LIBERTY HALL is
ALMOST COMPLETED

Work on Liberty Hall went along
at rapid clip last Sunday, June 2,
and the building was at least $50
done when the crews knocked off
Sunday night. Next Sunday the
painters will take hold and will
complete the work.
The amount of work done by the
men Sunday was enormous and will
stand as record anywhere. Some
other cities have completed build
ing in day but none have attempt
ed building of this size or of such
permanent character. All mater
ial and labor was donated. The
building could not have been built
in the ordinary way for less than
$4,000.
Arrangements should be made to
secure the building for the city at
the end of the war as a permanent
monument to the patriotic and I'M
tied sentiment of the city of Aber-
deen.-Southwest Washington Labor
Press.

THE LAST WARNING
TO HOARDERS OF FLOUR

United States District Attorney
Garrecht has libeled six sacks of
flour seized at the residence of the
Rev. l.. Gaiser, district superintend-
ent of the Pacific German Methodist
conference. The seizure resulted
from an investigation made by b.
j. Wells, United States secret serv-
ice agent for this district.
This is the. first libel in Eastern
Washington filed in the United
States court. The Department of
Justice found that the flour, 10 bar
rels in all, was brought from the
Ritzville flour mills November 30
last year and shipped here by
freight. Charles Hebberd, food
administrator for Washington, has
summoned the manager of the mill
to appear before him to show cause
why the mills license should not be
revoked for violating the rules in
selling more than 80 days supply
of flour.
The flour seized at the Gaiser
residence was in the attic, and was
all in gunny sacks except two
sacks. The penalty prescribed for
boarding flour is not to exceed a
fine of $1,000 or two years in prison,
or both.
Mr.. Hebberd issued the following
statement after he had been advised
by Mr.. Wells that libel action had
been filed in the federal court:
"We have had great many cases
of alleged boarding of foodstuffs
which have been investigated and in
number of them where the pos
session of flour seemed to be due
to misunderstanding of the rules
and the law, we have accepted the
voluntary return of the flour and
have not asked for proceedings
either under the libeling or criminal
sections of the food control law.
THE food administration feels
that the time for liniency has pass
ed and that, there is no reason to
accept excuses of any kind except
where there is voluntary return of
the flour. All such cases of hoard
ing are now turned over to the
secret service agent or to the United
States district attorney for prose
cution."

TACOMA LABOR TAKES
POLITICAL ACTION

The Tacoma Labor Advocate says:
What started out as a local DO
litical movement of the workers is
developing into movement extend
throughout Pierce county.
DR.. Pratt, master of the Pomona
Grange appears to be in perfect
harmony with our efforts, and if the
members of the Grange are guided
by his advice, there will be perfect
cooperation with the local confer
ence.
Mr.. Chamberlain, master of the
State Grange, assured the labor COM
mittee which called on him that the
Oranges of this section and the
state would cooperate with organ
lied labor.
The three great factors in this
county to develope a working plat
form are the organized workers of
the city, the mine workers, and the
organized farmers. These three
forces, working together, will con-
troll the delegation in the next legis-
lature.
The secretary was instructed to
send out stirring appeal to organ
lied labor for financial support.

TOLEDO BARRIERS
MAKE BIG RAISE

After July l the BARRIERS of To-
ledo will receive flat salary of $25
per week of Sc hours, with time and
half for overtime where they are
required to work during meal hours,
or at night when customers are in
the shop at closing time.
At the same time the price of
shaves will be raised to 20 cents
and a haircut to SO cents.
Toledo is the second city in the
United States where the BARRIERS are
to receive a. straight salary, Bill
ings, Mont, being the other.
In discussing the radical move
made by the BARRIERS, Secretary Run
yam said:
"The change was decided upon
for many reasons, and met with the
unanimous approval of 12O men,
bers of Local No. 5. In the first
place, it will take the barbering bus
mess out of the temptation to work
a customer, as prevailed under the
old system.
"Now that the men will have a
straight salary, the same as clerk
in a store, they will not be obliged
to stoop to petty graft in order to
make living"
The boss BARRIERS of the city
seem inclined to favor the new wage
proposition. Some say they will
not be able to employ as many men
as under the old system, but the
men so let out will likely start shops
of their own.
Toledo local of the BARRIERS union
is the oldest local in the United
States. 1t came into existence with
unions in four other cities, and has
maintained it's continuous existence
ever since, while the other four, for
a time, dropped out.-Toledo Union

SHIPYARD WORKERS
CAN NOT BE PLACED

The Galesburg (Ills.) Labor News
says:
Newspaper editors who have been
writing about shortage of ship
yard workers are asked by Editor
Palmer of the Galesburg Labor
News how the 200 men of this
county, who have volunteered for
this work, can be assigned before
shipyards are ready.
The editor man assisted in the
volunteer campaign, and then the
workers began calling on him to
place them. This caused the editor
to book up" on the situation and
after corresponding with govern
ment and state authorities he
writes:
"The facts are that there is no
shortage of shipyard workers and
the noise being made by the big
daily papers is just another instance
of their disregard for the truth"
Editor Palmer prints letter from
Charles a. Monroe, state director
of the Illinois Council of Defense,
who says:
"The placements of shipyard labor
are being made through the United
States employment service, which
maintains a large office in Chicago.
Practically no placements have been
made in the shipyards from this
district. Shipyard labor has been
found abundant in all sections of
the country except on the Pacific
Coast and there have been a num-
Der of men sent from here to the
Pacific Coast.
1--WE very much deplore the fact
that we have been unable to place
the 10000 men who so periodically
volunteered and enrolled in the ship
building campaign"

Majority Opinion
The five justices who signed the
majority opinion were Chief Justice
White, and Justices Day, Mercy
nolds, Vandeventer and Pitney.
In deciding the case, Justice Day,
who rendered the opinion, said:
"Over interstate transportation or
its incidents, the regulatory power
of congress is ample, but the pro-
duction of articles intended for in
terstate commerce is matter of
local regulation.
eff it were otherwise, all manu-
facture intended for interstate ship
ment would be brought under fed
eral control to the practical exclu-
sion of the authority of the states
result certainly not contemplated
by the trainers of the constitution
when they vested in congress the
authority to regulate commerce
among the states.
"That there should be limitations
upon the right to employ children
in mines and factories in the inter-
est of their own and the public well
fare, all will admit"

LAND MONOPOLY is
LABOR'S ENEMY

The Peoples News Service devoted
to the dissemination of single tax
propaganda says the official spokes
men for the American Federation
of Labor struck blow at land mon
opoly and rent profiteering by de-
handing that the Federal Govern
ment revise its revenue program to
reach landlords who are profiting
enormously by the rapid increase
in the values of unused land
By heavily taxing such land, the
Government would force the owners
to put it on the market at a reas-
enable price, thus increasing the
supply and lowering rents. The
proposal was laid before the "Win
the War for Permanent Peace" con-
ference at Philadelphia by labor del
egates including Arthur E. Holder,
Hugh Frayne, John A. Vol, Grant
Hamilton, and Joseph Richie. A
formal statement of labor's policies
which they laid before the confer
ence said in part:
Labor has Loyalty and enthusiast
tically supported and will continue
to support the liberty loans. Labor
however, urges that the possibility
of greatly increased liberty taxa
ton be no longer neglected" After
demanding substantial increases in
the taxation of war profits, large
incomes and inheritances, the state
ment continues: "A great part of
American wealth is not reached at
all by this tax; unimproved real
estate even when rapidly rising in
value and other similar property
producing no technical income, a
total of many billions"
The same statement had this to
say about the nationwide and thus
far unchecked wave of rent profit
eering:
UNLESS America takes immediate
and effective steps by national or
concerted state action to check the
menacing increase of rents, especi-
ally in the war industry centres,
all the above economic measures
will be in large part nullified. land
lords will absorb what war profit
GERS have been forced to surrender,
labor's efficiency will be reduced,
disloyalty will seize the opportunity
and spread unrest and resentment
among our people"
In other words, American labor
realizes the close relation between
land monopoly and the ills that af-
flict the wage Garner, and is setting
about to cope with this greatest of
evils. Labor's leaders are on record
in favor of defeating the monopol-
ist and the rent profiteer by using
the taxing power to force idle land
into use, so that land will compete
for men and not men for land.
There is little use in fighting for
increased wages, absolutely neces-
sary to decent living conditions, if
the increase is to be abolished by the
ground hogs"

Dissenting Opinion


In the dissenting opinion, in which
Justices McKenna, Brandeis and
Clark concurred, Justice Holmes de-
clared enactment of the law came
clearly within the powers of con-
gress.
"The act does not NEEDLE with
anything belonging to the states"
said Justice Holmes. "They may
regulate their internal affairs and
their domestic commerce as they like
But when they seek to send their
products across the state line they
are no longer within their rights.
Ii there were no constitution and no
congress their power to cross the
line would depend upon their neigh
bors. Under the constitution such
commerce belongs not to the states,
but to congress to regulate. 1t may
carry out it's views of public policy
whatever indirect effect they may
have upon the activities of the state.
"The public policy of the United
States is shaped with view to the
benefit of the nation as a whole.
The national welfare, as understood
by congress, may require differ
ent attitude within it's sphere from
that of some self-seeking state. 1t
seems to me entirely constitutional
for congress to enforce it's under
standing by all the means at its COM
mand."

MEM PAST THIRTY ARE URGED TO MARRY
AND THUS HELP PERPETUATE THE RACE
Religious Authorities Say 1t Is Duty Of All Not Serving the Col
to Desert Ranks of the Benedicts.

New York, April 9.-That the eler-
Igy of the United States should follow
the principle Of those adopted by
Great Britain shortly after the war
started and use their influence to in
duce the men not already enlisted to
marry and thus help perpetuate the
race, was the opinion expressed by
several high authorities who gat; cred
at the Waldorf here tonight
| While it was shown to be an ar
thropological fact that a race pro
duced by the more mature type of
men would undoubtedly be creati re
of more brainy, intellectual species,
| it was pointed out that sturdier, har-
der and more physically-perfect type
is usually produced by a younger
generation; and it was urged that
care be taken to prevent, as far as
possible, the regeneration of an UNI
desirable, puny element, and to pre-
serve, if possible, the standards of
"the survival of the fittest" theorem.
Several speakers contended that
there was no sound reason whatso-
ever to presuppose that children born
of men up to the age of forty years
would be productive of race of ply
steal weaklings, and others maintain
ed that the race would be materially
benefited by the induction Of more
mentally-matured parenthood,
Anaemics and weaklings are not
wanted by Uncle Sam, as experience
has amply demonstrated that men
without sufficient red blood in their
systems fail to develop the proper de-
gree of mental and physical power to
prove valient leaders.
Rundown, thin, emaciated crea-
lures are no longer wanted-either in
the army or civil life. Men of strong
vitality and fully-equipped physical
power and Stamina are now required
whether in the battle of business life
or the more hazardous life of leading

trenches.
The human system requires GER

! The medical authorities have long
been aware of this fact, but lacked
the chemical knowledge of how to

BILE, unassimilable tincture of .inor-
ganic iron in the form of "blaud'
