Housing Problem
(Confinued From Paae One)

COHIfHufd from rage OHe/
you start to think that the country is
not large enough for two like you and
the only hope of surviving is to elimi-
nate the other fellow. Little fellows
also get this idea.
Big shots and half shots who hap
pen to catch you going across the
street when they want to turn the cor
ner with the light in your favor, would
do well to be placed in tanks instead
of automobiles. Then send them against
the Japs maybe they would get some
satisfaction.
One of the big problems here seems
TO be whether we can meet the pay
mentS with our present rate of pay,
of income tax, cost of bonds, increase
in rents, foods, and other items too
numerous to mention.
| Some of our members have talked of
a building and loan association to help
out our members who want to buy Il
home This may not be the right time
to start such ii thing, owing to deduc-
tions each pay for government bonds,
but these bonds may prove to be the
very thing needed as a down payment
on Il home. Then perhaps after the war
| is over we may be able to continue
this deduction on Il building and loan
association plan. From such fund
loans can be secured at very low
rate of interest 1t would be better
than giving large rates of interest to
these loans sharks who are getting
rich on the working mans money.
When will the workmen waken UP
You must soon, or the big sharks will
eat all the small fish
Many have found out that when they
show lot of interest i'm protecting
their rights, they are called undesir-
able citizens, sometimes communist
Yet the big shot can crush the fellow
who gives him IA little opposition, drive
him out, underSell him, cut the wages
of his own employees to Il point of star
yatiOn, fire the man who cries out
against exploitation, injustice and un
fairness. And the rOttener he is, the
more he is looked upon as Il great
American citizen.
The time has come when the fellow
in the small plant is being forced tI
close his shop. 1t doesn't seem a bi
fair. Now is the time for more man
power instead of machine power. Other
nations may destroy the Industries ruI
by machines. 1t is the time for the BIZ
shots To get the thought into thcil
heads that the workingman must re-
ccivr more consideration. The heads o
industry must show the intelligence o

Officers Of L. u. SO
BackedB Members
Remittance Of Fines As
sessed Against Men
Turned Down

Camden, n. J.-At the first meeting
in February, Local Union No. 30 had "a
hot time. A little trouble has been
stirring with the two old timers about
paying fines. The one brother who re-
ceived a gold watch from the firm
for % years of loyal service, has tried
to use his influence to diSOrganize our
local. He even tried to have the local
remit his fine and naturally was re-
fused.
The other brother paid his fine after
the meeting when he saw how the
members stood on the question. He is
a better sport though, as he paid IT,
but probably is still opposed to being
fined. Both of these men still owe dues
and assessments. The local has slS-
pended them but will not publish their
names in this paper for 30 days 1hey
had better stop and reconsider or they
will lose all, even their insurance
standing.
The membership wishes to thank
Brother James Solon for attending the
meeting and aiding this matter.
This O. G. was very disappointed tc
hear that only $500 was collected fol
the Infantile Paralysis National Foun
dation. Out of 10 members there
should have been a larger amount col
lected for such worthy cause.
Our delegate to the Sanitary Con
ference read letter and price list t'
the members. We believe if sanitary
members stick to their guns they ma!
get somewhere. The shop COMMITTEES
has contacted our anagement and re
quested that they attend the next con
ference.
The living cost has gone sky high
so Local so has instructed the shoI
committee to start negotiation with th'
Camden Pottery for Il 20 per cent in
crease in wages.
Brother Edward Sweitanski ha
been suspended from our local. o. c. 90

Standards"
The Survey emphasized the menace
of Increased cost of living to real
wages-wages expressed in purchasing
power. On this basis although wages
have increased considerably the pur-
chasing power of the workers pay en-
velope has scarcely held its own. 'The
best provision we have inserted III
agreements for adjusting wages to cost
of living" the Survey said, 'is as
follows: Every workers. wage shall
increase automatically each month by
the same amount as the increase in the

How often have we heard that express
