Show MM speaking of il str strikes ike is 8 X y fly by RING LARDNER ARDNER MM to the editor I 1 made the remark the me other da day y that I 1 wished I 1 wag wa in some sort fort ot of a strike and the madam sold said well why dont you get into one and I 1 said how can I 1 strike when I 1 got no job answer me that which lor for once she would not well afterwards I 1 got to thinking it over and finely I 1 seen a way vay to get into the game that was by organizing a husbands union and demanding a fair trial for the married men I 1 talked it over with a couple other husbands whom im on friendly turns with ath them and we e set down and figured out a set get of demands which will first be gave to other husbands bus banda for their 0 K and then presented to the wives in the shape of a ultimatum tima turn which it each and every demand Is not granted the married men will walk out on them the day before xmas and leave them to explain to the kids why santa show up the demands as out to 18 as follows I 1 A 20 hour day and a 6 day week under the present system the husband is on the job the whole 24 lira hrs of the whole 7 days and even while he be Is asleep ho he cant dream dotting that dont remind him of it the husband wants the hrs between 8 and 12 every night tor for rest and recreation re rea tion and sundays to them self for medi meditation and prayer away from the home Z the closed mouth the way it Is now dow you dont know sooner get in the house when the owner wants to know where you was the husband wants the right to not answer 3 A of at least 50 per cent in pocket money the owners Is getting bigger allowances low ances than ever before but the husbands Is still supposed to go along on the old scale though it costs 3 and 5 times as much to mingle midgle around and where a person used to be able to get paralyzed on 10 it now takes 25 and 30 to even feel like you wanted to hear bear the rosary 4 collective marketing in rare cases the waner owner consults the husband as to what would be like tor for dinner but they generally always wait until just after breakfast when the bare mention of food stuffs rubs the fur the wrong way and even when a husband can remember I 1 of his bis favorite dishes at that hr br in the morning and mentions it out loud why he be has his bis trouble for his bis pains you might say as the matter will either be forgotten and hushed bushed up before nightfall or else they tried to get it but the man at the store advised them to pass it up as it was libel to be a little danced at this time of yr or something in regards to demand 4 while I 1 dont like to drug drag in personalities however I 1 feel strained to say that I 1 have been a husband tor for better or worse than 8 yrs ars and hae bae never kept it a secret from the owner that my 2 favorite viands was oyster cream stew and doughnuts and yet during the entire eight years war the no of messes of doughnuts in our home has hardly ran into double figures of 1 thumb in the case of the doughnuts it Is generally always broughten up that lard Is too expensive for lard ners or doughnuts dunt dont set good on tile the lids kids or the owner dont know if tola iola can call make them or not and they dont seem to be no way of finding out and if you yon get them from the bakery you dont know what Is in them though per sonly I 1 dont give a darn as long as they taste greasy and 1111 you up As far as oysters Is concerned conser ned Ded theys a version la in the psalms that says dont eat cat them only in months which Is spelt with a r and it goes vs the grain for a man ann to speak of their cifes suffices sull ices to say that they theys s many anany a nice girl that was born a bad speller and just as many that cant bear the looks of a 8 calendar around the house so for all as they know oysters may be at their zenith in july instead ot of vice versa 5 the abolition of the birthday the normal husband has as aa ninny many birthdays per annum as the owner but where as the husband Is expected to remember the 10 of july or what ever it Is and spend the equal of half a yrs ars gold dues where as on the other hand the owner if they dont forget the 6 of march entirely why fly they buy you a book that until you bave rend read it through yeti you can set abot around nd evenings hot pare your linger finger nails that Is the demands as they will be presented to the owners as soon as a the husbands can get organized and I 1 hope dear editor that you fire in syl sympathy apathy alth ith this mo ement and will urge all the husbands hubband s on your stair staff as those amongst your ers era to or at once join the amalgamated married men of america and put a end to the humiliations to a member of the servile berlle sect becomes a party to tile the minute they are diug up to the alter and if a walk out la Is necessary on the ahe date chose which Is xmas eve ov iphy 1 hpe the owners will see the light and bow to the inevitable and not try an nd continue in business with a gang of scabs c by abo in bell ine inc |
