

The Advance, official publication of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Of America, ClO or
ganization, prints in the September issue an ar
ticle from a labor paper which circulates among
West Virginia miners. This article urges its read
ers not to buy under the union labels of the A. f.
of l.. The Advance quotes the article complete,
and then goes on to say, edtorlally:
at is perhaps understandable that the West
Virginia miners are bitter against the A. f. of H.,
which has chartered a rival miners union in that
state. But. a refusal to patronize A. f. of L.
union labels would nfct needless suffering on
members of the bakers, carpenters, printers and
many other unions. =. . They are as workers, en-

STATE LAWS IMPORTANT

Vital Importance Of state minimum wage leg
isation was pointed out in effective fashion by
Elmer F. Andrews, Industrial Commissioner of
New York and newly appointed Administrator of
the Federal wage-hour law. Questioned as to the
effect of the Federal law on various state laws
along the same lines, Commissioner Andrews
said, in a recent radio interview
"The Federal Wage-hour law is applicable only
to industries engaged in interstate commerce. In
sofar as state minimum wage laws are concerned
with service industries, such as aundries, beauty
parlors, and hotels, they will not be affected in any
way by the Federal law 1t is very important,
however, that the state minimum wage laws con-
tinue to be effectively administered in order to
maintain wage and hour standards where the Fed
eral law does not apply.
"Where a state law has been applied to manu-
featuring industry, and the wage standard adopted
is higher than the minimum set under the Fed
eral act the state law will take precedence insofar
as women and minors are concerned Then, of
course, the Federal law is designed to protect men
as well as women. Personally, should like to see
the minimum wage law of this state amended to
include men. In certain low-paid industries they
are just as badly in need of protection

OHIO FAMILIES PAY
1920 HIDDEN TAXES

The average Ohio family pays over
5000 a year in taxes without knowing
it, Mrs. C. w. Walters, Cleveland
clubwoman and civic leader, declared
today in making public survey by the
National Consumers Tax Commission,
Inc. Mrs. Walters is Ohio member of
the Commissions national committee.
"Most Ohio families feel that, be-
cause they pay no direct income tax,
they are tax-free," Mrs. Walters said.
"a survey by the Commission, how
ever, shows the average family in this
state hands over about 1920 in hid
den taxes every year"
Mrs. Walters, past president of the
Federation of Women's Clubs Of Great
er Cleveland, said units of the National
Consumers Tax Commission are being
formed in Ohio cities and towns as
part of national movement to "pre-
serve the American standard of living
through the reduction of taxes and
economy in government" She de-
clared:
"When taxes reach the point where
tley diloulC W 20 per CenI ol wages
and salaries, it is time housewives be-
gan to combat them.
women spend S5 per cent of the
nations income and on them rests the
burden of making the family budget
provide the. daily necessities. When
taxes eat into the family income, the
housewife had to feed, cothe and
house the family with dollars that buy
less and less"

PART-TIME UNEMPLOYMENT
COMPENSATION

The first six months of payments of unemploy-
ment compensation in 22 states and since 1886 in
Wisconsin have made number of things very
plain. First, the laws are so complicated that the
majority of workers do not know when they are
entitled to benefits, what their benefits should be
or how long they may receive benefits. Second
waiting periods are too long. Third-impossiblity
of getting decisions or checks from local admins
traitors. Fourth-because workers do not under
stand this law they do not make proper appeals
from administrative DECISIONS Fifth-workers
have no records showing their equities under the
law.
A neglected field is compensation for partial
unemployment. All but seven states provide for
the payment of benefits for partial unemployment
and three of the seven direct the administration to
study partial unemployment In Wisconsin where
benefits have been paid since January 1886 there
were nearly as many checks for partial as for full
time unemployment-25 per cent of all benefits
were expended for part-time unemployment.
Part-tme unemployment such as prevails dur
ing depression-t is now 20 per cent among union
workers-makes serious inroads into annual in
come The whole problem of partial benefits is
difficult, for employers take advantage of such
provisions but unless there is such provision
workers may be reduced to starvation though not
eligible for benefits because not totally unem-
ployed.
Twenty-three states provide that partial bene-
fits in addition to earnings shall equal total unem
pIoyment plus one-sixth of earnings; thirteen
states provide benefits which added to earnings
bring weekly income up to 81 more than weekly
benefit for total unemployment. One state, Michi-
gan provides that monthly earnings plus partial
benefits equal five times weekly benefits for total
unemployment.
Obviously the Michigan law is admnstratively
simpler than the others. Part time would be esti-
mated only once a month and the cumulated pay
ment would seem of greater Importance to the re-
cipent These formulas make plain why wage
earners may not be pressing their claims and why
administration is slow.
Here is place where the union can render d
service to its members. Designate some member
to find out all the details in the partial unemploy-
ment provision of your state law so that he car
explain to your union members what your formula
is and how each union member can know when he
is entitled to part-tme benefits If the member
designated for this service deems it wise he may
get representative of unemployment compensa
ton administration to explain the law to the union
But some one in the union should be RESPONSE
bic for advising union members on this point.

ARE YOU A LAMB?

The argument that government-oWned busl-
ness can exist together in harmony may sound
well-but in this practical world, it won't stand
analysis, when highly taxed private business is
forced to feed taX-exempt government business.
Every time government goes into one business
it means that tomorrow government will go into
another business The rapacty of politicians is
notorious. Give them an inch and they take d
mile, until private property is eliminated.
In story, the lion and the lamb should lie side
by side. In practice, the lion eats the lamb. And
that's exactly what government business does tC
private business. We can have socialistic nation
or we can have nation based on free enterprise
We can't have both.
