J|« Where with our
f'Ai) Little Hatchet
we
fe|| the truth
about many things, sometimes pro
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly
If everyone agreed with everyone
else this would be a gray old world
and no mistake. Everyone would
either like Hotsy Totsy songs or else
everyone would prefer the Soldiers'
'Chorus from Faust.
Everyone would either like fish on
Friday or else they wouldn't.
Everyone would make love in about
the same way and everyone either
would get into a trade union or else
everyone would not.
And that surely would be the very
last thing anyone would want.
Whereupon it is proper to go to
the mat with a certain well known
editor of a trade union journal who
writes snappily to the effect that
we work harder than ever before in
the history of the world, even though
we have more labor-saving machinery
than ever. What, he wants to know,
is the good of labor-saving machinery
if we all have to work harder than
ever.
Dears sirs and brothers, will some
one please feed that chap something
that will soothe his savage breast so
his head can get in some straight
thinking?

The kingdom of hokum is large and
many are the inhabitants thereof—
plenty without labor editors joining
the mo$t y:
There Is more Iab6r-Sftvlhg ftia
chinery than ever.
But, we do NOT work harder than
ever.
And, we HAVE more than ever.
That's straight and everyone knows
it, though it surely does not fit in
with the philosophy of despair to
which some benighted mortals still
cling with that avidity with which the
small boy clings to the stick from
which the lollypop stuff has ioag since
vanished.
Back 100 years. Not far, as world
history goes. The work day—12 and
14 hours. F6od, simple, hard to get,
often insufficient. No plumbing, no
modern heating, no telephones, no
ready-made clothes, no automobiles,
no electric lights. Tallow candles.
Plastered walls only for the wealthy.
Grain cut with cradles, threshed with
flails, cleaned with crude fanning
mills, or with nature's breezes. Home
spun. Boots that never fitted any
one's feet. Imprisonment for debt.
The tragic ".bound" boy. And so on
in every phase of life.
We do NOT work harder today
than ever and we have infinitely more.
It does no good to exaggerate about
such things. "The good old days"
would lose their enchantment were
they to be thrust upon us now. These
are the good days. Those to come
will be better.
It's full time to quit the philosophy

Costs Drop Materials Cosi
Less Than Six Months
I-*-' 'Ago y i
By International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.—The materials
necessary for the construction of
six-room house, either of the frame
or brick variety, now are cheaper than
at any time this year. They have
been dropping gradually throughout
the year, according to the department
of commerce.
On October 1 the materials for
frame house averaged in cost 92 per
cent above the cost level of the year
1923. The materials necessary aver
aged 93 per cent above 1923. On Sep
tember 1 both classes of materials
were 95 per cent above 1923.
Six months ago frame house ma
terials were 98 per cent above 1913
and brick house materials 100 per
cent above the mark for 1913.
If this gradual decline took place
in a season of slack demand, it would
not be surprising. However, demand
for building materials has been the
most brisk in history with building
figures breaking previous records
month after month. Some sections of
the country in nine months of this
year built as much or more than in
the full year 1924.
Observers 3ay that the price de
cline is the result of keen competition
among sellers. Active demand has
enabled them to operate on a small
margin of profit and the buyer is get
ting the benefit.
American Federation of Labor con
vention re-elects President William
Green and entire executive council
adjourns with record of constructive
achievement.
More than 75,000 farms abandoned
since 11*20, census bureau figures
show.
Telegraphers, station agents and
towermen of Atlantic Coast Line
trike engine service men quit work
n Western Maryland railroad.
American Federation of Labor con
vention asks inquiry into gigantic
bakery merger.
British Miners' Federation protests
against arrest of communist leaders
of despair, crow-bait philosophy that
it is. It was the dire prediction of
morbid men and this is NOT a mor
bid age.
