were out getting a breath of air. They
were not dangerous. but terrible look
ing. Their faces each bore the evident
marks of mental infirmity. One man
had weird grin, another horrid
frown, still another fierce, panied ex-
preston, while yet one bore a look in
his eye that was something one seldom
sees. He looked like he was ready to
break away from the guard, leap at
you. then, with that strange intuition
insane men have, look back at the
guard, then back again and the other
sight. There was no necessity for any
one to tell their tales of sorrow. Their
faces did that. 1t was a terrifying pic

out happiness, without anything to
recommend it, and leaving only mem
DRY of regret that we had seen it. The
location of the institution on a great

AREN0T SLAVES
Labor Conference Asserts Work.
ers Have Right to Quit for
Any opNe Reason. .

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-"Workers
are free citizens, not slaves" was one
of the declarations of the conference
city, December 13.
1.-The workers have the constitu-
tional right to cease working. The
strike is a protest against autocratfc
management. To penalize strikes or
to make them unlawful is to apply an
unwarrantable and destructive method
when a constructive one is available.
To reduce the necessity for strikes,
the cause should be found and re-
moved. The government has a greater
obligation in this matter than to use
its coercive powers.
''Legislation which proposes to make
strikes unlawful or to compel the wage
earners to submit their grievances or
aspirations to courts or to go to gov
ernmental agencies. is an invasion of
the rights of the wage earners, and
when enforced makes for industrial
serfdom Or slavery.
I'VE hold that the government
should supply information, assistance
and counsel, but that it should not
attempt by the force of its own power
to stifle or to destroy voluntary rela-
tions and policies Of mutually between
employers and employees.
I'VE specifically denounce the anti
strike provisions Of the Cummins bill
and all other similar proposed legis-
lation as un-American as being vicious
in character and establishing by lesis-
lation involuntary servitude.'

our taxes are most reasonable now,

PAL R EXPECTS
TO make WAR ON.
CL0THINCPR|CE
Attorney General Believes He
Has Found Plan to Get Cheaper
Clothing for People.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.-
The Department Of Justice having
made what it considers a start toward
the reduction Of mounting food prices
by breaking up the packer food mon
opoly, is now turning its attention to
the clothing problem, which also bears
heavily on the public.
It was announced yesterday that this
subject would be taken up at confer
ence to be held here in January. An
effort will then be made to make the
process Of getting garments from the
producer to the consumer a less costly
one. In addition to seeking to effect
economies in operation, it is planned
to provide for the production of stand
ard quality cloth and garments at rea-
sonable prices. The producers Of wear
ing apparel suggested the conference,
and a committee of II is being chosen
to represent them at the conference.
One Of the plans proposed for bring
ing about the desired result is the de-
voting Of certain plants to the turning
out solely Of standard clothing
the sort which is needed by the aver
age person, assistant Attorney General
Figg, in charge of the conference, ex-
planned. There is no intention of de-
signing a uniform, and the idea
would be to have the goods standard
in quality rather than in pattern.
It is proposed by the National Re-
tail Dry Goods Dealers, to the Depart
ment Of Justice, that economy
departments be established to call
the customers attention to the fact
that there is possibility Of getting
goods Of excellent quality short of ex-
horbitant prices. The economy sales
plan was not favored. as the govern
nent does not wish to participate ii q
campaign to stimulate sales of articles
and materials which are not needed.
