New York unions complain
that semi-skilled men working
on subways, .nailing up rouuli
forms for holding concrete, net
"only" 05 cents an hour. Un
ion labor thinks they ought to
get $1.50 an hour.
There has been progress since
the day not long ago when
only one man in the United
States, n New England carpen
ter, was nhlc to earn as much
as $1 a day. And he worked
12 hours for that dollar.
Chicago, "enjoying a wave
if municipal economy," dis
misses 1100 city employes and
will request 1000 more to re
sign. One huiidrcy and seventy
nine employes are dropped from
the health department, although
the commissioner says ''my der
jiartment is wrecked." Four
hundred and seventy-three po
licemen, young men recently
engaged, are discharged, after
six months' probation, which
seems hard.
.'
Chicago's budget is over sfS.'i,
000,000. New York's budget is over
$500,000,000, a considerable dif
ference. From all over the United
States, ('Meago included, men
and women come to spend their
money in New York shops, in
creasing Nev York real estate
values and taxes. That also
makes a difference.
If you printed half the pro
hibition news you could print
nothing else. Senator Borah
denounces certain men as Unit
ed States district attorneys,
saying: "The man who drinks
liquor in violation of law is un
fit to serve as district attor
ney.'" Perfectly true, but you must
have district attorneys, and
there not enough of the 100 per
cent pure kind.
