LABOR AND HIGH PRICES

Organized labor is getting credit for Q good deal of the high cost of living for which it is not responsible.
 While it is true that labor is high, the labor unions are not altogether to blame for this and the skilled la- borer who belongs to the union was not the first one to get high prices for his work.
 Let us go back to the time when the United States entered the world war.
 Something like four million of our young men, flowers of the country, were taken out of the ranks of pro- ducers and placed in the army.
 This alone created a shortage in labor, and coupled with the demands for building cantonments and the big orders for ammunition, there was not labor enough to supply the demand.
 The government paid big bonuses to contractors to get certain con- tracts through in a specified time and let the bars down in regard to the wages to be paid.
 In order to get the work done the contractors began to offer fabulous prices, as high as $1o to $16 a day for labor and men began to flock to the ammunition plants, the ship yards and the army camps from all walks of life.
 Clerks quit their jobs. Men left the farms, attracted by the high prices and other employers of labor had to raise wages in order to com pete with the government contrac- tors. By this means an artificial value was given to everything which was produced.
 Men who were making $50 to $10C 3 week, where previously they had not been drawing that much a month began an orgy of spending and shop keepers, finding they could get any pElce they asked, began to put up their prices. This condition was soon reflectd throughout the country and it did not suside when the war ended and government contracts were cancelled.
 If, when the selective draft was made, the government had drafted every available man and put those who were not fitted for army life at work on the government contracts at the same pay the soldiers were get ting, the orgy of high prics would never have become so acute.
 But to lay the blame entirely on organized labor is manifestly unfair.

WRANCLE's FORCES COLLAPSE Many of His Troops Captured In Cri- nea, But Bolshevik Losaes are
 Heavy

Paris, Nov 15.-The foreign of flee estimates. that the Bolsheviki had captured between 15O,0Qo and 200,- GOO of Gen. Wrangle's troops in the Crimean drive, but the Bolshevik losses druing the fighting were enor- nsous.
 A dispatch from Berlin says that the Russian government has demand ed Gen. Wrangle's immediate surren- der, promising amnesty to Wrangle and his troops.
 Reports from Sebastapool state that that city is the scene of wild decacle since the downfall of Wran- gle and the harbor is filled with yes sels of all descriptions, from war vessels to row boats, engaged in car rying human freight away from the Red wave.
 Gen. Wrangle's army is in a state of collapse and the Bolsheviki hordes are sweeping on the city.

 0.FF .FF LEAGUE
 0F NATIONS
| AMY NATIONS REPRESENTED
 AND IMPORTANT PROBLEMS ARE TO BE TAKEN UP.

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. b. The League of Nations Assembly met today amid the ringing of bells and aa.utes by the populace.
 More than 100 delegates were present when the session opened in the leagues new home at Il o'clock. These delegates represented forty two states, with over half the worlds population.
 The delegates gathered in the spa eious hall for the first formalities and flags of nearly every nation were displayed. The Serbian fIag was frequently m mistaken for that of the United States and there was great deal of comment over the feel- ing that the Unia-l States would be represented in tn 2eting.
 M. Paul Hymans, 22.s.am premier, opened the session ly r1ading Pres ident Wilson's convocation Premier Motta of Switzerland responded, vel coming the delegates and comment ing on the hopes of the ieague.
 After the appointment of com mittee on credentials and a few oth- CT formalities the session adjourned until the credentials committee had formulated it's report. The interest in the report of this committee is centered largely on the credentials of Lord Robert Cecil, appointed as delegate from South Africa There is some question whether, un- der the terms of the covenant, a nation can send other than a citizen as delegate
 Probably enc of the most ticklish problems the assembly will be called on to sett.e' is likely to be proposed to the league by Peru. Chili and Bolivia. It is the Tacno-Africa boundary controversy. Both the Pe- ruvians and Bolivians have made known their intention of submitting the question to the League for settle ment. It is expected Ghiii viii ac-i quiesce. ]
 Since the Seventies, the question of who owns Tacna-Arica has worried of South America. More than once has war threatened, and in fact Chili actually declared war on Peru and in the Treaty of Ancon gained possessiol of the disputed province. A plebecite was set for ten years later (1883), but for sev- eraI reasons the will of the inhabi- tants was never allowed to be ex- pressed. Since then a crisis has ap- peared on many occasions, but, ai- though no diplomatic relations are maintained between Peru and Chili, there has been no war.
 Of most interest to the United States, perhaps, in view of the fail ure of that nation to enter the Lea que, is the assembly's attitude to- ward the Root -Phillmore Internation- al Court of Arbitration, proposed by a committee of world jurists under guidance of Elihu Root, former Sec retary of State under President Roosevelt.
 Inasmuch as several European na- tions are opposed to the unlimited powers of the court, as the United States is to the unqualified Article Ten of the Covenant, considerable debate is expected before the courts constitution is finally approved.
 That the court will certainly be established is assured by action of the League council in approving of the plan for formulation of a per manent court of international justice. Mainly the mooted questions are what form s will take and to what extent nations will adhere to it's de- cisions.
