assistance to the soldiers and sailors
in the matter Of arrears of pay
helping secure final payment OF al
lotnents and allowances, and advis-
ing as to conversion of Insurance. In
a few cases, delayed bonuses have
been applied for, and additional
travel pay secured. Delivery of Lib
erty Bonds bought by soldiers has
also been one of our appreciated
services.
Financial relief has been given ia
two people: one, a colored soldier
was on furlough from Camp Upton
and because of miscalculation .o1
routing, did not have money enough
to get back to camp. He came dt
rectly to the Home Service office, and
told his troubles, and after a con-
ference with Mr.. Cochran, Chairman
of Civilian Relief Committee RED
Cross, and wire to the Red Cross
Field Director at Camp Upton, be
was loaned transportation back to
New York.
The other was the case of color
ed woman who wanted to keep up
her sons insurance after discharge,
and asked for help until she could
sell her cotton in the fall. This wo-
man was given this kind of aid only
after due consideration of the effects
of precedence, and probable loss to
the Chapter. Helping this way is
but carrying out the policy of the
Red Cross to give such aid as will
enable the Home Service Section to
help the family in the most adequate
way to raise the standard of living.
The Home Service Section has sc
families in which there is opportun-
ity for doing a great deal of good.
Volunteer visitors are necessary to
do this work.

and no other members Of the RED
Cross have taken any interest at al
in this department. -
The office has. been open every
day during the month-except Sun
days of course. The rooms have been
nicely kept by our small janitor,
Haley Coggins., We have only one
untidy spot on the premises, and that
is a pile Of trash which partly accu-
mulated before we came into the Of
fee, and which we have not been
able to get the trash wagon to haul
away, although we have made re-
peated requests of Supt. McCombs.
Our county map is also incomplete,
through no. fault of ours, as we have
been unable to get Supervisor Stew
enson to tell US the boundary lines
of the various townships.
The greatest need of the Office to
successfully carry on the work Of
Home Service is a way to get about.
There are a number of cases, in the
county that should be visited, and to
whom the best service cannot be CIV

the office. It is certain that later on

wants done. OF course we believe
all he wants is a wife, but until he
finds the right girl, who will help us
take care of his mending and darn
ing? This work may be taken home
or done in the Home Service Office,
and presents a fine opportunity for
service for girls or young women
who are good needle workers.
The other case will have to be
done by railroad conductors and trav-

THE LABOR SITUATION.

There may be general strike on
the railway lines in the United States
within the next month. 1t is to be
hoped that the members Of the rail
way labor unions will put faith in
the words of President Wilson, who
tells them that now is not the time
for raising wages, but time to in
trench. The leaders in Washington
saw fit to reject the proposal OF the
administration. We hope that the
men as a whole will respond to Will
sons appeal.
Americans of all classes are impa-
tient of delay. What we want, VIC
want now. Better living conditions
are sought by the labor unions. This
is to be done either by raising wages
or cutting the cost of living. The
result is the same, but the result
must be obtained instanter.
Awaiting policy right now, we be-
lieve, would solve the difficulty. Give
production time to make showing
to affect the law of supply and de-
mand.
On the other hand we wonder
whether more wages is all that labor
wants. The soviet system with all
- thaumaturgic possibilities has
become an insidious and sinister
idea that temps. 1t lured Russia on
to it's ruin. But child or man can
only learn by experience.
Labor is. strong; its influence is
potent and is felt in the councils of
the land. But it must function thru
secondary channels. The Plumb
plan would give direct control. The
pomp and glory and pageantry OF
power would be the laboring mans.
It sounds too good to pass up.
If there is a strike there is a con-
sideration which should appeal to ev-
cry man, whether he be a member
of a labor union or not-the law of
the land.
The union member or any other
wage Garner has legal right to
strike. Furthermore, any man has
the right to work. If men leave
their jobs and other men are secured
to fill their places there is no legal
or moral right that force be used to
keep these ,strike-breakers from
working.
We earnestly hope there will be
no,strike. We do not believe in that
method. 1t is not fair to the rest Of
mankind. Arbitration should be
used to settle difficulties between en-
ployer and employees. +''

REPORT OF THE HOME SERVICE
SECTION FOR MONTH OF JUNE

During the month of June, 1875
people visited the Home Service Sec
ton office; of this number CT have
been eligible and have received some
sort of Home Service.
A considerable increase is shown
in the number applying for service
other than information: Last month
the report stood II for service, and
49 for information only. This month
the order is reversed and is Al for
service, and % for information only.
This is very gratifying to the Sec
retary, as the Section is intended to
provide a definite service, and the
fact that people are applying for
the service voluntarily, shows that
the section is fulfilling its purpose,
and that no mistake has been made
in establishing this important part of
Red Gross work in Abbevlle.
Up-to-date the Office has filed the
records of 143 soldiers and sailors,
to whom the Home Service Section
stands ready to give every possible
assistance, in every possible wya, at
every possible time:

sue, the "high=price" issue? Either
the ratification or the decentralization
of the League Of Nations covenant
will mean that the economic side of
the agreement is to be a matter OF
controversy for years to come-par-
ticularly as the full extent Of the pro-
posed drafts OF Europe upon Ameri-
can resources are revealed to the pub
lie. For a long time Europe is TO
need raw materials from US and they
must be paid for by our own people.
Long-term credits are the only basis
on which Europe can buy them. Which
means imitation and continuous sup
port to high-price levels.
The other side OF the picture is this:
American industry is going to have
huge demands for its products for
years to come, labor is to be in demand
and wages high, the farmer is to get
high prices inevitably as he tills in
ferior soils to keep up his present high
production. On the production side
the outlook in the United States is
roseate. On the consumption side It
is dangerous.
Radicallsm Expected.
One does not have to talk in terms
of revolution to get at the facts. Into
the campaign of 1920 there is to be
projected a good deal Of radicalism,
which will renovate American poll
tics from center to circumference.
There is ample evidence that astute
politicians in Washington realize this
fact and are prepared to act accord
ingly. In the next twelve months some
sensational political history will be
written.
