This Time.

Americas purpose in the war-a

The members of the league, he de-
clared. are striving, with the approval
of the administration, to emphasize
the high purpose of the war as defined
by President Wilson, in the belief that
this is the best way to stir up martial
cnirit which must be the basis OF all
effective preparation. The league, 1t
is unnecessary to point out, is not

INSURE AGAINST
CHASTITY DEFEAT.

The American people have
plunged into the gulf of war
and they must fight theiI way
out with sword and sinew.
The sword of victory will be
forged from the dollars of the
people. The Liberty Loan will
help to win the war. The alter
native is an overwhelming
disaster for us.
We are at war, whether we
like it or not. The groans OF
our wounded have not yet
reached our ears. The casualty
lists our dead havfe not yet
been posted. The full force
of our sacrifice has not yet
been felt. But these will
come.
The United States has to
fight its way to liberty by wad-
ing through blood and every
solemn nature of the death
American home will feel the
grapple. The world can be
made safe for democracy"
only after year or more OF
tremendous sacrifice in men
and money.
Our 100000 army of liberia
ton will fight in Europe; but
the real fight will be at home
to back up that army with dol
lars. Every dollar that the
people can save from current
income and from additional
economies will be needed.
No man is exempt. No man
is too poor to do his bit by
subscribing for a Liberty Loan
bond, a $50 bond, or a 500
ond.
1t is the duty of every man
to make a solemn effort to save
up for the purchase of bond.
In doing so he not only insures
victory in place of defeat fofss
the United States, he not only
insures his own savings in
gilt-edge interest-bearing con-
vertible investment in first
mortgage on the United States,
but he insures the contin-
uance of business and industry
and of his own occupation.
Take out your war insurance
to-day; buy a Liberty bond.

Editor The Labor World,
Duluth, MINI.
Dear Sir and Brother:
The employees of the Duluth Show
Case company, mostly members of our

in case of a strike, they would stay
with the company or stick to the
local. When they decided to stick
to the local they were informed to
60 to the office and get their time.
About thirty-fve men were affected,
the majority of which have secured
positions elsewhere.
They were asked this because we
have trade movement on at present,
for better working conditions and in
crease in pay, to meet the high cost
of living.

SUSPEND PROFITS
SUGGESTS G0MPERS
Makes Suggestion To President
Of Continental Can Company
OF New York.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Writing
as chairman Of the committee on la
Dor, advisory commission, council of
national defense, President Gompers
makes this suggestion to r. G. Cran-
we'll, president, Continental Can COM
pany, Syracuse, N. Y:
''Suppose you and your fellow MAN.
ufacturers were willing to suspend en-
tirely in this hour Of the country's
emergency, the pursuit of profits;
would there be any possibility of a
shortage Of tin cans?"
The manufacturer urged B. modifi-
cation of laws governing the hours
for women workers, which was dis
agreed to by President Golhpers al
though the trade unionist says he
fails to understand how he can be OF
some assistance" in this case.
In answer to the claim that there is
scarcity of labor. President Com
pers says:
1T is to be regretted that there is
no public method by which such as
sertions may be proved or disapprov-
ed.
There may be scarcity Of some
kinds of labor in your district at low
err wages than are acceptable to unem-
ployed persons who might fill a de-
mand at what they regard as living
wages at steady work.
I'm all these cases the absence OF
public employment agencies which
might indicate the movement of sup
ply and demand of workers, leaves
the interested observers without other
help than their own or other mems
guess work.
President Gompers quoted state
ments made by officers of the Anal
gamated Association Of Iron, Steel and
Tin Worwers in conference with
Secretary of Commerce Redf1eld and
himself that the deficit in the output
of cans could not be laid to the door
Of labor, as it could be shown that in
certain places members of this union
are not working full time.

Army Rations' Cost Trebled

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The report
of the quartermaster's department Of
the United States army is referred to
skeptics on the subject Of high cost
Of living.
According to figures made public
it costs almost three times as much
to feed an American soldier today as
it did in the Spanish-American war.
The cost in 1898 was 1881 cents a.
day. Now it is 80 cents. The ration
is fixed standard, but the cost has
mounted steadily in recent years.
Omitting fractions, recent costs are:
Year of 1914, "a cents a day; 1915,
rs cents; 1916, 2e cents; January l.,
1917, 20 cents: May /, 1917, 81 cents.

INCONSISTENT GOVERNOR
WHITMAN.

Governor Whitman is reported to
in New York City:
"What the city needs Is more
vegetable gardens and less roof gar
dens."
AS far as the need of more vege-
table gardens is concerned, the gov
ernor is right. The pity of it is that
he has himself opposed the very
means which would have made more
vegetable gardens possible. The
reason that vegetable gardens are
not more plentiful is because high
land prices and taxes on labor pro-
ducts make most of the existing
ones Improbable, and check the
starting of new ones.
There has long been in New York
an agitation for forcing vacant land
into use. The way to do this is by
untaxing of industry and by increas-:
ing taxes on land values. Bills to
this effect have been introduced in
New York legislatures for several
years past, and are pending in the
present legislature. If Governor
Whitman had exerted himself on be-
half of these bills, at any time, they
would not have been smothered by
hostile committees. If he were to
exert himself now, the bills now
pending would be reported out and
probably passed.
But so far is known the governor
is unwilling to risk the wrath ct big
landed Interests by working for the
one measure that will remove tho
cause u food scarcity and exorbitant
prices. While saying that moro 7ege.
table gardens are needed, he is vir-
tuaily fighting against making them
possible. The situation speaks for
