STANDARD 0F LIVING
If Set by the Cheapest Man So-
 ciety Retrogrades.
LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND

lTdOSS OHioUISn neScnIS-0dScO oU
 Greed and Desire to Profit at Hu-
 manity's Expense.
 It has been pet phrase of those who favor low wages that "the law of supply and demand" must, in the nat ural order of events, control the labor market-if there are three men for the one job, then the one who will work for the smallest sum is properly en- titled to the situation.
 Civilization advances as the people move forward. All that retards prog ress is handicap. If living condi- tions are to have q standard set by the cheapest man, whose individual needs may be of such nature as to preclude the home life of a community from following it's normal way, then the people of the era will suffer and the backward tendency become more marked as time goes on.
 Time and again have employers en- deavored to impress this spacious cry of supply and demand" on their en- ployees. Trades unionism resents the doctrine and in so doing is proving of service to all.
 There are recognized among thinking men and women certain requisites nec- essary to enable our present day civ ilization to be tolerable. One of these is q wage sufficient to provide for the home and those living therein. While we live under a competitive system that, it is hoped, will be improved as time goes on, it is desirable that we should make the most of the work at hand. In objecting to the flaw of sup false move, for it is based primarily on greed and the desire to save or make money even at the expense of the community, life.
 At the present time unfortunately there are thousands of men and wo- men without employment, It might be possible to reduce wages because of this condition. If this were done there wouldn't be any more work to be ob- tained as a result, and merchants and mechanics would suffer.
 There is persistent and growing demand for educational facilities, for reasonable leisure, for books and pie lures, for home with all the civiliz- ing influences. Setting it's face sternly against all these is the Flaw of supply and demand"
 There isn't an employer who takes advantage of periods of depression who would not resent encroac hments on his home life. We will admit that the man i'll business frequently suffers severely from dull times. We are not now considering the problem of mak- ing money, but the larger issue of whether the children should be prop erly fed and educated and whether the mother should be secure in providing for the household needs.
 From every standpoint-the- econom- ic, the sociological and the humanita- rian-there come objections to the flaw of supply and demand" as ap- piled to men, women and children. The latter have long been victims to the "law," and the searchlight has re- vealed the need of preventing loss of life and stunted moral and physical growth. It is impossible to measure human life by the yardstick of the dry goods store or the weight of the gro cer's commodities. There are so many essential things to be considered that this article of protest has hardly been able to do more than touch the sur face.-Paicter and Decorator.

Another Holy War.

London, May 7-Reuter's news agency
publishes today, under Pekin date, the
declaration that the Thibetans have risen
in holy war against the Chinese parri-
son stationed in Lhassa and slaughtered
1000. The news has not been confirm
ed by the Foreign Office here.
In I'll, 1000 Chinese troops entered
Lbassa on February %, forcing the
Dalai Lama, the arch priest ofshe Lama
branch of The Buddhist faith, to take
flight. The Chinese pillaged the sacred
monasteries end killed many priests.
The Chinese invasion followed dis
pute which opened several months ago,
when Chinese soldiers, marching from
the border provinces, encroached upon
Thibeten territory and levied ransom
from the Dalai Lama's people. When
the troops pilIaged the monssterieS, the
Thibe' ans appealed to the Chinese Elm
peror to check them in the me Of
Buddhism. Disregard of this appeal was
construed to mean that the Chinese
meant to seize Thibet, and an appeal
was sent to Lord Mimic, British COVER
nor of India. He refused to act.
