A MINER in

(From Common Cause" Australian
Labor Paper)
(Andrew Clarke the Motifs miner,
who accepted an invitation to put
the mems case in the recent miners
strike in ENGLAND to an audience of
Upper Class Unemployed in Lady
Marham's drawing-room on May II,
is a first year student at the Labor
College, Kew (England.) Invited to
record his impressions for the ben

Changes in Retail Prices of
Food

The U. S. Department of Labor,
tistics, has completed the compila-
lions showing changes in the retail
cost of food in September, in IA
principal cities of the United States.
During the month from August
Is to September Is, 1921, there was
a decrease in all but two of these
cities. In San Francisco, there was
an increase of 2 per cent and in
Dallas, an increase of four-tenths
of 1 per cent. In Milwaukee, Mime
apolis and Portland, Me-, there was
a decrease of per cent. In At
lanta, Birmingham, Cincinnati, Lit
tie Rock, Louisville, Norfolk, Phil
adelphia and Salt Lake City there
was a decrease of l per cent. In
New Haven. there was a decrease of
one-tenth of l per cent.
For the year period, September Is,
1920, to September Is, 1921, there
was a decrease of % per cent in
Louisville; 81 per cent in Atlanta,
Birmingham, Minneapolis, and Salt
Lake City; 26 per cent in Little
Rock and New Haven; 25 per cent
IN CINCINNATI, Milwaukee, Nortolk,
Philadelphia and Portland, Me-; "a
per cent in Dallas; and % per cent
in San Francisco.
AS compared with the average cost
in the year 1918, the retail cost of
food on September Is, 1921, showed
an increase of Sc per cent in Mil
waukee; So per cent in Birmingham;
"a nor cant in Cincinnati. 62 nor
cent in New Haven; 81 per cent in
Philadelphia; 40 per cent in At
lanta; AZ per cent in Dallas and
Minneapolis; AZ per cent in San
Francisco; 43 per cent in Little
Rock; Al per cent in Louisville; and
33 per cent in Salt Lake City.
Prices were not obtained from Nor
folk and Portland Me-, in 1913, hence
no comparison for the Swear period
can be given for these cities.

NO CURE WITHOUT
DIAGNOSIS
(From LabOrl


The Presidents conference on UNI
employment is devoting all of its
attention to effects and wholly dis
regarding causes. Therefore, it isn't
going to offer anything Of value
to a problem that is now acute and
daily becomes more critical.
In ruling out of the discussions
all matters of a controversial ma
ture," those who are engineering this
conference closed the door against
remedial action, for involved in con-
troverted subjects are the underlying
causes of widespread industrial stag
nation and unrest.
If it were proven, as it could be
proven, that millions of men were
deliberately thrown out Of work in
pursuance of a plan that has for
it's object the degradation and sub
lection of workers, then it might be
suggested that outraged public opin-
ion be brought to bear against those
who are trifling with our dearest
national interests.
If, also, it were demonstrated that
the narrow, vicious and short-sighted
policy of "deflation" launched by
Big Business Immediately after the
armistice so seriously curtailed the
nations productive and consumptive
capacities that the existing situation
was inevitable, the obvious remedy
would be apparent.
If the conference refuses to Crap
pie with fundamentals and fuses
around with non-essentials, it is
doomed to failure before it fairly
starts.
If it imagines that it can force the
workers of this nation back to pre-
war conditions, it will suffer hu-
initiation as we'll as failure, for the
thing can not be done.

LABOR COST OF
SHOES

Editor Baine of the Shoe Workers
| Journal lifts the lid" on shoe prices,
and in explaining why labor refuses
to accept wage reductions in this in
dustry he shows who is profiteering.
Before the war, he says, the labor
cost of a pair of shoes retailing at
$3.50 ranged around 90 cents Later
this shoe sold as high as $12 and
the labor cost advanced to 81 or
81 per cent of the retail price.
"Shoes that retailed at $40 or
over would show a still smaller per-
centage of labor cost in proportion
to the selling price at retail" he
says.
During the period of advance,
shoe prices were made without rea-
son. The excuse given the consum-
ers was the high cost of material
and labor. One man who paid SIS
for pair of shoes was blaming labor
for it. He was asked what he sup
posed labor received for making that
pair of shoes and he replied; Prob
ably four or five dollars When told
that labor received less than $1.30
he was astounded
"For something over year we
have had a falling market for shoe
materials. Prices for shoe materials
now very nearly equal pre-war
levels.
"a manufacturer said he wanted
to make a shoe to sell to dealers at
Sc, to be sold at retail at SO, and
would like a reduction in labor cost.
The same shoe used to be sold to
the retailer at $2.85 and retailed at
$500 Labor receives about 40 cents
per pair more on that shoe.
Labor was asked to contribute
from it's 40 cents to help the man
to sell at 1886, when his market for
raw materials is nearly the same as
before the war.
"There are other instances of pro-
posed reduction in labor cost that
have no better foundation than the
one just related 1t is not strange
that labor is not enthusiastic to CO.
operate for such ends.
"These policies are among the
causes of the public resentment
against the shoe business that re-
suits in the ieering of a shoe man
ufacturer on the floor of the house
of representatives at Washington
ton
"We know there are circumstances
somewhat extenuating, such as high
rents, freight and other expenses,
but still it is in order for manu-
facturers and dealers to introduce a
little team work into their lead pen
ellis.
Labor declines to be the goat for
the public prejudice to pay the
freight for margins that few years
ago would have seemed extremely
extravagant."

New York, Oct. 22.-Those editors
and politicians who discuss the rights
of the public" in strike times can
read with profit a report on the re-
cent Denver street car strike by
three churchmen, who call attention
to the public's neglect of its duties:
at is to be feared that the people
of Denver, as is probably true in
most cities under like circumstances,
for the most part failed to take
broad public view of the tramway
strike and of the situation which
led up to it. Had the people inter-
ested themselves to provide such
regulation of the street railway sys-

send you speaks the truth. The Sen
ator does not.

Raymond Robbins
on Disarmament

The average citizen, Mr.. Robbins
said, does not half appreciate the
cost of the great war. 1t is an
impressive fact that not a person
present will again look upon a
world of as much plenty, goodwill
and good faith as the world of
1914. Then there was an economic
surplus; now, and for a long time
to come, economic deficit. Wealth
amounting to $50 billions dollars was
expended in destruction. Ten mil
lion lives were cut off in their most
productive years.

VI 800 IN '
Wa and lawsuits With Waverly Abbey
the men of the church and the men of
the law left nothing but the manor of
Tilford for the remaining members of
the family, Lady Ermyntrude and her
grandson Nigel.
Nigel LOring came of a ace of
heroes, his grandfather having fallen
at the battle of Stirling, and his father
in the sea fight of Sluys. Nigel, his
veins thrilling with the blood of a hun
dred soldiers, was filled with the de-
sire for adventure and combat; having
been trained at the desire of his grand
mother in skill at arms, and courage,
he became also a daring rider. At
times a fierce bitterness assailed Nigel
at the thought of the wrongs done by
the Abbot of Waverly, whom he be-
iieved had robbed the Lorings of much
of their estate.
On the first day of May, the Festival
sternation reigned at the Abbey, when
it was found that a large pike had
eaten the carr in Abbot Johns fish
pond, Nigel being accused of putting
the pike in the pond. Abbot John and
the sacrist, Brother Samuel, were in
consultation upon the subject, when
they were rudely interrupted by a buzz
of excitement among the monks in the
cloister. A white-faced brother flung
open the door and rushing into the
room cried, "Father Abbot, alas, alas,
Brother John is dead, and the Sub
Drior is dead. and the Devil is loose
in the five virgate field"
Now what the brother called the
"Devil" was a great yellow horse, held
at the Abbey for the debt of his owner
Franklin Awkward; such a horse, it was
said. was not to be found betwixt the
Abbey and the Kings stables at Wind
scr.
It was a sorry day that brought the
morse to the Abbey, for 10 one there
could be found who would or could
ride him or conquer him he had in
deed nearly killed the Brother and the
SubpriOr.
Abbot John and the monks, intent
upon seeing, with their own eyes, this
terrible creature, hurried down the
stairs and gained the wall of the mea-
dow, where looking over its top they
beheld the magnificent horse standing
fetlock deep in the meadow grass. Up
on this wild scene there arrived riding
his pony the young Squire Loring.

steel, and a soul of fire; his face,
though tanned with the weather, was

ance made him a mark for the sight of
any passer-by, but at the first glance,
the brown face set in its golden hair
and beard, and the daring light Of the
quick, reckless, laughing eyes, made
the one strong memory left behind. .
The horse was at the moment tram.

arose among the monks as to the kill
