WORLD CONFERENCE
 IF LABOR COMING
WILL BE HELD IN WASHINGTON AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE
 TREATY OF PEACE.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES FIXED
Leaders From Nearly Al! European Countries Are to Participate-Amer- jeans Are Not Afraid That Radicals Will Seize Control.
By JAMES p. HoRNA0AY.

Washinston.-ln spite Of the fact that the United States senate has not vet ratified the treaty of peace with Germany. the international labor con ference authorized by the peace treaty will meet here on October 29. in Hc- cordanee with the call issued some months ago. Neither the state depart ment nor fbe labor department is able 10 say at this time what nations will be represented at the conference. The treaty If peace provides fhat the orig lnal members of the League O. Nations shall be the original men hers of this organization. II is now proposed that the United States shall be represented al the conference in an unofficial way Delegates representing this country will be present but will not nave a vote unless the treaty shall have been ratified ht the United States senate by October 29.
 In view of the unrest that exists throughout the world keen interest will inevitably center on this labor conference. The treaty Of peace enun- eiates certain methods and principles for regulating labor con litions.
 Nine Guiding Principles.
 The conference will be bound hy these principles or regulations. which are as follows
 FirSt-The guiding principle that la bor shall nat h. regarded merely as commodity er article of commerce.
 Second-The right of assertion for all lawful purposes by the employed as well as hy the employers.
 Third-The payment to the employee of a wage adequate to maintain req sonable standard of fife as this k un- derstoad in eaeh country.
 FourA-TAe adoption ef the eight hour day or q 4S-hour week as q stand ard 10 be aimed at where il has not already heen attained.
 F.flh-The adoption of q weekly rest of at least - hours. which will include Sunday wherever practicable.
 Sixfh-The abolition of child labor and the imposition of such limitations on the labor of young persons aS shall FF4eEnIi the continuation of their edu- cation and assuae their proper physi cal development.
 Sevchth-Fhe principle that men and women should receive equal re- nuneratien for work of equal value.
 Eighth-Tbe standard set by law in each country with respect to the con ditions Of labor should have due re- gard to the equitable economic treat ment of all workers lawfully resident therein.
 Ninth-Eaeh state should make pro- vision for system of inspection. in which women should take part, in or der to insure the enforcement of the laws and regulations for the protection of the employed.

disability incurred in the recent war is as follows: Total permanent dis ability. S100 month; total tempo rary disability if the solder has neither wife nor child uvng, SSo q month; if he has a wife but no child living. S90 a month; if he has wife and one child living. s95 month; if he has wife and two children liv- ing Sl00 q month. and if he has no wife but one child. 500 mon1h for each additional child where there is no wife living, S5 q month if he has a mother or father. or both dependent on him for support, $1e month in ad- dition
 The new legislation says specifically what man who served in the war shall receive for certain disability. Under the existing law il has not al- WaXs been easy for the war risk bu- reau to determine the amount If ben eff soldier should receive. The new legislation provides that if the medi- cal examination shows that a benetici- ary under the law is only 50 per cent disabled, he IS to receive one half the amount set out in the schedule Thus. for instance, the legislation says that man who has totally lost his hear ing ls only 90 per cent disabled and may earn 90 per cent of his own Iiv- ing. Accordingly he and his family would only receive 90 per cent of the compensation allotment for total dis HbfIifV

Not Afraid of Radicals.

The conference will bring to the na- tlonal capital the most influential la bor leaders in every European coun- try with the exception of Germany. Austria and Russia. In some quarters the fear has been expressed lest the conference might fall into the hands of the radical leaders. According to American labor leaders there is smah likelihood Of any such outcome Ii ! asserted by the American leaders that the program speaks for itself as con servative estimate of what labor should seek te attain for itself Presi- dent Wilson had expected to address the international conference at his first meeting here but il is certain now that he will not he able to do this. and it may be that Samuel NJ. Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. who took lead ing part in the campaign which re- suited in labor receiving recognition in the treaty Of peace. will not be able to attend the meeting.
 The conference will not have author ity to bind any nation 10 anything. Whatever 1t accomplisheS. it is pointed out. will he along the line of planning to obtain recognition throughout the world for the nine principles set out above Tn this connection it is point ed out that most Of these principles hnve already been accepted in the United States Under the treaty there Is to be an international labor office established at he seat of the League of Nations This office is to be ua- der =the=eeutrol of governing body consisting of 24 persons. One of It's l chief functions will he the collection and distribution of information on all | subjects relating to The international adjustment of conditions of industrial life and labor and particularly the ex. 1 animation of subjects which it is to bring before the conference at it's an nual meetings.

 Red Cross Roll Call.
 Another American Red Cross roll call will be made November 2-1l If the expectations of the organiza- ton are realized. several hundred thousand new members will be enrolled Each new member will mean one additional dollar for the work of the organization. for that is the price of admission. The peace activities of the Red Cross are to be multiplied many times compared with what they were before the recent war, and these activities will. of course, take money. An enormous amount of work remains 10 be done in Europe before the organization can withdraw, but in due time 1t Is proposed to cen ter all the activities in the United States.
 The program of camp service ac- tiyities in this country under the di- rection of the department of military relief provide for a recreation pro gram at every general army and base hospital.

Trainmen Brotherhood is Loyal

w. G. Lee, president of Railroad Trainmen, in
a speech at Columbus the other night, denounced
disloyalty and bolshevism both in and outside the
labor union, thus coming to the unqualified sup
port of Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of labor, who for many years has
been guiding organized labor in the right chan
nels of progress for the attainment OF ideals that
are practical in our economic era.
"The brotherhood trainmen have no particular
sympathy in any Of the plans that pretend the
hope of the world is only to be found in destruc-
ton, said Mr.. Lee, and "t does not subscribe to
any theory that proposes to throw everybody into
a common slough of dependency for the purpose
Of experimenting in the hope that out of this
mental and physical misery, an average may come
that will bring about general better condition
of affairs for majority of the people. We stand
for no such doctrine of destruction and ruin we
believe in the government of our representative
nation and stand as 100 per cent Americans ready
to defend our principles and our faith"
Statements by the leaders of the labor move
ment in America indicate that they have seen
both the fallacy and the danger in the bolshevik
program. j. w. Hays, secretary of the Inter-
national Typographical Union, in a speech in
Richmond last week, emphaticaly declared that
the printers of this country abhorred the prin-
ciples of bolshevism and believed that American
institutions were pliable enough to give to every
worker a living wage commensurate with the de-
crease in the purchasing power of the dollar.
So long as 81 per cent of the American people
take the same view do these leaders of labor
along with other thinkers in the United States
the apostles of bolshevism will find it difficult
to make Roadway in the nation. Organized labor
is firmly pledged to the principle of obtaining
amelieration of conditions and redress of wrongs
through the legislative medium that was estab-
lshed by the founders of our republic.
In this principle they have the support of
every loyal patriot The torch and bomb which
accompany the red flag are detestable means to
obtain reforms and lead only to arson pilage and
murder, instead of better working and living con-
ditions. The American laborer takes sane view
of conditions and hopes to obtain changes by the
employment of conservative methods. He is en-
couraged in his stand by his leaders.

Degrading the Uniform

Richmond had its quota of soldiers and, to the
honor of our Wayne county boys, let it be said
that they do not belong to the class which sold
buttons and paper souvenirs with the hint that
they were compelled to do so because they had
no means of earning money. AS soon as the po-
lice authorities in Richmond learned of the prac-
tice they broke it up with vengeance. The fol
lowing statement is issued by the Red Cross:
1.-THE army isn't coming home in rags and
tatters It isn't public charge. Discharged
soldiers don't have to beg or to peddle souvenirs
for living.
American Red Cross, Lake Division head
quarters, has been asked by National Headquar-
tiers, to warn the people of Ohio Indiana and Ken
lucky against being taken in by these imposters
The American Red Cross in every town and nu-
nicpalty in the three states of the Lake Division
is helping the man who comes home to take up
again the life he left to enter his countrys SER
vice.
RED Cross Home Service workers are ready
to help him get job, and good one. If he is in
need of little ready money, or if his family is
suffering, the Red Cross is ready with loan. If
he is disabled and cannot go back to the old line
of work, the government will train him for some
thing else. It isn't necessary for him to beg, or
to sell post cards, buttons or any kind of souve-
Mrs.
"Most of the uniformed peddlers are takers.
They have no right to the uniform they are wear
ing. Many Of them have never been inside an
army camp. But it is fairly easy to fake uni
form, and get easy money from the patriotic pub
lie. Don't encourage the man who commercial
ICES his countrys uniform. Don't buy his wares"
1t is a rare occasion that service man must
stoop to low practices to obtain work an op-
portunity to make a livelihood. Most of the men,
with few exceptions who engaged in the practices
described in the statement Of the Red Cross
Ithoughtlessly were led astray by slick
civilian who made more money out of the sale of
these souvenirs than did the boys who were sell
ling them The Wayne county boys showed their
spunk and manhood by refraining from entering
upon these practices. 1t is compliment to the
service boys of our community that they held
aloof, knowing that they would soon find employ
ment in legitimate enterprises.

Raiding the American Coffee Cup

The American housewife knows that the price
of coffee has gone up without referring to her
newspaper for proof of the assertion. She may
be ignorant of the causes but the fact asserts
itself with emphasis when she pays her grocery
bill. The Cincinnati Enquirer believes that the
raise in the price of coffee is due to the intention
of the South American coffee producers to col
lect the deferred profits upon the crops they
raise during the war but sold only in part.
Nov that the world market is about to
open, and before sale has been made says the
Enquirer, ''intimations come that there is to be
a shortage here; that the bids elsewhere are
higher; that the frost has nipped the early crop
and more of the usual stuff that preceded an adj
vance in prices. The price of coffee is already
high enough under the conditions. 1t always has
been higher in the United States than elsewhere,
even though on the free list here, while in coun-
tries like Germany there tariff of seven
cents pound
One way to meet this raid is to refuse to buy
the product until the producers act with some
showing of reason argues the Enquirer. It sug-
gests a nationwide cessation of coffee drinking.
BY so doing it believes that the men who are try
ing to create an artificial condition to boost the
price, will soon be brought to their senses It
is adifficult matter to predict what success would
attend such a movement, as coffee is household
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-05-17

necessity 1t would be exceedingly difficult to
organize millions of coffee drinkers 50 effectively
that they would refrain from buying the product.
Perhaps a federal investigation of the problem
as well as q little pressure from the government
might nip in the bud this effort to boost prices
unnecessary for the sake of gain. It will be re-
called that when the state officials of Massa-
chusetts prosecuted the members of the fish
monopoly in Boston, they quickly broke up a
movement to maintain high prices for fish, SINH
lar action might bring similar results in the cof-
fee situation.

How Did Pioneers
Clothe Themselves
m the Old Days2

Could a Wayne county pioneer of
the days of 1919 and earlier be set
down upon Richmond streets, on
Easter Sunday. he would laugh at
the prevalent costume Of the men, and
as he was probably a friend. he would
gasp with horror at women's wear.
In his day, the full dress costume
of gentleman included deer-skin
pantaloons, a blue handkerchief over
the head, deer-skin mocassins on the
feet, belt tied around the blanket
coat, with pouch made of the skin
Of q pole-cat on one side, which held
his Tobacco, pipe, flint and steel On
the other side was fastened his butch
er knife, an indispensable piece of
the costume
Homemade wool hats were COM
mon, and very few shoes were worn.
In the summer, great majority, old
and young, male and female, went
barefooted. The belt was often firing
ed and dyed in gay. coiors, and the
vest. when was worn, was made of
striped lindsey
This pioneers wife spun and wove
the homemade fabrics for her own
clothing and those Of the men. Eight
yards were enough for one dress, and
1t would last year or more. Calico
and Bingham were sometimes bought,
but 1t was only the well-to-do who
could afford them as they had to be
brought in from the outside world.
These same clothes, of slightly bright
er colors than usual, made a Sunday
costume. Jewelry was rare, and the
plain gold band ring was practically
the only article of this kind worn by
many women.
