REVIEWS HIS FIGHT
FOR DELAY ON NAVY.
Borah Says Powers Failure
to Agree on Construction
Will Lead to War.

The statement that he had received
suggestions that Great Britain was
circulating propaganda" in this
country to deter American naval
building was made in the Senate yes
terday by Senator Borah. republican,
Idaho. during a general debate on
disarmament. He understood. he
said, that the facts were in possess
sion of the Navy Department.
Senator Poindexter, republican,
Washington, author of the Senate
naval committees recent adverse re-
port on Senator Borah's suggestion
Tor a six-month naval holiday, in an
swer to a question whether the com
mittee's investigation had disclosed
any such situation, replied that there
had been some testimony" on the
subject, but the committee d1d not
believe it should be made pubilc.
IF this information is in the hands
of the Navy Department. Senator
Borah said.' "the Congress should
have it. We are informed that In
the archives of the Navy Department
there is proof of the propaganda con-
Quoted by Great Britain. AT the same
time We are told that the BRUSH

suggest disarmament conference.
Senator Horah again urged that an
agreement $be reached between the
naval powers for reduction of build
ing prograims. and also advocated
careful Investigation to determine
whether capital ships are tact1caiiy
obsolete.
"UnIess there is an agreement
reached between the United states
and the powers competing in naval
building" he said, sit will lead to war
inevitably"
Opinions of American, British, Ger
man and other naval experts that
capital ships have become obsolete
were presented by Senator Borah. He
read from a letter by an American
rear admiral, retired. who said:
II would stake my life that in rev
years a surface navy alone can go
nowhere but to the bottom.
The name of the officer who wrote
the letter, Senator Borah said, would
be given to the naval committee. If
it desired This officer. he added. also
wrote that the United States could
never be attacked successfully by a
power or combination of powers from
overseas.
Senator Poindexter. in defending the
naval committees report supporting
the capital shipbuilding program. de-
clared that If the United States ac-
cepted the building postponement
plan, it would "become at once a de-
feated nation, would lose it's insular
possessions" and it's citizens would
be able to travel the seas only upon
terms laid down by rival nations.

ASSESSMENT OF
PRINTERS is CUT
THREE PER CENT

Word has been received by Typo-
graphical Union No. 444 announcing a
cut OF three per cent in the 44-hour
strike assessment.
rms news was received with real
Christmas spirit by the boys. who
welcome the reduction as a sort of
present from Santa Claus.
Since the first of May the men,
bers have been paying an assessment
OF 10 per cent on their earnings in adj
dition to their local and international
dues. The cut can be taken to indi-
cate that the strike conditions are i'm
proving and that the printers are
steadily gaining in their fight with
the contract-breaking employers. Con-
ditions are expected to improve more
o rless rapidly from no won. The
printers entered the fight for the
shorter week with approximately
S2O00,O00 in the treasury, and in
spite of paying about 100000 per
month in strike benefits, had at the
last report S3,000,000 in their inter-
national treasury. The benefit to
striking. members has averaged S25
per week, in addition to paying strike
benefits and loaning money to other
crafts employed in the printing in
dustry.
The Typographical Union has thor
oughly demonstrated the self-sacri-
fice that members of organized la
Dor must be willing to make in case
they are to participate in any strike
OF any dimensions. The printers have
paid nearly million dollars a month
TO win tn estrike so far, and were
prepared to pay it indefinitely. EN-
ployers are beginning to realize that
their hight is a losing one, and that
they are unable to break down the
morale of the membership.

FARMERS PRICES
BELOW 1913 LEVEL;
FOOD is HALF MORE

Farmers prices are now lower than
they, were in 1918. while prices
higher than they were in that period.
Evidence supporting this fact has
been offered by Vernon Campbell,
general manager Of the California
Cooperative Canneries, farmers or
ganization, to special government
commission investigating the distribu-
ton of food products.
A contest is being waged between
the packers and wholesale grocers
over the question whether the big
packers shall be permitted to engage
In the distribution of "side lines" I'm
der decree entered in the District of
Columbia Federal court several years
ago the packers agreed to withdraw
from competition with grocers on con-
dition that prosecutions charging
them with unfair practices be aban-
doned by Attorney General Palmer.
Officials representing the Department
of Commerce, Agriculture and JUS
tice are conducting hearings on pro-
posal to modify this decree.
Mr.. Vernon declared that after the
packers withdrew from the general
food trade producers and consumers
were exploited. He pointed to the dis
crepancy between farmers prices and
consumers costs as indicating that
somebody is taking profits that are
unreasonable.
II do not attempt to assign a reason
for this situation" Vernon said. Each
person may have his own ideas as to
the causes. merely call attention to
the conditions and unqualifiedly state
that 1t is of serious Importance to the
farmer and the working people of the
country and their families"
at should be clear to this commit
tee" continued Vernon, that the pub
lie is entitled to protection. If under
the present arrangement consumers
are paying exorbitant prices, while
the farmer is not getting sufficient to
maintain himself, the fault must be
with those who control distribution,
and that suggests that this decree
should me modified, permitting the
packers, under government control, to
put their elaborate machinery to
work. We will then know whether
these high prices result from monop-
oily or whether some other reason

THE OPEN SHOP MENACE

The only barrier to complete SUBJ
lection of the workers in industry in
the world today is organization With
the destruction of the union the work
ers become absolutely helpless and
the old era of long hours and low
wages Is bound to return. The well
fare Of Our country depends entirely
upon the welfare of our workers and
attempt to lower the present stand
ards Of hours, wages and working
conditions Is an attempt to destroy
the foundation Upon which our gov
errment rests.
The campaign for the open shop is
not an american" plan, it is a cam
paign being conducted throughout the
world today. Upon the organized la
Dor movement of the United States
today rests the progress of our coun-
try. With the return of the So
called open shop, the exploitation of
the workers, longer hours, lower
wages, begins the weakening of the
foundations of our country as laid
about century and half ago.
Let every working man and woman
in the United States today who is not
a member of trade union Join a
union of his or her craft and help to
make our country what it is meant Ia
be, a government of the people, by the
people and for the people.
