FOUR MILLION ARE
DESTITUTE IN POLAND

WARSAW. Poland. Aug. Pit is
estimated that there are 100000 des-
titute persons in Poland, including
100000 mothers and children For
five years the struggling armies OF
Russia and the Central Powers swept
back and forth over the country.
Thousands Of houses and buildings
were destroyed.
Now that peace has settled upon
the rest Of the world, Poland Is still
engaged in frontier warfare. From
the Baltic to the Carpathians, on
front three times the length of the
former western one, the Poles are
modified. Even women and girls are
performing military service, not as
their French and American sisters
were in hospitals and ambulances, but
on the firing line with rifles in their
hands
Despite these conditions, the new
Polish government is making deter
mined effort to care for it's civilians,
with the assistance Of allied relief
agencies. The American Red Cross
has already sent to Poland a dozen
trainloads of supplies, clothing. medi-
cines, and children's food What this
has meant to the new republic Is sum-
med up in the statement of g. Polish
Cross workers:
You are saving a race which has
struggled for independence for hun
dreds OF years, and are winning their
everlasting gratitude and friendship"

Canadian Workmen Lose
$1,000, 900 In Strikes
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Aug. $50 many refugees
workingmen lost 100000 in wages in
June and slightly more than half that
amount in the preceding month, &C
cording to estimates.
The Winnipeg strike alone cost the
workmen several million dollars.
Board of trade officials believe the
economic loss to merchants, manufac-
turers and the public was at least 100
per cent more than the labor loss.
In June, the eighty strikes in Can
ada involved s7.e17 men, women and
children. The official estimate shows
loss Of about $1.445,021 working
days. The average wage involved IN
the Winnipeg strike was about IS
day.
In May there we're S4 strikes in
volving 1858 workers. who lost $685..

Penalties for Rioters

Chicago newspapers are demanding punish
rnent of the who instigated race rlots there
Says the Tribune editorially:
The Chicago public will demand of Mr.. Hoyne,
acting for Chicago, and Attorney General Brun-
dage for the state, that they establish by swift
and just prosecution the iniquity of knocking the
common will to good conduct There may be
among certain individuals disregard for decent
behavior, but it must be impressed upon them
that there cannot be disregard for consequences.
The law cannot prevent the individual from COM
hitting crime, but it prevent his repeating
the offense and make that offense extremely dis
tasteful to others similarly disposed.
The public will not be content with light fines
and mild workhouse sentences for those guilty
of bringing shame upon the city and inviting a
lapse of order. The majority does not propose to
permit few lawless individuals to upset and vio-
late the ethical standards maintained by studious
department.
Mob action is not merely an insolent disre-
gard of the police but direct affront to the great
majority whose authority is symbollzed by the
police. A few policemen may be unequal to the
sudden stress, but the majority which they SYM
bolize will be entirely adequate to enforce its will
The majority's answer will be-must be-relent-
less and unforgettable.
1t must be the business of Mr.. Hoyne and Mr..
Drundage to prosecute vigorously and to see that
punishments are inflicted of such stern nature
as to advertise to the world that while order may
lapse in Chicago in any other city such a lapse
entails immediate and rigid penalty.
There must be no nominal punishments. The
penitentiary must close on the guilty. The law
must be memorable, else shall have done little
to remove the blot on our 'scutcheon

SPOILED Melons and Profiteering

A housewife in large Ohio city asked her
neighborhood grocer the price of half water
melon. "Seventy-five cents" he told her. "Oh,
I'd never pay that" she replied. 'Wel you could
stand it," he retorted. Money is plenty" To
which the housewife replied: THAT may be- but
I have moral scruples about paying such price"
In this same city, on the same day, nineteen
carloads of watermelons were thrown on a dump
for the flies to eat. These melons had been con-
signed originally to Cleveland but because of fear
that they might break the market cent or two
they had been turned away and sent to Buffalo,
On reaching Buffalo, they had been rejected
again for the same reason. The insufferaby
high market price must be maintained at all
costs. Then the nineteen of melons wendell
their way to Pittsburgh, to be turned away again.
Back to Cleveland they were sent, and by this
time the shipment had spoiled.
Who will pay the freight these melons for
the course of their wanderings? Does anyone
believe that the consumers will be allowed to
escape?
This incident illustrates the downright GRIM
inality of the profiteers, who prefer throwing
away food that is desperately needed, rather than
allow plentiful supply to lower prices. 1t is a
matter of general knowledge that surplus foods
that cannot be put away indefinitely in cold stor-
age warehouses being destroyed allowed
to rot.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-08-02

The most pressing issue in America today is
the cost of living. The league of nations is of
the most remote, academic interest, in the mind
of the householder, in comparison with the prob
lem of shaking off the strangle-hold of the pro-
fiteer in life's 'plainest necessities. The prob
lem must be solved in some way. Wages have
gone up because of the need of the workers fam
lily to eat If they go up indefinitely, the indus
trial fabric will crack.
The place to arrest the whole vicious tendency
toward further initiation is in the traffic in food
stuffs. The attorney general of Ohio has called
for grand jury Investigations in all counties. He
will endeavor to make the movement nationwide.
Now we have opportunity for of real
power and genius. Have we the men?
