Council Of National Defense Is.
sues Stirring Appeal to
American People.

The United States Council of Ma
tional Defense has this week issued
a statement concerning the high cost
Of living. The council is composed of
Newton T. Baker, secretary Of war,
chairman; Josepus Daniels, secretary
of the navy; Franklin K. Lane, Sec
retary Of the interior, D. r. Houstan,
secretary of agriculture; William c.
Redfield, secretary of commerce; W.
B. Wilson, secretary of labor and G.
B. Clarkson, director. All of the men,
bers have signed the statement which
is as follows:-
The United States Council Of Ma
tional Defense, has made careful in
vestigation Of the high-cost- of-living
problem, and finds:
That the nations productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized since
the armistice.
That too few goods, notably the ne
cessities of life. have been produced,
and that even some of these goods
have been withheld from the market,
and therefore from the people.
That the high cost Of living is due
in part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit.
That there has been and is con-
siderable profiteering, Intentional and
unintentional.
The council believes that the rem
edies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to pro-
duce the min proportion to the needs
Of the people.
=. To stamp out profiteering and stop
unnecessary hoarding. = '>i-'', ,~
To enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
new laws as are necessary to prevent
and punish profiteering and needless
boarding.
To bring about better cooperation
and method in distributing and mar
! keting goods.
To keep both producer and con-
| sumner fully informed as to what goods
| are needed and as to what supplies
are available. so that production may
anticipate the country's demands.
/ Goods and not money are the means
of life. Better standards of living are
impossible without producing more
goods. Man can not consume what
has not been produced.
Our common duty now, fully as
much as in the war. is to work and
to save. In the words of the Presi-
dent in his address to the country on
August Is. 1919, only "by increasing
production, and by rigid economy and
saving on the part Of the people, can
| we hope for large decreases in the
burdensome cost of living which now
weighs us down."
| Work, save, cooperate, produce.

STEEL WORKERS
STRIKELESS0N .
0uNI0N LABOR
Basil N. Man|ey Points Out I'm.
Dortance Of Political hc- =.
tion in Winning Strikes.

If any worker ever had any doubts
as to the importance Of taking an ac-
tive interest in politics and electing
men who would be absolutely fair to
the interests of labor, he need only
study the great steel strike. to learn
a lesson which he will never forget"
declared Basil M. Manley, former joint
chairman of the National War Labor
Board, discussing the strike and. the
part played in it by the officers Of
the law.
1.-THE great lesson Of the steel
strike," continued Mr. Manley, sis
that wherever the state and municipal
officials have dealt fairly with labor
the strike has been success, but
wherever, the public officials have
made themselves the tools of the steel
trust thousands of workers have been
intirnidated into remaining at work.
Under the tyranny Of the state con-
stabulary. and the special deputies
and armed guards of the steel trust,
they have been coerced into remain
ing at work even under such revolving
conditions as the 12-hour day and the
seven-day week. against which every
body knows even the most submissive
worker would protest if he dared.
"The bald facts of the steel strike
are that during all the preceding years
the, steel trust has realized the i'm
portance of electing public officials
who would do its bidding, while la
bor has not had either the intelli-
gence or the interest to elect officials
who would give them square deal.
= 1.-The same workingmen: who are to-
day being clubbed and shot down by
the Pennsylvania state consta bulary
have year after year cast their ballots
for the political tools Of the steel trust
They have done this on the theory
that politics was of no interest to the
workingman, SO why not be good
fellow and vote the ticket which will
please the precinct leader.
"The steel trust never voted the ball
lots which it controlled to prease the
precinct leader, but instead saw to it
that the precinct leader and the high
er-ups Of the political machines
pleased the steel trust by naming its
candidates on the party ticket.
1T made no difference which of
the party tickets the workers voted
for because the steel trust had al
ready been foxy enough and farsee-
ing enuogh to control the political
machine of both parties and name
its candidates on both party tickets.
After the tickets were framed up it
made no difference to the steel trust
whether the workers voted for the
Democratic candidates or the Repub-
lican candidates."

Opponents Of Seamen's Act
Seek to Have Teeth Ex-
traCted From Measure

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-An attempt
to weaken the seamen's law is again
being made by enemies of this pro-
gressive legislation, who want the ap-
premiership period for an able sea-
man reduced from three years to six
months at sea and six weeks in a
training school, and reduce the num-
ber Of competent seamen on a vessel
from 65 per cent Of it's crew to 40
per cent.
Congressman Rowe has introduced
these amendments in the house of
representatives and they have been re-
ferred to the United States shipping
board for an opinion. The board re-
ferred the matter to a committee
which included its members, vessel
owners and President Furuseth of the
International Seamen's union and
President Brown of the Marine Engi-
neers' Benevolent association. The
committee held meeting in this city
and the shipping board and vessel
owners representatives favored the
amendments and the trade unionists
| opposed them.
"Is the terrible Titanic disaster for
gotten?" asked President Furuseth, in
declaring that the workers will fight
the amendments every inch of the
way.
The people back Of this bill," ne
said, "are the same ones who, in one
