Dissatisfaction

1~ORKMEN are not working
III for starvation wages; IN
fact their wages are'so high and
SO suggestive of riches that they
see wealth just around the cor
ner and are impatient because
they are not getting rich quick
err, says the Washington State
Weekly.
From the agitators they con-
stantly hear stories of men VINO
get fabulously wealthy thru the
war. and many of them are en-
ylous because they had no OPP
portunity to do likewise.
Workmen are positive that all
employers made a great deal OF
money in war times and are rak !.
irq it in hand over fist today.
Naturally they figure that they
n Is
should get busy and get their
snare.
But if they were on the inside
Of the business, in many cases
they would find employers max
ing barely a living profit. With
wages advanced all along the
line, as high in some cases as
LOO per cent, and with the cost
Of materials advanced proper
tionately, profits are not as
great as they appear on the sur
face. aM
OF course workers believe that
this additional cost of produc-
ton is being passed on to the
consumer, and the present pre-
vailing high prices bolster up
| mis- belief. The consumer is get
ting as much of it as he will
| stand, but there are cases where
he won't stand for it-he won't
consume. "a ait4 EsE
| Take the building trades for
instance. People refuse to build
when carpenters demand $40
per day; employers can't pass it

on to the consumer, because the
prospective builder prefers to
rent rather than pay such prices
for a home. ......, ... ..:. 1.
No class of workers can ex-
pect to profit unduly and take it
out of the consumers pocket.
The consumers won't stand for
it. .- -

and other projects. We think
the strength of federal irriga-
ton is underestimate by many
of its friends out here. The war
will be a thing of the past pref

up again, and then we shall see
reclamation of land with federal
assistance undertaken on a scale

-ENTEN REGULATIONS
 MODIFY FASTING BULBS

Members of the Catholic church will nd regulations this year d very great ,hanga. as on account of the inAuen- q epidemic. Catholics in this diocese ave been dispensed from the obliga- ;or of fasting and from abstinence n all days except Fridays. On account the strenuousGess 0f American life, ho fasting jules have tren greatly 7oGilcd of late years in Lent. but this ear the rule of abstinence from meat 5 also dispensed with. However, reatcr spiritual zeal is urge@ to take he place Of the physical mortification, nd an especial appeal iS made for 7tal abstinence from intoxicating iri1E.
 Tine letter from Bishop Milan an louncing this dispensa.ion. tC De read n all the churches Sunday. follows: Episcopal Residence,
 Hartford, Conn.
 February l9, 1919. Dear Father: The violence Of the 'ecent epidemic and its repeated re- ,urrcnce in many of OFT roumuni- -ies has so weakened the general 1ea!th Of our people as to call for recaution against future attacks by proper nouriahmcnt anj consequent trcngthcning of the individual con- titution. In these circumstances we 1oenl it prudent to disrease the peo- >io of this dicSase during the season If Lent from the obligation of fast 1G and from abstinence on all days '~cept Fridays.
 This relaxation from the physical 7ortification should nat lessen but 'ather increase our str4ct observance f this holy season. We urge espe- rially total abstinence from intoxi- 'ating drink, abstentioa from the heatre, q regular attendance at the F.enten devotions and as far as pos tblc assistance at daily mass and he frequent reception of holy com nunion.
 We%give permission for the bene- fiction of the blessed sacrament on II days during Lent III. to Holy Thursday, and we urge tlrat pastors provide as far as possible more ire 7uent Gevotions than ;:sual during this Lent in Crder to obstain the pro 'ection of God during Tha coming wear from pestilence and ether mis- fortunes. and to seek His guidance in the rational and holy use of the peace which Ho has mercifully Vouehsafed ;c us
