an ver-inoreasing uproar about the

vailed.

The alternative is the payment Of

government has been paying sub
sides in large amounts; and more
than half the fleet Of ships is idle or

plan Of permanent aid to shipping

The program Of the Jones law is

When the consumer spends dollar,
here is where it goes, according to an
analysis made by Representative Sid
ney Y. Anderson. chairman of the
joint congressional committee on ag-
ricultural inquiry:
Cost of production, 81 cents;
For profit, IA cents;
For service, 49 cents.
According to Representative Ander-
sons calculations. service includes
packing, transportation, selling ex-
penses, insurance, rent, wages and
overhead. Representative Anderson
thinks that while some of this is nec-
essary. there must be something
wrong with a system that charges
one-third more to get commodities
to the consumer than it costs to pro-
duce them. He figures that this big
service charge will dwindle by NOV
ing consumers closer to producers,
building factories nearer the farms
and mines, and with farmers cooper
ating in organizations as other busi-
ness men do.

Make WAR ON WAR

FOrty-Eight Countries.
RAYMOND ROBINS SPEAKS
First Battle Is To Stop Inereas-

MRS. RAYMOND ROBINS SPEAKS

Geneva, Oct. 1.-THE Second In
ternational Congress of Working
Women opened here today, Mrs. Ray
mond Robins, of Chicago, delivering
the presidential address. Mrs. Rob-
ins spoke also as president of the Ma
tional Womens Trade Union League
of America which called the initial
congress in Washington a year ago.
Delegates from 4S countries were ex-
pected.
Mrs Robins told the women of the
congress that their immediate tasks
were to battle against war and un-
employment. She urged them to
sweep the government out of office
when lacking bread and security.
To Stop Increasing Armaments.
"Our first task as working women
of the world to which we here stand
war" Mrs. Robins said. THE battle
in that war is to stop increasing arna-
ments.
I'VE can, if we will, make Armistice
day this year in every land a day of
resolution and prayer to the end that
the Washington conference shall not
adjourn until some vital step is taken
toward the disarmament of the ma
tions. If the women of all lands will
use Armistice day for kindling the
fires of sentiment and action against
this crime of increasing armaments.
the eleventh of November, 1921, will
mark the beginning of the peace of
the world. To this task we consecrate
ourselves today.
"At home, each one in her own
land-at home. our first domestic task
is to win the right to our daily bread.
Everywhere, the curse of unemploy-
ment shadows the workers homes.
For Constructive Peace
EITHER unemployment or capital
ism must go. If competitive private
industry cannot employ the able and
willing workers then is competitive
private industry doomed. Govern
ments that can spend billions in de-
structive war must learn how to spend
some millions for constructive peace.
Not doles in debasing idleness. but liv-
ing wages in productive work, this we
demand from the governments and
the economic order in all lands.
For the first time in history We
have political power and. power i'm
poses responsibility. We face the
chaos and suffering made by mans
governments in the earth.
when we are hungry and homeless
ard idle or slaughtering our brothers
or killing our sonss let US vote against
the government without regard to
party. Let US refuse to be beguiled by
party shibboleths or hypnotised by
party leaders. Together let US de-
mand bread and security for oul
homes. When we have these simple
understandable benefits we support
the government, when we are de-
prived of them we sweep the govern
ment out of office.

officials and all promoters connected

weight boxing match scheduled to be

Mike Gibbons and Mike O'Dowd, are
technically charged with training and
preparing for match at which COM

ferred with the sheriffs office and

ERIE CUTS WAGES
Slash in Defiance of
United States Labor Board.
Pay to Maintenance of Way
Laborers Reduced 712e Hour.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-The Erie railroad
today opened the way for an immedi-
ate stri k tioesmfpguv W FMS?
ate strike of its employees by slashing
wages in defiance of the United States
railroad labor board.
The wage order cut maintenance of
way 1aborers from 81 II cents an hour
to 80 cents.
AS soon as the Erie order was is
sued. the Maintenance of Way Broth
erhood called a meeting of it's officers
for Wednesday morning, at which
time, it was stated, a call to strike at
once might be made.
A recent vote taken by mail showed
that the maintenance of way 1aborers
were SO per cent in favor of a strike.
The action of the Erie came as the
heads of railway labor organizations
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor met here Informally and
discussed plans for joining the strike
set for October 80.
Officials of the American Fedora
ton of Labor unions expressed resent
ment over the manner in which the
"big four" brotherhood chiefs have
handled the strike situation.
Not in Strike Group.

sylvania railroad is not in any strike

of Labor officials. why not? This
road has been most bitter in its fight
against us. This is one of the things
that has made us suspicious and it
has got to be cleared up"
J. L. Smock, vice president of the
Maintenance of Way Brotherhood,
said:
I'VE want to find out where the big
four brotherhoods stand. There is APP
parently some dissension in their
ranks. We want to know what it is. -
Meanwhile, railroad officials re-
viewed the prospect of a general
strike skeptically.
Frankly, I don't believe there will
be strike" said j. T. Gillick, general
manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad. Il have tried to
discover whether this strike everybody
is talking about is directed at the rail
roads or the United States railway la
Dor board
The general attitude of railroad ex-
ecutives was conveyed in the express
sion of one railroad official.
Wen run the railroads, strike OF
no strike"
