HIRING ASSISTANTS FOR LABOR.

In Italy the longshoremen who recently struck for more pay have formed a novel method of earning their money, at the same time taking the ease that the moneyed individual requires. The struck and obtained their demand for s6.50 per eight-hour day. Upon receiving the guarantee, they immediately acquired men to work for them at the rate of $2 per day, with naught> but the trouble of supervising the labor for themselves. Thus they converted themselves from workmen to capitalists, as it were. labor has to say to such a plan re- mains to be explained. It certainly seems to defeat the general scheme of labor as it is preached by or ganizers in the United States, although it does accomplish the too-much- besought condition of Hess work, more pay"
 The Iaborer must be common in Italy. if such a thing as the above is possible and we are told that it has been practiced in other cases. There must be many more men than there are jobs. At that rate, though, it is impossible to see how the laborer- employer won the strike in the first place. It is quitting work had nothing but an entirely selfish motive behind it--a motive that no American affiliation

FOOD CONTROL AGAIN.

Y Through the Department of Justice an effort is being made to bring about conditions which existed dur 1ng the war as far as the control and sale of foodstuffs is concerned so that the practices of hoarding and pro- hteering may be discontinued State Food controllers will again resume 3fhelr powers ~and county men will De selected, from former ranks if possible, to aid in the search for il- legal practices on the part of whole sale n1iddlenan or merchant. Grim VI ar Execution will follow any evil M FosN orr an intent to defraud the sSfbIic ard obtain a higher prize for s~food than the condition of the mar ket and the demand justifies. ~>
 Providing that the Department of Justice faithfully performs it's duty. the day of the profitesA is past, It is possible to trace any laJge amounts of foodstuffs, such would const- tute a market it is easy to prove profiteering. Food hoarding is the first step in profiteering on a large scale. By removing from sale a large bulk of a certain commodity a de- mand is created and but a part of the hoarded stuff may be sold at the price that was paid for the whole. The American people do not need to be told that it will pay any price for yI1~o% .s-I.z wants is held in a warehouse until a certain, higher price is reached, we pay, and do it gratefully. It is this characteristic that helps the large manipulator of prices to realize upon his investments.
 The second class of profiteer is the retailer who takes advantage of the shortage created by those ''higher up' or of some natural cause, and adds too great a profit to his retail price. He trades upon the same characteristic as his wholesale partner in crime. He is fully as blam cable.
 As an aid to the Department of Justice the people of the United States have an opportunity to help in lower ing prices by refusing to buy where the charge is few more cents than the market price. Self denial in the use of many things that are too cost ly, even though but a few cents too costly, will do much to "break" the market. We are purchasing a great deal which we do not actually need and paying too much for it. Get along on as little as possible while ! the present prices prevail and, even- tually, things that we think we need < will be available for less than we are now required to pay.
 less than we are now required to pay.
 Should America suddenly develop a policy of thrift to the point of self ]. denial the Department of Justice would not have to hunt the profiteers. The stocks now being held would be sold for less than cost and the grocer would not find it possible to charge a high price. It is time that we got away from the desire for things that are inaccessible and costly and learned to use the things that are handy and cheap.
