WORK|NGMEN TO FIGHT
ANY WAGE SCALE CUTS
Reduction Would Lower Their
Standard Of Living, Says Sec
retary Of A. F. L.

The workingmen of this country
will fight any lowering of wage scales
during the period of readjustment, ac-
cording to Frank Morrison, secretary
Of the American Federation of Labor.
Regardless Of the wishes of indi-
viduals or groups" said Mr.. Morrison,
any reduction Of present wage scales
in this country will be opposed by the
workers, who will not accept wage
reductions, for the simple reason that
this procedure will lower their sta nd
ard Of living. And by standard of liv-
ing refer to substantial food, cloth
ing, housing and all necesaries Of a
well ordered life.
'The cost of living is not a theory
with the workers; 1t is a plain, un-
vanished tale that cannot be ex-
planned away by sophistry. The
United States bureau of statistics
shows that living costs are mounting
higher and higher.
Its report for August, this yer,
shows an increase Of 2 per cent over
last July, an increase of Is per cent
between August last year and August
this year, and an increase of 70 per
cent during the five-year period be-
tween August, 1913, and August, 1918.

Many Entries for Walking Race.

Thanksgiving afternoon at $3.50 on

they are new to the walking game, so
that the field would seem to be fairly

IN FRANCE, October 25 Correspond

classification office is the wedding
out" agency for the American tight
ing forces in France.
In a large walled camp overlooking
the Loire river is the headquarters
where Army officers schooled in effi-
cheney and psychology ascertain
whether a soldier has become unfit
for the fighting lines.
To this Office are sent officers and
men alike from the battlefelds north
of the Marne, from the st. Mihiel
Meuse and Argonne sector. 1t Is
duty of the classification officers to
return the men under consideration
to the fighting units. to assign them
to industrial work or to direct their
return to the United States as unfit.
Testimonial for Some.
To be unfit does not imply dis
grace in a great majority of the
cases. For every man who has
proved to be lacking in soldierlike
qualities there are hundreds for
whom the word unfit" is testi-
monial of valor They are the
wounded sent from headquarters to
the classification camp and found to
be so injured as to be unfit for fur
ther service.
Besides those sent from the hospi-
tails to this camp are those officers
and men who were found wanting in

Few Wholly Inefficient.

In only few instances did they
prove wholly inefficient, but there are
many who demonstrated that a mis-

It is not expected that any-or. at
least, not more than very few-of
these officers will be returned to the
United States deprived of their rank,
but it is certain that many of them
will be assigned to work for which
they are better fitted than that they
have had. Some will go back to the
service of supply and some whose
previous training has peculiarly
fitted them for Office work will find
