h CHICAGO, July 17.---Another polit-
zeal movement, the Liberal party, was
launched yesterday by former members
Of the Committee of AS, who bolted
rom that organization.
Judge Arthur G. Wray,5 mayor of
York, Neb, and Allen McCurdy, key
note speaker at the, Forty Eight con-

persons, some so to 60 in number, who
signed its call, and all other Forty
Fighters were excluded from the hall.
Lester Barlow, leader of the World
War veterans, attempted to make an
address, but was invited to leave. He
threatened to call still another con
vention
II have never seen so many nuts
collected in Chicago as during the past
few days" Barlow declared as he
marched out.
A. w. Kicker, chairman of the Chi
:ago Committee of rs, also was asked
20 leave when it was discovered he had
Tot signed the call.
McCurdy announced that the princi-
al purpose of the gathering was to

of its consummation.

vigorous operations for erecting their

Mr.. Isaac Allen furnished the floor

Montague Falls, Mass, are to furnish
the brick. The labor of excavation
was commenced the 18th and the whole
work will be pushed forward with en-

beautifully enriched and adorned for

The Remedy.

Speaking of the housing situation, New
York financial review says: Most of our eff
forts have been directed at profiteering land
lords. and. while this policy meets with the
approval of an exasperated community, it must
be admitted that penalties and fines and re-
prisals do not add to the number Of houses.
Committees have been appointed and have sent
in reports, but rents keep on soaring and the
housing shortage grows apace"
High, rents are merely the result, the fruit,
OF the house shortage The remedy is more
houses.
The Chicago Real Estate board places the
blame for this house shortage upon the stead
lily mounting prices of building materials and
labor. The former increased 21O per cent
since 1914; labor went up 10 per cent.
Canada has done something more than in
vestigate. The Dominion loaned $4,000 900 to
the provinces for house building. Loans are
made to building associations agreeing to
erect homes at dividend profit not exceeding
& per cent
Once people were given to the pounding
