Warning that the personal indebtedness of the average American wage-earner has grown to an alarming amount, endangering independence of the worker, will be issued to members of the International Typographical Union as a result of a living cost survey made b ythe union's statistical department, it was announced today by James M. Lynch, president, and J. W. Hayes, secre-tary-treasurer, at union headquarters here. "Thrift lessons will be included in work of the bureau of education and no effort will be spared to convince our membership of the seriousness of the situation,” said Lynch. "Good wages and healthful working conditions cannot add greatly to the wage earner’s happiness if he persicts in getting Into debt. The root of the evil is the tremendous growth of credit business, which in We Offer A quick way to Small Feet Do you know that swilling feet can be Instantly reduced?

‘Jones Has a New Pink Houe’ Bu Times Special NEW YORK, April 27. More 1 ' taring notes in building colors are urged by Hazel Adler, colorist, in addressing an audience of architects here. Hazel suggests concrete buildings of soft blue, stone pink, gray greens and warm buffs.

the last decade has raised a need for defense of the worker against the ‘high pressure’ type of salesman. ‘‘Rapidly increasing production and lack of foreign markets has turned the full force of the nation’s highly organized selling force upon the domestic field. The result is, the wage earner, as well as other classes, has been driven into debt. Easy to Buy "It is possible these days to ‘buy’ almost anything with a small down payment. That the worker Is entitled to some of life's luxuries as well as its necessities is a fundamental tenet of .rado unionism, but that he should bn haggled into mortgaging his future earnings, deprived of independence and worried into an early grave is decidedly unsound from any viewpoint. "Business itself is also suffering from this state of affairs. Buying power is being sopped up in advance of its development arid cost of doing business is increasing fearfully. Credit which formerly extended down the line to the retailer now runs on indefinitely. Must Check Worker "The remedy Is to check the insidiously growing tendency to illconsidered extravagance on the part of the worker. Our statistical department has found the case of a man who engaged himself to meet monthly payments actually in excess of his salary-, living expenses having been left completely out of his calculations. ‘‘America, the greatest creditor nation on earth with ten and onehalf billions owing to her, is in a fair way to become the greatest nation of debtors on earth. Continuous prosperity will never he possible if individual wealth is to bs; spent before it is created. "As one result of our living cost survey, we will direct attention of printers to the wise precepts of their patron saint, Benjamin Franklin, and the education bureau will endeavor to instill in the minds of apprentices the conviction that thrift is a requisite of the successful workman. "It might be pointed out that the citizen of tomorrow will need to practice thrift if he is to bear his Bhare of the gigantic bonded indebtedness the several governmental units of the country are piling up."
