The main reason for the slaughter of birds was to
get their plunlage for women's hats. Now that

Why is American government not all that it

they seldom pay those men enough keep them in Of

When American politics has finally opened up

American intervention in "the European mess
economically has only begun, with the preparation OF
the Dawes report. -,
If that report had been turned down cold, by eth-
er the Allies Germany it might have ended the mat
ter far as America concerned. Americans would
hardly have felt like attempting any further service
for Europe for some time to come. But with the ac-
ceptance of the plan with apparent sincerity by both
Sides prospect of it's principles being put into
effect, there is natural expectation that additional
American help will be wanted along the same line, to
make good the service already rendered.
Americans-ether those who served on the COM

execution of the plan adopted The nations directly

ticuary, because experience has shown them that
Americans combine in unusual degree business abl-

There is no to doubt that invitations for
such cooperation with Europe will be accepted readily
American business agree with President Coolidge
that economic service to Europe is not only good phil

President sCoolidge's misunder-
standing of labor conditions and
misformation on wages and living
costs were pointed out today by la
Dor executives in Washington. Re-
ports from union officials from many
parts of the country and statistics
compiled by the Labor Department
were cited to show the president
erred in telling selected group at
the White House on Labor Day that
wages are higher today than in 1928
and living conditions are on the
toboggan.
T. c. Cashen, international
Switchmen's union, said that in SIX
of the large industrial cities of this
country living costs have increased
and that more than 100000 men
and women in America are now job
less.
Charles Kutz, general chairman OF
the Pennsylvania, machinists' union,
said the coal mines are having the
dullest year in their history and
that thousands and thousands of men
and women are out of work.
Edgar Wallace, Mine Workers
union executive, said 100000 miners
are out of work and the average
wage is far below what it was in
1900 in purchasing power.
D. b. Robertson of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Engineers said there are more men
out of work in his organization now
than in three past years, $4,000 being
jobless.
