WAR ABROAD; CONSPIRACY AND
ENTORTION AT HOME.

New York World: One of the
most notable dispatches yet receiv-
ed from the seat of war in Europe
was that appearing in the World of
yesterday which embraced these SEN
tences:
Living in Brussels is not expen-
sive even now. A little meat and
plenty of vegetables take one long
way. Even the very poor
can afford such a dinner in Brus-
sels.'
Brussels is the capital of Belgium,
kingdom embracing territory less
in extent than that of the state of
Maryland. Its population is almost
as great as that of the states of Ill
incis and Indiana combined. 1t has
more inhabitants to the square mile
than any other nation in the world.
Although most of the able-bod-
led men of this kingdom are under
arms; although on one side it is
overrun by great hostile army, and
although on the other it is occupied
by friendly allied force as large or
larger, there is yet no pinch of fam
inc. The markets are open. Spec
ulation has not seized upon the oc-
casion for profit. The very poor as
we'll as the very rich supply their
wants at prices which the World cor
respondent describes as 'extraordin-
arily cheap"
What is the situation in New York,
5000 miles from the theater of war?
Here everything that sustains life
has mounted in price. Loaves of
bread are shrinking in size. Weights
and measures are being clipped. A
cent here, a nickel there, dime
more for this and a dollar more for
that, accentuate the most shameless
robbery ever perpetrated upon free
people at peace with all the world.
The scarcity now reflected in this
city in the outrageous prices at
which food is held is not the legiti-
mate result of war. 1t is the result
of greed. 1t is not due to shortage.
1t is due to speculation. 1t is not
consequence of any convulsion of
nature. 1t is consequence of cor
ner. 1t has no relation to existing
supplies, which are abundant and
with no immediate outlet. 1t relates
to a ruthless gamble in futures and
is based altogether upon the hope
that in time devastation in Europe
will enable food gamblers here,
with governmental assistance, to ex-
act famine prices for their boarded
supplies.
There is only one complete reme-
dy. If the pirates who are seizing
the food supply of America do not
instantly relax their hold, congress
should temporarily prohibit exports
of grain and provisions. 1t is a
crime to open new markets for men
who, coldly calculating upon the
forthcoming panic in those markets,
are now, in a year of plenty, draw
ing blood from their own country
men.
The United States is a sovereign
power. 1t is menaced today only by
conspiracy and extortion at home.
To kill that evil force and kill it
outright will be greater victory
than any European army is this
struggle can gain, no matter at what
bloody sacrifice.

BYHELP OF UNIONS
Two. New York Trades Agree
With Employers to Prevent
Loss by Fire and Accident.

NEW YORK, April 24.-"Two Of
the largest trades in this city have
agreed with the labor unions of their
employees to adopt rigid fire preven-
ton and life protection measures.
Thus several hundred thousand work.
ers in these trades now have better
protection than ever before in the
trades history" says the city COM
mittee on safety in a report on prac-
teal and legislative fire prevention re-
forms in this city and state.
The claim is made that during the
last three, years education and legisla-
ton have reduced the chances of life
destroying conflagrations like the tri-
angle fire rs per cent. Two important
laws recently passed provide that
stalrways in factory buildings shall
be inclosed in fireproof buildings and
that no floor of a factory building
shall have more occupants than can
escape by the buildings various exits.
There has been by no means a
complete enforcement of these two
provisions of the law as yet" the
committee states, "but already several
hundred stairways in factories in this
state have been enclosed in fire re-
sjsting material. This has given the
workers in these factories protec-
ton they never had before.
1.-The workmen's compensation act.
if enforced, by awarding compensa-
ticn for every death or injury in fac
tory fires, automatically will result in
installing fire walls, Enclosed stair
ways, automatic sprinklers, wire glass
windows and other preventive and
protective Devices" the committee
continues.
1T will be cheaper to pay for these
improvement in a building than to
LAY damages under the new law

DISCRUNT[EDU UNION
DENIED INJUNCTION
st: Louis Revolutionary Shoe
Workers Sought, Aid of Courts
.>~,s J. They Long .Decry. ,::"

ST: LOUIS. Mo-, April PA So
called Revolutionary group of boot
and shoe workers in this city, called
the United Shoe Workers, have lost
their injunction suit intended to stop
the Hamilton-Brown Shoe company
and the bona fide Boot and Shoe
Workers union from carrying out
contract recently agreed to.
These "revolutionsts'' overlooked
their continued denunciation of courts
Of justice, and asked for an order that
would deny the Hamilton Brown peo-
PIE the right to agree with the Boot
and Shoe Workers that only their
members would be employed, and
that in all other. departments only
those workers would be employed
who were members of or who were
eligible to trade unions affiliated to
the American Federation of Labor.
This contract, the "revolutionists''
declared, was conspiracy" but the
court held that the shoe management
had the right to employ any sort of
workers it chose, and the petition was
denied: The contract was entered into
last January, and at that time the
shoe company announced:
I'VE believe that the economy
which is made possible by avoiding
strikes on the one side and lockouts
on the other will eventually eliminate
the waste incident to frequent inter-
ruptions which occur in the different
departments of factories operating
under what is known as open shop
conditions, which cause serious loss
to the employer and employees alike
I'm pursuit of the new policy Of
this company we have decided to OPP
crate union factories under contract
with the Boot and Shoe Workers
union affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor. ~..~. ..:
Men. in our employ other than
shoe workers will be oranized in ac-
cordance with the rules Of their re-
srective organizations, providing they
are affiliated with the American Fed

MUS|C|ANSOUT At
BROADWAY THEATER
CONTINUED from Page ~

union at the Broadway theater in
Superior is due to the fact that our
organization would not accede to- the
demand by the owner for a reduc-
ton in the wage scale, and increase
in the working time, and reduc-
ton in the number Of men in the or
chestra.
1.-THE scale paid by all theaters in
the same class at the head of the
lakes provides that leaders shall re
ceive $35 a. week, and members of or
chestras $25 a week. All theaters in
the same class use orchestras for
about 55 hours a week.
1.-The owner of the theater came
that we reduce the scale for the
leader of the orchestra from s35 to
$3.50 a week and from $25 to $21.50
for members. He also insisted that
our working time be increased from
IS hours week to As and So hours.
and that the members of the or
chestra be reduced to four men.
Onion Made Concessions.
After several conferences with the
owner we offered to.play an addi-
ticnal matinee on Saturdays and
Sundays for a definite time. This
would extend our working time from
IS to approximately 40 hours a week.
We insisted that We could not grant
the other concessions without doing
the same for all other theaters in Du-
luth and Superior in the same class.
The other theater managers are sat-
:sfied to pay the present scale.
FINALLY the owner of the Broad
way served dismissal notice on the
members of the orchestra. He has
employed in their places non-union
musicians. In accordance with our
working agreement the Stage En-
ployes' union, after giving the GUS
tomary two-weeks' notice, quit the
theater when it was found that the
orchestra was to be filled with non
union musicians
Unions First Trouble.
L These are the unpublished facts In
the case. Our union has been in ex-
istence for 18 years and this is the
first time we have been involved in
trouble of this character. We will 20
"a long way to head off strike or
lockout. and we would have done
anything reasonable In this case. but
the owner left no alternative, as we
were forced out by his order
I'VE carried our case to the Supe-
rior Trades and Labor Assembly. A
committee was appointed to investi-
gate and attempt to bring about "a
settlement, but the owner still re-
manned obdurate: The committee
failed in it's efforts, and subsequently
the assembly endorsed the action of
our union and placed the Broadway
theater, on the unfair list. We ask
all workingmen. and their friends in
Superior to support us. and to help us
put the theater back on our friendly
list by, employing members of the or
ganized labor in it's several depart
ments."

immigration laws along the lines
suggested by the state Immigration
commission in its recent report, which
declared that the state must, "at
whatever cost, prevent the lowering
OF its moral, mental, and physical
standards-the inevitable, result o.

The report says that if the state
is not willing to meet the cost, the
influx of numberless tongues and
foreign ideals will jeopardize our gov
ernmental system.
