only by teaching the people to save
and not to compete with the Gov
eminent for labor and materials
that we can put the whole strength
of the nation into this war.
AS labor men we are called upon
to support the War Savings Cam
paign because:
l. 1t is our patriotic duty to sup
port the Government and to save
money in every possible way in or
der to lend it to the Government.
2. In saving money to invest in
War Savings Stamps, we are lessen
ing the demand for labor and capt.
tai to produce things that are not
needed for the war, and we are
lending money to the Government to
make a demand for labor and things
needed for the war.
3. Changes in industry must
come. To win the war we must
produce war goods. By refraining
from purchasing non-essentials and
by investing these savings in War
Stamps, we are using our own pur-
chasing power in a democratic way
to change the conditions of indus
try to meet the war needs-a meth
cd much to be preferred to the
communicating process by which
one factory may be closed as nom
essential, while another may be TAX
en- over by the Government.
4. The war must be won for it
is our fight. Our rights and privi-
leges; our homes a'd our lives are
at stake. We must be united, with
every man and every dollar doing
full patriotic duty in support of our
country.
5. AS trade unionists, we have
asked from State and Nation the
enactment of laws and the establish
ment of policies calculated to i'm
prove the conditions of wage earn
ers. Now the nation is calling upon
us for support, and it is for us to
denote, by the support we give at
this time, that we are entitled now
and in the future to extra considera-
ton at the hands of the law makers
of State and Nation
6. The forming of habits of thrift
and saving and investing in these
War Savings Stamps, which pay
per cent interest, compounded
quarterly, and are redeemable at
any time at cost, plus three per cent,
will benefit every war saver, be-
cause these savings represent the
habit of thrift and protection against
the time of need.
AS labor men we are drafted for
service no less than our brothers in
the trenches. So also are our dol
lars. Let US be 100 per cent pa
triotic. No matter what others may
do, let us see to it that the banner
of Organized Labor is always in the
front rank of patriotic service, real
izing that we are drafted for serv-
ice both Individually and collec-
lively.

COL. BRYCE p. DISQUE
WARNS TRAITORS

Col. Bryce P. Disque, head Of the
government department to secure
spruce, told mass meeting of log
gers, lumbermen and workers in this
city last Wednesday, that "every foot
of spruce is needed in order to
win the war, and that any man who
would destroy or prevent the secur-
ing of foot of spruce, is a traitor
to his country" This is a solemn
warning. Can any fit citizen hold
back or refuse to aid his country
in getting out this necessary prod

the people, like the /. w. W. they
would hamper and destroy.
The future holds so much for la
Dor. An American labor commits
sion leaves our country this month
for Great Britain and France. 1t
will carry a great message to the
toilers over there and on it's return
will bring one to us. And who
knows what may come? Long we
have held the hope that the bounds
of labor should know no interna-
tional lines. Perhaps that hope is
soon to be realized. Dreams of yes
terday are realities today. The old
order passeth, giving place to the
new.

The union label is constant re-
minder of the common interest and
common duty of all trade unionists
in and toward each other, and
certain guide in the discharge of that
duty.

By demanding the union label the
wife of the trade unionist becomes
truly the help-meet of the bread
winner, her powerful influence being
thus extended from the home to the
workshop, from which she is other
wise totally excluded.

WILL RESIST GERMANS READ and Be THANKFUL

! Comparison of Prices Which Should
Cause People to be Glad They are
Living Now.
Are you complaining Of the nigh
cost Of living?
Well, Abigail AGIams complained OF
The same thing. Perhaps after You
have read the following prices quot
ed from her letter to her husband,
the second president of the United
States, you will count yourself lucky,
hcsyever, to be living now instead OF
in Abigails time. This was Abigalls
price list in l776:
Meat, $1.O0 to $500 per pound.
Corn, $500 per bushel.
Rye, $4,000 per bushel
Potatoes, $1,000 per bushel.
Molasses, 1900 per gallon.
Flour, $500 per hundred weight.
Cider, $4,000 per barrel.
Cheese, $500 per pound.
Butterine, $500 per pound.
Sugar, $500 per pound.
In 1873 sugar rose to $500 per
round and tea the same. In lISO
butter sold for $1,000 a pound ana
tea for $4,000.
Such were the prices in revolution
AIRY times when we were only trying
to carry on war ard feed ourselves
1t the same time.
Now, however, our task is greater,
for we must not only fight, and feed
ourselves at the same time, but we
must furnish most Of the food for
the Allies, if we are to win this war.
Yet, prices today are considerably
lower than those which Abigail!
Adams paid in 1916.
T. the women in America hoard
food, however, or if they are waste
ful with it in their kitchens, as sure
" as the sun rises IN the east. the
cost of food will soar until we shall
X peat revolutionary prices.
Let US be thankful that as yet this
has not happened and that by econ
CmiZinp and avoiding waste, and by
buying wisely, no more and no less
than what we need at time, we
Eave Il in our power 20 keep the
cost of food normally low.

Unsinkable Ship to Be Well Tested.
Washington, Feb. 20.-lnt.matlon
that the unsinkable type of vessel like
tie Lucia will be used for the trans
mort of soldiers, was given yesterday
when Secretary of the Navy Daniels
announced the appointment of a board
Of naval experts to study the prac-

Secretary Daniels said that the o.
fcers would make a practical test OF
the se,yiceabilitv of the vessel and
her unsuitable qualities. He would
rot deny the possibility of actually fir
ing a torpedo against the vessel to
see if she were really proof against
attack. The naval officers probably
will take trip aboard the vessel
which is now at a southern port
They will observe her with a view
