she stammered out her plight and her
hasty request "Of course. 1 know II

Speaking recently to gathering #
business men, one of the experts of
the food administration said that the
penalty features of the food law would
be used only to protect the patriot
from the Stacker, and that the food
administration hoped for the assist
ance of citizens in enforcing the law
by making known any violations that
come to their notice.
To report violations is a patriotic
duty. After several months of per-
picking detail work, in making war
adjustments in the machinery for
manufacturing and distributing our
food supplies, the food administration
has now reached point where we can
look for definite results to the con-
sumner, sometimes in lower prices and
always in stable prices.
The law of supply and demand has
been arbitrarily suspended during the
war-as matter of economic fact it
had stopped working anyway. We are
now distributing our food under what
Theodore w. Whitmarsh. of the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers Association,
has appropriately called the "law of
supply and need" This means that
the speculator is eliminated, that
boarding will not be permitted, either
by producers, distributors or consum-
ers, and that when a shortage in any
food article arises, as was the case re-
Gently with sugar, all the organization
of the food administration as well as
the penalties of the food law will be
used to prevent unwarranted over
charges and profits which would occur
il there were no regulation, and that
stocks will be portioned out so that
supply will cover everyone's need rs
far as possible.
The consumer can cooperate by
watching prices from day to day.
Steps are now being taken to gather
lprice figures in every community and
publish them so that the public may
know what is fair price. In Chi
cago recently the publication of fair
average prices on butter from the
wholesaler to the consumer led to the
elimination of 5-cent per pound over
charge in many groceries: The con-
sumer can also cooperate by purchas-
ing needed supplies from day to day,
or week to week, and resisting every
temptation to hoard-anyone who
goes about from store to store in these
times purchasing food for the pur-
pose Of boarding is doing to the COM
mon food supply exactly what self
ish depositors do who join in run
upon bank.

POSTING COLORADO FARMERS
Government Men to Provide Exhibit
on War Food at Stock Show.

At the Denver Stock Show in Janu-
ary quite a number of government ex-
perts will be present to confer with
the stock men and farmers regarding
food production during 1918 to meet
war conditions. Stockmen. especially.
have been very much at sea since the
war started as to future market con-
dition for livestock.
The war has brought about tremen-
dous evolutions in conditions and the
stockgrowers are interested at this
time in getting information that will
enable them to figure intelligently re-
garding probable profits for their live
stock in the future. In addition to
the Stock Show and the lectures that
will be held constantly during show
week, big livestock conference is be-
ing planned by the Live Stock Bureau
of the Denver Civic and Commercial
association. at which it is expected
there will be representative stockmen
from all states west of the Missouri
river.
1t is probable that Mr.. Hoover him
self will be present, together with a
large number of experts. and an eff
fort will be made to thoroly inform
the stockmen as to the present condi-
tions and situation. Increased produc-
ton Of livestock is imperatively neces-
sary and everything possible will be
done to encourage the stock farmer
and to give confidence that his
livestock production can be marketed
at good profit.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1e.-The West
and Middle West-that same Middle
West that used to be considered the
cradle of pacifism and disloyalty-
overshadowed the East this week in
the rush to form branches Of the
American Alliance for Labor and De-
mocracy, to show the world American
labor is loyal to the nation.
Detroit, Michigan, came thru with q
100 per cent down-with- -disloyalty To-
cal alliance. Cheyenne, Wyoming,
found the membership blank of the
tackled on a roll to contain all the
names. In Lewiston, Idaho, they're
anxious for all the literature, speak
ers and other campaign material that
can be routed out of New York head
quarters. They don't do things by
halves in Lewiston; they never So
journed in the intermediate class.
They jumped into first place without
any stops on the way.
Coming as far East as Pittsburgh
the alliance finds things cracking
along in fine style. Right out of thin
air local branch of the American
Alliance was organized last Friday
evening with 11S charter members.
The secretary APOLOGIZE in sending
in this list, sayi-.g that hundreds Of
additional names were being, gath
cred, and couldn't Organizer Herman
Robinson please send more enrolment
blanks to take the names?
Hudson county, New Jersey, is 60
ing to have the distinction of being
the first spot on the map to form a
county organization. Merely a local
branch in Jersey City, right across
the waters from Manhattan, is too
tame for these Jersey laborites, and
they mean to put things on a big scale
right away.
Enthusiasm on Every Hand.
Hudson county is going to be a
fine organization" said Organizer
Robinson in discussing prospects with
your correspondent. 81 find on the
membership rolls there the names of
some of the most prominent labor Of
ficials in the state of New Jersey,
among them the Officers of the Hud-
son County Central Labor union.
Already they have asked for more

work is being carried or is most en-
couraging. For example, in Salem,
Oregon, the officers of the local alli-
ance were gathering signatures to the
enrolment blanks. and rather than
wait for us to mail them more blanks,
they went to printer and had them
printed.
'Then they sent in five lists filled
with names, instead of just the two
we had sent them"
The prospects of forming a branch
of the alliance in Lincoln, Neb., have
looked good right along, and this week
the labor men of that Western city
made good. They lifted their alliance
out of the "being organized" into the
Organization completed" class in the
file at headquarters.

The local alliance there held splen-

poets soon to have every good son of
Labor under its fold.
But for spectacular work, bearing
all the earmarks of popularity and
suit. Like Lewiston, Idaho, it jumped
right out of the nobody home" class
into the first line trenches.
Early last week the first mention of
a local alliance was broached. Fri
day big conference was held in the
Hotel Anderson, with the result that
118 men signed the petition asking for
local alliance. Their wishes were
accommodated at once, and Sunday
the first nail was driven into the pa
cifist coffin in the Iron City at
rousing mass meeting in the Lyceum
theater.
The hall was packed to its doors,
and the meeting was addressed by
Mrs. Gertrude Breslau Fuller, the only
woman national officer of the Amer
lean Alliance; District Attorney E.
L. Humes; Robert ]. McGrath. presi-
dent of the Iron City Trades Council,
and Philip Murray, president of Dis
trict 5, United Mine Workers of
America.
Robert Maisel, national director of
the Alliance, made a trip to Pittsburgh
to attend the meeting and came away
convinced that there would be a 5000
member organization there by the end
of the next few weeks. The miners,
he said, were determined to show the
nation that they were as loyal to
the government as any other group of
working people, and thru their spokes-
men had given notice that they would
tolerate no more 'pacifist foolish
ness" now that the country was at
war.
Murray Elected President.
Mr.. Murray, who leads the Pitts
burgh miners, was selected president
of the Pittsburgh Alliance, with Rob
ert W. Beattie, secretary of the local
central body, as secretary.
