The Times, which purposes of its own is personally
conducting presidential boom on behalf of Ambassador
John W. Davis this morning rather prominently pokes
fun at what it calls the candidacy of Senator Howard
Sutherland for the presidency of the United sates Up
to the present there aint such anmue" in spite OF
the fact that Senator Sutherland has been spoken of
almost as extensively and without doubt quite as
sincerely has John W. Davis but the thing that will
attract attention in The Times performance of this
morning is that the only arguments which would make
national convention give heed to the claims of West
Yrgnian next apply with equal force In both
ties. In ridcung the Sutherland talk The Times dis
plays bad judgment as well as bad taste.

ed warrants for the superintendent,
charging perjury What was the re-
suit? One grand jury completely ig-
nored the case and another dismissed
it saying the man didn't perjure him
self, that he was simply mistaken.
How is that for justice? If the men
accused hadn't been able to prove
themselves innocent they might have
had to serve time in prison.
The superintendent referred to had
no motive in swearing as he did
other than revenge because the ac-
cused man refused to work for him.
He is released. While poor Bum"
West, who lied so it is claimed, to
save only himself, must go to prison.

"BUM" WEST
Must Serve Prison Sentence For
Perjury.
WHILE BOSS CHARGED WITH SAME OFFENSE
GOES FREE

William Bum" West, charged with
perjury in connection with the in
junction suit of the Niles -Bement-
Pond company, VS.. Iron Molders
Union No. 68, must serve mis- sentence
in prison, so the court of appeals de-
cided Wednesday. West, it is claimed
testified falsely when he denied that
he struck a man at the time of the
Niles molders strike.
The decision of the court is not
questioned, perhaps the laws read
that way, but what many people cam
not understand, is when is justice be-
ing served when man who perjures
himself to save himself only, by
testifying falsely, must serve time
in prison while man who testifies
falsely to send others to prison is
allowed to go free.
That is the case exactly. Here is
man, poor Bum" West, whose en-
lvironments were never the best, who
really one might say doesn't know
any better, who doesn't think one lie
more or less will hurt any one, es-
pecially if it will save him from pris-
on, tells lie, so it is claimed, to save
himself, must serve three years in
prison, while on the other hand we
have superintendent in one of oul
big shops, who certainly has some
education and knows better and who
goes before the local grand jury anc
swears that he saw several men pres
ent at the time of the trouble at the
Niles plant. These men were indict
ed on this mans testimony. At the
time of the trial this same superin
tendent, under oath, gave the same
testimony that he did before the
grand jury The men accused were
not guilty and proved that they were
| far away from the vicinity of the
Niles plant at the time the trouble
occurred, by the testimony of many
prominent citizens whose word wa:
not to be disputed.
The case against the accused mer
was so lame and thin that Judge
Harlan dismissed them before the enc
of the trial. They Immediately sign.

Five Theatres
Employ Members Of The
Theatrical Stage Employees
Union.

There are just five theatres and
moving picture houses in the city
which employ members of the Theat-
rical Stage Employees Union and are
regarded as strictly union houses.
These are The Jefferson, Jewel, Grand,
Lyric and Eagle Theatres. All other
theatres and moving picture houses
do not employ union men, Union men
should parronize those theatres only,
where union men are employed. To
distinguish the union play houses
from the non-union watch for the
union emblem flashed on screen be-
tween pictures.

The union label seeks to be, by pa
tronage or prescription, the great edu-
Gator of manufactures and consumer,
the trade semaphore Of the one, the
social arbiter of the other. The atti-
tude of its advocates toward defiant
tradesmen is to shun their stores and
invoke public following in the ostra-
cism; but that reprisal will bring
many merchant to his senses, and
that invocation will make as big a
dent in cash account as the hammer
of Thor made in the mountain.

FOOD COSTS
Increase 50 Per Cent In
Five Years.

Boston-The price of food has in
creased 83 per cent from 1913 to
November, last year, reports the ma
tional industrial conference board in
9 pamphlet entitled "War Time
Changes in the Cost of Living" The
board represents a score of manu-
facturers' associations.
The board states that during the
war clothing has increased n per cent
and woolens 100 per cent. In cottons
percales showed the most striking av-
erage increases, 264.4 per cent. Over
alls at rs cents in 1914 averaged $2.14
in November, 1918, and mems shoes
that sold for $3.50 in 1914 cost $5 and
Sc in November, 1918.
The board has prepared clothing
budget for men and women-wage
earners, of course-as no attempt is
made to tabulate the needs of other
classes.
In 1914 the cost Of the mans budget
would be $3.50 and in 1918 this in
creased to $11l.70, or 90.3 per cent.
In 1914 the cost of the woman's bud
get would be $5815, and in 1918 this
cost increased to $109.4o, or 88.1 per
cent.
Anthracite coal advanced 43.9 per
cent between 1914 and 1918, and BIZ
luminous coal for household use in
creased 59.3 per cent.

BREWERIES
Change To Milk Depots
Will Make Ice Cream.

Milk and cream will fill some of the
empty vats in breweries of Pennsyl-
vania and other States, according to
reports received by the Department
of Labor. In place of bottled beer,
bottled milk will be sent out and ice
cream will be produced instead of
foaming ale.
In the course of the nation wide
survey now being made by the de-
partment, through the division of
public works and construction devel-
opment of its Information and Edu-
cation Service, interesting facts have
been brought out concerning altera-
tions contemplated for brewery plants
whose regular occupation has been
legislated out of existence These
plants as usual thing are vel. equip
ped and centrally located. They rep
resent large investment in building
and machinery and in the readjust-
ments following the war they can
be easily utilized for peace-time in
dustries.
In Pennsylvania, where remodeling
plans appear to have begun without
delay, brewery viii soon manufac-
hlre wholesale quantities of ice cream.

That the Carpenters and Joiners To-

bounds is evidenced by the fact that
even after purchasing 100 additional
folding chairs many present at the

Council hall No. l, the largest of
councils four halls, but it is plain if
every member who desires to attend

A great deal of routine business
was transacted at the meeting and
several special matters of Importance
discussed Five candidates were ini-
tiated, number of applications were
read and twelve members were added
to the roster on clearance cards. Never
was the outlook for the season bright
