N. Y. INVESTIGATION
 REVEALS AWFUL
 FAMILY CONDITIONS
High Cost of Living Robs Babies, Children and Adults of Needed Food and Retards Recovery From Illness

NEW YORK-In an investigation conducted by the municipal health de- partment it is found that nigh prices rob babies, children and adults of needed foods and retard recovery from illness
 The investigation was conducted by the nurses of the bureau of prevent able diseases and 2,O84 families were studied.
 Special attention was given to the influence of the high cost of living on the children's dietary. In 293 fami- lies the use of bottled milk was given up. In 206 other families milk was entirely eliminated from the children's dietary, and in Fl the amount used for children was considerably reduced.
 In 370 families the use of butter eliminated for children; in 191 fami- lies the amount used was reduced.
 Sugar was omitted from the chill dren's diet in Fl families and reduced in 139 families. The use of meat in the diet of children was given up in 544 families and reduced in 238.
 Eggs were entirely eliminated from the diet of children in 532 families and reduced in 1O7.
 In 807 families meat was entirely eliminated. In 388 families the dIIlouut ol HedC puIcHdSeu was dp- preciably reduced. In 882 families eggs were eliminated and in 615 fan1i- lies butter was eliminated.
 In studying the convalescence from illness the nurses found that 287 cases out of 2193 were definitely retarded, due to inability to obtain essentials of life. Among the adults the total amount of wages lost, in this pro tracted period, was $41, 1895.
 ''It may be amazing to many" is is stated, "that of these families, repre- senting a fairly cross section of con- ditions in New York city, 21 per cent. should have total income of $500 a year or less for the support of an average family of five persons during the beginning of 1918. An additional 3O.5 had total income of from $500 to $9O0 year, and about 21 per cent. an income of from $900 to $12OO a year." :e~e'
 A little over per cent. of these families were compelled to accept charity and in 9.8 per cent. of the homes the women were forced into in dustry.

ern barbers favor the admission of wo- men into the organization, while the barbers of the east and north are op- posed.
 Other important matters to come be- fore the convention will be the increas- ing of the sick and death benefits, the creating of pension fund, or the estab- fishing of home for aged members and those who are unable to work. MT Puglisi has advocated the adoption oi these through the columns of the Bar bers Journal.
 Mir Puglisi will introduce a resolu- tion to the effect that where barbers state license laws exist, 1t shall be recom- mended to the Legislatures and to the Governors of these stateS that union men be appointed on the commissions.
 MT. Puglisi has been the financial secretary of the Midd1etown Centra Labor Union for number of years and has been a very active unionist since entering the fold of organized labor He is student of economic conditions and the experience that will be gained from his attendance at big conven- ton will rebound to his and the benefit of organized labor in Middletown.

PUBLIC SERVICE
 RATHER THAN
 PRIVATE PROFIT
Not Necessary to Compel the Railroads to Earn Dividends on Millions of Dollars of Watered Stock

WASHINGTON -'The people must decide between service and profits in the settlement of the railroad ques- tion," said Frank Morrison, secretary of the A.. F. of L., in urging the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce to favor the Sims bill, which embodies the railroad employees solu- tion of the railroad problem.
 "In all discussions of this question" !" said the trade unionist, "it would be we'll to bear in mind that quasi-pub- lie corporations are created for serv- ice and not for profit. A long line of decisions, from the Supreme Court of the United States down, have invari- ably held that the fundamental pur- pose of these corporations is to serve the public and that they are only en- titled to fair remuneration.
 Financial Footballs.
 Hardly any one will deny that un- der private management the railroads have been financial footballs and that they have been directed by interests whose wreckage of numerous railroad systems is common knowledge. This Wreckage has been accompanied by a debauching of legislatures and other political activity that tested and dem ocratic institutions.
 "The times call for new arrange ments in the management of prop critics that are only made possible by the public's consent.
 The Sims Bill.
 ''The passage of the Sims bill will re-establish the theory that railroads should be operated for public service rather than for private profit.
 Aside from the application of dem ocracy in these properties and their handling by practical railroad men, the Sims bill will squeeze all fictitious values out of these properties. This will affect living costs and reduce charges the public now meet, for then it will no longer be necessary to com pei the railroads to earn dividends on millions of dollars of watered stock" !"

BOLSHEVISM RESULT
 OF EMPTY STOMACHS
''PIain People Must Get Together
 in Great Political Party. = :, Would Rule in the Interest of
 the Many''
By D. c. BIGGS


 The political and the industrial rob bers of the masses i'll this and other countries say that Bolshevism is the re- suit of empty stomachs. And then straightway 1t is fed bullets Such rem edy fills hasty graves, but 1t will not cure Bolshevism, for those who try to destroy 1t this way are the real breed CTS of it. Those who claim it is the result of hunger are trying to camou- hage their own responsibility for it. and discrininated against on all sides are getting restless. Commissions are appointed ostensibly to protect them against the rapacity of public utilities, and then frequently they find the com mission robbing the masses in the inter est of the public utilities.
 Food is wilfully destroyed to enhance it's price to the extortioners. Appeals to courts are in vain The plain citizen stands little show in court if opposed by the robber barons of big business.
 The law and the federal. constitution protects the strong, and the wealthy, but neither protects the poor or children If financial barons want to exploit them.
 Our Boasted Liberty
 Congress Is preparing laws to more securely throttle free speech, free press, free assemblage. If these be enacted they will make more Bolshevisrn in America than there will be ships to de- port it, or prisons to hold it. And liberty will become a byword of disgust. Even now there Is no more liberty ln America than there was in Europe be- fore the war. And the greatest propo- nent of Democracy lives in district where the people have no vote. or voice in its government He appoints per sons to rule his half million subjects and they must obey. This is autocracy in democracy's clothing. It is as con sistent as our claim to liberty.
 The plain people have liberty to pay taxes, submit to profteering, to graft ing on all sides, and to being torn from home and jobs to go and fight while rob Der barons stay in safe places and ply their iniquitous methods.

A. of M.
 Standing by Lavit
