WASHINGTON, April 7 -
up - President Roosevelt re-
leased report today on the sta
bilization program, which main
tanned that living costs had been
held substantially unchanged
for year and that "wages have
been stabilized"
The report, taking note of the
fact that tomorrow marks the
first anniversary of his "hold-
the-line" order on the cost of
living. was submitted by Fred
Vinson, economic sterilization
director; Chester Bowles, Price
Administrator; Marvin Jones,
War Food Administrator, and
William H. Davis. National War
Labor Board chairman.
AIDS EVERYONE
Mr.. Roosevelt described it as
important because it showed
how the Government was trying
to keep prices from going up
through the roof and ultimate
ly bankrupting everybody in
the country.
"On this first anniversary of
the issuance of the 'hold-the-
line ORDER" the document said,
I'VE can report that the task of
stopping the rice in prices has
thus far been carried out. :.
AS a result the cost of living,
which before the 'hold-the line
order was rising three-quarters
per cent a month, has for a SOL
id year been held without
change of any consequence"
AS matter of fact, the report
said, the cost of living as a
whole is slightly below the lev
els of year ago.
The quartet of government Of
ficials declared that "stabiliza-
ton has brought tangible-in-
deed bankable-benefits to all
groups" They declared stabili-
cation had paid off on every
hand in lasting rather than il
lusory benefits, and had been
of benefit particularly to some

Jobless PdY OKed
By Illinois Court
Dredgeworkers Covered BY
Unemployment Com
pensdtion Act

Chicago Workers employed
on barges and dredges recently have
been held by the State Supreme Court
to be in covered employment under the
Illinois unemployment compensation
act If the movement OF a vessel is ac-
complished only as an incidental part
of their work.
The decision brings under the benefit
provisions of the job insurance law a
sizable number of workers whose
status formerly had been in doubt, and
will require their employers to pay
contributions on wages paid to these
workers.
Interpreting the section of the law
which excludes from covered employ
ment service performed as an officer
or member of the crew of a vessel on
the navigable waters of the United
States" the court held the exclusion
applies only to those persons whose
services substantially tend to promote
the welfare of the vessel as an agency
of navigation.

Traffic Toll Up
Over Lost Yedr
National Sofety Council Re-
ports l4.430 Killed Over
8-Month Period

Chicago GLNS).- Eight months
14,43O killed That is the traffic toll
America piled up on its streets and
highways from Jan. / TO Sept this
year, the National Safety Council re
ported.
The S-month death total was 100
or per cent-greater than for the
same period last year.
Despite the overall increase in
traffic deaths for the S-month period,
traffic safety leaders are inclined to
regard the outlook for the future as
encouraging, the council said. This is
because of per cent drop in the
August traffic death toll from the same
month yer ago, and 4 per cent
reduction in July
These reductions, achieved during
the vacation season, have counter
balanced increases in the early months
of this year AS a result, the council
now believes the 1914 traffic toll may
be no greater than the 1913 total of
% 400.
"Any non-seasonal increase in travel
can change this picture, of course,
said the council, unless drivers ana
recognize the added re-
for their own safety and
the safety of others imposed by III
creased traffic"

she said. 1T is well to remember also
that prejudices surrounding the EN-
ployment of women have been shuflled
around considerably during the war
but have not been eliminated"
Miss Hickey advocated a high level
of production and broad scale distri-
button as 1.-The best way TO prevent re-
erection of pre-war barriers to women s

IF we deny Germany opportunity
to rebuild its industries, we cripple the
nation and make it a hindrance TO
prosperity in other countries.
"Our peace problem is to curb the
German lust for aggression which
twice in short time has plunged the
world into destructive wars. However,
we cannot gain lasting peace by re-
pressing Germany's creative poten-
tialities or closing its opportunities for
progress"

No Rofioning
Of Freedom
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There are 50 many definitions for
inS word because it means all things
to all people.
Ask the small boy on n spring day
and he'll answer you promptly, "No
school and the fish biting" Ask the
speculator, he'll say, mo restrictions
and quick market" ASK the dicta-
tor and he'll say, 4 fat neighbor who
will not struggle against my divine
right to take what / want"
Ask the pioneer and he will say
"Uncluitered horizons and chance 20
make my own way" Ask the idealist
and he will say, ~ new world where
all may share of the bounties of earth"
Ask the religious man and he will say,
a life in which | may worship my
God according to my own conscience
and obey His holy laws
Why are there so many definitions?
Because freedom is not a static thing,
it is not rule but way of life. 1t is
an obligation. 1t is determined by our
relationship to other people. Only the
hermit can be free alone Freedom in
a civilized community is the way Of
life that demands intelligent followers
Freedom does not include the right
to carry poison, TO talk against our
neighbor, to judge him by his ancestors
or his kindred. Only by his companions,
may we ever condemn him. Freedom
carries with it belief in the dignity
and sacredneSs of every human being
For all-Jew and Gentle, White and
Negro, rich and poor-there should be
unrationed brotherhood" is the slogan
of one free community. Freedom must
demonstrate TO the world that a diver
sity of culture strengthens our nation,
feeding with fresh water the springs
of national life.
Freedom is justice and we must re-
member that in court of justice a
man is honest until proven otherwise
Judgment is not passed on what others
have done. Judge not thy neighbors by
others There are good and bad in
every creed and more good than bad.
One mans freedom is another mans
freedom-whether it be in America, in
China, in Norway or in darkest Africa.
No man is really free unless all men
are free. No mans home is safe unless
all mems homes are safe. What is
freedom to you? Think it over care
fully and then apply it TO your fellow
men, to your brother. 1t must fit you
both, or it is not freedom.
