FISHER PREDICTS
 RISE IN PRICES
Yale Economist Tells Congress Some
 Pertinent Facts on Conditions.

Washington, June 1O-The ever-inter- eStlng question of the cost of living is being thrashed out before a joint congress
 slOnal committee which is considering bills reClass1fying the employees of the Federal government. Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale University, the man who at- tracted national attention by his scheme to stabilize the dollar was one of the star witnesses. He submitted some il- lustrations which touched the pocket nerves of the Congressman themselves tor he undertook to show how the sa1ar
 lcs ot members had decreased in purchas
 Ing power. He estimated that if the pOv
 ernment were to undertake to comDen- sate enators and Representatives for this decrease tor the period from 1913 to l9zO, each member would receive S17,- oOo, III addition to the money he has al- ready drawn. Some of the members wanted to take the matter up with the appropriations committee at once, but Prof. Fisher laughingly suggested that bygOnes should be bygones, but that Con-
 gross owed 1t to the government employees to bring their wages up to the purchasing power which existed before the war.
 My guess is that prices Will not fall. but will rise" said Prof. Fisher, an in
 teresting deduction coming from so emi- nent an authority. "They may fall a little m the next few months, but then I believe they will begin to rise stock prices first, then wholesale prices. and these will draw retail prices up again."

 a candidate to succeed Gompers. He has refused to discuss reports of his candi- daCy or make comment on the campaign in his behalf His supporters, however,
 made 1t understood that he would be will ing to oppose GOmpers If the sentiment
 of the Denver convention showed demand for change in administration.
 Those pressing he campaign to elect him declared today that alignmerts at the convention will compel him to run and he | will have sufficient support to win. They ! predict developments as soon as the con- vention opens The latter report in la Dor circles is that the Go1npers' forces
 will consent to placing William H. John- i Ston, president of the International Ma chinists association and regarded as the l leader of the insurgent movement, on the executive council, the central ad1ninistra- 1 tive body of the federation.
 There are also rurnors that notwith-

FAMOUS BRITISH
 LABOR MAN DIES
Crooks Rose From Waif of Sums
 to Member of Parliament.

London, June 1O.-Rt. Hon. William Crooks, who served as labor member of Parliament for nearly twenty years, died this week.
 He entered public life in 1892 when l.e was elected member of the London County Council, and devoted himself to improving the poor law, showing special interest in pauper children. When he was elected to Parliament for Woolwich Tn 1903 he speedily won the attention of the House. He was born orator, and his speeches usually dealt with the con- dition of the workers, whose drab lives he described from frst-hand knowledge.
 Will Crooks, as he was affectionately known, became one of the leaders in the great labor moI enent and one of the dominant figures in England. He was born in a London slum, in 1852, and started work when only nine years of age.

FILLING STATION GOSSIP.

Lew Mccall says that motorists who come through Columbus en route for Kansas City have about the fol- lowing conversation when they stop at the filling station here: If it's a Cadillac, the driver says:
 "How far is it to Kansas City?"
 "One hundred an dforty miles," is the reply.
 "Gimme twenty gallons of gas and a gallon of oil, says the driver.
 Then comes a Buick and the chauf- |feur says:
 How far is 1t to Kansas City?"
 "One hundred and forty miles"
 "Gimme ten gallons of gas and a half gallon of oil,' and he drives on. Along comes a fivver and the driver uncramps himself, gets out and stretches and asks:
 How far is it to Kansas City?" "Oh, about 40 miles" 'Is that all? Gimme two quarts of water and bottle of 3 in l. and hold this son-of-a-gun until I get in.'' Columbus Advocate.

PUBLIC HEALTH WORK EXTENDED
 OVER COUNTRY
Nine New Hospitals to Care fol 3o,ooo Established By
 Government.

Washington, June 1O.-The hospital program of the U. Public Health Ser vice IS moving rapidly. Nine new hospi- tals, which will accommodate more than 5000 patients, are now being put into shape for early occupancy. Three of these, in Iowa, Montana, and Oregon, with a capacity for about 500 patients, should be III operation within two months Others will not be ready for a longer time. Especially will this be the case with three Army reservations, two of which has been abandoned for 10 to 20 months, which were specifically transfer red to the Service by Act of Congress.
 The Colfax hotel, at Colfax, Iowa, leased building with 13O acres of grounds, is being fitted to receive 200 patients: The Army hospital at Fort William Henry Harrison, near Helena, Mont, will be opened with 100 general patients, but may later be greatly ex banded. Additional money will be nec- essary to fit the buildings at Dawson Springs, near Hopkinsvil1e, Ky, for max inum usefulness; but the necessary funds are expected to be forthcoming and the hospital to be opened with 500 tubercu- lOsis patients within ike months. The Hahnemann hospital at Portland, Oreg., should be ready for 164 general patti ents by July 1, and the Speedway Hospi- tai at Chicago, for 1000 general patti ents by August l.
 Of the three Army posts specifically turned over by Congress, that at Fort Walla Walla is attractively situated near Walla Walla, Wash, on a low plateau ner the junction of the fruit and wheat ha1+ T1,o l,ao I<o aI1 year and, except for two brick bar racks, its buildings are in bad condition and must be rebuilt. It will shelter 284 tuberculosis patients.
 Fort Mckenzie, one mile northwest of Sheridan, Wyo, Is pleasantly situated against a northern shield of mountains Its brick building surround fine parade ground, once planted with trees, which, however, have suffered severely from lack of irrigation since the post was abandoned. Most of the region IS sparse ly timbered.
 The red brick buildings of Fort Lo- gan H Roots, near Little Rock, Ark, stand on a bluff overlooking the Arkansas River. During the war some temporary wooden buildings were erected, but most of these have been removed.
 Fort Mckenzie and Roots are each planned to accommodate more than 600 nerfous mental cases Each of the three posts is 1iely to be ready in less than six months.
 A naval station, at Gulfport, Miss, has just been taken over from the Navy by the Public Health Service and will be utilized as hospital or home either by the Service or by some other branch Ot the government

The City Manager Plan

In order that both sides of the City Manager Plan suggested for New Haven, and on which the voters will register on June IA, may be discussed, THE LABOR NEWS will publish the views of either side, without prejudice or taking any responsibility tor the arguments contained therein. Communications are, because of linn lted space, expected to be brief and to the point
 Having been in the manufacturing bus mess for twenty years and in direct con- tact with men and women who work for living, 1 am convinced that every work CT should be in favor of the proposed City Manager plan for the following reason, which are based on the experi7 ence of labor in cities where this plan i: i'll operation. Comparative facts are as follows:
 l. Labor initiated the movemer,' the City Manager Pla min Dubuque, Iowa. l he trade and labor congress stated in a letter to the City Manager of Dubuque ::
 Expressing he feeling of the labor ing people in general as to our change to lllC lIldIldSSI pldIl O1 SONSl we (dlI say with pleasure that there seems to a cooperative spirit among our people in support of your truly business ad1ninis- tration. This has been occasioned in large measure, even in former opponents to the plan, by your practical demonstration of it's principles"
 2 Mr. w. c. Lee, head of the Ma tional Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen states:
 q see nothing undemocratic in having the city manager selected by the commits sioners. A city manager doesn't rule anybody. He doesn't pass any laws. He doesn't determine any public policies.
 I'm for the City Manager Plan be- cause it makes possible the elimination of policies from public business and that means better government and lower taxes"
 }. The Trades and Labor assembly of Wheeling, West irginia, after long and full discussion fully and vigorously en- dorsed the City Manager Plan.
 These are facts which can be confirmed and are not mere fancies of the advocates of this plan. l trust you may find 1t possible to publish this letter in full on the first page of your paper.
