J. Edward Stiltz of the Kiefer

Morgan of the Oliver Chilled Plow
works, South Bend, were the two
SPEAKERS at the afternoon session.
which was attended by about $50
men and women. Following each of
the papers, J. III. TregOe, secretary
treasurer of the national association,
led a discussion on the subjects pre-
scnted, in which many Of those pres
ent took part.
Mr. Stiltz during his address spoke
as follows:
The mighty conflict which has
been waged for a period of as
months. and which is without paral-
lei in the annals of history, has
created conditions which are without
precedent.

found us totally unprepared for such
an event, which Immediately gave
rise TO three important necessities.
First, the withdrawal of several
millions of men from their accus-

Try. Second their adequate provi-

equipment. Third the availability
Of funds for the conduct of the war
Wages Increase.
There Immediately followed a
great shortage OF labor. and, this
coupled with an immense demand
for workers caused an upward trend
of wages; at the same time the un-
precedented DEMAND for fOOdstuffs
and manufactured products led to
advanced prices Of all commodities.
and out of this situation grew the
apparent necessity for the govern
ment control of prices and utilities

conditions would have been consider

WHERE THERE'S A WILL

He can cling to the bubble called

His great reputation will thrive
And people will honor his name.
But nine out of every ten
Their robes OF distinction will

For folks find them out when their
wills get about
A month or two after they're dead.

His countrymen reverenced Jones,
