LIVING COST DATA
AID TObUS|NESS
Both Labor and Capital Get
Valuable Help From Gov
ernment Figures.

Attitude of employers and employees
FL the matter of seeking informat ton
on wages and living costs has been
completely reversed in the last four
years, as evidenced Gy their requests
FOR authoritative information from the
bureau of labor statistics of the De-
partment of Labor.
Four or five years ago. and even
farther back, union representatives
Pnd representatives of groups of EN-
ployerS sought figures from the bureau
10 support theories that living costs
had risen to a degree that justified
wage increases. AS living costs de-
creased beginning in the latter part of
1890, calls from employees and their
representatives became less frequent,
and calls from employers and their
representatives more frequent. The
latter group soug hit 10 prove that llv-
ing costs have decreased since their
peak in 1920 and that on this basis
wages should be reuuced.
Figures obtained by the bureau
hearing on living costs and wages
are entirely without bias and are
sought with the intention of finding
only the facts. according to Dr.
Charles f. Baldwin. chief clerk of
the bureau. Investigators for the
bureau are warned that they have no
axe TO SflnU ana are lIpGfSS SSeu W ~
the thought that they must not seek
out information favorable or un-
favorable to any side in any con-
troverSy.
The same method is followed in OBJ
taining food prices and figures on liv-
iugs costs in Washington. DR. Bald
win said. Investigators secure prices
from the same establishments as to
food of different kinds, furniture
household essentials and other items
which enter into the cost of living
here month after month, thus eliml-
mating any possibility of change In
policy or radical change in price.
Every effort is made to procure
prices from the middle-price estao-
nshments and to avoid either the
high-priced business places or those
which sell at low prices. TIE bureau

brated on June 3, when the custo-
mary ceremonial Of trooping the COL
ors will be staged on tho horse

WHO ARE LABORITEsY

Now that the English labor party
Is officially recognized in the House
of Commons as his matesty's oppo-
sition." politicians Of all sorts and
shades are endeavoring to climb
aboard the band wagon so as to be
on hand in case labor is called on to
form a ministry of its own.
Tho extremists in tho party's
ranks do not like this new blood and
are carrying on an active propa-
ganda against ]. Ramsay Macdonald
In an effort to prove that the Scot
fish leader and his followers can no
longer help the workers in their in
dustrial warfare.
Such agtators cite, for instance, a
table showing that of the labor
party's members in the House of
Commons only II may be classified
"a lecturers and writer's, while capt.
talists and business men come next
with eight each. The extremists
classify the remaining labor members
as follows: Engineers 6. socialist Of
ficials g. cooperative officials 4,
miners. clergymen. lawyers, doctors,
each; also a railway man, a naval
architect. a policeman and a clerk.
Another charge brought against
Macdonald and other leaders is that
they are associated with members of
the royal family and other persons in
VIC uPPSi uSt VI H|H6iiSH Society IN
events which are unbecoming to the
representatives of the peoples party
This allegation Mr.. Macdonald has
answered defiantly, asserting that
inasmuch as labor Is bound to be the
future government OF England no
class Of society should be barred to
labors' representatives. AS for the
pageantry Of an old world capital.
Mr.. Macdonald said he was Strong
for 1t" and wanted more professions,
more colorful parades, more singing,
more dancing and more Joy every
where. for such are tho things the
people need.

Mothers Day Will Be
Celebrated At
Churches

Mothers Day Is here once more.
There is nothing new in Mothers

English custom, and today is an es-
tablished holiday.
Today special services will be held
in Birmingham churches and Sunday
schools, and honor will be shown in
all homes and in the cemeteries for
Mothers Day Is not only for those
who can speak or communicate in
other ways with their loved parents,
but. as well, for those whose moth
ers have passed on.
1t Is day for earnest thought
for children, young and grown up,
and day of retrospection for moth
ers-that they may discern their
magnificence and responsibility, and
possibly their weaknesses; and meas
ure their growth from year to year.
A very chaming woman Of Bir-
ningham suggested at club meet
ing last week that a ten-minute
service be given over in the churches
today to the crusade mothers and
the Gold Star mothers, which plan
will probably be followed in some In
stances.
Everybody will wear a flower to-
day for mother.

Fairer than any of which painters

is economy to tie the asparagus into
punches after carefully washing 1t,
then evenly cut off the tender end.
The stalky portion can be cooked
separately until tender and used for
another dinner. After fifteen min
utes' cooking asparagus should be
carefully watched. as even two min
utes' overlooking will destroy the
color and flavor. Asparagus should
never boil hard but Just simmer in
boiling sailed water.
Arrange on buttered toast or the
