ployers, that 1t has been our priv.
ilege to see, contained a clause re.
quiring the employer to pay the
employee on Saturday Of each week,
and since the employer does not
get his money each Saturday he
has money invested In his men the
same as In materials.
The writer tells us "the cost Of
living is now IS per cant. higher
than eight years ago" Let us con
graduate him that he, has made at
least one statement that is near
truth. But in order that he may
not be accused of telling the truth,
he says 1t is taken from govern.
ment records.
But he does not tell his "dear
public" how much higher the wage
rate is now than eight years ago,
but by referring to some pay rolls
of the year 1918 we find the rate for
carpenters was 40 cents per hour,
and all other crafts in about the
same proportion, while the present
rate Is $1.00 per hour or only 150
per cent. higher under the "direc.
ton" OF the Building Trades Coun.
Gil. And II we should now fix the
wage rate at a as per cent. increase
over 1913 we would have wage
rate OF IS cents for carpenters In.
stead OF so cants as adoptei by
the Builders Exchange, which Is
100 per cent. over the 1913 rate.
AS an individual we believe the
Builders Exchange rate is fair and
adequate as compared to the pres.
ent costs OF living. But the spokes.

ing on the public. When It is
shown above the contractors profits
are based on percentage OF costs
and automatically decrease or in.
crease along with the cost OF labor
and materials.
Now dear public" can you be.
lieve any set Of men who had the
brain even OF q tailless tadpole or
Of the Trades Council would have
the nerve to yell the contractors are
exploiting the workers and prof..
teering of the public, in face OF tho
facts as set forth above?
But dear public" the $50 per cent
increase Of wage rate does not rep.
resent all Of the amount OF just how
dear the Trades Council has been
to you.
Since as the wages increased the
efficiency Of the workers decreased,
and the amount of decrease Of eff,
cheney will vary from is to 40 per
cent. and more In some special
cases, and II you will add the in.
creased wage rate to the decrease
OF efficiency you will get some idea
OF what It has cost you to have your
work done under the director" OF
the Building Trades Council. You
can also have some idea of the ex.
tent Of profiteering by the. contrac.
tors.
However IN order to be entirely
fair we do not wish the public t.
understand that the charge OF in.
efficiency applies to all workers
without exception. since there was
a few men both in and out Of the
labor organizations who delivered
fair days work for their pay.
Now II the contractors could see
no further ahead or had no though,
than how much they can get out Of
the dear public" for one day they

AMERICAN SHIPS
ALWAYS TERRITORY
OF U.s., HAND RULES
Everywhere Subject to Our
Laws, Judge Holds Deciding
Liquor Law Question.
DOUBTS LOSS TO LINES,
Boats Which Clear From Bel
gian Ports Excepted From
Dry Restrictions.

Judge Learned Hand in the U. S
District Court to-day ruled in sup
Elementary decision in the cases Of
the International Mercantile Marine
and the United American Lines that
American ships, wherever they may
be, are subject to the police" regula-
tions of the Eighteenth Amendment,
After holding that the Eighteenth
Amendment should apply to all terri
tory subject to United States juris
diction. Judge Hand termed the
Eighteenth Amendment a police regu-
lation.
1T would be a curious thing" the
decision went, ''if country profess
ing under its fundamental law to for
bid the use Of intoxicants were to
allow them without stint upon ships
that sailed under it's flag. The only
distinction pressed is the disastrous
| consequences to an American nner-
chant marine, if Of all ships ours alone
are within this ban.
I'm the first place, the discriinina-
/ Ition applies only to passenger ves-
sells, which are a small part OF any
merchant marine. The whole argu-
mept. however. is misconceived. The
Eighteenth Amendment involved the
destruction at a blow Of property
values far greater than that of the
whole passenger fleet. The motives
which directed it disregarded ordinary
commercial interests; II was reform
based upon the belief that the use OF
alcohol was one Of the great evils OF
modern life. against whose utter ex-
tirpation no present rights Of prop
erty might stand.
II conclude, therefore, that a ship
OF American registry at sea or within
foreign port is within the scope Of
the amendment and Of Section 8, and
the bills must be dismissed,
The decision, however, granted n
stay against prosecution Of United
States ships under Belgian registry
since the Belgian law requires q Ger
tain ratio OF wine for all passengers
without which clearance papers ar,
denied.
Cletus Keating, counsel for the In
ternational Mercantile Marine Com
pany, American Line, said that If the
ruling OF Judge Hand was sustained
by the SuEreme Court it would mean
the deathknell of American shipping
so far as passenger traffic was con-
cerped. He declares that the decision
would be appealed by his company. >

How and When to Meet Legal

Settled, He Says.

Elbert H. Gary. Chairman Of the
United States Steel Corporation.
speaking at the semi-anaual meeting
of the American Iron and Steel In
stitute to-day, advocated a new in
ternational peace conference to be held
at Washington. declared against the
cancellation OF European war debts
md spoke in favor of full publicity
IN industrial disputes.
Speaking of his proposal for new
peaco conference, he said:
"lf there is such conference. par

ncalculable good to all concerned.
They would not discuss how to over

rather how and when to fulfil them
without irreparable injury to any one

on the war dents he SAID:
Americans generally would not be
content with Governmental action
which relieved from debt the citizens
Of a foreign nation by increasing the
burdens Of the former Likewise
fore' gners generally would oppose anv
enforced act Of charity. Certainly It
would he abhorrent to the business
men and women OF both countries.

There are no obstacles to continued
prosperity in the iron and steel busl-
ness in the United States, the speaker
asserted. except such as may arise
from interference with the natural
course Of supply and demand. Touch
ing on the recent coal ahd rail strikes,
he said that II the natural course OF

be enjoying success and prosperity
