Red Cross home service sections and

q. list of such men has been sent to the

county chapter, according to infcrma-

Red Cross workers thruout the
country are reporting numerous cases
of daily occurrence in which such men
many Of them discharged soldiers
are appealing to Red Cross home serv-
ice workers and telling hard luck
stories that prove upon investigation
to be untrue.
Many of these men are going from
place to place, it is said, attempting
to obtain money from home service
Investigators to assist them in their
wanderings. This is an imposition on
Red Cross funds and upon the sympa-
thy of Red Cross women.
The Red Cross, officials say, wants
to be of service to every man who
served in the forces of the nation dur
ing the world war, but it wants this
assistance to be helpful and not to en-
courage men in idleness.
Because of the comparatively large
number OF these .fIoaters' instruc-
tions have been in the past sent to
home service sections of Red Cross
cha piers thruout Kansas to verify the
stories of strangers appealing for as
sistance. Compliance with such rules,
it is thought, will do much to cut
down the number of such imposters.

URGES GOVT FOOT DOWN
Becker, in Letter to journal, Tells His
Ideas OF Profiteering.

If the government is going to prose
cute jess Willard, for profiteertag in

enlarge. its jails and penitentiaries
expressed opinion of Phil Becker, pro-
prietor of the Palace garage, in a
letter to The State Journal
TT is plainly evident" he says, that
every line of business and almost
every necessity has been used to pro-
handling them during the past two
years. In my Judgment it will do mo
good to prosecute Willard nor will it
do any good to have fair price com
missions, for anyone knows from ex-
peTience that we have too many COM
missions and government leeches now,
and with them all the price continues
to elevate.
'sIn fact, everyone is profiteering
and it is unjust and unfair to say that
production must be increased to above
normal before we can expect any re-
duction in price. The capitalist. mafl-
ufacturer and middle man. in faet>aIl
can and must in time stand a part of

Becker says he believes the gov
ernment is largely to blame for the
present high prices and labor troubles.
And" he continues, the govern
ment must in some way bring about
| a more settled condition and it must
/ be obtained without greater cost to
the public than the condition is worth.
When war was declared the govern
ment called for soldiers TO fight for
81 day, and got them It called for
laborerS at exorbitant prices and got
them But in the shuttle labor was
educated to the unreasonable price.
Labor began to howl for money.
Prices began to jump, and they are
still jumping. with each party laying
the blame on the other The govern
ment did these things in a hurry and

out all this 'fol-de-roP OF committees
and investig tigations.

down on the price question in the
