ment.

by the war department that the op-
orators be withdrawn from the pri-
vate stations, because of the short
age of men in the service; where
upon the commercial clubs of In
terror Alaskan towns came TO the
rescue. at the urgent request Of

the present strike, explained Com
pers, is the right of employees to
have some voice in determining the
conditions under which they shall
work. The steel corporation had
sternly opposed the mems attempts
to associate and organize. Men
have been discharged, he declared,
for merely talking of an organiza-
ton, and they have been logged by
the company detectives and brutally
prevented from meeting.
In conclusion, Gompers explained
that the men were in such a frame
o. mind that they could not post
pone the strike until after the labor
conference, as requested by Presi-
dent Wilson. Conditions had be-
come unbearable.

CUMM|NS SAYS
COVENANT WILL
PROVOKE WARS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 26.
speaking in opposition to the
League of Nations covenant today,
Senator Albert S. Cummins, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, declared that when
President Wilson concluded his work
in Paris. in connection with the
German peace treaty, America had
nc friends in Europe, Asia, or At
RIGA.
Our brilliant service in the
war continued the senator, was
almost forgotten in the storm of
protests which followed the Ameri-
can President home"
The people at first welcomed the
League of Nations covenant, ex-
planned Cummins, as means of
preventing wars. But lately they
are discovering provisions in the
covenant which must inevitably pro-
woke wars
Cummins denied the charge that
the senators opposing the league
are actuated by political ambitions.
The fight is one, he declared, which
involves the future independence of
America, which is safer without
such an ENHANCEMENT as is pro
posed by the covenant than with it.

WICHITA, Kansas, Sept. 20
Physically exhausted from his long
and hurried trip across the CONT
nent in defense Of the League Of
Nations proposition, President Will
son abandoned his tour today and
is now speeding toward the capital,
under orders from DR.. Grayson to
seek complete rest until his strength
is recovered. In an explanation
made public here this afternoon.
DR.. Grayson said that the condi-
ton Of the President is not critical,
but sufficiently serious to warrant
the cancellation of his speaking en-
gagements. The doctor describes il
as nervous reaction affecting the
digestive organs. "....
President Wilson became i'll late

the program.
The condition Of the President
improved considerably during his
stay here, so much that he was
able to sit up before his train start
ed for Washington. Before leav-
ing, he issued a statement in which
he expressed regret over his ina
bility to address the people of Kan
sas The presidential train is sched-
uled TO reach Washington on Sun
day.
One of the things that contrib
uted TO the breakdown of the Presi-
dent was the tiresome handshaking
a, almost every station. Automo-
lille parades, in which he was re
quired to remain standing in his
car, waving his hat, also helped to
weaken him, and the audiences
which he addressed were so large
that it required all his strength TO
make his voice heard. In all, he
has delivered forty speeches since
leaving Washington.

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-05-09

Query.-What do o mir OF paint as
an Investment. aside from the appearance
it lends? Does it really PAY to paint a
house regularly. say. every three or four
years?
Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed is the main thing in
making a house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted at a
cost Of about $125. In 60 years that
house will need about 10 paintings,
the total cost of which will be $1,S95.
Left without paint, such a house would
fall into complete ruin in 80 years. So
taking go years as a basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time In good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the cad of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without paint, $4,000 for
a home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? AS the old
Dutch adage says:

E
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExlNG PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men to
work. Would not a similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and mosl economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer.-It is learned that such a
plan is In effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is no
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
dltions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption Of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now off, and there is
scarcely a town. q city, a factory, a
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
q crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical. No matter what
1t costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost of neglect. No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.
