Big Business Triumphant So Far, Says Royal
 Meeker

Cincinnati, O, April 10.---In "the preliminary skirnishes" of the threatened industrial war, "big busi ness" has beaten its rival, the trades union, Dr. Royal Meeker. commis. sioner of labor statistics of the de. partment of labor, declared in an ad- dress today on the cost of living be- fore the City club in which he urg- ed cooperation against the most promising defensive weapon of the people in the struggle against high prices.
 By a carefully planned and law ishly financed campaign of misrep- , reeentatie Dr. Meeker declared "big business has successed in map,- nifying the defects and obscurinr or discrediting the benefits of pub licity controlled and managed en- terprises. The people have been ban1boozled into relinquishing all eff fective control over distribution anf prices of food and fuel and they have. been made to appear to clamor for the return to private management of the railroads, the telegraph and leleDHOHe lIHSS ana Cno fau1O sta tions. Congress instead of for mulating a progressive constructive program to restore industries and especially agriculture to a stable peace time condition is pursuing the policy of 'scuttle' with most unhap py results"
 Contrary to the popular belief Dr. Meeker said, profiteering was the result and not the cause of hipl, prices. Increase of prices, of cur rency and decrease in the quantity of goods. The profiteer was the result of these conditions.
 Since the country, according to Dr Meeker, possesses no comprehensive program for the reduction of the cost of living the people "are turn ing to cooperation.
 While waiting for government to formulate some constructive policies to encourage and speed up produc. tion, to reduce the enormous cxpen. ses of advertising marketing and transporting goods to control and equalize the distribution and the prices of commodities and if neces sary to take over and operate tn, industries" Dr. Meeker declared "The cooperation of workers and managers in production, distribution and conservation promises large re suits in the campaign to bring dowr high prices than any other thing"

THE TEACHERS

ONE OF the great problems of the
~ day seems to be gaining too little
consideration of II great part of the
citizens. That is the teacher prob
iem-the scarcity Of efficient teachers
in the schools of the entire country.
and the rapidly detcriorating quality
of the available supply Thousands of
schools in the United States have been
forced to close the past year because
there were no instructors to be had.
and from present indications many
more will suspend unless something
lis done very soon. Countless numbers
of the most efficient of the school
teachers of the land have quit their
jobs because they were NOT getting Il
living wage; many more are likely to
seek different employment for the same
reason. AZ IA result the vacancies are
in many instances being filled with
underdone tutors who need yet few
more years of schooling themselves.
They doubtless do the hest they can:
but that will not do.
In another part of this paper will he
found an article dealing with the sit =
uation in the city and county. From
a perusal of il you win hc able to form
an opinion of the cause of the teacher
shortage. From II you should also get
an idea of what is necessary to ppmcdy
the situation.
There is no alternatives: teachers
must he paid higher wages and Il
start in this direction should not he
made gradually if the matter is to be-
corrected before IL becomes too late.
Hike the salaries to what they ought
to he right nov. Don't simply agree
with us and say II ought to h" done.

school board. and see if Nnu cannot
