Wages VS.. Finance
By Frank P. Walsh

In many cases presented to the
War Labor Board the attorneys and
representatives of the employing cor
porations urge that, regardless of the
essential fairness of any wage in
crease that might be awarded by the
Board, the financial condition Of the
concerns would be impaired thereby
and that the Board should consider
this possible result in fixing rates of
wages for the workers.
Under the principles and policies to
govern relations between workers and
employers in war industries for the
duration of the war, as adopted by
the Government in conformity with
the proclamation of the President Of
date April 8, 1918, the powers and
duties of the Board are clearly de-
fined.
The underlying object of it's crea-
tion is that "the maximum production
Of all war industries should be main
tanned" To this end therefore, of
course, all existing wage standards
must be maintained. Where wages
were fixed by contract between organ
lied groups of employers and en-
ployes, and the same are found by
the board to have been fair at the be-
ginning of the war, it becomes the
duty of the Board to ascertain, by
careful investigation and research,
the increased cost of living, as well
as the advance, if any, which would
ordinarily and naturally come about
in times Of peace, which sums must
be added to the pre-war wage.
Where wages, however arrived at,
are found not to have been fair and
adequate at the time our country
entered the war, proper basic stan
dards are established, to which the
last foregoing elements of increase
are added.
Supplementary to these considera
tions, it may be noted that the Presi-
dents proclamation also imposes the
following definite and specific direc-
tion upon the Board:
"In fixing wages, minimum
rates of pay shall be established
which will insure the subsistence
of the worker and his family in
health and reasonable comfort"
This provision, it has been found in
experience, required a substantial in
crease in the wages of all the COM
mon laborers which have come within
the jurisdiction of the Board, with the
possible exception of building laborers
and few other industries.
Giving effect to the foregoing du-
ties and limitations imposed upon it
by the President, the Board, after
mature deliberation, in large num-
Der of cases unanimously applied the
foregoing rules and principles, and
accordingly held that the financial
condition of the employing corpora
tions was entirely irrelevant under
the principles proclaimed by the Pres
ident, and would not be considered if
proposed increases of pay to workers
were just and proper.
If workman engaged in an essen
tial industry is expected to perform
his part uninterruptedly in necessary
war production, it will not do to say

Eloise Jackson (June Caprice) is a much sought for girl, first, because she is pretty and petite; second, because she is a wealthy heiress and the ward of Judge Stafford George Bunny. The judge believes that Harvey Grey son (Bernard Thornton), a struggling writer, is a, suitor for Eloise's hand chiefly because of the second reason, rather than the first. To test his af- fections he forms little plot to which Eloise consents, for the attentions of other girls have made her jealous of Harvey.
 The judges scheme results in Eloise being declared bankrupt and in Har veys being evicted from his studio apartment for overdue rent. To keer deputy sheriffs" (hired by the girls guardian) from seiZing Eloise's prop erty, Greyson gives them two of his most precious manuscripts as security with the pledge that he will raise funds Meantime, Eloise herself has become chorus girl in a production in re- hearsal, merely as lark.
 She learns the real character of the man backing the show at gala ban quet that evening. Harvey rescues hel from the unwelcome advances of the drunken producer. Eloise faintS anC IIhe carries her home. He finds that tho judge has sold for big sums the stories he handed the deputies and there are rejoicinSs all around.

 DRAWING T0END

What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ" is my text again, said Dr. Torrey, as he addressed about TOO people, nearly all adults, at the First Baptist church last night.
 Everyone must do something with Jesus Christ tonight. The average man don't want to do anything with Him. Pilate tried to get him off his hand. and tried several eXpedients. But he failed.'
 Then Dr. Torrey minutely described it all. You must accept Him or reject Him. Not to accept Him is to reject Him. You must take Jesus into your heart or keep Him out. You must take your stand with Him or you take your stand against Him. You are in one of two classes.
 T could draw a line through this building and place all on one side or on another" said he. You are either with Peter, Paul, and John, or you are with Judas, Pilate, Herod, and all that notorious crew.
 Who is Jesus you are accepting or rejecting? He is King of every man. If you shut Jesus out of your heart you are guilty of treason against your King. No matter about your works You are guilty of high treason if you refuse Christ place in your heart" | The meetings will close Sunday night. Dr. Torrey will preach at 7:3C o'clock this evening. He will speak al 2:30 o'clock this afternoon and also will speak at the Y. NJ c. A. at 12:1 1( o'clock today, to the business men oi Phoenix There will be three meet 1 ings Sunday.

The Columbia Offering

The People Ns. John Doe" asmotion picture play intended as a plea against capltal punishment, was presented last night at the Columbia theater. The photoplay possesses considerable merit Tn us presentation of types of ignorant country folk under stress. The story is of farmland, John Doe, who falls into the hands of detectives seeking some one to convict of the murder of a we'll to-do farmer and his sister. John Doe IS innocent, but circumstances to some extent are against him.
 The detectives, evidently feeling that they must get some action, extracted confessions by third degree" methods rom John Doe and his half-witted Drother-ln-law. Just before the pro- Jected' execution of John Doe. the of 1orts of persons who have interested themselves in the case, believing tbf man snnocent. are successful, the exc cuuon is stayed and the real culprit confesses.

No one caught Rallies yesterday be- tween the hours of 10 o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the afternoon. during which time he worked" the down town streets. The foxy Rallies had several close calls, however, but so far has escaped detection.
 Today he will start at the corner of Adams and Center streets on or near the hour of 10 o'clock in the morning. He will walk down Center street, which side is not announced, for a block or so and will slip into Vic Hanny's store between 10 and 10:30 o'clock. He may leave by the back door but he will next visit the Hub. where he will be sure and be not later than by 10:45 o'clock.
 If no one catches him in either of the clothing stores he will slip through the waiting crowd and make direct for Korrick's where he will be in and out before the clock strikes eleven. Should he escape the eagle eyes of the waiting ones after his Korrick visit, he will step over to Class Brothers and feed. It may take him until F: 30 o'clock to put away his feed and then he will slip out, stroll into the Busy Drug for a moment. This should not consume more than 15 minutes and at 12:45 o'clock he will visit either Donofrio's or Mack Gard : ners and not later than 1:3O o'clock will be at Goldberg's where he expects to become a free lance and after a visit to Doris Heyman's will see how ! sharply all the waiting ones really can follow him for he will have a time speaking to hundreds on Center and Washington.
 It was announced yesterday that Rallies would alight from the car at Center and Washington and one wom- an phoned to say that no one alighted rom the street car at that hour She overlooked the fact that there are all kinds of cars including Fords.

Real Timing i'm
 Pioneers Here
 To See Friends

Captain A. F. Banta arrived in town yesterday morning from Pres colt. Captain Banta is one of the very few of the, pioneers left. There are many who are called pioneers because they have lived in Arizona for something more than one gen. eration. Captain Banta has been resident for nearly a half century and has seen more of the territory and the state at close range than any other man, living or dead. 1t has been said that he has been over every trail. He has had to do not only with the development of the material resources of Arizona but he assisted in making it's laws in the early days.
 For nearly a year he has been a resident of the Pioneers Home which he says, under the able man agement of Eugene J. Trippel, is in better shape than it has been at any time since it's establishment. MT. and Mrs. Trippel make the guests feel that they really are at home. :.
 Captain Banta looks younger and is in far better health than when he was last in Phoenix. He will re- main here and the south for a month.

TO
 TAKE INTEREST
 IN DAIRY WORK

At a meeting. Wednesday night, of the Maricopa Dairymen's association, J. A. Elliott, chairman of state con- servation, spoke most interestingly on the general milk situation in this vii cinity.
 Mir. Elliot stated that Arizona is the only state in the union that is at pres ent suffering a decline in the dairy in- dustry. and pointed out that the situ- ation is rapidly growing worse. In 1916 the increase in dairy cattle was 50 per cent and one year later per cent, this decline being further evidenced by the decreasing value of cows. Slaughter records in 1916 show 104 head and in 1917, 52S head
 The question for the national gov ernment 10 determine" said Elliott. 'is Is the dairy industry of this locality worth saving? Is our cotton crop more essential and shall we import our dairy products?'
 Tt is a sad commentary on the fore sight of residents of this section that our valley acreage is rapidly changing from food 10 other crops. Last year alfalfa acreage was 90000 and pasture 10000. This year it stands 10000 for alfalfa and 50000 for pasture"
 Lack of organization. it was stated has delayed the long suffering dairyman from making himself heard, and they are at this time only asking reasonable retugns.
 Mir. Elliot assured the members of the association that he would willingly urge the government to take early action in order that no more loss of herds shall be sustained.
 A standard price of s3.5O to the pro- ducer for three and half per cent and to remain permanent at least until fall when general conditions may have been altered sufficiently to again change. was the view suggested and generally accepted by the organization

 Exile is the name of little Por- tugese colony around which the story centers, the immediate plot concerning the adventures which befell the young American engineer who made the hitherto desolate location habitable for the white people. The American be- comes the master of the situation, and matters rapidly assume dramatic pro- portions, especially when the wife of the governor (Mme. Petrova) is drawn into the net.
