COST OF LIVING
LIKELY TO STAY
HIGH LONG TIME

Philadelphia, July 26.-The cost Of
living is likely to stay high for q long
time to come in the opinion Of the
Philadelphia board Of trade. This view
is a result Of compilation. OF statis-
tics from many lines of trade and in
dustry.
According to these figures the adj
vance in prices in this country since
1914 has been about 107 percent, in
Canada, lis percent: Great Britain.
133 percent, and France, 235 percent.
1t is pointed out that, in spite OF ma
terial reductions in the price of steel.
the advance in other commodities
since the armistice has been SO great
that the average price schedules have
been reduced but 81 percent below
prices prevailing October 1, 1918.
The following are given as reasons
why wages will not be much less for
a considerable period Of time.
Practical stoppage Of immigration
since 1914, depriving this country of
several millions of workers who would
normally have come to US and thus
have relieved the labor shortage which
confronts American industry upon the
resumption of capacity operations.
Retention in the government mill
tary service of nearly 100000 work
ers, which. it is declared, will doubt
less continue an indefinite period.
Creation of new industries such as
shipbuiIding. manufacture of chemi-
Gals and dyes.
Urgent demand for building and
construction of every class due to
their having been forcibly held back
for several years.
Shortage of world food supplies and
uniformly high prices.
Proportionately higher levels OF
commodity prices existing throughout
Europe.

WAGE INCREASE
IN ENGLAND IS
CAUSEOF WORRY

London. July 26.-Recent increases
in wages of British workmen have
been the subject OF very serious de-
bate by economists. employers and
others as one OF the bedrock prob
lens of reconstruction, in the sense
that the nation may stand or fall by
1t.
Some say the question which con-
fronts the British industry is whether
the pendulum of wages may not
swing so high that production for
competition with rival nations will
become improbable and then impos-
sible.
Higher wages for all" is the de-
mand of the organized and morgan
lied workers. With II il the cry for
shorter hours, better conditions OF
living, freedom to. meet the employer
on a plane of business equality, as
two business men meeting together
More concentrated work, more in
telligent work and we will try to meet
you is the response from many en-
ployers.
The question has been seriously
raised here whether England in the
past has owed her prominence il the
worlds industrial markets to under
expressed by Frank vanderlip, New
York banker, when he returned to
America a few weeks ago after spend
ing several months in Europe.
There are shrewd business men who
contend that British labor has not
been cheap. but considered solely as
an item in the cost of production has
been relatively costly when compared
with the labor of the United States.
The topic came forward at a re-
cent informal gathering in London Of
American and British captains Of in
dustry. Some were men who COM
mand great enterprises, who think in
terms of millions OF pounds and bril-
gades of workmen. Their talk dealt
with the iron and steel productions,
shipbuilding. the various industries
and manufactures OF machinery, mo-
tors, sewing machines and the like.
The concensus OF opinion among
them seemed to be that the average
skilled English workman of pre-war
times, paid a small wage, got more
money for what he did than the aver
age American artisan, that the labor
cost of producing commodities in this
country was greater than for pro-
ducing similar goods in the United
States.
ions and obstruction against labor
saving machinery, not lack of abil-
ity, were held to be the chief reasons
for smaller results by British work
ingmen. Speed up the work and you

Cincinnati man tells how to
lift off any corn without
hurting one bit

You reckless men and woman who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by Cincinnati authority to
use drug called freezone, which the
moment few drops are applied to any
corn, the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts out
with the fingers.
1t is sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. It is claimed thai
a quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug stores.
but is sufficient to rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or callus.
eYou are further warned that cutting
at corn is q suicidal habit.

CONGRESS ENDED
SESSION TUESDAY

Washington, March A. Congress
adjourned at noon today in the midst
of Republican filibuster in the SEN
ate that killed long list of impor-
tant measures.
Among the bills that failed was one
appropriating $75O,OO0,OOO for the
r a r DAD administration, without
which, some administration leaders
say, the railroads must be returned
to their owners before the middle of
April. There was no turning back of
clocks. Democratic leaders realized
that the situation was hopeless and
the gavels ending the long, great
war session and the 65th congress,
actually tapped at noon.
Just before adjournment, President
Wilson in his capitol office, author
lied final notice to the Republicans
that their efforts to force an imme-
diate extra session had failed; that
he was mistaken in his determina-
tion not to call congress until his
work at the peace conference was
done.
Democratic Control Passes
Adjournment marks the passing Of
Democratic control at the capitol
The congress that expired at noon
began in April, 1917, passed the Ger
man war declaration, and it's almost
continuous sessions have been mark
ed by unprecedented controversy
Big bills that failed included the
army and navy appropriation meas
ures. The only two important meas
ures that ran the gauntlet in the last
4S hours were the Victory Liberty
loan bill and the billion dollar wheat
guarantee bill.
Washington, March A. Preshi-
dent Wilson will carry back to France
with him the knowledge that 81 men,
bers of the next senate are pledged
to defeat his League of Nations plan
in it's present form.
This number is four more than the
33 votes necessary to prevent ratifi-
cation of a treaty.
Following night of bitter discus
sion, which was still raging against
the president at 8 o'clock this morn
ing, review of the situation dis
closed that 81 senators, of whom
some will come in the next congress,
are pledged:
Against Present League
That the league constitution in its
present form should not be accepted
by the United States.
That the peace treaty concluding
the war should be hastened and the
league proposal postponed until af-
ter the treaty is finished.
This was the substance of a reso-
luton presented by Senator Lodge,
Massachusetts, around midnight. In
presenting the resolution he was care
full to read it so that it would be
spread on the records. He sent it to
the desk with the request for imme-
diate consideration. .
Like a flash, Senator Swanson, Vir-
ginia, objected. Lodge, anticipating
this, said: ~
81 Pledged to Oppose
II now wish to read in explaining
the following names of members of
the sixty-fifth congress and members
elect of the sixty-sixth who, if they
had been given an opportunity,
would have voted for this resolution"
Amid dead silence from the Demo-
Gratis and the packed galleries, Lodge
read the names of the 81.
This resolution is result of the
stand made by Republican leaders on
the Presidents plan, they claiming
that it would plunge this country
into every European quarrel that
should arise as we'll as lead to our
bearing the burden of policing half of
