k!Eifd.-- American Aid for
/ Starving Russians May
StartinsW Week
/ DISEASE WARFARE
: TO BE CONDUCTED
Cholera Has Broken Out
in Many Places and Is
Threatening

Riga, Letvia, Aug. 20, (By the As
soeiated Press)-The agreement be
tween the United States and Rlrssis
providing for Amrican relief Tor th'
famine striken districts OF Russia, wa:
signed at ll:3O O'Clock this morning
by Walter Lyman Brown, European
representative of the Russian famine
committee.
Russia is by the terms Of the con
tract made the beneficiary of a far
reaching program which includes not
only providing food for the people OF
the famine stricken Volga region, but
the combating of epidemics In dis
tricts where the American workers are
sent. The task of preventing the out
break of contagious diseases among
the fugitive thousands who have fled
from their homes and are streaming
over roads leading out OF the starya-
tion area would appear to be monu-
mental, and one that would tax the re-
sources of any organization. Cholera
has made its appearance in various
districts and there is many places in
danger of epidemics such as have In
the past swept away myriad victims
and reached distant parts OF the con
tinent.
1t is understood that when it be-
came known an agreement was almost
certain. orders were sent to Hamburg,
Danzig and New York directing that
relief ships be loaded with food and
medicines for use in Russia. The per-
sornel of the American relief con
tingent is believed to be, for the most
part, selected and actual work in Rus
sia may possibly commence in a little
more than a week.
Phillip Carroll, of Portland, Ore
gon, will, at least temporarily, head
the work of feeding the starving peo-
pie of Russia, a task the American
relief administration considers the
greatest it has yet faced. Walter /.
Brown. European director OF the ad-
ministration, announced to-day that
Mr.. Carroll would lead the first party
of relief workers, which probably will
leave here for Moscow on thursday
next. MIR. Carroll, who has been with !
the administration only two years,
made an excellent record by his work |
in Germany, South Africa aud Ser,
bia.
The other members of the first party |
will be John p. Gregg, of Portland,
Oregon, who has had experience with
the relief administration in Poland |
and Lithuania; +. G. Neurand, of
California, who comes from post in
Austria; Carlton G.. Bowen, Rhodes
scholar who was with the first Amer.
ican relief workers in Belgium and who
latterly has been in Hungary, and
Will G. ShafTrons of Denver, who
has worked for the relief admins
tration in Poland and Czeoho .Siova-
Sia.
Mr.. Brown will return 10 London
with his secretary leaving Captain
John Miller, head of the relief ad.
in the Baltic states. the
of the task Of handling the
Riga base.

if there are great strikes called in many
parts of the country within a few weeks,
ostensibly for the retention of present
wage scales. but in reality for the pur-
pose of holding the unions intact as
fighting organizations.
The more the reactionary employers
fight their men, the more the latter will
hold together and the sharper the bar
gain they will try to drive. The result
may be infinitely harmful to both, and
no less so to the innocent bystander, the
public.
Wages by rights should be reduced as
the cost of living falls, in every occupa-
ton where they were raised in fair
measure with the cost of living during
the industrial boom. If the principle of
adjusting wages to rising costs is right,
it must apply also to falling costs. There
is always room for question as to the
degree of increase or reduction, but
there should be none as to the principle
involved.
There should be just as little question
of the right of workmen to organize and
bargain collectively. Industrial evolu-
ton and political progress, one would
suppose, have gone too far for that right
to be assailed seriously.
The only way that a disinterested OBJ
server can see by which capital and la
Dor can avoid getting into an awful
mess during this reconstruction period is
for both of them frankly to recognize
these two principles and proceed to APP
ply them in spirit of sensible compro-
mise.

THE REAL IMMIGRATION
PROBLEM.

The solution of our immigration prob
lem will be very easy, providing two
things are DONE" says immigration Com
missioner Wallace. "Our inspectors and
doctors must be permitted to select the
immigrants we want at the ports of en-
barkation abroad; and we-not the inn
migrants-must determine where they
will be allowed to settle
These are the main conclusions that
nearly everyone who makes n serious
study of the immigration question, comes
around to, sooner or later. Still, the So
luton is far from simple, because, after
the experts have worked it out, there
remains the battling problem of getting a
complex congress, swayed by a thousand
conflicting local influences, to understand
the solution and agree to it. Congress
itself is the real immigration problem.

Too Large Place for Harvey.

to Mr.. Atkins at last asking for job on

WAGES AND RIGHTS.

The typical union workman cares
more about his union rights than he does
about his wage scale. One is a matter
of principle and the other a matter of
business adjustment. Too many employ
crs are overlooking this rather obvious
fact, and thereby inviting trouble for
themselves and the community.
1t should be recognized by the en-
ploying class that employees would be
found much more reasonable regarding
wage reductions if they did not know or
suspect that their unions are threat
ened. Several large corporations are ac-
tually engaged in a deliberate effort to
crush unionism in their plants, and the
movement is so widespread that the or
ganized workers are naturally alert and
resentful. 1t need occasion no surprise

He Did His Duty.

(St. Adams Messenger
The American people expect their of
ficers to do their duty honestly and fear
leSsly, but because a man has done only
what is expected of him is no reason
why words of commendatiOn should not
be bestowed upon one who has shown
himself trustworthy in a striking way.
For this reason The Messenger wants to
pay its respects to Deputy Collector of
Customs Webb and to Collector Comings
and the whole customs force for such n
demonstration of high morale and hon
est performance of duty. 1t is easy
enough for the thoughtless TO cast refec-
tions on the customs force because liquor
is all the time Seeping in over the front
Ter. but as n matter of fact in this dis
trict. at least. such reflections are I'M
merited. Mr.. Webb is not in possession
of the fifteen or more thousand dollars
which might have come to him. ubt he is
the pOSSeSsor of something that is of in
finite more value-the good opinion and
confidence of his fellow citizens who adj
mire strength of character and strict
allegiance To duty.
