VALUABLE REQUEST

Measured in money, the bequest made to the Denver public library in the will of the late Mike Stancheff Bulgarian immigrant and former railroad section work er isn't much It is only $13933. But actually the li- brary received greater valuable gift. It was all Stancheff had-he total of his railroad trement benefits-and it was given in appreciation of the privileges he had enjoyed there especially in read ing books on Abraham Lincoln. Appropriately the be- quest is being used to buy Lincoln books.
 Immigrants to the United States often have greater appreciation and better understanding of what priv iege it is to be American citizen and live in the United States than native-born Americans have. Too many people born in the United States take for granted the liberties and opportunities they enjoy They don't know how fortunate they are.

 Suppose the workers are earning an average wage of $1 per hour The company offers wage increase of 12 cents but the union turns down the offer because they think government board may give them more. They go out strike and stay out for eight weeks. Each worker loses average of $358 At the end of that time the government board awards Is cents, 6 cents than the company offered The company cepts the award but it will take the workers nearly three years work before this extra cents will amount
