RENT INCREASE
SHOWS WAGES
STILL SHORT

The average rent increase over 1914
Is placed at Is per cent. says the
national industrial conference board
IN a report made public recently.
Rents have doubled In the Twin
Cities ia many localities during the
same period, Houses that rented for
S35 and $40 a month in 1914 are now
bringing $40 aud $S5.
There is a notable tendency TO de
crease rents TO students In the Uni
persitY district. This is said TO re
suit from the mammoth building pro
gram that has been for the past year.
With Il fall in rent II Is expected that
food prices viii decrease.
Restaurant prices are lower In Dan
vile and Decatur than Ia Champaign
or Urbana. In second class restau-
rants the working man may procure a
meal in Danylle for % per cent less
than he will pay in Champaign.
Larger eastern cities report that
the peak OF rent prices has been at
tanned. In 75 per cent of the western
cities, answering the request for fig
ures, an increase in rents was re-
ported at II to 20 per cent.
Average living costs have increased
20 per cent since 1914. The increase
in wages has not kept pace with In
crease along other lines.

REVOLUTIONISTS TELL WORKERS ONE
THING AND MEAN ANOTHER

The proposed "amalgamations
scheme that is bringing discord TO some
trade unions is revolutionary political
movement.
Its directors affect great interest
in conditions of workers. This is stage
play. They are interested in revolu-
tion-in an overthrow of our social.
economic, and POLITICAL orders.
This is impossible, the revolution
iSt frankly declares, unless organized
workers can be made the arch to the
revolutionary structure.
They would imbue the workers
with their revolutionary spirit and
marshal, drill, and discipline them in
vast industrial units that can paralyze
industry when the revolutionary hour
strikes.
The man who ignores this program
is either blind to facts or he can be
swayed by soft phrases and nursery
tales.
No observing man denies that the
founders of the |. w. w. in Chicago in
1905 were impelled by one motive--to
create revolutionary economic move
Heilt tnal Woulu Wofk Win lnelf reNo-
lutionary political movement.
Its mob strikes, battles with police
officials and lurid literature is for the
sole purpose of developing revolution
ary spirit. This is why they scorn
agreements and wage scales and favor
sabotage.
The one big union that swept
northwestern Canada for few weeks
in 1919 was another revolutionary
movement that attracted the workers
attention, 1t, too, called for an over
throw of the present system. Then
it took the skyrocket route.
The 'trade union educational
league" is the latest revolution move

ROBBERS BEGIN
WINTER WORK
IN TWIN CITIES

Whether the Twin Cities will be the
center of operations by petty thieves
this winter is a question that Is dis
turbng both Champaign and ufbana,
following the recent robbery Of two
Champaign stores.
For the past three years police have
been busy running down youthful
criminals. Only now and then have
they succeeded in catching the more
experienced = burglars Champaign
needs a force of paid secret service
men ia addition to its regular police
department
Last spring detective NJ. II. Myers
started a movement TO organize such
a force and has met with a degree Of
success in soliciting membership Of
merchants. But it has been the his
tory of such organizations TO fail In
securing the proper degree Of CO.
operation. Twin City people should
awake to the necessity of this organ
ization and give it proper support
if they are to have the protection
needed in addition TO the police de-
partment and sherifr's force.

BANKER POINTS
OUT FLAWS
OF CAPITAL

That the American Federation of
Labor is fast winning strong place
among the permanent organizations In
America was evidenced at recent
bankers meeting in Atlantic City when
j. IL. Puelicher. president Of the
American Bankers Association failed
to include the Federation among 9th
er organizations which he declared
had tendency to undermine the foun-
dations of the United States govern
ment.
While the Federation was not men
toned in press reports of Puelicher's
speech il is of some consideration to
note that it was not mentioned in an
unenviable light with socialism, COM
munism and anarchism.
Puelicher pointed out number Of
evils of the capitalistic system. de-
claring that there should be no child
labor, no seven day labor week, no
unduly long hours of labor and no
treacherous business cycles.
He stated further that "a system Of
society can last only If its adherents
promptly abolish evils as they de-
velop," implying that reform will be
forced from without if not coming
from within.

Washington, ID. c., Sept 26.--All
is in readiness for the annual conven-
ton of the American Federation Of
Labor, beginning October /, in Port
land, Ore.
The executive council, at its meet
ing in New York City, concluded the

ard important ever lald before con-
vention.
In accordance wIta custom no ink
ling of the contents Of the report Is
to be had prior to its presentation u
the convention, but it is safe TO fore
cast that no subject of national i'm
portance is omitted. In fact, many In
ternational questions are dealt with.
There will be submitted. with the
report, the findings of important spe-
cial and standing committees appoint
ed by authority of previous conven-
tions. One of the important com
mittees in this class is the committee
on education.
Eastern delegates to the convention
will travel to Chicago over the Baltl-
more & Ohio railroad and from that
point West over the Chicago. Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul road.
Convention headquarters in Port
land will be at the Multnomah Hotel.
This also will be the headquarters for
the international Labor Press con-
vention, to be held at the same time.

JURY VERDICT
FIXES BLAME
FOR ACCIDENT

A coroner's jury convened to in
yestibate the accident which resulted
in the death of three young people
found evidence to warrant a verdict
fixing the blame upon the motofman
and street car company.
The company was blamed for al
lowing the view of the crossing to
become obscured by a growth of will
lows and for not guarding the cross
ing with proper warning signals.
To what extent the company may
be held responsible will, it is said,
depend largely upon the law govern
ing the circumstances. If the accident
had occurred in Champaign under
the new franchise the clause requir-
ing the company to guard at all times
the safety Of passengers and public
would, it seems. have covered the sit
uation.
Another error in not properly
guarding the crossing is apparent in
the neglect of previous city admins
trations who have thoughtlessly al
lowed buildings to be erected in close
proximity to the tracks, thus OBJ
scuring the view.
ut is evident that the puDllc mas
not yet become aware that we are
living in an age of automobiles, 'ssaid
a citizen in commenting on the above
fact. Crossings are still left as
they were in the days of the horse
and carriage. No account is taken
of the danger to automobiles when a
small store building or other struc.
ture is erected within a few feet OF
the car tracks"
One solution to the problem lies
with the city administrations who
should pass zoning ordinances or the
equivalent in some form that will not
permit of erecting buildings near the
tracks.
Testimony at the inquest indicated
that willows weer allowed to grow
near the tracks, and that the crossing
was not properly guarded by a signal
The Jury returned a verdict Of acci-
dental death by suffocaion.

to the last prayer had been made

One of the methods now employed
in Russia with the idea of perpetual
ing the Soviet system and continuing
propaganda for the world revolution
is used in the schools. The fiist op-
portunity for an education is always
given to the children of the Com
munsts. In the school course for the
third year of the higher grades, for
pupils from II to Is years old, one
part of the curriculum deals with the
Give Years of the Dictatorship of
the Proletariat," the Third Inter
national" and the Coming World
Revolution" In this way the Soviet
hopes to recruit the ranks of the party
from the children. 1t was a common
laying Of Eyduck, 4 prominent men,
ber of the Cheka, in the early days
of the revolution, and later Govern
ment representative with all foreign
relief organizations, that "the chill
dren of Russia are he hope of the
world revolution" When he would
pass a home for children he would
point to ii and say:
"There are the future Communists
of the world. Wait until they are
grown up and we will teach you
whether or not there will be a world
revolution"
