A PARODY.

(To the tune of "Old Black Joe.O Gone are the days when the boys were young and gay; Gone are the bars, where they gave free lunch away; Gone are the songs that we sang those days of yore; No more we hear their voices calling Just one more." I'm drinking, I'm drinking, at the soda fountain now; It seems that things are going to the bow-wow-wow. Why do I weep when I see a groc'ry store? Why do I sigh when I'm getting less for more, Grieving for food at the prices long ago? It seems my pocketbook keeps say ing, So long, Bo!" I'm blowin' my dough in, with the prices staying high; Like Bonnie Annie Laurie, lay me down and die.

SENATOR CHARGES
 JUGGLING VALUES
Ladd Attacks U. s. Reserve Board and the Fordney Tariff
 Bill.

Washington, Sept 2.-Forty-t three billion dollars have been lost to the people of the United States through forced unnatural defation," declared Senator E. F. Ladd of North Dakota in an address before the Southern Tariff Congress at Greensboro, N C.
 Easing his figures on the recent tes-
 timony of John Skelton Williams,
 former comptroller of currency, be- fore the joint commission of Congress
 making inquiry into agricultural con ditions, Senator Ladd said the nation
 is indebted to MT. Williams for en-
 Tightening 1t as to the workings of the
 Federal reserve system as carried out
 by seven men who have the power to
 inf1ate and contract without regard to
 the government.
 We have recently witnessed the
 methods pursued under the guidance
 of these uncontrolled guardians of our
 money for further enslaving the peo- pie of our country" said the senator. Having inflated the currency until the dollar Is worth 40 cents, the gov ernment proceeds to borrow $24ooo,- GOO, ,ooo to help pay the expenses of
 the great world war. The real value of these dollars was not to exceed SIP 100000, 1000 in purchasing power
 under normal conditions
 "The same seven men proceeded to def1ate the purchasing power of the dollar, and now the government will have to liquidate that debt; that is the common people, the real workers of
 the land, will pay for the most of it on a basis representing the value of $50, o,ooo, ,ooo,o when expressed in terms of agricultural products" Senator Ladd recommended an alli- 1 ance between the South and West to prevent the farmers from becoming ! the prey of the great manufacturing | centers. "The farmer can not remain silent over a tariff bill," he said, l (which affords 10 per cent. protection ] on raw hides and then gives I5o per cent. protection to leather products,
 so smoothly hidden that the average person who buys shoes and harness | does not know what is the trouble" i The senator predicted that the Fordney tariff bill, if enacted into law,
 would plunge the farmers into a
 worse debt than ever before, as 1t was
 of no benefit to the Stockman, the sheep industry, the grain grower or to the agricultural growers of the South and West. It was a bill to take from the producers and give to the manu-
 lecturers, grain and stock dealers and
 jobbers.

BRITISH WORKERS
 FARE BETTER THAN
 THOSE OF AMERICA
Members of Parliament Comment on Conditions Here After Tour
 of Inquiry.

After a three weeks survey of in dustrial and labor conditions in this country, coupled with an observation or two on the prohibition question, C. H. Sitch and J. E. Davison, two Labor party members of the British House of Commons, sailed away for home last week under the impression that the lot of British workers compares very favorably with labor conditions in the United States.
 MT. Davison said that he was par ticularly surprised in his investigation of wage scales in this country to find that there has been a greater wage cut here than in England. 'On the whole," he said, I've find that the British unskilled laborer is much bet ter off than the American. 1 should say that the proportion of unemploy- ment here is also greater. Then again, the British unskilled laborer has an advantage in that 1t costs him about half as much to live there as it does here. While probably the skill ed tradesnan in America Is paid a higher scale than in England, he loses it in the higher cost of living"
 MT. Sitch said he couldn't under stand why the American women WOrkerS are not better organized. In England, he said, the women of all industrial classes are organized and that their pay nearer approached that of the men than here.
 'Yes, we encountered a few work CTS here who were sore over pro- hibition, but from some of the brands of near beer we sampled it would appear that they have small grounds for COmDlaint YOur near beer is not half bad In one saloon in Philadel- phia, serving only near beer, fellow was staggering about the room quite

COST OF LABOR IN
 PAIR OF SHOES IS
 SMALL FACTS SHOW
Workers Journal Analyzes Costs and Develops Startling
 Figures.

Boston, Sept. 2-Editor Baine of the Shoe Workers Journal lifts the lid" on shoe prices, and in explaining why labor refuses to accept wage re- ductions in this industry he shows who is profteering.
 Before the war, he says, the labor cost of a pair of shoes retailing at $3.5o ranged around % cents. Later this shoe sold as high as SIP and the labor cost advanced to $I or 8H per cent. of the retail price.
 ''Shoes that retailed at $2o or over would show still smaller percent age of labor cost in proportion to the selling price at retail,' he says.
 During the period of advance, shoe prices were made without req son. The excuse given the consumers was the high cost of material and la pair of shoes was blaming labor for it. He was asked what he supposed labor received for making that pair of shoes and he replied: Probably four or five dollars When told that labor received less than $I 30 he was astounded.
 For something over year we have had a falling market for shoe materials. Prices for shoe materials now very nearly equal pre-war prices. Yet manufacturers and dealers seem unable to make shoe prices anywhere near pre-war levels
 "A manufacturer said he wanted to make a shoe to sell to dealers at $6, to be sold at retail at $o, and, would like a reduction in labor cost The same shoe used to be sold to the re- taller at $285 and retailed at $4 La Dor receives about 40 cents per pair | more on that shoe.
 'Labor was asked to contribute from it's 40 cents to help the manu- facturer sell at $6 what he used to sell at $285, when his market for raw l materials is nearly the same as before l the war.
 "There are other instances of pro- posed reduction in labor cost that that have no better foundation than the one just related. It is not strange operate for such ends
 causes of the public resentment against the shoe business that results l in the jeering of a shoe manufacturer on the floor of the house of repre-
 sentatives at Washington. We know there are circumstances somewhat extenuating, such as high rents, freight and other expenses, but still 1t is in order for manufacturers | and dealers to introduce little team work into their lead pencils. Labor declines to be the goat for the public prejudice to pay the freight for margins that a few years | ago would have seemed extremely ex- traVagant"

Bar Smoking in Woods.

CMOKING, during periods Of FIRE danger on
- national forest lands within the cycione-s"ept
area Of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington has
been prohibited by Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
Exception Is made on improved camping grounds or
places OF habitation.
The area covered by the smoking order amounts
to some $4,000 acres, and includes all OF the Olympic
national forest Of line extending from the east
end OF Lake Qunault. The period OF fire danger is
to be determined and publicly announced by the dis
trict forester at Portland, Greg.
The FIRE trap created by the cyclone of January 49,
which swept the forests Of the Olympic Peninsula in
wind estimated to have reached $50 miles an hour is
the worst known in the history OF the country Over
675o,oooooo feet Of timber strip OF ninety miles
long and from twenty to thirty miles wide, was blown
down by the storm and now lies in a tangled mass
The greatest damage done State and private
ands only about 200 oonooo feet Of national forest
timber being windhrown. Should FIRE ever gain head
way in this devastated foresters that the most
stupendous conagration in the annals Of the nation
would result.
Realizing the menace Of fire in this great blow
down area, the State and Federal governments are
cooperating in protection to insure its safety
and have each appropriated fund of 100000 for fire
detection and suppression Roads, trails and telephone
lines have been constructed through the blowdown,
and special FIRE fighting motor trucks, equipped with
several thousand feet OF hose and portable pump
engine, located central points for emergency
Guards will be stationed all main lines of travel
throughout the region to that enters except
under special permit Aerial fire patrol will also be
maintained from Camp Lewis Wash, during the danger
season. through cooperation of the Air Service United
States army, with the Forest Service.
