have been thoroughly perfected and
the interest of the public in the pur-
poses of the campaign aroused to an
extent that was hardly believed pos
sible at the outset of the movement.
From all along the route of the John
Barleycorn airplane funeral special,
which is touring the southeast in the
interest of the campaign. comes re-
ports of enthusiastic receptions. The
airplane chartered by the dry forces
to spread "dry" propaganda through
out a large portion of the southeast
ern territory, left Atlanta Sunday,

seas flyer and carrying as passenger
John Goldstrom of the publicity
headquarters in Atlanta. This novel
method of calling the attention of the
public to the aims and purposes of the
prohibition enforcement campaign has
created such general interest that
moving picture concerns have filmed

COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION
Army Officer Says that
United States Must Prepare
to Meet the Issue
tAssociated Press1

Washington, Jan. 19.-Commercial
air navigation is coming and the Unit
ed States must prepare to meet that
issue, declared Colonel VIM. C. Hens
ley in a report to the Air Service, u.
S, Army, from Germany, where he is
studying dirigibles.
@'''4 4Ai1ships are now possible in any
kind or condition of weather." Colonel
Hensley wrote. "No weather condi-
tions, except a strong cross hangar
wind, prevent the "Bodensee." the
commercial air liner built since the
armistice. by the Zeppelin Airship
Corporation at Frederichshafen on
Lake Constance. from making its
daily fight 1890 miles) to Staaken, Is
miles from Berlin.
"The design of the Bodensee is the
latest in airships, so far advanced
over everything have seen, that one
is led to express the opinion that, in
airship construction (and operation
as well), all other countries are mere
babes in the woods compared to the
Germans.
"Our airship construction and ope-
ration should be patterned after the
most efficient system. There is no
doubt in my mind that that system
lies in Germany.
Commercial air navigation is COM
ing and we must meet that issue very
soon. Let us be prepared to choose
our course so that we shall make as
few mistakes as possible. The build
1rare of fhn or~
cial enterprise in Germany has meant
numerous heart-breaking experiences.
millions of marks have been lost
in the beginning, and lives of mem
bers of crews have been lost. but let
| it be said, to the eternal credit of the
man with the fixed idea and of his
subordinates, that not single pas
senger carried on a Zeppelin airship
has been injured or killed-and to
date the total carried has reached the
, SUM of 100000"
"This statement does not mean that
casualties will not occur. Irresponsi-
BILE boys can take airships in the all
! and bring them down in flames in the
heart of a large city, or careless offic-
ers and men may explode dirigible

spectators; but we can at least con-
duct our service along scientific
known principles. that can be obtain

man methods. and thus minimize the
number of disasters.

SPOT of all the world for commercial

MORAL VICTORY
Rests With Steel Strikers In
Their Big Fight

Pittsburg, Pa.-The "a internation-
al unions will stand their ground and
fight Judge Gary every foot of the
way, says w z. Foster, secretary Of
the steel strikers committee, in a
statement issued after the steel strike
was called off.
"In the face of the supposedly lost
strike" said Foster, ct would seem
strange to speak of the high prestige
that the steel unions have. But such
is the fact nevertheless. The steel
strike leaves little or no sense # de
feat and bitterness with the workers.
Oppressed and downtrodden as they
have been for so many years, the
trade unions were the first to make
a real fight for them. 1t is .rue the
strike did not lead to clear-cut vic
tory, but what of that?
A wonderful thing has been done.
The great steel industry, the despair
of unionists for years, was organized
in the face of the steel trusts bitter
opposition. Every big mill in the
country came to standstill on Sep
tember %.
1.-The impossible has been achieved.
The citidel of the United States steel
corporation was captured, even
though it could not be held for long.
And what has been done once, can be
done again, and more effectively
''No one familiar with the situation
can deny that the prestige Of the
unions is now higher than ever be
fore in the steel industry. Mr.. Gary
may claim the material victory, but
the moral victory rests with the
unions

SO-CALLED high"
WAGES LAG BE-
HIND FOOD COSTS

Washington Taken collectively,
the trade union weekly wage scales
in this country advanced 80 per cent
from May Is, 1913, to May IS, 1918,
according to the United States bu-
reau of labor statistics.
In July, 1918, the bureau reported
that during the five-year period May,
1913, to May, 1918, the price of food
as a whole advanced 63 per cent.
The government thus shows that
wages advanced 80 per cent and food
costs advanced SO per cent during the
same five-year period
These statements Indicate how cor
rect is the claim that "high labor
costs" is responsible for present high
prices

new STEEL CAMPAIGN

In most of the great organizing
campaigns of the past resulting in
strikes in which decisive victory has
not been gained, it has been the prac-
tice to drop the work, close the Of
fees, withdraw the organizers and
wait for the next opportunity. This
frequently did not occur for ten or a
dozen years.
In the steel campaign a radically
different program had been decided
upon by the international unions that
have carried on the great cooperative
effort Of the past year and half.
Now that the active phase of the steel
strike is at an end, it is proposed to
being developing the next phase, at
once.
Offices are to be maintained and the
organizers viii stay on the ground.
Efforts will be Immediately started to
perfect the organization of the local
unions that were formed during the
big drive, and in a few months time
it is believed the steel workers will
be in better shape than Just preced-
ing the strike.
The spirit being shown among the
strikers is without a parallel in the
history of the labor movement They
are confident and aggressive They
feel they have won victory over
the greatest combination Of capital
ever organized. They have stopped
the great steel mills. They have
made the nation give ear to THEN
grievances. They have seen THEN
story told in magazines and from the
great public forums. They have seen
leaders in religion, social reform and
public affairs espouse their cause
They radiate an atmosphere Of self
confidence.
