Electricians. You will generally find
the members of the firm at work in
their shops, after school hours and in
the evening, turning out new products
or making repairs for their customers
and trying to gather in a few honest
pennies. 1t is a much better way of
spending their time than to be loung-
ing around on the streets frittering
away both time and money.
There is no doubt but what the
scarcity of certain articles of com
merce is the cause of the high prices
that are asked for certain commodities
and that prices will continue to rise so
long as the European war lasts. Ger
tain necessary products are not to be
PEELED to adjust ourselves to present
conditions. One is led to believe that
a part Of the talk about the necessity
of charging more for many of the
necessaries of life is fictitious. People
are taking advantage of the high-price
cry and are using it for their own bene-
fit. The story is told of a merchant in
the early days charging five cents for
a sewing needle. When the customer
asked him if he did not think that was
a high price for a needle he retorted
by reminding him of the freight
charges. We may be compelled to pay
by denying ourselves of articles we
can get along without just as well
prices will soon go back to their nor
NAL level. The practice of certain
economics will not hurt anyone.

SLOCUM EXONERATED
FOR COLUMBUS RAID
Not Held Responsible for Villas In
NasiOn Last March.

Washington, Aug. l-Coonel II. ].
Slocum of the Thirteenth cavalry has
been eXonerated by the secretary of war
of blame in connection with Francisco
Villas raid on Columbus ~ NJ, last
March. Colonel Slocum was in command
Of the American troops at Columbus. and
there has been n great deal of unofficial
criticism of the apparent circumstance
that his forces were surprised by the
Nillstas. This criticism suggested neglect
of duty on the part of Colonel SloCum.
All over the country stories have been
told of this or that alleged incident on
the night of Villas raid, all tending to
show that the American troopers were
not on guard and that no precautions
had been taken to prevent surprise at
tack.
1t was made known at the war dc.
partmcnt to-day that the Columbus in
cident had been investigated by spe-
cia inspector on the staff of Brig Gen.
Pcrshing The department made public
the Endorsements on the inspectors re-
port by General Pershinr, Major-Gen.
Funston, commanding the troops on the
border, and Maior-tien Scott, chief of
the general staff. \ recommendation
by the chief of staff that Colonel Slo-
upon his conduct, and that he and his
command are highly commended. was

GOVERNMENT APPEALED TO
Great Strike Is Inevitable, It Is
Said, Unless Strong Measures
of Intervention Are Speedily
IntrOduced-LabOr Depart.
ment Notified.

Washington. Aug. 2.-Officials Of
the federal government, including
President Wilson, are closely watching
developments in the controversy be-
tween 225 railway systems and their
100000 employees, and are preparing to
offer every possible aid in effecting an
agreement and avoiding strike.
To-day the President forwarded to
the labor department an appeal he had
received from the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States through
Harry a. Wheeler, chairman of the
chambers committee on railroads, de-
claring strike is inevitable unless
some strong measures of Intervention
are speedily introduced" and urgin,;
an inquiry. Acting Secretary of Labo,
Post said tonight he was in close
touch with the situation, but had not
decided whether action by the de-
partment would be necessary.
The federal board of mediation and
conciliation, which is authorized by law
to attempt to avert strikes on railroads,
also is keeping watch Of Developments,
and its officials expect to be called on as
soon as the strike vote, now being count
ed, has been completely canvassed.
Copies of the chambers appeal to
President Wilson were forwarded to
chairmen Of the congressional commerce
committees and to representatives of the
railroads and the employees. The chamber
is considering calling a conference here
to impress Congress with the advisabllty
Of immediate action.
MI Wheeler said he had recently at
tended a meeting of representatives OF
the employers and employees in New
Work and that a result his conviction
was deepened that an amicahle settle
ment was remote.
In anticipation Of a general conference
here on the question the chamber has
sent to all commercial bodies in the
country copies Of the letter to the Presi-
dent with a request that each send
representative to such y meeting.
