"The people bought more canned

overlooked the canned meats which
are really excellent values.
Call Out Troops.
So great was the crowd of cus
tomers yesterday morning that
troops were called in from Fort
Omaha to keep order.
Market baskets, bags, grips and
suitcases were much in evidence, for
nearly everyone had brought some-
thing in which lo carry their pur
chases. Several dozen automobiles
were also parked as near as possible

Wages Should Be No Lower
. . . .
(From the report on "Social Reconstruction: A Gen
eral Review of the Problems and Survey of Remedies'
issued by the National Catholic War Council)
"The general level of wages attained
during the war should not be lowered.
In a few industries, especially some directly
and peculiarly connected with the carrying
on of war, wages have reached a plane upon
which they cannot possibly continue for this
grade of occupations.
But the number of workers m this situ
ation is an extremely small proportion of
the entire wage-earning population. The
overwhelming majority should not be com
pelled or suffered to undergo any reduction
in their rates of remuneration, for two rea
sons: First, because the average rate of pay
has not increased faster than the cost of liv
ing; second, because a considerable majority
of the wage-earners of the United States,
both men and women, were not receiving
living wages when prices began to rise in 191 5.
Less than
Living Wages Prevail,
In that year, according to Lauck
and Sydenstricker, whose work is the
most comprehensive on the subject, four
fifths of the heads of families obtained less
than 800 dollars, while two-thirds of the
female wage-earners were paid less than
400 dollars.
' Even if the prices of goods should fall to
the level on which they were in 191 some
thing that cannot be hoped for within five
years the average present rates of wages
would not exceed the equivalent of a decent
livelihood, in the case of the vast majority. 1
The exceptional instances to the contrary
are practically all among the skilled workers.
Therefore, wages on the whole should not
be reduced even when the cost of living re
cedes from its present high level.
The Living Wage
Not a Maximum
Even if the great majority of
workers were now in receipt of more
than living wages, there are no good reasons
why rates of pay should be lowered. After"
all, a living wage is not necessarily the full
measure of justice. All the Catholic authori
ties on the subject explicitly declare that
this is only the minimum of justice. In a
country as rich as ours, there are very few
cases in which it is possible to prove that the
worker would be getting more than that to
which he has a right if he were paid some
thing in excess of this ethical minimum.
The only persons who would benefit
considerably through a general reduction of
wages are the less efficient among the capi
talists, and the more comfortable sections of
the consumers. The wage-earners would lose
more in remuneration than they would gain
from whatever fall in prices occurred as a
direct result of the fall tn wages.
On grounds both of justice and sound
economics, we should give our hearty sup
port to all legitimate efforts made by labor
' to resist general wage reductions."

They were arrested at 2 yesterday

Policeman Munch, who raided the
doctor's rooms. That Miss Stein

and iron there with deputy sheriffs,
paid "gunmen" and Pennsylvania
state constabulary as its chief expo
nents. Murder and assault of steel
workers were of everyday occur
rence, he alleged, and in this con
nection he sketched dramatically the
story of the killing of one woman,
an organizer of mine workers, which
occurred before .the steel strike was
called.
Fitzpatrick's deductions from this
occurrence led to sharp questioning
by senators.
"Do you feel that the steel com
pany officials directly ordered the
killing of this woman?" asked Sen
ator Sterling, republican, South
Dakota. -
"Yes, I do," Fitzpatrick re
sponded. "Think they had a meeting and
decided upon murder?"
"Oh, I don't think they passed a
motion and left a record, if that's
what you mean."
Elsewhere Fair Treatment.
Elsewhere in the steel industry,
the witness said, striking workers
were meeting with fair treatment.
Fitzpatrick said organization of
the steel industry had been decided
upon by the American Federation
of Labor because it was a "bad
spot in the industrial situation"
with the men forced to work long
hours at small wages and under
bad conditions.
With the actual calling of 'the
strike, a list of 12 demands had
been made upon which the 24
unions had combined, Fitzpatrick
said. 1 These demands included
recognition of collective bargaining.
the eight-hour day, reinstatement
with pay of all men discharged for
union activities and adoption of the
"check off" system by which the
companies would collect union dues
from the men. Wages were not
specifically mentioned.
On this last subject Fitzpatrick
had two views. "The industry pays
less than paupers get," he said at
one point, but several times later
he asserted that money was not the
issue. .
"The hours are terrible, the men
tell us. The conditions are awful.
Their women want more happi
ness." j i ,
Referring to $6 a day as the
wage drawn by highly skilled steel
workers, Fitzpatrick said this was
"a mere pittance for the work they
do." Average wages he said, were
around 40 cents an hour.
35 Injured in Collision

five persons were injured, 10 seri

the rear-end collision of two crowd

a short circuit caused the front end
of the car to burst into flames and
ran three blocks down a hill, driving
a third of the way into the rear of
the other car.

Yea or Nay on Treaty
Requested by Wilson
(Continued From Fas One.)
British empire could outvote the
other nations because the empire's
six votes are in the assembly, which
is only the "talking body" of the
league. The real power of action,
he said, was in the council, whose
decisions must be unanimous.
Paying a tribute to the British col
onies, the president asked whether
Canada was not more likely to agree
with the United States than with
Great Britain. He made a plea that
"language of jealousy" be swept
aside and that Americans "should be
big enough" to look at the question '
in its true light.
The president went into the Shan
tung settlement at length, declaring
it was the League of Nations which
would give China her opportunity to
free herself from the inroads made
upon her by other nations. The dis
position of Shantung, he said, was
the best that could be obtained at
the time.

There can be no doubt, the sen

is the only remedy that is proposed.
