War's Fabulous Cost.
The European war is costing
about $110,000,000 a day. The
total cost during the first two
years, ending July 31, was $55,
000,000,000. This is cost of con
duct of the war proper, and does
not include losses caused by des
truction of property, impairment
and annihilation of industries,
crippling and maiming of men,
etc.
Of the $55,000,000,000 spent
in two years, the Entente Allies
have spent almost two-thirds, the
Central powers one-third. Great
Britain and her colonies, Russia
and France have contributed
nearly all of this, in the order
named. Germany has borne two
thirds of the cost of the Teuton
ic bill, Austria-Hungary the oth
er third.
The present cost of the war is
divided as follows: Great Bri
tian, $30,000,000 (official figures)
France, $17,000,000; Russsia,
$8,000,000: Italy, $8,500,000;
Germany, $23,000,000, and Aus-
tro-Hungary, $12,000,000, the
lesser powers making up the bal
ance.
Great Britian is theonly power
which is paying part of the capi
tal cost of the war out of current
income. Germany is compound
ing her debt by not taking in
taxes enough to cover all her in
terest charges.
Jobs for the Jobless.
The Federal Employment ser
vice, connected with the Depart
mentof Labor, found jobs for
75,156 unemployed throughout
the country during the past fis
cal year, being of service to 25,
645 employers of labor.
An important line of work
done by the service was in se
curing certified seamen to com-
plete crews of vessels and in re
porting to masters of vessels
shortage of seamen in various
ports and where seamen could
be secured.
The most fertile field for oper
ation of the service was the sup
plying of harvest hands tor the
wheat fields of the Middle and
Northwest states. Through the
immigration officers in Chicago
and other branches many large
wheat and corn growers were
aole to get m touch witn crews
or individual harvest hands,
with the result that the needed
labor in the wheat and corn belts
was better distributed than ever
before.
It is the purpose of the direct
or of the service, Terence V.
Powderly, to develop and ex
tend the opportunities of the
service during the coming year
with the idea of making it more
effective. He will have the as
sistance of the postmasters, who
in their recent convention in
Washington were directed by
Postmaster General Burleson to
give all assistance possible by
accepting for registration every
applicant for work forwarding
the application and address to
the nearest immigration office.
Forget your Aches.
Stiff knees, aching limbs, lame back
make life a burden. If you suffer
from rheumatism, gout, lumbago,
neuralgia, get a bottle of Sloan's Lin
iment, the universal remedy for pain.
Easy to apply; it penetrates without
rubbing and soothes the tender flesh.
Cleaner and more effective than mus
sy ointments or poultices. For strains
or sprains, sore muscles or wrenched
ligaments resulting from strenuous
exercise Sloan's Liniment gives
quick relief. Keep it on hand for
emergencies. At Paull Drug Co. 25c
Adv.
Speaker Champ Ciark opened
the Democratic campaign in
Maine Saturday in which he
scored Hughes as a reactionary
and a knocker.
The railroads assert that the
refusal of the men to arbitrate
the eight hour proposition is an
admission of the unreasonable
ness of their demand.

DEMANDS OF R. R. TRA'.NMENf.
Wage Increase of $100,000,000 a' Year
Would Have to Be Borne by Public.
The train service employes of all
railroad lines in the United States have
united in a demand for a new basis oT
pay for all men engaged In operating
trains, except those in passenger serv
ice. At the present time they are paitL'
on the basis of ten hours of time- or
100 miles of distance, whichever gives--them
the higher pay; and every man
receives a full day's pay, no znattsr
how short a time he works.
The trainmen now demand that, in
all hut passenger service, (1) the- pras
ent ten hours pay shall be given for
elght hours, or less, with a guarantee
of a full day's pay, no matter how lit
tle service is performed; (2) overtime
to begin after eight hours, instead aT
after ten hours, and to be paid for at
one and one-half times the hourly ratc-.
These demands would increase- the.
hourly rate of pay 23 per cent, and tbe--overtlme
rate S7& per cent
They also insist that all special extra
pay provisions in the 10-hour schedules
shall he included in the proposed'
8-hour schedule.
These snecial rules frequently giTe
double pay for the same service, and"
enable the employes to earn two ami:
three days' pay in a slrurle day of- '
ordinary working hours. t
As the Increase for all the lines is es
timated to amount to $100,000,000 s.
year the railroads say that they cannot
pay It unless they are allowed to- in
crease freight and passenger rates.
The average wages of the men en
gaged in train service are already t&tj
much higher than those of other em
ployees and they receive 2S per- cent of
the total payroll although constituting
only IS per .cent of the whole number,
of railroad workers.
-Or
GOVERNMENT SHOULD
REGULATE WAGES.
If a set of conditions have
arisen which oblige the govern
ment to regulate rates, then it
is equally obliged, on the basis,
of economic analysis, to regulate
wages accordingly. Having tak
en one step, it must take the
other. The logic of events is
forcing this dilemma on the gov
ernment. It is the public which
sooner or later must pay for the
Increased expenses of transpor
tation. Professor J. Laurence
Laughlln, University of Chicago-.
