Sandusky, whose workers, men,

in Personal Income Taxes.
All this sounds as if the little
man who tolls by the hour, selling
the only thing he has to Sell-his
labor-hasn't enough burdens to
carry. But, according to some of
our Washington leaders of today,
he must be burdened more and
more because there are so many OF
us workingmen and its so easy to
take it away.
The unfairness of a sales tax.
which taxes everyone equally re-
gardless of income is the fact that
a family with an income of 81 900
a year would be taxed 11.8% of its
income, while a family with an
income of $500 year would be
taxed only 4.6% of its income.
The higher the income, the less
percentage of it would be paid in
this sales tax plan.
Had Enough?
This is a true stOry-so help us!
We will be merciful and with
hold names, but this is the way 1t
happened. A C. /. o. Union in one
Of Ohio's smaller towns COM
planned to management that some
factory stairways were dangerous
"a number of workers had tripped
on them. The safety-conscious Lo-
cal Union people pointed out that
the tread on the steps was too
narrow and did not meet the Ohio
Safety Code legal requirements.
AS is the habit of management
on too many occasions, it refused
to do anything about it.
But the Union was still uncon-
WINGED and undaunted.
And here is where the hand of
fate took over. Right after the
Factory and Building inspector
made his recommendation, this is
what happened-crlsscross our
hearts:
1. The woman Inspector who re-
ported that the steps were not
dangerous fell down the same
steps and had to be taken to first
aid.
2. The General Supervisor under
whose jurisdiction the condition
was not corrected, fell down the
same steps and broke his thumb.
Our latest report is that the
company is fixing the steps forth
with. Apparently somebody had
enough.
A letter comes this week from
Jacob Clayman, Secy. and Treas,
Ohio c. !. o. Council, in which he
states, II have had the opportu-
nifty to read your articles in the
Ottawa County News, and I think
they are highly readable and in
structive" :. :. :. ''It's a good piece

Do you wonder why there is SC
much Juvenile Delinquency te
day? Mr.. Whitman in his series OF
articles in the Toledo Blade, "Van
dalism," seems to know the an
swers and it will be interesting to
read just what his solution to the
problem will be.
It has been said that the real
social problem today is mothers in
industry, with the result that we
have so many "door-key" children.
Children that form a sad picture

mat or in the mail Dor. They
would remain in a HOME but not
in an empty, cheerless house. They
wander into streets and then be-
gins the trouble that ends up in

er is unable to earn enough to
keep his family living a decent
life because of steadily increasing
high cost of living with relatively
low wages that cause the fathers
buying power to become less, day
by day.
Good, healthy community activ-
tiles, sports, better schools and
church attendance will help but
home life is the greatest influ-
ence.
Will our present government
and industry awaken to the essen
tial role they can play in easing
the economic squeeze" on our ma
tons breadwinners that so seri-
ously effects homelife and chill

Announcing School
The Ohio C. /. o. Council will
conduct another educational class,
this time in Columbus, for union
leaders October 18th to 18th, in
elusive. This class will concern
W0rkman's and Unemployment
Compensation exclusively and a
week later, October 20 to 22nd,
will offer advanced course on the
same subject.
To quote Jacob Clayman, Secy.-
Treas. of Ohio C. /. o. Council,
who announced the classes, "The
school will concern itself with spe-
cific and detailed problems in
both Workmen's Compensation
and Unemployment Compensation.
You will be able to learn from
the experts in the state and nation
the answers to many of the per-
picking problems as they arise in
your shop daily"
1--WE can assure you sound in
formation, which will be highly
educational and instructive to
your delegates and most useful to
the membership of your organiza-
tion."
Here again is an opportunity
for our union to educate our lead
ers so they can better lead us.
The better informed our leaders
are, the better they will be able
to serve us.
Since there have been so many
questions on Workmen's Compen-
sation and Unemployment Com.
pensation asked by our Local 497
members, let's take advantage of
this opportunity to obtain correct
information.
Be ready to discuss and act up.

By {. (. Edoor

UNIF o r M Journalist
and war correspondent Rich
ard Harding Davis was the
most fastidious newspaper
man of his time, a distinc-
ton which almost cost him
his life during World War I.
Davis was in Brussels
when the Germans came
through. His PASS permitted
him the freedom of the city,
but not beyond. Despite this
restriction. he decided to
follow the German army. He
had travelled almost so miles
when he was picked up by a
German officer. The latter
examined the correspond
ent's papers, then barked:
What do you mean by
telling me you are a journal
iSt? You are a British officer
and out of uniform. Do you
know what that lleans?"
what are you talking
about?" said Davis, visions
of a firing squad appearing
before him. II tell you I'm
an Americana"
ooh yes?" said the other.
"Then how do you explain
thiS?"
The German pointed to
the photo on the passport.
At sight of it, Davis heart
sank. The uniform he was
wearing in the photo was
one he had designed himself
during the Boer War-and
which later had been adopt
ed by the British army.
