WAGE: REDUCTIONS
Startling Procedure in New South
Wales Shows Danger of Ar
- bitration Boards.
WAGES-BY-LAW SYSTEM
IN FORCE IN ISLAND
Court Suspends Increases Agreed
to by Wage Boards-War
Is Excuse Given.

- SYDNEY, New South Wales, Jan.
22.-Wages in New South Wales are
not only being held in check but are
being actually reduced on the plea
that, the European war is affecting
trade.
Under the industrial arbitration act,
now in force, wage boards set the
rates for workers in New South Wales.
These rates may afterward be re-
viewed by the court of Industrial arbi-
tration.
Court Sanctions Reductions
Resently Justice Heydon, of this
court, while discussing the results of
war; in Europe, indicated in the fol-
lowing manner that wages coulds be
reduced:
IF the parties concerned in any
award should find, therefore, that it
ought to be altered, or that fresh pro-
visions are required to meet a state
Of things never contemplated, they
have only to approach their boards or
the court. If those who are interested
consent to the changes, mediate &C
ton can be taken; if, on the other
hand, conditions are asked for by
other an inquiry can be made at the
shortest notice and with the minimum
of delay
Justice Restraints.
Acting on this hint by the court,
the association of metal polishing en-
ployes appealed from wage board
decision that raised wages in this in
dustry. The decision was ordered
suspended by Justice Heydon, who
said:
1.-THE consideration of the question
was brought before me a short time
ago, and gave a decision then that,
so far, at any rate, as government en-
ployes are concerned, it was not a
time for raising wages, to put the
matter shortly. limited that de-
cision expressly to government EN-.
ployes, although there is no doubt
that the principles underlying the de-
clslon have a wider application than
to mere employees of the government
For the guidance of boards In the
reduction of wages. Justice Heydon
said that while 1.-The living wage de-
ponds on what you want to live on"
and is according to standards, wage
reductions must come down from the
top, because the man who is getting
the living wage is resting on bedrock
apparently"
In the case Of increases for leather
workers, which was agreed to by
wage board, Justice Heydon, in set
ting aside the decision, showed the
power his court possesses, under the
act, to make wage scales, regardless
of the necessities of involved work.

The court" said Justice Heydon.
is entering upon the consideration
generally of the question-in what
cases, under the present war condi-
t1ons, boards should refuse to enter
tain applications for increases The
decision of the co!urt will have a bear

be necessary, the present decision will
be modified, to conform with such
rules as the court may lay down.

Unique Celebration in Capital of
Nation Marks Tooth Birthday
of Printers Union.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Sunday
January 10. a unique and unusual
celebration occurred in this city
Columbia Typographical union cele-
brated its 100 years of continued and
uninterrupted existence.
The event was observed by the or
ganization in fitting manner and
one of the largest theaters in the city
was crowded with members and
friends, while statesmen and trade
officials took advantage of the occa-
sion to recall the advances made by
the men and women of toll.
GOmpers Speaks.
This point was the subject Of an ad-
dress by President Gompers, who
compared the worker Of today with
the worker of century ago. Then
the toiler was burdened with CEN
turtles of fear, toll, sorrow and hum
GER he said. "Now the men Of Amer
lea are standing erect, asking no fav-
ors, but demanding the rights of free
dom. In so far as virility, strength,
power, influence and effective service
are concerned, your organization is
younger today than the day it was
born"
First Declaration Read.
Secretary Seibold, of the union,
read the first declaration of prin-
ciples, agreed to by the members Of
the newly formed union, 100 years
ago, from the faded century-old rec
ord book. The records of SO years ago
were read, in which were contained
the story of the half-century celebra-
ton, and a request by the secretary at
that time that these records be read
at the century celebration.
Secretary Wilson Talks.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson and Rep
resentative Johnson, of Washington,
were among the list of speakers. The
cabinet official said: 1.-THE interests of
the unionist and non-hnionist are
Identical, but the non-unionist can't
see it, because he either fears the
employer or wants benefits without
paying for them., This old world of
ours is fully able to produce all that
is necessary to the welfare of man.

THE CITY GREAT
AND STRONG

What makes the city great and strong2
Not architecture's graceful strength,
Not factories extended length,
But men who see the civic wrong,
And give their lives to make it right
And turn its darkness into light
What makes a city full of power?
Not wealth's display or titled fame,
Not fashions loudly boosted claim, !.
But women rich in virtues dover,
Whose homes though humble still are
great
Because of service to the state
What makes a city men can love?
Not things that charm the outward
sense,
Nor gross display of opulence.
But right, the wrong cannot remove,
And truth that faces civic fraud
And smites it in the name Of God.
This is a. city that shall stand.
A light upon nations hill,
A voice that evil cannot still,
A source of blessing to the land;
Its strength not brick nor stone not
wood, p
But Justice. Love and Brotherhood.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 22.-The increase in

Most Of the drug users received at

jority of them are boys or girls from
10 to % years old. These victims ad-
nit, DR.. Freeman says. that they have
been using the drug for from 6
months to 2 years. Usually they were
wayward before they formed the drug
habit
There now are 80 men and 10 women
habitual drug users at the Wilmar
hospital and Dr. Freeman says they
are the most troublesome of the pa
tients. In December 10 male and one
female drug victims attempted to es-

DR.. Freeman says that essentials In
the treatment Of the drug habit are
time, discipline and occupation. Nine
months to year. he says, is necessary
to complete a cure and he urges rule
compelling such patients to remain at
the hospital until cured.

That the agitation over Mexico is not animated solely by the humanitar- ian inclinations of the administration has long been acknowledged and the have not failed to realize just where lay the primary motive for the desire
 to restore that nation to a more peace
 able tate It is probably due to this
 fact that there has been but little pub lie sympathy with even innoeuous eff forts to bring an end to the distur-
 bances The idea of war with Mexico has not appealed to the American peo- pie in the least as was plainly evil denced at the time of the incidents leading 10 the occupation of Vera Cruz, when the newspaper extras with lurid headlines went begging for purchasers
 because of a general lack of interest
 and their publishers soon returned to
 that war with Mexico would hardly pay to advertise. That portion of the press, which represents the interests" has kept as busy as possible, of course, in the hope that something would de- velop which could be used to turn the public sympathy against the Mexicans and have spared no effort to dilate upon any circumstance which might tend to inflame the public imagination to the degree that armed intervention would be acceptable But SO far they have had but little success. The public do not want war with Mexico and there is no mistalling the fact.

As consequence we are not only among the poorest pro- vided in point of number, but are also miles behind other nations in the mat ter of efficiency. True We have some few thoroughly modern vessels of this tvpe but they are few indeed, and practically all were developed. not be- cause the government realized their possibilities. but solely because of the fact that other nations were accumulat- ing superior numbers.

If one may judge from effects, the very definite policy of the admins tration seems to be about on par with "watchful waiting" in the matter of securing definite results as beyond a smoothly worded statement of friend ship from Carranza nothing has de- veloped that could be called definite in the least degree.

that goes into the manufacture of tor pedoes. The propsal ssecifies del'y evry of these parts caliea Or when as sembled, would make 2l0 torpedoes.
 This schedule calls for the delivery of the various parts of torpedoes for which bids are asked, twenty-five per cent 150 days after the contract is sign ed and twenty five per cent each month thereafter tn Il tha contract has been nothing but miniature motor boats which carry a heavy charge of high explosives in the head. This schedule calls for a variety of parts. such as S11 castings for the torpedoes, 320 forward and 320 after propellers, 325 each submerged guide bottoms and tops, S60 turbine wheels, engine parts. castings, combus- tion fasks, driving gears, and a long list of minor parts such as any machine shop could turn out.
 The schedule itself Is an acknowl-
 
 edgement on the part of the navy de- partment that it is not equipped to manufacture any of the component parts of torpedoes.
 Ss it is difficult to imagine just what Josephus Daniels had in mind when he spoke of manufacturing" torpedoes As a matter of fact. if any disaster should overtake the Bliss factory, the govern ment would be unable to obtain even the most important parts of torpedoes in the United States. and in case of war the Newport torpedo station would be practically useless, as the finished tor pedoes could be manufactured much more quickly at the Bliss factory.
