"John Smith," Innocent
Bystander, Finds An Issue
In the War All His Own

An entirely new issue comes out Of
the European war.
II is an issue that concerns none Of
the belligerent powers.
1t concerns our own neutral country
exclusively-ou own United States.
1t is an issue however, which the bel
Iigerents will have TO settle for us. 1t
looks that way. at least.
The European war grew out Of greed.
All war has greed for its fountain
head
The issue at home is an issue Of greed
growing out Of greed.
The issue comes out Of the high cost
of living issue of war prices in a
country at peace.
War as an issue changes maps.
This high cost of living issue, growing
out of war, changed the bill-of-fare for
many a poor family this Thanksgiving
day.
Bull beef, at the highest price II ever
brought, took the place of turkey or other
fowl, advanced to the point of impossi-
bility for the average workngman.
Issue follows issue in the course Of a
great war.
Our own merely takes its place in an
unfortunate sequence.
Originally the issue was whether there
could be any such thing as a war among
the great European powers - whether
such war could be financed.
War went on for year, at tremen-
dous sacrifice of money by all countries
concerned, and the ability Of the bellig
erents to go on for another year became
the absorbing issue.
War went on for another year, and the
Issue became How long can the fighting
countries stand it7"
But right today, here in the land Of
the free and the home of the brave, in
country whose hands are bloodless and
whose purposes are peaceful, the all-im-
portant and all-absorbing issue has be-
come one of bread and butter, yea, life
Itself for peaceabe people.
The question that interests Us most is
no longer when viii the war end?7 or
How long will the belligerent nations be
able TO keep up the fighting?'
The GREAT QUESTION growing, out
Of the European war, is:
How long can John Smith" American
citizen, laborer and breadwinner, earning
s2 or $3.50 a day-how long cen John
Smith, innocent bystander, and his fam
iIy of seven, stand it?

In an address delivered before the Ro-

In the latter part Of the eighteenth
century the metric system was adopted

Employers Concede s
Hour Day, but Balk on
Date of Change

A four-hour conference last evening
between the striking clothing makers
and their employers the first since the
strike began on December l3-failed TO
develop any definite grounds for an I'M
mediate settlement.
The meeting was held in the Bar A.
ISOLATION building. and was presided
over by self-designated board Of me-
diation. consisting of Judge Julian W.
Mack, OF the Federal Court OF Com
merce; Joseph Basch, formerly Of Sic
sel-Cooper Company, Chicago, and
William o. Thompson, a New York at
torney.
Although no announcement concern
inc the details Of the debate was made
by any members of the board Of media
ton. it was learned that the general
principle Of the eight-hour day has
been recognized By the manufacturers
and that only the date upon which II
should become effective Is hating the
final settlement of the strike.
II is this principle for which the
clothing workers have been battling,
and il is the cardinal point which the
American Clothing Manufacturers As
ISOLATION at the outset OF the strike
declared II would not yield.

20 consider any date later than Jsnu-
airy IS. the deadlock in which the con-
/ ference ended developed.
"All matters connected with the
strike were discussed IN the most
/ friendly way by both employers and

close OF the conference. 81 can safely
say that consistent progress was made.
