WAR DOUBLES LIVING
EXPENSES OF WORKMEN

London, March 3.-The cost Of
living for workingman's family in
England was nearly doubled during
the war, according to statement is-
sued by the Ministry OF Food. The
ministry bases its estimate upon
that of committee headed by Lord
Dumner which reported that in 1914
the average weekly expenditure for
a working-class family of six persons
was the equivalent Of $6.12. The min
istry estimates that the cost has
now advanced to $1191 week.
The ministry echoes the statement
OF Premier Llyd George forcasting
that the workkingman's cost of liv-
ing would be reduced about 81 week
this summer.

think Of those negroes these long
years since. They were part OF the
plantation, although the shackles of
their slavery had long been struck
away. They were the same negroes
our grand father owned and ethy

went, one by one, silently across to
, the mysterious beyond. We remem-
Der a sound thrashing that came our
way for mistreating one OF those old
darkies.
They have been long enough with
the south since slavery time for an
attachment to grow up which will
preserve their memories in American
literature, That is but small tribute
which may, after all, remain thus
preserved, for the negro of the old
South. Folk song and story will carry
him to the end of the time when peo-
Pile speak the English language.
Here and here alone will be his last
ing monument.
But the negro minstrelsy of those
days will pass. 1t is often noted al.
ready that the modern minstrel
show is farce as compared with
the real negro minstrel of planta-
ton days, 1t SO largely misses the
characteristic negro idea that those
who know tho negro, with lingering
regret pass out and back into the busy
world Smoking their heads. Fields and
Cohurn and the rest of them owe it
to the nation to retain the show OF
the old days.
The nation will applaud and the
south will feel that it is but q duty
TO preserve negro minstrelsy, thus
far paying the proper respect to the
old darkey who is passing. Most
people who know that the real old
southern darkey is going out also
know that he will soon be out of the
minds of the people who gave him
standing room. The negro minstrel OF
the true southern type will bear pre-.
serving, for when the last Of them are
gone, still will the south love to fol
low it through on the stage as they
did on the plantation in the days
that are no more.

FRANK DUMONI

rRAI and thin is the line Of 'Ameri-
~ can minstrelsy, from which Frank
Dumont has dropped SO soon after his
even more venerable colleague, Hughey
Dougherty. Like the latter, Mr.. Dumont
clung with all the force of affectionate
fOOtlight tradition to virtually as single
stage role. He was the mock pompous
intcrlocutor, "Ilughey' the irreverent
and irrepressible "end man The pair
perpetuated burnt-cork types long after
minstrelsy had ceased to play a promi-
nent part in the native theatre.
The influence of the interchangeable
ways broader than that of his hilarious
partner. Mr.. Dumont was a true pro-
tagonist in his performances, for he
wrote the skits. hundreds and hundreds
of them, in which he appeared. They
were crude, eXtravagant affairs, but the
keynotes of their blunt satiLe were hon
esty and good humor. No toIfc was too
formidable for the "classic" interlocutor
to tackle, and there were times when his
burlesques and playlets drove refresh
ingly straight to the heart of d political
or social problem in way that would
have delighted Aristophanes himself.
The disappearance of the racy, yet
ever cleanly, flavor of minstreIsy is a
distinct loss to public never more in
need of hearty, uncompromising frank
ness than today. If the conventional
form Of minstrelsy has become almost
archaic, its essential spirit is always wei
worth needing, especially in times OF
complex issues and much mental fog
Philadelphians have a right to be glaC
that Mr.. Dumont preserved a wholesome
tradition SO long and SO merrily in this
| city.

A POLL ON THE LEAGUE

T,HE President processes TO know what
the public thinks of the league of
nations, and so does Senator Borah. The
deductions of the two statesmen, how
eyer, are fatty contradictory. Popular
opinion is most elusive current and
sometimes an alleged stream of it proves
on investigation to be only mirage.
1t is the earnest desire to dispel some
of the mist and to learn something at
least of the sentiment of this city on an
issue of transcendent import which has
prompted the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
to undertake poll of Philadelphia,
The referendum" will be begun to
morrow and will continue throughout
the remainder of the week. Representa-
tives of this newspaper will be posted
on busy street corners, in industrial
plants, theatres, churches and wherever
the tide of typical humanity flows the
strongest.
The general issue is baslcally clear
cut, and so will be the questions asked.
1t is a "yes" or mo" verdict which will
be solicited Complete statistical ac-
curacy will, of course, be unattainabIc
under the conditions, but with the co
operation of the public highly interesting
tendencies will certainly be revealed, and
tendencies are Of the utmost significance
nowadays.
The man in the street, the woman in
the shop is naturally anxious to know
what the. rest of the citizenry is think
ing about subject upon which he very
probably has made up his own mind.

tive insight into the situation if he will

Of the average British worker. There are
patriotic Englishmen who have these
revelations in mind when they say that
the war didn't come too soon, because 1T
brought enlightenment.
Massachusetts, and New York have
better laws for the regulation of women's
working hours than those which prevail
in Pennsylvania. Years ago when the
eight-hour law was proposed in these
states the manufacturing interests ar
gued that they would be subjected to
unfair competition in neighboring terri
tories where the archaic driving system
prevaled-and still prevails. Yet they
have not ceased to prosper. Their out
put wasn't lessencd
Their experience was much like that of
the observation boards appointed in
America and in England to study war
production. They found that workers
who were rested in mind and body could
produce as much, if not more, in eight
hours than ii was possible to produce in
ten or twelve with a working force suf-
fering unconsciously from fatigue during
In this state the eight-hour day for
women is rapidly becoming the rule be-
cause OF voluntary action by manufac-
turers and agreements with labor unions.
These agencies of progress have been
more farsighted than previous Legisla-
lures, which refused to enact laws such
as are presented again at this session.
Only isolated groups of industries have
refused SO far to accept the inevitable.
There cannot be discrimination in such
law, because it will apply equally,
placing every industry included on the
same basis.
Opponents will argue that the law will
cause dislocations in industry. If there
are businesses that will be thrown out of
adjustment by such law, then they will
have to be reorganized and put upon q
modern basis. Those who oppose all
eight-hour day for women in these times
will win for themselves curious dis
tinction. They will make it plain that
they aren't even good business men. And
they will be self-eleCted to place among
those who are directly responsible for
sort of social unrest that in the end
merely represents great and silent criti-
cism of obvious wrongs.
