CATTLE WAR PREDICTED

Few people realize the bloody war

lost before the two factions settled
their difficulties

HOUSE COMMITTEE IN FAVOR OF POSTAL
 SAVINGS CHANGES
Plans Suggested by Postmaster Gen eral Hays for Amending Law Is Approved, With Recommendations for Passage of Bill.

Officials of Postal Savings are very much gratifed over the action of the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads of the House of Representatives reporting out of the committee on Mo- vember g, 1921, the bill to amend the laws relating to Postal Savings and re- commended that the bill be passed This bill was originally introduced in the House of Representatives at the request of Postmaster General Hays, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Postal Sav- ings. It makes provision for changes in some of the more important and principal features of Postal Savings. The desire of the Postmaster General and the Board of Trustees is that depositors in Postal Savings be afforded every practical con- venience to deposit their money with the Government for safe-keeping and that the Government in return pay those de- positors as high a rate of interest as is practicable without competing with and injuring legitimate and sound banking in- stitutions
 The bill making the following changes in the existing law:
 l. Abolishes the minimum age limit of 10 years and authorizes joint and trust accounts. A joint account is where the deposit IS carried in the name of two persons and in the event of the disability or death of one the other person may withdraw the deposit. Trust account will embody accounts where money IS depos- ited by one person in trust for another, such of $2, 500 as in the present law.
 2 The bill as reported out of the House Committee proposes to limit the amount allowed as balance to the credit of any person at $5OOO instead of $2, 500 as in the present law.
 5. Rate of interest to be paid deposi- tors IS increased in this bill from 2 tc } per cent per annu1n. Provisions is also embodied in the bill so that interest will be paid on funds on deposit for periods less than one year.

PROBE PORTO RICO, :"
 IS WORKERS DEMAND

Washington, Dec. 3O-The dep1orab1e menace to the stability of that island, and IS being used by monarchists there who favor secession, said Santiago Igles- ias, member of the Porto Rican senate and president of the Porto Rican branch of the A F. of L.
 In urging upon. congress the creation broad powers, the trade unionist said:
 Coffee plantation workers are paid g cents day; sugar plantation workers, 65 cents a day tobacco plantation workers, 60 cents, and fruit plantation workers, 60 cents These figures are for men workers. Women workers are paid much less. The industrial Workers-cigar mak- CTS, building trades, longshoremen, rail- road workers, etc-have suffered a wage reduction of from 25 to 40 per cent
 "The normal diet of the agricultural laborer is: for breakfast, a cocoanut dipper of black coffee without sugar; at noon, a lunch of boiled codhsh and oil and one of the following vegetables :: banana, potato or yautia. At 5 o'clock, another dipper of coffee. Supper, stew made of the current vegetables of the island and rice and codfsh. At intervals he treats himself to pork, and on rare occasions <fe goes to town and eats en- ormous quantities of bread.
 Under such conditions is it strange that the Porto Rican laborer is anemic from scanty and improper food?
 "'A large proportion of the rural pop ulation in Porto Rica,' says this official report, suffers from this disease Gan aenia) which attacks the red corpuscles of the blood and renders breathing diff hcult and continued and severe labor d. most impossible
 'All of which Is a polite official way of saying that wages are so low that men are alternatively poisoned by bad food and starved. When army authorities tried feeding three decent meals day to the Porto Ricans employed on construc- tion work they found an increase of over 100 per cent in efficiency. This Is a sad commentary upon the customary diet of Porto Rican laborers."

BANKS BOOST
 SALARIES; HOWL "WAGE DEFLATION''

Washington Dec. 3o.-Federal re- serve banks continually urge wage dehation," but these banks have raised salaries of their officials more than $7 7,ooo,o ,ooo in the past two years.
 In speech in the senate MT. Over man stated that the federal reserve bank of New York has spent $I7,ooo,- GOO in the erection of the finest bank building in the world. The architect and engineer was paid $I,ooo,o ,ooo and $8oo,ooo was appropriated for furni- ture.
 Let me call particular attention to some of the salaries paid in New York banks" said Senator Overman. "Six receive more than $2o,ooo; 20 re- ceive over $Io,ooo. They have taken men from the various banks in New York, where they were getting three or four thousand dollars a year, and have quadrupled and quintupled their salaries. They have increased saIar- ies in New York $I,I68,o84 since IoIo In Chicago the salaries have been in creased $I,4o8,ooo; in San Francisco, $o45,8oI, and in Kansas City, $5oo,- 4o5."
 Senator Overman said the reserve system was originally intended to be operated on a non-proft basis, but the law has been amended so they can retain 100 per cent surplus. Since then, he said, profits have been so large that they do not know what to

COLORADO STRIKE
 RECALLS LUDLOW

Denver, Dec 3o.-Reaction's policy in the strike of miners employed by the Colorado Fuel & Iron company is identical with the methods employed during the 1914 strike against the same company, when women and chill dren were massacred at Ludlow camp by state gun men.
 The state troops were then ln command of Pat Hamrock, and he is again in command; martial law has been proclaimed; public meetings have been prohibited and press cen sorship orders have been issued, as in 1914.
 The company is Rockefeller unit. pany "union," shortly after Ludlow. Recently it enforced drastic wage re- auctions. Mine foremen and superin- tendents circulated petitions among the men to accept the lawer wages and those who refused to sign were discharged. In every camp where the workers are organized in trade unions the reduction was unanimously re- jected.
 The state industrial commission has ordered district attorneys to start criminal proceedings against the miners because they struck, but the district attorneys have assumed a let-George- -do-it" attitude toward the commission.
