Employers Platform
 Presented To Labor
 Conference AtCapital

Tn the platform submitted by the Employers group to the Labor Con ference at Washington twelve prin- Ciples were enumerated. It places great stress on the necessity for in crea sed production as the means of reducing the cost of living. Only on one point does it agree with the labor platform. This is in the matter of pay for women, the employers hold ing with the labor men that equal pay for equal work fega. Hess of sex should he the rule.
 The employers platform follows:
 Twelve principles arc enunctated in the platform presented by the e,n- pIoyers' group. If is as follows:
 ''Production-Thcre should be no intentional restriction of productive effort or output by either the ern- pIoyer OF the employee to create an artificial scarcity of the product or of labor in order to increase prices or wages.
 '"The Establishment as a Produc- tive Tnit-The establishment, rather than the industry as q whole or any branch of it. should as far as prac- ticabIe be considered as the unit of production and of mutual interest on the part of employer and employee, Each establishment should develop contact and full opportunity fer in terChanEe of view between manage ment and men, through individual or collective dealings or a combination of both.
 'Conditions of WOrl-It is the duty of management to make certain that the conditions under which work 3s carried on are as safe and as sat.s- factory to the workers as the nature of the business reasonably permits, Every effort should be made to main tain steady employment of the work CTS both on their account and to tn- crease efficiency,
 "Wages-The worker should re- celye a wage sufficient to maintain him and his family at a standard of living that should be satisfactory to a right-ninded man in view of the prevailing cost of living, Women doing work equal with that of men under the same conditions should re- ceive the same rates of pay and be accorded the same opportunities for t-a.uing and advancement.
 Hours of Work-The standard of the work schedule should be by the week. varying as the peculiar require 1rents of individual industries may de maud. Overtime should, as far as pos sibIe, be avoided, and one day of rest in seven should be provided.
 settlement of Disputes - Each establishment should provide ade- .7ua1e means for the discussion Of all questions and the just and prompt settlement of all disputes, but there should be no improper limitation or impairment of the exercise by man ageraenc of its essential function of judgment and direction,
 Tight to Associate-The associa- tion of men, whether of employers. employees or others, for collective action or dealing confers no author iIy and involves no right If cOmpul- sion over these who do not desire 10 act or deal with them as an associa- 1ion- Arbitrary use of such collect i've power to coerce or control others vii Ut their consent is an infringe

GERMANS HOPE JEWS WILL QUIT
 COUNTRY SOON
Campaign Is Launched To Arouse Feeling Against
 Jewish People.

Berlin, Oct 11-(Corresponde of The Associated Press) The Hansa Bund of Hamburg, a mercantile as sociation of the great port. has re- quested the publishers of the Ger man Officers Gazette, to publish a demand upon the public, not to read Jewish newspapers. The demand mentions as some of the prominent German papers owned by the Jews the Berlin Tageblatt, the Ullstein pa pers, Vossische zeitung. BerIiner Zeitung Am Mittag, MoTgenpost and the National Zeitung.
 This Is the latest, and most direct move in the anti-semitic campaign that is growing in Germany. It is another result of the revolution, which in removing the old censor ship. removed with 1t every vesttge Of control over everything.
 The Pan German papers of course are behind the anti-sem1tic campaign, becoming boIder and boIder week by week until some virtually plead for pogroms while others content them selves with earnest hopes that all the Jews will leave Germany and go to PaleStine-or anywhere else in the world than Germany.
 The agitation began, as The Asso- ciated Press correspondent had ample opportunity to see, ill Bavaria shortly after the armistice and the revolu- ton. It was St first inspired by op- ponents of Kurt f1isner and the other Jews who constituted a part of the government of the first republic in Bavaria. It was furthered chiefly by the officer caste, which found thous- ands of sympathizers among the real Bavarians who joined the movement in dislike if not hatred of the foreign element that had invaded Bavaria during the war.
 Thence it spread with ever-increas- ing rapidity, and blazed out in Nor thern Germany, where it had always existed but had been more or less dormant because of the governmental restrictions. It has achieved greater headway because some members of the present government are Jews.
 Minister of Defense Noske recently took steps to prevent a threatened pogrom, which evoked a letter from a Pan American who complimented Finn on his attitude toward po- groms.
 Officers of troops in the east re peatedIy are accused of deliberately furthering an oppression of their Jewish soldiers. All in all, the life o1 the Hebrew is one of the most un- comfortable in Germany.
 Berlin is flooded with anti-semitit literature. The west end of the city i: the particular stamping ground o1 those who distribute it. The an tagonism to Jews extends to aImos every strs-turn of the German popu lation. Magazines, weeklies and monthlies devote columns to the sub ject.

UKRAINE SCENE
 OF WHOLESALE MURDER OF JEWS
Entire Communities Are Wiped Out By Soldiers
 of Petliura.

Authentic reports have reached this country of a series of massa cres which have ragged in the Ukraine since last Novem Der, which have resulted in the slaughter of 30,000 Jews. Whole communities have been wiped out by the soldiery of General PetIfura the 'anttbolshevist crusader" and Gen eral Grfgorieff, whose officers, in many cases, were members of the "Black Hundred" which won 1nur- derous notoriety during the Czarist regime. A number of pogroms were carried out also, by Bolshevist troops in spite of rigorous measures by their officers who shot down hundreds of them, according to these reports which are made by Meir Grossman. member of the Jewish National As sembly in the Ukraine, and Dr. A. horalnik. Both of these men, who made their way to London from Kief in order to make their report are well known journalists.
 Attached to the report is a list of 38 towns in Southern Russia where these massacres occurred. Five thous- and five hundred were killed at Pros kurov. Two thousand were killed in Eltzabethgrad. There the mob threw bombs into the cellars whe~.. whole families had taken refuge. In Zabalritch the butchery lasted two days. The Jews had locked them selves in their houses, the bandits entered and in grim silence struck the Jews down one after the other At Toherkassi 800 were killed; at Lii tire 400. The whole population of Bobri, an agricultural colony, was ex- terminated, except one old man and five children. The Jewish communi- ties of kublttch, Alexandrovna, Ned J1boge and Radomysl were wiped out At Ha birievka all the men, 300 in number, were killed. The town of

Tobacco Habit Dangerous

says Doctor Connor, formerly of Johns Hopkins hospital. thousands of men suffering from fatal diseases would be in perfect health today were it not for the deadly drug Nico- tine. Stop the habit now before it's too late. It's a simple process to rid yourself of the tobacco habit in any form. Just go to any up-to-date drug store and get some Nicotol tablets; take them as directed and To; the pernicious habit quickly vanishes. Druggists refund the money if they fail. Be sure to read large and in teresting announcement by Doctor Connor soon to appear in this paper. It tells of the danger of nicotine pois- oning and how to avoid it. In the meantime try Nictol tablets; you will be surprised at the result.-Adv.
