REPORT OF M. FREUND AT
BIALYSTOK.

"The spread Of agriculture among
Jews in villages of Bialystok and
Brest-Litovsk districts is easily OBJ
served" reports NJ. Freund, Jewish
Relief Worker at Bialystok in re.
port to the American Jewish Relief
Committee.
In order to aid this trend toward
agriculture among the Jewish people,
a conference was held recently in
Bialystok, called by the Jewish Dis
tribution Committee and attended by
various representatives Of local Jew
ish Societies, at which plans were dis
cussed as to the best means by which
to foster this back-to. the farm move
ment. The conference also adopted
plans for the completion Of an eco.
nomic survey of the territory to pre-.
pare the foundation for the recon-
struction program to be carried out
through the funds now being raised
by the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee in its 1921 appeal.
The adoption Of farming as means
Of livelihood has been one of the most
significant developments in the post
war life Of Eastern European Jewry
and II Is being fostered by the Jewish
relief work now carried on, as one Of
the most important means Of lifting
the Jew out Of his present misery and
economic ruin.
Loans to prospective farmers so
that they may purchase tools and
seeds and get established on their
newly acquired farms, are being made
in various districts, as a leading fea-
ture Of the reconstruction program to
be carried out on a wider scale when
the need for emergency disappears or
reaches the point where Il can be
handled by governmental and local
agencies.

FIVE LITTLE ORPHANS ACROSS
THE SEAS.
A Little Story of How Four Girls And
One Lone BOy-Sisters and Bro
ther-Made the Journey from
Lublin, Poland to Sioux
City, United States
of America.

Zippe Shaffir, Malka Shaffir, Mir
lam Shaffir, Wolf Shaffir, and Raisel
Shaffir, ID, IL, 10, 9 and years old
respectively, were born in the City Of
Lublin in Poland. Before the great
war broke out. The father, B. Shaffir
left his native town to come to this
country and make a home for the
wife and children who were left in
Lublin. He struggled and he fought,
and with courage given him by the
thought Of his dear ones in far off
Lublin, he succeeded, establishing
himself in Sioux City, Iowa.
The great conflict came and the
home that B. Shaffir had prepared for
his loved ones remained empty, he
could not bring his wife and children
to him. Communication were cut off
and he even found it difficult to write
to those he had left on the other side.
Two years ago the wife and mother
died, and the four little girls and the
one little boy were left alone in the
city Of Lublin waiting for the father
to send for them. And two long years
they had to wait until that happy
event could take place. At last the
way was opened, and on the IS.
Olympic which locked in New York
Harbor on March oath, the little fam
lily, led by Zippe, the fourteen year old
member, arrived. The father could not
come from Sioux City, and so the
children were brought to the Home Of
the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society at 229-231 East Broad
way. Mr.. B. Shaffir was Immediately
informed by telegraph Of the fact
that his children were with the So
ciety and in safe keeping. This reply
came, "Send our children at once, /
am waiting" and three days later, the
father and children were united.
At the home, Zippe, marvelously
developed for her age, told the story
of what happened in the home town;
of n pogrom that was interrupted.
With shudder she spoke Of the in
suits to which the Jews were subject

RAILROADS EARN LESS
IN 1920 Than IN 1919

The railroads of the country earned
only about $150,000,000 last year, or
$S65,0OO,0O0 less than in 1918, &C.
cording to estimates prepared by H.
P. Parmelee, director of the bureau
of railway economics.
Mr.. Parmelee estimates that in 1920
the carriers had a gross revenue of
5000, 100000 and expenses amounted
to $3.50. 0oo.0 900, leaving a gross rev.
enue of $450,000.0o. Deduction of
taxes and equipment amounted to
$30O,0O0,000 and left the net insome
at $15o,ooo,00.
This sum was far short of the gov
ernment guarantee and treasury and
other officials have estimated that
the government must pay the roads
about $600,000,000 for the six
months period of guaranteed return
which expired on Sept. 1. New rates

Grafton served to materially increase
the carriers income. which for the

$585.000,000 and expenses $5O5,00O,-
600, leaving a gross revenue Of $780,

UNIONIsM MEANS MANHOOD.

Since trades unions entered the indus

advanced steadily. Besides providing
the worker with a means for increasing
his wages, the unions have given him
voice in the determination Of condi-
tions under which he shall work.
When, through his union, the worker Is

reasonable number Of hours, he has
gained freer, happier, more intelligent
life, measure Of time that may be
devoted to- rest, study and recreation.
When, through his union and in asso-
citation with his fellow workers, he goes
to the employer and negotiates as to
terms and conditions of employment he
is able to write a distinguishing charac-
teristic between himself and a piece of
material. He exercises those qualities
which distinguish intelligent life from
inert commodities.
All this means that trade unions have
put manhood into industry: They have
given to workers the opportunity to
exercise the power of selection, of dis.
erection, of .self-authority. Certainly an
fundamentally that can promote such
development merits recognition from the
public, which means both workers and

COLLAR MANUFACTURERS
ARE KINGS OF COUGERS

The Public Ledger gives an insight
into the gouglng methods of manu-
facturers by its expose of the mems
collar industry. It is shown that linen
collars, that sold for two for rs cents
before the war, are now made of cam
brio and sell for IS cents a piece
During the war they sold for as high
as IS cents.
+ Retailers are requested" to sell
at this price. Formerly, retailers were
ordered to sell at fixed prices, but
the United States supreme court has
ruled against this command. Now if
the retailer does not comply with the
request" he is told the factory is
lust out of the styles and sizes" he
has ordered. The retailer pays $2.10
a dozen or l71h cents a piece. The
material in one collar costs the man
ufacturer a little more than cents.
The cost Of labor and other over
head expenses have not advanced,
but have rather been reduced since
the time when the price of cotton be-
gan to slump" says the Public Led
ger. 'Thus, with the large difference
between the cost Of making collars
and the high selling price, the rea-
son for the enormous profits rolled
up recently by Cluett, Peabody If Co.
is easily SEEM
It is stated that in 1913 the profits
of this concern amounted to $751;,
1853 and in 1919 the profits jumped
to the unprecedented figure Of So
1929, or twice the amount made in
1915 its previously most profitable
year.

A aENEFICENT MOVEMENT.

No honest, well-informed supporter Of
organized labor will contend that ell
the things done by the labor unions are
free from blame and censure, nor are
all the things done by members Of
unions exculpable, It must be readily
conceded that many grave mistakes
have been made, and many may be
expected to be made in the future. But
what organization has not been guilty
of error, and whose members are free
from condemnation
No movement has a more difficult
task than organized labor to maintain
strict adherence to the path Of safety
and righteousness. It takes up the out,
cast, oppressed and embittered victims
of capitalistic> oppression and helps
them back to Independent manhood. It
is difficult to always guide this raw
element into safe channels.
But the movement must not be judged
by isolated cases of mistake; but rather
by the sum total Of its good and evil
acts. We are sure that no one who is
at all fair will deny that organized
labor has been and is now a tremen,
dous force for human. freedom and civil
lization Only those who are over
whelmed by ignorance and prejudice
will try to maintain an opposite posi-.
ton.
When men Of the type of Herbert
Hoover and Father John A. Ryan and
Owen Lovejoy, secretary of the national
child labor committee, testify to the
worth and work of organized labor the
conclusions to the contrary Of selfish
and sinister minded individuals should
not have much weight with fair-minded
people.
Without organized labor the wages.
working conditions and hours of labor
would be whatever the lowest class Of
workers would submit to. The factories
would he filled with women and children
without the protection Of the law. H.
literacy and depravity would be abroad
in the land and the standard Of Ameri-
can workers would be that Of the
cOolie.

So says John Walker Harrington in
an article quoted by the Literary Digest.
Mr.. Walker is basing his statements
upon the statistics of the big insurance
companies.
And it is this state of public health
that the opep-shoppers want to destroy.

BASIC WAGE AWARD IS

After a years investigation a COM

award, and employers throughout the
commonwealth are enraged. Premier
Hughes. has announced that the gov

award which is f5, II shillings, s

Wales, the award is Is. II shillings.
and in other sections Of, Australia
the rate is slightly lower.

Mr.. Phillips stood out squarely
against the dual water system and in
the interest of public health. He has
stood with the people every time the
street railway question came before the
council. He fought single-handed and
alone for the construction of the water
and light building and won. He has
had frequent tests made Of the city

necessary to worry about Mr.. Phillips,
