Tells Other Complaints
Captain 4.aning asserted that while
in the spring Of 1917 only about one
half the Navy ships had even peace
time crews and that naval officers
generally complained that the great
est need Of the service then was men.
the Department went on record
against any incrase in personnel.

heavy sums of money was indicated,
Captain Laning said. by a converse

Admiral McCowan said: do you re-

PATCHED As: CRAZY QUILT
ARE WORDS, WORDS, WORDS

The Annalist. leading financial
paper; features, an article by Edward
A. Bradford. In. which this. crazy
quilt ARRANGEMENT OF words, words,
words, is presented:
Admitting the hardships of two
million railway workers through un-
derpayment, the hardships through
the. .underpaym Of the railways
are greater. There are scores of
millions of sufferers through depre-
citation of railway securities, and re-
duction of incomes from them. Such
sufferers are innocent and helpless,
more helpless than even unorganized
workers. They are the victims of
both officials and strikers, and are
entitled to protection against both,
regardless of the profit or loss Of the
defense.
Nothing could be more heartless
or immoral than the position of the
strikers. who care not how many
starve or freeze provided their wages
may be raised. No one asks them to
stay in the service. or blames them
for withholding their labor power.
That is their right. and the necessary
labor must be attracted to the indus
try by bettering conditions of en-
ployment.
Labor should improve it's. indus
trial position by all fair means, and
the acceptance of higher wage is
q family mans duty. But it is equal
IL the worker's duty to earn the wage
he demands. and to allow a free field
for those who are willing to take the
wage he declines.".
