TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS is a long tim


especially so when it applies to one man
at the same job with the same company. On
Monday February 2nd 1920, Earle +. WOr-
Ellington, head Of the Linotype Department
of this company, started as young man in
our composing room. During those inter-
Vening years Mr. Worthington has seen this
business grow, has seen it pass through a
disastrous fire and to emerge with even more
modern equipment. He has famiGarized him
self with all composition requirements of our
customers, and through his experience has
been able to assist many Of them through
their needs of complicated form work and
the like. During his entire association with
this business he has been hard worker, a
steady producer and a real asset to the bust
ness. The publishers wish him many more
years of happiness and employment here as
he enters his tWenty-ninth year with us.

THE PRESENT INDICATIONS are that
the scheme of the American Federation of
Labor to raise funds for the purpose of de-
feating Members of Congress who voted for
the new labor law, is rapidly losing its sup
port among the rank and file of members
of labor organizations.
One editorial writer says that "funda-
mentally, labor's grippe against the continued
price rise is based on the imitation of money.
Therefore, it is not at all strange that the
ALL has switched to the new idea that it
can control credit and thereby control prices.
The ALL is openly advocating the mainte-
nance of a balance that it expects to bring
about by helping the Marshall Plan, and at
the same time keep a money supply and cred
1t balance with production so that prices will
be. stabilized"
All Of these issues seem to draw the coun-
try back to where it was years ago when it
was trying to figure out the necessities of
balancing wages and prices, and at the same
time lodging imitation curves. The principal
labor leaders seem to be more interested in
preventing imitation today than at any time
in recent years.
Nevertheless, labor generally is continu-
ing its movement for a Is cent minimum
Wage-which may be dream that will come
true II political plans in Washington succeed
IN ratlOning essential commodities, and at the
same time offering tax relief for loW-income
groups. That is the reason that prompted
president Truman to suggest that all low
incomes be rebated $40. That scheme might
have made better impression if it had not
been construed as $40 bid for votes for the
Democratic Party.
In any event, despite all the political con-
FUSION IN washington, the country as a whole
Is moving forward on safer ground. And
despite all the crOakers you may put this fact
IN your pipe and smoke it: The affairs of the
people are getting better in these early DAYS
OF 1913. The Iaft-Hartley Labor Act has
helped the situation.
