if. 52.? :x at. .i! Labor. now as well organized as the great corporations, has adopted all the tricks of the capitalist and seeks to exploit those who are unprotected, namely. the salaried men whose incomes have not been advanced to meet the high prices. The capitalist keeps one jump ahead of labor, and’ the two, operating often with joint purpose. catch the defenseless consumer, and grind him between the millâ€"stones of their own greed. The importance of this movement can not be overestimated. It means that the great exploited middle class of America has awakened to the extremity of the situation. It' means that they who have been so long oppressed in silence, have at last be- come articulate. It means that the enterprising, and the thrifty, the intelligent, the progressive, and the educated class of this country are going to have something to say about the country’s destiny. It means that the custodians of American patriotism, American ideals, and American traditions are going to have a seat in those councils and forums which arrogate unto themselves the right to give or to take away the sunshine. the fresh air. the bOdY'S food and raiment, the right to live. A thing which promises to be one of the most important events in the history of our country is the organization of the middle class of America. Like all great movements, it had a small beginning. This is how it happened. Last Saturday, February 7th, tw0 lawyers, two merchants and a machinist secured the incorporation at Brooklyn, N. Y., of the Middle Class or “White Collar" union. Within a few hours, one hundred and fifty members had joined the organization, and it is confidently predicted that, within ten days. fifty thousand more will have added themselves to the ranks. This union is made up of the great middle class of America. It is open to everyone except a laborer, a capitalist, or a politician. It is a union formed for protection, like all unions are; in this in- stance from the onslaughts of the profiteer, on. the one hand, and from organized labor on the other. It will include the doctor, the lawyer, the dentist, professor, accountants, department heads. small manufacturers, merchants, newspaper men, writers, con- tractors, builders, architects, in fact all the great intelligent class of people in this or any other country who constitute the backbone of civilized society.

Why should the retail pric of pork remain so high when the price of hogs has declined nearly fifty per cent‘.’ And why do hogs decline when corn holtlls its present prices‘.’ In the first hiluce packers are holding vast quantities of pork waiting for thp time when they can sell abroad. Such sales are almost impossible now because of the deplorable state of European finance. The rate of exchange is so high that the price of pork. plus the additional cost of international dis» count, becomes prohibitive. Corn stays high; all grains are high. The outlook for 1920 is bad.
