the harvests will be on. In the mean
time there is vast amount Of farm
work to be done.
"ln this situation l urgr that, in
every community throughout the
State, neighbors, who know local con-

their time to help on the farms from
which the operators or laborers have
been taken into the army. In this
way. and in this way only, will a
great economic loss be avoided. In
this way only can great amount of
foodstuff and feeds uffs, too precious
in view Of war demands and war con-
ditions to lose, but which will other

that will count heavily, and I hope
that our people will be quick to see

More and more men must be drafted

BOOZE WILL PAY WAR DEBT.
Drink Bill $4OO,O 100000 More Than
First Liberty Loan.
(Wallace's Farmer

dlldCS
In recent issue we spoke of tae
food and labor that would be saved
if the United States should cut out
the booze business, even during the
war. 1t would mean turning over
50,000,000 bushels Of grain a year
for food purposes, instead Of using
it for booze; and it would add the
labor Of about million men to other
industries.
There is another phase OF it which
should be considered: 1t is estimated
that the actual retail drink bill Of the
United States before the war was So
400.000,000. This is $400.000,00O
more than was asked for our first
Liberty Loan, and it is equal to our
total annual exports before the war
1T is enough to buy most of the war
savings stamps now being offered,
The money spent for booze Is worse
than wasted. Booze impairs the ee-
ficiency of the drinker to earn more
money. 1t increases the number Of
fires. the loss of property in other
ways, the number of accidents, the
expense Of maintaining police depart
ments and jails. If, therefore, we
should bring about entire prohibit
ton, we would add to our industries
the labor Of the men now engaged in
the various phases of the booze bus;-
ness. We would save large
amount OF grain each year. We would
save the rent paid for buildings oceu-
pied by saloons, warehouses and
brewing establishments. We woUld
save the automobile trucks needed
for handling this great traffic, as we'll
as the gasoline and oil needed to run
them. We would increase the eff

which justifies the expectation that
it will prove of practical value, is the
recognition of the trade unions as
the normal and practical agency for
dealing with workers, and through
which workers give expression to the
wrongs they demand to be righted
and the rights they justly aim to Sc
cure. In recommending agencies for
mobilizing labor and for dealing with
industrial disputes, trade unions are
given fitting recognition as existing
agencies fitted to perform necessary
work. This is different attitude
from the old-time legal" view Of
trade unions which regarded them as
conspiracies calculated to do nothing
but mischief to society. Indeed, 1t is
quite the reverse of the view taken
by the United States supreme court
in the Coppage case and in the opin-
ion in Hitchman VS.. United Mine
Workers.
The declaration that the right of
workers to organize in trade unions
and to bargain collectively through
chosen representatives shall not be
denied, abridged, or interfered with
by the employers in any manner
whatsoever, given effect by executive
order, practically nullifies the declar-
alton of the supreme court that an
employer can deny employees the right
to belong to a trade union by coerc-
ing each into signing a pledge not to
join a union, and reinforcing the
/ coercion with court Injunction. The
position taken by the supreme court
will inevitably be nullified or re-
pealed by economic forces that must
| find constructive channels for opera
alton even though those channels be
hampered by the court. The group
of employers and workers, with the
approval of the two lawyers (Taft
and Walsh) who acted as chairmen
composing the conference board, rec
ognize the position of the supreme
court as unwise and impracticable.
A declaration in the recommends
tons of outstanding Importance is
! the right of all workers, including
common laborers, to living wage
and that in fixing wages the mini
mum rates established should insure
the subsistence of the worker and
his family in health and reasonable
comfort. The welfare of labor in
cludes all workers. No group be-
longing to single trade or calling
can make permanent progress unless
all workers, even the so-called un-
skilled and common laborers, are as
sured living wages.
