NOW Washington
!. JEWELLERS RETURN
TO HIGHER RENTS
After the Summer Rents Triple
In the Capital of the
United States
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Wash-
ingtonians, who have been paying
only twice the rent their living ac-
commodations are worth during the
summer, go back the first of Octo-
Der to theregular rate of three
times as much.
This is the usual thing in the ma
tional capital.
Probably there isn't another city
in the world from which there's so
general a summer exodus, beginn-
ing about the middle of May. From
then until the middle of September
Gbody's in town who can possibly
get and keep away from it.
Consequently the landlords are
left with lot of vacant houses and
apartments on their hands and thew
trim rentals a little to try and tempt
people to occupy them.
For one thing, Congress ordinari-
ly isn't in session in summer.
That makes a big difference. 1t
means the departure, not only Of
nearly all the senators and repre-
sentatives, with their families, bur
also of large numbers whose bust
ness directly or indirectly depends
on the lawmakers doings.
All the supreme court outfit leaves
likewise.

numerous executive departments.

tions and miscellaneous other offices
are important enough personagcs
not to have ito stick very tight to
their jobs, so they, too, are gone
most of the season.
Even the underlings are entitled
each to at least two weeks vacation,

On top of all this, "sassiety'
tears out in body the minute the
trees begin to bud.
Washington summers are middl
ing hot. Still, it's a pretty place
and comfortable enough in palm
beach suit, and the shade-a lot
more so that the average crowcd
summer resort. SO it isn't entirely
clear why almost the whole commu-
nifty moves away every year.
Probably it's just a habit.
It's a mercy, however, for these
who stay here. 1t gives 'em that
little spell of relief from the cut
throat retns they have to pay the
rest of the time.
New York's rents have nothing
on Washington's and there isn't the
some excuse for it. Washington
isn't crowded as Manhattan is.
While there isn't an excuse, there's
an explanation. The explanation is
the alright trust the landlords have.
&
The average government employe
has to turn over practically his en-
tere income to his landlord.
How he and his family live is a
mystery.
What do they eat? How do they
clothe themselves? Salaries are lew
in the government service and that
class of people have considerable
"front" to maintain.
The Washington rent commission
fights the trust as we'll as it car.
1t issues orders, gets injunctions ard
has secured few indictments. The
landlords hate the commission and
are somewhat afraid of it but stu
they keep rents up-not so high IN
summer as in winter but twice what
they ought to be at the best OF
times.

AUSTRALIAN
BANKERS PROFIT
ON WORLD WAR
Country's Debt 5000 Per
Head
BY w. Francis Ahern.
(By The Federated Press)

MELB URINE, Australia The
money power in Australia is raising
the interest rates on loans. The first
shot was fired in March when the
money trust forced the Australian
government to convert as IA percent
bond issue into percents free of in
come tax.
The loan was to meet war bonus
bonds issued to the soldiers in 1920,
to the amount Of approximately $780,
100000, now falling due. The govern
ment has no money to meet them.
All appeals to patriotism" fell on
deaf ears. To the money trust this
loan Isl equivalent to net return up
to percent.
The bankers were able to squeeze
the government because since 1920,
when the bonds were issued, the fin
anciers have been quietly buying
them from the war veterans. Hav-
ing got the equivalent of percent
for government bonds, the trust is
not likely to lend money for any other
purpose at less.
Farmers whose mortgages are
awaiting renewals will, many of them,
be unable to pay increased interest.
Manufacturers and other industrial
concerns are likewise penalized.
Australia has also issued it's first
inflated currency and though the issue
of inflated money is small-S21, 0OO,-
OOO-it is a start in the direction that
has sent other nations towards bank
ruptcy.
Australia is carrying combined
war and domestic debt equal to 5000
per head of population. Taxation has
reached the limit and cheap loans are
a thing of the past.

Some Child Slavery
Facts Admitted In
Bosses Conference

NEW YORK, May 11.-Half Of the
child workers between IA and Is
years of age in the United States are
unprotected by law. Half of the fac
tories of the country are working
their employees longer than As hours
week. These are some of the points
brought out by a report of the en-
ployers' National Industrial Confer
ence Board, New York. The report
states in part:
"Thirty-five states and the District
of Columbia have fixed an S-hour day
as the maximum for children, while
in Virginia Al hours is their maximum
work week. In 10 states the weekly
period is shortened so that children
may attend parttime school, and in
a few such cases the working week
for children under 16 is only 40 hours
during the school year.
"The workday for women is held
down to hours by law in only s
states. Fourteen permit a 9-hour day
and in Is states 10 hours or more are
permitted. Altho the customary legal
limit of work for men is 10 hours a
day, in special occupations it is set
at hours"
In agriculture which has 46.6 per
cent Of all working children, accord
ing to the report, there is no legal
protection. Nor are the many chill
dren in domestic service safeguarded
by law.

BRITISH LABOR
BACKS RUSSIAN
DAMAGE BILL
Rap B a n k ers' Move
Against Farley

LONDON, May 1.-THE Anglo-Rus-
sian conference is proceeding normal
ly, despite inspired reports to the con-
trary. An international conspiracy to
sabotage the relations between Brit
ain and Russia exists and It never
worked. harder than at present. The
Daily Herald is exposing the enemies
Of the Soviet government and publish
ing articles from progressive labor
leaders who declare that the bill for
damages presented as a counter claim
to Britain is thoroly justifable and
moderate.
The Soviet government, thru, its
representatives, demands, according
to reports, the sum of $4,000, 900 900,
for damages caused by its armies and
other hirelings in Russia during the
period of active intervention. The
British claims against the Soviet
amount to about one-quarter this
sum.
The heaviest single item in the
'Soviet claim against England, is S12,-
21S0O0,000 for British support to Adj
miral Kolchak London bankers pre-
tend to laugh off the Soviet claims,
but che who laughs last laughs best"
and it is conceded that tho the bank
ers may have laughed without re-
strictions up until now, the hour is
approaching when they may be more
inclined to pray to their Sterling God
than to laugh.
While British governments not ex-
cepting the present one, have made
loud cries about Bolshevik tyranny,
1t is well-known fact that England
is melting rebellions among the Mos
lens against the Soviet Republics.
While the success Of the uprisings are
greatly exaggerated with the alleged
instability of the Soviet power during
the Anglo-Russian conference, much
loss of life is caused thru the plotting
of the British imperial government.
That Macdonald has not called a halt
on this devilish work shows what
dyed-in-the-wool imperialist he is.
The Communist Party Of Great Brit
ain in a statement demands the with
drawals of all claims against Soviet
Russia. Immediate appointment Of a
Trade Unionist ambassador to Mos
COW, who shall be nominated by the
General Council, conclusion of an eco
nomic treaty and the granting of Gre
dts to the Soviet government.

With members of his family at
his bedside - those who had
helped in the five-year battle
against the state and the lumber inter-
ests-the famous pioneer Badger died
in a hospital last night from dropsy.
Twenty years ago Dietz started
farming a piece Of land beside the
Thornapple River, near Cameron dam.
He managed to wrest bare living
from the farm, when lumber interests
decided to tear down the dam on the
Dietz property for the purpose of float
ing logs over the farm. Then a FIVE
year battle started. When the sheriff
and his deputies came with a writ or
dering him to move, Dietz and his
family locked themselves in their
cabin and with rife and revolver
fought back the invaders.
For five years Dietz and his fam
lily held off all attempts to evict them.
On October s, 1910, Dietz and his
