CHASING H. c. OF |.
Employers w ould Blam {
Wage Demands for It's
Cause

Boston.-The national industrial
conference board is chasing old IL.
C. of L. This board represents a
score of employers associations and
favors present wages, if employees will
work harder and produce more goods.
This" says the board, seems to
be the only means of escaping the
vicious circle by which an increase
in the cost of living is used as a
reason for demanding higher wages
VII ch, in turn are important fac
tors in high prices of goods, result
ine in another rise in the cost of
commodities consumed by the work
er"
This statement, to the superficial
reader, cleverly conveys the impress
sion that the workers are responsible
for present living costs. A careful
reoding of the statement, however,
shows that the employers acknowl-
edge the workers are not response
lie end that when workers attempt
te meet increases by wage advances
the employers seized the opportunity
to give H. G. OF L. another boost.
According to this REASONING, if a
nan defended himself against the at
tack of a highwayman he would be

Still Out
Are Machinists AT Hamilton
Machine Tool Co.

There is no change whatever in the
strike situation at the Hamilton Ma
chine Tool Co., where the machinists
are all out, other than that the ii
professional strikebreakers who were
imported here, for some reason or
other left the plant and the city. It
is now hoped that some satisfactory
adjustment of the grievances existing
may be reached The strike is being
conducted in a quiet business like
but firm manner on the part of the
men.
They are taking a firm stand in
the matter and say they will stick it
out to the end They feel justified in
their stand as they are asking for
nothing other than that the firm live
up to its agreement made, to restore
the men to their former positions.
This agreement was entered into by
the firm several weeks ago but not
lived up to in as much as the firm has
been placing men at work other than
its former employees.
The machinists claim that the treat
ment they are receiving from the
Hamilton Machine Tool Co., takes the
first premium for ingratitude. The
company has built up fine reputa-
tion for it's grade of work and this
reputation was made by the splendid
organization composed of the high
skilled mechanics it employed the past
few years, and who are now only ask
ing for fair deal.
Much comment is made on the quiet
and orderly manner in which this
strike is being conducted. In fact it
is surprising how few citizens know
that there is strike on at this big

Plea of A. F. of L. To

Washington.-The members of the
A. F. of l.. executive council who are
now in Paris have forwarded this ca
BILE to A. F. of L. Secretary Frank
Morrison, who has presented same to
President Wilson and members of con-
gress:
"Our Investigation and findings in
European countries show that unrest
and unhealthy conditions now pre-
vailing among laboring classes are
due mainly to after-war conditions;
that there is danger TO the public
veal in some of the efforts that are
being put forward by the discomfort
ed masses and that to prevent
growth of similar conditions in Amer
lea, congress must take such action
as will put governmental affairs into
constructive rather than passing or
questionable position.
eve recommend that project to de-
fer building construction for govern
mental purposes until February l.,
1920, be abandoned and that individ-
ual enterprises in building industry be
encouraged.
eve also strongly urge that action
be taken toward competition of ships
now 25 per cent or more finished, thus
giving employment to those now idle
and likely to become idle, and with
the additional advantage of avoiding
the loss which would otherwise oc-
cur if ships were not completed, even
if necessary to sell ships at less than
normal prices if not needed by the
government"

FOOD VALUE.

much of it selling for the same or
even less than the plain -four,
which in itself is evidence of the
fact that it is of inferior quality.
Naturally, then, its food value is
less than that of pur plain flour.
In the long run it really costs
more and represents waste.
There is no real economy in it.
Some housewives are under the I'M
preston that it saves them a little
effort. but in this they are ms
taken. Self rising flour must
often be sifted as it is inclined to
get lumpy. The food value Of a
prepared -four is considerably less
than a good grade of pure plain
flour which is made from better
wheat and contains no cheap
leavening agent or calcium sui
phate, commonly called plaster OF
paris, often contained in the In
gradients used in self rising t1ours
in order to cheaper the product.
Thus the -four question serves
AZ a very good illustration of what
is meant by saying the value OF
foods should be determined by
their food value. And likewise
the economy of using various
foods should be determined in a
similar manner. It isn't always
the cheapest that is best. In fact,
the opposite is often the case.

pany, which agreed to sell him one
ton for So at their Boyd street plant.
