Much complaint is heard from the
workingmen of the street car service
in Hamilton. Especially from those
who are employed in Lindenwald do
we hear these complaints. They say
that many mornings it is almost inn
possible to get to work on time unless
they start an hour earlier than is
usually necessary. It was thought
that when the company adopted the
skip-stop plan that there would be
some improvement of service but if
anything it is worse. If it is within
your power Mayor Smith, to force the
company to improve and better the
service we are sure you will gain the
everlasting gratitude of the riding
public if you do so.

REGULATING THE

Speaking to the graduating class OF
the Y. M. c. A. Law School of Cincin-
natl, Mr.. Waltermire said:
Now, unfortunately, there is feel
ing of hostility in almost every COM
munity between the public and the
utility 1t ought not to be so. There
ought to be the utmost harmony be-
tween the two. Somehow the public
have got it into their heads that every
utility is attempting to extort some
thing from them. Now it ought not to
be SO, and / believe that the public

the degree of solidarity, says Samuel
Gonpers.
It is no exaggeration to say there
never has been in all labor history
such rapid extension of the princi-
pies and practices of industrial dem
ocracy as since the United States was
forced to enter the world conflict.

To the woman of the trade unionist
household the union label affords a

Labor conscription may prove a
boomerang to those who are advocat-
ing it, for as the United Mine Work
ers' Journal says: Labor will never
submit to forced service when any
individual stands to profit therefrom.
Any industry that requires conscripted
labor must also be conscripted into
the governments service.

Washington Nov. 23.-Unitil every German warship covered by the armistice actually is in the hands of the allies, Secretary Daniels said to- day the navy department will continue to operate under war regulations. He has cabled Admiral Benson and Vice. Admiral Sims. however directing that they advise him officially the moment that the naval terms of the armlstice have been accomplished.
 When this message is received, Mir Daniels said he would issue an order removing many, if not all of the re- strictions which have been placed on the navy personnel.
 With two flotillas of submarines. now informed in British ports, naval authorities here estimate that nearly half the German undersea fleet has been turned over. Later information leads to the opinion that the Ger man government will not be able to deliver more than 100 of these boats.

FOOD PROFITEERING.

The dispatches state this morning that every food dealer in Arkansas City, Ark, have been penalized for food profiteering, except a Chinese restaurant man. The penalty pres cribed is that their places of business remain closed for a period of two days.
 The news that the food administra- tor is at last giving some attention to the common people is gratifying news. The consumer has been prompt to obey every edict that has been pro- mulgated for the successful prosecu- tion of the war, never grumbling, but taking things as they have been told, while the profiteer has reaped har- vest.
 The consumer was told to eat corn meal and other substitutes for flour and straightway the profiteer kyted the prices of substitutes to level of whole wheat flour. Corn meal was sold at six to seven dollars per hun dred, while corn was selling on the market at the price three to three dol lars and fifty cents per hundred. One hundred pounds of corn produces ap- proximately one hundred pounds of meal. Oneh updred per cent repres- ! ents the profiteers share, though the regulations prescribed minimum profit of 20 per cent The ration of sugar was cut to two pounds per month, and the people drank their cof- fee bitter, and did not complain. even when the price of their meal tickets were boosted.
 But these are only few of the many instances of compliance with war measure by the people, which were done uncomplainingly, All the time prices of food has been going higher and higher, with no better service. Now that the food adminis- trator is turning his attention to the consumer, to offer him some relief from the fellow who intends to "get his while the getting is good," will be hailed with joy by the people. May the good work be extended to all parts ol the state, and not stop at Arkansas City.
