all these manufacturers are large
contributors to charity. -
mot long ago, when we wished to
get neutral third man on trade
board, in one of the most successful
schemes of collective bargaining in
the city of Chicago, the bureau of
charities, by whom this man was en-
ployed, refused to permit him to
serve and we were compelled to find
him work elsewhere i'll order to get
his services on the trade board
1T is this condition of things which
brings so-called organized charity
into disrepute among those who
struggle for an adequate wage.
In addition, the under-payment
forces weak and stunted children Of
the poor into the factories at imma-
ture ages in order to piece out the
inadequate family income, where the
little remaining. strength and vitality
they have is worn out and dissipated,
with the result that they are not able
to do efficient work and earn ade-
quate Compensation, even when the
opportunity offers.
1.-The number of children between
the ages of 10 and Is who are forced
to earn their daily bread in this coun-
try is estimated from reliable statis-
tics at the present time at the ap-
paIIing number of 100000. If ever
there was an indictment of a nation
and civilization, surely this is one,
and it constitutes the most serious
part of the nations unpreparedness.
eff any proof is needed of what I
have said, the study of delinquent
children in Chicago is complete and
convincing, where it is shown that
of the delinquent children only two
per cent come from the families of
the well-to-do, while nine-tenths of
the delinquent girls and three-fourths
of the boys come from the f. miles
of the poor and the very poor

Mother" Jones and women from
every prominent club in the city led
the parade of 5000 girl and women
clothing strikers through the loop
this afternoon.
The girls bore banners telling their
story of the struggle.
The parade started just as the re-
port reached the hall of the clubbing
by cop of Ida Gould at Jackson and
Desplaines. The girl was so brutally
beaten that she fell to the sidewalk
unable to get up.
Some of the signs worn by the girls
were copies of pay envelopes show
ing that girls made as low as 70 cents
in a week.
Nettle Richardson, connected with
the immigration bureau and Hull
House, who was arrested yesterday
and held two hours without booking
before she was released on bonds,
marched with the girls.
John Mann, arrested on four
charges while he was picketing, was
held in $4,000 bonds in the boys
court.
Here's part of the big speech of
VIM. o. Thompson at Danville:
i "a great struggle is going on in
Chicago today, wherein thousands of
workers, men and women, are strug-
Cling to get living wage. The strug-
gle has been going on for weeks. l
have yet to hear of any charitable or
ganization, either directly or indirect
ly, seeking to help in the adjustment
of the struggle.
81 am speaking of the strike of the
clothing workers. All the newspa-
pers in Chicago have editorially en-
dorsed the stand of the workers, have
condemned the manufacturers for
their unwillingness to meet the work.

TELLS OF CURE FOR CANCER.

Evansville, Ind, Nov. A. = An
nounccment that he had discovered 4
treatment for cancer that has proved
successful in number of cases was
made by DR.. c.. A. Pope, of Louis
vile. KY, at meeting here yesterday
of the Ohio Valley Medical Assocla-
ton.
DR.. Pope, states that "extracts from
the proteins of certain vegetables,
hypodermically administered" COM
pose his cure, which is known as "au-
tolysin," DR.. Pope said that even So
called hopeless cases" had responded
to treatment by his method.
Before making any claim that he
had discovered an absolute cure the
Louisville physician said he wished
to continue his experiments for sever
al months in order to test the treat
ment thoroughly.

PRICES IN BERLIN.
Feed Products in German Capital
Climbing Higher Weekly.

Berlin faces the need for milk cards
Housekeepcrs are not as much wor-
ried by this, however, as by the mys-
ferrous 10 pfenning week rise ~
food prices. Ten pfennigs is about :
cents. For the past two months 1000
prices have been climbing skywal'H
at that weekly rate.
A few months ago bread scarclE!
was wat everyone feared. To guar"
against it bread cards were originated
When it was reported that milk wa
growing scarce, milk cards were su@.
gested Immediately. Whipped cream
is forbidden already in Austro- Hun
gary from the rising price OF butter
and from milk dealers unwillincness
to increase deliveries. II milk cards
do come it is said only families with
children will be allowed good supplies.
Prices of butter have increased j
cents per pound in the past week
Even cooking butter costs 80 TO b.
cents.
Considering the scarcity of por!; ia'
or lard, which is so abundant III the
United States at 10 to Is cents, Am
crican housekcepers can understand
what it means to Berlin housewives
to have to pay five times that much
sor the one article used in prep9lIn"
nearly every meal.
In both Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary food prices have been increasing
rapidly since spring. Germany, how
ever, is still economically better oil
than her ally.
The people believe that as soon =:
way is cut through Scrvia, and Rul.
garia and Turkey are in direct con-
munication with Berlin, foodstutf,
will cost less, for Bulgaria and Turk.
ev both are said to be stocked witt
foods the Germanic allies need.
The following prices for meat AM

Roast beef, 25 cents per pound
roast veal, 40 cents per pound; yea

the voluntary system. Personally, think It is purely a question of practical expe- dience. Admittedly our system of voiun- tary recruiting operates in 8 haphazard, capricious way, and by objection to the employment of compulsion under present conditions, is not due to any blindness to the defect of the existing system. My ob- Jection Is that the employment of com pulsion would endanger the maintenance of national unity. If you apply compul- sion without general assent. you defeat your purpose"
 Recruiting Movement
 Referring to Lord Derbys recruiting scheme, the premier promised to in form the country, as soon after No vember 30, as it was possible, to col leot Information whether it was sue cessful
 T believe he continued, ''ft will produce satisfactory result, but If 1t does not, and If it is shown that in the recruiting reservoir there are num- bers of men of military age who still hang back, I will not hesitate to rec ommend suppIementing the voluntary system by some form of legal obli- gation."
 The premier stated he had concluded that 1t was desirable to maintain the cabinet war committee concerned with the higher direction of the war, but to
 limit It's membership. He suggested that it should not comprise less than three nor more than five, but should
 have the power to summon persons having special knowledge of informa- a- tion for the purposes of consultation. The relations of the committee to the cabinet, he thought should be elastic
 but the cabinet should be kept in- formed of important decisions and con- suited before any important departure in policy was taken.
 The premier stated that there also would in future be more coordination between the staffs of the allied pow CTS.
 Financial Position Serious
 Touching upon the question of SUD- plies of men. munitions and money the premier said that the financial posi- tion was serious. He quoted statistics of exports and imports and of ex-
 penditure upon the war ssWe cannot go on discharging busi- ness unless both government and in- dividuals adopt more stringent econ omy. Our position does not compare unfavorably with that of our enemies The standard of life in Germany has been depressed to very low point indeed, but we must be prepared to Iudhc LdT 6TcdIcT SdCTlllCcS lldI W . have done The average cost of our army in peace times is f100 per head per year. Today 1t Is between f25O and f300"
 Reviewing his own share in the talk ing of the decision of August, last year. Premier Asquith declared:
 There is nothing I wish to unsay or undo. I challenge criticism. I am as confident now as 15 months ago that we are going to carry our righteous
 cause to a triumphant conclusion. I am not going to shelve the burden laid on
 my shoulders until I am satisfied can no longer bear the burden. As long as I enjoy health and the confidence of my sovereign, the House and the country, I will not surrender the task, heavy though it be-"
 Premier Asquith's closing words were:
 'Let us endure to the end"
