WAGES EXPLOITED. - We buy
clothing, food, shelter, transporta-
ton, pleasure, etc., with our wages.
A great, clumsy system of distribu-
ton of products is controlled by the
main trusts, who dictate to the differ
ent middlemen, who dictate to us
consumers in turn. We produce an
article with our labor and then are
told what we shall pay for what we
produced.
We can pay ten times the cost Of
production and kick like a "bay
steer" but only can we remedy our
plight when we have got down to a
business basis and own a few stores,
restaurants, etc., where the arti-
Cles we produced can be distributed.
Farmers near us let things go to
waste and what they sell is usually
doubled in price before we get it.
There is a way to stop this, and every
smart person knows it, but being we
hardly know our next door neigh
bors in this city we fail to get to-
getheT.
Exactly what we must do can be
determined and it will be of equal
financial benefit to all working peo-
pie. You know we will have to make
a small start, specialize in one line
Of business and develop a system Of
buying and selling and cut our own
cost of living and then show others
how to do it, for it will be to the adj
vantage of all.

London, March 2s-Dr CHRISTOPHER

for munitions. revealed to the House of

The announcement by Dr. Addison
which brought out these opinions was
that six leaders of a body calling it

had been attempting to foment strikes
among munitions workers on the Clyde
had been removed from the district by
the mlntary authorities. In making the
announcement DR., Addison added that
the committee had in particular attempt

guns were being made and in five cases
had succeeded. The strikes bore no re-
lation to industrial conditions. he said
and We're denounced by trades union

DR.. Addison explained further that the
trouble arose on March II, in one case

from that time on a series Of strikes

Finally. the minister of munitions mad
requested the military authorities to re-
