Eat more fish, was one of the slo-
gans of the war, and numerous gov
eminent bulletins emphasized to the
whole country the specially healthful
and palatable qualities Of tuna fish
until 1T has become, even in these few
years, almost a staple product of ma
tional consumption.
Tuna fish are caught and canned or
otherwise preserved chiefly along the
coast of California, where an I'M
portant new industry has been start
ed by their increased general popu-
larity. The tuna fish comes to the
California coast in great schools dur
ing certain limited season of each
year, the fishers and canneries be-

THE MOVIE HATERS

Superior beings, how they sheer
When movies are the theme.
Mention Miss Pickford and they jeer,
There's not a star they deem
Worthy of praise, or photoplay
At which they do not balk.
How do the critters get that way?
I'm weary of their talk.
O Movies! | am different, I
Am mindful that you bring
Real blessings; till the day I die
Your praises I shall sing.
You keep my family out at night
Where they can't bother me
When that | sit me down to write
My deathless poetry. EDAR.

No Sugar ProGteering
Moreover. rot only is there no
shortage Of sugar, but il can be very
definitely said that the producers o.
sugar are not pro,iteering. For every
detail of their costs and selling
prices is on file in the United States
Department of Justice. One practical
authority on sugar conditions, who
would not allow himself to be quoted
said in July that he estimated" that d.
rectly and indirectly strilcs were cost
ing the American people er Is cents
on every pound of sugar. they buy
Certainly the definite facts and fig
ures seem to indicate that this esti-
mate is conservative.
These specific facts as to the cf-
feet which strikes and strikes alone
have had IN increasing, and often IN
creaing cxorbitantly. the price OF
every kind of food product can be
multiplied again and again. The
strike itself may be far away and
at an entirely different time from the
increase of price, yet be directly re
sponsible for it. The strike may be
for only few days duration, yet di-
rectly increase the price Of whole
seasons output
Helping the Crasshopper
Michigan frequently has a grass
hopper pest IN July, against which
farmers protect their crop By a spe-
clal spray. This year railroad strikes
around Chicago prevented this spray
ing material from being delivered, and
Michigan farmers in the Lansing dis
trict alone lost their root crop to the
extent of 100000. Of course the
consumer viii pay for this loss in
the high prices of bects and carrots
and turnips next winter
The railroad strike at the big dis
tributing centers held up material
with which fruit growers all through
the Middle West spray their trees in
May and June. Three months later
the fruit crops in these sections were
so limited and poor that all of US had
to pay January prices for fruit right
through August and September.
And parallel examples OF how strikes
have been the direct and sole cause
of definite and big increases in prices
of meat and butter and rice and eggs
and milk and practically every other
necessary of life could be cited almost
indefinitely.
Does Labor Reolise2
Moreover, it must be clearly under
stood that all these represent only
the direct effect of such strikes, and
only strikes which have had direct
and traceable effect on prices. The IN
