Who's Taking About Those
Good Old Days?

lust for minute at the beginning of this war the Com
nts have started let's where headed had we
been nermted to live in peace So many things need I'M
proving so many folks have real complaint we don olteh
Get chance to stand back and look the overall picture
Like they say we're busy looking at the trees we never

We've got chance to take this long view today The
Labor Department has just out with special annVe
sarv issue of it's Monthly Labor Review tracing % years
progress of American labor This issue gives us look at
how we've been doing in the long run 1t shows that we've
come long way in improving lives and the lives OF our
families since the good old days when Grandpa was In MS
prime.
We all hear lot of talk about those good old days.
Wages were then, but prices NoWthStand-
ing presenday prices Grandpa and Grandma would nave
thought our life heaven earth For example, even
after taking the higher prices into account we're earning
twice much the as Grandfather dld back IN
1900 We're working one-thrd less hours week and still
turning out times work per hour than he did
We have to 20 hours week leisure Out of every
100 of teenagers SO have been to high school, Only
out of 100 got there IN GrandpaS day.
Grandpa had spend 83 per cent of his earnings just
food housing and clothes Today the family has
almost 40 cent left after paying the grocer the adou
and buying clothes for the family,
We get a lot done for us than Grandma did
There's the baker the aundrynan the mllkman the dry
cleaner who do lot of work that Grandma had to Go by
hand for her family And, of course, Grandpas family
couldn't afford horse and buggy
Today we expect to live longer too Back in 1900,
man could expect to die before he 49, before
she Today if we're healthy We'll live to be
65 and the ladies until they're II.
All this the Monthly Labor Review credits to the great
abundance of the natural of country to pro-
gressive capital and more intelligent management And fin
ally writes Evan Cague Commissioner of Labor Statistics,
there is the American worker VINO hmse has been an I'M
portant factor in the high productivity of American indus
try The workers in this country have been mobile more
adaptable and efficient than workers other lands
willing to accept change and to initiate it, 1t is
not that workers have felt mpeed to work harder and long
but rather the oppostethat they have been alert to
devise ways of making the work easier and the day shorter
On the whole labor in the United States has welcomed labor
least of the benefits in the form of higher wages and
shorter hours"
Well let's hope we have success during the next
80 years-the Commies permitting.

Public Record

Michigans Attorney General Stephen j Roth told the
Michigan Press Association last week that the press has
legal right to to public records which it has
long considered itself free to inspect They are public only
when described by law.
The Rhode Island Supreme Court rejected suit of the
Providence Journal Company to compel officials of Paw
tucket r. L. to allow inspection Of tax abatement records.
The Connecticut Supreme Court denied the right to
inspect records of the Tongton Board of Education the
assistant city editor of the Waterbury Republican.

What great wrong have they done to you?
I asked damn-er of the Jew.
His answer was don't you hear people say,
They control everything in the U. 5. A.!
He said that his dislike for them is mate
But that's wrong it's the evil habit they cultivate
And the stories they tell foolish they're funny,
When they say the Jews have all the money.
Is Henry Ford John D., or Mellon Jew?

Of the Gentes who have most OF our gold -
All our great industries Gentile-controed
And when you speak of bankers and banks,
You will find three Hebrews way up in the ranks.

Does Morgan, Giannni, Lamont, Chase and Sloan
Knock off the interest when they 0. K. your loan?
And who are the makers of powder and shot?
If the DuPonts jewish then Moses was not
And this is another wrong biased bleat-
When they yell about the Jews controlling meat
Cudahy, Armour, Wilson, Libby, Mcneil,
Swift, HORNED, Hammond-no Jew blood reveal
List up the stockholders in the chain grocery Stores
You will find to one Jew-Gentiles by the
There isn't much left for the Jew it would seem,
He may control textiles, have voice in the
And now for religion-the GoOk Book say Ia
That would be heathens but for Jew named Isaiah
And what were Matthews Mark Luke, John and Paul?
The Prophets and Apostles were Jews-one and all.
There are good and bad in every creed or race,
And the good Jews try to keep the bad in their place.
Sixteen million Jews in a-in all this great sphere,
And only damned coward that minority would fear.
