WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 18.--
Notwithstanding the American work
or is today receiving less real wages
than before the war, the American
employer is determined to force him
back to still lower wages.
An accurate comparison of union
wage scales with living costs cover
ing a period of twenty years shows
conclusively that, measured by the
amount of food, shelter and clothing
his pay will purchase, the worker
now is infinitely worse off than he
was at the beginning of the present
century.
So declares Senator Robert M. La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, who recently
delivered in the senate perhaps the
most sensational deliverance yet made
on the conditions Of the working peo-
pie.
In terms of what money will buy,
the track-laborer on the railroads
today is receiving in exchange for
his toll only $341 a year, Senator
LaFollette said.
That means that these men, hun
dreds of thousands of them, have
been reduced to a level of 81 a day
which shows that they have got
back to normally" with a vengeance
Not satisfied with thrusting them
below the level of subsistence, rail-
road managers are today before the
United States Railroad Labor Board
demanding still further wage cuts.
The railroads ask the Labor Board
to make the daily wage Of laborers
$3.50 for a ten-hour day. Measured
by the purchasing power of 1900, this
will be equivalent to only fifty cents.
This" says Senator LaFollette,
"would be less than Chinese coolies
were paid in the days when the Pa
cific railroads were permitted to i'm
port them freely and exploit them
numerically"
Senator LaFollette directed the
attention of the senate to a great
conspiracy that has been Matched by
the masters of American finance
and business" to destroy labor unions
which alone stand between workers
and serfdom. Labor is being crushed
he said, by the processes of unem-
ployment and wage cutting.
To-day there are five or six mil
lion toilers in the United States who
are out of work" continued Senator

RAIL PRESIDENTS
SABOTAGE NATION

Two of the harshest critics Of fed
eral control of railroads are Presi-
dents Samuel Rea, of the Pennsyl-
vania. and Daniel Willard, of the
Baltimore & Ohio. Before the SEN
ate committee on interstate COM
merce and various other forums they
made detailed indictments of the al
legged inefficiency of government
management.
A possible reason for this antago-
nism is supplied by William G. Nc
Adoo, who, testifying before the SEN
ate committee offered correspond
ence between the railroad administra-
ton and Rea and Willard, showing
that first they were severely reprl-
manded for laying down on the job"
when the nation was bending its
energies to the winning of the war,
and subsequently were. fired when
they disregarded a warning that they
were on trial.
In his letter to Rea, Mr.. McAdoo
said, among other things:
1--WE are in a great war, and eX-
cuses are not worth anything. The
only thing that tells now is results.
The public demands them, and the
life of this nation demands them.
81 would not be candid if | did not
tell YOU that | am not fully satisfied
with the efficiency of the manage
ment of the Pennsylvania railroad.
| believe that great improvements
can be made, and | look to you and
the officers of that system to bring
that improvement about at the earl
lest possible moment.
"My personal regard makes me
anxious for your success. But a!
would not be frank if l did not tell
YOU that unless there is a decided
Improvement in the efficiency of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad system
change of management will become
inevitable"
The warning letter to Willard,
presaging his early retirement, said
in part:
tell YOU that | am dissatisfied with
the management of the Baltimore &
Ohio. | think it has proven ineffi-
cient and unequal to the present sit
uation. | am sure it can be improv-
ed. and | expect improvement.
II speak thus frankly because L
feel that you ought to know that a
change i'm the management of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad will be
inevitable unless better results are
speedily obtained.
Better results" were not obtained,
and Reea and Willard were retired
from active participation in railroad
operation.
Ever since they have been throw
ing mud at government operation OF
the railroads.

Bathtub Story
Consider the bathtub!


The history of its development is
almost as interesting as the story
Of other luxuries of yesterday, ne
cessities of today-electricity gas,
the telephone and street car.
The bathtub was compelled to put
up hard struggle for a permanent
place in the home.
The first bathtub in the United
States was built in Cincinnati, and
installed in a home there in 1912.
1t was made of mahogany, lined with
sheet lead, and was proudly eXhib-
tied by it's owner at Christmas par
ty. Next day it was denounced in
the newspapers as luxurious, un-
democratic vanity.
Then came the medical men and
declared it menace to health. In
1S43, Philadelphia tried to prohibit
bathing between November and
March Is, by ordinance. In 1915,
Boston made bathing unlawful eX-
cept prescribed by physician. Vir-
glnia taxed bathtubs $50 year.
Today. the bathtub is in every
modern home and its frequent use
is recommended and urged by all
medical men and health authorities,
There was a day wien electricity,
gas the telephone and street car
were scoffed at as "luxuries" and
"vanities." Business and society
couldn't get along without them to-

PRACTICAL MINERS ATTEND
UNIVERSITY SHORT COURSE

The twenty-fifth annual short
course in mining at the University OF
Washington is now in session. 1t
extends from January to March ".
The course is offered to anyone
interested in prospecting, mining,
milling, assaying, or smelling, by
II of the instructors in the college
of mines.
No examination is necessary for
admission and no experience except
the ability to read and write English
is required.
The instruction is given by lee
lures, laboratory, and visits to plants
of Seattle and Tacoma. A group of
mining experts is engaged each year
to lecture.
Prospectors and miners may bring
their own ores and minerals for
study in the laboratory. Past ex-
perience and the future aims of the
students are taken into consideration
by the instructors.
Many men with no practical eX-
perience, but with interest in min
ing, have obtained excellent results
from the course, according to Dean
Roberts.
The studies may be classed under
three general heads: quartz mining,
placer mining. and coal mining.

RAILROAD WORKERS BACK TO
NORMALCY,," REDUCED TO $1OO
Railroads Ask Labor Board to Reduce Them to
Fifty Cents Day

LaFollette, land their families are
hungry, to the end that their spirit
may be crushed and a new generation
of serfs may be bred"
This evil combination against the
workers is made more formidable
and terrifying because it has enlisted
the active support and cooperation
of the national administration and
the courts.
"The United States supreme court
and the lower courts" Senator La
Toilette charged, "are depriving the
workers of their weapons of defense
one by one and seeking to bind them
with chains. so that their masters
may with impunity scourage them
into submission"
No such combination has ever been
arrayed together for an evil pur-
pose in the history of this country.
Beside it. the slave power pales into
insignificance by the record that is
being made by the federal courts at
this time.
"This effort to crush labor" says
Senator LaFollette, "and reduce free
born Americans to the condition of
Russian serfs, may succeed, although
| still have such faith in the cour-
age and integrity of the American
people that / believe they will final
ly achieve a glorious victory as over
whelming as that which crushed the
slave power in 1865. But, in any
event, success can be achieved by
these sinister forces only after
period of strife and chaos which is
too horrible to contemplate, and
their success, however and whenever
accomplished, will mark the downfall
of all the American republic"
Any attempt to further depress
wages, the senator said, would be dis
astrous. He contended that the work
er today is living below the level of
decent subsistence. The worker dur
ing the war did not profiteer, con-
trary to popular belief, but, like Alice
in Wonderland. was compelled to
run twice as fast to keep in the same
place. The calumnies uttered against
labor, Senator LaFollette said, were
shameless, wanton and wicked. While
profiteering was rife in business and
finance, labor contributed Loyalty
and generously to the winning of the
war, and is getting in reward treat
ment so brutal, so unjust, that de-
cent opinion must stand appalled, at
it's mere contemplation.

Change in the Body

Old age is rare belief, for in fact
the cells which constitute our bodies
never grow old. The body is under a
continual state of change. Each cell
in our body is born, grows, natures,
reproduces, and wastes away, but
never grows old.
Some scientists declare that the
body undergoes a complete change
every eleven months.
The doctors vaccinate a child or an
adult, and assume that the VAGINA
ton is preventative for smallpox;
but it must be renewed every seven
years.
The subconscious mind is capable
of rebuilding new cells in any part
of the body, and if properly in
structed, will keep the cells always
young and healthy. If it were not
for our conscious mind, and the con-
scious mind of others, men and wo-
men would live indefinitely.
Human beings do not give their
bodies due consideration. They eat
food in and out of season without
that are needed to supply energy;
they clog and poison their systems
by eating too much, especially meat
they drink too little water, and do
not take proper exercise.
Men always can have unfailing
strength and permanent activity.
Years always should bring wisdom,
but never decrepitude. The achieve
ments of so many of the worlds
greatest characters after they have
passed the proverbial three score
and ten, should be a rebuke to those
who adopt the cane habit and retire
from active participation in affairs.
Humboldt composed his "Vosmos"
in his ninetieth year. John Wesley,
who at eighty-two, in the midst of
his activities. said: ut is twelve
years now since | have felt any such
sensation as fatigue" proves that
old age beliefs are illegitimate.-
