Wholesale Prices and Retail.

While announcing the glad news that food prices
had already decreased good deal and would soon go
down a lot more the chairman of the Federal Food
Board admitted that hereabou the retailers for the most
part were still keeping the old high figures
That. he said, was because their present stocks were
bought while the on or before wartime restric
tons ended, and he added that as soon as these
stocks sold the retail prices would also be lowered
Apparently he thought this right, or at least nat
ura course for the retailers pursue and as matter
OF fact it is easy to understand their Discrimination to
take loss, they help it. None Of us really would
like that But the political economists or most of them
have always commended that when wholesale prices ad
yanaed retailer under obligation to refrain
from putting up his prices until after he had
he has been advised that was almost or quite his duty
to mark his goods at once something vakuely
terrible should happen to distribution"
Why this has never been very clearly under

TIME FOR PEACE RIGHT HERE.

Now that the little difficulty between the Americas
police and the military police of souher Field has
settled the accused soldiers being dealt with by their
officers, it is very properly to be hoped that better
feeling may between these agencies of law and
order
There has been blame both sdes-some
petty jeaousies authority should have been
allowed to crop out Some of the soldiers liked to think
they were not amenabe to civilian police authority and
the civilian police liked to let the soldiers know where
to head when they their contempt for the fly
become too unmistakable Of course soldier is sub
ject to city police authority When not the govern
ment reservation he is merely citizen of the United
States, subject it's civil just any else And
he should never forget However the army has
its police which delegated help keep the soldier
off duty out of trouble and to assist the civilian
police whenever the soldier trouble There should
be rivalryno jealousy of authority There is glory
enough for all in being policeman-whether civil or mil
itary-and cooperation would be much pleasant
and effective than antagonism
The soldiers are than welcome in Americas
While they stationed posts here Americas
is their home town They actually part of it, and
the civilians who make the city want them feel that
it is theirs But would be of great satisfac
tion people of Americas and to the officers respon
sble the air posts the soldier and the
local police should adopt more friendly attitude
each other. t.s4 vi jst
Perhaps there will be better understanding from
this time on. Let US hope

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BitrO- Phosphate to
Put ON Firm. Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, VigOr
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepa-
rations and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by Americas Drug Co. and most
all druggists under guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back. By feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying
the body cells with the necessary phos-
phoric food elements, phosphate
quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being
astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
soon disappear, dull eyes become
bright, and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and gen
eral weakness, it should not, owing
to its remarkable flesh-growing prop
critics, be used by anyone who does
not desire to put on flesh. adv

1000 Men of the 77th
Still Looking for Jobs

Two Thousand men Of the 77th Di-
vision are still looking for jobs.
Gordon l. Sawyer, who has been de-
tailed by. the United States Employ
ment Service to help place these men,
said yesterday that employers have
stopped sending him applications for
workers Since the parades and cele-
b1ations which brought the situation
before the public have ceased, he adds,
the rush to employ the men also had
ceased
In spite OF this lack of enthusiasm
500 men of the division have been
placed in the past three weeks. Out
of the S52 men who last week came
into Mr. Sawyer's Office personally to
ask for jobs ITO were placed
Although this record of placements
IS as good as that of any other employ
ment service at present, Mr. Sawyer
pointed out that it was not sufficient
to care for the needs of the men.
Among the members of the division
still looking for jobs are three chem
lists, an employment manager who for
merly managed the personnel of a
chain of retail stores at $4,000 year.

Used to Hunt Radicals
The $500,OOO special appropriation
asked to-day is in addition to the regu
lar estimate of S1,5O0,0O0 for the sup
port of the department Of Justice. Of
this special fund $4,000 would be used
for the organization of special squad
of operatives to be used exclusively in
hunting down dangerous radicals.
For the pay of director of the Bu-
reau of Investigation, the position to
which William J. Flynn was appointed
following the bombing of the Attorney
GneraPs home in this city, $500 is
asked by Mr.. Palmer.
The Attorney General declined to
give any outline of his plans for run
ming down terrorists. He will appear
before the Appropriations Committee in
support of his request tomorrow, and
probably will give the committee his
plans in confidence at that time. 1t
was said at the Department of Justice
that much of the work Of crime detec-
tion will have to be halted unless the
appropriation is granted, as funds for
this work are practically exhausted.
Sidney L. Gulick of New York, secre-
tary of the National Committee for
Constructive immigration Legislation,
recommended to the immigration Com
mittee that immigration be restricted to
the percentage Of naturalized Ameri-
cans of each foreign race, instead of be-
ing entirely prohibited for period of
two or four years, as proposed in sew

is an individual one for every Ameri-
can citizen worthy of the name.
Organized labor distinguishes be-
tween a government that rests on the
whim of one man Or a small group Of
men and a government Of, by and for
the people.
Our 1919 Labor day celebration fea-
lures this difference between the two
systems of government which recently
struggled for mastery. The thought
behind these systems is older than any
nation. In truth, nations are but an in
cident, but process, in this struggle
of human liberty and advancement
versus the ancient theory Of govern
ment so well illustrated by German
junkerdom.
Organized labor is not peace move
ment. While we long for the day of
industrial concord, when disputes be-
tween capitalists and laborers will not
longer feature our industrial life. we
refuse to paralyze our movement by
surrendering the right to strike against
wrong when other methods fail.

and continuous eating enlivened the

Change in industrial conditions grad
ually lessened the influence of the
guilds, which enjoyed much prosperity
from the twelfth to the fifteenth cen
turies. During the latter half Of the
eighteenth century many of these or
ganizations lost their vigor, but the
old guilds have never become defunct.
Of the 100 which existed, 80 are alive
today.
OF those possessing but remnant
of their former power and practicing
their ancient trades only to the slight
est degree, 40 city companies have
their own halls, while the other guilds
men use rented or loaned quarters.

guilds but still has some of it's ancient

PARTNERS IN LIFE's WORK.

At this time several aspects of the
labor question demand consideration.
We need to emphasize the meaning and
necessity of labor-to show that it is
both law and a means Of service. We
need to emphasize the difference be-
tween productive labor that performs a
service and makes wealth, and unpro-
ductive labor that wins wealth away
from others and lives upon their toll.
We need to emphasize the fact that in
dustry is partnership, and so it de-
mands the participation of all parties
as partners in the enterprises. We
need to realize that the relations in in
dustry are human relations, and so
1t is necessary that the relations of
men with one another should be just
and brotherly relations.-Exchange

Americans First.

It is time for us to forget every
thing but that; to forget our selfish in

to remember that we are Americans

destiny of useful labor under free in

faulty, as all things human are faulty,

Every national and international,
every local union affiliated to the
American Federation Of Labor, has
made definite progress in securing for
its members greater advantages In
those things which are fundamental OF

Taking the labor movement as
whole there has been greater progress
in securing the shorter workday than
in any other similar period of time.
The meaning of these victories can be
interpreted only in the light of full
understanding of the meaning Of the
shorter day. The shorter workday is
