The Inca of Peru.
springfield Reporter. J

Marshall j. Hapgood, the Inca of Peru,
has broken his long silence to discourse
in the public prints on the Brattieboro
Sunday baseball imbrogho and rather cen-
sures the weakened way in which the
ministers backed out of the position they
had taken when they found that they had
started more than they intended to.
The clergys unwillingness to brave pub
lie criticism, cast popularity to the winds
and count it well lost in a good cause
would lead one to infer that they are not
of the same stern stuff of which the early
martyrs were made, and their strategic
retreat to a safe position behind the legis-
lature, moves Mr.. Hapgood to remark
SELF interest or desire to please should
have no bearing whatever, and the min
listers, even should disfavor such course.
But word to all concerned Let the
ministry consider it as their chief duty
to foster and build up the general inter-
ests of the community, and be bold and
fearless about it. Due respect for laws
should be their chief aim, and when the
law officials shrink or neglect thew should
be rushed. Let the ball game boys. as
well as the people at large, look upon Sur-
| day as true day of rest, when cessation
| of labor. quiet intercourse with neighbcrs,
| and gatherings where soul-stirring mrsic
and uplifting talks will be the order Of

Those Pesky Trucks.
Burlington News.l

In Massachusetts automobile trucks are
required to carry mirrors on their ma
chimes so that they can watch the road
Hehind them as well as in front of them
The reason for this is that the lumber
ing trucks make so much noise that the
drivers cannot hear the clamor of the
horns on machines behind them and ride
for miles blissfully unconscious of the
wrathful drivers behind them who object
70 trailing along at the snairsf pace al
which the average truck proceeds.
This would seem to be good idea anc
one which might be tried out universally
with good results Motor trucks are go
ing to increase very rapidly in number
and regulations to govern them must o.
necessity appear if the rights OF Other
drivers are to be conserved.
This particular plan works no hardship
on motor truck transportation and en-
ables drivers of smaller machines to pass
on narrow roads without sending mes
senger forward to ask the truckdriver Il
swing out

Eat
More Bread

Since 1913, the price of wheat has
advanced 157 per cent. At the same
time -four has advanced 1877 per cent
and bread rs per cent. An analysis
of the principal foodstuffs will show
the same relative advance percentage
of the finished products, semi finished
products as compared with the raw ma
terial As the high state of finished
products is approached, the percent
age of advance decreases as compared
with the material.
That cheap bread does not bring
about other cheap foods is shown by
the cheap bread in Europe which has
been made possible for three or four
years by the government substituting
bakers and millers. Bread in those
countries has always been on pre- war
basis and has not affected the high
price of other commodities.
Now as we see it. if the people could
get as much out of the dollar spent for
other necessities as they get out of the
dollar spent for flour, there would be no
complaint of the High Cost of Living.
Prices for flour and bread have not
kept pace with the advancing market.
The best and cheapest food obtainable
today is BREAD.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER II, 1919.
LOOKS IRREcoNcuABLE.

The industrial conference in Wash
ington called by President Wilson has
completed its first week of meetings
with only the presentation of PROPOSE
week S work as a perusal of the volume
of recommendations will show. We
fear it has also revealed that the con-
ference is facing an impossible task.
1t has adopted the rule that, all recon-
mendations of the conference must
have the unanimous vote of the sec
tions representing capital, labor and the
public the vote of the section to be
determined by majority vote of the
members of that section. The prospect
of unanimous vote on several vital
propositions is very poor.
The labor section has reported eleven
fundamental propositions and the cap
ital section reports twelve. The labor
section declares in favor of collective
bargaining, capital openly opposes 1t.
Where the public section stands on
this question has not been made known.
Capital declares its opposition to the
closed shop, labor and the public have
not expressed themselves. Capital con
dennis sympathetic strikes. black lists
and boycotts and again labor and the
public are silent, but capital does not
deny the right of employees of private
industry to strike ''after all possible
means of adjustment have been ex
hausted" Capital would have the
state impose such regulations that con
tinued operation of public utilities
would be assured. and would not allow
government employees the right t
| strike. Neither labor or the publ,
have touched on these questions bu
the attitude of Mr.. Gompers and MI
Plumb before the congressional commit
tee indicates that labor would neve
approve.
There is greater possibility of una
nimity on some form of arbitration o
labor disputes. Proposals have bee
| offered by one of the public delegate
/ for an industrial truce for thre
months, by Samuel Gompers for suspen
sion of the steel strike pending arbitra
ton, by another public delegate for
national board of Cancellation and b
90 inip
i boards of employees and employers i
each industry and the right to appes
irreconcilable disputes to geners
board appointed by the President. Car
| ital also in the case of public utilit
employees would provide ample mean
for the prompt hearing and adjust
ment of complaints and disputes an
in the case of government employe
would have their right to be hear
and secure redress amply safeguards
All of these propositions mean arbitrs
ton but no uniform system of arbitr;
ton has yet been determined.
At this time it looks as though SON
form of arbitration might be agree
upon but on the great question of co
lective bargaining, closed Iiops an
similar differences the positions of I'll
different groups seem irreconcilabl
The conference may develop such a di
cussion of these principles that I'll
