HIGGINS MAKES
REPLY TO WALSH
He Puts God Given Rights to
Work" First.
EXPLAINS OBJECT OF BILL
Declares Industrial Court Would
Only Take Away Right to
Cause Suffering to
the Public.


Topeka, Jan. 10.-Labor-s protest
against the industrial court bill In
the house of representatives closed
yesterday, apparently without max
ing even so much as dent in the
supporters of the measure.
j. 7. Sheppard of Fort Scott, speak
ing as one of the attorneys for the
American Federation OF Labor Oc-
cupied all the forenoon session with
an argument against the bill, and,
until the middle Of the afternoon, he
sustained a running fire of questions
from members. Sometimes the ques-
tions ran into a joint debate, with
vocal fireworks for trimmings.
Huggins Answers,
1t took W. L. Higgins, Of 1Smporia
who drafted the industrial court Dill,
little less than two hours to ans
wer the arguments against the mea-
sure delivered thru eight hours by
Frank p. Walsh, of Kansas City, and
]. /. Sheppard of Fort Scott. Many
members of the legislature said
lHuggins' argument was convincing
Huggins took the floor yesterday
afternoon a little after 3 O'Clock, fol
lowing Sheppard. The attorney for
the unions had praised Governor Al
len, admitted the good intent Of the
measure, and eulogiZed Alex Howatt
as an altruistic, patriotic citizen,
while condemning his actions in the
coal strike.
God Given Right to Work."
In the course of his address Mr..
Higgins said:
81 am offering this free advice to
organized labor: Throw out the reds
or come out from among them.
Now about this God given right
to quit work, to strike, about which
we heard so much yesterday. The
God given right to work comes first.
Under our present Industrial system,
Will lHe slIlht anu liC lothVui' lhN
God given right to work is denied,
not by law. but by organized labor. :"
After pointing out that there had
apparently been wide disagreement
among the opponents of the measure
as indicated by the difference in the
attitude taken by Shepard and Walsh
in regard to it, Higgins declared:
THAT speech yesterday about en-
shaving the workingman, preventing
his leaving his ditch digging to write
poetry or music or otherwise advance
himself, is all poppycock. The idea
that anyone would seriously suggest
such a law is preposterous. 1t would
have been thrown out of the window
before it had reached second reading.
1 repeat, the gentlemen have not dis
cussed this measure at all.
ANY employee can quit at any
time for an honest purpose. But it
is forbidden to strike to cause suf-
fering and distress to the public-to
transgress on their rights. The bill
does make that unlawful, but pro-
vides that the workmen shall have
their rights adjusted without need
less suffering and loss Of their own
wages while the settlement is being

lectures for the women. for babies dis

DR.. Ida Kahn, In a recent appeal to
modern Chinese women said, Let our
women of education In PekiDg and
elsewhere gather themselves together
to work for the schools, Red Cross and
Y. w. G. A, and everything else which
bespeaks the betterment of the coun-
try, instead Of staying at home to play
poker and sparrow. and going out to
attend endless dinners, tea parties and
dances
LET us rally our forces and help the
ship of state to move safely. One per-
son cannot accomplish much, but one
or two hundred millions of women can
work wonders. Let us go back to a
more Spartan-like simplicity of living
and let us build up social service until
every city In China is sanitary, every
section of the town has its proper
schools, and every child, whether boy
or girl, is sent to such schools. True
social service brings democracy IN its
train. and we who are citizens of a
new republic can help to make 1t truly
great by preaching and living democ-

is quite hopeful when we consider
that she is just emerging into the sis-

depend upon US to bear the burdens OF
the day, for nowhere Is there more
Industrious, diligent and perseyering
womanhood than in China"

Town BOYS and girls can get high

These are questions that are fre-

Now. of course, it is impossible for

Campaign for Grape Culture
Grape culture in Mississippi will
be specially emph asized by the
home demonstration workers, ac-
cording to announcement made re-
Gently by Miss Susie V. Powell, in
charge of this corps.
A spirited campaign along this
line last year resulted in several
small vineyards. A similar drive
will be made this year. Meanwhile
all home demonstration agents are
giving instructions and demonstra-
tions in the utilization of the grapes.
Grape juice, grape paste, vinegar
and grape Jelly, now made for home
use. will be standardized for the
market by the fall of 1920.
Miss Mary E. Johnston. State
Agent in canning, has just returned
from an interstate conference on the

Again the Census

Again Uncle Sam wants TO know,
you know. That is the explana-
tion of what might be deemed the
somewhat inquisitive questions that
will be asked today at every door
by the able questioners who will
call for that purpose.
Every ten years that awful and
occult power at Washington, popu-
larly known as The Government"
and supposed by many persons to
have been supernaturally ordained
and inspired to perform miracles,
but which really consists of an un-
known lumber of gentlemen des-
perately holding on to pay roll
with one hand and performing the
simplest tasks in the most difficult
way with the other. Every ten years
the Government, as required by the
Constitution, takes a census, and
1920's the year. About all the av-
erage American eyer learns of the
census is the number of persons
enumerated by it. We shall hear
in few weeks or months what the
new population of the United States
is-and at guess it will be around
ITO million. But counting noses
is only a small part of the informa-
ton sought. 1t will take ten or
twelve big volumes to hold the an
swers to all the questions that will
be asked.
The immensity of the undertak-
ing alone. the writing down and as
sembling, the adding and printing
and binding, to say nothing of the
ingenuity of the gentlemen who
think up all the questions, is quite
enough to give everybody proper
sense of awe. But aside from all
that we really do owe it to ourselves
as we'll as to the Government to re-
gard the census with seriousness
and to do all we can to help it
along. It's quite the biggest COM
pilation of figures and statistical
information ever attempted. The
old Domesday Book of William the
Quonquerer was nothing to it. Will
liam, we suppose, was chiefly inter
ested to find out how much land
there was in England that he could
give away to his Norman mobiles.
Our compilers have more useful
purposes in view. They will find
out how many Americans own their
homes. what they raise on their
farms, how many of them can read
and write. how many of-them are
married and what their occupations
are, how many congregate in the
cities, and generally everything that
goes to show what progress we are
making as a nation in the way OF
prosperity and culture.
So let's meet Uncle Sans ques-
tion man with welcome and conf
dence and tell him everything we
know. suppressing go far as possible

don't know about our neighbors

Wo0dmen Discussing Change in
Rates


When is a rate adequate and
| when not?' is the question that
seems now to be agitating the MEM
| bers of the Woodmen of the World
in this State.
Yesterday session of head camp
officers was held in this city at
which the newest rates were dis
cussed and resolution adopted de-
claring that the Mississippi dele
gates to the Chicago convention
had acted for the best interests of
the order.
This morning a meeting, said by
gentlemen present yesterday. to be
authorized. will be held at the hall
of the House of Representatives.
While nothing is known of this ses-
sion it is understood that several
who will be present are opposed to
the increase asked.
Present yesterday at the meeting
of the head camp officers were; A.
B. Schauber, Jr., Past Head Consul;
Bob Kelly. Head Consul; W. l..
Maxwell, Head Advisor; G. M.
Crane. Head Banker; J. w. Maui
din. Head Clerk; J. r. Skillman.
Head Escort; w. r. Stringer, Head
Watchman; u. l.. Miller, Head
Sentry. and s. l.. Cain, Sovereign
Sentry.
The officers, after hearing great
deal about insurance rates, ETC.,
adopted the following resolutions:
Jackson. Miss, Dec. %, 1919.
Whereas, 1t has come to tho
knowledge of the Head of the Camp
officers and delegates to the Sow
ereign Camp that an effort is being
made by certain individuals. both
within our State and in other States,
to SOW seeds of discord and prOmul-
gate strife among our members; and
Whereas, 1t is evident that such
efforts are being prompted by men
who are using the readjustment
plans effective January l. 1920, as
basis for political aspirations; and
Whereas, The information thus
given out to our membership is not
based on the facts as they exist;
Therefore be it resolved. By the
Head Camp Officers and Sovereign
Delegates of Mississippi in session
here assembled, that we unqualf-
edly condemn such action as is liable
to confuse members of our society
and thus produce distrust and re-
bellion within our ranks.
Resolved further. That we endorse
the action of our delegates to the
Chicago convention, believing that
they acted for the best interest of
our entire membership and for the
preservation of our society. and
complied with the laws of Missis-
sippi and other States in which we
operate.

ton and our unqualified support of

Law

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 8.-The
South Dakota bank guaranty law has
demonstrated that it is one of the
most successful measures of the kind
in operation anywhere in the United
States. 1t has proven a success, both
from the standpoint of the depositor
and the bank.
In the only three cases of failure Of
banks during the five years it has
been in operation, all the depositors
were paid in full. John Hirning, sta
te superintendent of banks, figures
that the cost of operation of the law
has amounted to only $17.14 per year
for a bank having 100000 in de-
posts:
In the cases Of the failure Of the
three banks during the five years the
bank guaranty law has been in eff.
feet, the depositors, in addition to be.
ing paid in full, received interest or

PACKERS CUTTING
PRICES OF MEATS
Consumers Still Paying
Top Notch For
Products

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-Hogs on the
hoof have returned to what is prac-
tically their 1913 pre-war price, judg-
ing from figures at wholesale are on
their way toward that same level, the
monthly report of the Institute of
American Meat Packers indicates, and
have reached the scale prevailing in
April, 1917, when the United States
entered the war.
Beef also Is on the downward path,
the wholesale price Of carcass beef
having dropped seventeen per cent
since September l, according to the
institutes figures.
The biggest drop recorded, however,
is in live hogs. The packing house
figures show pork IN the hoof brought
eight cents q pound in November,
1913. During the war the farmer was
guaranteed a minimum of II 1-2c In
July, 1919, the price reached % cents
a pound. Today hogs are back around
10 cents.
Retail Prices Remain Up.
Retail prices, however, have not
kept pace with the falling wholesale
market, the packing house official said,
but he declined to be quoted directly
on the subject on the ground that
retailers might boycott his company.
The meat packers institute bulletin
for November says that during that
period the wholesale price of pork
loins declined 81 per cent, making a
total drop Of As per cent since Octo-
Der l. Other declines on November
20, as compared with October 1 of
this year, shows smoked hams, 80
per cent; fancy breakfast bacon, Is
per cent; standard bacon, Is per cent;
fresh skinned shoulders, 80 per cent
and lard, 10 per cent.
