MUST Be
SACRIFICED SAYS
LABOR DEFENDER

Chicago, March 23.-Character-
izing the present principles of
wage adjustments as unjust, H. M
Jewell, president of the Railway
employees department Of the Amer
ican Federation OF Labor, told the
railroad labor board today that
costs and wages should remain
constant, even to the elimination
OF profits, and that until that eco
nomlc policy was accepted, con
flict between capital and labor
would continue.
Mr.. Jewell opened his fight
against general wage reductions
sought by 205 railroads before the
board today. He treated as ir-
relevant all carriers argument of
lower living costs and lower wag-
es in other industries; he assert
ed 1.-The so-callea law of supply
and demand will never afford a
living wage in a system organ
lied according to modern business
principles" and declared for liv-
ing wage for all productive work
ers of the country.
Labor Must Come First.
Interest and profits must not
continue, while the working man
suffers low wages and unemploy-
ment, Mr.. Jewell asserted, III p.c
senting his theory of the living
wage.
I'VE have here TO challenge the |
justice of the wage rate of all
productive labor, to challenge the
very principle upon which the
railroads propose that rates of pay
be adjusted" said Mr.. Jewell. |
I'VE propose to show how the en-
tire purpose for which industry is
operated can snd must be
changed
THE so-called law OF supply
and demand will never afford a
living wage in a system organized
according to modern business
principles.
Out Of the annual yield of any
industry" Mr.. Jewell continued.
three things are being paid

Famine May Claim 10 Mil lion People - Americans Are Feeding Nearly 1,OOO,O0O Children Over There.

Moscow, Jan. 5 (By Associated Fress)-Russia has begun the year 1922 with eight months horror before her and the dread that next sum- mer's crop may only slightly relieve the famine.
 At Tsaratsin, Saratoff, Samara, Ufa. Orenburg kazen frozen bodies are stacked high awaiting burial in trenches which workmen cannot pre- pare fast enough for the victims of famine, exposure and typhus and every day the situation is growing worse.
 American relief workers who origin ally cautiously placed the number of probable deaths in the famine area this winter at 2,000,0OO now say that j,000,0 ,000 is low estimate and many say that 10000, GOO or even more, may perish from famine. This is possible particularly since the shortage of horses, oxen, camels makes it impossi- ble to reach the more remote sections and since it is predicted the typhus epidemic probably will be the worst that Russia has ever suffered
 The Americans are feeding nearly 1, 1,000,0o0 children and the British and various other organizations are fur nishing nourishment for at least 100,- 0o0 under the most dangerous condi- tons.

NEW DOLLARS FOR
 OLD AT NATIONAL
Local Banking Institution Receives 1000 Peace Dollars''
 For Distribution.

One thousand shiny new "peaCe dol- lars" have been received in this city by the New Britain National bank and will be distributed to the cus- toners of the bank, one at time, in lieu of other currency of a like de- nomination, while the supply lasts.
 New York member banks of the Federal Reserve system received but 100 of these dollars apiece and there was a great demand for them there. The local bank considers itself partic- ularly fortunate in having received a large supply. The dollars were struck off as an observance of the approval of peace to this country, making them desirable as souvenirs.
 They are slightly smaller than the old silver "cartwheel and resemble somewhat the general appearance of recently issued quarters and dimes. One side bears the legend United States of America-E. Pluribus Unum' in large letters forming half circle parellel with the circumference. On the same side is an American eagle, with folded wings, bearing in his claw an olive branch. At his feet is the word Peace" The words "One Dollar nearly bisect this face of the coin.
 The opposite side bears a statue of liberty head, the word "Liberty'' in semi-circular form and the legend "In God We Trust" with the date "1921."

London. Jan. 5. (By Associated Dali Eireann is quoted in a Central News dispatch from Dublin today as saying in d statements:
 "I can definitely state that, as the position stands. the treaty will be de- feated by at least two votes."
 T take full responsibility for mak- ing that statement" continued Walsh. The decision will likely be taken late tonight, and l feel that it is of tho greatest importance and of vital in- terest for every constituency to real- ize the exact position"
 Won't Contradict Report.
 The Central News correspondent says other deputies who were querted in regard to Walshs statement said they would not attempt to contradict it, and that their manner of saying so confirmed the serious fears generally entertained.
 Prominent opposition members were quoted as saying their side was fav- ored by the recess taken by the Dali this morning and that the net result had been at least one vote more on the anti-treaty side.
 Dali Adjourns.
 Dublin Jan. 5. (By Associated Press)-The Dali Eireann met this morning and immediately adjourned until three o'clock this afternoon.
 The adjournment was to give the members an opportunity of discussing the situation created by presentation of Ramon De Valeras alternative pro- posals. It was regarded by many ob- servers of the proceedings as a hope full sign that some form of agreement might be reached.
 May Let It Pass.
 One member of the Dali said short- ly after the adjournment that an ef- fort would be made to reach an agree ment on the plan proposed the other day by Michael Collins-that the op- ponents of the treaty should abstain from voting and permit the treaty to pass.
 It was argued by proponents of this plan that harmony could thus be se- cured and that the opponents of the treaty, if they liked. could appeal to the electorate by means of a plebis- cite
 Await Dc Valcra'S Attitude.
 MT. De Valeras attitude it was said would determine whether an agree ment could be reached between the opposing factions.
 It was indicated that if the oppon- ents of the treaty decided to make an effort to introduce Mir. De Valera's alternative proposals as an amend ment to the ratification motion an eff fort would be made to limit debate.

TO CLOSE N. & ]. STORE
With Lowered Cost of Living, Con- pany Says, Need of Such an Or ganiZatiOn Has Passed.

North X Judd Manufacturing com pany has decided to close the grocery store it has maintained for employees, effective at an early date.
 The store was opened in the spring of 1917, the first of it's kind in New Britain. The aim of the company in inaugurating such an undertaking was to give employees the benefit of the saving effected by buying in large quantities and selling at a mar gin of profit only large enough to cover overhead expenses. All risk was assumed by the company, which invested its own money and did not ask its workmen to become co-part- ners in the venture.
 Now that the cost of living has de- clined materially, the company feels that the store has served it's pur- pose and it will be discontinued

 The speakers message to the Ro- tarians was as follows:
