URGE USAGE OF
 GOLDEN RULE

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Ending war and industrial strife by the ap- plication of the Golden Rule is the aim of a conference which will open here tomorrow with delegates pres ent from 25 nations.
 It will be the second meeting of the World Brotherhood an organi- zatfon with a membership of 6OO,OOC prominent laymen of Great Britain. Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor and
 William Jennings Bryan will be among the speakers.
 "As solution of the problems of the world we offer the teachings of the sermon on the Mount instead of the League of Nations" said Thomas
 Brotherhood Federation and secre- tary for North America. Until men are awakened to the fact that they are brothers and love one another with faith and understanding the League of Nations, nothing \ can
 bring peace into the world.
 Our mission, briefly described, is another crusade to create a new spirit of human brotherhood, a new faith in humanity and the great hu- man ideals.
 "We preach that the Golden Rule must be applied to the Germans and Bolshevists as we'll as to the ather peoples of the earth. The bitterness against them is not Christian 'The war, a terrible judgment on unbrotherly international life and | commercial relations, has opened the way to our movement in all parts of the world"
 Howell announced that he will propose Berlin as the next meeting place of the brotherhood. l As the largest part of our mem- | bership is British and French" he said, nothing would establish bet l ter feeling than to have our next con ference in Berlin. I have sounded | most of the delegates and they are with me on fhis'
 The delegates will be entertained | tonight at a reception al, the British | embassy.

PLANS TO TOUR
 THIS COUNTRY
By Donahey

BERLIN, Oct. 8.-Herr Kapp, who won fame through his i'll fated mon archist revolution in Germany last March, plans a speaking tour of the United States, according to Copen- hagen dispatch to the tAchtuhi Bbendblatt He is scheduled to lec- ture on political and industrial condi- tionS in Germany.
 The would-be king maker is quoted as expressing confidence he will have no difficulties passing Ellis Island be- cause he was born in United States Kappis is living quietly in Sweden. He at first had considerable financial difficulties as the German govern ment tied up his estate and forbade his son to forward money to- him. Kapp's junker friends in EasF Prus- sia however came to his rescue, raising a fund for him that is eS- timated at half a million marks.

BIG DROPS IN
 COTTON PRICES
RIG DROP

BIG DROP Des
 New York, Oct. s.-Poor reports from textile centers, renewed fears of a strike of BriXsh coal miners and continued excellent weather in the belt were chiefly responsible for @ drop of 10 to A points in prices at the opening of the cotton market to- day. Trade was considerably mixed early, but included more or less Southern selling and buying by Liver pool. Cables at first were weaker but rallied, being followed by an improve ment in the undertone here, after the call, mainly on purchasing by the trade.
 At the end of the first 20 minutes the market was about unchanged from the previous close.

labor's share had shrunk from three:
tenths to two.tenths Of tho consumer 4
price, while profit margins had risen
to a total Of more than one.half Of tho
cost Of sugar to the consumer.
Other commodities show similar re-.
lationship. The increase in tho price
Of steel billets, for instance, between
1913 and 1918 was $21.ee, a. contrasted
with the increase Of labor costs Of
$3.50. Corresponding figures for steel

profits, plus royalties, absorb 81 per

LABOR IS GETTING LESS.

1t is noteworthy that those papers
and supposed authorities who tell US
about labor being responsible for high
prices, do not give Us comparative cap
ital and labor costs for the past and
the present. The reason why they do
not do this, is that any approach to
the truth would expose their whole
case. Since 1914, in every important
industry controlled. by monopolists, the
proportion of the consumers price 60.
ing to labor has declined considerably.
Sugar offers good case in point.
In 1913 the total labor cost Of sugar
was approximately $1.6o per hundred
pounds, or slightly over three.tenths Of
the retail price. At the same time
profit items amounted to $1.26 per hun
dred pounds, or a little less than one
fourth of the retail price. Between
1913 and 1920 the increase in the price
of sugar was nearly eight times the
increase in labor costs. The profit
items absorbed over five times tho in
crease received BY labor. BY 1920

WINNIPEG ELECTS -FOUR.
men IN JAIL: TO OFFICE
There are only two days of explain

There are only two days Of explain
ing the results of the recent election
Of provincial parliamentary members
in the city Of Winnipeg. The thing to
be explained is that of the ten men,
bers which Winnipeg will have in the
provincial assembly, four. are men
who were accused Of seditious con-
spiracy. Only two are conservatives
belonging to the party which, accord
Ing to reports, was attempting to
save Canada from a red revolution,
and four are. liberals who stand some
what between the conservatives and
the labor group. Three Of the men
elected are in Jail.
Either at least half of the voters
in Winnipeg are in favor of the rev.
olution and like to be represented by
criminals, or these voters do not be-
lieve what has been said about the
Winnipeg strike Of year: ago, and
do believe that both the court and
the law under which the labor lead
ers were convicted violated funda-
mental justice; The first explanation
seems too far-fetched to be worth
anything. 1t is much. more easy to
belive that the hue"and cry Of dis
loyalty was set up in Winnipeg to
stampede the people into supporting
the profiteers. as has been done in so
many other parts of the world. The
men on the ground could see better
than we could what has been going
on and they have had some time to
think it over. Their opinion as ex-
pressed by their votes should be worth
more to us than all the noise of the
kept press. It is also significant
that our daily papers have had little
or nothing to say about this recent
Winnipeg election.

FREE EDUCATION.

Free education is the cornerstone of
America. A people to govern itself
must be literate. Its education cannot
be entrusted to private enterprise.
But education must be free-free to
tell the truth. It must not condemn
new ideas at the command Of narrow
political obligarchy. It must bring up
its boys and girls in the twentith CEN
fury and not in the eighteenth.
