Friday partly cloudy, warmer in east portion; Saturday, unsettled, somewhat colder.

no attention to scientific wood cutting, but are stripping the country of all kinds and sizes of trees to such an extent that it will take generations of scientific reforestation to restore these stretches of country. The In- dians on their small tracts cannot compete with this system, as they have been taught for centuries to practice conservation and to cut only such trees on their places as should be cut.

WAGE SETTLEMENT IS AGAIN DEFERRED
Railmen's Demand for Increase Based by Continuance of Con- trol by United States Govern4 ment.


 Washington, Dec. 25.-President Wilson's proclamation returning the railroads to private control March 1 lends new aspect to wage problems now before Director General Hines. In the opinion of railroad administra- tion officials the presidents order, made public last night, should tran quilize the labor situation, because the time of government control is ex- tended by two full months. Union officers, who have been pressing for settlement of their demands before the roads went back, on the supposi- tion that the transfer would be made January 1, the date originally set, have not indicated how the pro- clamation will affect their plans.
 The only wage demands now before MT. Hines are those of the 5OO,00O shopmen, who were refused general increase of 25 per cent last summer. President Wilson and the director general took the position that the war cycle of advancing prices and increas- ing living costs must come to an end President Jewell and the executive { council of the six shop crafts recently renewed their demands. They were oel,aJ +o o,ro;+ o,, ofGo;o1 ..apor+ hxy Attorney General Palmer, since made public. MT. Palmer's report showed that the customary upward march of prices during the fall months had been much less this year than in the past, and expressed the conviction that the next two months would show substan- tialresults in reducing the imitation of living costs. The cost of living ques tion, therefore, still is unsettled in the minds of high government officials, and will not be settled until after gov ernment control of the rail systems has expired. It remains to be seen what view the president and the di- rector general will take of the shop mems renewed demands for more money in the light of the attorney generals statement. It is said the shop workers were represented to be growing restless over the lack of ac- tion on their demands.
 Extension of the time of federal control will necessitate the placing of additional contracts by the railroad administration, because purchases up to this time generally have been for delivery up to the end of the year. Some rails and ties have been bought, also other materials for maintenance work. Orders by MT. Hines for an inventory of materials on hand as of January 1, will be changed to have the inventories as of March 1. The information will be used in settling accounts with the roads.

LABOR's ATTITUDE
With Wages Doubled and Production
Cut in Half Serious Conditions
Are Faced

E'I,np'ontant plans for new con
struction, proposed by corporation
and other lal'ge interests, and nee
essary for the country's increased
industrial production. are being
postponed because the men who are
putting up the money say they have
come to the limit Of their endurance
in being bullied by labor" said :
Baltimore contractor this week.
The statement comes with the
more force from this source as the
contractor in question is recognizes
as having 20 prejudice against union
labor as such, his, principal in.
terezt being in getting an honest
days work done.
Several corporation officials have
told me-" he continued, shat they
are tired Of being domineered by la
Dor, and that rather than continu-
ously yield to its agressions, they are
going to defer, if not give up, the
building projects they have in mind"
Asked to give his opinion on wha;
labor, in the structural field, is Civ
ing in return for the increased wages
received, he said:
"A dollar paid to bricklayer.
carpenter, painter or member of the
other trades associated in conStruc-
ton does just about what % cents
did at the beginning Of the war,
Generally speaking, wages have
doubled and production is only half
as great.
He touched on the matter of brick
laying, which has recently aroused
Sc muuh discussion. Eve used to gel
400 brick laid per man day on :
rough brick wall; 600 is about the
number now." he said. "And so much
time is wasted. You can count about
an hour 4 day lost in getting ready
fer work ard getting ready 20 qui!
work. As TO getting paid, the men nc
longer condsscend to line up at win
dow; their money is brought to them
on the scaffold.
''Thc whole attitude Of labor, so
far as / have been able to observe
is one OF defiance. The men show no
interest in the:r job. They seem to
say: We are willing to do just so
much, and we dare you to try TO make
US do more Net what they can pro-
duce but what they can extort APP
pears their chief concern.
"They are confident that they have
capital on the run; that they have
only to strike and it will be granted
unto them; that they have Congress
in their pockets, and that they had
better get now while the getting is

TO PRESS LABOR TRUCE
Rcpudiated Committee Will Appeal
to Rank and File of Unions

New York, Sept. John f. Pierce
and Isadore Epstein, who were ap-
pointed by James P. Holland, pres.i-
dent Of the State Federation Of Es-
cor, to devise ways and means of re-
ducing the high cost of living, and
whose reconln for suspen-
sion of strikes for six months was re- !.
oudiated by Mr.. Holland, announced
n a letter to Mr.. Holland that they
will continue to work for their plan
,morg the rank and file of labor, and
would demand changes in the funda-
mental laws of the Federation which
will deprive false leaders of power to
:ause untold misery" The letter to
Mr.. Holland said, in part:
"Our conscience pleads with US to
70 on with the work we have begun.
F., md we will do SO as members of the
ark and file Of organized labor, max
ng appeal to our brothers CT the
'ank and file.
"Our report Of September was
BASED on study Of existing economic
conditions. We could see no other way
III: of the difficulties that bcset the
ouE'try than by the declaration Of
truce to all industrial welfare, and
lrliting' with the President of the
United States to lower the cost Of
living and restore the country to a
;ound business basis.
"We hope to see the day very soon
When no trade or industry will be al
owed to order a strike without per-
mission of the executive council. It
$ a.power too great to be left in The
lands of men who sometimes exercise

"There should be a check placed |
1pon such men. There should be a

Either way, you make full pint-more
than you can buy ready.made for three
times the money. II is pure, good and
verv pleasant--childre take it eagerly.
You can feel this take hold OF a cough
