It's hn /wfu tusse that our political ageaS

ha. set itself to do. 1t Is plainly evident that
government should have cross OF some Kind
pinned on It's bosom for Its courage-loavlng
Judgment entirely out Of tho oase.
From the broad. Humanitarian aspect you
have no right 10 lay In either fuel or food to
meet your future demands. The ant and the
bee does and there was time when you were
told to emulate both the ant and the bee But
that Is no longer vogue There Is not enough
sugar and coal to 10 around, Therefore you
must live from day to day, But It's human ma
ture for you to take advantage Of The general
sltuaton---lf you can.
Again: II you find yourself with n supply OF
coal or sugar In excess Of your own needs. and
there's n crowd out front elamorng for both.
you are very apt. unless you are sprouting
wings to ask the assembled host to engage In
n little open competition for the things you
have It's wrong To be sure Hut its human

II ybur services are In demand by two or more
employers tho chances are a hundred to one
that you will play them off against zach other
lust as far M you dare It's immoral. But It's
human nature,
The oil rcfncrs we're storing fuel oil at the
same time the squirrels were storing nuts and
the bees honey. Puci oil at the time wasn't
profitable. because It's difficult to think about
the requirements Of zero weather when the mcr-
curry Ia standing at "A hundred fiat
with cold weather and a decline In coal pro
duction the refiners began asking the folks out
front who were clamoring for their product TO
engage In n little open competition. The gov
ernmept says IT'S wrong and forbds It. Prob
ably the governments right. too, But the re-
flners wcro simply reacting to the primitive In
stincts OF the cave man
90 after all there Is absolutely nothing wrong
with the physical world, IT'S the mental atti-
tude with respect to physical things that create
all the problems and cause us to beat our heads
against the bars.
II It were possible to change human nature
In tho mass Just trifle the whole world could
be set right over night For there isn't thing
wrong with the word--its tho people that are
In It.
But government certainly deserves decorations
for tho courage It shows In jousting tho wind

DEMAND UNION
ABIDE BY AWARD
War Labor Board Issues an
Order to the Paper
Makers
UNION CLAIMS WAR
ENDED ON NOV. II
And, Therefore, the Work
ers Felt Free to Make
New Demand

Washington, May l2--The war labor
board prepared telegram to-day to the
officers of the International Association
Of Mill, Pulp and Sulphite Workers, de-
manding that the union abide by the
boards award, which is effective until
the end of the war. This action resulted
from strike of employees of the Inter
national Paper company at Glens Falls,
N. Y, who demand increased wages.
The union has claimed that the war
ended Nov. IL, and has announced that
the workers were free to seek increased
wages and improved working conditions.
The war labor board takes the position
that the war is not over until the treaty
of peace is ratified and that the action of
the union practically repudiates their
agreement. The award was made by the
board in conjunction with the federal
trade commission, which investigates
production costs and established price
for print paper and similar products on
the basis of the wages and costs
They refused an offer made by the In
ternational Paper company Of approx
imately 10 per cent increase in wages in
new working agreement which was to
go into effect yesterday.
