skilled craftsmen who cannot be re-
placed and whose loss definitely slows
war production.
100000 Injured
An additional 100000 workers We're
injured SO severely in traffic accidents
during the first half of the year that
they were away from their jobs at
least a day, and in. many cases much
longer.
The council pointed out, too that the
drastically reduced June toll of 1000
still Outnumbered the $50 reported as
dead and missing from American ships
sunk by Axis subs in the Western
Atlantic since Pearl HarbOr.
A poll by the council in large
cities showed that q per cent of those
killed or injured in June traffic acci
dents We're war workers. In Cleveland
80 per cent of the victims were in this
category.
Decreased Milage a Factor
Only out of injured war workers
in the cities polled was hurt going to
or from the job. Off-the- job accidents
were, therefore, the preponderant part
of the total.
While travel figures for June are
not yet available the council said it is
apparent that decreased mileage due
to curtailment of cars and tires was
an important factor in the reduced
toll.
Travel was off 20 per cent in May
and per cent in the first five months
of 1912 from corresponding periods a
year ago. Since traffic deaths We're
down II per cent in the tive-mOnth
period, the death rate per 1OO,OOO,OO0
miles travelled was down 4 per cent.

general picture but these are all we
have room for here.
1--WE feel that the problem of the in
flationary gap has to be solved on two
levels. First of all. there is the prob
lem of the growing national income,
which requires equitable distribution
and equitable siphoning off. Secondly,
there is the problem of dwindling con-
sumer goods and services, which re-
quires equitable rationing and forceful
price and quality control. Lowered liv-
ing standards for all of us are under
stood, as they must be in war.
Equitable distribution and siphOn-
ing Of the national income would seem
TO be implicit in our approach to this
war, aside from their immediate values
in keeping our economy in balance.
And wage-freeZing, or action confined
to any other one segment of the popu-
latiOn, cannot be reconciled with them.
A fairer tax program than has yet
come out of Congress is one of the
things that can.
Equitable rationing and forceful
price and quality control hardly need
any argument at this date The weak
ness of all three to date has been one
of the most upsetting features of the
whole fight on the home front
"These points, we submit, make up
the program that needs support and
action If the inflationary gap is not to
become initiation pure and simple. And
general wage stabiliZatiOn should and
would become Il part of the program
If all the points were pushed equally
and simultaneously. That would call,
among other things, for a 100 per cent
tax on excess profits and limitation
of incomes to $4,000 year after
taxes, as suggested by the President
but not by the all-out criers for wage
freezing.
what this program adds up to is no
more and no less than the 7-point anti
imitation program laid down by the
President, which we thought at the
time and still think Is a first-rate pro-
gram-if It's given chance. But the
whole program is needed. and not just
one or two points"

lective bargaining with the company,
which has not signed a union contract
since it locked out union members 81
years ago in its effort to defeat the s.
hour movement.
The International Photo-Engravers
Union. International Printing Press
men and Assistants Union and Inter
national Typographical Union have
placed capable and reSourceful repre-
SentativeS in charge of the Donnelley
organization campaign in Chicago.
These men are working in collabora-
tion with local unions of those inter
nationals and locals of the Interna
tional StereOtyperS and Electrotypers
Union and International brotherhood
of Boolbinders, all affiliated with the
Chicago Printing Trades Unions. A
central office has been established
where all Donneley organizing activi-
ties are coordnated.
As the allied unions have gained
strength within Donnelley'S Chicago
factory, the management has made one
concession after another. Men and
women who have toiled for the com
pany fifteen, twenty and twenty-five
years are unable to recall when they
We're as humanely treated as they have
been in these past few months when
trade unionSm has become entrenched
in the plant. Arbitrary manhandling
of employees has been shelved in favor
of soft-spoken humbug; executives
have put in 1S-hour shifts handshak-
ing factory workers who formerly were
considered merely twO-legged beasts Of
burden. Increases in pay have been
made-alwayS Synchronized with union
activity. Discrimination in the matter
Of working conditions, though by no
means abolished, is much less obvious
than formerly.
The latest strategy of the Donnelley
management is To train as much new
help as possible, and boys and girls are
being taken in daily, in braZen dis
regard Of their own welfare and that
of the country. This comes at the very
period that veteran employees have
been put on short time. Instead of be-
ing demoraliZed by these and similar
maneuvers of the company, the jour
neymen mechanics have become more
militant and aggressive I'm their union
ism, and at least some of the Donnel-
ley executives now frankly recognize
that the day Is not far distant when
the firm must bargain collectively with
the unions chosen by the workers.

PHILIPPINE BROTHERS
BY Daniel B. Straley

MOur not the parting
Nor nourish despair
For q season the weight
OF the cOnqueror bear.
Weep not for the fallen
BY Nipponese slain,
They fought for the faith
And died not in vain.
In the crisis hold tightly
The promise we give.
For a season, no more,
In bondage now live.
The red Orbed white banner
That over you waves
And dOOmS you as slaves,
In terror awaits
Our war birds and prOws
For our banner of freedom
Your freedom avOws.
Then courage, our brothers,
TO your faith firmly cling
For your bells tolling sadness
Will in gladness yet ring.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

This week has been spent largely
in compiling the annual report for the
Pine County Nursing service for the
past year. Much has been accomp-
lished, but there is still much to be
DONE
The members of one household
were chest X-rayed this week, the
father being confined in the Veterans
hospital with tuberculosis. Because
this disease is spread through direct
contacts, it is necessary public
health measure to have the contacts
of all tuberculosis patients X-rayed
to make sure they have not contracted
the disease. Everyone should be
checked for tuberculosis each and
every year. But there are many
other times when it is important to
be examined. This is when some
one you have been working with is
found to have tuberculosis, or when
one "goes in" for athletics, or takes
new job, or are preparing to take
a trip, or get married, and especially
a mother who is going to give birth
to a child. To protect your own
health and to make sure that you
will not infect your baby, be checked
for tuberculosis.
The northeast subcommittee met

urer. They decided to purchase

After the business meeting Miss
Laura Nelson, the county pub
lie health nurse, led in discussion
on nutrition. Proper diet has a very
important part in not only maintain
ing weight but is even more i'm
portant in maintaining resistance
against disease. First aid in freez-
ing and frost bites was also dis
cussed. Obstetric packs were made.

Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKEI SEN

when we are in trouble and turn
to God we find in Him the strength
to endure and courage to carry on >
Thus writes E. T. Randall in a re-
cent issue of ''The Friend. It sug-
gests the possibility that people, when
in trouble, will turn more readily
to God than otherwise This seems
quite plausible, but just why they
should be more concerned about the
practice of their religion in times
of stress than at any other time is
not indicated The question has OBJ
viously been matter of deep con-
Germ and speculation for ages and
it will most likely remain so at least
until other peoples spiritual expert
ences can be seen and adequately
understood by all in the light of
their own religious experiences.
1t is very stimulating indeed to
find that they who are subjected to
persecution on account of their faith,
in spite of pressure and suffering,
have courage and strength to stick to
it and stay with it.
In times of stress the soul of man
certainly needs strength to endure
the hardships that may come his
way. We shall not be disappointed if
we turn to God for such power to
strengthen us.
We can easily see why some peo-
pie (perhaps all of us at times) in
order to save their skin are tempted
to lie about what is an inner con-
viction with them. No one should
hastily pass judgment on them. AS
an alternative to this there are those
who turn to God as soon as they see
trouble approaching also, as it seems,
to save their skin. Such conduct,
however, need not be a sign of soft
ness as some would conclude; it may
indicate that their resistance is break
ing down, but not necessarily; rather
it is sign of sound devoutness, and
as such their experience of God as
the power of strength in their lives
not only under duress but under all
circumstances may be an invaluable
supplement to our own experiences
which should teach us to be careful
in our judgment, or even not to at
tempt to express our opinion until
we know what we ourselves would do
in a similar situation.
The future may find many of us
facing such perils against which very
few would be able to stand firm was
it not for the foundation laid by
Christianity in the lives of those who
confess their adherence to it, and
therefore rightly look to God and
turn to Him for power of strength to
endure.
