LABOR UNIONS AGAIN

There is a tendency in some official
circles to minimize the blame put on the
labor unions as a result Of the strikes that
are now being agitated throughout the union
1t is suggested that the labor unions are
justified because of high prices, which con-
dition is in turn laid at the door of the food
SPECTATORS.
AS matter Of fact high prices as COM
pared to the pay of skilled labor have nothing
to do with the trouble. There are thousands
of men who work for less money than
members Of the union and who support their
families and enjoy fair amount of happi-
ness and prosperity. Clerks drummers, sales
men, stenographers, book keepers and many
business men receive less pay than skilled
laborers. The real trouble with the member
OF the labor union is that he has been edu-
Gated up to the belief that some unusual
honor attaches to him because he is labor
ing man. He has reached the point where
he feels that he confers an honor on his en-
ployer by condescendlng to work for him.
The next natural impulse is for the
union man to dictate to his employer and it
takes shape in his joining the union and at
taching himself to the walking delegates
The present critical condition in the
affairs of the nation affords him an oppor-
tunity to push his demands which he can
not forego. Liberty and patriotism do not
appeal to him when the chance to strengthen
his order is presented. The worst of the
whole matter is that we are just at the be-
ginning of our troubles with the labor unions.

DESERT LEADER MANN
Republicans No Longer VIII Support
Him In Delay OF Food
Control Bill.
IBy Associated Press.


WASHINGTON. July 26.-While Sem
ate and House conferees were begin
ming their work to-day on the long
delayed food control bill. sentiment
among House Republicans crystallized
against further delay in it's enactment
through Republican Leader Mann's
fight for creation of n joint congress
s!onal committee on war expenditures.
At an informal conference of Re-
publican Representatives it was made
clear to Mr.. Mann, according to those
present. that no partisan fight on the
question at this time could command
the support Of the party's representa-
tion in the House. Former Speak er
Cannon and Representative Miller. Of
Minnesota. made the principal pleas
against the party leaders, course and.
although no vote was taken. the gen.
eral agreement after the meeting was
that the fight for the war committee
amendment would not be- pushed.
Hope OF getting the measure through
conference and ready for President
Wilson's signature next week was
frightened somewhat by the develop
ment, but the leaders pointed out that
even with agitation for the war COM
mittee amendment slenced in the
House. the Senate remained on record
as favoring 1t. and fight there still
that the provision be eliminated be-
cause he believes It will only harass
those charged with conducting the war.
