the saine. rates of pay, which the rail-

• ;To. say theleast,
the firemen are
,
taking a very narrow, outlook on the
situation; which is attributable' purely
to the advance of engineeringa science

employed in the industry. Fortunately
the:new ;machine 'received widespread
acceptance, • for within a remark-
ably short time the printing industry
was employing almost double the
working force it had used in thedays
of hand -set type. New methods' and
resultant econgirlies in .working 'time
made the product • of the industry
available. .to even more widespread
!markets. Within a few years 'the
printers who had slavedaway at :5.00
a week by hand, were operating the
new machines for five to seven times
that figure and enjoying
the work.
Jxactly the sane situation
has .ex-
isted 'in the weaving indcistr T in the
mines, the mills andfactories' of every
progressive nation in the world and
each of these 'niinOr revolutions has
added another page to the !history of
our progress. ' P'tirther, it could be
• said that every one of these steps,
hopefully accepted by a progressive
people, have, provided the standard of
national income which nowpermits us
to pay the wages of firemen on loco-
motives which have no fires.
If the retrograde attitude of the'
firemen's union prevails, the modern
world will beprovided p. o idecl with irrefutable
proof that organized labor no(longer
ry
se es the best interests of humanity,
It will prove,
on the contrary, that the

AWAY WE 60 AGAIN
A recent anl"1ouncenien:t, from one
_of -the major paper companies, indicat-

that the price of newsprint will be
increased by:$4.00 a ton shortly. The

There was a tremendous outcry
