H.C.L.OCCASIONS
SOCIAL UNREST
AMONG BRITISH
Labor Department Report
States Low Wages Are
Also Cause.

Increases in the cost Of living dis
proportionate to the increase OF wages.
inadequate housing. unequal food dis
tribution and restriction OF personal
freedom are responsible for a wide
Britain, according to an official re-
made public yesterday
The report adds that dilution Of
labor and lack OF confidence in the
government growing out OF the sur
render Of trade-union customs and the
fear that promises Of the restoration
of prewar conditions also are having
strong influence. In the hands OF
the United States Department OF
Labor. this document is being given
, careful consideration in reference to
the American labor problem.
The report in part follows:
The full report of the British Com
mission of Inquiry into Industrial I'm
rest has just been reproduced in a
bulletin CNo. 2sD Of the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics Of the U. S. Depart
ment OF Labor.
"The reports for all the districts en-
phasize as the leading cause OF indus
trial unrest the fact that the cost Of
living has increased disproportionately
to the advance in wages and that food
distribution Is unequal. Another
cause regarded as particularly serious
Is the restriction Of personal freedom
under the munitions Of war acts, by
which workmen have been tied up to
particular factories and have been un-
able to obtain wages In proportion to
their skill; in many cases the skilled
mans wages were less than those OF
the unskilled.
| fidence in the government growing
out Of the surrender of trade-union
customs and the fear that promises
conditions will not be kept. are given
special attention. 1t is stated that
the irritation caused by the. withdraw
al Of the trade card scheme under
the military service acts has sub
sided, but there remains much anxiety
regarding the restoration Of prewaT
of protected occupations. All the re-
ports refer to the lack OF coordination
between government departments in
dealing with labor, and considerable
complaint on account OF the delay In
dealing with disputes and the diff
Guilty of securing prompt awards is
reported.
Urges Shorter Work Day.
Besides the more general causes OF
Industrial unrest certain causes, such
as inadequate housing. liquor sestric-
tions and industrial fatigue, are men,
toned as acute in some districts,
Mention is also made of lack OF
/ proper organization among the unions
inconsiderate treatment Of women as
regards wages, delay n granting pen
slons to soldiers and inadequacy OF
compensation under the workmen's
compensation act.
"Of these the first is that there
should be an immediate reduction in
food prices, the increased cost of food
| to be borne to some extent by the
! government. and there should be q
better system of distribution. The
necessity Of reducing hours, readjust.
ing wages to q fairer basis for skilled
as against unskilled workmen, the
fuller use Of trade-union machinery
and renewal by the government OF
the declaration that trade union
rights and privileges which have been
interfered with on account OF the war
shall be restored after the war, are
insisted upon.

ELECTRIC CAR
LINES WARNED
TO SAVE COAL
Administrator Garfield
Urges Companies to Cut
Down Power Stations.

The Fuel Administration sought the
aid Of electric railways yesterday in
its campaign to conserve coal. Three
recommendations were made. They
are:
I. Reduction Of schedules.
2. Less heating OF cars.
g. Pooling Of power stations.
In q letter to State fuel administra-
tors, urging that they obtain co-opera-
ton of electric public utility concerns,
Fuel Administrator Garfield writes:
IAN investigation conyinces us that
electric railways offer a chance for
large coal savings, particularly
through reductions in schedules. We
are not suggesting changes in rail-
way schedules which will seriously in
convenience the public, but It is q we'll
known fact that the pressure of pri-
vate interests has, in many instances,
led electric railways to provide cars
and service which represent a waste
age that should be prevented in time
Of scarcity.
Fuel wasted on Heat.
'In addition. our attention has been
called to the hearing OF cars. We urge
that you ask the proper State authori-
ties to cooperate In the reduction of
unnecessary heating. It has been
stated that the heating Of cars rep
resents nearly 30 per cent Of the cur
rent used by these companies.
Further. we have found that in
many cases the system of power sta
tons could be revised with large saw
ings OF fuel. There are, along the
lines Of railway companies, company
power stations with more or less OBJ
solete or inefficient equipment which
could. we judge, be discontinued or
reserved as relay stations through ar
rangements for the railway companies
to obtain their power from other more
efficient stations of other public utili-

Makes Good On
So. Oak. Farm

lama, (Iowa) News.-W. S. Page,
of ear Miller, South Dakota, who is
in Tama with Mrs. Page as guests in
the home of his brother-in-law, Elmer
Short, is making good on the farm.
Until fourteen years ago Mr.. Page
was a we'll known resident of Tama
and especially prominent in Odd Fell
low work. He was a paper maker.
Failing health forced him to leave
the city, and with Mrs. Page he went
to South Dakota, where he settled on
a ranch. He started with practically
nothing. Nine years ago a prairie
fire burned all his barns, house and
machinery and there was not a cent
of insurance. But he picked up and
started all over. He now has a large
ranch and dairy farm, owns a quarter
section and leases much other land.
Mr.. and Mrs. Page are in Tama for
a visit of several weeks.

Indian
Warrior Dies

~Flandreau, Dec. 30.-Thomas Ora
ham. an old Indian warrior who has
made his home in Flandreau for many
years, has just passed to the happy
hunting grounds. He had worked up
quite a local industry in the manu-
facture of pipestone warclubs and
tomahawks, and these implements of
his manufacture are in the homes of
purchasers In all parts of the United
States. The making of warclubs
was his specially. 1t is claimed that
Graham was implicated in the New

was imprisoned for a year in connec-
ton Herewith, but that point has
never been cleared up. He was SO
years of age at the time of his death.
He is survived by three sons. For
many years he was one of the familiar
characters of the city.

Ancient Verse Found
By EImCreek Trapper

Bailey, Dec. 2S-Editor Press:-I
noted the partial quotation of an old
verse in your paper recently, referring
to the birth of a baby in an editors
family. The original publication was
in a Boston paper more than fifty
years ago. l inclose the full quota
ton:
One night as old st. Peter slept,
He left the gates of Heaven ajar.
When out a little angel crept,
And came down with a falling star
1t CHANGED to fall, ere day was broke
On the couch where slept a blushing
bride,
And in the morning when she woke
She found that angel by her side.
This was too much for a rival editor
perhaps an old bachelor devoid of
the Divine afflatus.-and he replied
in his paper as follows:
st. Peters Reply
l have not slept as you suppose,
Nor left the gates of Heaven ajar;
Nor has a little angel strayed,
And gone down with a falling star.
Go ask that blushing bride and see
II she don't frankly. own and say,
That when she found that angel babe
She found him in the good old way.

was now actually assured, running
from Kimball in Brule county north
to Gam Valley. and from there pos
sibly north to connect with the North
western line at Miller.
Colonel George w. Adams. m OF
the best posted lei on railroading In
the country. has been interested IA
the project, and with Charles Oates
is actively at work promoting the
proposition. The residents Of Gam
Valley and the Grow Creek reservation
together with those whose land will
be benefited in Buffalo county. have
assured the promoters Of the sale q
$125 900 worth of stock there. Kim
ball, on the Milwaukee in Brule
ty, is expected to subscribe $4,000
worth of stock, and this too IL now
practically assured.
1t is also talked that the line can
be run south to connect with the ter
minal of the Milwaukee at Platte.
thus giving a north and south line
through Charles Mix, Brule. Buffalo
and Hand counties to Miller.
The road from Kimball to Cam
Valley will cost about $350,000, ana
this amount Of stock, 1t is figured,
can easily be raised in this locality,
as farmers will Immediately receive
the full benefit from the Increased
price a road will give their land.
The promoters proposition is for
a payment of m per cent of the
stock at the time construction work
starts, and the balance when the road
is actually in operation.

Receipts State Land
Leases Increase

Pierre, s. D.-Commissioner Fred
Hepperlee of the state land depart
ment is sending out the statements of
leases due on January LIST, 1917, from
the different counties, showing the
amount of 341.539.5S, leases in force.
This is an increase of $62,247.31 over
the amoust in force a year ago. This
is a marked increase when 1t is taken
into consideration that the depart
ment made short term leases the past
season In order to bring the land in
some of the counties on the market
the coming spring. Commissioner
Hepperlee has been active in enforce
ment of the trespass laws, and this
fact is probably responsible for the
increase in the amount of land leased.
