THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1920
Special Election Ballot
Mille Lacs County, Minnesota
To express your choice put a cross-mark [X in one of the
squares at the right.
For Changing the County Seat to
the Village ofMilaca
The Unskilled Unemployed.
Never in the country's history has
unskilled labor had such an inning as
now, and never has it flouted its for
tune as now. "Wages have doubled
and service has been cut in half," is a
common saying among employers of
common labor.
In the federal employment agency
in this city today are jobs for a thous
and men. From one to three hundred
men come daily to look over the offer
ings, and most of them go away to
remain idle. From fifty to sixty-five
cents an hour is offered for unskilled
work on highways, on railroatls, for
chore work, or 'for any task lasting
from a day to a year.
Twenty-five calls daily for farm
hands are received, and usually not
more than five or six respond. The
wages offered range from seventy to
eighty-five dollars a month with board,
room and laundrythe equivalent to
forty or fifty dollars more. To mar
ried couples is offered a hundred dol
lars a month with house, garden and
other substantial privileges. Where
the employment is at a distance the
railroad fare is usually paid.
Recently a call came for three men
to carry mail. Their duties would be
to sit on a wagoiTseat, drive about a
little and wait a good dealno lifting,
no care of horses. The job was near
to doing nothing, and the pay was a
hundred and fiive dollars a month.
Yet the agency had great difficulty in
finding three men out of three hundred
applicants.
During the war slacking of this kind
was a misdemeanor, and the men wil
fully unemployed had to fight or work.
This slacking element is as sore a load
as it was_.during the war. It aggra
vates every economic evil it eats what
its betters produce and spoils more
than it consumes.
It is a pity that pressure cannot be
brought to bear on this disloyal mass
to make it bear its fair share of the
load under which the world is
nowHogs,
staggering.Minneapolis Journal.

The Ladylike Mr. Bryan.
Back in 1896 William Jennings Bry
an was demanding the double stand
ardof mdney. In a speech the other
day he was insisting that a political
issue be made out of the double stand
ardof morals. If he has his way the
San Fraicisco convention will pass
resolutions declaring for a single
standard of virtue and fixing the age
of consent at 57. He is going to cam
paign Nebraska on the issues of equal
suffrage, a bone-dry world and a single
standard of morality. William is get
ting to be a perfect lady, but it ought
not to be necessary for him to expose
his program to the careless mercies of
a political convention. What does a
San Francisco democrat know about
morals?Los Angeles Times.
