OLD BASKET, CHEAP CUTS
URGED TO LOWER H. C.. L.
Cudahy Packing Company Head
Deprecates Government Regula-
ton of Cost of Living.

CHICAGO. December 16.-The surest
way back to old-fashioned price levels
is to shop with the old-fashioned mar
ket basket, and occasionally use old
fashioned corned beef and other fine
and palatable but cheaper cuts"
Z. A. Cudahy, president of the
Cudahy Packing Company. gave that
advice to the buying public in his an
nual report to the stockholders of the
concern.
Government attempts to regulate
the cost of living and insistence of
the public on having the best, re-
CARELESS of cost, were prime factors
behind present price levels. Cudahy
said.
Discussing the first, he said: IF we
we had had such high prices of COM
modities as would have been the case
under normal and uncontrolled condi-
tions. increased production. coupled
with the enforced lessened consump-
ton, would have followed more sure
ly, and the situation would have
reached permanent normal level
with less confusion"
On the subject of extravagant buy
ing he declared:
There has been an abnormal de-
mand this year for articles of the
highest price and quality. Every
body has wanted the best and has
seemed to have the money to pay for
il. If there was better demand
for the cheaper cuts ii would have the
most beneficial effect all around.

CONCRETE HUT NO
HOME FOR ESKIMO,
SAYSSTEFANSS
Arctic Explorer Says 1t Would
Be the Death of the Deni-
zen of Frozen North.

NEW YORK. December 15.-The
movement to modernize the Eskimo
by providing him with concrete huts
in place of his picturesque snow
"igloos." as suggested by an official of
the United States bureau of fisheries,
would be the death of the denizen of
the icy north in the opinion of With
jalmur Stefansson. the arctic ex-
plorer.
Not only is the Eskimo devoted TO
his age-Iong habitation as the South
Sea Islanders are to their traditional
Earb of flower garlands and fresh
smiles. but he is far healthier. warm
err and more comfort able in his domed
mansion of snow blocks than he coul
be in any modern house of concrete
Chnracterixcs story rs Silly.
The statement that the natives of
the Prybiloff Islands were about to
discard their snow huts for modern
concrete huts. finding the gales OF
the Boring sea too strong for the
former. upon which the story of the
intended change of Eskimo habits
was based. Mr.. Stefansson character
lied as too silly for discussion.
The explorer. talking at his head
quarters at the National Geograph-
zeal Society building here. said that
the Prybiloff Islanders had never
lived in snow. but in wooden huts. and
that further north, where the natives
do live in snow houses, it would be
next to impossible TO convert them
to any other dwelling.
IxIoo a Comfortable Home.
Their igloo serves as a home for
two or three weeks. Then they build
a new one. Because it is new it is
clean and sanitary. 1t is as warm
and comfortable as your library. A
candle gives as much illumination as
three electric lights, because of the
intense whiteness of the snow.
The snowhouse will. stand under
any conditions. In all. the igloo is as
comfortable a home as a man could
wish.
The concrete hut, like the wooden
hut. must be uncomfortable and in
sanitary. Wherever the natives have
changed from the snow to the wooden
home there has followed pneumonia
and typhoid and a tremendous in
crease in the death rate.
Eskimo Likened to Gypsy.
The Eskimos are a migratory race
Contract with civilization has affected
them and they are dying off. They
must soon be extino- Il the con-
crete hut hastens that extinction. The
Eskimos are like the gypsies. Try to
keep a gypsy in a house of concrete
and see what happens.
Still. the Eskimos might be con-
verified to the concrete hut" went on
Mr.. Stefansson, smiling, eff it be-
comes the fashion. Should concrete
homes become fashionable, all Es-
kimos would soon be living in them
Human nature is the same the world
over. Let some one Introduce the
wearing of furs as a fashion in the
Zulu Islands. and the natives there
would wear furs. VoE,en wear furs
in California and / srida. where the
climate is just as hot as on the Zulu
Islands. So you see. you never can
tell.

TRADES UNION CONGRESS
IN LONDON MODERATE
Majority Disposed to Press Labor's
View. But Ignores Methods
Suggested by Firebrands.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.

w AMI 11NASE
Special Cnblegram to The Star and the
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1919.
LONDON. England. December IA
While fair amount of violent Ian
guage was used at the special trades
union congress just concluded in Lon
don the majority Of the delegates dis
played a moderation and judgment
highly gratifying to the average OBJ
server. Subversive counsels made no
Roadway. Bolshevism hardly squeaked
Revolutionary proposals were made
and the congress showed itself deter
mined to press labor's point OF view
unremittingly, but not by the meth
DDS proposed by the firebrands. Its
methods are those of constitutional
reform.
Wants Mines NatiOnaIized.
1t wants and is fighting for the
naturalization of the mines, but at
least. for the time being. it has re-
jected direct action in favor of a ma
tional campaign of education. In other
words, so far as it has gone, the
movement is democratic movement,
appealing not only to organized Ia
Dor. but to every element of the pop
ulation. Labor's entire intellectual
strength is enlisted in the struggle.
Meetings are taking place all over the
country and are addressed with ear
lnestness and ability. 1t is doubtful if
more mental power and moral fervor
were ever before brought into play in
British public life.
Labor Government "A Possibility.
1t is clear that a labor government
is far from an impossibility in Great
Britain in a measurable time. Never
before have the leaders of the work
ing classes thought so incisively and
so deeply as they think today. They
and are even tackling the reconcile
problem of state finance. They will
have a national general staff not I'M
!. like the complete chiefships of the
army and will set their hands to
thorough CO ordination of labor Pend
ing, their own accession to official re-
sponsibility they will bring all possible
pressure to bear upon the government
to enact the policies in which they
believe.
Conservative critics doubt their
ability to persuade the country of the
benefits of Naturalization, but ap-
preciate the temperatures of many
of them and applaud their adoption OF
constitutional procedure. Should their
campaign. fail then, if Robert Smillie
head of the miners organization, may
be, believed, the miners will urge di-
rect action to force" the government
to nationalist the mines.
Query by Commentator.
But shrewd commentators ask,
What will labor's general staff say
to the effort of the minority to CO.
cree and control the majority Will
it wish to lead it's battalions in such
a struggle?" Apparently the miners
federation is the most advanced of
unions. 1t proposes. in addition to the
naturalization of the mines. govern
ment control of the cost Of living by
taking over food of all sorts, ships,
railways. motor transport and the ma :
tional banking systems. 1t demands a
| Substantial. levy upon capital as the
proper way to remove the burden of
the war debt.

SEES IRELAND CONTENT

Sir John Griffith, in Dublin Ad-
= dress, Tells of Lessons Of War
to the Emerald Isle,

DUBLIN, December 1 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press) Sir
John Griffith, Irish engineer. who re-
Gently retired from the service of the
Dublin port and docks board. in an
address delivered in Dublin said that
If religious intolerance and political
trickery could be banished from Ire
land and the land handed over to the
control of engineers, there would be
prospects of industrial progress and
contentment.
The lessons of the war for Ireland
he considered to be her isolation, the
importance of her strategic position
and the deficiency of naval bases on
her western coast. Another naval
base should be formed in Galway bay
and a thoroughly equipped harbor
built there. This harbor would be
available as a deep-sea fishing station
and as terminal port for a high
speed passenger and mail service be-
tween America and Europe.
Only Remedy for Unrest.
The only remedy for Industrial un-
rest throughout the world he believed
to be the adoption of some system of
cooperation, copartnership or profit
sharing.
Referring to the possibilities of
Irish peat. he pointed out that IL air
dried peat were used to replace coal
the Irish deposits would be sufficient
to satisfy the fuel and power require
ments of the country for 800 years.
Recounting the work of Irish engi-
neers. he said that Ireland has the
largest telescope. the largest ships.
the largest sluices. the largest con-
crete ~blocks for harbor work, the
most striking improvement OF har-
Dor entrance Dublin) by artificial
scour, and that in it's industrial fac
tories Ireland can claim the largest
brewery, the largest spinning and
weaving works and the largest rope
works.
