Food Administration Conducts
Active Campaign to Stop
High Prices Of Dealers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-In 10
months the food administration i'm
posed SIS penalties on wholesale and
retail dealers, commission men, can
ners, cold storage companies and
other business institutions. About $50
companies and individuals have been
ordered to quit business either perma-
nently or for stated periods. The
others have been fined or otherwise
penalized.
Shortage of shipping is one of the
great causes of the high cost of liv-
ing and that difficulty can only be
overcome by building ships, it is
stated.
The price of bananas has increased
because of ship shortage. Lack of
transportation makes it impossible to
move huge sugar crops in Cuba, Porto
Rico and Hawaii and freight rates on
tea, rice and other commodities from
the far east have scared to high lev
els. Freight rates on tea, for in
stance, have jumped from 1 cent to
S cents pound.
''These are part of the inevitable
hardships of war;" it is stated. 1.-The
gradual defeat of the submarine and
the gradual suppression of profiteer-
ing are working together to reduce
food prices. Both take time, but in
both success seems assured

Mooney SCORES
HUN PROP ACANDA
Says He Ahh0rS Use Of ConviC-
tion for Pfo-GerTndn
Agitation.

SANFRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. TO-
From his cell in San Quentin prison,
Thomas j. Mooney, convicted of COM
plicity in the Preparedness day bomb
explosion, has sent a telegram to WAL
ter S. Rogers of the committee on
public information in New York city,
repudiating propaganda being made
in Europe in his interest by the Huns.
MONEYS telegram was in response
to telegram from Rogers in which
he had incorporated telegram re-
ceived by him from Louis Kopelin OF
the American mission to the allied
countries, then in Rome.
This telegram, which was addressed
to Ed Gammons, publicity director Of
the international Defense Workers
league in the city, reads as follows:
"Our mission finds that pro-Ger-
against America and particularly
President Wilson. Will you kindly
wire to Walter S. Rogers, 20 Broad
street, New York, stating that Presi-
dent Wilson and the federal govern
ment have championed MONEYS
case, and that while Mooney appreci-
ates genuine sympathy he does not
want his case made into German prop
uganda anywhere. Mooney has conf
dence in the justice of the American
people and the President. Such tel
egram will help our government and
will help Mooney. (Signed)
'LOUIS KOPELIN.""
This telegram was taken to Mooney
at San Quentin prison by Gammons
and Attorneys Maxwell McNutt and
Edwin V. Mckenzie, and Mooney was
permitted by Warden Johnston to
dictate the following telegram, when
was sent to Rogers:
"San uentin Prison, Ca,
"Walter S. Rogers 20 BROAD Street,
New York, n. Y:
"President Wilson has done and is
doing all in his power on my behalf
to the end that receive fair trial.
I have full confidence that the efforts
he has made, together with those OF
organized labor, will secure ultimate
justice for me. While I am appreci-
alive of all genuine sympathy, 1 alb
hor the idea that German propaganda
should be made of my case or of my
situation, and repeat that my conf
dence in the American governme3~
and people is not shaken.
tom MOONEY"
A telegram was also sent to Rog-
ers by officers of the International
Defense Workers league, which says
in part:
Mooney is an American citizen,
born in America, and is being de-
Tended by the working people OF
America, who are in this war to
defeat German autocracy and mill
tarism.''
The mission Of which Kopelin is a
member is composed of himself, A.
M Simons of Milwaukee, Alexander
Howatt of the United Mine Workers,
John Spargo and Charles Edward
Russell. 1t was sponsored by the So
cial Democratic league.

GREAT DAYS ARE HERE.

Bulgaria quits the war Just as we
swing into our Fourth Liberty loan
campaign. Bulgaria has had enough.
Turkey is on the ragged edge and
perhaps will have enough by the time
we are half through our loan CAM
paign.
Austria is between the devil and
the deep blue sea and the German
army is making excellent progress
toward Berlin.
The American army and the armies
of our allies are closing in on the
beast from all sides.L
These are thrilling times, glorious
times-great days for democracy.
But don't use all your energy
shouting about it. Use your energy
working at producing the things our
army needs, and use it buying bonds
of the Fourth Liberty loan and War
Savings stamps.
These great and glorious times will
continue only as the people who be-
lleve in what's doing keep their
energy back Of the machine that's
doing the work!

If man can do two days work
in one, without Ietriment to his

as much to work hard as it would
hurt you to be in France and have
bullet shot through you.
There is work for everybody, there
are two jobs waiting for every man.
The old rule against ''rushing,'
which was intended to protect the
worker from exploitation, intended
wisely to keep the employer from
driving one man to do the work Of
two---that rule has no place in war
time.
The man With his bayonet fixed
who jumps out of the trench and
rushes against death when ordered
is not watching the clock or wonder

Every man working here in the

The man who cleans the street, if

Nelson VOTES
FOR BIC PROFITS
Votes Three Times Against P|aC-
ing Maximum on Profits Dur
ing Government Operation.

WASHINGTON Oct. l0-How much
profit should the railroads make dur
ing the war? This question con-
fronted congress when the bill for
government operation of railroads was
under consideration Every Ameri-
can must help to bear the burden of
the war which might mean that the
railroads should bear their share
along with the rest The railroads
and their congressman think other
wise. Here is what happened in the
senate:
Senator Cummins of Iowa offered
an amendment to the railroad bill
which provided that the net profits to
rail stockholders during government
operation after the payment of all ex-
penses fevery character that could
be assessed against them, including
interest and taxes, should not exceed
per cent of the par value of the
stocks outstanding. Since Liberty
bonds were paying4 and AZ per cent,
per cent seemed to many senators a
rair and liberal allowance for the rail-
roads. Not SO with Senator Nelson
of Minnesota. He voted against the
amendment. Senator Cummins then
proposed 6 per cent and Senator Nell
son voted against that. Senator Cum
minis raised his proposal to per cent
and yet Senator Nelson was not sat-
isfied; he voted against that also.
Millions of people are sacrificing
in order to buy Liberty bonds, but the
railroads must not be called on to
sacrifice. Working girls are paying
war prices for the necessities of life
and doing it cheerfully for the sake
of helping win the war, but the rail-
roads must have a fat profit just the
same. Millions of men have given up
the comforts of home and stand ready
to give up life itself, but the railroads
must not be called upon to give up
dividends. Millions Of men have been
called by the draft, but railroad in
comes must not be touched. That is
CONSUMPTION Of property. Is wealth
more precious than liberty, or is prop
erty more sacred than human life?
During the whole time that the rail-
road bill was under consideration in
the senate the senior senator from
Minnesota worked and voted in favor
of the railroad as opposed to public
interest.
And the end is not yet . AS soon as
the war is over the railroad question
will be up again. : If Senator Nelson
is reelected will he represent the in
terests of the public or the special
privileged railroad magnates?

whom his words come. The Presi-
dent said he did not go to New York
to promote the loan, but nothing
could have been said to more ef-
fectively promote it.
Working people everywhere, In
every democratic land, read with re-
joicing his reaftirmation of the char
acter Of the war when he says, ''Na-
tional purposes have fallen more and
more into the background and the
common purpose of enlightened man
kind has taken their place. The
counse!s OF plain men have become
on all hands more simple and
Straightforward and more unified
than the counsels of sophisticated
men of affairs, who still retain the
suppression that they are playing
game Of power and playing for high
stakes. That is why I have said that
this is a peoples war, not a states
mems"
The working people of America
have declared again and again that
this is a peoples war and they will
, rejoice sincerely and will find fresh
inspiration in this renewed declara-
ton by the President.
The bounds to which the working
people will go in service and sacrifice
to bring victory to the great cause
! OF humanity so precisely defined by
our President are without limit.
Moreover. it grows clearer day by
; day-clearer with each such declara-
! ton as this-that the feeble oppo-
sition to democracy's aims proclaimed
; by those who, while processing faith
in democracy, have sought to under
mine democracy's strength by con-
tinuously misrepresenting the pur-
poses OF our democracy, must grow
still more feeble and become finally
impotent. Under such a banner as
ours, inscribed with such principles,
no real democrat and no true follower
Of labOr's cause can remain inactive
or continue in a position of opposi-
ton. Americas position today,
Americas great cause, commands
the unlimited support of every
honest believer in freedom and liber-
ty and democracy.
And all such must call, with Pres
ident Wilson, for "the final triumph
of justice and fair dealing'
We are coming into a finer con-
ception of human freedom, we are
coming to a broader and fuller I'M
derstanding Of the opportunities of
democracy.
And, finally, we can realize to the
full the possibilities Of the future
only when the world, by conduct in
deeds, and not alone by the protesta-
tons Of statesmen, accepts the stand
ards of democracy and lives from day
to day according to them. To that
end there can be no compromise with
autocracy, no bandying Of words with
autocrats, no negotiated peace
nothing but complete triumph for
democratic principles written into the
worlds history by the deeds of all
the worlds peoples in common con.
