MILLS AID EMPLOYEES.
Pittsburgh Factories Selling Food
and Clothing at Cost.


Pittsburgh, Dec. 27.-A number of
important manufacturing concerns IN
this city are selling food and cloth
ing at cost to their employees, in an
effort to meet the advancing price
commodities.
One company buys for its work
men every two weeks q carload Of
hams and bacon. This is shipped dir
Get from the packer to the mill, and
there sold to the men at cost, plus
the transportation charge. The pre-
sident of the company endorses 1t as
one of the best things he has ever
done for his men.
Another concern has been supply
ing many of its mill and office en-
ployes with canned goods, wearing
apparel, including overcoats and
shoes and even children's shoes. The
saving was such as to make the wage
earners enthusiastic.
Employees of another big manufact-
uring plant rented a store, stocked 1t
with groceries, bought thru use of the
companys credit and in few weeks
were doing a business Of $4,000 q
day. Only employees of the company
can buy in the store. The price to the
buyer is first cost plus rent, light
clerk hire and freight.

toners at least one representative

There is still one item, however, in
the living cost, from which many
workers in the district can find no re.
lief-that Of high rents. Workmen'a
houses are scarce in every section Of
the district.

Washington, Dec. 27.--"Nams and
age, please"
This is the question that will be
asked in millions Of homes turnout
the United States on Jan. > and dur
ing the twenty-nine succeeding days.
The census man will pop the ques-
ton. and a number OF other Ques-
tons besides. And the people in
Iowa, as we'll as all over the country,
must answer truthfully, or suffer the
consequences, for the law providing
fer taking this, the fourteenth de-
cennial census, provides that any
person eighteen years OF age or over
who wilfully deceives the census
enumerators shall be punished by a
fine Of not exceeding 500.
The census bureau has been get
ting ready for the big task for sew
eral months. Some $1,000 enumer-
ators and 375 supervisors are toeing
the mark and ready for the word
go Under the law the census TAX
ing IS TO begin the second day OF the
new year. II Is to be taken as OF
Jan. l, however. If any person dies
Jan. or any subsequent day before
the census enumerator visits his
home that person is to be counted in
the total population OF the L. S.
even though he is dead. On the other
hand, any baby born Jan. or any
day subsequent thereto misses the
new census and can not be counted
as part of the population OF the
United States under it. The enumer-
aticn must be completed in all cities
of $500 or over within two weeks
and in the towns and rural sections
within thirty days.
Lives Where One sleeps.
In making the enumeration Of the
population each person is to be listed
in the place where he sleeps as a
regular thing, not where he works.
A resident OF Davenport who works
in Rock Island and at the time of the
enumeration is staying temporarily
in the arsenal city or elsewhere, must
be shown as a resident Of Iowa.
However, persons who have no regu
lar place of abode, known TO the CEN
sus enumerators as "foaters," will
be set down as residents OF the
places in which they happen to be on
Jan. |.
The keenest interest attaches TO
the census of population and what it
may show. The development Of the
country as to population Of cities,
the movement to cities from farms,
the immigration and its character,
the amount Of illiteracy in the
United States, the number Of aliens
in the country. all will be watched
closely. Boosters" for various
cities are waiting eagerly for the
census figures to give an additional
FLIP to their arguments for factories
and other industries to come to their
towns. 1t is predicted that the COM
ing census will show population of
between los, 100000 and 0,00O,-
600 in continental United States. In
fact the census bureau has from
time to time figured out the estimat-
ed population, the latest estimate
for July |, 1919-showing the esti-
mated population to be 106, S11, 294.
These estimates are based on per-
centages of increase for various
places in the past

GOVERNMENT HUNTS REDS
All Brands and Breeds of Propaganda
Sought.


Washington, Dec. PA program
for widespread and thorough investi-
cation of Russian propaganda of ev-
cry character in the United States was
outlined today at a conference be-
tween Senator Knox, Pennsylvania;
Senator Kenyon, Iowa and Alfred
Becker, assistant attorney general of
New York.
Senator Knox is a member Of the
foreign relations subcommittee, ap-
pointed to conduct the investigation
provided for in the Kenyon resolution.
Mr.. Becker has been active for sew
eral years in throwing the light upon
German and bolshevistic mach
nations in New York.
The investigation begins immedi-
ately after Jan. l, and is aimed di-
rectly at Ludwig c. X. Martens, SOW
let Ambassador" to the United States,
but it's scope will cover much wider
field.
Under an amendment sponsored by
Senator Borah, Idaho, the committee
will inquire into all other kinds of
Russian propaganda. and will seek
information particularly about Boris
Bahkmetieff, recognized by United
States government as the ambassador
Of the Kerensky government, which
fell shortly after Mr.. Bahkmetieff' s
arrival in Washington.
Members of the committee are anx-
ious to learn about reported payments
Of large sums of money by the United
States government to Mr.. Bahkme-
tieff for the support Of some Russian
anti-bolshevist faction.
There is considerable evidence avail
able, it was stated today, to show that
the bolshevistic movement has been
gaining Roadway in America.

RETURN GAME WITH FAST
WINDSOR FIVE NOW LIKELY

Manager "Pox" BooZ, OF the Audi
torium Five. is now arranging a re
turn game with the Windsor Five, of
Newark. the combination which
played Amboy a tie game several
weeks ago and upon refusing TO play
an extra period forfeited the game
20 to the Auditorium. The manager
of the Windsor Five has been in
communication with the local man
ager and everything at present points
to a return game on "Wednesday
night of next week.
The outcome of the game between
these two teams was a tie and the
visiting team did not claim the game
by one point, as was stated in the
sporting article published with refer
ence to the Riverside game last Fri
day night. The argument arose of
the matter Of whether or not an eN-
ira period should be played. In his
latest communication to the local
manager the Windsor manager says:
December II is satisfactory and |
will bring down exactly the same
team that represented us the last
time we visited your court. AS to
your players being SORT / don't See
why because according to the rules
we are not compelled to play an cx-
ira period on a tie game and my
team was satisfied to forfeit the game
to your team"
