WILL
BE- DEFEATED.
IS THE BELIEF
Both Berger and Bodenstab
Claim They will Be Elect
ed, By Big Majority.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 19.-Voters
In the Fifth Wisconsin congressional
district today are choosing between
Victor L. Berger, Socialist, and Henry
H. Bonestab, fusion candidate, run
ming on the Republican ticket, to fill
the vacancy caused by congress- re-
fusal to seat Berger on his certificate
of election in November, 1918.
1t is generally conceded that a light
vote would favor Berger, while a
heavy poll apparently would elect
Bodenstab. Poll lists in the districts
contain approximately $4,000 names.
Berger is conceded 10000 votes which
is about 5000 more than he received
in November, 1918, when the candi-
dates of the two old parties together
received 22,S54 votes.
Berger claims he will be elected by
a majority ranging from 5000 to TO-
900 and Bodenstab predicts that with
a heavy vote he will be successful by
several thousand to the good.
q During the campaign -thse SOCIALISTS
upheld all the acts of Mr.. Berger for
which he was indicted andEconvicted,
while the fusionists attacked what
they termed "Bergerism and Boil
shevism" and made loyalty" the
theme of their arguments.
Berger, in a statement last night at
the close Of the campaign, said the
matter of his reelection was not a
personal one nor even that of the
Socialist party; that it was case of
representative government
BOdenstab said he wanted the votes
of those who believe in America. Of
those who cherish institutions which
have made this the greatest, the best,
the most worth while country on
earth"
ned on having a large number Of
workers employed to check up the
vote during the day and get tardy
voters to the polls.
With the exception of two outlying
towns in the district, the polls will
open at a. m. and close at p. m.

moral support from the community,
except where the demand is clearly
unreasonable. Wage levels must be
high enough to maintain a standard
of living worthy of responsible free
citizenship in a democracy.
Actual wages, that is. wages reck-
oned in power to purchase commodi-
ties, have been decreasing for several
years in spite OF wage increases
There is urgent need of provision by
industry under the guidance OF the
government for some regular method
of adjustment of wages and salaries
to the purchasing power of money.
High wages are desirable as a general
principle" Employers who justify low
wages or wage reductions should open
their books and submit their figures
to public scrutiny, adds the commits
sion.
To provide employment. the com
mission advocates that nationwide
employment service be maintained and
suggests adoption of a policy of pub
lie works and land settlement, a
social insurance of cover ~unemploy-
ment due to Industrial conditions or
i'll health; and the rehabilitation Of
industrial cripples under the direction
OF the state and at the expense of
industry. A general policy of yoca-
tional training is approved.
Concerning the payment of the war
debt, it is pointed out that, powerful
influences are organized to shift the
burdens of this debt on the public
while the public itself is unorganized
and practically unable. to protect it
self" A revolt, the commission says,
already has taken. place against the
policy of levying direct taxes upon
minor luxuries of the people. Reso-
lutte use. it adds, should be of the
graduated income and Inheritance
taxes as =" just method for placing
the heavier burdens upon those most
able to bear them" S

CHURCH TAKES
UP CAUSE OF
WORKING Man
FEDERAL COUNCIL CHURCHES
or CHRIST ISSUES STATEMENT
IN BEHALF or LIVING STAND
ARDS.

New York, Aug. 5.-The Protestant
church of this country represented In
the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America, today issued
q declaration that the state should
attempt to secure to the worker an
income sufficient to maintain his fam
lily at a standard of living which the
community can approve"
This was part Of a pronouncement
on the attitude Of the church toward
social reconstruction which was
drawn up by the commission on the
church and social service Of the fed
eral council. The federal council is
a congress Of thirty leading Chris
ton bodies for united action.
The statement asserts that 1T is
a false idea that the churches are
only concerned with religious, edu-
cational and charitable enterprises.
They are or should be vitality concern
ed with civic, economic and other
social interests"
Rights of working men to share in
the control of industries are set forth
in this statement at length. I'VE have
come upon the times when people are
not submissive to injustice or to un-
necessary privation and suffering"
declares the church commission. They
are deeply and justly in earnest. II
those who are the actual industrial,
political and social leaders of the ma
ton will not act upon the principle
that the greatest shall be the servant
of all then the people, themselves.
with indignation and bitterness, are
sure to take their destiny and that
of the world into their own hands.
Glass consciousness and the use of
violence are not confined to the revo-
lutionary groups. The possession of
wealth and education tend to the for
nation of classes, and Industrial own
ership and management to a class
conscious ruling group. We observe
the dangerous tendency of many state
and municipal officials to deny fair
hearings to radical offenders and to
use unnecessary and provocative bru-
taiity during strikes
Legislature, judges and officials
should act firmly, but justly, without
buster and with unnecessary violence
Working men believe that they do
not get an equal chance before the
law and 1t is highly important that
: whatever real basis there is for this
conviction should be removed.
"A deep cause Of unrest In industry
is the denial OF labor of a share in
Industrial management. Laborers
must be recognized as being entitled
to as much consideration as employers
and their rights must be equally safe
guarded. This may be accomplished
by assuring the workers as rapidly
as IL can be done with due consid-

by combination of ownership and
