At a time like the present. when the most vital subject of public in- terest is the effort to decrease the costs of living, it is very unfortunate that there should be so many strikes.

Sums of money amonnting to over $10,000,.- 00 have been paid in providing these services for the returned soldiers. and of the wholes amount expended, about forty-six per cent is paid in cash to the men in allowances for themselves and their dependents.
