FOOD GAMBLING IS PROBLEM.

San Francisco-"The hysteria howl
that coolie labor is needed here to har-
vest the crops and produce food is as
hollow as it is hypocritical," says Or
ganized Labor, official paper of the Cal
ifornia State Building Trades Council
According to the authorities who
have made study of this question, and
the statement of President Lubin of the
California Housing and Immigration
Commission, there is sufficient supply
of labor in the country to take ample
care of the food production problem.
In fact, the production is not the prob
lem which is confronting the country
but to keep the food after it is pro-
duced away from the spectators and
gamblers. This is the problem
Give the farm laborer better wages
bilize them as required by the different
season i'll various parts of the country
conserve the food products and keep
tors and scoundrels who take advan-
tage of the war to starve the people
Let the federal and state govenment
bend their best efforts in that direction
let them call halt on the harmful hys-
terra which is rooted in greed and
which is trying to tear down all that
union labor has built in the last so
years; then the officials will be able to
meet every crisis and incidentally help
to popularize and win this great worlds
war for democracy That can not be
done by opening the flood gates to mil
lions of Asiatic coolies.
England, Australia and Canada, aft
er nearly three years OF active war,
have neither permitted nor found it
necessary to import Oriental coolie la
Dor for the purpose of producing food
stuffs.
"Why should the United States of
America do so?"

TRICKY TERMS CONFUSE.

Chicago-The term compulsory ar
bitration," which is as tricky as the
term "open shop" is placed in its prop
er relation by A. A. Graham, writing in
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen's Magazine.
Compulsory arbitration, like the
forced choice restrained liberty or
'black-white,' he says, SIS a misuse OF
terms, a contradiction, an impossible
thing, nonentity, for the reason that
whenever you undertake to make il
compulsory, you no longer have arbitra-
ton.
"Arbitration is entered upon by mu
tual agreement and not otherwise. Com
pulsion divests it of every element OF
arbitration. While you can have thi.
conditions and call it compulsory arbi-
tration,' yet you have something alto
gether outside and beyond arbitration
You then have litigation, the function
of court. One person may sue an
other, and compel him to come into
court and defend himself or his rights
if he have any, or judgment will be
taken against him by default, on which
execution will be issued This is pre-
cisely compulsory arbitration

HAD MONEY TO BREAK STRIKE.

New York.-When the New York
Railways Company was attempting to
smash the Street Car Mems Union, last
fall, its officers made this public boast
1--WE foresaw strike and prepared
for it. We have plenty OF money to fight
the strike on the surface lines and there
is no fear OF bankruptcy proceedings,
despite the statements OF the labor or
ganizers."
This company is now pleading with
the Public Service Commission to per-
nit it to raise rates, and its officers
whimper:
"Our purpose in taking this step is
to prevent, if possible, bankruptcy OF
company and thereby avoid any posi-
bic disintegration OF our unified serv-
ice"

LIKES THE WAY
AMERICA DOES

A German "alien enemy" walked into
one OF our banks last Wednesday and
purchased $50 Liberty Loan bond
When 1t came his turn to see the bank
official, he aroused the latter's suspicion
by carefully asking three or four times
II there were any people who could not
buy the bonds if they had the money.
He also wanted to know, when person
bought bond if his name became pub
lie in any way. The banker thought he
was dealing with demented person
until he questioned him more closely,
and then it developed that he was Ger
man born, still a subject of the Kaiser,
and reservist. He came to this coun-
try and to Cincinnati three years 40,
and has been working in one of the big
soap factories. He wife and all his rela-
tives reside in southern Germany.
His caution and his insistant ques-
tions, it developed, were because he
feared If his identity became known he
might be subject to danger at the hands
of the thousands of German agents in
Cincinnati.
He went on to say that, in various
ways, he had been able to send money
to Germany to his mother and his wife
since, and he wanted to put these saw
ings into Liberty Loan bond. He
was asked how he thought he could con-
sistently do this, and he replied, in
rather broken English
My woman and my mother are
starving in Germany because the Kaiser
wants the world. | can't send them
any more money, SO | will save my
money and buy bonds to help the
United States, which is going to end the
war and make Germany republic. !
was scared. They told me if the United
States went to war Americans would
take all my money and send me away to
Mexico to starve, or put me to prison
But | am working here and | get my
pay, and nobody bothers me. am a
German, but | like the way America
does, and buy a bond. When | get
more money buy another

ASIATICS NOT NEEDED.

Los Angeles, Cal.-"Beware lest we
usher into this State problem equal
to the colored problem of the South"
warned Mrs. Frances N. Noel, a mem
Der of the Los Angeles Industrial Com
mission, in opposing the plan to import
Asiatic labor.

have no less respect for other races, but
history has proven the tragic -conse-
quences when immigration and the
mingling of races is forced abnormally
and forced for the profit making OF a
few.
"We are told that Oriental labor will
have to be imported to fill the gaps
made by men who enlist On the other
hand we are assured by government au-
thorities that there are enough work
ers, but what is really needed is a wage
for them in keeping with the high cost
OF living"

DOLLARS NOT PATRIOTISM.

Knoxville, Tenn.-Employers in this
city are taking out Liberty Loan bonds
for their employees, who will pay for
same in installments, and Editor Keith
of the Plain Dealer says:
''This is fine, but how does it happen
that after a man has worked for some
OF these firms for years he is now I'M
able to raise $50 off hand?
"Workmen have gone into the Jaws of
hell in this industrial age, and they will
continue to do so, but patriotism is not
and can not be measured by dollars.

FIGHT FOR FREE SPEECH.

Norwich, Conn.-At the coming mu-
nicipal election trade unionists in this
city will make free speech the leading
issue. City officials have attempted to
prevent labor unions from holding pub
lie meetings.
Bridgeport trade unionists are also
objecting to infringement of their
rights. An ordinance makes it neces-
sary to secure permit from public au-
thorities before public meeting can
be held.

OPPOSE CHEAP WOMEN LABOR.

Tacoma, Wash.-At mass-meeting
of trade unionsts and sympathizers
resolutions were adopted against Ori-
entail labor and the employment OF wo-
men at rates lower than prevailing
standards. 1t was charged that capital
lists are attempting to use women and
Asiatics to break the back OF labor or
ganzations," and that women are being
employed in railroad shops in this city
at wage less than is paid men.

U. S. PLANS BIG FOOD ARMY
Secretary Houston Favors EnIistin9
100000 Men and Boys for
Farm Work.

Washington, April 16.-Proposals for
enlistment Of work army of 2,OO0,0 900
men and boys for agricultural service,
and other drastic steps to increase food
production during the war. were given
enthusiastic encouragement on Friday
at the department of agriculture. Sec
rotary Houston ordered wide publicity
given to resolutions adopted at the re-
cent st. Louis conference OF agricul-
ture experts looking to production of
greater crops as an emergency meas
ure. They recommend that con-
gress appropriate $25.OO0,OO0 for use
by the secretary of agriculture in such
a campaign.
upon the farmer rests in large
measure the final responsibility Of win
ming the war" declare the resolutions
made public here. Because of the
world shortage of food IL is scarcely
possible that the production of staple
crops by the farmers of the United
States can be too great this year."
1t Is recommended that boys under
military age and men beyond the age,
and those physically disqualified should
be enrolled In the national army for
labor in the production of food, NUM-
lions and supplies.

When Ground Becomes Dry II Is Ex-
pected Won Hindenburg viii Direct
Advance on Petroorad-The Duma
Government Lacks Military Strength.

Washington, April 1S.-There is no
longer concealment In official circles
of the apprehension felt over the
progress of events In Russia.
Disquieting news has been reaching
the state department from Petrograd
for some days. 1t backs up the judg-
ment Of expert military and naval ofil-
GERS of all the Russian allies that the
great country, with Its vast resources
of men and material, cannot be real
contender against the central powers
in the near future.
The duma government lacks the ele-
ments of strength which are absolutely
essential for the effective supply OF
large armies. officers no longer have
the control Of the men which they pos
sessed under the empire.
The socialists are conducting an ac-
tive propaganda, and In this are aided
and abetted by the German socialists.
There Is need of food for the people
and the army. munitions for the army,
and, above all, transportation.
SO grave are the problems, so con-
slant thesintrigues against the govern
ment. which are in part German in
spired, which the American people and
the allies must prepare for the eventu-
,ality that the Russian troops will no
longer be of much service.
That the present government Will
make peace Is not believed. 1t may
be driven to extreme lengths, how
ever, In order to save itself from over
throw.
Fortunately for the Russian armies.
the Germans are prevented from, max
Ing a vigorous offensive, largely be-
cause of weather conditions. and to
minor extent because of the heavy
attacks which the British and French
are delivering on the west front.
When the weather lets up and tho
ground becomes dry II is possible Won
Hindenburg may direct an advance,
with Petrograd as the objective.

RICH IN SPITE OF HIMSELF
Sea Captain Makes a Million Dollars
Because He Was Delayed in
Selling Cargo by a Lawsuit.

Human history Is full of instances
Of where men have made fortunes
through no efforts Of their own, but
there is no instance on record more
interesting than that Of the captain
Of the sailing vessel lndra. Those
who believe In luck should remember
it-for if there was ever case in
which luck figured 1t is this one, says
the Dayton (O) News.
The Indra is wooden affair, be-
longing to citizen of Germany. She
was half way across the ocean with a
cargo of nitrates, which she was TAX
ing from Chile to France, when she
encountered another and faster vessel
and communicated to her the informa-
ton that Germany and France. were
at war. So she turned about and made
for New York, where she landed safe
ly.
The captain tried to sell the cargo at
once TO New York parties. claiming
that the war had prevented his dellv-
erfng it to the consignees, but a suit
was brought against him to prevent his
doing so. The ease dragged along in
court until the other day, when 1t was
decided in the captains favor and he
was allowed to sell the nitrates. 1t
brought $l,00O,0O0 cash-that is the
point. 1t was worth 100000 when he
started across the ocean with Ii. He
tried to sell 1t for $4,000 when he
reached New York and when he was
stopped by the law suit. So the cap
tain finds himself more than 100000
ahead of the game, through no efforts
Of his own, or despite his efforts.
