A word in particular to Wayne county
and Detroit officials who viii have I'm
charge the enforcement Of the prohibi-
tion law during their respective terms.
If We were in your places We would be
quite particular to refrain from any po-
htical alliances (bocze alliances. especial
ly), which would be likely to prove cm-
barassing after May /. 1918.
On that day you will be expected q.
enforce the prohibition law to the letter
and from that day YOU will be expected
to see that il is kept in force.
And you will be watched. closer than
Detroit and Wayne county officials were
ever watched, for any sign from you that
you may have misunderstood the dry
majority Of Nov. Z, 1916.
The Times Will be glad to take part
In the watching.

l am not attempting here TO dis
'parage the temperance movement.
Only you in America and we on the
Continent have an entirely different
view OF what constitutes temperance.
/ do not consider hat the German
who takes his beer with his meals.
nor the Frenchman who takes light
wine in the same way, is incorporate.
i consider the Russian peasant who
used to get drunk every day on vodka,
but who. now that Russia has prohi-
bition, has substituted varnish for
vodka, Incorporate. But / suppose
that your American prohibitionists
would class all three nations as in
temperate and the only truly temper
ate nation Turkey. which drinks
neither wine nor beer, nor hard IL
quors.
My own view of what constitutes
temperance agrees pretty much with
the French. III you will read the tract
sent by the French Medical society TO
the soldiers at the front you will see
that while the men in the trenches are
warned that a nip of brandy Is delu-
sive. and strong liquor of every kind
habitually taken leads without fail
to diseases of the stomach, liver and
mind, a distinction is made in regard
TO fermented liquors. such as wine,
beer and cider. Fermented liquors,
the French soldier is told, may be
safely used in moderation. This Is
what we, on the Continent, consider
real temperance reform.

WAGE INCREASES
OF HARVESTER co.

= During the recent labor disturbances
which spread from various manuiac
turing establishments all over the
country to the Chicago works VI the
international Harvester company
some interesting information was
brought out concerning wage increases
during the last fourteen years. At the
very beginning of the disturbance 10
the Harvester plants. the management
ordered a careful investigation OF the
wage increases to its employees since
1902. the year the company was organ
lied. In order that this investigation
might be fair, accurate, and impartial
the company went outside n en-
gagged a firm of certified public &C
countants to make a detailed examina
tion of the pay rolls from the year OF
the company's organization down to
the present.
Without waiting for this report. the
company proceeded at once to offer Its
employees in the Mccormick and
Deering works a new schedule. in.
creasing the minimum rate to 20 cents
an hour and granting a new rate which
was equivalent to a wage increase OF
IL 1+9 per cent. This new schedule
was applied to all employment, piece
work or time.
Examination of the pay rolls by the
certified accountants showed hat the
wages. even before the recent in
crease. were much higher than those
in effect when the company was or
ganized. The following certified re
port was made as to the Mccormick
and Deering works:
