is preparing for a hearing on his min
imum wage bill for working women
in the District of Columbia. This
measure will probably attract atten-
ton thruout the country, as it is the
result of study of the best minimum

Big placards have been posted in

Administration newspaper men pre-
dict that the railroad wage board will
hand down an award of about $780,
100000 year wage increases for the
railroad employees. Official estimates
of the number of the employees vary
from 100000 to 1,940,000. The
award is due by April 1.
W. s. Carter, president of the Lo-
comotive Firemen, and J. W. Frank
lin, president of the Boilermakers,
who are in charge of the labor end
of the railroad administration, are ar
ranging for series Of mediation COM
mittees to handle all industrial COM
plants in the service, when this award
is put into effect. There seems to be
no question that the best Of relations
exist today between the railroad ad-
ministration and all classes Of rail
road workers, and that these workers
are out for public ownership.

WHEN COMPETITION is FAIR
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE.

Never had fair show? Some fell
low in the shop always working
against you? The foreman has it in
for you? Too bad. But here-maybe
they are more than half right. Pos
sibly you've deserved all that came
to you. Honestly-have you always
given the other fellow a square deal?
for you: quit coddling yourself-it
never helped man to think that he
was being terribly abused, whether he
was right or wrong.
You are quite welcome to all the
notions that you can carry concern
ing social and economic reform-IIl
not quarrel with you about these. You

great sacrifice, to master your own
lob in all of its details, doing it bet
ter than it has ever been done before.
For it's the chap who crowds over
his present job that is most likely to
pick the bigger one. This sort of
thing will count so long as the world
shall last. 1t is the kind of compe-
tition that will never be driven out by
any social system. 1t is fundamental
in the law of human progress. If any
man tells you that there's no need to
enlarge your outlook, that there's no
necessity to become more proficient
in your daily work, he's either a fool
or a liar; in any case, he's mighty
unsafe leader.

may talk about them and think about
them all that you please. But won't
you remember this: no matter what
the coming social system may be, it
will be the personal equation that will
determine the place that you are to
occupy in the new dispensation. There
will be pretty nearly the same strug-
important then, isn't it, to get ready
for whatever may be coming down
the pike in the new order Of things.
First of all, fit yourself, person
ally, to think clearly and definitely by
cutting out every habit that befud-
dies your brain. Then equip yourself,

great deal of money, yet it is not as expensive to draft man as to re- cruit him as a volunteer. Just before we went into the war, in 1917, when we were still trying to increase our army by the old system of persuading men to join, it cost the government $28.95 for each man recruited. Dur ing the first year of the war it cost the government $4.93 for each man taken into the service.
 The cost of the draft is the first item in the cost of turning a citizen into a soldier. The bill is a large one, but the result more than justifies the expenditure"

 13,OOO.OO New Men Ready.
 Tn June, 1917, nearly 10,000,O00 men between the ages of 21 and 3l were registered for military service. In June and August, 1918, S5O,O0O more men who had just reached the age of 21 registered Now Congress has decided to enroll every man up to 45 years of age and down to IS.
 This new order will take in 13, ,00O,- 900 new men.
 Of course, it takes a great many people to do the actual work of regis tering these millions of men. A sepa- rate record is kept of each one, telling his name, age, what he does for liv- ing how many are in his family and @ great many other things Each one has to be explained by doctors and record is kept of their findings. Som etimes it is difficult to decide whether a man should go into the army or continue his present occupa- ton. Altogether about 30,000 men worked on local boards to put the selective draft through. This does not count the military officials who planned the work at Washington nor the many clerks and stenographers that were employed. All these off, cials had to be paid for their work and of course they had to have mill lions of printed forms to work with, notices to send out, etc. Altogether, the government spent over S13, 900. 900 to register it's army.

TEACHING CHILDREN
 DEMOCRACY'S STORY
Pupils in Schools Being Taught
 What AmeriCaniSnl Means

In each of the public schools of New Britain as well as elsewhere about the state, continual course of Americani- zation is being conducted, and to this end the teachers in all rooms yester- day read the following lecture to their pupils, that they may better under stand conditions US they exist today:
 Early in the summer Secretary Baker announced that there were l. 200, 1000 American troops in France At first the Germans would not be
 iieve that this was true. A German war official stated publicly that we did not have that many men in our whole army nor enough ships to carry them to France, that even if we had the men and the ships, the German sub marines would have sunk them before they reached Europe. He assured the German soldiers that they would never have anything to fear from American soldiers. No one, not even
 our allies, had expected us to put so
 many men on the field of battle in
 such a short time.
 ''The story of the making of our
 army is a very thrilling one. Of
 course, the 100000 men in France are only small part of the army that is now being trained in this country.
 And the men in American Training
 Camps are only a small part of those
 who are registered" for service and
 who will be called into the army as they are needed.
 Huge amounts of money have been spent in getting these men together, in training them to be soldiers in buy ing their food and cIot1ling and eQuip-
 army was to get enough men. This was done by what is called a selective draft Registering For The Draft As soon as the United States enter | ed the war, the government wanted to 1 know how many Nble-bodied men l there were in the country who could ] serve as soldiers. The people in every 1 city and country chose some of tn cir
 number to get this information from l their community. The men chosen | were called the draft board Every 1 man between the ages of 20 and 31 ] gave his name and address to draft ! board in his community. All these l men were registered so that the gov 1 ernment might call them to training camps as they were needed.
 This way of raising an army is call
 ed selective draft because the govern l ment has a list of men who are 1 eligible for service and can draw from l it as many as it wants. It is fair to
