The Week at Home

The cost of living continued during
the last week to be the absorbing
topic for discussion. Among those
whom the problem hits in its prac-
tical aspects by reason of the
emaciated weekly pay envelope the
feeling seemed to be that it was
a great misfortune for so much
energy to be devoted to discussion
and so little to action. A. B. Gar
retson, adviser to the Order of
Railway Conductors, said to the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee: aft you think
the social crust can't be broken
you are mistaken. Inaction is sure
to bring ferment to a head I'm

reasonable pressure of living con-
ditions we are bound to have

committee the labor leaders of the
country are Sitting on the lid" to

wages. Shopmen were reported re-
turning to work all over the coun-
try. Meanwhile, the representa-
tives Of the men in Washington
continued to advocate before Con-
