dollars to build that twelve-mile line

Shirley thrust out her adorable chin
aggressively. "Sick 'em, Tgel" she
answered. "Shake 'em up, boy

Colonel declared joyously. He paused
with a morsel of food on his fork and
waved the fork at her aggressively.

LUMBER BARONS
GOUCE
Home Building Costs No
Mystery

Washington - The federal trade
commission has forwarded to congress
report on combinations of lumber
manufacturers who have eliminated
competition and are holding prices to
their present level 1t is shown that
the manufacturers have divided the
country into 10 regions, each region
/ having an association of manufactur.
ers bound together in the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association,
with headquarters in Chicago.
The report contains description of
an association of retail lumber deal
ers in Chicago which parcels out to
each concern a certain share of the
entire lumber business in that city.
The organization is called the Chi
cago Retail Lumber Dealers Associa-
ton. When one concern sells more
than its share it is obliged to pay into
a general fund Certain proportion
of its profits and that excess is di-
vided among concerns that sold less
than their shares.

LESS
Berlin.-The director general of the
post office recently issued an order
against strikes in his department and
the trade unionists concerned declar-
ed that they would exercise their right
to strike if their demand for increas-
ed wages was refused. The threat
produced partial results, as the reich
stag adopted the recommendations of
commission dealing with this ques-
tion, which has also been approved by
the government. The employees insist
that the increases are not sufficient
and the question is being further dis
cussed.

REFUSE COSSACK BAIT
st. Paul, Minn.-Trade unionists in
this state refuse to fall into a trap
laid for them by advocates of the cos
sack system. The cossack bill now
proposed would stop cossacks from in
terfering with strikes. The unionists
show that if the people accept the
theory that the state may take from
the county and city its police power
cossacks, when established, can have
their duties enlarged to any degree
anti-unionists desire.

UNIONIzINC ENJOINED
Usual Writ Against "Vio-
lation and Intimidation"
Issued

Indianapolis Federal Judge An
derson has issued an injunction
against trade unionists in Shelby
vile, this state, who are attempting
to unionize factories there.
The complaint was made by a
travelling salesman, who lives in Chi
cago, who claimed his livelihood is
affected because the activity of the
unionists has curtailed the output of
the firms he represents.
The furniture business is suffering
from the general business depression
and the manufacturers seized upon this
condition to blame labor and stop
unionization of their plants by the
injunction process.
Judge Anderson's order is the US
ual labor injunction against "vio-
lence and intimidation"
While this situation, if it exists,
should rightfully be handled by the
police authorities, the purpose of the
furniture companies is shown by their
presentation to the court of the de-
mands of the union. 1t was also
alleged that the unions attempted last
May to force these concerns to adopt
the union shop, which the employers
call CLOSED shop"

BASIC WAGE AWARD
Enrages Australian EN-
plOyers

Melbourne, Australia. - After a
years investigation a commission ap-
pointed by the federal government has
made basic wage award, and employ
ers throughout the commonwealth are
enraged. Premier Hughes has an
nounced that the government will re-
fuse to accept the award which is
5 pounds, II shillings, 6 pence in this
city for man with wife, and three
children under IA years of age. For
Sydney, New South Wales, the award
is pounds, II shillings, and in other
sections of Australia the rate is
slightly lower.
Premier Hughes said the new pro-
posals would be an economic revolu-
ton and that industry can not stand
this additional call. The premier also
objected to paying single men the
same rate paid to married men. His
rejection of the award contradicts a
statement by him, October 81, 1919,
that the government is appointing a
royal commission to inquire into the
cost of living in relation to the min
mum or basic wage and "the govern
ment will, at the earliest date possi-
Bile, create effective machinery to give
effect to these principles, and the re-

MILK PRICE SHOULD
DROP

Chicago.-Milk should be cut at
once to II cents a quart, according to
a report made to the city council by
its committee on the high cost of liv-
ing. 1t is stated that milk is being
held at an artifcially high price.
The present price is IL cents quart
and cents pint, retail. Wholesale
prices are 13 cents and s cents a
quart and pint respectively.
The report declares that there has
been large overproduction of con
densed and evaporated milk, the means
by which surplus production has been
taken care of in the past, and large
quantities of fluid milk from outside
the recognized Chicago district are
coming into the city as a result of the
refusal of creameries and condensaries
to take it.

UNCLE SANS BEST
MEN QUIT HIM
LOw-Wage Policy the Cause

Washington. = The governments s
low-wage policy is driving some of its
finest scientific, technical and profess
sional men out of the federal service
and into private employment.
The bureau of labor statistics has
compiled list of these valued en-
ployes who have been forced to
abandon a lifework because of the
high cost of living, which the govern
ment refuses to recognize. AS a re-
suit private industry profits and the
magnificent scientific organizations
that have been built up during recent
years have been destroyed.
The bureau of labor statistics
paints a dark picture of the future
because of the refusal of young men
to enter the government service and
prepare for important positions.
The bureau of labor statistics
points out that the government is not
expected to pay salaries equal to the
highest ranges to those paid outside.
but the government cannot afford to
ignore the value set upon services of
a specific grade, as evidenced by the
salaries generally paid for them, nor
can it afford to assume that because 80
years ago given salary would at
tract an abundance of workers of at
least average ability it will continue
to attract and hold them when both
the cost of living and the salary level
outside have risen conspicuously.

TEACHERS UNIONS
HELPFUL
Conditions Much Bettered
Through Organization

st. Paul, Minn.-How the organiza-
tion Of teachers benefits the entire
teaching profession was shown by
President Stillman in his report to
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers.
"In hundreds of communities" he
said, zone of the influences behind the
granting of increases in teachers sal
aries has been what to many misin-
formed or unprogressive school auth
critics has seemed the specter of pos
sible affiliation of their teachers with
our movement.
"And more important than that,
even during this period of the tenn
porary eclipse of the idealism of de-
mocracy, in teachers organizations
controlled by school administrators,
the old-line superintendents have been
compelled at least to yield a SEM
blance of democracy, as the price of
retaining the realities of control Our

DISCUSS BATTLE SHIPS

London.-The discussion in this
country on the merits of battle ships
in view of the development of the sub
marine, continues as the public reads
the publication by the government OF
all papers and orders on the battle Of
Jutland between the British and Ger
man fleets.
In commenting on these papers
the Manchester Guardian says:
''The value of the battle ship is un,
questionably diminished not only by
mine and submarine but by the torpe-
does of the destroyer. Had the Ger
mans built more destroyers and fewer
dreadnaughts we might have been in
much worse case at Jutland. What
are we to build now?"
