FOOD SMUGGLING

Illicit Traders Become Bold

Vienna, Feb. 2S.-Smuggling of
food and other necessities or lux
rries becomes a daily increasing
scandal in this hungry city.
AS the crown approaches the dis
appearing point in value the OPP
erations of these illicit or left
hand traders become holder and
more extensive. 1t is an old story
lew that anything can be bought
for a price in Vienna. The only
new phase is that the price goes
up daily. While the city finds it
difficult to supply the bread ration
Of a loaf of coarse black stuff. the
component parts of which it would
take a chemical analysis to de-
tCrmine, at nearly double the price
Of early autumn, white flour can
hc bought ''by the lefthand" at
about 100 crowns the kilo (of 2.2U
pounds).
American and Argentine timed
corned beef can be had, but deliv-
cred to ones room its costs about
50 or 90 crowns the pound. Whine
loaf sugar from Czecho- Slovakia is
available at a price that means
about one weeks wage of the av-
crage office man or woman for a
kilo.
Venison, mutton chops, goose,
GuCk and other meat are here but
they represent three figures of
crowns for one portion in restaur-
ants. Seventy thousand persons
fought for $4,000 pounds of salt
meat in a market sale the other
day.
For such things as shoes to
order, tailored clothing and similar
things, the price is no longer quot
ed in crowns. The dealers charge
in dollars, pounds sterling or
flames, although this is Illegal.
They say they must pay in foreign
nroney for materials and cannot
sell in crowns. The correspondent
bought a suit in october for 1900
crowns. This week the same tailor
asked the equivalent Of 5000
crowns in pounds sterling.
In the shops price marks have
cen removed from articles. The
whole retail trade is trying to ad-
just prices to foreign exchange and
that fluctuates so rapidly that each
sale is calculated on the days quo
tation from Zurich (the Swiss
frame rate governs local quota
.tions).
When the passenger train serv-
ice throughout the country was
suspended for ten days the bills of
fare in the restaurants and hotels
furnished evidence of the extent of
the smuggling business. Not only
did most meats disappear. as well
as green salads. but the prices went
up correspondingly Motor cars
are scarce and gasoline government
controlled so even the accomplish
cd and resourceful smuggler found
himself at loss.

COLO. TEACHERS

Commission to Recommend
to Governor That LeglSla-
ture Enact a Law Provld-
ing for Higher Salaries.


Denver, Colo, Feb. 2S.-,-The Colo
RADIO teacher is coming into her own.
It may be a couple of years, be-
cause the legislature must act, but
today's development indicated that
the taxpayers have no objection
to increased salaries for instruc-
tors of the states youths.
The commission recently appoint
ed by Governor Shoup to investi-
gate the shortage of teachers in
Colorado schools held an open
meeting today. The commission
sought to get opinions from teach
ers and others regarding reasons
for the shortage and as result
the following recommendations
were decided upon:
Minimum salary of 81, 200 a year
for grade teachers and $500 for
high school teachers.
Increase in pay each year for a
flve-year period for teachers show
irg fitness and remaining in con-
Inuous service. The increase
would be 1920 a year for grade
teachers and $3.50 for high school
teachers.
Provision by communities for
suitable living quarters for teach
ers at a reasonable cost.
TOday's meeting was called
largely to learn If a proposal for
Increased pay for the teachers
would meet with objection from
taxpayers There was no objection
and the commission planned to
submit its report to Governor
Shoup with recommendations that
the next legislature be asked to
enact the recommendations into
law.
The yearly increase, it was said,
was designed to place a premium
on fitness and special training for
the teachers. 1t is hoped that the
advantages to be gained from
continuous service will insure bet
ter organization of the teaching
staff and prevent disruption by
higher offers from other communi-
ties.
In many districts Of the state
it was found, the scarcity Of teach
ers had compelled closing of the
schools or limitation of tho school

time to be consumed by the labor
board, and while the bipartisan
board is functioning, the appoint
ment and organization of the labor
board can be expedited.
Il cannot share the apprehen-
sion of yourselves and your con
stituents as to the provisions of the
law concerning the labor board.
believe those provisions are not
only appropriate in the interest of
the pubic which, after all, is prin-
cipaily composed of workers and
their families, but will be found
to particularly in the interest Of
railway employees as class.
The argument that the public
representative on the labor board
will be prejudiced against la
Dor because drawn from classes OF
society antaGonistic to labor car
and, ought to be overcome by Sc
lecting such public Representatives
as cannot be charged with any pre-
iudices. Not only must public rep
resentatiyes be selected who can be
relied upon to do justice, but the
bill itself provides that the labor
board shall establish rates and
wages and salaries which in the
opinion of the board are Just and
reasonable, and it is further pro
yided that the entire labor board
shall he guided by the very impor-
tant standards which are provided
in the law, those standards includ-
ing the wages paid for similar
kinds of work in other industries.
the relation between wages and
the cost of living the hazards Of
the employment, the training and
skill required, the degree of respon-
sibility, the character and irregll-
larity of employment, and the cor
rection of inequalities as the result
of previous adjustments. Coupled
with the direction to the labor
hoard to take into serious consid-
Grafton these important standards
is the highly important direction
to the commission to prescrib
rates sufficient to admit of the
payment of the reasonable operat
ing expenses, including, of course,
fair rates of wages.
MY hopes are that the putting
into effect of these provisions with
q carefully selected labor board
whose public Representatives can
be relied upon to be fair to labor
and tc appreciate the point of view
of labor that it is not longer to be
considered as a mere commodity,
but will mark the beginning of a
new era of better understanding be
tween the railroad arrangements
and their employees and will fur
nish additional safeguards to the
Just interests of railroad, labor.
81 am sure that every agency
which will be involved in the crea-
ton of the labor board and in the
conduct of negotiations fully ap-
preciates that the wage demands
are entitled to the earliest possible
consideration and disposition, and
therefore, / do not anticipate delay
in the appointment and organize
ton of the labor board or in the
other necessary steps"
In vesting Mr.. Hines with the
powers granted to the president by
the bill, Mr.. Wilson made one eX-
ception. The president will himself
later name the agent or agency of
the government against. whom suit
may be brought to satisfy ti9ims
arising out of government control
of the roads as provided in section
200 of the act.

When Mr.. Parker Mason. n shrewd
and level-headed millionaire of the
United States. was on the point Of
dying few years ago he conceived the
quaint idea of having rehearsal Of
his own funeral service i'm his bed
room. He called in Presbyterian

church choir, and the full service was
rehearsed i'm his presence and that Of
his family and number of his friends.
The clergyman preached an eloquent
and touching sermon on the virtues
and charities of the dying man, and
the choir sang appropriate hymns. At
the conclusion of the service, which
the millionaire had followed with the
closest interest and attention, he warm
ly complimented both clergyman and
choir on their performance. and after
Diminishing them sent for an under
