Hash

I'vo eaten much in fine hotels,
where foreign cooks were wearing
bells, and have seen the walters
bring grand Dishes that would tempt

me pounoe on grub whose name I
can't pronounce. and have paid five
bucks or more for victuals famed
IN tavern lore. cooked by q master
chef from France. or Italy OF Spain,
perchance. And while I piled my
fork and knife, and ate and ate, to
save my life, I thought. '1'd give
wad Of cash to have q plate Of
grandma's hash" I say it humbly
and in fear; know my high-toned
friends will jeer when I confess I'd
rather eat an old-time hash Of
spuds and meat, with onion flavor
as base, than feed my chaste and
useful face with kitchen triumphs
they'd applaud, compiled by artists
from abroad. The good old hash

onion hash that grandma made?

UNITY OF LABOR PROVES
PLEASING TO GOMPERS
Expresses Deep Satisfaction Of
Backing Of Farley by q. 8.
and British Workers.

Deep satisfaction" was expressed
by President Samuel GomperS Of the
American Federation Of Labor in a
statement issued last night regarding
the unity of British and American
organized labor not only in support
of the Washington conference for
limitation Of armament. but also "in
agreement on the fundamental prin-
ciples that should guide both the
present conference and all other in
ternational efforts that should grow.
out. of it,
British labor is under no illusions
as to the immediate possibility Of
complete disarmament" the statement
announced. "On the contrary, it rea-
Lies fully that disarmament can pro-
ceed only In proportion as the exist
ing causes of war are removed and as
machinery is provided for averting
future war danger. The British joint
labor council declares:
THE facts with regard to complete
must be faced. Labor
has always held that complete dis
armament depends upon the accept
ance by the various nations and par
the great powers, of certain
principles OF international policy and
organization
TT will be seen that these declara-
tions are in entire accord with the
publicly declared attitude of Ameri-
can labor.
"It is to be hoped that British labor
will continue to be guided by the
wise and broad minded policy we see
in this statement to the very end Of
the Washington conference. that it
will support all the actions 6f that
which work in the direc-
tion of the aforementioned princi-
pies and that it will get behind the
idea Of an international economic
opment Of the International confer
ence policy and as leading toward
that international organization which
we all desire"

undoubtedly the dearth Of we'll pay

Woefully inadequate, but the number

and not until then, will the govern
ment succeed in both attracting and
retaining the services Of really bril-
liant men and women, any one of
whom would outvalue a score Of
clerks of the type that is representa-
tive under existing conditions. This
would be true economy. for not only
would the governments business be
handled more skillfully and expedi-
ployes and the sum total Of the pay
roll would be materially reduced. Men
and women Of this type could easily
be persuaded to enter the service at
a modest salary, provided they knew
that the government was in a position
to compensate them adequately in the
years to come for earnest, intelligent
and constructive work.
Standard Salary Needed.
Pending the meeting Of this cry
step is that of readjustment and
standardizing the present salary
scale to the end that the compensation
allowed for similar services shall be
the same in all branches Of the gov
ernment. This would at any rate
check the now Of trained clerks from
