Goods Made in
Prison Endanger
Wearers Health
Disease Laden Garments Are
Menace to Health of
Ignorant Purchaser

New York-"Every purchaser of a
prison-made garment is liable to pay
a costly price for his failure to rea-
lie his social responsibility" says
Kate Richards O'Hare, in statement
released by the United Garment
Workers of America.
"You can not say you have no con-
Germ in these helpless convicts," says
Mrs. O'Hare. "You can not escape
responsibility so easily. These pris-
oners are human beings and no one
ever did, or ever will, build a wall
high enough or bars strong enough to
break the tie that binds us together
for better or worse. Their lives are
what we in our ignorance and indif-
ference permit. They are generous,
these convicts. They will return to
us all we give-and with usury. 1t
is scientifically true, as well as ethic-
ally true, that we are our brothers
keeper-but what is more important
to us-he is ours. And surely as
night follows day, whatever we send
into the lives of our brothers will
come back into our own.
eve dare not forget that the con-
vict can strike back at us through the
avenues of commerce. Prison-made
goods are practically all made in sur
roundings that reek with the vilest
diseases known to medical science.
"These filthy and diseased-lade
garments go to great wholesale
houses, are labeled with the names of
respectable firms, and then distribut-
ed to retail merchants. They are
then handled by clean salesgirls, pur-
chased by clean American mothers
and put on the bodies of innocent
children.
"You do not like to think of that
sort of stuff coming into your home,
do you, Mr.. Wage Worker and Mr..
Farmer? Well, the only way that
YOU can be sure that it is not is by
beng very sure that every garment
that enters your home carries the
union label"

Time to Cease
Illegal Raids on
Private Homes
Supreme Court of the United
States Has SpOken-Let
Anarchy Beware

The Constitution of the United
States stands. 1t refuses to give way
to the whims of federal prohibition
agents, or state dry raiders, or viii
age constables. 1t even stands un-
wavering in the presense Of an austere
justice Of the peace. We rather
thought it would.
1t becomes a bride to the tongue
of the gossip, curb to the activities
of the busy-body, barrier to the
Looping sleuth who has been wont to
rush hither and yon, shifting for al
coholic breaths, in defiance of the
fundamental of American liberty.
All of this is revealed in a decision
just handed down by the Supreme
Court of the United States in the case
of Myles w. Gibbons, 1912 E. 117th
Street. The court ordered the re-
turn of liquor seized by federal agents
during the search of the Gibbons
home, on warrant issued on the
basis of "belief and information" thai
liquor was being unlawfully held
there.
The court held that the search war
rant obtained by Charles ]. Burns,
former federal prohibition director
was based on fraudulent representa-
tions. Therefore, it was invalid.
In applying for the warrant, Burns
swore that he had investigated and
had found the house was being used
for possession and sale of liquor.
Later, Burns admitted that he had
not actually investigated; that his
"belief" was based on a telephone call
from a man whose name he did no.
remember.
So the raid on the home of Gibbons
was illegal. Then the raid on the
Bender home was illegal. The raids
that have been made on a thousand
homes in Ohio in the last year have
been illegal. And those raids were
conducted by the great State of Ohio
in the name of law, in the name OF
Justice, in the name of great moral
cause.
We're not talking about "homes
that have been converted into boot
Logging Joints. We are talking about
the lawfully conducted homes of law
abiding citizens.
The State of Ohio has been notori-
ously engaged in the business of law
breaking by smashing into homes on
its Mother Grundy warrants. 1t may
pretend that, in the past, it believed
It was within its rights. 1t can make
no such pretense now.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has spoken. Let anarchy be-

Bread Combine
Will Likely Be
Quietly Formed
Ward Has "Offered" to Buy a
Majority of the General
Bakery Stock

Washington-Wil the people paw
tribute to 100000 bread com
bine because an attorney of the fed
eral trade commission says no com
blne is contemplated? The attorney
secured his information from insiders
who are arranging this super trust.
William B. Ward, leading anti-union
bakery magnate, merely offered, ac-
cording to the attorney, to buy a ma
jority of the General Baking COM
pany's stock. This company is one Of
the units of the proposed trust. Ward
organized a Maryland corporation.
known as the General Baking corpor-
aUion, which will be the holding com
pany for the General Baking COM
pany's stock that Ward intends to
control. This is the first step in any
trust formation, but Ward assures
the attorney that nothing else has
been done, or is contemplated, and the
attorney accepts the statement. The
commission now reports that nothing
will be done at this time. 1t init
mates that if other companies are
gathered ina procedure predicted by
Wall street-it (the commission) may
investigate. Then the trust will be in
an invulnerable position.
Several questions could be asked

torney says Ward has "offered' to
buy majority of the General Bak-
ing stock, though this stock was de-
posted last October on terms Ward
announced. Ward also assured the
attorney that he is acting as an in
dlvidual, and the attorney accepts the
statement.
At the Atlantic City convention of
the A. F. of L. congress was asked to
investigate this combine that will
control the peoples bread.

Earl Greys Memoirs
Give Past History

Washington-Earl Grey, the foxy
old diplomat who, as Britain's secre-
tary for foreign affairs, had much to
do with starting the World War, has
written his memoirs. -
Americans will be interested in at
least one chapter. :,
Grey says that Colonel House, that
mysterious individual who ran errands
tor Woodrow Wilson-many of them
extremely important errands-came to
him in London in February, 1916, and
submitted memorandum stating that
Wilson was about to call peace con-
ference and that if it didn't prove a
success this country would probably
90 into the war on the side of the
allies.
That was fourteen months before
Congress, exercising it's constitution
al prerogative, voted to take us in.
The incident furnishes an excellent
argument against secret diplomacy
and in favor of some effective scheme
for popular control of our information
al relations.

Getting Used To 1t

For the second time within
the past few months the people
of a large portion of the city
have been compelled to endure
the danger and inconvenience OF
doing without water for what
annears to be insufficient cause
or reason. E.,
One day last week some fel-
low knocked off the water
plug at the corner of Ellzabeth
street and Hudson avenue, and
because of a peculiar arrange
nent of the water mains in that
neighborhood the stopping OF the
water to fix things up cut OFT an
the supply in the section nortn
of Elizabeth street and west OF
Hudson avenue. To make 1t
even worse it is said that al
though the accident happened IN
the afternoon, repairs were not
begun until the next morning
and water was not tulned on un-
Ill nearly twentyfour hours after
the plug was smashed up.
In the first place the question
is asked why it should be neces-
sary. if the system is properly

The
Hired
Man
Digest
Asks But Little

APO 'MiIES

Many people in this old world
of ours are uncertain as to the
nature and amount of material
things required to make life
comfortable and happy, but the
Hired Man" asks but little here
below. Just couple of cars, a
nice home and good wife,
plenty of money and pleasant
people around, including good
looking women, men who don't
know everything, and happy
children. This is about all ex-
cept good clothes and first-class
eating, together with no worries,
no ills and no deprivations or
suffering, for he don't believe
that one should suffer in this
life the better to appreciate the
life in the world to come.
Give him a good book, a pipe
full of tobacco or a good cigar;
give him health, wealth and
prosperity and he don't care who
is Pope or President. In fact ne
fully agrees with the sage who
crowded so much wisdom If
the following brief sentence:
"No. save me from too much
seriousness, l beg of you. Let me
wrong no man; let me take moth
inc | have not earned; let me
say nothing l do not believe; let
me be honest, not only with the
world, but with myself. Let me
have my say, dream my dream,
laugh and love-today, IN this
world-for tomorrow we may

are pure and serious"

INFLUENCE OF LABOR PRESS

The influence of the labor press IS
not confined to organized workers. 1t
affects the views and judgments of
the entire people. Leaders of indus
try are more and more interesting
themselves in what labor newspapers
have to say. They realize that the
better they understand the workers
viewpoint the easier it will be for
them to appreciate the workers needs
With many questions vitality concern
ing the public and the workers in a
state of suspension, it is incumbent
now more than ever for the labor
papers to enlighten not alone the la
bor class but business men who are
sincerely seeking information which
will help him overcome obstacles.

Wages is not exclusively the con
Germ of the wage Garner; wages is also
the concern of business. 1t is the best
interest of business as well as of labor
that wages be kept high For in a
country where everyone works and
every worker is a wage Garner, the
basis of business is purchasing pow
er, and the basis of purchasing power
is wages. An unemployed man is an
out-of-work customer. An underpa 4,
man is a poor customer. Busine

HOW WE CATCH COLD

Colds are due to germs which grow
in the tissues of the nose and throat
so that these tissues get inflamed and
swell up. These germs are always
lurking about on the moist surface OF
the mouth and nose but when we are
in good health they cannot get foot-
hold in the tissues. A severe tatlgue'
spell of indigestion, a great chill
ing of the body or some other thing
which lowers our vitality temporarily
may give the germ chance to enter
the tissues and get start. Then we
have a cold, and it is a great deal
harder to get the germ out again than
it was to keep him out before ne got
in.

News Review of
Current Events
Features of Tax Reduction Bill
as Completed by the House
Committee
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD


THE house ways and means commit
Il tee last week completed its draft Of
the tax reduction measure which will
be put forward by the administration
In the next session of congress. and
as it will have the support of the con-
servative Democrats its passage is vir-
tually assured. Aggregate reductions
of income and other taxes are esti
mated at $30S,372, TOO. There will be
no decrease in surtaxes on incomes
1t was found such decrease would re-
suit In too great loss of revenue; but
those incomes get the benefit of in
creased exemptions and decreases in
the normal rates. Accepting the ad-
vice of the treasury experts, the COM
mittee rescinded it's previous action
extending the $400 exemption for each
child below eighteen years of age so
as to include those up to twenty-one
years when still in school. Admins
trative difficulties made this extension
undesirable.
In the measure adopted the snrtax
schedule starts at one per cent upon
net incomes in excess of $4,000 and
not in excess of $4,000, as provided
In the present law. One per cent is
added, as in the present law, for each
additional $1,000 up to $4,000. ten
per cent rate is reached, as at present,
on the amount of net income In ex-
cess of $4,000 and not In excess of
$4,000. Eleven per cent applies be-
tween $4,000 and $36,OOO II per cent
between $4,000 and $4,000, and 13
per cent between $4,000 and $4,000.
The existing act has rate of IA per
cent between $4,000 and $4,000, but
the new schedule extends the Il per
cent rate up to $4,000.
Under the new schedule there Is
surtax of IS per cent between $4,000
and $4,000, 16 per cent between $780,
600 and 100000, II per cent between
100000 and $4,000, 1S per cent be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, 10 per cent
between $4,000 and 100000, and 20
per cent on that portion of net in
come in excess of 100000. The 40
per cent maximum of the present law
applies above $500,O0O, while the 20
per cent rate of the present law is
reached at $4,000.
With every disposition to be liberal,
the committee still found it wise to
reject a number of proposals that
would be likely to cut down too far
the governments revenue. Among
these was an amendment under which
small corporations and partnerships
might have the option of filing returns
as corporations or partnerships, thus
electing whether to be taxed at fiat
121a per cent or to be subject to sur
taxes. Another was the elimination
of the present 12h per cent limitation
on taxes and deductions for capital
gains and losses. A 10 per cent tax
on pistols and revOlyers was retained.
The estimated loss of $3OS,372, 100
