wages paid by commercial firms.
Pending action by the reconvened
board. the new schedule, including
the raises. but excluding all reduc-
tons in wages, will apply.
Living Standards Lowered.
Strong representations have been
made to Secretary DENLY to the
effect that the wage rates provided
for the machinists' trade in the new
wage schedule fall far short of what
will provide living standard of
health and decency. as determined
by the Department Of Labor in
August, 1919, or a standard of living
such as prevailed prior to the war in
1914. 1t would require at present,
as we view 1t. rate of so cents per
hour to provide such standards of
living. instead of the 70 cents
granted
The machinists' 4bffef also says
that "at the Washington navy yard
a machinist receive 70 cents, which
is IL cents below the prevailing rate
of pay in Washington for machin-
lists, and pipefitter receive 10 cents
per hour, which in this instance is
NOT building trades rate. but on
the other hand is rate paid by. an
industry suffering depression in
business
Secretary DENLY has held two con-
ferences with the nachinists' Of
ficials in the past few days, and it
is believed is favorable to review
of certain wage scales inasmuch as
general pay increases have been
granted by private employers in the
past few months. or since the data

philosopher, who used to incline
toward the League of Nations but
who has succumbed to the Knox
Levinson-Borah arguments.
1t. was also learned that among
the completest victims of this dead
ly epidemic--or completest enthus-
lasts in this lofty crusade-is
Supreme Court Justice Florence
Allen, of Ohio, who even would like
to resign from the bench in order
to do nothing but labor for war
outlawry."
This movement has zealots and it
has finance and it has the backing
of the mighty name of Knox and
the going power of the silver
tongues Of Borah and Robins, who
between them can make more strong
men weep than any other two word
wizards and voice vampires alive in
America Moreover, when Congress
meets, the opponents of the Hard.
ing court will be driven to picking
up any stick with which to try to
beat it. War outlawry' looks to-
day like the chief candidate for be-
ing that stick.

The action was another step

House paints were reduced
to thirty-two colors. There
will be but four shades of barn
and roof paint, eight colors of
floor paint, sixteen colors of
wall paint, eight tints of car
riage paint and ten co1ors in
