Trade Unions Fight for High
Wages Is Patriotic Effort

Commerce Hoover states that but Is per
cent of the nations productivity is ex-
ported to Europe and South America.
This means that the people of the Unit
ed States consumes all but n small por-
ton of their production.
This is possible because the American
trade union movement has insisted on
high wage standards.
There is a so-called intellectual" ele-
ment IN this country that is distressed
over labor's continuous fight for high
wages. This element sees no difference
between high-wage worker and a low
wage worker, and would have the for
mer believe they are wasting their en-
ergieS.
The organized worker rejects the So
called intellectual and this is the rea-
son for the latter's continuous attacks
on the A. +. of l.. Where the intel
lectual' is welcomed, there is progress
according To the intellectual"
The bednficial effect of labor's wage
stand has been well stated by Frank
Hodges, secretary of the Coal Miners
Federation of Great Britain. Speaking
before the last A. +. OF L. convention
the British trade unionist said
"The very fact that You nave been able to keep
wages at the maximum has made IL possible for
you. within the confines of your own country, TO
eliminate unemployment TO a very great extent be-
cause your people have been able, by the fact that
they have the spending power In their pockets, 60
keep industries going at their maximum capacity,
while in England and in Europe generally, because
wages have fallen, and we have permitted them 10
fall. unemployment has increased, industries have
langushed business has come TO n standst, aud the
latter stage is infinitely worse than the hrst.s
The benefits of high wages are diff
fused throughout the ration. The men
and women who wage the fights and
make the sacrifices for these standards
are patriots in the true sense.
Compared with them the Garyites
and other flag wavers look ridiculous
with their cheap-wage pleas.

FREE AID SPACE
NOT GRANTED
ON CITY GROUND

An enterprising company of Cham
paign installed huge bill board on
bthe vacant lot adjoining the Fire De
partment building without asking con-
sent of the city authorities, SO COM
missioners said. The sign stood iol
a few days and thoroughly advertised
an event which the company intends
putting on in the near future.
Little free advertising space, how
ever. was accorded the incident IN
local papers. To newspaper men II
apepared that this was what the com,
pany expected. Erecting the bill
board without obtaining permission
of the city authorities was of course
a necessary part of the plan, for un-
der no circumstances would the CITY
authorities have granted permission
for one company to advertise us
wares on city property at the eN'
clusion of others.
A commissioner in commenting on
the incident said: I'VE have given nc
one privilege to erect bill board on
this lot. nor would we have done SO
under any circumstances. Those VINO
have taken the responsibility OF plac-
ing this sign on city property doubt
less knew that permission of the coun-
ell would not be granted them. We
have given the company three DAYS
notice to get the sign off of the hre
department grounds; yet the company,
knows vel that its advertisement VIII
be widely read before the expiration
of that time, and that the coupe Will
have been well worth the trouble, and
risk There is a penalty for such an
act however, and if it is repeated the
law will be enforced"

CITY COUNCIL AP-
PROVES DRAINAGE
GRANT OF {. OF &.

The Champaign city council In ses-
sion last Monday approved the deed of
drainage right-of-way through the
Chamber of Commerce lot on South
Nell street which was recently trans
ferred to the Circle A. Products COM
pany.
Efforts TO sidetrack the sale Of this
lot to the company were made by
members of the South Side Improve
ment Association without avail. After
reviewing the objections TO the pro-
posed sale the board of directors OF
the Chamber of Commerce voted To
make the transfer In accordance with
the original plans.
By the deeds the city may within
fifteen years install the necessary
drainage pipes through this lot by
paying the Circle A Products company
the cost Of replacing whatever foun-
dations, buildings or machinery may
be disturbed. Under the same condi-
tions an extension Of John Street may
be opened.
After the expiration OF fifteen years
the work may be done without cost
10 the city.

CHILD WELFARE
WORK ACTIVE
IN PORTO RICO

A varied diet and good general
health conditions tend to raise aver
are weights and heights of children.
At least that is the indication OF u
child-welfafe survey made by the
Childfen'a Bureau OF the u. s. De
partmont Of Labor In Porto Rico.
Seven thousand six hundred and
thifly.three school children were
weighed and measured In this island
possession of the United States and
their weights and heights compared
with averages found IN a study of
Boston school children. II was found
that the Porto Rico boys averaged
about one inch less In height and the
Porto Rico gitla from one-half 10 one
inch less In height than the American
boys and girls of the same ages,
Comparison Of weight showed the
Porto Rico children from five 10 eight
pounds lighter than the Americans.
Comparing the statistics for differ.
ent communities in Porto Rico itself
II was found that the children of dis
triets where higher standard OF
living conditions prevailed were taller
aud heavier than the average, where
living standards were low. the oppo-
site was true. In one Of the districts
where average weights and heights
we're low, IL was found that Sc per
cent of the people had hookworm.
Throughout Porto Rico, the people
were found to have a badly restricted
diet, many of the poor families living
almost entirely on black, unsweetened
coffee and a few tubers. In some
districts virtually every person suf.
fered from anemia, and the death rate
from this disease, negligible Ia the
United States, was 10 per 100000
population, while the death rate from

was 1889 compared with 0.6 for the

them needed treatment

showed a high rate Of infant mortal.

ENORMOUS WAGE LOSSES
ARE LAID TO ACCIDENTS

Chicago, Jan. l9.-Wage losses Of
50, 500, ,000,0 900 d year are traceable to
industrial accidents and oceupational
sickness, declared Richard l.. kropf,
chief official Of a fraternal insurance
organization, at a safety conference
here. Another loss Of more than S2,-
600 900 600 is sustained by manufae.
turers in decreased production for the
same causes, he said.
approximately 100000 workers are
injured so badly each year that either
they are manned for life or loee more
than a months time in recovery the
officially pointed out. This Is a
heavier toll Of injured than the world
war exacted in the 10 months OF
American preparation. The woefuI
commentary on these amazing figures
is that surveys show 60 per cent OF
these accidents are preyentable."

GOVERNOR LEN SMALL
Greeted BY HUNDREDS
AT ILLINOIS Theatre

! $3.50, ,712. If We adopt the 500. 900.
900 bond issue and build this great
system of roads, | believe that during
the next twenty years the state Of
| Illinois will receive in hcenes fees
more than SS00,000,000; and that dur.
ing the thirty year period the bonds
will run, We will take in $500, 900 900.
Under this law which you will
vote on, every dollar of the automo-
bile license fees collected will be used
to build and maintain hard surfaced
roads in our state, because our laws
now provide that all money received
from this source shall be deposited in
the state treasury in a fund known
as the Road Fund Your ratification
of this law will put it beyond the
power of any legislature or of any
governor, or of any administration. OF
even beyond the power of the Chicago
Tribune, to divert the automobile
license fees to any other purpose than
that of paying off the bonds for this
great road system
"The only possibility that there
would ever be any direct tax TO pay
any part of this bond issue, would be
in case people stopped using automo-
biles.
my friends, the entire SEQ, 600, ,OO0
bond issue, the proposed 500, 600, 900
issue, principal and interest, can be
paid by automobile license fees in the
allotted time, as the bends come due,
and leave balance of several millions
a year to maintain our great road
system"
Representative ]. A. Reeves opened
the program of speeches at the Illinois
theatre before he introduced the gov
ernor to the large audience.
Representative Reeves paid a |
tribute to Governor Small's road
building program and emphasized par
ticularly the feature of economy con-
nected with the plans as already car
ried out under the governors direc-
ton. He also congratulated the |
Champaign county board of supervis- |
ors in the selection of l.. E. Fisher as
their county engineer and called the
University of Illinois "the greatest in |
stitution of its kind under the shining |
sum-"
In the course of his remarks Repre- |
sentative Reeves gave the following |
interesting statistics:
In 1920 we collected $685., ,000,000 in
all kinds of taxes in this state, and
will collect as much or more this year
from 1923 assessment. Three hun
dren eighty-eight million dollars went
to the government, s207 ,000,0 900, TO
the townships, $4l000,000 to the
state, or, in other words the U. S.
Government got 62 per cent, the coun-
ty 80 per cent, and ths state per
cent of the aggregate of $685., 600, 900,
so guess we need not worry by rea- !
son of the expense of this improve
ment because every dollar will be de-
rived from the automobile tax.

PUBLICITY MACHINE
w X Il & X Il ID By
SUPREME COURT

In sustaining the "reeapture claues'
Of the transportation act the United

publicity machine the railroads built
at a cost of millions OF dollafg.
Since the close of the world war the
| roads used the peoples money without
stint TO develop a public opinion based
on the theory that the carriers are re-
stnicted by illegal and unnecessary
| legislation.
Every tax dodger and pleader for
privilege joined the roads In broad
casting their hard.luck story, The
thought behinR this agitation was

alone"
The "recapture clause" provides
that where a road earns more than q
per cent profit, one-half Of the excess
shall be turned over TO the Interstate

Many powerful railroads objected TO

The decision will force the carriers
