WHILE members of the house

thing to think about.
Here is what she wrote:

they last only few weeks or q

hourly wages, employers pick

where some who believe that
prosperity can be brought about

Is a continuous drive for an
ever increase in hourly wages.
Accompanying that drive Is a
demand for shorter hours. No
one can criticize the desire OF
everyone TO improve his condi-

amount which he can earn or
