THE OLD ARMORY AGAIN.

II the city still owned the old
armory' what good uses it could be
put to now. We hear such express
sions on every street corner. The
Labor World has been INDICATED
hundred times since we began the
campaign against the sale of the
property. AS every fair-minded and
unprecedented person will admit, the
city was practically euchred in the
deal. To get the old armory away
from the city the referendum was
sacrificed, the courts STRAINED a
gnat," the city attorney played
STRANGELY with his client, newspaper
editors put friendship for a private
society above loyalty to the people,
the majority members of the council
yielded to business" pressure and
there was brought into play every
subterfuge known to studied cum
ming.
The private society which now
owns the old armory is getting SUI
ficient rent money from the base
ment alone to pay more than the in
terest on its investment. The struc-
ture has not been rebuilt. The dire
disasters to the building predicted
by the advocates Of the sale have not
taken place. The building inspector
has not ordered the armory torn
town. 1t is a piece Of rich velvet to

Organized Labor's Program.
BY REV. CHARLES sTELz1E.

~~~~0AS~~1-"S
Like most other reform movements,
organised labor seeks to abolish pow
erty. But it does not spend it's time
dreaming about millennium in which
all wrongs shall be righted, and all
Ills cured. ITS leaders are opportun-
lists. They are alert to the measure
which promises immediate though
only partial relief.
They are convinced that the work.
ingman is not receiving his just share
of the common product. They are
not prepared to state just what that
share shall be, but they insist that
we have not yet reached the point in
our industrial life when the working
man should be satisfied with his
wages.
1t is not fair to ask labor to specify
any given amount with which it
promises to be satisfied for all time.
Money has a different value in dif-
ferent periods OF time. Also, the de-
velopment of our industrial life may
be such as to completely alter the
relative value of the services of both
employer and employe. The introduce
ton OF labor-saving machinery, for
example, may revolutionize our chief
Industries.
The workingman feels that he is en-
titled to a fair share in the products
OF all improvements. He is not ready
to commit himself to any contract
which will prevent his securing future,
and what will then be conceded, per-
fectly legitimate advances in his
wages. The increase in wages and the
shortening of hours of labor-the two
principal points of contention between
capital and labor-must be worked
out upon an evolutionary basis, such
changes being made from time to
time as conditions warrant

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS.

the Shriners, and the people of Du-
luth are the losers.
Now comes the city council with a
petition to the custodian of the new
armory asking for space in the new
building to store potatoes. The old
armory would have been ideal for
this purpose. The city becomes a
supplicant to fulfill a duty to her
people where she might otherwise be
Independent, and all because three
short-sighted commissioners bartered
away for song a choice bit of valu-
able city property.

At a conference of the arbitration
board in the settlement of a street
car strike in Seattle, Wash, it was
decided that the average family of
five required an annual income of
$1,519 to meet the ordinary living
expenses. Maybe this fact has some
thing to do with the many strikes in
various parts of the country.

INCREASE IN MILK PRICES UN-
WARRANTED.

Last Monday morning the retail
price of milk was raised to cents
a pint and IA cents quart, and an
other essential necessity was thereby
added to the long list Of high prices
demanded Of the housewife.
Despite the fact that the cost of
production has undoubtedly in
creased somewhat, and that the cost
Of distribution is higher because Of
higher wages for labor, it looks as
though wartime exigencies have
again been taken advantage of to
mulct the public.
Predictions have been made that
still higher prices will be reached,
and the question naturally arises,
what will be the limit?
When the prices exacted for milk
make that liquid a luxury, thou
sands of homes of working people
are vitality affected, for it must be
remembered that milk is one thing
without which babies can not be
raised. When profiteering becomes
so heartless that the welfare and
health of babies conseQuently that
of the future generations-is utterly
disregarded, it is time that action be
demanded to curb that menace.
The State Public Safety Commits
sion has conducted an investigation
showing that nearly half of the alb
normal milk prices is swallowed up
by the distributing agencies, and it
Is safe to state that the percentage
of profit exacted by the latter is
more than should be permitted by
the authorities. II the growing I'M
rest among the people is to be
abated, and unity and harmony main
tanned. the Safety Commission, or
other proper authorities, should take
immediate steps to place milk prices
on fair basis, which would still al
low reasonable profit to the pro-
ducers and distributors.
Commenting on the milk prob
lem, the St. Paul Dispatch says:
DR.. E. Dana Durand of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota department of econ
omics, who has been making an in
vestigation in costs for the safety COM
mission, reports that previous to the
advance of milk to 10 cents a quart
the dealers sometimes worked on 4
cent margin; At present that margin
is trifle less than 5 cents. At 10
cents for milk costing 1925 per hun.
dredweight. wholesale, the margin will
exceed cents per quart. Granting
that costs in distribution are higher
1t does not seem fair that nearly half
the price of milk should be swallowed
There is something uneconomic and
wrong in this division of costs. Wheth-
er that wrong consists in an over
charge or whether it is due merely to
the Wasteful and overlapping. system
be definitely determined by the powers
that be and to which due remedy
should be applied. Twenty cent milk
may. be the product of a panicky mag
nation But there is some justifica-
sion LOT the panic of the imagination
duction and distribution is conducted
upon uneconomic lines and without
responsibility to the public.
If the high prices are to be main
tanned, the city authorities should
provide some means for handling
milk at depot where it could be
procured for nursing purposes by
mothers unable to meet the inflated
prices.

Where to Locate Rifle Range Now Puzzling
 Major General Treat

Montgomery, sept6mber 1s-(spe- cial.) .)-Maj. Gen. c. c. Treat of the Ohio division is about ready to sing My Kingdom for Rifle Range" Sew eral sites have been inspected. but some drawback has been found with each, and officers of the headquarters department are still making a search. At first it was thought the old range of the Alabama National Guard could be used, but 200 targets were necessary and the site was not large enough.
 A patriotic landowner in Elmore county offered territory sufficient for a combination range, accommodating artillery machine guns and rifles, but river separates the property from Camp Sheridan and sufficient trans portation facilities across the water have not been provided. It will be nec- essary to build bridge or use ferry. The former would be too expen- sive and the latter too slow
 For the practice of the artillery the range must be $500 yards of open coun- try. The small arms range must be 1000 yards by 2400 feet.
 General Treat has Issued an order recurring the playing of the Star Spangled Banner" with the bands standing. at reveil1e and retreat, Sep tember 14, the birthday of the national anthem. School children throughout the United States are being organized for a proper observance of the day.
 G M. Trautman of Columbus. O., has reached Camp Sheridan and will take charge of all athletic activities for the
