HIGH COST OF LIVING

Increased cost of living has confron
ted the American people for years, with
no apparent reduction, except at rare
intervals, when a furry has brought
,ioour slight reduction in the prices o.
some commodities, but only temporary
and minor in nature.
During the late war, prices of neces-
saries of life mounted still further than
in the days previous to the war. This
increase was declared due to heavy de
mand from foreign nations for food
stuffs, clothing, shoes and other commo-
dities from America, rs well as subse-
quent labor shortage in the United
States, after the American nation be-
came involved in the war. HOarding
of necessities and attempts to "cOr-
ner" the market on certain products,
was forbidden by law, and, due to care
fully worked-out plans of the depart
ment of justice, boarding was reduced
to a minimum.
With the coming of peace. it was pre-
dicted that prices would decline. But
the decline has not come. The Ameri-
can public is paying higher prices to-
day for certain foodstuffs and articles |
of wearing apparel than those paid
during the war. !
Prices are merely relative. Wages
are high. Prices are high. When prices
Of commodities drop, wages are low.
Whether contraction of the currency
would bring about reduction in prices,
AN be demonstrated only by experiment
ng with such method.
The federal government and state
governments have undertaken through
egal methods to bring about a reduc-
ion in costs Hoarding of foodstuffs
II a vast scale is reported from market
ne centers. Hoarders of necessaries,

into believing governmental authorities

STRIKE CRISIS COMING, SAYS
ONE AUTHORITY

In series of articles dealing with indus
trial and business conditions in the United
States Mr.. Carl W. Ackerman, in the
Chicago Evenimg Post, makes the startling
statement that there are sixty-hve unau-
thorized strikes in the United States at the
present time-that is, strikes by so-called
outlaw unions which have broken away from
the authority of the American Federation
Of Labor. In some industrial centers, fed
era and state troops are maintaining order.
Mr. Ackerman makes his statement after
a careful investigation based on tour of
twenty states, including forty-two cities.
He says:
''This is a serious situation which the
nation views with shocking indifference,
The strike epidemic, nevertheless, is rapidly
reaching climax, and it is only question
of time until there will be a strike crisis.
The time is coming when there will be so
many individual strikes, Vacations and
walkouts in large cities and industrial cen
tiers that the country will be faced by gen.
eral strike conditions. Only two things can
prevent this-a miracle and the Washing
ton industrial conference.
CAS- astonishing as it may seem, | meet
every day employers and employees who
look forward to general strike conditions in
pleasant anticipation. Employers want a
Showdown" and labor seeks an opportun-
ity to exert its power That each expects
to be the victor, is obvious That most of
them discount the perils involved, the pos
sible dangers to industry and government,
the great economic loss and inconvenience
and suffering that will result, is equally
evident
"The fact is that there are many employ
ers who favor the closing of all factories
if strikes continue; it has been seriously
discussed by number of men and it is not
an improbability The patience of the en-
ployer is about exhausted Labor troubles
have become nightmare to industry, bust
ness and domestic life"
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1919-10-25

feared an amendment might destroy the
treaty.
1t is now claimed that, for the same rea-
son, the Johnson amendment, seeking to
give the United States as many votes in the
League of Nations as the British Empire,
will, in all probability, meet with defeat.
Miss Jessie Alderman, of the Royal Scott
ish Geographical Society, in speaking Of the
Shantung affair, few days ago, said:
"Shantung is the sacred place of all
China. All the most sacred history of
China centers in Shantung, and now it has
been handed over to despised country.
1t is as if some one had come to this coun-
try, picked up Plymouth Rock, and handed
it over to England.
"The Chinese tried to kill the opium traf-
hc in their country. They purchased
$14,OO0,OO0 worth of the stuff from the
merchants and publicly burned it, and now
the Japs will be free to ship it in as they
please. The liquor traffic is also becoming
great in China, and heard recently that
$4,OO0,0OO was being put up by an Ameri-
can brewing company to introduce beer to
the Cinnamon in China"
