REFLECTS SMALL INCREASE.

Chicago street car men
have rejected the offer of surface lines
in this city to sign three-year contract
with 32-cent an hour provision. These
employees refuse to accept this rate in
the midst of world war, with the pur-
chasing power of the dollar diminishing.
Editor Bland of the Union Leader, Of
fetal newspaper of these workers, says:
"Of course, the company assumes the
right to appropriate your patriotism and
coin it into dividends You should forget
the fact that while the people are en-
crossed in the serious business of war
the company is prosecuting vigorous
campaign for one of the most lucrative
franchises ever proposed in traction his
tory. War or peace, it matters not, the
efforts to establish a dividend-paying
property that will eclipse anything yet
realized never ceases.
"But 80 cents an hour is your por-
ton"

CHECK ON FOOD
SPECULATORS URGED

High prices are the di-
rect effect of the vacuum caused by war
exports and if we do nothing we will see
the fundamental staples sucked out of
our country and range of prices estab-
liShed that no labor can endure"
This statement was made by Herbert
I. Hoover, ex-chairman Of the Belgian
Relief Commission, at one of the meet
hgs Of the congressional labor group
and A. +. of l.. officials, at the A. F. of
l.. Building, called by President Com
pers last week to consider the food ques-
ton.
Mr.. Hoover, it is announced, will be
food administrator under the food con-
troll legislation now pending in congress.
In the first sentence of his talk to the
trade unionists he expressed this opinion
On organized labor:
lie l;bor movement is the only ade-
quate representation of the consumer"
lie was emphatic that his plan does
rationing of the people," and that me-
thods employed in Belgium and Ger
many can not fit with American ideals.
He made distinction between "legiti-
mate speculation" which he said he used
gitimate speculation" the latter being
profiteering on the war, woe and want
He illustrated his views on "illegitimate
speculation" by the statement that specu-
lators have already contracted for 40
per cent of this years rice crop before
it is up out of the ground" and that rice

and producers by men who will set
prices without regard for costs.
Competition between the allies and
this country has jumped the price of
Cuban raw sugar from IA cents a
pound before the war to 6H cents at the
present time. Sugar is the basis of 12
per cent of the peoples food. The same
condition prevails in wheat, the basis OF
40 per celt of food.
His solution is to Stabilize prices" by
establishing boards that will set range
of prices for these commodities and
make the road to the producer and con-
sumner more direct by cutting out waste
and eliminating as much as possible the
speculator and middleman, as there is
point in prices where any advance is
transgression on the rights of the
people"
/ To indicate the waste in food products
he said that per cent of the bread
| baked was returned to bakers by retail
ers, and although some of this bread is
sold, IS per cent of it is burned by the
bakers. This means ~ to 2 per cent
of our total bread consumption is used
as fuel i'll the manufacture of bread.
Today flour is selling in New York, he
said, for $14 and SIS barrel because
each one in the long chain between the
farmer and consumer demands con-
tract to protect him on his wheat cost
while the miller bets on the market.
"The farmer doesn't get the money
he said, "and the consumer pays it."

any of them, or any others. are guilty.
they will have difficulty in escaping
the full penalty of the law, and it will
/ be just as well now to give notice to
any who propose to commit the crime
of interfering in any way with the Sc
lective draft, which is mighty near trea-
son, if it is not treason, that they need
not expect any mercy here Further
than that-and | am not talking to any
body in the room particularly, | am
talking to those who may read what
say do not want the women and chill
dren sent here to plead with me to let
their husbands and fathers escape the
penalty of the law. 1t is very difficult
to Withstand crying woman with her
children. People who contemplate COM
hitting crimes against the United States
must remember their own women and
children.
IF, in the particular case, the testi-
mony does not show the man guilty this
Court will protect him fully. This Court
will not permit any innocent man to be
convicted; but I want this warning in
advance, that if he is guilty then he
must take the consequences. Now, let
tllat be understood.
here are so many young men and
young women who are led into things
that otherwise they would not get into
by designing persons. We know there
are even citizens of the United States
in this locality who are not loyal to the
United States and whose interest it is,
as they think, to get others to do what
they are afraid to do themselves When
the time of conviction comes of those
poor misled tools, if they are found
guilty then the plea will be made that
they were led into it by others. That
plea will not be considered if that time
comes.
"Whoever is found guilty in this great,
critical time of fighting for the principles
of freedom and the liberty of the world,
including that of the United States, who
ever is found guilty of blocking the
hands of the President Of the United
States and of Congress, who are now
seeking to see to it that that liberty shall
be maintained, will feel the full weight
of the penalty that the Congress of the
United States has provided for such
crime.
"Now, whether this will do any good
or not | do not know 1t is only the
guilty man who need fear. The inno-
cent man will go forth from this room,
but the guilty man will receive full pun
ishment
"Now, what 7 am saying all this for ?
For the good hope it will do as a
warning to traitors, and so that, per-
haps, some of the poor, weak-minded
easily led. and mistaken young people
may keep away from the wiles of those
who are more designing then they. That
is what it is for"

Seals have been printed and practical
" that entire number distributed to
agents in every state and territory of

Zone, from Porto Rico to Hawaii. and
even In the far-off Philippines. Ad-
vertising circulars, posters, cards, etc..
to the number Of several millions. have
also been distributed. Not less than
100000 personal letters asking peo-
pie to buy Seals have been sent out.
II is estimated that the army Of work
ers. nearly all Of whom are volunteers,
engaged in selling the Seals numbers
well over 10000. The advertising
and publicity devoted to the campaign
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars. Every effort Is being put
forth to sell 1O0.OOOOOO Seals. or only
one for every man, woman and child
In the United States. This will mean
100000 for the anti-tuberculosis
campaign In the United States. Over
