No HHlFoR IMPORTATION
OF MENCAAS and COOLIES,
|: SUBSEQUENTLY Ii. POST

, WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Assis-
2tant Secretary. of Labor Post says
there IFS absolutely no necessity for
the importation of laborers from
Mexico and China.
''The agitation for such action is
prejudicial," he says, ''because it
increases false impression that
there is not a sufficient supply of
domestic labor. The War-labor
problem will be solved just as soon
as the country as whole realizes
that there Is no general labor short
age and :devotes nil efforts to dis
tribution of the available supply.
"Any additional demands for
common labor can be met by bring
ing in American citizens from Porto
Rico and the Virgin islands Porto
Rico is an agricultural territory,
and yet has q density of population
that is exceeded by but three of our
states and is eight times greater
than that of the agricultural state
OF Iowa. Under perpetuated con-
ditiOns there, a considerable sur
plus OF workers exists in the island,
and by the transfer Of these to con-
tinental United States an actual
benefit would be conferred upon
them.'

Enormous: Economic Loss. Is
Caused By Long Trips to
=. and From Work.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The prob
lem OF finding men to work in ship
yards in this vicinity cannot be
solved merely, by speeding UP trans
portations from, New. York and
Brooklyn: but only by the building
of workmen's homes, according to a
study OF the problem by a local or
ganization Of citizens"
workers will not spend from three
to four hours going to and from their
employment" it is stated. Even if
they would, the government ought
not to permit such an economic
waste of fuel. a loss of vitality and
efficiency and high rate of labor
turnover.
This latter factor alone is enor-
nous. 1t is estimated that the cost
to the factory or plant for every man
whom It employs, but fails to keep
permanently, in other words, the
practice of hiring and firing, amounts
to between SO and $40 per man. IN
der these inadequate transit condi-
tons plants are employing three men
temporarily before they can secure
one permanent worker. Entirely
aside from the Reorganization, the
loss OF efficiency and productive ca
pacity, the direct cost Of the plant,
and therefore to the nation, is stag
gering, considering that we must by
July 1 maintain constant working
force Of approximately 10000 men
in sthe 18 shipbuilding plants near
New York"

SHOWS power OF
> ORGANIZATION

1.-THE Russian Revolution;'' show
ing at the Lyceum, Feb. 10, IA, Is
and 16, is a very good portrayal Of
the power of organization.
Car Nicholas, owner of. 100000
acres of land and supreme dictator Of
the largest nation in the world, was
overthrown with little difficulty and
at little cost Of life, due mainly to
concerted action by the masses.
The picture shows the burial Of the,
400 heroes, which was attended by
more than a million sympathizers,
who overcrowded the spacious streets
of Petrograd.
Workingnen played a prominent
part in this great drama Of Russian
freedom, and are plainly shown in
the act of examining prisons, federal
buildings and many other places,
where heretofore they had been for
hidden to trespass.
The picture also contains some very
interesting scenes taken from the
Russian battlefront.

organizations, got together twelve

then began, by an elimination pro-
cess, to retain only those necessary for
the purpose of controlling the general
policy Of the daily press throughout
They found it was only necessary
to purchase the control Of twenty-five
Of the greatest papers,. The twenty
aries were sent to purchase the policy,
national and international. of these
papers. An agreement was reached.
The policy of the papers was bought
to be PAID for by the re- month sth An sd

to the interests of the purchasers.
This contract is in existence at the
present time, and it accounts for the
news columns Of the daily press Of the
country being filled with all sorts Of
arguments and misrepresentation. I"
- This policy also included the
suppression of everything In opposi-
ton Of the interests served. The ef-
fectiveness of this scheme has been
conclusively demonstrated by the char
acter Of the stuff carried in the daily
press throughout the country since
March 1915.
The foregoing extract Of Repre-
sentative Calloway's speech are illu-
minating the source from which the
average citizen gets his opinions
nodded by the financial interests
through subsidized channels.
The twenty-five large metropoli-
tan papers strike the keynote and the
others throughout the land reiterate
"parrot-like" the sinister teachings.
Things would be worse, however, if
it were not for the labor papers.

MIRTH ABROAD
ON HALLOWEEN
Merry War Workers and
Soldier Boys Throng
Avenue.

War workers surprised Washing
ton last night. Many sympathetic
minds had pictured them in their
meager bedrooms wrestling with
nostalgia and memories of former
happy Halloweens spent in their
home towns.
Instead they thronged Pennsyl-
vania avenue. creatures of fire and
even deviltry, in fancy costume
tossing confetti and bandying per-
sifiage with mirthful men in uni
form.
There was something more than
the mere exhiIaration of Halloween
spirit that penetrated the town last
night. There was a scene of victory
abroad, and of peace in sight.
The most popular of the costumes
that the girls wore we're army and
navy uniforms.
Many staggered by with all the
"swank" that an overseas cap. put
tees and spurs can give. They did
not bother to wear masks. But the
girls who wore the costumes of a plain
sailor boy did-and giggled the while
behind them.
Small boys were exhorted earlier in
the day not to waste flour by making
ghosts of themselves, and not to in
dulge in indiscriminate throwing of
cabbages and other foodstufrs by
Clarence R. Wilson. But they man
aged to have a good time.
Neither war. influenza, prohibition
nor food conservation succeeded in
suppressing Halloween in Washing
ton this year.
