HOW TO MEET THE GROCERY BILL


what some of the pipe-dream enthu-
siasts believe it to be. Where a good
soil lot is available, open to the sun,
the amateur gardener should go in to
win, and he can win with onions, beans,
peas, corn, tomatoes, potatoes or cab
bage.
1t has become a commonplace to
denounce the American woman as be-
ing the most wasteful housewife in
the world. Even government officials
have fallen into this habit of excor-
iating the American mothers, who are
queens of the family cuisine. Quite
recently the secretary of agriculture
announced that the annual waste in
the kitchens of this country reached
the annual value of seven hundred mil
lions of dollars. How these figures
were obtained is not explained.
AS class the American housewives
need no public defender, nor do they
find much time in which to advertise
their qualities of thrift. The majority
of housewives are the slaves of their
husbands wages or salaries, and if
salaries and wages, anywhere in the
United States, have risen in the same
proportion as the prices of eggs, but
ter and meat, that locality has not
advertised it's good fortune very
extensively.
War conditions have forced women
to conserve their resources, to elimi-
nate waste, and in thousands of homes
to reduce both the quality and the
quantity of the food placed on the
table.

PRINTING TRADES
UNITE IN TACOMA
JOINT CONTRACT SIGNED,
CLOSED SHOP SECURED.
Every Printing Trade Union, Proprie-
tors of Job Shops and Newspapers
Come Together and Agree on
Scales to Expire in Unison.
Especial Correspondence.)

TACOMA, Wash, June 1.-THE
most notable event that has ever taken
place in the printing history of Tacoma
was consummated Tuesday of last
week. That was the signing of the
joint contract and agreement with
every union in the printing trades and
the newspapers, also several of the
largest job offices and many of the
smaller ones.
This joint contract, which provides
that all wage scales begin and expire
at the same time, is conceded to be
the logical solution to save time, worry
and expense, both for the unions and
the proprietors, eliminating the deal
ing with seven separate local organi-
cations at different times.
The new contract just signed by all
parties to the agreement runs to De-
cember 81, 1918. After that date an
other joint agreement will be sub
mitted and the plan continued. There

AHOUSE DIVIDED
By SCOTT NEARING.

The United States cannot hope to
exist part democratic and part pluto
cratic. 1t is inconceivable that two
huge social forces like democracy and
plutocracy should divide the field be-
tween them. There is no such thing
as compromise. The issue must be
met and decided, once for all. There
may be discussion on the details, but
on the main issue discussion is impos-
sible-unthinkable.
The conflict between the South and
the North over the slavery issue was
of like character. The greatest states
men of the day tried compromise.
There was the compromise of 1850;
there was the Kansas n Nebraska bill.
Both sides labored. Each was willing
to give and take. But neither was
willing to concede the one fundamental
point without which negotiation, dip
lomacy and compromise were mere
wasted effort.
Were the slave states or the free
states to rule? That was the ques-
ton. Abraham Lincoln put it like this
in his debate with Judge Douglas at
Altoon, October Is, 1858: THAT is
the real issue. That is the issue that
will continue in this country when
these poor tongues of Judge Douglas
and myself shall be silent. 1t is the
eternal struggle between the two prin-
ciples-right and wrong-thruout the
world. They are the two principles
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-06-16

can be no doubt about this plan being
to all parties, as much
time and careful thought has been ex-
ercised by all parties concerned.
The bookbinders, press feeders and
pressmen have secured a very slight
increase in wages under the new con-
tract, but the printers and stereotyp-
ers have not asked for an increase at
this time.
When the plan was first proposed
several months ago, doubt existed in
the minds of some of the members of
the different organizations as to its
being possible to get together with the
employers, and some even went so far
as to prophesy that the joint action
would not live thirty days; but their
doubts have been dispelled and peace
and harmony is at least assured for a
year and half.
Thus harmony prevails and the
printing trades unions of Tacoma have
finally decided that it is better to
chang" together than to "hang" sep
arately.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-06-16

that have stood face to face from the
beginning of time, and will ever con-
tinue to struggle. The one is the
common right of humanity, and the
other the divine right of kings. II is
the same principle in whatever shape
it develops itself. 1t is the same spirit
that says, You work and toll and earn
bread and III eat it. No matter in
what shape it comes, whether from the
mouth of a king who seeks TO bestride
the people of his own nation and live
by the fruit of their labor, or from one
race of men as an apology for en-
shaving another race, it is the same
tyrannical principle" Was an out
worn, generally discarded form of
economic and social organization to be
perpetuated as the dominant power in
the American government, or was the
system of economic and social organi-
zation called freedom of contract" to
assume the position of supreme power
The issue was fundamental. 1t had
to be met and settled
War was by no means inevitable
The slaves might have been bought
and freed by the government. The
North might have abandoned its fac
tory system and gone back to an agri-
cultural basis. But one of those two
things must occur, and when there
was arrayed, as in this case, an out
lived, discredited form of social organ
ization against new, vital and ap-
parently superior form of organiza-
ton, there was only one way in which
the conflict could end
Slave labor or free contract?
That was the issue that became the
gordian knot of nineteenth century
American craftsmanship and was cut
only by the sword

EXPOSE A STRIKE BOMB PLOT.

Rufus Patterson, private detective,
convicted of placing a bomb in the
pocket of a laborer during the culinary
workers strike in San Francisco, has
confessed. The plan was to have the
two pickets in front of a restaurant
knocked down by slugger. Two de-
tectives were then to rush up to the
fallen pickets and place the bombs in
their pockets while they assisted them
to their feet. The slugger was then
to escape, while the pickets would be
arrested. Patterson intended to col
lect $1,000 reward offered by the
chamber of commerce as part of its
claw and order" campaign.

True Mahogany Scarce.

A bulletin published by the de-
partment of agriculture on the subject
Of mahogany records, among other in
teresting facts, the bewildering am
biguity of the term mahogany" True
mahogany is produced only by two
closely related species Of trees, Swie-
tenia mahagoni Jacq, and Sweitenia
macrophylla King, both natives Of
tropical America. The name "mahog-
any," with or without some qualify
ing word such as INDIAN" Madeira"
African" philippine" etc., is, how
ever, applied to cabinet woods grown
in a great many parts Of the world.
These so-called mahoganies belong to
81 distinct species, of Al genera, and
they are scattered through IS families
Of the vegetable kingdom. OF some Of
the West African species the botanical
status is unknown. To add TO the con-
fusion, true mahogany has many names
and several more or less distinct vari-
cites are recognized commercially.
