Shown in Cost of Living Re
port

Washington-Th bureau of statis
tics of the department of labor in a
report just made public presents an
interesting discussion of the high cost
of living problem for families whose
incomes aggregate from $1,000 to
$500 in the high cost of living sched-
ule of 81 selected cities in all parts
of the United States. A family with
the income indicated expended during
the past IL months an average of 1894
for food In Boston the expenditure
was $579, in Baltimore S547, in New
Orleans $3.50, in Pittsburg $535, in
Philadelphia $533, in Chicago $523, in
Kansas City $514, in San Francisco
$514, in Cincinnati $504 and in St.
Louis $479.
"The average annual expenditure, =
says the report, "for food by all the
families in all the cities listed was
S511. The largest sum, 1924, was spent
in Fall River, Mass, and the smallest
sum, $427, in Savannah, Ga. The
cities having the smaller expenditures
for food are for the most part in the

THE AMERICAN COSSACK

The AMERICAN COSSACh
is it any wonder the workingmen of
the United States dub the state police
of Pennsylvania "Cossacks 2" They
have well merited the name, and it
seems they learned little from eXper-
fence. On Sunday week ago, the day
before the steel strike was called, they
rode roughshod into meetings of
workingmen, peaceful and lawful
meetings, where men were assembled
as they had perfect right to be.
These Officers of the law" sworn
to support the constitution of the
United States, have wantonly and cru
ely violated its most sacred provis-
ions. Employed to keep the peace and
to protect life and property, they have
melted riot, injured life and encour-
aged the destruction of property.
Supposedly the agents of the great
state of Pennsylvania, they are merely
serving the will and purpose of the
great steel manufacturers of that COM
monwealth. Their conduct of Sunday
week ago is objectionable. Such
breeds anarchy as it is commonly un-
derstood by Americans. 1t makes for
radicalism where officials of organized
labor teach moderation. 1t generates
| revolution at time when we are all
busily engaged in heading it off.
The men in the steel mills have a
perfect right to strike for any reason
or for no reason. They have a right
to meet and discuss their grievances; !;
to influence by argument and other
means of peaceful persuasion those
who may not agree with them, and
they should be protected in these
rights so long as they remain within
the bounds of the law
From the time of their creation by
the state legislature, the "Cossacks"
of Pennsylvania have behaved them
selves in every labor strike just as
they did last Sunday a week ago
They don't prevent trouble; the Gre
ate it. They don't serve the state rep
resenting all the people therein; they
are the servants of the capitalistic
interests in the state, and they are US
ed for the sole purpose of trampling
down workingmen who have the cour-
age to stand up against the men and
interests who have made Pennsylvania
synonymous with Prussia.
In view of such experience can the
people of Ohio blame organized labor
for opposing the establishment of 9
state rural police? We don't want
any "Cossacks" in this state of the
kind they have in Pennsylvania We
don't want our police officers remov
ed distantly from the people The clos
er they are kept to the people the
more respect they will have for the
law and its majesty. In any event
they will think a few times before
they become the agents of employers
to shoot down workingmen

Principle of seniority to apply in

Abolition of company unions.
Abolition of physical examination

Every thoughtful American ought
to study these demands.
The list includes nothing that ev-
cry American does not cherish for
himself. 1t is a tabulation of simple
and fundamental rights.
These things are being demanded
by the steel workers in order that
there may be in the steel industry
something of freedom and light and
happiness.
These things are being demanded
because they are now denied.
The steel industry has been bru-

dictatorship. Every American who
understands what America is anc
what America means has stake II
the fight of the steel workers.
When the steel workers win on,
more throne will have been kicked in

ship will be undone.
Something big and vital to Ameri
canism is at stake in this fight. Some
thing too big to be lost by default.

FRANK DISCUSSION

San Diego, Cal.-Speaking at din
ner, President Wilson discussed the
relations of capital and labor.
"When / find man who in pub
lie matter will not state his side of
his case" he said, II know that his
side of the case is the losing side.
that he dare not state it, and at the
heart of most of our industrial diff
culties, my fellow-citizens- and most
of you are witness to this-lies the
unwillingness of men to get together
and talk it over.
"Half of the temper which now ex-
lists between those who perform labor
and those who direct labor is due to
the fact that those who direct labor
won't talk differences over with the
men whom they employ. | am in
every such instance convinced that
they dare not talk it over. Not only
that, but every time the two sides
get together and talk it over together
they come out of the conference in a
different temper from that with which
they went in.
"There is nothing that affects the
attitude of men like really frankly
laying their minds alongside in a fair
and manly and open comparison"
