WAGES, WORK HOURS AND THE TARIFF.


WI ILAINGTON and the district surrounding II has
w thousands and tens Of thousands Of men and
women who Interested vitality In those three things.
That interest has been made all the more acute by the
ending Of the and the advent Of the reconstruction
Those and women know what they have been
getting and what they getting now under conditions
which have been made abnormal by the war What they
want to know IS what the future has In store for them
under peace conditions
Through its president, the Hon Jonathan Bourne. the
Republican Publicity Association has given out state
ment which deals with work hours and the tariff
1t says that the declaration by Samuel Gompers that
organized labor Will resist TO the uttermos any attempt
10 reduce wartime lenghen hours Of labor Is
that win be read with interest by all the people OF
the country as also will any statement he has to make
to the by which the present high and short
hours TO be maintained.
To the extent that maintenance Of high standards Of
wages and Of conditions OF labor are possible Mr.
Gompers will have the cooperation of the Republicans
Of the country The Republican party has always en-
deavored 10 maintain economic policy which makes
possible the payment OF the highest wages and the OBJ
serance Of the shortest hours and we believe the
cords will show that in time Of peace American labor
has been better paid under Republican policies than under
those imposed by the Democratic party. It is perhaps
true that average hours Of labor have been short
est under Democratic administration for in 1898 and
1914 millions Of American working men found their
hours OF labor cut 10 nothing at ALL
Having made his declaration regarding continued
high wages and short hours, Mr.. Gompers should
plain specifically how he expects TO and preserve
market for the product Of high wages and short hours
in competition with the product OF low wages and long
hourse from Europe and ASIA" the Republican Publicity
Association says. Republicans hope TO maintain the
home market for American producers. They hope that
shall be able TO sell surplus in the markets
have gained during the We hope TO accomplish this
through protective tariff which will build up home
production 10 such high quantitaye basis that unit
cost Of production will be low, thus enabling TO sell
the surplus in competition with all the rest Of the world
That is specific statement Of the methods by which
Republicans would maintain high and short hours
for American labor Now will Mr. Gompers state spec-
ncay his plan for enabling American labor market It's
products in competition with the rest Of the world for
must have a market for products have
satisfactory standard OF and conditions Of
labor"
No doubt there are thousands Of Delaware wage
earners who would like to have from Mr. Gompers at
this time satisfying explanation.
He cannot maintain wartime wages and wartime
work hours under the present Democratic tariff The
real solvent for the perplexing problem is return TO
the protective tariff at the earliest possible

With certain limitations doubtless such policy is a

Il now is suspected that the motive behind the Nc

CAMP DIX, Wrlghtstown. N. j., Nov.
22.-Dechring that the greatest Inherit
ance the United States would gain from
the world war would be the reflection
upon its future government Of the sim
pie virtues that the men of its armies
have absorbed in the training camps
and at the front. Secretary of War
Bakei, At the dedicatOry address at the
opening OF the Si0O,OO0 Salvation Army
Military Hotel yesterday, called upon
every man leaving the army to fight to
retain for himself and his country these
high standards. Lauding the work OF
the seven great welfare Organizat Ons,
as he had seen IL at home and in
France. he summed up their co-opera-
tlon with the government as producing
the great results in Europe.
"Of the 100000 American soldiers
abroad my strongest impression Is that
they not only fight like heroes, but live
like gentlemen the secretary said. in
what actually became farewell address
to the army. I'm proud Of what they've
done in battle. I've seen them go sing
ing alCng the roads right up 20 the
front and then go over at the enemy
schoolbOys in football game. But I'm
not one whit less proud OF the scenes
have witnessed all over France Of sol
dlers In American uniforms, helping the
aged and inflrm women Of France gar
ner their crops, or do the common
chores, or striving TO do something to
bring smiles TO the faces Of fatherless
war orphans
General Peyton c. March, chief OF
the General staff, got a tremendous ova-
tiOn from the 1000 soldiers who packed
the auditorium OF the new building
when he told them that they soon were
to go home. He also confirmed earlier
rumors OF the future OF Camp Dix by
asserting that the retention of certain
camps as permanent military posts will
be necessary and that the War Depart
'ment Is seriously considering Camp Dix
as one OF those to be selected.
General March said he desired 10 add
his personal word Of praise for what he
had seen Of the Salvation Army work
at the front ,"We're going TO send
you back to civil life Just as soon as
we can" he told the soldiers. "All OF
you have come here for the purpose Of
serving France. The fortunes Of war
have kept you here. You deserve the
thanks of your country in common with
your fellows in Europe"
In addition TO Secretary Baker and
General March, the military establish
ment was represented at the dedication
by Major General Hugh l.. Scott, camp
commander; Brlgadier General w. s
Scott, Of the i53d Depot Brigade, and
heads Of other camp military organiza-
tiOns.

The conspicuous figures in the British admraltys
statement these:
Loss of ship tonnage thru U-boat destruction and

The net average monthly loss 335022 tons.
Great Britain and America have just taken
