 Efforts to Reduce Living Costs
 The argument in favor of return to something like the cost of living which prevailed before the war finds ready acceptance among all sorts of people, including labor, organized and unorganized, indeed, the American people as a whole has become eager to reduce the cost of living, and sees clearly that the high cost which the war brought about cannot be reduced substantially unless the war wages are lowered in all the industries which deal with the necessaries of life. Hence the great majority of the American people are coming to the conclusion that strikes should no longer be allowed in industries which deal with the necessaries of life, in- cluding transportation. Within this great majority will be found today hundreds of thousands of men and women who are accounted members of trades unions but who set the general interest of the community-including their own-above the interests of their special class. Of course, wages rose during and after the war in rail- roading, the building trades, and many other callings until they bore no significant relation to the cost of living. These high, wages established in prudent families new standards of living which it is not for the public

Wife Can't Drive Car
Without a License

The day of the family automobile
has gone by in Jersey. No longer may
mother or the boys drive fathers car
around the Jersey roads, relying upon
fathers driving license to get them
by. Just lending his car to his wife
cost George Rusosano $50 in the Eliza
beth police court yesterday, and the
fact that John Rumianowski took his
fathers car out cost father S25.
Mrs. Rusosano was fined SIS for
driving without license, although she
was in her husbands car, and John
Rumianowski had to pay SIS on the
same charge, while Johns brother was
fired SIS for impersonating his father
and displaying his fathers driving
License as his own.
"No one can drive a car in Jersey
without a drivers license" is the
edict, and the man who lends his car
to his relatives is compromising an
offense against the law, unless they
also hold licenses.
