HIGH RENTS DUE TO PROFITEERING
 IN BUILDING MATERIALS, FIGURES
 GATHERED BY U. s. GOVERNMENT SHOW
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Sept. 7.-High rents are due to prohteerlng Tn the cost of building materials
 This is the conclusion derived from a study of Government figures, made by Ralph F. Couch, statistician. In an authoritative article, MT. Couch smashes the argument that high rents are largely due to high wages.
 Warning that rents, already at the highest level in history, will go even higher if prohteering in the building industry continues is given by MT. Couch, who goes on to say:
 Figures gathered by United States government departments show that the /high cost of building mate larger factor in building costs.
 Here is how high rents affect the general price structure:
 They stimulate demands for high CT wages, which causes higher prices for alls commodities. Furthermore, they enter permanently into living costs. Food goes up for few months or few years and then turns downward Rents stay up, and their effect is spread over generations. "Out of each dollar that the home owner pays for his house built this summer the workers will receive 25 cents, according to the information of Dr. John M Cries, chief of the, division of housing of the department of commerce. The other 75 cents is divided among manufacturers of building materials, contractors, spec n1ative builders and salesmen as profit and overhead.
 "When the labor cost on any given job is increased per cent, the cost of the house or building should be increased but one-fourth of I per cent. On the other hand. I per cent increase in the price of building materials and in the overhead and profit of the speculative builder means an increase to the purchaser of three fouEths of I per cent.
 Those behind the propaganda to decrease present wages in the build- ing trade lay emphasis on the state ment that in Detroit and other cities, unnamed, carpenters are receiving $I4 daily, or $I.75 an hour.
 According to the reports of the department of labor the union scale for carpenters, $I.25 an hour. isl

Pledge to Serve Public Is Ignored
 By Car Company

Newark, N J., Sept. 7.-The Pub lie Service Railway Company is char tered by the state to "serve the pub .lic," but 1t now notifies the New Jer- sey board of public utility commits sioners that 1t has the right to "sus7 pend service" until the board and 'representatives of the more promin- ent municipalities" pledge the com pany their cooperation in establish ing new rates of fare and eliminate bus competition by purchase.
 If the company's right to do this is conceded, says the board, it will ap- ply not only to trolley, but to all other utilities, including water, gas and electric companies.
 The company's employees are on strike to enforce a wage increase Prior to the walkout the company's president said if strike occurred, it will be some one else's funeral
 The company has been ordered by the utilities board to resume service There is fine of $Ioo a, day for fail ure to comply. The matter is now pending in the courts, and it will take at least four weeks to reach a decis- ion. No one believes the company will pay one cent. of the fine.

PROFITS ARE
 PILED UP; ALL RECORDS BROKEN

New York, Sept Wall street reports that industry has smashed all records and with increased cash and working capital it was never in a stronger position. Profits of undreamed size have been piled up by these captains of in- dustry and billions of dollars have been added to their industrial wealth. This process has continued while big business deplores high" wages and a scarcity of labor.
 Wall street figures show that prof it's have been enormous, and have even surprised the industrial barons themselves. Annual reports from Al representative companies show gain of $2,5o5,o8o, ,582 in working capital the past eight years. This means that after these companies paid dividends, fancy salaries to directors and execu- lives and stored away vast sums in depreciation and maintenance funds, there yet, remains more than two and one-half billion dollars in cash and in paper that can be quickly converted to cash.
 It is shown that during these eight years. the steel trust reduced its cap ital liabilities (paid off debts) to the amount ot SSo,34o,357 while at the same time it's enormous profits made 1t possible to add $2o3, 3,264,538 to it's working capital.
 These terrific profits are again shown in the report of the American Can Company which reduced it's bonded debt $4,3o8, 500 and added $2I, I,325,oII to working capital.
 The Baldwin Locomotive company reduced it's liabilities $I ,6oo,ooo and added $24752,o58 to working capital
 Corn products reduced it's bonded debt $o,456,247 and added $2o, ,oo8, 1897 to working capital.
 Similar gains are reported by Unit ed States Rubber, Du Pont Powder, Swift & Co.,, American Telephone & Telegraph and other combinations.
 Never in history has such golden stream flowed into the coffers of the few.

GOUCED
 BY HARVESTER TRUST

Madison, Wis, Sept 7.-The har- lvester trust and it's method of feecing the farmer is explained in the current | issue of La Follette's Magazine. The trust was organized 20 years ago with
 stock issue of $I2o, 1000, ,ooo. J. P.
 Morgan &, Go. took $3,45 I,8o3.34 of this amount "for services rendered and for legal expenses" Tn 1903 and 1904 the trust acquired three compet- ling plants and operated them secretly for several years. After nine years of the most merciless exploitation, the government started legal proceedings against the combine. These proceed ings were postponed during the war, and the trust took full advantage of it's opportunity to again play the role agents of the trust conducted cam paign of education" among the farm CTS.
 Speeches were made, editorials were written and pamphlets were cir culated to convince the farmer that implement prices were high because the manufacturers were paying ex- cessive wages to labor, and that the farmer himself was responsible for high prices, inasmuch as farm prod ucts, an important element in the cost of living, were bringing peak prices.
 Strange to say, when the farmer was defated in 1919, and farm prices suddenly slumped, the economic law cited by the harvester trust during the war did not operate to bring de- crease in the price of farm imple- ments. The trust continued to soak the farmer, and its prices today, based on the same methods of arbi- trary price-fxing which prevailed during. the war, are so excessive that the farmer is unable to purchase needed equipment"

Can't Divide Loyalty

New York; Sept. z.-Oficers of the International Ladies' Garment Work CTS union have given notice that hereafter members must face charges for unbecoming conduct if they assist in the formation of dual unions or organizations within the organiza- tion" The warning is signed by President Sigman and Secretary Bar off.
 Recently members of this union in Chicago were tried because of their membership in the trade union educa- fional league It developed that the leagues "educationaP claim is in- tended to hide it's dual character, and that 1t is built almost on the same model as the trade union movement. Ii was also shown that the league, po- 1itically, is under the direct control and guidance of the workers (com- rnunist) party of America, which is affiliated with the Moscow interna- fionale Tn their notice to the mem bership, President Sigman and Sec retary Baroff say:
 Under the titles of shop delegate league and under other disguises, members of some of our locals, often in cooperation with individuals out side the ranks of our union, are at tempting to set up a secret and ire sponsible control of the organization m the interests of a movement alien to our cause, and disruptive in its aims and character.
 "Such pernicious organizations within the organization can not be tolerated by our international union, and the general executive board, which is charged by our constitution with the general supervision over all affairs. of the organization, has deter mined to put stop to them"

Local Man Becomes
 Foot Comfort Expert
MT. B. Rutenberg Returns After Tak- ing Special Course in Foot An atomy and Foot Comfort Practice Under Direction of Wm. M.

It is no longer necessary for per- sons afflicted with foot troubles to wear 'freaky' shapes or over-sized shoes" This was the statement of MT. B. Rutenberg of Boston Branch Shoe Store, who has just returned from New York where he has been taking a special post graduate course in Practipedics (the science of giving foot comfort) given by the American School of Practipedics.
 Mr. B. Rutenberg said that all peo- pie can enjoy complete foot comfort while wearing the smart, neat fitting footwear of the prevailing mode. In many cases, he said, it is possible to actually wear a smaller size than ever, if the proper foot comfort ap- |pliance is used.
 In speaking of the course he has taken in Practipedics, he said he was exceptionally we'll pleased with it. He now feels confident that this sci entihc training will enable him to give the customers of his store far bet ter service than ever before.
 Mr. B. Rutenberg in explaining the course of study he had taken, said that it included a great deal of prac- tical dissecting and clinical work with numerous lectures by leading SpecIal- ists, including Dr. Wm. M. Scho1l, the internationally recognized authority. It also included study of foot an- atomy; foot troubles and their causes, the diagnosis of foot troubles and their correction through the use of orthopedic appliances. The consider alton of modern shoe fitting methods with reference to foot needs and ap- pearance was also a feature.
 MT B. Rutenberg makes no charge for his examination of feet or for his expert advice. Naturally he is kept busy giving relief to those who come to him with foot discomforts. Nothing is too simple or too serius for him. Whether 1t is a mere corn or a pronounced case of flat foot, he will give 1t the same careful consid- eration.

Trade Commission Finds S'Trust" Bars
 Competition

By International Labor News Service.
 New York, Sept. "A well de- veloped dress pattern trust" taking 3 large toll from the women of America, has been revealed by an in- vestigation made by the Federal Trade Commission.
 The "trust" is composed of the Butterick Company, the Federal Pub fishing Company, Standard Fashion Company, Butterick Publishing Com pany, New Idea Pattern Company and Designer Publishing Company, all of New York City The concerns are affiliated through consolidation in some instances and in others by joint stock ownership and control approx imately 40 per cent. of the dress pat tern industry.
 The trade commissions investiga- ton reveals why dress patterns are sold at the same uniformly high prices in every city and why deal- CT sells only one particular make of pattern.
 It was found that the six companies mentioned above made contracts with dealers throughout the country spec flying that the dealers must agree not to sell any other make of pat terms and not to sell Butterick pat terms except at labeled prices. It was also found that each of the com panies has uniformly refused to per init any dealer, with whom 1t has a contract for the sale of it's products, to sell any other make of pattern.
 As result of the investigation, the trade commission has issued an order prohibiting the members of the "pat- tern trust" from selling their pat terms on any agreement fixing retail prices.
