most vital Importance. The first of
these is to look after the sick and
disabled who are now provided for
by the Sweet bill which is a monu-
ment to the memory ur the late Ma
tional Commander Frederick w.
Galbraith.
A second obligation is to look after
veterans who are not sick and dis
abled and yet need aid. Commander
Anthoine said he believed the Ford
ney bill was just and fair and not a
gratuity, and q partial recompense
for what the service man lost during
the war.
Service to the comm unity was the
third great obligation named by the
State commander who said that so
long as the Legion, locally and ma
tionally works alone for the interests
Of the eX-service men then would
the Legion fail in it's full duty. The
community and the State have inter-
eSts which also must be looked after
and which are of the utmost impor-
lance.
In closing, Commander Anthoine
said that when the Legion convinced
America that it is working for the
public good, then will it become the
greatest force for good America has
ever known.

taller blaming the manufacturer and
the manufacturer blaming the retail
err 1t is known that there is vast
surplus in the hands of manufactur-
ers and that manufacturers have In
many instances reduced their prices
to the jobbers who in turn have made
corresponding decreases to the retail
er. But have the retailers renecteo
these reductions In their prices?
Some retailers base their refusal 70
reduce their prices on the ground
that clerk hire and other help which
is one of the big items OF expense
has not decreased. and that their rent
and overhead is practically the same
as during the high prices
But whatever the reason, the 1act
remains that the price OF conlec-
tionery in the average retail store Is
too high. The spending ability or the
people is being reduced as factories
close and with this will go a CORE

SENSIBLE TALK TO FiliPINOS

Although the report of the commits
sion which President Harding sent to
the Philippines has not yet been
made public its purport is generally
understood. Before leaving Manila
Mr. Forbes of the commission in an
address at the University of the
Philippines made it clear that imme-
date independence would not be APP
proved.
II will make clear" he said, 1.-THE
position have always held regarding
Philippine independence. | believe in
the desire for independence and have
never tried to discourage it." Speak
ing Of the time when he was govern
or he added; Il said then and say
now, devote yourselves to develop
ing your natural resources, so as to
make yourselves strong enough to
maintain your nationality Until
that time comes, until you have de-
veloped sufficient resources to main
tain your nationality. our paths are
parallel"
Contrast this with the policy Of the
last administration in the islands, the
false encouragement held out to them
and the consequent undermining of
the morale.

reformers was that they had the

RAILWAY PERPLExlTlES

A compilation made by the Blu
reau of Railway Economics shows
that since 1912 the. annual average
compensation of railroad employees
has increased 1871 per cent while
the average receipts per ton mile in
the same period increased 1884 per
cent, and passenger mile receipts
$500 per cent.
In 1912 the average annual COM
pensation per employe was s736.6S
and in the first quarter of 1921 at the
rate of s179093 per annum. This is
compared with average freight re-
ceipts (cents) per ton mile of .73 in
1912 and of 1859 in 1921 and average
receipts per passenger mile tcents) of
1927. This report shows that but
POSI- cars were added TO the equip
ment in 1920 or SO less than in 1912.
This matter of equipment recalls
that when Mr. McAdoo was running
the railroads he paid three thousand
dollars each for 100000 cars that
could have been bought before the
war for $3.50 each, and paid $4,000
more for each locomotive he bought
than ever was paid before and took
railway securities in payment. There
is some $3.50, 1000, 900 of railway securi-
ties taken in this way by the govern
ment and this debt has been funded
and is regarded as frozen loan and
one of those which the financiers are
considering in their plans to relieve
the situation.

Obey Minimum Wage
DEGREES or Take I'm
desirable Publicity

Boston, Mass, Sept 1S-EmpIov-
ers who do not comply with the de-
crees of the Massachusetts Minimum
wage Commission have discovered
that they are subject to publicity
3 "hlch from their standpoint may not
be wholly desirable.
The penalty provided by law for
Noncompliance is publication of the
names of employers refusing to ar
cept the commissions recommenda-
tions. According to the state de-
partment of labor and industries. no
other state or country having mini
mum wage legislation has this ,e
quirement. all other laws being man
datory and enforceab BILE in the regu-
lar way.
1t was only this month. however.
that the commission made use of its
powers to the extent of publication
OF names. Until the latter part of
1918 it was prevented from making
complete inspections to determine
compliance with its DEGREES. because
the constitutionality of the minimum
wage law was contested. The state
supreme court finally upheld the
commissions right to make such in
spections.
After this decision things went so
smoothly that the commission was
able to obtain compliance without
legal action. But it struck a snag
in July of last year when it recon-
me nded specific minimum wages in
the paper box manufacturing indus
try. Although the majority of firms
accepted its decree. several refused.
Similar refusal developed later on
the part of some employers of office
building cleaners and women's cloth
ing makers.
AS the supreme court in its de
cision had reserved for later consid-
Grafton the question of the consti-
tutionality of the publicity provision
of the law, the commission recently
asked Attorney General j. Weston
Allen of Massachusetts for an opin-
ion. The attorney general informed
the commission that in his opinion
