Thomas Scott, editor aad emia of the Chatham, New Jersey, Préss, by the same token, points out that. we never real- ize how much we depend on modern con- and services until they are stopped by strikes, nor how the labor sit- uation today “is not a mass revolt by un- derpaid workers .... but a social revolu- tion, in which a well organized political sup is using a minority of the working and women to capture the reins of nment and enforce upon us a for- ri ideology, colectivist at best, but frank- ly ¢communistic, as an ultimate goal. “Morley in ai pay envelgpe is not the or only issug, abst: ake Lhe. strikes are, called t power, po itica rity. power, Pe veniences A ei MfcSstott fighthave-addedthat-Amere n ideals never included the vii ‘oh ay - ninprity $0 deny any man the pr ieee | ot working «r-the-privilege..of..joining..ox..no’ Ming any specified’ organization: Re pred f y minorities brings aie ciaBreyolutions, but looking bac ane istory, loody re Tev well.

Some of them carried radio trans- mitters, from which the Japanese ex- pected to learn of air currents and of the’ distances travelled by the balloons. The net result of the campaign was the-killing of six persons in Oregon, where a picnic crowd came upon and exploded bomb and “one or two small ground firés.” Thirty-two bombs or bomb frag- ments were found on the North Ameriean Continent and there were 407 reports of thesighting of one or more of thé balloons. + When...real. estate are paid actively. becomes . active, = Minoritiés, “enjbying freedom Adee responsibilities, no less important than those of majorities. When public issucs are settled solely upon the basis of the probable effect upon yoters the solution is apt to be wrong. There is an old saying that, “Grati- tude is a lively appreciation<of favors to come”. In other words, the past is quickly forgotten. 242° Ei tgpe a long range poir of aT vurgfuthre hingés upon the outco! a CAMPAIGNING FOR PRIMARY Campaigning in Monroe county for the primaries to be held in May has not | flared into the open since early in January, and today there is more talk about the race for state senator than for the house of representatives. But, judging from what The Citizen has been told,, at least two of the candi- dates for the house are conducting a quiet but an intense campaign. So determined is the canvass it is like- ly to flare into the open at any time, as the race for state senator from this district is now flaring, for The Citizen has been in- formed that the three candidates in the mainland part of the district are OE ing active campaigns, Besides, Doc Lowe, of Tavernier, ae begun an active campaign in Monroe, and has arranged to visit the mainland part of his district. One of the mainland can- didates, Bob King, has been from one end to the other in Monroe and has formally announced in The Citizen. The other two mainland candidates have not yet been here during this cam- paign, but it is said that one of them short- ly will come to Key West, and, after can- vassing here, will make a trip through the lower and upper chains of keys. wee dgone, of logal rie tes has péen ctite fs ‘sO P learngd, in taking } to register, as hey A to qui ify fotth hi ity is needed i does, not ocgur, pa Monroe will be the smdlle ction. y also, and if it qualified list in in‘many years. Nothing is more erronéous than to be- lieve that titular leaders speak for the rank and file of those belonging to the organization. There is nothing new under the sun, nor can there ever be, for as soon as that which was unknown yesterday becomes known, it is not new anymore. “DOLLAR”, VERSUS “REAL” INCOME Oe te There is a difference between “dolla efor,,,.workers andy Areal’, incpmer vhich, veflects; purchasing wat? afte: jJubtrrent-forinereases*in the: cost:of: livirt ingo) The United States News, i cufation, after taking itito 461 pati Ont treases....now....kecommended .for---auto rkers, and compares the income,’ both, ual nd ‘real, of several group: Here ‘s what it reports mwAuto ar, who earned $1,711 in 989) AGE sBiz49Gh 1945; and will ‘make $2,97%0.0n the-new. scale. now,.deemed. cer- tain. This, however, is dollar income. After adjustments for the cost of living the “real” income was $1,711 in 1939, $2,011 in 1945 and will be $1,977 in the coming twelve months. Unorganized workers, represented by one in retail trade, had an average income of only $1,101 in 1939, $1,468 in.1945 and may get no substantial raise now. If living costs go up, as expected, the “real” income of this worker will be reduced to $1,021 in actual buying power this year.

School teachers, who earned on the average $1,408 in 1939, got $1,786 in 1945 and are expected to receive about the same in 1946. The “real’”’ income, however, was off on account of inereased cost of living. A junior executive, who received $5,000 in 1939, probably is getting $5,750 now but in purchasing power, after weigh- ing increases in taxes and cost of living, is now getting a “real” income, measured in purchasing opwer, of about $3,564. A senior executive,-with a salary of $10,000 in 1939:may be getting today around $11,500 but this represents only, $7,069 in “real”? income and is subject to an additional decline if living: Poy in- crease. aid These examples tend to show tat is happening to the various income groups as the organized workers profit from their political power. The same can-be said, to an extent, about farmers. It cannot be said about the unorganized workers and the fixed income groups. The statistics use the 1939 income as a basis and trans- late present dollar-income into purchasing power comparable with, and in’ terms of the-1939 incomes.

I went to his room, and he wasn’t there?” “Nevertheless, he is in his room,” said Aunt Emma. “Perhaps with your customary ineptitude you went to the wrong room.
