To GUST PRIVATE
LIABILITY ! FIRMS

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 18.-Off-
GERS of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor have filed petitions sufficient to
initiate bill ousting: private liability
companies from: the state. The petit
tons filed bear 41,659 signatures from
6S of the 8S counties. About $4,000,
or per cent of the voters at the last
general election, is needed. The
unionists say that many more sigma
lures were obtained, but these are
withheld for use in case the legisla-
ture rejects the bill. In this event the
proposal will be submitted to refer
endum by the addition al signatures Of
per cent of voters:
THE child h as been born and we
are now turning it over to the nurse, :"
said T. J. Donnelly of Cincinnati, Sec
rotary of the federation. John A.
Voll, GAINESVILLE, president of the fed
GRAFTON, said the filing of: the petitions
might as we'll be considered funeral
services" Tor the liability companies.
AS originally passed the law was
intended to provide only for. state
compensation. A ruling by the state
Insurance commissioner, however,
permits private companies to write
insurance, and this has been sus-
tanned by the state supreme court.
The State Federation of Labor now
proposes to destroy this decision by
driving the private companies out OF
the state.

Agitation Started By Los Angeles
Housewives League May
Bring Results. -.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 49,
With women taking the lead in the
agitation, it is possible that the city
may be compelled to act by the
strength of the movement which has
for it's aim the establishment of CITY
marketing. The recently formed
Housewives League of Los Angeles
started the demand that the city do
the marketing, then sell at as near
cost as possible, so as to reduce the
ever climbing costs of foods.
At meeting here, called by the
league. almost as many men as
women showed up. The program
was outlined by Mrs. S. B. T. Wat
son, president of the league.
1--WE will demand of the mayor and
the city council she said, that they
bring fish from the coast in motor
trucks, and that they buy vegetables
by the truck-load from market gar
deners and farmers in the city and
nearby towns, and that the city OF
Los Angeles sell this food at a low
price.
eve will ask them to retail this
food at cost on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays. We now pay IS cents
a pound for stale fish. The city can
and should sell us fresh fish at
cents a pound. Vegetables can he
bought for two-thirds less than the
dealers are charging"
The plan is endorsed by Council
woman Lindsay.

STATE SHOULD

(By Call News Service.)

NEW YOR1-, Jan. 1S.-"There is

cheaper for the public that way" de-
clared State Senator George F.
Thompson in speaking of his report
OF the Thompson investigating COM
mittee, which will be submitted to
the legislature in the near future
The report will urge the taking over
by the state of any public utility
when the managers cannot agree
with the workers in time of strike
as to how to settle the issues in
volved.
III shall recommend" Senator
Thompson said, that in future
where public utility is concerned,
and where the managers and the
strikers cannot agree on a SETTLE
ment, the public service commission
take over and run the utility in ques-
ton.
'The commission can put the strik-
ers back to work.: The strikers have
right to eat while they are on

CARPENTERS HOLD
BUSY SESSION
Will Secure Building Site for
Hall-P. G. Phillips Ad-
dresses Meeting.

The regular meeting Of the Car
penters' union held last Tuesday even
ing was one of the best attended ever
staged by that organization. P. G.
Phillips addressed the members on an
economic subject, and the enthusi-
asm and interest manifested by those
present indicated the effectiveness of
the talk.
In an effort to create more interest
and secure larger attendances at fu-
ture meetings, arrangements are be-
ing made to have some prominent
speaker present at each meeting. It
is expected that this innovation will
prove popular with the members.
A committee was appointed to look
into the proposition of securing a de-
sirable building site, so that this
union may take steps for the erection
of a meeting hall.

ECONOMY IN HOME
Many Ways in Which Money May

Substitutes for Expensive Meats
and Other Table Furnishings
Are Possible.

We all know, if we have given the
subject any thought, that the feeding
Of the family is the most expensive
item in the list of household accounts.
Every housewife Should keep a
careful account of her income and
outgo. Too many of. u are like the
young bride who was given a set of
books in which to keep her accounts
and when asked by her, husband at
the end Of the month if her accounts
balanced, showed him the book, on

pensive of our foods, any economy in
the purchase of it. will make mo-
ticeable reduction in the food bill.
BY Using mo-. substitutes of CHI oese,
nuts and milk, which are less
expensive but fully as nutritious, the
expenses may be reduced. Cheese
has food value of tWic. that of meat
pound for pound, and can be used
with much less waste. The use of
cheese in combination with milk and
eggs makes a most s.: tisfactory SUBJ
stitute for meat
The cheaper cuts of meat may be
utilized more often, and on the farm
all kinds Of meat may be sailed,
picked, canned or dried for future
use. So that in time of plenty, pre-
pare for the famine. Pork sausage.

it makes perfect seal seal over the
sausage, will keep to use in mid
satisfaction, for it is SO easy to get it
ready: fpr brea kfast, as it. needs but
little more cooking. Chicken"may be
canned when too much is cooked and
set away for another time when an
emergency calls it forth.
The utilizing of left-overs in the
planning of the meals is anotho. i'm
portant point for the housewife to
consider. It goes without saying that
she plans her menus days ahead in
order to save expense and use these
left-overs acceptably.
Fruits and vegetables lend them
selves to all sorts of combinations as
salads and soups, and make dishes
that are tasty ar wholesome.
The costly habit of eating more
than we need is not only wasteful of
material, bad on the complexion, but

food than is used, pairing away vege-
tables and fruits, cooking vegetables
in so much water that much of the
food value is wasted, throwing away
the trimmings and bones of meat,
that would make good broths, stews
or soups-these are some of the
wastes that need to be watched. Con-
slant vigilence is the price of success
in expenditures as in other things.

OLD-AGE PENSION
PLEA IS BACKED
BY LOW WAGES

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 1S.-Observ-
ing trade unionists are connecting
Governor McCall's plea for a COM
pensions for workers with prevailing
low wages in this state.
The governor discounts the theory
that insurance and pension systems
would tempt workers ito throw aside
their ambition to achieve a Compel
ency,' for the reason, says the COVER
nor, that "the members of the groups
to which it would practically be ap-
p1icable work for wages which would
not permit of saving upon any suf-
f1cient scale, and with little to save
they would have little to squander."
The last report of the state bureau
of statistics justihes the governors
statement that low wages in this state
make saving impossible. It is esti-
mated that during 1914, ~ per cent
of the adult wage earners in this state
were paid less than $500 a week; $50
per cent were paid between So and SIS
week, and 1878 per cent were paid
SIS week and over. OF the adult
females, 36.9 per cent were paid less
than So a week, 5S.s per cent between
So and SIS week, and 49, per cent
$l5 a week and over:
While trade unionists suggest that
wage rates in this state should permit
workers to live lives that include
more than a mere sustenance, Cover
nor McCall's remedy is state medical
supervision: and old-age pensions for

VOCATIONAL
EDUCATIONAL
BILL PASSES
(By Call News Service.)


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The vo-
cational educational bill, appropriate
ing $3S,40O,O00 out of the federal
treasury to aid the states in voca-
tional education, was the first bill
passed by the house of representa-
tives after the holiday recess.
The bill has already passed the
senate in much the same form as the
house bill. The slight differences will
be s-..oothed olt in conference within
a few days, an | the bill will then go
to President Wilson for his signature
It is the first admin ration measure
passed by the house during this ses-
sion.
Representative Hughes of Georgia,
In explaining the measure, declares:
Vocational education as defined in
this bill refers to that kind of prac-
teal education which is designed to
prepare girls and boys for useful en-
ployment or occupation.
1T is especially designed to prepare
workers for the more common occu-
pations in which the great mass of
our people find employment"
The parliamentary promoters of
the legislation. with their eyes fixed
upon an extension of the foreign
trade of the United States in the face
of severe compc'i ton from abroad,
assert that the vocational education
subsidized by the federal treasury in
the manner outlined by the Hughes
Dill will inc ase the efficiency Of
the wage Garner, whether on the farm
or in the Industries, by insuring an
intelligent direction and the applica-
ton of energy in production" the as
sumption being that the employer
will ''pay more FIR Drawn when d.
rected by brain.'
The initial appropriation from the
federal treasury for the year 1918
will be $1,700,C09, increasing by an
nual. increments until 1925, when the
appropriation aggregates $3S,00O,00O.
In order to secure this amount,
Which is app rtioned among the
states accordin; to their population,
each state must match the amount
contributed by the federal govern
ment. Should this be done, by 1925
there will be q total annual expendi-
ture in the United States of $76.-
10000 in order to increase the ef-
hclency' of the working people.
Federal aid to vocational education
has the support of organized labor
generally. The labor movement in
slsts, however, that the system shall
be administered to meet the needs Of
the workers rather than the profits of
the employers.
