and Confectionery Workers’ International Union of America.•HIGH” WAGES HIT MINNESOTA WOMEN Tho loudly acclaimed high wages which it is alleged exist throughout the United States arc not prevalent among women and boy wage earners in Minnesota.This is revealed by the wago statistics presented in tho 1925-1020 biennial report of the Industrial Commission of Minnesota.Of tho 88,78-1 women and boys covered by tho report., 8,157 received less than |12 per week; 9,110 received $12 and under $15; 11,088 received $15 and under $20 a week and over.The average weekly wage for Minnesota as a whole was $17.87.Tho report does not state to what extent 1 lie 88,78-1 wago cantors invested their savings in slocks and bonds.—Flood and coal striko cause do-creaso in railroad froiglit loadings.The workers, organized and unorganized, constantly strive to materially improve their economic position.As productive units employed in the creating of wealth, they contend, that they are entitled to compensation for tho services which they render socie-’T, commensurate with their needs.Under the present system of industrial organization, where tho overwhelming number of men engaged in production are employed and paid wages, the first effort in tho direction of securing adequate wages, is to adopt tho system of collecfivo bargaining through tlio instrumentality of the hade union.From lime to time, as conditions change, and high er social standards becomes tho vo gue, (lie workers through their organization, insist on more substantial remuneration.In tho measure tliati their services are required, and their organization is strong, are they successful in obtaining concessions in b°th wages and working conditions.The leaders of organized labor, are content to proceed along certain well delined lines, which have hitherto been found best calculated to promote the workers’ welfare.The capitalistic objectors to the I labor union and tho demands made on behalf of its members, fulminate against so called exactions of the or ganized wage receivers, on the ground that they want too much.They believe, that the worker is entitled to no more than what will purchase him tho linrest necessaries of life.They cannot understand why tiie worker whose sole capital consists of his ability to labor, should ash for a wage that not only, permits him to maintain his family in a certain degree of comfort, but help to make provision for the time, when owing to competition, lie will no longer be aille to obtain employment in his particular craft nr calling, that the younger members, can much more easily’ secure.The radical critic of industry, as at present carried on, endeavors to convince the workers, that only by the substitution of the State for the employer group or group of employ ers, will it be possible to bring about a change, whereby the worker, will not only lie paid a wage based upon certain living standards, but lie cared for when he reaches an age, making it difficult for him to produco as efficiently as he could wheu he was younger.The radical with some show of logic on his side, points to tho huge amount of wealth, which tho workers creating their labor, and tho injustice of enabling a few men, to got more than a reasonable share of the tidal product.Tlic economist and statistician who favours tho present system of indus-trihl production and distribution, seeks to counter the argument of tho radical, by pointing out, that an equal division of (he national income amongst those who work, would not in any serious measure, increase the share of the producer.Tire reasoning of the economist and statistician, belonging to tho orthodox- school, is fallacious, siuco they entirely overlook one very-important fact, and that is, that the workers are unable to obtain an equitable share out of the total national income, because of the millions of non-producers that, share in the distribution.In a pamphlet published in 1919, entitled ‘‘The Division of tho Product of Industry”.‘‘An analysis of national income bixforo the war”.Professor Arthur L.liowley who occupies the chair of statistics in the University of London, has analysed •the total national income and deduces therefrom the conclusion, that the net amount that would be paid to tho worker if an equal division of the product took place, would be so insignificant, as to hardly merit any consideration.He declares: ‘‘Wages can be raised temporarily by legislation or by the shock tactics of special groups of man whoso services for tho moment arc essential.Put no indi dual or company can bo forced to employ people at a loss, and there is evident danger of unemployment on a large sealo if workmen put too high a value on t hoir services.” It.is true, that no employer can bo forced to employ men or women unless ho can sell what he produces under competitive or monopolistic conditions, at a profit.That however, is not tho question.Tho advocates of a more equitable distribution or division of tho total product, point out, that as a result of tho maintaining of costly armed forces, the wealth which would othorwsio be consumed or used to benefit tho people, is expended in tho maintaining of armies and navies, and purchase- -of war equipment, that annually costs millions of dollars or pounds and is entirely unproductive.Not only is tho wealth which the worker creates and is comprised in tho national income, uselessly expended in the purchase of vessels of war and the equipment of armies, but hundreds of thousands of ublo bodied men, are employed in doing what is economically useless world! itf tlujy wore employed and became, part of tho working population of tho country, not only would their labor, entitle them to a wage from what was produced, but they would ease the burden which rests upon the productive units of the nation.From an economic standpoint, every person who is housod, fed, and clothed, and who doos not give an equivalent in labor, by hand or brain, is depriving tkoso who are so employed, Bij BERNARD ROSE ot part of tho remuneration which they would otherwise get.Tho nonproducer, regardless of whether he is producer, i- living at the expense of liis follow citizens productively employed.Professor Rowley thinks, that if production is increased, that it would bo easier for the employer to find markets, and that a share of the increased production would go to the worker.But how much?Increased production, while if would in a very slight ratio, benefit the producer, would, under present conditions, make a larger amount available for i.'.Vltundil'iires in the; -maintaining of larger armed forces, or an additional ¦number of government employees, who would bo rtiken from the productive class, and become members nf that, which lives at the expense of the industrial and wealth producing clement of the nation.Fiat,istlonl evidence^ cannot; do away with the palpable fact, that a country liho Great Britain, dependent in (lie last analysis, upon tho wealth produced by it* wage earning citizens, takes from the total product or national income, hundreds of millions to keep in existence, not only the largest navy in 1 ho world, but a considerable army.Notwithstanding tho Great Britain today, has res that cost huge sums, eellor of the Exchequer provision in hi of maintaining last war, armed for-Tlie Chan must make budget, for tho cost these forces.If.lie was not compelled to tax the people of Great Britain, to secure the necessary monies to maintain ihose forces and purchase new equipment and build new warships ,and nreopUmes, the people would not be mi highly taxed, and out of ttie total annual product the worker would receive a greater sliaro than lie dues today.It should lie the endeavor of statesmen in all highly organized countries, to abolish, or lyduees to a mere fraction of the total national wealth the Cost of maintaining i,uprodue;tive irmed forces that really serve no use-nil purpose.Armies and navies arc machines that have one purpose in view — destruction.Though it is the fashion to talk of preparedness and keeping our powder dry, the last war demonstrated, that preparedness is the surest way to bring about a conflict, causing the loss of millions of valuable lives and tho uneconomic expenditure of billions of treasury.All who have humanity’s best interests at heart, should strive to promot*> disarmament and absorbing tho members of the disbanded armies and navies into the productive popula-t ion.With our present methods of production, tho per capita wealth produced, can be made sufficient, to not only give the worker a fair wage, but a share in excess of his ordinary needs, which he can store up, to maintain himself, when ho can no longer work, through ago or physical disability.If Professor Bowley applied his analysis to the United States, he would find, that an equitable division of the national 'income would give every worker in that country, an income considerably in excess of what a great many arc getting today.Although tho United States Is the most prosperous country in the world in proportion to its numbers, it has a far smaller army and navy than Great I frit a in and certain pther European countries.Hence, tho amount taken from tho national income, is less than that voted by the Parliament of Great Britain to maintain its army and navy.NIon and women are realizing, that if we are to make progross along social and economic lines, we must strive to transfo-m tht mentality of mankind, so that tho very thought of maintaining hi tdLuese, millions of men, whose only function is to learn and be prepare for war, will bo regarded as atavism.As this mentality makes its influence felt, the thought or contemplation of war, will become so nbhoront that it will lie relegated to the heap of barbaric rolics that strew mankind’s march upward to higher things thus leaving Governments free to think in terms of welfare rather than war.M cslmount Division is particularly happy in ils choice of a Liberal candidate in the person of MR.ALLAN SMTTJI who has undertaken to uphold the principles of Liberalism in the present election.Mr.Allan Smith needs no introduction in West mount either as a successful man of business or as a devoted friend of the workingman’s cause.For years ite has been KMMMumamia» : ! ; -, mm m amount one of our best collaborators in I he Labor World.11 is pen could always he relied upon to deal exhaustively with tho best of causes.It will readily be sceu that he understands social problems from every point of view.As a man of affairs bo knows bow to protect tiie launching and development of big enterprises, while at the saute time be keeps in touch with tho needs of workers, sharing their mentality and aspirations.So often has ho given proof of his attachment and devotion lo the working class that lie has been reproached in certain quarters, and falsely accused of being a radical of au extreme type.If by coming to (lie defence of tiie humble, the weak and tho - .• iconics a radical, then Mr.Allan Smith must be written down as a radical of first aid.And who would not be proud ot any title so fastened upon him for uplifting tin: fallen?Not old) lias Mr.Allan Smith by word and pen given iinwuveriii"' proof of bis failli in uplift, but lie lias never hesitated to accept the personal saerihces and grave business risks unfortunately involved in championing the cause of the masses.Always in the breach, he has for years taken un untiring part in the discussion of all public questions whether in federal, provincial or municipal affairs.Hardly a public assembly has been possible for such a long time, without finding Mr.Allan «until in the forefront with his plea for justice to those who needed it——to render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar., .Every manual, commercial or clerical worker should join Mr Allan Smith in bis efforts to influence the polities of this Province always in th°ten7ard direction.With such a man, it matters little what party all illations lie may find convenient, for (be impulse of his heart will use them for the highest ideals.Electors should follow Mr.Smith’s lead to I’lace social justice above till other considerations.That, would be a signal victory to be represented in 1 lie Quebec Legislature by a man who thinks ot tho masses first, last, and always.Every woman would be well advised to trust Mr.Smith’s sincerity in claiming the fullest public suffrage for her.Every elector should show the same devotion to our most precious cause that Mr.Allan Smith has by voting for him on Monday next.ALLAN SMITH Liberal Camlklato for Wc oppressed, every brave man jlya Toujours une Raison/ U • > Le Parfum du Houblon” Choisi avec le plus

upholsterers—wtuse work is called for on an extensive scale in modern vessels.Until the enactment of the present law longshoremen and other harbor workers, numbering several hundred thousand, have been iu a peculiar position.If injured ou a dock, a longshoreman received tho benefits of the state workmen’s compensation law, but if injured on a boat or in connection therewith, his only redress was to sue under the admiralty law of the common law.THE ELIXIR OF LIFE ALLAN L.SMITH A cliauge from the daily surroundings of life does the heart good and.we find it so, when, after a week of hard work amid the busy throng of city life, it comes to the week-ends; we can go far into the country and dream our dreams of perfect bliss.Life to us then is really worth living and we go back to the stool or bench with removed youth and so re-enter the busy life with fresh vigor.Wo like to explore new country and the delightful problem presents itself as to where we should go.Many delightful spots that that are to be found near this famous city of ours, arc easy of access and at no great distance.This alone is an inducement 1 'r one to get out into “God’s country” to en.ioy anew the sound of the brooks or roam at large through the countryside.Your weekend trip can be arranged bv the Canadian Pacific Railway who have special faciliU.i-s awaiting the tourist desirous of spending a holiday at little cost, owing to special low week-end fares in effect to it great number of beautiful Summer resorts.Call upon F.C.Lvdon, City Passenger Agent, Mil St.James St., phone llArbour 4211 or

matters politically are small, unimportant and parochial, while the big thing is the Federal Government.Provincial Government matters may be parochial and that is just what makes the Provincial Government important.It deals with our daily life, our material comforts such as roads, our mental development such as schools and it- may have something to do with the way we go to heaven.Our Federal Government deals with such contentious things as tariffs, tariffs lead to concessions aud privileges in our own us well as other countries.Through tariffs wo get tangled up iu world affairs, especially, when and where the brick bats are flying, so our Federal Government must dealt with defense aud offense, soldiery, armaments, militarism aud wars.As a little sideshow, of coarse tlio Federal Government must be prepared to deal with other problems of tariffs, such as customs scandals aud probe into these aud other messes.To be fair, it may be admitted that those who study intimately any phase of our social relations aud present their findings to either Government, will be referred from one to the other “owing to the provision contained iu ihe B.N.A.act,” but this will occur more frequently with the Federal than with the Provincial Government.It is hardly too much to say therefore, that our troubles originate with the Federal Government and our blessings come from the Provincial.Of course there will be objection taken, if not offense, to this statement; nevertheless, further consideration will find an element of truth therein.And it does not run counter, but quite in harmony with the statement, also rather dogmatic, that the fundamental function of Government is to keep the ways open aud maintain equity.Broadly speaking, if Government confined itself to them, there would bo little trouble for itself.Most of its troubles follow the dabbling into other affairs beyond these two.Be this as it may—Provincial Governments are important governments and more attention should be paid to them, if not less to Federal Governments.But the subject of this article is our friend Allan Smith, the Taschereau candidate fur Westmount.How Allan Smith understands the relative importance of the two Governments to an unusual degree — no one ku vs their different .functions better and no one has given Government and Social Problems more study, uor more sincere consideration.No one eau bring acknowledge to bear upon public questions, gained from wider reading aud personal contact than Allan Smith.111s writings have shown a broad sympathy and his upright dealings have placed him in a very uuiquo position in the community.Allan Smith is no man’s enemy, and everybody’s friend.Why not profit by Allan Smith’s intimate knowledge of public affairs —make the utmost use of him.Scud him as Wesmount’s representative to Quebec, and be an example to other constituencies to make the best use of their public spirited citizens.Go—and vote for Allan Smith.SPIltEA.A LAND AKIN TO PARADISE To the north lie tho Laurcntians, amid which no hand but Nature’s has sown tho flowers, the thickest, aud the fir trees.Only a few hours juuruoy, aud you are
