The Chicago labor unions have com
piled statistics or wages and the cost
Of living. which are almost startling.
They ask that their facts and figures
be made a supplement to the report
which the Department OF Commerce and
Labor is now preparing on the Occupa-
ton and risks OF workingmen- These
figures show that he cost OF living has
doubled since 1904. while wages have
increased only per cent. The net re-
suit is a decrease Of 80 per cent in wages,
through the reduction in purchasing
power. In other words, wages of $50 a
month in 1904 were equivalent to wages
of 500 a month today.
No doubt the increase in the cost OF
living in the preceding five years was as
great proportionayely as in the period
covered in the Investigations of the Chi
cago labor unions Workingmen have
been compelled To pay more each year
for the necessaries of life, without hav.
ing more money with which to buy.
Wages have stood still and the cost OF
living has advanced by leaps and
bounds

If She Had Not Married.

The lover of euphonious female
names must look back with regret to
the eighteenth century with its fra
grant memories of Belinda, Arabella

is still preserved. Could you have a
more beautiful name than Juan Maria

the ironies of history that the owner
of these charming vocables was fated

WORDY COMBAT
IN RIOT TRIAL

There was a strong tincture of ia
basco in the proceedings related to
the Waipahu riot trial in Judge Rob-
inson's court this morning. Elsewhere
the stages passed are reported, but
the way they were reached is another
story. An element of pungency, in
deed the chief one, arose from the
dovetailing of facts relating to the
latest Japanese Higher Wage sensa-
ton into the pleadings and argument
Reference is to the alleged kidnapping
of Tsunoda, a Japanese cane-planting
contractor from Waipahu, in this town
on Sunday by three of the plantation
strikers, two of whom are defendants
in the riot case on trial, and the at
tempt to hold an inquisition over him
by a secret tribunal of the Higher
Wage Association
Lightfoot opened the ball at nine
o'clock by presenting a motion for
continuance Of the trial, in which the
prosecution rested on Friday, with re-
spect to the leading defendant Jotaro
NiihdN1 anu uGltuuduIS ,fuSllQO ana
Kawallimi, and reopened it after a
recess of forty-five minutes by read
ing an affidavit in support of the mo-
ton.
Lightfoot in his affidavit related the
continuance Of the trial from Friday
until a. m. today, at which hour
according to notice he was going to
move for the discharge of the ten de-
PENDANTS. Then he goes on to tell
about a conference he had appointed
with the defendants on Sunday after
noon, but at which Fushino failed to
appear up till four o'clock p. m. when
he learned that Fushino was under
arrest He autoed to the police sta
ton, where he was denied an inter
view with his clients under arrest
A second visit at 1925 in the evening
was also fruitless, Deputy Sheriff Rose

wakami were being held for investi-
cation and, under the rule, could not
be seen by an attorney.
Affiant told of his going to the
residence of Judge Robinson on Mon
day for a writ of habeas corpus and
finding he was not at home. Thence
he went to Judge De Bolts home on
a similar Grand Judge De Bolt de-
clined to act without seeing the pro-
scouting attorney and tried to reach
Mr.. Kinney by telephone but failed.
Finally he refused the writ, saying the
petition should be presented to Judge
Robinson. Next affiant tried to see
Consul General Uyeno but he was not
to be seen.
Later he was permitted to see Flu
shine in private in room of the sta.
ton house, but the interview was in
formed him that no conversation
could be held with Fushino without
the presence of an officer. So he was
compelled to terminate the interview
without opportunity to discuss with
him his defense in the riot case. In
conclusion he declared his belief that
it was impossible to present a proper
defense of the riot case without first
discussing the matter with Fushino
and Kawakami. The thwarted inter-
view, it should be stated, was under
taken under an order from Judge
Robinson
Kinney read an affidavit In reply
