Then into this world of working people came life's
most binding custom and abor's most ancient law:
"The laborer is worthy of his hire
Two things are in that law.
The first is the dignity of manhood 1t is not labor
but the aborer that steps to the front 1t is not labor
that makes the man respectable, but the man that
makes labor respectable.
The individual before the system. Any scheme of
society whether put forth in the of capital Of labor
that ignores degrades the individual is vicious. Labor
unions have their but they than useless when
their members become the victims of system Capital has
Its rights but capital has no rights that are in advance of the
rights of the laborer
The takes precedence Of the machine Labor exists
for him rather than he for labor
Let labor project its reforms along this line promoting
and maintaining the fundamental rights and essential dig
nifty of the who works Let the laborer lift his work
with himself.
The second thing in this ancient law is compensation
What shall be the scale of wagesg How is the hire
regulated? On what principle the question of pay to be
adjusted? Here the aborer steps to the front again. You
cannot buy him. Manhood is not for sale You gone
In awlessness the labor question If you think the wage
you pay gives title TO the soul of the
He worthy of his 'hire He stand on his and

and cents. Ii is manhoods reward That decent lv

STOCK DIVIDENDS TAX
MAY BE REQUIRED

A tax on the privilege of issuing
stock dividends will be recon-
mended to the House by the Ways
and Means Committee. it was indi-
Gated by members of the committee
last night.
Discussion in executive session
yesterday of the proposal of Repre-
sentative Green. Republican, of
Iowa, that such a levy be made,
developed a strong sentiment in its
favor. A majority of the commit
teemen, IL was said, believe this tax
could be made retroactive.
BY applying the levy to past is
sues. it is thought, the loss sus-
tained in the refunds which must
be made under the Supreme Court
decision that stock dividends are not
taxable can be recovered.
The committee decided to call be-
fore it Thursday Solicitor Lawrenc.
Becker and other officials of the
Treasury Department to go over the
entire situation and get complete
detailed information.

U. S. MAY SEIZE
OILFOR SHIPS
Navy Receives Bids on Only
$4,000 Barrels Of the
100000 Needed :
PRICE STILL SOARING
Estimates by Two Com
panies More Than ESQ
Per Cent Advance.

The governments position as re-
CARDS fuel oil reached q crisis yes
to-day when the Navy Department
received bids on only $4,000 barrels
of 100000 barrels that will be
needed at East coast ports alone.
and those at prices more than ESQ
per cent above the present contract
price of 50 cents.
The situation created. which af-
fects not only the Navy Department
but the Shipping Board, War De-
partment and Interior Department
as well, renewed the suggestion yes
terday that the government would
either commander the oil needed
subject to an adjudication of the
price or that President Wilson,
through his powers under the Fuel
Administration, would declare an
embargo on the export of oil and
insure a supply for domestic needs
at a reasonable price.
Demand Exceeds supply.
The government at the present
time has an untitled need of more
than $1,000. 900 barrels of oil. The
Shipping Board, which has esti-
mated its needs for the coming year
at 100000 barrels, has been able
to get bids for only 100000 bar
rels. and these at a price ranging
from 50 to 50. The oil which was
offered the Navy Department today
was 100000 barrels by the Texas Oil
Company, at S4.20 a barrel, and Co.
600 by the Standard Oil Company, at
1856 a barrel.
The situation which is said to
confront the oil producers of the
United States Is that the demand for
fuel oil in this country is far larger
than the supply.
Rumanian Production Low.
Production in tie Rumanian fields
and the Russian Baku district has
rot been resumed on anything ap-
rroaching pre-war capacity.
Efforts to reach an agreement
with the American producers al
ready have resulted in a series of
interdepartmental conferences.
lt was said yesterday by officials
who have followed the. course of
the negotiations that the President
still has full power under the war
time legislation. creating the Fuel
Administration to handle the sit
uation and that it was extremely
probable that the entire matter
would be referred to him for set
tlement IL the producers continued
to refrain from submitting bids to
meet the requirements of the gov
