SCHOOL OF UNIONISM

In the public schools the child re-
ceives the rudiments of education. He
is taught to read, to spell, to write
and to figure, and nowadays is given
the elements of some accomplish
ments, but he is quite likely to leave
the public schools and to enter upon
the field of industrial effort with very
distorted individualistic idas. 1t is
the mission of the school of unionism
to complete his education and to teach
him knowledge of real life and its
struggles. But the school of union
ism has no age limit 1t is open to
workers of all ages. It's lessons and
its benefits are open to all, and it
gives to every member the opportun-
ity through association or mental COM
petition with his fellow members to
develop his own intellectual powers to
the fullest extent. 1t teaches the les
son of unity, which is the ultimate
expression of the power of combina-
tion, and in proportion as the wage
workers Individually and collectively
learn, heed and practice the lessons

OVERSTEPPED A BIT

Occasionally the junta in control at
Westerville, Ohio, goes bit too far.
An instance of the kind comes to
notice at this time. The cables had
told that Chamberlin and Levine, the
New York to Germany f1iers, had real
beer when they got to Berlin. They
gloried in their shame, if it be shame
for an American citizen to drink real
beer when the opportunity offers.
AS soon as this news was cabled
back to the United States the Ameri-
can Anti-Saloon League issued orders
to subservient editors that the Amer
lean boys were to be denounced for
their temerity in drinking beer in
Germany, perfectly lawful proceed
ing. The plea was made that it was
"disrespect for the Volstead law"
The bucolic editors who are on the
leagues list usually are docile
enough, in all conscience. There are
many who are downright towards, who
dare not call their souls their own.
Why this is true, no one knows, but
it is the fact. The Chamberlin-L Levine
incident was too much for them. The
leagues broadside and it's ukase that
the boys were to be denounced were
without effect. In numerous editorial
expressions, the league was reminded
that it is amusing in the extreme;
that it perpetrated the "acme of sill
ness" and that there is no excuse for
such nonsense.
Moreover, the league was remind
ed that there is plenty of law viola
tion here to take it's entire time. 1t
may seem strange that returning in
dependence is noted once in a while,
and that the league orders are fouted
occasionally. This seems to have been
case in point. Having been called
down, the league now may say that
it meant nothing of the kind. At all
events, the fliers have their beer and

PRICES
OF Clothing and Food De-
crease
BY RALPH F. COUCH

Washington, D. C.-Consumers this
month are buying clothing at price
level which is the lowest for June in
more than three years.
Food costs less than in June last
year and the year before but is higher
than in 1924.
These statements are based on re-.
ports from retail stores in virtually
all sections of the United States. The
reports were used to construct an in
dex of price levels as of June / for
each year since 1924.
Food prices at the retail or neigh
borhood stores advanced % per cent
between June l, 1924, and 1925. A
year later, food had risen still more to
a point 25 per cent above the prices
of June l, 1924. But this year found
the price average at point Is per
cent above 1924, showing drop of
seven points in twelve months.
The price level of clothing shows
a steady drop since June l, 1924. In
1925 decline of 3 per cent was regis
tered. A year later the decline is
shown as IL per cent, while on June
this year it is reported as Is per
cent.

in the death of Charles r. Atherton.
Charley Atherton belonged to the
type of labor leader that has made the
American Federation of Labor the
tremendous force it is in the United
States. His heart was thoroughly
with labor's cause. His enthusiasm,
however, was not that of fanatic
but of common-sense, broad-minded
man of the world. He believed in the
United States as we'll as in the cause
of labor and did his best to improve
conditions for the average man under
our American rules of government and
politics.

1t is with much sorrow ana regret
that Hamilton union labor learned of
the passing away of Charles R. Ather-

members of the Metal Polishers Union
grieve, as he was secretary of that
international union for many years.
Mr.. Atherton was true union man
and loved by trade unionists who knew
him for his great kindness and gentle
ness. AS an illustration of the great

even outside of the trade union fold,

EVERYMAN'S

Influence Of Commodity Prices.
By GEORGE +. HUGHES.

we saw in the last article in this
serIes that the money outlook was the
primary influence In fixing the price
Of the highest grade Of securities, such
as Government bonds or the best OF
corporate obligations.
There ia another factor, however,
the working of which lis not so evi-
dent but which 1t is important to
take into account when considering
the outlook for any security on when
there is a. fixed rate of return. BY
this is meant bond, the interest rate
on which never varies as TO dividend
rates on common stock, or a preferred
stock Of q corporation SO strongly IN
trenched that no conceivable business
depression would affect the safety OF
the dividend. This other innuence Is
the course Of commodity prices.
If the cost of living, to use the popu.
lar phase. Is advancing 1t will have a
depressing effect upon the price of
securities of this class. If, on the con-
trary. the cost Of goods and services Is
declining the value Of bonds and stocks
in this group will increase.
The matter can be made plain by an
Illustration. Take a West Shore 4
per cent bond, for example. This par
ticular bond has so distant a maturity
date as to be practically perpetual
obligation, The holder of a $1,000
West shore will receive $40 year
in interest. If that $40 will buy more
food, clothing or shelter the bond is
worth more money. If the $40 will
buy less food, clothing or shelter the
bond is worth less money.
In other words II the trend OF com.
modify prices is downward so that the
interest coupon has a larger purchas-
ing power the price Of the bond must
advance. If commodity prices are ad-
vancing bonds are likely to decline.
Now what is the situation today"
ANY study of price indexes will show
a slow and irregular but significant
decline. If this is to keep up, and it
has been the rule as far back as any
reliable record has been kept, that
prices do fall after great wars, then
the indications are that as far as this
factor is concerned the effect will be
to bring about higher PRICES for fixed
interest rate bearing securities.

GOVERNMENT REPORT
SENDS WHEAT DOWN
Corn and Provisions Develop Firm
ness, But Oats Are Easy in
Today's Trading.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. March 9.--Wheat under
went fresh downturns today, owing
largely to bearish aspects OF the Gov
ernment report about domestic reserve
stocks. Prediction OF big Argentine
wheat shipments also was a bear fac.
tor. Opening unchanged to u Off.
wheat suffered a moderate general
setback. Corn and provisions de
Veloped firmness but oats were easy,
corn starting unchanged to half cent
down and subsequently, scoring gains
all around.
A feature attracting further notice
today to the Government report on
reserve stocks of wheat was notable
detail as to Kansas. The total re.
serve in that State was shown to be
is. .509 900 bushels, against only $685.
600 bushels a year ago. In connec.
ton with the Government report also.
word was at hand that continental
Europe had temporarily stopped buy
ing.
ON the other hand current reports
today showed that wheat exports from
the United states are averaging 1000
600 bushels week or about the same
as at this time last year. According
to a trade authority, indications are
that the movement until the end OF
the crop year, July /, will amount to
around $4,000. 900 bushels. making
total exports from the United States
close to 200 900 900 bushels. compared
with 105, 1852 900 bushels last year.
