WHY HAVE WAR WHEN THERE IS NO WAR? By J. E. JONES According to the President "every element of normal life amongst deiiends upon and awaits the ratifi cation of the treaty of peace." These were the words he used in his opening address to the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee at the White House conference. He said that the mines of Monthna, Arizona and Alas ka. are being operated at a loss; and that the zinc mines of Missouri, Ten nessee and Wisconsin are being oper ated at one-half their capacity, while the lead mines of Idaho, Illinois and Missouri, reach only a part or their former markets. The demand for cot ton belting and lubricating oil, the President stated, cannot be met. After citing these examples, he observed that "there is hardly a single raw material, a single important foodstuff, or a single Class of manufactured goods which is not In the same cast*, this, he finds Is true "because the channels of trade are barred by war when there is no war." As a result "our full, normal profitable (iroduc tion waits oil peace." us copper All When Will War Be Over? Bureau of Lalior statistics show that the price of clothing in Seattle, in , creased from December, 1914, to June 30 of the present year, 110 per cent ; while It went up to 139 (>er cent in Jacksonville, Florida, with the bal ance of the country soaring in between these price altitudes. Housing, fuel, light, furniture, furnishing and mis cellaneous items are lowest in the Pacific States, and have increased in those regions 05 per cent; while farth er east they rise to 84 per cent in Buffalo and 87 per cent in Norfolk. A study of union wage scales in the District of Columbia, including 58 trades and occupations, shows an in crease of 71 lier cent from May 15 1913, to August 9, 1919. Just how re* presentative this condition is of other cities is problematical. It is certain that in many industrial centers that even conceding - the increased cost of living, as shown by the Bureau ol La l«ir figures, the iiieronsod wage scales mounted above the added burden on living costs, with the result that a good many "laborers" have tasted con siderable real pros(>erity. At the same time the increase in the cost of living lias hit the so-called "middle class," so hard that or "salaried people,' their affairs are in far worse shai»e than those of the "wage-earners."

Organized labor played for every ad vantage in the powerful factor in America's civil and industrial life was Samuel Gompers The Railroad Brotherhoods camped be neath his protecting roof, and whole flocks of "unionists" affiliated with game, and the most the America n Federation of Labor. Among the most recent acquisitions are the New York and Chicago actors Who went on strike and closed theutre after another. one In the one single instance where , Government control has been in force to the limit we find that railroad em plo.ves have received wage increaees in advance of the added high cost of j living. This has been done at the ex-I lieuse of the industry itself, which is piling up huge deficits that are being ! cared for out of the public treasury' Industrial institutions that have had to work out their own salvation have usually increased the costs to the pub In some instances this has re sulted in profiteering—and the Gov ernment is now hunting out instances of this kind. lie. But there has been no constructive and systematic process of equalizing matters since the beginning of the war- As shown above, lieople of the country have exiierionced an era of prosperity while the other half have lieen unable to keep up with tlie increased demands made upon them. This half—and you find them everywhere, are the ones most an-| xious to know when the war will be The Right and Wrong of Organizing The question of the right to organ one-half the over. ize cannot bo lost sight of in the con sidération of the questions involved in the high cost of living. That right of organization, when business, is likely b adopted by big result in prose cations ; since trusts and combinations have been held to be inimical to the public welfare. WHY—GALLEY TWO iae, and so can farmers; and what is lawful for them Is against the law and is a monopoly among the "big fellows." What's fair to Peter is rob bery in the ease of Paul, for when capital seeks to organize itself to pro mote a big forward movement, some one like Mr. Stone of the Railroad Brotherhoods, or Mr. Plumb, arises to make caustic remarks about "Wall Street," which is tame in its methods in comparison with the labor profi teers. The right or wrong of organiza tion apparently rests upon the theory that it makes all the difference in the world who it is frying the fish. And shaking about fish—has it curred to you that a lot of the fish that arc eating up the little ones are fitling their gills in Mr. Gompers' mill pond? Kat learnings Must Be Reduced The profits of (lackers are doubtless abnormal; but the packers are not the only pebbles on the beach that have been («dished by "war when there is no war."
