IF INDUSTRY IS WISE
Now is the winter of our discon
tent—and so we look to the prophets
January brings them, every {rear.
Shall we have prosperity? Shall we
have depression?
We shall have, largely, what we
make collectively. Optimists and
those who prefer to say the pleasant
thing predic a year better materially
than 1926. Truthfully, that, in most
important lines, does not seem prob
able. Important indications tend to
show a possible letting down to some
degree.
But if industry is wise it will pay
the highest possible wages so as to
keep the tide of products flowing as
rapidly as possible. Industry can
make our relative prosperity even bet
ter, if it will. But whether it will—
aye, there's the rub, the rub a dub
dub!
HOWDY, NEW OFFICIALS!
To the new sheriff, George Slon
eker the new prosecuting attorney
John Rogers the new county com
missioner, D. M. Dun woody the new
coroner, Dr. Ed Cook, the Press ex
tends oodles of good wishes for sue
cessful administrations of office to
such extent that the people of Butler
county will gladly vote re-election at
the end of the ensuing term.

A MAN'S LIFE
A man's life, it seems, is as long
as the sight of his eye. It is di
rectly relative to the size of the world
in which he lives it. Time was when
this world was limited to the visible
to what could be taken in by the
eye on its own.
Not now. The telescope came and
extended the world farther and far
ther into the sky, measuring off bil
lions of billions of additional miles of
elbow room in that direction. The
microscope came and measured off
figurative billions and billions of ad
ditional miles in the other direction
Out in the newly discovered reaches of
the upper world, the world of gigantic
forces, the telescope-aided eye learned
hundreds and hundreds of things that
helped to make the life of a man

Now comes pr. Mayo to announce
the ultra-microscope, which will
stretch out the average life to 70 or
more. There will be additional bil
lions of billions of hitherto unseen
enemies, of course, enemies so small
that even the microscope could not re
veal them. This will be additional
horror, but eventually additional se
curity, for seeing the enemies will be
the first step in conquering them.
This should be an especial lesson
for the apostles of all creeds of all
kinds of suppression. Nothing is ter
rible once it is dragged out in the
open and into the light. It is the hid
den things, the things covered up, that
do the damage.
STEEL TRUST WAS WRONG
The steel trust's division of $200,
000,000 of its $700,000,000 profits
among stockholders refutes the claim
that the 12-hour day and the seven
day week is necessary.
As late as June, 1923, Judge Gary
and associate directors of the Amer
ican Iron and Steel Industries, said
the 12-hour day could not be aban
doned until "there is a surplus of lab
bor available." But the change was
made without having three men for
every job.
The steel trust is a copper-riveted
industrial autocrat. Each employe of
this corporation must deal with it as
an individual. It is honeycombed
with spies and informers to acquaint
its management with any unrest
among workers, yet the men who di
rect this policy are not immune from
the penetration of trade union agi
tation.

Washington, D. C.—The Union La

Those wishing stock have until that

in Washington.

cash paid in, while total stock sub

000. It is expected that the figure
will be much higher by January 31

in the new reaches of the lower world,
the eye first found horrors and then
safety. It discovered billions of bil

them. With all this the life of man

But those who want to come in must
act quickly, because no stock can be
had after January 31."
Policies are in the hands of the
printer, expert insurance talent is be
ing engaged, an office staff organiz
ed, furniture ordered, rate book and
application forms prepared, every
thing incident to the opening of a
large business is being got under way
at top speed.
One of the amazing features of the
organization of The Union Labor
Life Insurance Company is the fact
that its stock had been sold and the
entire work of organization and pro
motion done on a cost of less than
three per cent, something practically
unheard of in corporation organization
and promotion. The company's offi
cers are proud of this economical and
efficient achievement.
