DAVIS PLEADS
WITH WORKERS
NOT TO STRIKE
Urges That Disarmament
Principle Be Extended
to Industry.
SCORES LIVING WAGE

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. ia plea to the
workers of America to stop the battles
and the warfare in industry" was voiced
here today by Secretary of Labor James
J. Davis in an address before a mass
meeting.
Disarmament is not solely a problem
for a conference at Washington" Davis
declared at is something that reaches
to the very hearthstone in the home of
every man and woman in America. 1t
has been said at the Washington con
ference that the first requisite for peace
is the viii to peace. Let us have that
viii to peace, not once in a while, but
every hour of our workday life.
SAYS STRIKE Is
BACK NUMBER.
Let US say to employer and employe
IN their own words, 'disarm-in the past
the strike may have been the only means
men have had to gain right wages and
working conditions. Now the strike is
becoming a back number. The time is
coming when it will be regarded as a
relic Of barbarism. hate both the strike
and the lockout. Both are always the
separator, never the cOOperator.
I am vastly mistaken if our people
have not already come TO hate industrial
warfare as bitterly as they detest the
bIoodier but not more cOstlier conflicts
Of battle
Cancellation. the labor secretary said, is
the great need in American industry. He
reviewed the work undertaken by his
department at Washington in endeavoring
to end industrial disputes and outlined
his plans for adding to his staff Of con-
ciIiators. Fifteen or twenty men, Davis
said, trained to act as mediators between
contending groups, will be a godsend
TO the country, as practical leaders TO
peace in industry"
.BETTER WORK"
AND MORE OF 1T.
Pointing out that the workers of
America were in competition with the
workers of the world, Davis said the
slogan Of American industry should be
= increase the quantity and improve
the quality. Better work and more OF
it."
'I have always said and I say again -
the secretary declared, that l am against
the living wage. It is not enough. That
is why I am against it. 4 merely living
wage is a beggarly allowance from a
public as rich as ours TO a worker as
skilled and thrifty as our American wage
Garner.
'The employer who begrudges decent
psy," Davis said, lis in the same class
with the other restrictionists who de-
mand endless duplication Of effort, end
less classification of workers.
awhile human nature remains what it
Is, the lion and lamb may never lie
down together in industry. But we must
never give up the struggle TO make them
better natured about il. We can have,
we must have, more peace in industry.
We must have, we can have, so little Of
open fighting that 1t amounts to moth
ing"

During the season of Christmas
shopping, great care should be
taken to avoid colds that are
likely to result in grip and pneu-
monia. The excitement Of the
time, the sudden change from the
close and suffocating air Of the
big stores to the street, are all
dangerous.
The value of Father Johns
Medicine in treating and prevent
ing colds, grip and pneumonia,
has been proven by over 65 years
success. It is a pure and whole
some food medicine-builds new
flesh and strength to fight of
colds and grip. Its gentle laxa-
tive effect drives out impurities.
Father Johns Medicine is guaran-
teed free from alcohol or danger

HOOSIER CITIES
OPPOSE MERGER
OF Z UTILITIES
Public Service Commission
Asked to Refuse Permit
to Consolidate.
10 OBJECTIONS OFFERED

protest against merger of seven In
diana electric utilities into the Indiana
Electric Corporation was raised today by
attorneys for civic bodies and cities af
feet ed.
Charging that the merger would result
in rates higher than those prevailing
during the war, Samuel Ashby, corpora
ton counsel for the city of Indianapolis,
filed a petition with the public service
commission asking that It refuse to per-
NIT the consolidation.
The commission tomorrow will hear
arguments on an amended petition of
the corporation asking that it be allowed
to combine the utilities into a 100000
venture under which it proposes to estab
lish a central power plant in the Indiana
coal fields for the transmission of cleo
tricity over high tension wires to various
parts of the State. The companies in
volved are the Wabash Valley Electric
Company, the Cayuga Electric Company
the Putnam Electric Company, the Elk
hart Gas and Fuel Company, the Valpa-
raise Light and Heat Company, the Indi-
ana Railways and Light Company and
the Merchants Heat and Light Company
These objections were set forth by Mr..
Ashby:
l. The commission has no authority to
receive an amended petition after case
is once closed.
=. The total amount Of the proposed
stock and bond issue proposed to make
possible the merger is in excess Of the
actual valuation Of the property.
3. The physical value Of the properties
involved is important and no action
should be taken until they are appraised.
4. Value of the properties is higher
than the valuation for purposes OF taxa
ton, which in turn are In excess OF the
physical values.
5. There is no reasonable relation be-
tween the proposed issue Of stocks and
bonds as required by law.
8. The net earning would be insufficient
to pay the fixed charge under the pres
ent rates charged by the utilities.
7. No provision is made whereby the
corporation would be able TO raise dol
lar to construct the central plant in the
coal fields.
8. The proposed merger would render
valueless the Independent generating COM
panies involved which would greatly re-
duce the value of the present properties.
8. There is no natural relation between
the companies involved.
10. If the merger is authorized, It's
rates necessarily would be higher than
tho war time rates.
Mt. Ashby had the moral support of
attorneys representing the cities Of no
komo and Elkhart the organized power
users Of indianapolis and the Exchange
Club of Clinton, he declared.
Fred Bates Johnson, attorney for the
city of Kokomo, said:
1.-The proposal stands substantially as
it did before on substantially the same
basis. The public service commission de-
cided the basis was all wrong. The pre-
sumption Of the petitioners in again
coming in on the same basis is remark
able"
