The fighters then went on to
make low-level attack on Yenang-

Starvation Allowance

The allowances given the de-
penGents of Americas fighting
men amount to national dis
grace. At a time when we are
spending hundreds of billions to
fight the war. the government
gives the dependent mothers,
children and wives of soldiers
and sailors sums ranging from
Sis to $50 per month each. And
$50 of q $50 allowance comes out
of the $50 a month paid to pri.
vate soldier.
Contrast this with the gener-
GUS treatment accorded labor.
Its wages are at all-time highs.
1t has been promptly given al
most every wage increase it has
demanded. The War l. a b r
Board has allowed major labor
groups recent wage increases on
the grounds that they are neces-
sary to compensate for increases
in the cost of living" A n d
while that goes on, the depend
ents of men who we're drafted
into service receive pensions
which are not enough to keep
body and soul together. A con-
siderable percentage of those de-
pendents. because of health and
age, are unable to work.
The cost of adequate pensions
to those dependents would never
be noticed in the overall cost of
the war. Adequate pensions
would do more to create real mo.
rale among the fighting men
than all the flag-waving speeches
ever made.
What is a soldier to t h i n k
when he hears of workers re-
ceiving $50 to $3.50 q week in
war industry at a time when
government aid to mis- depend.
ents virtually condemns them to
public charity.

lman-at-Largc George II. Bender Of
Ohio. who is now serving his sec
ond term in the United States
House Of Representatives, has an
nonnced his candidacy for re-elec-
ton to Congress.
In statement released at Wash

that he would seek the nomination

1912.

vas elected to the State Senate of
Ohio, to become the youngest MEM
Der in the history Of the Ohio Sem

American policy in the years ahead
must be dictated by a recognition

tory closer.
