HOW CONGRESSMAN MADDEN
 WOULD TREAT BROTHERS

Philadelphia, Sept. 3.-Congressman Martin D. Madden of Chicago, q mem Der of the commission appointed by congress to investigate the salaries of postmen, criticized protiteers in an ad- dress today at the 22d convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers here.
 He said: "Profteers on the soldier blood should be shot. Profteers on his dependents should be sent to the penitentiary at once. Boycott high priced food"
 MT. Madden declared that legislation to relieve the condition of the postmen had been introduced in congress. but that Postmaster General Burleson op- posed it. It is planned to give postmen $50 a year additional increase.

 We did not go to the other side as crusaders to fight for democracy as the president sometimes says; we went abroad, to prevent the war from com ing to us. We went abroad to save American institutions. to save for ev- cry American his right to live an American life in an American way.
 "Everybody is being put to the test these days. Tn the war 200 900 000 peo- pie were turned out of the ordinary avenues of production. Over 50, 0O0. 900 were engaged in a work of destruction. The result is the world finds itself in abnormal condition.'
