LABOR WILL SUFFER
 IF SUBSIDY PASSES

Washington, Dec. 8.-Labor is op-
 posed to the pending ship subsidy bill l for the dual reason that 1t will under 1 mine the safeguards created by the | La Toilette seamen's law and because
 labor is opposed to the subsidy prin- ciple, said statement issued by the A. F. of L. executive council, at its
 quarterly session in A. F. of L. head quarters
 "In addition to it's proposed de
 struction of the standards of the
 workers at sea, the bill proposes a
 drain. on the public treasury which was amazingly understated by the
 President and which would, beyond
 question, lead in the near future to the creation of great shipping com pines which would control the ship ping business of the country, driving Gut all small competition. The gov ernment would become a great part guaranteeing, meanwhile, the profits of those fortunate enough to become partners in the trust
 Perhaps the most emphatic reason for opposing the subsidy bill as such IS the fact that once enacted 1t can not be repealed for 20 years. No suc- ceeding congress can undo the wrong. The reason for this is that the bill provides for the making of 2o-year contracts between the government and shipping interests. Once made, these contracts could not be voided.
 Labor looks upon the ship subsidy bill as one of the most amazing treas ury grabs of the decade, and 1t re- peats with emphasis what the Presi- dent has referred to as insinuations of favoring special interests. Labor ls' not insinuating that special inter ests will be favored by the bill. Labor is stating as fact that special inter ests will be favored and to most lavish degree
 '''It is proposed that this outrage ous proposition shall be enacted into law by congress that has been re- pudiated by the people.
 "The present lame duck congress, most of the leaders of. which will, after March 4 go into retirement, has no moral right to infict upon the country an outrage so preposterous."

"STOP MILITARISM.
 CHURCH MEN PLEAD

1 Baltimore, Dec. 8.-In their socia and economic program the board o bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, in conference here, declared for "the substitution of service fo1 reward and the discovery of the spir- itual value of labor"
 We look with profound concern upon the havoc wrought by our recent war;" said the bishops. -Four years of bewildering chaos. Millions of European, Asiatic, and American youths gave their lives at the call of dealism
 "Certainly those of us who live should. have the courage to practice the ideals for which we enlisted them in battle.
 Tt is sad to contemplate the pos sibility of our dead having died in vain, but sadder still that we should now live in vain.
 We deplore the unjust accumula ton and negotiable distribution of huge surplus profits by some fnan- cia1 corporations. We insist that the, Christian principles of liberty shall be applied alike. K
 "We deplore the distribution of re- wards of conquest i'll the form of gov ernmental monopolies and territorial control for personal and selfish advan- tage.
 "We deplore the investment of tax es in armaments and pompous dis play, and urge the nations of the world not only to limit but to destroy this bulwark of hatred.
 We pledge ourselves to cooperate with all governmental, social, and re- ligious bodies that seek a practical program to heal the suspicious and hates which wound mankind today. Various suggestions are being made. Ours is not an exclusive voice.
 America unhesitatingly should ac- cept her full responsibility for lead ershp in the restoration of a broken world.
 "She should not acquiesce in imper- ialistic policies and tempers that make war inevitable.
 "She should refuse to sanction any war except for strictest self-defense or the defense of humanity.
 "She should continue to advocate universal disarmament and should not hesitate in asking that an interna- tional conference be called for this great purpose" .-

ONE REASON WHY
 PRICES ARE HIGH

Atlantic City, Dec. 8-"Too many Americans are trying to float on the shingle of retailing" said William c. \ Shepherd, addressing the annual .ses- sion of the Association of National Advertisers.
 "For every three farmers in the United States there is some on behind a counter. For every four workmen in the factories of the United States there is a store clerk or store man. ager or store owner waiting to sell what the workrnen produce. We think we have lot of railroad men in the United States. We have; but it takes as many store clerks standing behind counters to sell goods to us it does men to carry these goods in trans portation, to keep the railroads i'll re- pair and the rolling stock in good condition. For every 40 families in the United States there is retail store Smuggling under this heavy burden these American families have discovered that the job can not be done by having only one member of the family at work.
 "It has actually come about that dad, who used to feed and clothe the old-fashioned American family of five persons, has found himself unable to hold up his end Census figures in dicate that at least one member of the family must assist dad to do the fathers part in keeping the retail stores in his community alive. And at that he doesn't do it. Five grocery men out of every 100 fail every year"
