THE BEST COOK.

Dr.. Harvey W. Wiley, the celebrated
pure food expert and apostle of Gu
genics, says that Henry Ford IS ma
chine-made cowless milk will not do
He claims there is no artificial sub
stitute for the real thing,
"1t may have body" he saws
"but it would have no soul.'' That
is an expression quite characteristic o.
Dr.. Wiley. Being interpreted, it means
that it would lack the life principle.
1t might contain all the elements that
a chemical analysis shows and still be
minus that elusive something which ma
ture puts in, and which we can only
call 1tlife.''
The process of sterilization which was
hailed with enthusiasm a. few years
ago was found to be Of restricted value
because in killing the germs it also
destroyed this life principle.
The same thing holds good in al!
natural foods. Raw vegetables and
fruits, straight from the soil, contain
tho elixir Of life.
People are learning that after all, ma
ture is the best cook.

to place the real issue before the peo-
pie. The newspapers are closed against
him. If he could tell his story calmly
and dispassionately, if he could throw
the light Of truth on all the secret
methods used to discredit him, an out
ragged people would call for judgment
upon the heads of their traducers. The
open shop which the employer covets
is the closed shop against all organized
labor and collective bargaining. The
first step in this fight is to repudiate
all contracts or schedules agreed to
between the employer and accredited
committees of employees and to SUBJ
stitute an arbitrary ruling Of the en-
ployer. While the employer suavely
announces that he has no objections
to his employees joining unions, it will
thus be seen that his objective is the
destruction of these same unions.
Should the employer have his way the
employee might just as we'll join a sui
eide club as a labor union, and what
is more to the point, he has virtually
done this very thing when he submits
to the employers idea of the open
shop.
When will this trickery, born of self
ishness, ceaseo When will men see
clearly and act honorably9 These ques-
tions must be answered and these
problems must be solved.

GENTLEMEN, BE FAIR.

All our life in the labor movement
we have been advised by our friends
and well-wishers to be fair. And we
have tried to be fair We have urged
our associates to be fair, for we have
all along believed that in the long run
it would pay.
So let us all be fair! That's the
slogan! Among the unions now or
strike is the bricklayers'. This union
insists upon wage scale Of $1.25 an
hour. The employers hold that 81 an
hour is sufficient. They are trying to
put the lower wage scale into effect
and on jobs they figured to pay brick
layers at the rate Of $1.25 an hour.
Take the city water and light de-
partment job. When that job was let
the scale for bricklayers, admitted by
the contractors, was $1.25 an hour
Now they propose to cut the wages Of
bricklayers to. 81 an hour. But they
do not propose to give the city the
benefit Of such reduction.
The bricklayers claim to have been
more fair when they raised their wages
to slips an hour. They only insisted
on the increased ware 81 jobs not then

mistakable signs of reaction set in be-

all remember the gathering of the wise
counsellors in Washington who sat upon
the labor question in general and dis
cussed the merits Of the eight-hour

child labor. an equitable wage, but
above all, of collective bargaining. Re-
member-this right had already been
clinched. Therefore the real purpose
Of this gathering was not understood
by the people at large. Labor had
fought for and won the right to bargain
collectively. Just exactly what this
meant was well understood by both
sides to the controversy. Yet this
gathering in Washington presumed
upon the intelligence of the people by
taking up this vital question, ostensibly
to recognize principle, but injecting
such clauses and jokers into the word

cffrontery is thus offered the worker
by these men in counseling among
themselves on the advisability of rec
ognizing collective bargaining when it
has already become fixed rule. A
paradoxical situation confronts the
| worker. In times of war he enjoys
industrial peace, and in times Of peace
he suffers industrial war. In other
words: when the employer scents war
and dreams of his selfish interests
therein, he casts the industrial whip
aside and substitutes honeyed words
and generous promises.

HOW FARMERS ARE ROBBED.

An ounce of fact is worth a pound
Of theory.
When the price of wheat slumped
some months ago, the spokesman Of
"Big Business told the farmers tina:
the trouble was due to falling off OF
foreign demand.
The farmers started an investigation
and found that more than 2O0,OOO,OOC
bushels had already been exported and
100,000,000 bushels had been purchased
for future delivery.
This was S0,000,0o0 bushels moro
than our estimated surplus.
Then the spokesman of "Big Bust
ness'' presented another excuse.
Purchases of wheat for export, they
said, had been made by the British
royal commission III such a way as ia
eliminate competition and hold down
prices.
Again the farmers started on the
trail of the facts. They found:
The export price of wheat during
November, 1919, averaged 1921 q
bushel.
For the same month in 1920 the
average was 1921.
The average price received by the
farmer in November of 1919 was $l.7O
bushel.
The average price received by the
farmer in November, 1920, was about
$1.00 a bushel
The European buyer paid 80 cents a
bushel more for wheat and the Ameri.
can farmer received 20 cents less.
Somewhere between the American
farmer and the starving millions OF
Europe some one took an extra "rake
off, OF one dollar a bushel on approx,
mately 3oo,o0o,ooo bushels of wheat.
1t is estimated that $60,00O,000 Of
this went to the railroads in increased
freight rates under the Cummins. Esct
law.
The remainder. was pocketed by the
profteers who control the banks anG
manipulate the grain exchanges.
And still there are men who wonder
why the Nonpartisan League retains
its hold on the farmers of the middle
west.

THRIFTLESS MARYLAND

In the year 1906, the state of Mary
land transferred title to an island in
the Patapsco river at Baltimore to a
private individual for the sum Of SIS,
The following year two other islands
nearby were sold for $3j each to two
other individuals. These islands are
merely banks of mud. The purchasers
made no other use Of them than to sell
them later for several hundred dollars
profit. The new purchasers have also
made no use Of the islands, but this
year, IA years after the original sale
OF the first island, the city of Balti
more, believing the islands essential TO
plan of port development, took an
option on all three, and the price
agreed upon was $215,ooo. Of this
sum $4,000 was for the first island
and 100000 for the other two. In
other words, when the state parted
title with these islands it conferred
the power on private parties to levy
upon the earnings of the people of
Baltimore to the extent Of $4,000 in
fourteen years. In this there is moth
ing unusual. There is inexcusable pro-
dlgallty in every transfer Of publicly
owned land to private individuals.
There is inexcusable prodigality every
day that state or nation continues to
permit appropriation of communal val
ues. This is the kind of extravaganza
which is keeping the great bulk of the
American people in poverty.

jobs the contractors had previously bid
on. They gave their employers a square
deal.
Is that what the contractors are
handing to the bricklayers today? They
have no moral right to reduce wages on
jobs that they figured the union scale
on. They are merely taking advantage
Of the employment situation to turn
the screws on the bricklayers. They
are not playing the labor game square.
