LABOR after WAR
AR0US|NG INTEREST
Britain's Demobilized Army to
Present Many Problems

London. July 10, Correspondence
war and the relationship between
master and men is receiving particular
attention in official as we'll as trade
circles. A belated report issued bv a.
subcommittee of the Reconstruction
Committee for the permanent i'm
provement of relations between en-
ployers AID workmen has just been is
sued and sent out to the leading EN-
ployers Associations and Trade
In a covering letter. Sir .. Shackel-
ton says that the War Cabinet is deep
ly concerned that timely measures
should be taken before the end of the
war for the future of industry
The report recommends the estab-
hshment of an organization for each
industry representative of employers
and employees to consider matters af-
fecting the trade from the point Of
view OF all those engaged in it.
One of the chief factors of the de-
mobilization problem, consists of the
guarantees given by the government
with Parliamentary sanction, to re-
store trade union rules and customs
, suspended during the war. The re-
port considers that the definite CO.
operation and acquiescence by both
employers and employed must be a
condition Of any setting aside of these
guarantees and undertakings and that
if new arrangements, satisfa Glory to
all parties but not in strict accord
ance with the guarantees, are to be
reached, they must be the joint work
of employers and employed.
National industrial councils are ad
vocated in order to secure co-opera
ton by granting to working men and
women a greater share in the consid
Grafton of matters affecting their in
dustry. The following questions are
mentioned as being specially suitable
! for consideration:
Better ultilsation of practical
knowledge and experience.
Means to secure to workers a great
err share in and responsibility for de-
termination and observance of condi-
lions of work.
, Settlement of general principles Of
EN- ployment including methods of fix
ing, paying and readjusting wages
ESTABLISHMENT OF regular methods OF
negotiation with view to preventing
differences between master and man.
Means of insuring to workers the
greatest possible security of earnings
and employment.
Technical education and training.
Industrial research.
Provision for full consideration of
| inventions and improvements designed
| by workers and for the adequate safe
guarding of the rights of the design
ers.
improvements of processes, ma
chinery and organization and full con-
sideration of workers point of view.
Proposed legislation affecting the
industry
No suggestions are offered in the
report on profit sharing, co-partner-
ship or particular systems Of wages.
I'VE are convinced says the report,
! that a permanent improvement in
the relations between employers and
employed must be founded upon
! something other than a cash basis

CITY OF RHEIMS IS
LIKE GHOST OF PAST
But Cardinal LuCon Believes
American Aid Means Victory

French Front, July 4 (Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press)-
Rheims is whiting. The big cathedral
city of the Champagne district has
the appearance of hollow shell
which has collapsed in parts and is
rapidly subsiding into shapeless
mass.
Not only the cathedral but all the
public buildings and private dwelling
houses have suffered terribly in the
last half year from the raging VEN
geance of the German gunners who
have turned a rain of shells on the
stricken city whenever their armies
have been defeated at any point of the
front. German reverses have been
so frequent since the allied offensive
began this year. that the city rarely
passed more than two or three DAYS
without undergoing severe lombard
ment.
Their are only 5000 persons left
out of a peace time population of
about $4,000. Among them are a
great proportion of women and chill
dren. Some of the younger women
have continued their work through
out, many of them being employed in
the Champagne cellars, where, dur
ing the day, they are comparatively
safe from the German fire.
Schools are still being carried on,
the classes being held far below the
street traffic and the municipal gov
eminent also is conducted in the
bowels of the earth where the city
fathers meet to discuss relief meas
ureS.

IN USE OF FLOUR
Government DEGREES UnWiS
Hoarding Of Foodstufs

Washington, D. c., July 26.-Buy
-four in small quantities and protect
it carefully from spoilage, is the key
note of a suggestion from the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Sound -four milled from standard
decompose when stored in a proper
manner Nevertheless, there is con-
siderable loss Of -four through spoil
age as a result of improper storage.
particularly during the summer
months. Flour dealers naturally have
to carry in storage an amount of
flour proportionate to the current
needs Of their trade. Housekeepers
on the farm and in the city should
purchase -four in accordance with
their needs only. 1t is false economy
for the housekeeper to purchase lar
ger amounts of -four than can be
used within a reasonable length of
time. This may be a barrel for q
large family; more often it will be
the 50-pound sack Any storage OF
flour in excess OF the consumers
needs constitutes boarding which,
under present circumstances, is an
unethical and reprehensible practice,
Of no profit to the Individual who.
practices it, but injurious to the best
interests of the people.
Since it is the duty of everyone in
the present situation particularly to
avoid all waste. 1t is incumbent upon
each one so to store the normal stock
of -four as to eliminate all waste what
soever. The precautions that are re-
CURED have been we'll worked out in
practice and are stated as follows by
specialist in the Department of Agri-
culture:
There are three cardinal principles
of -four storage Flour should not be
stored in the cellar, since the cellar is
rarely free from dampness, even
though special -four bins have been
built in. 1t Is common to find odorS
in a cellar and -four absorbs odors
and is contaminated by them. The
cellar is COOL but is usually too damp.
Flour should not be stored in the at
tic of the usual type The tempera-
ture is too high in summer. there is
no circulation of air, and the flour il
likely to acquire musty odor. Flour
should not be stored in the pantry
or kitchen except in small quantities
since the temperature is certain to be
uneven and the -four is likely to be
contaminated by odors. =
If practicable every household
should possess small room for stor.
age of non-odorous commodities. Such
a room is best located on the north
side of the building. 1t should be
ventilated and cool and even tenn
perature should be maintained.
Where such a room is not availa BILE q
closet may fit the requirements well. q
The bins or containers should be kept
clean, and when an old stock of -four
is exhausted, the container should be-
carefully cleaned before a new stock
is placed.
Naturally the flour must be guards
ed from vermin. Flour should be ex-
amined occasionally to see that de-
composition has not begun. Con-
served in this manner, the sack Of z
flour in the household and the large
stores OF the retailer can be utilized
practically to the exclusion of any

HOGS INFESTED WITH WunHs
animal Cannot Produce Pork Economi-
cally While in Weakened Condi-
tion-Remedy Is Given.

J A hog that is infested with worms
cannot produce pork economically, be-
cause its system is not in normal con-
dition. Furthermore such q hog is
also more susceptible to contagious
and other diseases than one not af-
fected in that manner. We have Of
ten made the statement that worms
are frequently the indirect cause of
cholera. Do not understand us to
say that worms will produce choleTs.,
says Il writer in an exchange. Far
from it. Cholera is q germ disease
and can be produced only by the ehol-
era germ, but strong, vigorous hog
is not nearly so susceptible to cholera
as is one whose system is in run
down condition.
A very good. practical remedy for;
worms consists in feeding one pound
of copperas to 100 pigs for Il period
Of five days. Then feed no copperaS
for six weeks; after that feed cop
peras for five days again us before and
continue this intermittent copp2ras
feeding from birth TO block. The cop
peraS should be dissolved in water
and mixed with the grain. preferably
ground grain of some kind. Many
hog feeders are using this remedy and
recommend it very highly.

COVERING FOR MANURE HEAP
If Protection of Some Kind Is Not
Given Valuable Nitrogen and
Nitrates Are Lost.

The manure heap is scene Of bac-
terial activities. When it lies very
long the nitrogen is transformed into
ammonia and escapes. When it escapes
it is gone forever.
Some of the manure changes into nj
trates, and these are washed away and
lost if the manure heap is uncovered.
Nitrates are soluble, and when they
are washed away the farm loses all
their value. A part Of the nitrates
are attacked by bacteria and become
nitrogen gas.

PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT
Quite as Much Depends on PreIimi-

Quite as much depends upon the
proper preparation of the soil for the
best development of plants as the use
of fertilizers. a case in point is that
of an intelligent Missouri farmer who
lived in q section where the idea pre-
vailed that wheat could not be profit
ably grown there. He had tried to
raise wheat on his farm, in the old.
rough way, and could get but ten or
twelve bushels per acre. He visited
the state experiment station at time
when plot of ground was being pre-
pared for wheat and became so i'm
pressed with their thorough methods
of soil preparation that he prepared
a field on his farm in the same way,
and from this harvested crop Of 35
