hV labor situation the industrial unrest
shown IN 1000 strikes IN 1917 and wage
increases Of p per cent, coupled with the
tendency of the radical movement TO take
IN the lahoring class.
The radicals said MIR Mlacllwan,
"arc the Bolshcviki IN Russia, the Socialist
and Labor people IN Germany, Italy and
England and the Peoples Council and
other radical folk IN America. The United
States differs from other countries III that
thc identification of labor with radicallsm
has not proceeded a. far as IN the other
countries.
The basis of labor unrest is disparity
between wages and heavy cost Tho man s
annual income buys less than ever. On the
other hand the man wants more. Mean
while the room at the top grows smaller.
MIR Macllwain forecasts great business
depression when We have peace and

NEXT LIBERTY LOAN
AYBEAR Upper CENT
McAdoo Stated Forthcoming
Treasury Notes Would
BE at That Rate.
BY Associatcd Press 70 Every Evening

Washington, Feb 2l-According to a
statement by Secretary McAdoo. last
night, the next issue Of Treasury Ccrti-
| ficates would bear p per cent interest,
instead OF per cent, as al present.
! Thus was accepted as meaning the next
Liberty Loan would also bear the higher
rate
The Secretary let it be known that the
last per cent issue Of $500, 600 900
certificates had been subscribed for in
full only because banks of the larger cities,
including Philadelphia, had taken more
than their allotment, the institutions
in smaller centres falling behind. About
s., 500. 100000 in certificates remain to
be issued at the higher rate before the
third loan campaign, probably in April.
Secretary McAdoo' 5 announcement fol-
lows
The entire issue Of $500, e00, 600
United States Treasury certificates Of
Indebtedness, dated February :, was
subscribed This was due To the patriotic
action of the larger banks Ill financial

The amount oil subscriptions from The
country at large was distinctly diSap-
pointing. This may be partly because
some banks had only short interval
to accumulate moneys for Investment in
Treasury certificates, and partly because
some subscribed on the basis OF | per
cent a week carried with It the request
to subscribe for an amount equal 10 at
least per cent of their resources for
each bi-weekly issue of certificates No
doubt this error will not be repeated, and
the banks wil subscribe at least per
cent of their resources for the next
issue.
''The extent Of the response to the
telegram sent to the banks and trust
companies Of the United States under
date of February 6, Is shown by the fact

of the mommoth ice gorge in the Allegheny

| practically wiped out the business part
| of the village, causing a loss estimated
at from SIS 900 20 800 600, The ice
| forced by added water pressure from

| carrying houses, stores and barns before
| it, and piling them against the Penn
sylvania Railroad bridges. which were
| washed away, the second tune within q
| week. In addition 10 the bridges over
| 500 feet Of tracks were washed away.

After the gorge broke Yesterday morn
ing ice started flowing down the river at a
rapid rate forming another gorge at

part Of the town would be washed away,
as the water was three feet deep in some
of the streets. Before the ice gorge
broke MANY homes and stores were flooded
but the loss will not be heavy, rs the
water was receding rapidly last night.
