WHAT'S THE CHANCES?

The appointement of Mr.. George
Sohngen as receiver for the Cincin-
natl & Dayton Traction Co. and no
better appointment, so far as the good
and welfare of the stockholders and the
creditors are concerned, could have
been made, nor could better man
to fill the job be found in this broad
land of ours) was received with glad
acclaim by the whole of Hamilton.
Not because of concern for the trac-
tion campany, not only because of the
kindly feeling for Mr.. Sohngen, but
the appointment of Hamilton citizen
to have charge of the traction com
pany's affairs has started the local
people wondering what effect and
whether or not this didn't mean that
Hamilton stood chance Of big i'm
provement in its street car service.
That was one of the big reasons for
the expressions of gladness over the
appointment of Mr. Sohngen as re-
ceiver for the company If any one
knows the needs and conditions of the
local street car lines, Mr.. Sohngen
does. And if he doesn't, we have the
confidence and faith in Mr.. sohngen
to believe that it won't be long until
he does know all the deficiencies of the
road And we firmly believe that if
there is any possible chance of better

The Sperry Service Business Bull
letin in its October 25 issue, has the
following interesting article on price
cutting in the West Especially are
the figures on foodstuffs interesting:
elimination of big profits in many
commodities is under way in all sec
tions, and the West is having its in
nings. For the present the cuts of IS
to 25 per cent in clothing, 10 to 20
per cent in shoes, 20 to so per cent
in cotton goods, l6 to 35 per cent in
lumber, 10 to 26 per cent in furniture
and trifies in the menu list of the
highest priced restaurants and hotels,
coupled with reductions in automobiles
are about all that have been made
The reductions bring to light the abil-
ity of the wholesalers and retailers
to secure big profits, and to the cas-
ual observer the question Of what is a
fair and reasonable profit
Sugar has dropped to Is cents a
pound and under at retail Flour is
off nearly $5 per barrel from the high
est war level, wheat is off over 81
per bushel from the top war price.
Butter and eggs are close to the rec
ord levels, and are being sustained
largely by spectators. In normal
times small profits are enough for the
average merchant and manufacturer,
while in abnormal times the question
of profits is a debatable question, as
high prices necessitate greater risks
and are in measure admissible.
One factor that is noticeable is the
increased disposition on the part of
workers to use more common sense
and more money is being saved than
heretofore and more work is being
done by reduced forces. Employers
are wedding out the slackers and
those who are left are speeding up,
not only in the factories but in the
office.
F. E. Harris, head of F. E. Harris
& Co, Los Angeles, Cal, large whole
salers of food staples, advanced
group of mighty interesting figures
including some remarkable price de-
clines which, he said, have not yet
reached the consuming public, for the
reason that the retailer is still selling
goods purchased at the higher prices.
However, he added, prices are being
lowered every day in retail stores.
Within sixty days the consumers
grocery bill will be cut in half. If it

City council has been petitioned by
several men for franchise to operate
iitney busses over several of the
streets in Hamilton. This is a matter
that council should go very slow on.
Everyone knows Hamilton's exper-
ience in street franchises. We are
tied UP with one now, teeth, toenail
and hair, and Hamiltonians are made
to feel that they are lucky for the
privilege Of treading the same streets
controlled by those owning the fran
chise Therefore council should go
very, very slow in the matter Of grant
ing more franchises. And why should
ANY franchise be granted to operate
jitney busses? The investment in
volved doesn't amount to a whole lot
and why shouldn't ali those interested
be willing to take the chance Of MAX
ing profit without being granted a
franchise? Another thing, does grant
ing franchise to those applying for
it mean the barring Of the home man
for a stranger? There are several
home men operating busses, and they
should be protected and given first
consideration. Of course there should
be some regulation, and while the
Press is not in favor Of granting
franchises, vet, should council do so,
it shouldn't be for a term Of more
than one year until it is seen how the
plan works out. At that, the home
man should be given first considera-
tion. co SLOW

FOR THE WORKER AND AGAINST
NO ONE

The labor movement is for the work
er and against no one. Trade unions
are not hostile to employers, and are
not inimical to the interests Of the
general public. Trade unionism seeks
to raise the status Of the worker 1t is
a constructive humanitarian movement
and its only enemies are the enemies
of justice and right. Employers who
are willing to recognize the workers
right to a voice in the determination of
their remuneration and working condi-
tions, are ready to testify to the value
Of trade unionism as a stabilizing force
in any industry In this regard Lord
Northclife recently made the state
ment that the trade unions of Brit
ain were the greatest force in preserv-
ing stability and order that existed in
the old land. Others who have studied
the principles Of unionism have simi-
larly expressed themselves, including
the late w. e. Gladstone, who one time
made the observation that trade
unions are the bulwarks of modern
democracy The trade union That

So skillfully has the campaign of
the enemies of labor been conducted
during the past two years that the
organized workers have undoubtedly
lost something in prestige, influence
and power They have not, however,
yet been reduced to the state wherein
the confidence of their enemies in urg-
ing the legal destruction of unions is
justified. Nevertheless, these are crit
ical times we are passing through
times that make it of vital import
|ance that every member of union pay
more than ordinary attention to union
Jas well as political affairs. The apathy
of the average member has doubtless
been contributing factor toward in
creasing tn frequency with which
employers launch attacks upon the la
Dor movement, just as it has served
to convince them that they can sue
ceed in their efforts to destroy all
unions through the instrumentality Of
legislation, This apathy again has
prompted the insane radical, both
within and without the labor move
ment to redouble his efforts to gain
control. The most effective way to
curb all these nocent elements is for
all members to take an active interest
in the conduct Of union affairs. The
results to be achieved are well worth
he effort.

Owing to the lack Of alcohol in the
watermelon, it is much in favor with
the clergy and can be shipped into

toner TO swear that it is bought for
medicinal purposes only.
Watermelons are grown largely in
the South and are used to sustain and

is not. then the retail grocers will be
profiteering. And by January 1st pre-
war prices should prevail on so per
cent of food commodities.
Food supply houses throughout the
country" continued Mr. Harris, 'are be-
ing forced to reduce their prices almost
daily in the face of enormous stores of
food being offered to them on every
hand, and large dealers are afraid to
buy except from hand to mouth, be
cause prices are declining so rapidly"
Here are few comparisons based
on the schedule of three and four
months ago and that of yesterday.
Ten per cent gross is said to be
fair margin between wholesale and re-
tail prices, but check of retail prices
seems to show considerable varia-
tion from this basis.
On July 1st rice was selling whole
sale around Ia cents per pound. Yes
terday the same grade of rice was
Z cents, and new crops due in Novem
Der and December are expected to re-
duce this to 5 cents. Rice at retail
is from Is to 20 cents per pound.
The price of coffee has dropped so
per cent in three months Some stores
have reduced the cost on standard
makes from $3.50 cents per pound to
around 40 cents per pound. But green
coffee, wholesale, is selling for Is
cents.
Spices have dropped 50 per cent
wholesale in three months. The re-
tail decline is about 10 per cent.
Salad oil dropped SO per cent whole
sale. The retail decline is almost neg
Hgible.
Dried fruits have dropped 80 per
cent wholesale, with a retail decline
of from 10 to Is per cent.
Canned goods have dropped 25 per
cent wholesale on an average Some
retailers have made slight reductions.
Others are awaiting new consignments
before doing anything radical in the
way of price-cutting.
! Canned milk is off II per cent
wholesale, the first reduction not
ed in dairy product This has not yet
found reflection in the retail markets.
/ Sugar has dropped from a high of
26 cents to IA cents wholesale and
will in the next sixty days fall to 10
cents if present indications are borne
out. Because of closer buying sugar
prices are somewhat more susceptible
to the downward trend The retail
price of sugar yesterday in the down
town stores was is cents, ranging
from / to cents higher farther out
Eastern flour has dropped several
times recently and family patents
were selling yesterday at some II the
middle western mills under S12. Pa
cifc coast flour has not fallen quite SO
sharply, but the tendency is downward.
Nothing is heard Of lower-prieed bread
or bakery products
Cheaper automobiles and silk shirts,
and shoes and apparel and eommodi-
ties are very desirable, but the food
market is more important to most Of
us, and even after giving the dealer
the benefit Of every doubt and exten-
sion, to permit the moving of old
stock, it is about time to begin to ex-
pect, in view of the condition Of the
wholesale market, a definite decline in
the high cost of living.
