been little more thar a slave If this
victory had not been won? Have
you stopped to think that thousands
OF men-big, strong, able-todied men
have gladly died on the battlefield
to give you the blessing Of peace
and victory? They gave everything
life, home, loved ones. Do you re-
ali2e that there arc thousands Of
mothers and sisters in our country
who are broken-hearted today because
they have lost their loved ones, but
who proudly gave their sons and
husbands to protect you and yours
and bring victory?
How, then, are you showing your
appreciation? Are you holding your
War Savings Stamps and Liberty
Bonds? Are you saving your money
and lending 1t to your Government
through the purchase of 1919 War
Savings Stamps In order that the
victory bill may be paid and the
boys brought home?

Is cashed that much money is drawn
directly out Of the United States

POLICY OF REAL LABOR.

The policy of the real leaders of
American labor. as evidenced at the
meeting at Atlantic Guy. is: Keep
what you have secured of economic
and personal freedom. and add on to
il when you can"
In Russia labor had little enough
of freedom, but the labor interests
there, which usually cannot read a
word of any language, appear to have
wrecked that little in grasping for
everything which belonged to them
selves and everything that belonged
10 others, as well.
No journey of consequence is made
at one jump. The man who reaches
for everything in sight generally gets
nothing The processes of the world
are by the slow. well-buttressed steps
of evolution. Red revolution destroys
the base from which another start
may be made.
In opposition to this view. one may
point to the French revolution. But

AIMS To FORCE
WAR DEPARTMENT
To LET MEAT co

SPECIAL CONSEQUENCES TO MORNING JOURNAL
Washington, July 6.--The special
investigation into the high cost of liv>
ing will be one of the features of the
house inquiry into the conduct of the
war. 1t will be made by the sub-com-
mittees having jurisdiction over con-
tracts entered into by the quartermas-
ter corps. Representative Reavis of
Nebraska is chairman of this sub
committee.
Mr.. Reavis said the investigation
into this meat and foodstuffs situation
would antedate the general investi-
CATION and that mass of data relat-
ing TO it had already been obtained.
He referred to the fact that it was
estimated that from 10000, 900 to 5O,-
000, 900 pounds of surplus meat prod
ucts we're now in the hands of the
quartermaster's department. that this
meat was constantly deteriorating and
that in view of the present excessive
cost of living the general public ought
to have access to so tremendous sup
ply.
He pointed out that the war de-
partment repreSe nted it could not get
bids from any hut the packers who are
bidding n cents a pound for supplies
that they sold to the government at
from 40 to 46 cents.
They are offering these supplies in
$4,000 pound lots said Mr.. ReaviJ,
which makes it an impracticable
proposition for the thousands of deal
ers who would be glad to bid In small
er lots and put the supplies into the
regular channels of trade.
1T is perfectly idle and silly to say
that millions of hams and enormous
quantities of bacon cannot be sold at
little less than the market price. My
purpose in starting this investigation
Is to force these products on the mar
ket with as little loss to the govern
ment as possible"
