issued a warrant for the arrest of GER
tain parties who have been guilty Of
stealing corn from his fields. Mr..
Aver, as well as other farmers in his

Machinist Is Caustic.

Washington, March, l3.-The
House Labor Committee was asked
if the skill necessary to make a
brick or mattress is comparable
with that required in making
steel projectile or rapid fire naval
gun. The query was made ty Pre-
sldent Alias, of the Government
Employees Machinists, No. A who
urged the passage Of a bill intro
duced by Representative Maber
which raises the government me-
Ichanics' wage scale to $4 40 for
first class, $4.08 for second class,
1915 for third class, and IS. So for
fourth class This bill would mean
an average increase to Washington
Navy Yard mechanics in these
classes of 5 cents a day. Other
yards and shops would be also ben
Gifted. A wage board fixes rates
for government employees in shops
and navy yards, and the workers
have SO far failed to have labor
ing man placed on this board.
President Alias told the commit
tee that the naval officers, compos-
ing the board do not have the same
attitude toward laboring mep that
they would have if they were in
closer touch with laboring condi-
tions. He said that the wage board
collects its data in some instances
from shops which have not the
slightest similarity to government
yards and arsenals. One of the
shops furnishing information was
mattress factory, another was a
brick yard, and another made
doors.

TO study old age pensions, Con-
gresham Reilly. of Connecticut,
said: I'm matters of this kind the
United States should lead, not fol-
low. If general pension system
is adopted in this county, and L
am sure one will be eventually,
nothing will be lost, as the aged
who are unable to take care of
themselves have 10 be taken care
of one way or another by either
public or private charity institu-
tiops. l Lave always favored the
pensioning of civil service employees
and the more | study the question
the more l am convinced that all
worthy citizens who, after they
have reached a -ertain age, say
sixty-6ve or seventy years should
be pensioned at a moderate rate"

interpretations to the new state

Time to Call a Halt.

No fair minded man can condemn
the declaration of William b. Wilson,
secretary of labor that agencies should
be prohibited from sending strike
breakers to fill places left vacant by
striking working men, says Typogra-
phical Journal. The practice of mis-
representation constantly resorted to
by such agencies in order to induce
men to take the places of strikers and
the policy of employing professional
thugs to create trouble in such con
tests, should be put an end to once
and for all. Every life sacrificed in
the recent strikes ut indianapolis was
caused by weapons placed in the
hands of professional thugs imported
