Tlistnlenfs, which some committee
members said should be discontinued
for the navy and marine corps as
we'll as the army, il the new bill Isl
passed, Mr. Baker said the navy OPP
posed prohibiting volunteer enlist
ment and he had withheld an exc
preston Of opinion. He pointed out
however, that the bill would placG
every man between is and IS
under control of the war department
and that If would be possible for him
and Secretary Daniels to work out in
harmony, a. program to supply men
for the navy branch and also the
merchant ship service.
Would Draft Woraens
Representative Caldwell OF New
York suggested the army provide for
enlistment of women to do non com.
blatant work as is done by the navy
and Mr.. Baker said so far the
army uses for such service men
drafted and not qualified for military
duty.
Regarding supplanting young off
sers in non combatant duty by older
men, Secretary Baker said all young
officers capable Of military duty are
being relieved as far as possible, HIS
added that youths in colleges who
are drafted, il retained there for
training, win be put into uniform.
Turning to the Thomas work OF
fight amendment, added to the bill
by the senate, the secretary said he
could see no objection to it, in view
of the fact, that the regulations OF
the President are to be relied on to
carry it into effect. Regarding Its
provisions for revoking deferred
classification for men who refuse TO
work, he added:
That seems to me to be entirely
proper"
IN case Of a strike, he said, the
President could determine whether
suspension Of work was 'in good
faith" and could defer suspending
exemption of workmen.
Then you would be willing to use
the draft regulations in industrial
disputes? Mr.. Baker was asked.
Yes, to a, limited extent the Sec
rotary replied.
Chairman Dent emphasized that tha
Thomas amendment was not part
of the bill.

though the work or fight amendment

ment he thought it might be well for

Hickey Maybe
NezO President

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 19.-Branch
Hickey, president of the Cardinals,
may be the next president Of the Ma
tional league. There is. said to be a
we'll defined movement on foot to
place him at the heads of the organ
iZation when the annual meeting is
held in New York in December.
Hickey is considered one of the
brainiest men connected with base
ball. In addition to his baseball
knowledge, Hickey is a. lawyer OF no
little merit.
Branch Hickey broke in as catch
er with Clark Grif1th's New York
American league club. He then be-
came coach Of the University Of
Michigan varsity teams and from
that became q leader Of the Brown
les. When the Cardinals were
reorganized Hickey was made, preBi-
dent Of the club and has been highly
successful.
The only hitch In front Of Hickey
is his connection with the Cardinals,
If he can get away from the local
club he is likely to be named to Euc-
coed John K. Tener.

and that the bill should provide that
those married after the new bill was
drawn should not be exempt. Mr..
Baker said such a rigid provision of
the law was unnecessary, and that
the department could disregard all

youths left at school, but was against

Scientifically trained experts, how
ever, are needed and education Of
such men must be continued to an
extent. Men injured in the war will
be sent to colleges after they recover,

Only One of Them.

Eight members Of the Milk Pro-
ducers' association have been indicted
at Chicago. They are charged with a
criminal conspiracy to set the price of
milk, with its ramifications extending
from coast to coast and into every
milk producing state in the union.
There is hardly any reason to doubt
this allegation. Investigations also
would prove that there are in exist
ence conspiracies affecting prices OF
most commodities of human consump-
ton. Big business has the country SO
divided that it is an easy matter to
make price adjustments so that uni
formity will be SO general that the con-
sumner will take it for granted that
there must be justification for the
advances that are piled upon him. The
great pity is that in the face OF all OF
the inquiries carried on by the gov
eminent and the revealment of in
eliminating evidence, there has not
been melted out to the guilty adequate
penalizations. The only way that these
criminal combinations are to be
broken up and the men who are en-
gagged in such vicious practices today
forced to return to legitimate dealing
is to put few of their number behind
prison bars. Fines will not bring the
results desired.

Government Must Build
Barges.

In his statement before the senate
committee on commerce, James E.
Smith, president of the Mississippi
Valley Waterways association, stated
the case clearly when he said the
building of steel towboats and barges
for use on the river between St Louis
and New Orleans is essentially mat
ter which the government must handle
BY the expenditure of $780, 600 for
l6 towboats and 200 barges of ap-
proved type, Mr.. Smith estimated, an
annual tonnage of 3,4S0,000 tons could
be moved. The gross earnings, based
on present railroad rates, would be
between $5,00O,O00 and $7,00OOOO.
Anticipating the objection that such
an enterprise should be handled by
private capital, Mr.. Smith said care
full investigation had shown that pri-
waite capital, with the urgent demands
of the government upon it, could not
be depended upon to finance the barge
line in time to be of any service in
solving the wartime transportation
problem. In other words, it is up to
the government, if the boats are to be
built and put in use.
The proposed barge line, as Mr..
Smith pointed out, is the most econ
Omical and efficient way of moving
necessary war supplies from the mid
die west to tidewater. To move the
same tonnage by rail would require
an expenditure of about $4,000, 900.
Furthermore, to send foodstuff and
other war supplies by way of New
Orleans would relieve New York and
other Atlantic ports of that much con-
gestion.
The matter is as simple as AZ B, C,
and it is to be hoped that congress,
which is spending billions of dollars
for ships to carry supplies to Europe,
will not hesitate to spend few mil
lions to move portion of those sup
plies by the cheapest and most direct
route to the nearest seaport, which is

Shaking Up Packers.

The Chicago meat packers are &C.
cused of not paying their labor what
it is entitled to. Investigations have
established that living conditions are
miserable among employees of these
big concerns because the workers are
poorly paid Arbitration is now under
way. Labor wants an eight-hour day
The packers hold to 10 hours. The
packers are asked that women re-
ceive the same wage as men when
they perform similar tasks This
point is agreed to by some of the
packers. One Of the latter held that
1915 per day was enough to maintain
a family of six-fOur children and
himself and his wife This also is a
disputed question. They might exist
as they do now, but there would be
nothing to put aside to fight sickness
and other misfortunes that might be-
fall the household. Organized labor
finally has got an opening wedge into
the conditions surrounding the pack
ing industry, and likely will obtain
some beneficial concessions before the
inquiry is concluded.
