WOLFES IN JAIL

The following dispatch, which re- lates to two former Iditarod men, is clipped from San Francisco paper;
 Sacramento, Sept. 17.-Maurice ". Wolfe and his son, Victor Wolfe, tail ors, 515 K street, were arrested here today on confession of an alleged ac- complice, who told a story of an arson plot. They are charged with con spiracy to commit arson.
 In effect the confession of this man, whose name is withheld by the police, charges that Wolfe and his son in- tended to set fire in the night to their shop. The fire was to be fed with quantities of oil, which would insure the destruction of the building and the probable death of thirty roomers above.
 In addition this accomplice says that he found that he also was to be a victim. That when the fire was ig- nited it was so arranged that a can of gasoline would explode and kill him. Wolfe and his son, he declares, would then collect large amount of insur- ance.

Why British
 Labor Objects
By ED. l.. KEEN

United Press Staff Correspondent )
 LONDON, Dec. 2O.-To support his charge that capital has exploited labor during this war the British workingman cites the employers own books showing, he says, excessive pro- fits from war business. He cites for example:
 Spiller, flour miIIers of Cardiff, last year declared a profit of Sl,S&5,OOO, an increase of $1I35,OOO over the average of the last three years. The Powell DufTryu CoIliery Co.,. profit $211O,OOO, increase S65O,OOO: Ebb Vale Coal & Iron Co., profit $7lOOOO, increase S325,OOO; Lauchet Brothers, profit s7SO,OOO, increase $2SOOOO
 Practically nothing was done by the government to control the gradually soaring retail prices of foodstuffs.

Employers refused to increase wages sufficiently to meet the new condi- tions. In November, 1914, the Journ- al of Commerce said:
 "The opportunities now open to British shipping are obvious. Ger man ships swept off the sea, We have no serious competitors in the carrying trade of the world" Just after this some freight rates from Argentine to Great Britain increased 800 per cent.
 It was the business as usual policy that aroused the workingmen. They began demonstrations. At first there was no suggestion of striking. But demonstrations and resolutions brought no results. REAL wages steadily declined. Except in muni- tions trades where overtime was paid, NOMINAL wages were stationary. To date, to offset the 40 per cent in- crease in living cost, wages in organ ized trades have increased only 10 per cent. and in unorganized trades hard ly at all. Of nearly ten million work CTS not more than three millions have

INTRODUCING THE RAINBOW
 UNIFORM. ITS OUT OF SIGHT

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-(SpeciaD-- Khaki, field grey and German green as invisible colors for armies are dis nal failures. Sixteen months of war in the field has proved that the most invisible army of all would be one whose soldiers were clad in models of Joseph's coat.
 Such at least is the verdict of a high British officer, who in months a.t the front has made a study of the invisibility of colors.
 In clothing an army, the highest point of invisibility he says would be obtained by garbing each man in a different color; one in green, the next in blue, another in grey, one in red and so on alternately, according to the color experts scheme. If this proved impracticable each man should be dressed in a combination of soft ton ed colors. Either scheme, says the officer, would enable an entire army corps to merge inconspicuOusly into any background.
 Like the Scottish kits, the olive. drab khaki of the British army to- day is based on custom, not science, he declared. Khaki originated in the British Indian army and later got u England. The European war has shown that it is far more satisfactory on the Indian plains or the African veldt than limned aaignst the land- scape of France or Belgium.
 Observers unanimously have re- ported that against the snows of winter or the green foliage of spring or summer, the khaki-clad Tommy is conspicuous target. The same is declared to be true of the greyish green of the German uniforms.

received increases. Only the threat of concerted industrial action induc- ed employers to concede this much mainly in war bonuses, labor says.
 Moreover, the war was being con- ducted in silence. The government wouldn't tell what was happening. There was no incentive for the work ingman to show interest in the wars progress; there was every incentive for him to show increased interest in his own welfare.
 So the industrial truce, declared at the beginning, was broken. DespiB, this there have been only 30 strikes since August, 1914 involving more than 250 workers each.
