RAISE TO ALL WORKERS
American Clothiers Association Agrees
to Wage Increase.

New York. Nov. SO.-The American
Clothing Manufacturers association
has issued the following statement
thru its president, Herbert c. Ansorg,
at the Broadway Central hotel:
In order to meet the increased cost
of living the American Clothing Manu-
facturers' association has agreed to
give an increase of pay to workers in
all branches of the trade from the
week beginning Dec. IS, 1916.
This will result in an advance. of
about 35 to 40 per cent for the pc
Rod and will affect $4,000 workmen,
representing families consisting of ap-
proXimately 100000. These advances
represent an increase of abe ut $S,000,-
600 on an output of about $125, 000,-
600. OF the output, $30,000.000 in
round numbers is paid for direct la
Dor.
THE annual clothing output in New
York City is estimated at $240, 10000
This increase will be given to all en-
ployes regardless of whether they are
or are not affiliated with the union"

RAISE PAY OF 10000
Standard Oil Co. Grants Wage In
crease to y. j. Employees.

New York, Nov. 30.-Ten thousand
employees of the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey have been granted an
increase in wages to become effective
Friday. The company says the in
crease is granted because of the pres
ent high cost of living.
The company will maintain the
eight-hour day in all departments.
The increase for common labor will be
from $500 to $3.50 a day. More than
$500 workers will receive this add
vance Those now receiving less than
$3.50 will be increased in proportion
to the increase in the common labor
rate. All other classes will receive a
flat increase of 25 cents a Cay.
The new schedule affecting I'M
skilled labor is greater than that paid
by any Of the big manufacturing con-
Germs, the company says. Common la
Dor in the Standard Oil plants now re-
ceives 81 u cents an hour for eight
hours against 25 to 81 4 cents an hour

warning. In the United States the
housewife reads a quotation of a.

The first of a series of character
istic statements obtained from
George Bernard Shaw in a recent in
terview was in reply to this question:
What do you think of the present
attitude of the British public towards
the foreigner and his government ?"
The British public" said the noted
author. lis not really conscious of
any other public or any other in
terests. To it the universe consists
of a great central fact called, accord
ing to its size. Peckham, England or
the British empire.
Its atmosphere contains blacks,
who ought to be treated well when
they behave themselves; Huns, who
ought to be eXterminated: and allies.
who provide us with useful auxiliary
troops, and ought to be protected and
encouraged within propNr limits. Atti-
tudinizing is a foreign habit, like eat
ing squads and SnailS.''
War Due to Ignorance.
IF the British public took a sensi-
BILE attitude what do you think would
be the first thing it would demand ?''
1 asked of Mr.. Shaw.
1T would drop down dead" he re-
torted laconically, 'slain by the novel
ty of the sensation
Can you name any actual instances
when an informed British opinion
could have been of any practical use

From London today. thru an ex-
elusive news source. the state Jour
nal has received the following in
terview by DR.. Charles Sareola with
George Bernard Shaw.
Doctor Sareola is one of the most
distinguished of living Belgian
scholars. He IS a graduate of the
University of Liege and in 1894 be-
came head of the French depart
ment of Edinburgh university. As
Belgium consul in Edinburgh, as
editor of the popular weekly Every
man and as the author of n number
of notable works he has achieved
international fame. A biography of
Tolstoi and n study of the Anglo
German problem, remarkable for its
prophecies, which came true in the
present war, are among his most
important works. Recently Doctor
Sareola toured the United States
and Canada, lecturing in behalf of
the Belgian refugee. and as special
representative of King Albert.

in foreign affairs?" was my next ques-
ton.
Yes" said he. this war is due to
our insular ignorance of the terrifying
dangerousness of the military imagina-
ton of the situation of Germany. with
France on one frontier and Russia on
the other.
I'VE should have done either of
two things: Guaranteed Germany
against an attack from the west in the
event of an attack by Russia on the
central empire, or declared that if
Germany attacked France she would
have to fight US, too.
IF we had done the first. the war
would have been confined to the east
ern half of Europe.
IF we had done the second, there
would probably have been no war at
all. We did neither and the result has
been armageddon.
British Too Indifferent.
1--WE simply did not take any inter-
est in the situation of Germany or any
other continental power. We were
satisfied that as we felt all right they
must feel all right If they were reason
able people And we have not yet re-
covered from our scandalized surprise
at Germany losing her head and MAX
ing a desperate attempt to break by
force the ring that encircled her.
''All that is the result of pure ignor-
ance of foreign affairs, and, of course,
reckless Indifference to them"
