Losses Accumulate
CARELESS HANDLING CAUSES
FOOD WASTE
Useless Handling and Poor Shipping
Facilities Greatly Increase
Cost to Consumer

Washington-Th men who advise
industrial workers and farmers to
produce more will find large oppor-
tunites for their genius III a report
en- marketing issued by the United
States federal trade commission.
1t is shown how losses accumulate
in the careless and useless handling
of foods, in the inefficient packing
and transporting to markets, through
scattered railway terminals, from
markets badly located and poorly
equipped, and because of inadequate
storage and delivery facilities.
The report states that careless
handling, improperly equipped cars,
delays in moving and exposure while
foods are in railway transit to mar
ket, cause large and unnecessary
losses and expenses to dealers and
shippers; that railway terminals are
usually scattered, that they are not
properly equipped with cold, heated
and dry storage to prevent deter1-
oration before perishables can be re-
moved, and that often they lack facil-
tiles for the quick and safe handling
Of foods.
Buildings and other facilities for
the marketing of in the vast major
ity of wholesale receiving centers," J"
it is stated, "are entirely inadequate,
are generally badly located with
reference to terminals, storage and
retailers, are often congested, and are
invariably ill-adapted in construction
and arrangement to economical mar
keting.
GAS a consequent of the location of
markets with reference to terminals,
storage and retailers, large amount
of carting is necessary. Congested
and poorly paved streets, long dis
tances, ill-equipped conveyances all
make for useless expense and large
losses of foods through deteriora-
ton"

Strike "VOIunteerS"
Produce Little Coal

Kansas City, Mo.-At the conven-
ton Of the United Mine Workers,
district No. ID, Kansas delegates en-
liveneo the proceedings with the
story of Governor Aliens volunteer
army that was intended to produce
coal last fall, when the nationwide
coal strike was on.
Governor Allen first called on the
union coal miners to break their own
strike, and when this failed he called
for volunteers. About 1000 respond
ed. Most of the volunteers were en-
ployed about three weeks, and were
guarded by about 1000 soldiers. The
state executive knew enough about
the dangers of digging coal in deep
mines, for he put his army at the
strip, or surface mines, where a man
can dig some coal without being a
miner.
The total of Governor Aliens
venture as miner was 5000 tons in
three weeks. President Howat, Of
district No. ID, compared this three
weeks output with mines in Illinois
where 5000 tons is produced in one
day.
The cost of producing the Kansas
coal was enormous and will probably
be paid by the state, together with
additional costs because Of the con-
dition in which the mines were left
by the amateurs. Steam shovels and
other machinery were destroyed.
Many of the volunteers contracted
colds that in some cases developed
serious illness.
All these features Of the army
were overlooked by the governors
publicity agents, who pictured the
state executive as national bene
factor.

LOng-HOur Employers
Cause French Strike

Paris-Employers are attempting
tc nullify the eight-hour law, passed
by the French parliament, and nation
wide strikes are the result.
In analyzing these movements, j..
Lapierre, assistant secretary of the
General Confederation of Labor, said:
Because of the continued increase
in the cost of living, and the refusal
Of the employers to increase wages,
workers in the coal, textile, metal,
printing and other industries have
been compelled to strike in order to
secure wages which will enable them
to support their families in decency.
Employers have taken advantage
Of the increased cost of living to at
tempt to nullify the eight-hour day.
Everywhere they have said to the
workers: we admit that your wages
are not sufficient. Our solution is
for you to work additional hours
"Take the textile strike in the
Roubaix region, where 100000 work
ers are out. After a careful investi-
cation the commission on the cost of
living reported in that district a
family of four persons-the parents
and two children-cannot buy the
necessaries of life for less than 5000
francs a year ($1,700), The COM
mission declares that the cost of these
necessaries has increased 366 per
cent since 1914. Wages, however,
have not risen to any such degree,
and the textile trust refuses to pay
a living wage unless these employees
work extra hours for the increase.
This they have refused to do, and
with solidarity that is magnificent. )"

BiSbee MObber Poses

Tombstone, Ariz.-At the trial Of
Bisbee mobbers Harry c. Wheeler,
former sheriff, testified that he was
responsible for the deportation of
1.20O workers from Bisbee in July,
1917. The witness said he did not
know who paid the expenses of the
mobbers, and he did not give orders
to his deputies that the men who
were rounded up prior to deportation
should be asked, care you willing to
go to work ?"
The former sheriff gave negative
answer to this question:
"Did you know that 62 of the men
shipped out were soldiers and sailors,
that 472 were registered for the
draft, that 205 of them had bought
liberty bonds, that 520 were sub
scribers for liberty bonds and that
266 were property owners in Bis
bee 2"
The witness acknowledged that he
took no record of the men whom he
deported and that he did not know
their marital or other legal status.
He stated that the selection of the
men to be deported was left largely
to the initiative" of his deputies,
who were acting under his general
instructions" as to the class of men
to be run out of Bisbee.
The prosecution called attention to
a report on the mobbing by a com
mission appointed by President Will
son. This commission said:
"The deportation was wholly il
legal and without authority in law,
either state or federal"

charity, these three; but the greatest
of these is charity. Cor. XIII:13.
The Community Chest is a propo-
sition, which, if properly conducted,
the writer would deem the most hon
orable, American and christianlike in
character Of any project ever pro-
posed. 1t is for the purpose of aiding
the various philanthropic organiza-
tions of America and not for the
purpose of aiding foreign nations
while the people Of our own land are
being depressed and desolation is in
evidence everywhere.
The Community Chest should re-
ceive the cooperation and support
necessary to fill the Golfers of the
worthy organizations to overfowing,
providing the millions Of people in
America are as loyal and patriotic as
they pretended to be during the war,
and if the writer's and orators will
devote as much time and effort to
make it success as they did to aid
Europe through the war chest and
the Liberty bonds, and the large
manufacturers who were lauded to
the skies for their loyalty in turning
their mills and factories over to war
work and compelling their employees
to buy Liberty Bonds and to give one
days pay a month to the war chest,
America will be promoting the prin-
ciples Of christianity and Ameri-
canism.
The writer is not familiar with the
work done by all the organizations
which will be benefited by the fund
obtained by the Chest, but if all are
as great benefit to the community
as the Salvation Army, the Public
Library and the Y. NJ c. A. they are
deserving of assistance. The influence
Of these organizations is phenomenal,
their value incalculable.
Thousands Of boys are growing up
around us-bright, manly little fell

ignorance and improper training, will
take the course which wrecks their
lives? At sixteen, playing truant,
smoking cigarettes; at twenty-one,
