/ Food Near Top Notch

Washington-Ret prices for food
in the United States during the month
of April were within 3 per cent of
the highest point reached, which was
in December of last year, according
to statement issued by the bureau
of labor statistics of the department
of labor.
Householders were forced to meet
an increase of 7 per cent in the price
of butter; 6 per cent in the price OF
lard; per cent in the price of cheese
and / per cent in the prices of oleo-
margarine and crisco. Both fresh and
evaporated milk were 2 per cent
cheaper in April than in March.
Of the really basic food commodi-
ties, flour for the whole United States
advanced in price per cent. Pork
chops advanced in price per cent
during the month; sirloin steak, hens
and lamb increased 5 per cent each;
rib roast, chuck roast and bacon adj
vanced per cent each; ham and
round steak increased per cent each
and plate beef 2 per cent.
Other articles which increased dur
ing April were: Cabbage, 72 per cent;
onions, Is per cent; potatoes, 7 per
cent; prunes, per cent; oranges, 4
per cent; bananas, 3 per cent, and
meal, eggs and coffee, 3 per cent each.
In April, 1919, the cost of % arti-
.cles of food was 18 per cent higher
than in April, 1918, and 85 per cent
higher than in April, 1913.

SAYS NEW LAW LEADS

St. Louis, Mo.-In an address to the
central trades and labor union Presi-
dent Wood, of the Missouri state fed
Grafton of labor, declared that the
compensation law passed by the last
Legislature is the third best compensa-
tion law in this country.
The unionist explained that where
an employe is forced to go to court
delayed payment draws 6 per cent in
terest. This, it is believed, will make
court procedure unattractive to en-
ployers. The waiting period for in
jured employees, is one week, and he
secures this one weeks pay if he is
kept from his employment for six
weeks.
The fight for this legislation has
been long one and it's successful
ending has finally placed Missouri in
the front rank of compensation law
states.

Will 1t Be Upheld?
CHILD LABOR TAX LAW is NOT
UNDERSTOOD
Secretary LovejOy of National Child
Labor Committee Thinks u. S.
Supreme Court Will Reverse
Judge BOyd's Decision

New York - The child labor tax
law, which was recently declared un-
constitutional by Federal Judge Boyd
of the western district of North
Carolina, is misunderstood by the
public, says Owen R. Lovejoy, general
SECRETARY of the national child labor
committee. This law, which was an
amendment to the revenue act, pro-
vides for a 10 per cent tax on the
profits of establishments employing
child labor, regardless of whether
these products are placed in inter-
state commerce or not. The Heating
child labor law, which was also de-
clared unconstitutional by Judge
Boyd, and which was upheld by the
United States supreme court, only ap-
piled to products of child labor placed
in interstate commerce.
The confusion about the basis of
the child labor tax law, according to
Secretary Lovejoy, is because the age
limit at which children can be en-
ployed is the same in both laws, which
provide a 14-year age limit for work
in factories, mills, canneries and man
ufacturing establishments; 16-year
age limit for employment in mines
and quarries; and eight-hour day and
no night work for children between
IA and 16.
Regarding the action that will be
taken by the United States supreme
court on Judge Boyd's latest decision
(invalidating the child labor tax law,
Secretary Lovejoy says:
"Unless the supreme court goes
squarely back on it's previous deci-
sions, it will not affirm Judge Boyd's
decision of unconstitutionality. The
fact that congress sought to do by in
direction what it could not do by
direct prohibition has nothing to do
with the case. Congress has in the
past laid prohibitive tax calculated
to destroy the article taxed-notably
in the case of colored oleomargarine,
state bank notes and the manufacture
of phosphorus matches. It's power to
do this has been twice upheld by the
court, and have every confidence that
the court will do so for the third time
in the child labor case"

Packing House Profits
On Late War Contracts

Chicago-S idea of the tremen-
dous supplies of meat furnished by
the packers to the government during
the war is given by the Cudahy Pack
ing company, smallest of the "big
five" packers, in a memorandum sub
mitted to the war department. The
company reports that it made in 1918,
after paying interest and taxes,
practically the same rate of net
profit as in the pre-war year 1914"
Deliveries of dressed beef for the
army and navy, from May, 1917,
through November, 1918, totaled
39,508,O35 pounds, which cost $685.
246.18. Of canned meats, 50,620,042
pounds were used, the total cost Of
which was $14,782,033.54. Bacon cost
1867 ,320, and weighed 1,44O6O0
pounds. During the latter part of
the war the company furnished the
government over 100000 pounds of
bacon per week. The total value and
volume of supplies furnished the gov
ernment amounted to Sal, ,250,000.
The number of pounds of meat sold
the government was 102,709,545. The
above figures represent deliveries
which never equaled 25 per cent of the
company's total production.
By way of comparison of the
Cudahy business with that of the
other packers, the Cudahy total sales
of 1918 were $286,66O,971, while sales
of Swift & Co. for the fiscal year of
1918 were 100000, and those of
Armour, exclusive of business from
Argentine plants, 100000.

LABOR UNIONS TAKE NOTICE

Something took place in Toledo,
Ohio, last week which neither the
labor unions of Toledo, nor of the
State of Ohio, nor of the whole coun-
try can afford to either ignore or con-
done. Let us state some facts. For
the last four weeks four manufactur-
ing firms suspended operations fol-
lowing a labor dispute involving 15,-
900 men and women. When it was
announced that all these firms would
resume business the Mayor of Toledo
deputized five hundred discharged
soldiers ostensibly to preserve claw
and order" The real purpose back
of the deputizing of these ex-soldiers
as special policemen was to intimidate
the striking employees Of the firms un-
willing to comply with the demands
of the strikers. A press dispatch
states that the five hundred ex-sol-
diers were furnished with "a hundred
horses and that a like number of
motorcycles have been furnished for
the former soldiers. The men will
wear khaki uniforms, will carry auto
matte pistols and will wear regulation
police shields"
We have here in embryo a plan for
intimidating Labor by the display of
military force whenever wage work
ers go on strike to secure what they

Urge Retirement Bill
For Civil Service Men

Washington-A civil service retire
ment bill was indorsed at conference
of trade unionists, held in the A. F.
of l.. building. The bill will be spon-
sored by Congressman Lehlbach of
New Jersey, chairman of the house
committee on reform in the civil serv-
ice, and includes several features as
compared with the McKellar-Keating
bill, which was reported to both
houses in the last congress, but failed
of passage.
Under the new bill the optional age
for retirement for the large mass of
employees is fixed at 65 years; for
mechanics, city and rural letter car
riers and post office clerks at 62 years
and railway postal clerks at go years.
During the first ten years of the acts
operation employees may be continued
in the service for two-year periods in
definitely, but after 10 years they
may be continued in the service only
four years beyond the retirement age,
thus making retirement compulsory
at 50 years, sc years and ga years In
the respective classes.
No annuity shall exceed $720 a
year or less than $3.50 year. The
212 per cent deduction from the basic
salary of employees is similar to last
years bill.
A new feature provides for retire
ment of those who become physically
or mentally incapacitated for efficient
service before reaching the retire
ment age. This section has been care
fully drawn and is intended to pro-
tect both the employe and the gov
ernment.

Children of Labor
UNION WITH TEETH DEPEND ON
WORKERS
Blue Skies of General Approval Fade
When the Young Unions Become
Powerful and Begin to As
sert Their Just Rights

New York-The American Teacher,
official magazine of the American
Federation of Teachers, is not fooled
by the fiattery bestowed on newly
formed unions of teachers, and makes
this comment, which can apply to
other newly-formed unions:
''It has been the fortune of some
locals of the American Federation of
Teachers to begin their careers under
the blue skies of general public ap-
proval. Members of the board of edu-
cation, the superintendent of schools,
and the important newspapers, have
given their blessings to the infant
local. gASes-Nss.1
young things are always objects
of approval, until they begin to grow
teeth. 4
"Other locals seem to start under
spell of Indifference, as if their gene
sis were attended by some form of un-
hallowed parentage. No one acknowl-
edges them, except the warm heart of
labor. Alone and unapproved by the
Journalist representatives of public
education, and assaulted by the public
press, their youth is characterized by
a precocious shrewdness and a spirit
of independence which sometimes
make them seem unlovely young
things.
"But the entrenched friends of to-
day may not be willing friends of
tomorrow. The young unions grow
and they become powerful. They no
longer depend on their patrons, ana
the patrons begin to see that their
power over the young things has
weakened. Quite unrealized until too
late, the entrenched friends compre-
hend the fact that the growing power
of the young local is a menace to the
continuance of the control which was
as natural as it was agreeable.
"Then, without warning, the pat
ronizing friends arise in their wrath,
throw down their masks of hypocrisy,
put on their iron-barbed gloves and
snite the youthful and menacing
power full in the face.
"The friends of today are no longer
friends, but the young power finds In
the outcast brother. And both are
the children Of labor"

PERU HONORS GOMPERS

Washington-Organized workers of
Peru have forwarded to President
Gompers, through the Peruvian en-
bassy in this city, a testimonial bear
ing their signatures as an expression
of their admiration for the efforts of
the A. F. of L. executive in the cause
of labor.
In a letter to President Gompers,
Justo A. Casaretto, president of the
Artisans Federation of Lima, Peru,
says:
II respectfully salute you and at
the same time wish to inform you
that in sending you this pamphlet
through our ambassador am prompt
ed to do SO because l am convinced of
the sincere affection you feel for

Reporters Organize Union

Montreal, Can.-Reporters on the
French and English newspapers have
organized union with charter from
the international Typographical union.
1t is claimed that this is the first
newspaper writer's union formed in
Canada. The purposes are: "To
promote the professional and general
interests of the members by encour-
aging higher professional standard,
by raising the rate of remuneration,
by regulating the hours of work, and
by providing adequate compensation
for overtime and special work."

WOOLWORTH STORE STRIKE

South Chicago, Ill.-The girls en-
ployed in the Woolworth store were
recently organized and made a de-
mand for increased wages and shorter
hours. When it was rejected the girls
walked out Of the store. Wages paid
was from $3.50 to $3.50 per week. 1t
is understood that that is the rate
paid in nearly all the stores of this
company in the various cities. 1t will
be recalled that the head of this COM
pany died recently and left a fortune
Of $6O,OOO,000. It's accumulation was
due largely to the extremely low
wages paid employees and the slavish
condition exacted.

Clerks Get an Agreement

Richmond, Va. - Federal Manager
George w. Stevens of the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad and the adjustment
board of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks of the same line have signed
an agreement.
The right of the men to join the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks and
the recognition of that organization;
seniority rights; the eight hour day;
the 26-day month, with specified holi-
days; pay for all overtime; an ade-
quate jurisdiction clause, and vaca-
tion periods are agreed to.

consider they are entitled to. The
Mayor of Toledo could have enrolled
ordinary citizens as deputies if he
thought that law and order were en-
dangered in the municipality of which
he is the official head. But citizens
dressed in civilian clothes would not
serve the purpose of intimidating as
effectively as would former soldiers
dressed in khaki. Hence those five
hundred khaki-wearing deputies hired
to overawe the Toledo wage workers
who are trying to secure for them
selves what they deem to be their
just rights.
Militarism intrisically is antago-
nistic to Democracy. Hence the need
in republic for making the army
know its place. The legitimate office
of the soldier is to defend civilians in
time Of war and not to intimidate
them in time of peace. 1t is the duty
Of the labor unions of the United
States to enter an energetic protest
against the outcroppings of militar-
ism in any shap or form. They should
begin by condemning in the strongest
terms the action of the Mayor of
Toledo in mastering ex-soldiers for
the purpose of .intimidating men and
women seeking to better their condi-
tions in life.

High Prices Won't End

Washington-There is no imme-
diate prospect for lower living costs,
according to Julius RoSewald, head of
Sears, Roebuck & Co. In letter to
Secretary of Labor Wilson, the Chi
cago merchant says:
'It is my belief that the range Of
prices for the necessities of life will
average little, if any, lower than at
the present time. Of course, there
will be some exceptions, but l do not
look for sudden or violent reduction
in the near future aside from those
which have been artifcially stimu-
lated.
"There exists a tremendous demand
in our own country for all kinds of
commodities. Tis demand will not
diminish materially until war-wrecked
Europe re-establishes herself on a
peace-time production basis. / fully
agree with those who believe that the
reconstruction is going to tax our eff
forts perhaps even harder than did
the war, and that there is cause for
rejoicing in these conditions, even
though accompanied by high prices,
for, after all, it is not a question so
much of the price one has to pay as
to what relation this price bears to
ones own income"
On the same subject Otto H. Kahn,
New York banker, writes to Secretary
of Labor Wilson his belief that prices
will not be materially lowered for a
number of years, if at all, and that
for all practical purposes at least the
war has brought a new level of prices,
the existence of which must be recog-
nized.

LESS MINE FATALITIES

Washington = The United States
bureau of mines reports that there
was a decrease of SO fatalities in and
around mines during February, 1919,
as compared with the same month in
1919. Kentucky and Kansas are not
included. The figures are 155 in Feb
ruary, 1919; 214 in February, 1918.
During the first two months of this
year 324 were killed by coal mine ac-
cidents in the United States. During
the corresponding months of last year
there were 421 fatalities. This is a
total decrease of 81 fatalities during
the two months.
