important thing is what you do about
1t. Anyone may go into the shops
and select curtains in the best mate
rials with fine workmanship and
lovely color and still not do any
thing for the house. 1t is the small,
individual, personal touches that you
are able to think out yourself that will
make a great difference between your
house and the one next door.
II you have an 18th century room
with Georgian furniture and you
know anything about the habits of
dress and behavior OF those days you
may use this to good advantage in
giving your windows the air OF ele-
gance of that period. SatinS, dam
asks, taffetaS and brocades were beau
tiful in that age and were used with
great distinction. Many of them are
too heavy and ponderous to please our
modern taste. but We may still keep
the same general lines and effect with
out going to extremes. For this type
of room carry the draperieS all the
way to the floor. If you wish to cut
the height bit, use tie-backs about
two-thirds Of the way down. A
valance will also help to break height,
especially If it is of color or design
different from the plain fabric used
for the curtains.
IF YOU like sheer curtains without
draperies, use them very full in
this room, all the way to the floor,
either tie-back or straight, with
swag, valance or fan-shaped drapery
q third Of the way. For this treat
ment you must make sure that the
curtain rods. fixtures and tie-backs
are very lovely and definite part Of
the decoration.
If you have an early American or
Colonial house you have even greater
opportunity to work out delightful
individual plans, as the charm Of
those homes was definitely connected
with the women who cared for them.
Though there is nothing better than
sheerest dotted swiss, with rutfleS to
give that spic and span appearance
that goes so well with pine and maple,
there are many other ideas in case
this one does not appeal to you.
Try placing a natural wood frame
around the window, which is carried
to the floor line. Between the
window sill and the floor use gayly-
figured wallpaper or chintz. Place
bright-colored glass or tiny potted
plants on glass shelves across the
window, to accent color and pattern.
In pine paneled room a shaped
wood valance might have checked
eingham or plaid curtains which ex-
tend only to the window sill.
You might try, with full sheer cur
tains, quilted valance board in a
bedroom with mahogany furniture.
Another attractive treatment is a
panel OF printed linen. used perfectly
fiat and ungathered. stiffened with
buckram which frames the top and
sides Of the window. Under this Is a
sheer glass curtain in one of the
eolors of the linen. This is especially
useful when the windows are slightly
out Of proportion, either too wide OF
not wide enough as their actual size
may be disguised by the stiffened
panel.

and children are pretty sure to be
spoiled when there are only one or two
in the family, no matter how good
the parents are. though, of course, you
can find individual exceptions to this
rule. Divorce, crime, immortality and
so forth are bound to get worse rs
families become smaller and the num-
Der Of spoiled children increase in spite
OF everything the Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts and PIT. A. and the schools
can do. The remedy for many of our
social and moral ills Is the old-fash-
ioned family Of 10 or more children.
R. M. H.
Answer-Undoubted the limiting
OF families to one or two children is re-
sponsible for the great number OF
spoiled brats in our midst who grow up
to be hoodlums, are pests In the COM
munities in which they live, curses to
themselves and who bring grief and
shame to their parents. Having only
one or two children, doting fathers
and mothers have more money and
time to devote to cultivating SELFISH
ness, egotism and arrogance in the
individual child than they could if
they had bakers dozen Of them.
Besides. children discipline each
other with = thoroughneSs and Sc
verify that few parents would have
the nerve to use. They play no favor
ties among themselves. There are no
pampered white-haired darlings in
their midst to whom they give the
bext Of everything and whose short
comings they condone. Johnny sc-
quires altruism by having his tendency
to grab beaten out Of him by older
brothers and sisters who make him

An Interesting Ruling

The u. S. Treasury Department is reported
to have issued a ruling that employers may
deduct taxes imposed by the Social Security
Act in making out their Federal income tax
returns, but that employees may not deduct
Social Security Act taxes from their income
tax returns.
It will be recalled that under the Federal
Social Security Act all employers in indus
tries not specially excluded pay into the Fed
eral Treasury one per cent on all wages and
salaries up to $4,000 in each year, and deduct
from compensation to employees an equal
amount which they are also responsible for
paying into the Federal Treasury.
Under the Treasury ruling, officials advise,
a wage Garner or a salary Garner may deduct
from his Federal income tax return the taxes
he pays on his house and other property, but
not the one per cent of his wages or salary
he pays to secure, ultimately, an old age pen
sion.
Of course, a Treasury ruling is in effect a
Federal law-at least until changed by an
act Of Congress. Nevertheless, wage and
salary earners will naturally experience diff
fculty in understanding the seeming discrim-
ination against them by the Treasury ruling.
Although their difficulty will not be wholly
liquidated by the Treasury's explanation of
the reason for the discrimination, they will
be interested, at least, in the official elucida-
ton of the reason for the differentiation.
Treasury officials said that the levy paid by
the workers for old age insurance is techni-
cally an income tax, which, under the law,
cannot be deducted in figuring the regular
Federal income tax. The officials added
that the tax levied on employers for the old
age insurance fund is an "eXcise" tax, and
is therefore deductible the same as the Fed
eral tax on automobiles and refrigerators.
This official explanation certainly makes
the reason for the discrimination as plain as
the nose on ones face! The employer pays
an old age insurance tax based on the wages
he pays his employees; that tax is an Excise"
tax, the amount of which he is authorized to
deduct from his Federal income tax return.
The employee, on the other hand, pays a tax
for old age insurance out Of his wages; but
that tax is an income tax, which he is not
authorized to deduct from his Federal in
come tax return. Excise" tax! Income"
tax Could anything be palmer?

Increased Wages and High Prices

An outstanding and regrettable feature Of
the present business slump is the nation
wide and persistent charge made by bust
ness leaders and their ballyhoo artists among
journalists, columnists, economists and poll
ticians that the high prices which those who
own and operate industry and commerce
have compelled the people to pay for a large
range of commodities have been caused by
the alleged high wages paid to working men
and women who do most of the useful work
in our system Of production and distribution.
The utter falsity of the vaporings of these
anti-labor propagandists and the anti-social
purpose of their scheme Of Misrepresentation
were pointedly revealed by William Green,
president of the American Federation of La
Dor, in his testimony before the Special Sen
ate Committee to Investigate Unemployment
and Relief.
In discussing wages and prices, MIR. Green
said:
persistent statements have been made
that the rapid rises in prices and costs be-
tween the fall of 1896 and the spring of 1887
were caused by disproportionate increases
in wages.
"There is unanswerable evidence in the
economic annals of the past two years prov
ing that high prices cannot be charged to
high wages.
"We know, for example, that, during this
period, after the wage increases had been
granted the margin of profit of the manufac-
turers continued to be extremely high. We
also know that between September, 1886, and
July, 1887, while the increase in costs due to
wage raises alone did not average more than
2.5 per cent, the price increases averaged 8.4
per cent.
Specifically, in cotton goods, production
costs rose 81 per cent due to wage increases
in the year ending April, 1887, but the prices
went to Is per cent above the previous year.
Similarly, in automobiles, wage increases
raised production costs 81 per cent in the
year ending September, 1887, but price in
Montana labor news., 1938-01-27

creases on the new models have averaged
ga per cent.
'In other words, the widespread claims
that increased costs and the consequently
increased prices were caused originally by
no other factor but wage increases, are
nothing short of deliberate propaganda for
the obvious purpose of i~ntimidating the
workers into the acceptance of drastic wage
reductions.
But those who resort to such methods of
e~xerting psychological pressure in order to
secure wage cuts for the sake of the imme-
date gain lose sight of the fact that it is the
maintenance of these high wages that pro-
vides the broader basis, and in fact, the only
basis, on which recovery can be re-estab-
lished."
These s%uccinct and %indisputable facts pre-
scented by the president of the American
Federation of Labor should place a perma-
nent and squelching quietus on the belchings
of those members of the Ananias brother
hood who labor under the delusion that their
own profiteering and fabulous profits as ele-
ments in higher prices can be hidden by the
silly smoke-screen fable that the meager con-
tents of the workers pay envelopes are in
any way responsible for the high prices
which have been imposed on consumers by
those who, under our economic system, have
the dictatorial power to raise prices without
the least consideration for the public welfare.

Labor Peace Yet to Come

The failure of peace negotiations between
the Committee for Industrial Organization
and the American Federation of Labor is a
matter of profound regret.
The disappointment over this failure will
be felt more keenly in view of the fact that
a practical approach to peace was deemed
to have been in sight only a short while ago.
The concession of industrial unionism for
the mass production industries and the tenta-
tive acceptance of the proposal to curtail the
power Of the Executive Council to suspend
or expel affiliated unions between conven-
tons, appeared to have removed all basic
barriers which stood in the way of an accord.
The remaining problems, chiefly the question
of readmission of the c. I. o. unions into the
A. F. of L., to all practically minded people
appeared only as matters involving technique
and method rather than principle. Given
the will and an unbiased handling, these
problems, it seemed, could be settled by
diligent application within a reasonable time.
Unfortunately, such a will to peace and
a determination to settle the tragic and costly
controversy appear to have been lacking. The
amazing thing, during the final stage of the
now abandoned negotiations, was that the
logical and workable solution to lay aside for
the time being the question OF immediate
readmission but to settle first, through sub
committees, all jurisdictional conflicts and
claims which involve the newly-chartered
unions of the C. l. o. with existing A. F. of L..
organizations, and then enter as ar entire
group-was completely tossed out of the
window. Such an approach, it seems to us,
could not have been stigmatized by any
right-thinking person as treason or "de-
sertion" by either side.
Il Il =
We cannot think of another group in the
trade union family which will be more dis
heartened with the dismal outcome of these
negotiations than the membership Of our
union. Our union joined the c. l.. o. move
ment not for motives of gain or s~elf-interest.
We joined it because Of the principles and
the idealism involved in it, because we were
deeply concerned with the vindication of in
dustrial unionism in the mass production
industries as a great and effective lever for
the organization of the millions of workers
employed in those industries.
In the fight for this cardinal issue, our union
has done its share Fundamentally and loyal
ly. We had to face costly attacks upon us in
many places because we are part of the c..
I. O., and we gladly paid the price. But our
members had a right to hope and to expect
hat when peace appeared realizable or pos
sible it should and would be consummated.
May we add, too, that our union will not
abandon such hope despite the discouraging
outlook for peace at the present moment.
We refuse to believe that the labor move
ment will accept the status of permanent civil
war within its midst. We refuse to believe
that the living organism Of the trade union
movement will endure such a policy of sui
eide for ong.-International Ladies Garment
Workers.
