Approves 1t as Maximum as
Compared With Forty
Eight-Hour Week

Washington, Nov. 6.-Making his
first address before the International
Labor Conference. in which he sits
as an unofficial representative of
American labor, Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. declared for the
eight-hour day as n maximum as
compared with the forty-eight hour
week and incidentally served notice
that in the United States even the
eight-hour day would be shortened
/: labor could accomplish its pur-
pose.
Mr.. Gompers spoke in reply to
majority report on the part of en-
ployer delegates favoring the princi-
pie of reducing hours but stating
that it could not be put in force
generally at this time owing to the
need for increased production as a
result of the war.
The report. submitted by D. S.
Majoribanks, of Great Britain,
pointed out the need for special eff
fort ito make good the shortage of
food supplies. the reconstruction of
devastated areas and the replace
ment of machinery" and declared
that the progressive increase in the
cost of living would lead to disaster
unless the needs of the present sit
uation were considered in conjunc-
ton with the aims of the labor rep
Stoutly denying that output could
be increased over a considerable
period of time by lengthening hours.
Mr.. Gompers characterized the
American workman the most pro-
ductive worker in the world and said I

hour day to be more productive
than a ten or twelve-hour day.

ALABAMA LYNCHER is
CONVICTED OF MURDER

Sim Andrews, of Bay Minette, Ala,
charged with the murder of Frank
Foukal, who was shot IN his cell in
the Baldwin county Jail July % last
year, was found guilty of first de-
gree manslaughter. The jury, which
was out three hours, recommended
sentence Of tie nyears in the peni-
tertiary. Walter Bishop, said to be
another member of the mob, charged
with the lynching of Foukal, will be
placed on trial soon.
This incident is just another proof
that the authorities in the South are
doing everything possible to crush
mob violence and a few more trials
of this kind will soon teach those who
believe in lynch law that it is better
to let the law take its course.

PERSIMMoNS FOR VINEGAR

Atlanta, Ca, July 16.-The
Georgia persimmon, noted for time
immemorial as being useful princi-
pally as food for 'possums and malt
for harmless home beers, has come
into its own again and may become
a commercial product in the near flu
ture. From it experts declare a bet
ter vinegar may be manufactured
than from apples.
An expert from the federal bureau
Of chemistry who appeared at q local
demonstration for housewives in At
lanta recently said that apples were
overrated and that it required thir-
ty days to make vinegar from them
whereas the persimmon could be put
through the necessary stages of fer
mentation in thirteen days and really
made a better product.

WAR, HAS TAUGHT THRIFT

Atlanta, Ga, July 16.-"The World
War, even with its great suffering and
enormous expense, proved to be the
greatest of teachers in thrift" says
Senator Ivan E. Allen, State Direc-
tor of War Savings in Georgia.
Senator Allen has found that ac-
cording to figures taken from table
issued by the American Institute of
Banking, the per capita savings on de-
post in the Southern States in 1914,
the beginning of the war, were
$18.45. At the close of the war, in
1918, the per capita savings had in
creased to $26.73, a percentage in
crease of 44.9 per cent, giving the
Southern States a per capita war saw
ings of $614.
what is true of the Southern
States as a whole is relatively true
of the State of Georgia" said Senaa
tor Allen. "These figures are a
splendid tribute to the spirit of sac
rifce that imbued the people of our
whole country during the great World
War.
what better evidence of the gen.
uineness of its thrift is wanted than
is found in comparing the figures of
the beginning and end of the four
year period, when there was such a
multitude of necessary demands"

TO CUT The HIGH
COST OF LIVING

Living costs are presenting a CUES
ton second only to the peace treaty
in the interest of the senate.
Two movements were under way
to secure information upon which leg
islative action may be taken to re-
duce the cost OF living, Senator
Gronna plans an exhaustive hearing
on two bills, designed for control
of the packing industry, which he be-
lieves will show interesting facts con-
corning high food costs, and Senator
Sherman of Illinois was today COM
pleting plans for an investigation OF
living costs in the District of Colum-
bia. While this investigation is in
tended only to take up food costs in
the District of Columbia, there were
indications that it's scope would be
considerably widened,
Senator Capper of Kansas, a mem
Der of special subcommittee appoint
ed by Senator Sherman, has indica-
ted that he will strive to show in the
investigation some of the causes
which are keeping food costs above
normal.
Senator Capper, champion of the
farmer, has it as his intention to alb
solve the farmer from the blame OF
high costs. He stated today that in
his opinion the retail dealers are to
blame to large extent, and pointed
out that while cattle in selling for
lower prices than several months
ago, the retail prices on meats are not
declining
Senator Capper proposes to sum-
mon witnesses who can give infor-
nation as to the high cost of wearing
apparel, and is firm in his belief that
testimony which will be brought out
will show that retail dealers are re-
sponsible for high prices.
Meanwhile, storm was brewing in
the senate on the regulation of the
packers. Senator Kenyon, who is the
author of one bill which would place
the packers under government con-
troll, declared that there is a wide
spread movement on foot to create
sentiment for the packers. At the
same time there is also an anti-packer
movement evident from the large
number of kilograms being received
from householders demanding some
action against the packers and high
prices.
Such great pressure was being
brought to bear for the lowering of
living costs that it was predicted to-
day by party leaders that some &C
ton would be taken which would at
least be an attempt at relief, as soon
as the peace treaty is disposed of.
