FRUITS AND
FREIGHTS

When we buy fruits in the open mar
ket we sometimes wonder if the deal
er is really making the tremendous
profits with which he is credited.
The fact has been made public that
it is cheaper to ship fruits from Afri-
ca than it is to send them by rail from
California to New York.
1t is said that bale of goods can
be shipped by water from New York
to South America for less than it costs
to transport it from one side of the
city of New Pork to the other.
What's the matter with our railroad
system, anyway?
The exorbitant freight rates in this
country are a burden to the people
and there appears to be no relief in
sight
With all of our vaunted intelligence
we do not seem to have brains enough
to evolve system of distribution that
would do credit to FIJI Islander.
Some day, perhaps, stockholders in
our railroads will realize that a lot
of useless Officials" are being carried
on the payrolls at high salaries. They
may even come to the conclusion that
the services of half the number might
be readily dispensed with, and that
reduction of about SO per cent in the
salaries of the remaining ''higher ups"
would be more in keeping with the cash
value of their services.

penmanship was revised and a de-
cided Improvement in instruction was
shown by the use of standard tests.
This year through the cooperation
of the Federation of Woman's Clubs,
Mrs. Olga Brooks was employed as
school nurse. Her work has been
very satisfactory and has helped to
maintain the health of the pupils
and to improve attendance.
The high school library has been
remodelled and the library work or
ganized to conform to state require
ments.
Over three hundred grade pupils
received diplomas from the State
Reading Circle. The increased inter

Recommendations
Two years ago l named six specific
problems which lay ahead of u.s. Two
have been satisfactorily met, and
two others have been partly solved.
The building program has not been
attempted. At that time | recon-
mended "a building program for the
West Side, perhaps com bining the
Lowell and Emerson schools with a
Junior High School in as central a
location as possible l am glad now
hot no
the report as more thorough study
of the Junior High School has made
me less certain of it's success. I still
think that it is the most likely solu-
ton Of our high school problem, but
am not yet ready to make a positive
recommendation.
There is no question however,
about the need of a modern building
to replace the Emerson and Lowell
buildings. Such a building should
contain about 16 rooms with a gym
nasium and auditorium, and should
be built on the unit plan so that adj
ditions can be made at any time. If
later it seems desirable to locate
Junior High School on the West Side
the building could be made ready
with but slight notifications This
much seems clear, and this program
should be started as soon as possible.
Once more may I express my ap-
probation of the uniform courtesy
that has been shown by the public,
the city administration, the Board Of
Education, and the teaching staff. We
have many problems ahead and we
ask a continuance of the splendid
spirit of cooperation thai has helped
us thus far.

| (From the American Federationist)
A story of a newspaperman (whose
veracity we have never found to be
questioned) who went to West Vir-
ginia during the march of the
miners" and who saw things that
the daily newspapers find it diff
cult" to print.
This newspaperman went to West
Virginia inclined to favor the mine
operators. He is not union man
and he frankly said to the American
Federationist that he frequently had
criticised the trade union movement.
In that frame of mind he went to
West Virginia, went through the five
counties in which conditions were
turbulent, and came away. AS a
service to the cause of truth, with
out pay or request for pay, he has
written the following account of his
observations and offered it for pub
LEGATION, asking only that his name
be not used.
The whole issue in the march of
five thousand Kanawha county min
ers to a point on the border of
Logan county was unionism pure and
simple.
Kanawha county, for more than
twenty years. has been stronghold
of the United Mine Workers of
America. Logan county, on the 9TH
err hand, has been equally strong in
it's opposition to unionism. Ever
since the Kanawha field was organ
lied, bands of miners from Kanawha
-
tered Logan county with view to
organizing Logan county miners.
They came unarmed and attempted
to organize peaceably.
1t is doubtful, however, if any or
ganiZer ever succeeded in opening
his mouth within the borders of
Logan county. Time and time again
organizers were sent to their homes
or to the hospital with their heads
in bandages. AS soon as they left
trains at the Logan railroad station,
they were beaten by strong-arm
men said to have been in the en-
ploy of the operators. The union
miners say these strong-arm men
were Baldwin-Felts detectives.
When the miners found that they
COulu HOt cHIer Logan county peace
ably and unarmed, they decided that
they would gain entry by force.
Five thousand miners assembled I'M
der arms at Marmet in Kanawha
county a few weeks ago. They an
nounced that they were going to
Mingo county but their purpose in
going there was not quite clear.
1t is very probable that they had
no other intention than to enter
Logan county.
The miners passed through Boone
county on their way to Logan. They
did not tear up the countryside;
they did not rob stores; they did not
burn dwellings,; as some reports have
indicated. They passed through
Boone county in an entirely peace
able manner. But when they reach
ed the border of Logan county,
trouble developed.
The non-union Logan county oper-
ators saw breakers ahead if they
permitted five thousand union men
to come within their sacred pre-

Changes in Retail
Prices of Food

The U. S. Department of Labor,
through the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, has completed the compila-
tions showing changes in the retail
cost of food in 10 principal cities
of the United States.
During the month from August Is
to September Is, 1921, there was a
decrease in all but three of these
cities. In Los Angeles there was
an increase of 2 per cent; in Newark
an increase of two-tenths of l per
cent; and in Memphis an increase of
one-tenth of 1 per cent. In Boston,
there was a decrease of per cent.
In Cleveland and Detroit, there was
a decrease of per cent. In CO.
lumbus, Indianapolis and Houston
there was a decrease of l per cent.
In Jacksonville, there was decrease
of one-tenth of l per cent.
For the year period, September
Is, 1920, to Sept. Is, 1921, there
was a decrease of 20 per cent in
Memphis; q per cent in Cleveland;
26 per cent in Detroit; 25 per cent
in Indianapolis; "a per cent in Bos-
ton, Houston, Los Angeles and New
ark; % per cent in Columbus; and
% per cent in Jacksonville.
AS compared with the average cost
in the year 1913, the retail cost of
food on September Is, 1921, showed
an increase of SO per cent in Boston
and Detroit; 81 per cent in Cleve-
land; so per cent in Indianapolis
and Newark; 49 per cent in Jack
sonville; 45 per cent in Memphis;
and AZ per cent in Los Angeles.
Prices were not obtained from Co.
lumbus and Houston in 1918, hence
no comparison for the Swear period
can be given for these cities.
