The hosts of friends and acquaint-
ances of DR.. Orr Sanders will be
shocked and grieved to learn Of his
demise on the 18th of this month. In
an extraordinary manner DR.. Sanders
made his appeal to people as man and
friend, as r%eliever of the physical dis
tresses and as a wise counsellor. Tho
influence hat he exerted in many df-
rections was none the less potent and
helpful because it was. quiet, n
tentatious. and often personal.
DIR. Sanders was far. more than a
mere practitioner or simply a resi-.
dent of Grand Forks. He was a prac-
titioner and a resident to be sure, hut
he was also a citizen who made his
influence felt in the direction of build
ing a safer and more competent city
and community. At various times he
served as A member of the city coun-
Gil and at such times he did far more
than fill his seat and register his vote.
he was a vigorous. constructive force
In securing improved food. water and
sanitary conditions for the people Of
the community. He was one OF the
prime V for the establishment Of
the municipal abattoir and exercised
wholesome influence in getting an
up to date plant adequately construct
cd and equipped. In like manner he
cspoused and supported the estab Iish-
ment of the municipal ~incinerator and
gave OF his time u%nstintedly t. max
ing It 4. success. and to placing the
city dump-Erounds in a ~prcsentable
and inoffe nsive condition. He vas
an ardent believer in securing a sani-
tary milk supply for the city and did
much to provide adequate ordinances
for he control OF tubercular cows ard
of the effective testing Of milk and
cream relative to bacterial and butter
fat contents. None but his CO.
workers in the council and his wife
will ever be able to appreciate the
time and patient effort he consecrated
to these and many otherihelpful conf
raunity' tasks. He was a loyal patriot
OF the local city and in his lamented
death the inhabitants Of the place
have sustained the loss of a a ctti-
zen and man.

STEEL TRUST FAILS TO CHOKE
 OFF NTERCHURCH EXPOSURE
TOUCH ON THE
 POSTAL CLERKS Threatened Because of Higher Pay Agitation They
 Appeal.

Postal clerks throughout Connecticut, and all over the country, for that mat ter, are much interested in the appeal made to President Wilson. against the latest evidence of autocratic control of its men by the postoffice department.
 This appeal is made by Pierce E.. Butler, president of the Chicago Postal Clerks Association, and Harry w.. Starr, assistant city prosecutor and former postal clerk, who have gone to Washington as representatives of the Chicago Clerks Union to secure if possible, court of appeals to act on what the clerks term unfair treatment and too much department authority" They also will endeavor to enlist the aid of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and national union officials i'll their behalf. The delegation's trip to Washington is the result of charges of 'unbecoming conduct" sent from Washington against 10 clerks who directed publicity cam paign for higher pay and better work ing conditions" in the Chicago post office
 The men were ordered to show cause within five days why they should not lose their positions. Postal clerks de- clare the charges and accompanying order unjust because no provision has been made for formal hearing.

A GOOD MOVE.
Virginia Employers of Children
 Taxed 10 Per Cent.

Virginia employers of children under IA years of age must pay the. federal tax of 10 per cent. on their annual prof its, despite the more 1enient provisions of Virginia child labor laws, which per- nit 12-year-old chi1drer 70 work in canneries when school is not in session.
 The United States Bureau of Inter nal Revenue announces that the state law affords no protection from the fed eral tax and that the federal govern ment will not accept state employment certificates to establish age. Employ CTS are cautioned to keep on file fed eral certificates for all children on their pay rolls for the inspection of federal agents. The federal tax is collectib1e, it is pointed out, wherever. children under IA years of age are employed at any time or where children between IA and 16 are permitted to work after 7 D. m.
 They might have called the so-called third party the Egotistical party, for it contained one-of the finest assortments of egotists ever brought together

Cost Is Up, Wages Down.

Food prices throughout the country continue to soar. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics gives statistics show ing that during the six months of this year the family budget has increased nine per cent. No relief is promised for the near future.
 Practically every staple commodity has responded to the upward climb On June Is the average family expenditure was two per cent. higher than on May Is. On May IS the cost was two per cent. higher than in April, and in April five per cent. higher than in March. Since 1913 the average increase is about 100 per cent.
 This means that workers who today are receiving in money twice as much as their service commanded in 1913 are working for reduced wages. It is a simple matter of arithmetic. To keep even and maintain his standard of 1iv- ing, the worker who in 1913 received $200 should now be receiving $400. Un- less they have received these increases, they are sustaining losses.
 As a matter of fact, there has been no real increase of wages since 1886 This IS not news to workers who are striving desperately to make ends meet, but is contrary to what many news paper economists have been writing for publication. The reader of the aver age newspaper might imagien that the workers are rolling in opulence. The average employer of labor sincerely be- lieves that he is paying much more than any worker is entitled to receive.
 But there is the report of the Bureau of Labor, showing with mathematical precision that in a very few, if any, instances, are the workers of this coun- try as we'll off now as they were s years ago. Certainly they are not as

LABoR's SONG.
Inspiring Verses Written by the
 Blind Machinist.

We are indebted to Brother Tipping of the Brick1ayers, Local No. 6, for the following verses which were sold by the blind machinist who recently visited the New Haven unions. They are well worth reading: Motto; United we stand-Divided we
 fall This is the song of Labor's golden
 right, This is the song of love, of truth and
 good, The song of all the Toilers and their. United in a world of brotherhood! Where we march on, to greater des-
 tiny Where we enjoy the short and earthly
 strife, All what this planet ho1ds-it must be So ever onward for nobler Life. Man plans inspired-urged by discon-
 tent Produces and achieves-don't stand And wait in -meekness with your body
 bent, And leave the Dlones upon their
 mighty Throne. Not you, nor I can storm Ford alone Which enemies with all their weapons
 hold As many drops will hollow any stone We must unite against the greed of
 go1dl The greed of go1d-which millions hold
 ens1aved- Which conquers all, what nature holds And Freedom is the price, for which
 we craved- The Song of Freedom ring from shore
 to shorel And men, who never dreamed, what
 they achieve, In mills and mines, in forest and in
 field Must all unite-no longer shall we If millions strong-we toilers never The mothers and their babes, the future

 tory walls, A shame to man-1ook in their paled Unite and stand-until this system

Will Ask More Wages.

While the transportation brother hoods have accepted the wage award, they do so with many reservations One of them IS that an immediate demand will be made for another hearing upon new wage schedule that will be pre- sented to the labor board
 Patient until patience has ceased to be virtue, the 100000 railroad work CTS cannot reasonably be expected to continue in losing business, especially since a plant congress has guaranteed return ot SIX per cent. on investment Labor IS entitled to just as much con- sIderat1on as are stockholders. It has moral right to present its new de- mands and to insist that they have early and favorable consideration, and the inability of the railroads 10 grant them will be test of the efficiency of private management.
 Industry that cannot maintain a liv- ing wage rate for its workers should perish. An underpaid and underfed citizenship IS not a good thing for any country. If the railroads will not meet an obligation. that impelling as we'll as imperative, it will be necessary for congress to intervene and provide a method whereby the workers can be certain of fair dealing and an oppor- tun1Ly TO QeVelOp ana maintain Amer1- can standards.
 Hundreds of thousands of railroad workers, with the recent increase of wages will still struggle under wage below the subsistence level It is es- tablished by various agencies operating independently that at least 5000 per year is the minimum wage for the main tenance of an average family in decent comfort. Very few railroad men re- ceive that sum; thousands of them will still receive less than half of it.
 Under the circumstances, enlightened public opinion will support the rail workers in their demands until they have gained recognition.

Philadelphia, Aug 6-Less output and more profit is the feature of a financial report by the American Loco motive company. The past six months the company produced no more than 35 per cent. of capacity and profits were $200,O00 in excess of profits during the same period last year.
 President Fletcher of the company expressed the hope that increased rail feet on the railroads, which will result in greater service"

1 WORKERS EXTRAVAGANCE
Efforts to Camoufage High Cost of Living Ridiculous.

Extravaganza is attributed as one of the principal reasons for present high living costs No! No! Not the extrav- agance of our nice people, but that practiced by working people The fact that workingmen and women dress nicely, and some of them owning au- tomobiles seems mighty troublesome, and for the want of better reason, it is said this is the cause of potatoes selling for more than $1 a peck, flour at $2 bag, eggs at 75 cents a dozen, 10-cent steak at 65 cents pound, and everything else in proportion includ- ing clothing at $50 throw and shoes at SIP pair Is 1t because people have

prosperous as they were in 1915
 The transportation wage board re- gently granted railroad workers an in crease of g per cent With other in- creases granted during the period of federal control, the average income of transportation men is probably 50 per cent. higher than in 1913. For similar services they today are receiving 25 per cent. less than they were being paid seven years ago.
 Workers will continue to ask for higher wages and discontent will not abate until wages are again level with living costs.

military service for all within the former military
age and expects willing response. although
the history of compulsory labor does not contain
much that is encouraging
The idea of the ministry of economies is that If
Germans between certain ages were willing to give
a certain number of years arbitrary military
service, from which they gathered nothing but
promises they should be willing contribute
one years work service. the results of which the
ministry believes fail to be beneficial to in

Iroval by the reichstag will be asked is somewhat
