Hart, Schaffner & Marx shall have

said Levin "They would like to make
that the issue. But the real issue
is whether they are going to grant
SO minimum wage to their women
and whether the women shall have
50-hour week instead of 54-hour
week as at present.
Hillman said: Five dollars week
is the minimum wage that Hart,
Schaffner &, Marx are. asking now and
have been asking in the negotiations
on since February IL. That is the real
issue. And if we have to we will strike
against a SIS minimum wage. 1t is
not enough for woman. Also, if we
strike it will be for union shop. The

Subscription List Still Open and
Those Who Have Not Given
Are Urged To Do So.

We print today a complete list
of the subscriptions to the Decor
ah Hospital fund to date, showing
the names and amounts given by
each subscriber. The committee
has spent a great deal of time DUR
ing the past month collecting data
concerning hospitals, examining
proposed sites and inspecting build
ings offered for sale for the purpose
of remodeling into q hospital. They
are unanimous in the opinion that q
new building should be erected, in
order to give the city of Decorah
hospital facilities commensurate
with its needs and with its general
character of public utilities, but
they are also conscious of the fact
that the amount of money subscrib-
ed is not sufficient to purchase and
prepare site, erect and properly
equip building such as the city Of
Decorah ought to have for this pur-
pose. 1t is therefore hoped that
liberal, public spirited citizens who
have not yet subscribed to this most
worthy purpose will do so, and tnat
those who feel that they can increase
subscriptions already made will re-
spond to this appeal for hospital
for Decorah that the entire commu-
nifty may feel proud of. Any mem
ber of the committee or any bank
in Decorah will be pleased to re-
ceive your subscription.

| frOuty discusses the currency.
When 1t comes to spouting or
the currency question your good
uncle Solomon Francis Prouty oi
Iowa Is all there. With dramatic
gesture and loud voice he frayed
the plan proposed on behalf of the
administration. He declared thai
the bill does not give the banks thu
privilege of saying "the demand II
squarely made to do or die; delivel
what we demand or we will put you
out Of business" This is the ex'
ercise Of the highwayman's logic.
Mr.. Prouty is the author of a cur
rency measure of his own, which
of course he thinks is little better
than that arranged by the esteem.

Lambast the Caucus.
In his speech concerning the cur
rency measure Representative Dill
lon of South Dakota declared that
the people throughout the country
approve Of the bill, but that the
country does not commend the
methods used in preparing the way
for its passage. He said that it was
to be regretted that fourteen Dem.
ocratic Members of the Banking
and Currency Committee felt the
necessity of excluding from the de.
liberations of the Committee the
seven minority Members. He de-
clared that for eight weeks the ma.
jority Of the Committee held secret
meetings. and that insurgency
broke loose among the members sc
that those who control the commit.
tee. in order to keep the upper
hand, called into action the all-pow.
erful caucus which bound the Dem.
ocratic congressman to the support
of the Glass-Owen bill.

of Kansas warned Congress tha
this country must throw off thu
shackles which have retarded it

with love, harmony, and prosperity
intended for distribution among th'
just and unjust. He assumed that th'
Glass currency measure would hell
a good deal. In this we find Mr.
Platt, a Republican member from
New York in disagreement, as h
says that the present bill creates ;

cratic platform.

that he believed it to be wise polic

party of Oklahoma. according to

in the Underwood tariff bill and
the Glass banking and currency
bill glory enough for the admins

enoe of Oklahoma under the state

suit he leans to the belief that the

In the minority in such q belief, az

of peace should continue to smile
approvingly upon the bunch.
A Plethora of Cooperation.
During the discussion of the cur
rency measure Representative Cor
man of Illinois declared that th'
only cooperation which has hereto
fore existed among the nationa
bauks was that cooperation brough
about by the interlocking of direc
torates, and which in turn was re
sponsible for the cooperation o.
conspiracy between the banks an(
the stock market operators. Ac
cording to Mr. German this kind o

cooperation is fatal to legitimate
business. He pointed out that the
Glass-Owen bill proposes a coopera.
tion which will aid legitimate bust
ness instead of speculations.
We Must be Up and Doing.
There is nothing prosy about
this: "We no longer use the sickle
in reaping down our fields of amber
grain, other and more effective
methods having been brought into
use. We cannot live on tradition
alone. We must meet conditions as
we find them. We cannot afford to
procrastinate. To do so would be
financial suicide" The quotation
occurred in the congressional record
as the extension of remarks of
Honorable Sanford Kirkpatrick of
Iowa."
Good Still Comes Out of Nazareth.
Declaring that his one reason for
not supporting the currency meas
ure was because it did not appeal
to his best judgment as being right
Representative Mckenzie of Illinois
added that he was not lone of those
who believes that nothing good can
come of Nazareth" He explained
that the Democratic caucus was the
antithesis of righteousness.
Littlefeld and jenkins.
Former Representative Littlefleld
of Maine in his testimony at the
House lobby investigation admitted
that he had received aid from the
Manufacturers Association, but he
denied in substance most of the i'm
plications of Mulhall, the lobbyist,
regarding the improper use of the
Associatidn's money in his campaign.
Littlefield also rose to the defense
OF former Congressman Jenkins Of
Wisconsin, who is dead and can
not speak for himself" It will be
remembered that the labor unions
opposed the nomination of Little
field and Jenkins, who were promi-
nent Members of Congress a few
years ago. On account of the inftu-
ence these men exercised in protec-
tive tariff legislation, the Manufac-
turers Association very consistently
came to the aid of their campaigns.
and nothing improper would ever
have been charged had it not been
for the extravagant assertions of
the discredited sIuihall.
The Ministry and Politics.
AS an explanation of why preach
ers have not been prominent in
holding offices, Senator Clapp told
the Senate the other day that lin
the early history of this country in
many of the states, ministers of the
gospel were forbidden to hold Of
flee, upon the theory that politics
were so degrading that the mil is
ters could not withstand it's degrad-
ing effects" The Senator explained
that it was not upon the theory that
the church would demean politics,
but that politics would degrade and
lower the dignity of the gospel, that
the opposition of the clergy came
to be raised against political posi-
tions.
Finding the Proof of the Puddings.
The Republican leader, Jim
Mann. had plenty of criticism for
the House currency bill, but he slip
ped a cog when speaking Of the
Democratic caucus, by not condem-
ming it has been the custom among
his fellow Republicans and Pro-
gressives. Mr.. Mann said: Il have
never been disposed to criticise the
method of procedure of the major
ity in the legislative body. The test
is. what is the result that comes
out of that meeting.
