ADOPT RESOLUTION VS..
OLD-AGE AMENDMENT

Editor, The Times: Whereas
private industries fail to employ
the unemployed.
Whereas our youths are be-
coming criminals for want of
employment.
Whereas the criminals of our
state institutions are provided
with food, clothing, housing,
medical care, recreation and
clean laundry.
Whereas Governor Clarence ID.
Martin in his message to the
legislators suggests amendments
to the state social security law.
Whereas such amendments
would place the aged of our state
in status below the criminal.
Therefore, be it resolved that
we Christian citizens and tax
payers of Pierce county assem-
bled at the Falkland mission
this 25th day of January, 1889.
protest against any changes in
our state social security law that
Will deprive the aged of our state
OF any necessaries or comforts
OF life.
Resolve that we appeal to all
Christian citizens of our state
with faith in Christian principle
of righteousness to protect the
action of our governor and such
legislators who approve the
amendment.
Resolve we consider the gov
ernor's amendment as inhuman
and void of Christian principle.
Resolve that a copy of this
resolution be forwarded to the
press, the governor, the speakers
of both Legislative houses and
chairman of the social security
committee.

chief battle-ground.
Severe storms on the Atlantic

Those first aid stations you
see along the highways are run
on purely voluntary basis by
owners of the gas stations, res-
taurants or other roadside stands
where they are located. The at
tendants take their training from
the Red Cross on their own time
and take calls and render aid
without pay. The Red Cross has
jurisdiction over them.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

way one goes the other is sure
To follow. Erickson arrives at
the conclusion that more pro-
duction" Is the solution to an
increase in real wages pros
perity, etc.
1t is true that since capitalism
went on trial in % the national
production has tapered down.
Curtailed production. however,
has not been caused by organ
izations intent on raising wages
as Erickson implies. but by the
fact that labor is deprived of the
greater part of the products
produced, necessitating periodi-
cal shut-downs until the accu-
INFLATED products are sold or
destroyed.
Juggling wages and prices
was the pet scheme of Bob
LaFollette. Under the NRA we
had initiation that brought an in
crease in prices generally but
the code wages remained sta
tionary. Every housewife can
testify that the wages then did
not increase with prices. Again
they can testify that living
standards are lower today de-
spite labor's ability to produce
more with ultra modern mass
production facilities. Neither the
rate of production nor the rise
and fall in prices determine the
wage of labor.
The real wages" Erickson
speaks about are simply a
monetary expression of labor's
purchasing power To argue
that prices deterpline wages or
visa versa. is to argue that
prices determine prices, which
means exactly nothing. The
wage is a price for labor just as
81 is the price of hat.
Wages IN good or bad times,
are determined basically by the
necessaries, food clothing and
shelter required to maintain and
reproduce labor.
