KNIGHTS OF HIGHWAY
FLOCK INTO CHICAGO
The ssSlave Market" There is
Their Summer Rendezvous;
Refuse to Enlist.

Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys
are marching, but they won't
enlist seasoned old campaigners
of the road though they be.
These particular boys
whose summer rendezvous is the
Chicago "slave market" on Madi-
son street near the river, are
variously known as bindle stiffs,
ear-chewers and members of the
Complete Rest society. Because
of their numerous presence in
the block which boasts more
employment offices than any 9TH
er in the world, recruiting Off
ces have dubbed the place
"slackers lane."
There are perhaps $500 of
these knights of the highway.
With other citizens who toll not
nor spin, they have been win
tering in Southern California
and Florida, but now they are
Hooking back to their old haunts.
Why they congregate among
the employment agencies no.
body knows. The agencies mean
nothing to them. Because of
these agencies, the l. w. w.
dubbed that part of Madison
street the "slave market"
At foraging for provisions,
recruiting sergeants believe
these gentlemen would prove an
asset to any army. Uncle Sam
needs fighters, but when the re-
cruiters invaded "slackers lane"
their appeals went unheard.
'What has the government
ever done for me? 2" was a stock
reply. The mobilization of un-
employed grows greater daily.
With selective conscription as
authority, old-fashioned "press
gang" raids may be directed
against the slave market.

Des Moines. Feb. 22.-In urging upon
the Iowa legislature the necessity OF
providing sufficient moneys for the
next biennial period, beginning July ],
the Iowa state railroad commission is
sounding a warning against what
they claim will be an attempt on the
part of the railroads operating in the
state to bring about a serious increase
in freight rates some time during next
spring. In a statement TO the appro-
priatiOns committees of the house ana
senate. the commission asserts that
unless funds are given to the commls-
sion with which to safeguard the rates
as they now exist. the loss TO Iowa
shippers thru increased freight rates,
and TO Iowa travellers, due to increased
passenger rates will total into millions
Of dollars.
A statement sent to the appropria-
tions committees of both houses says
in part:
The most important situation which
confronts us at this time is the as
sured fact that the carriers operation
in Iowa will soon publish freight tariffs
which will apply on Interstate traffic
to Iowa stations from cities located
Just outside the borders Of our state.
These outside cities referred to are
located just over the border from Iowa
cities whose business also moves to
the same Iowa stations These pro-
posed freight tariffs VIII he greatly in
excess Of the rates as fixed by the
Iowa railroad commission and which
rates viii continue to apply from Iowa
cities To the same points. This would
result in a decided advantage to the

bring at issue at once the reasonable
ness of the Iowa state rates, with the
possibility that such rates may meet
the same fate that has already be-
fallen the state rates made in Ne
braska. Texas and South Dakota"

POTATOES AT Sc CENTS.
What the Consumer Paid After He Did
Bit Of Stock Manipulation Of His Own

Special to Times Republican. -
Cedar Falls. Feb. 22.--W. S. Willard
prominent clothier here. took smash
at the high cost of living today.
Willard saw prices climbing last fall
and laid in supply of potatoes. He
bought twenty-six bushels of l.. H.
Keep, grocer, for 500. He had twice
as many potatoes as any family could
eat in year so today he sold back to
Keep ten bushels for $50. It figures
this way: Willard got sixteen bushels
Of potatoes for 50, or 564 cents per
hushel. The grocer says his custome"
would make success as market
manipulation. .-
Another customer who failed to
stock up on potatoes in tie fall says
its time the government got into quick
4ctiDn With its food probe when pOta-
toes are selling for twice as much as
fancy apples.
This customer bought bushe! Of
potatoes for $500 and included IS
cents of eating apples in the order.
Counting the potatoes he found the
bushel contained exactly eighty at u
cost of cents apiece. He received
twelve apples for his quater at cost
Of Liz cents each.
He's going in for apple dumplings
with potato chips for dessert, he says,
until after the war.
