LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1918 Arbitrate! By BOOTH TARKINGTON O The Vtilant s In wartimne the strike is not the remedOy for profiteering. Publicity and action by the govermnent are the remedies for profiteering. Profiteering that brings on a strike is, in effect, not better than treason; but a'strike may itself be an attempt to "profiteer" and therefore not better In result than treason. Every sensible person, however, unflerstands that workmen are entitled to as hgh wages as they can get without inte feriug with the utmost possible efficiency of industry engaged int the prosecution of the yar. A strike does interfere with such elici icY, .and therefore means a larger casualty list and increased danger to the country. That is to say: if I am a war industry workman on strike I am prolongIng the war and adding to the risk of America's defeat in the war. Thls means that I cause death and wounds to a certain number of American boys who would have come home safe and sound to their mothers if I hadn't gqne on strike That Is the 'sinpie truth; and if I am impeding a war industry by going on strike, I might just as well lhave torn and tortured the bodies of those boys myself. The responsibility is so terrible that no workman who understands it would take it, .except to avoid a greater amount of torture and death at home through starvaton wages. Arbitration will give him what he needs and what he justifiably wants. TT he whole country understands that a workman cannot live today on the wages of teb, years ago. Wages have * got'to advance, of course, as the price * of commodities advances; and the price of commodities advances, of course, as wages advance ;' though it is to the advantage of the workman to letthe price of commodities begin to advance first. But his wages must take account of higher prices, mad permit hin not only, life, liberty and the *pursuit of happiness, but allow him to save, as Wvehl. That is all that any man on'this earth is entitled to whether he be garbage man or kdiser; and it is all that is worth getting; and the Ideal of thils country is that every main shall have it. This is what wye are fighting for; that no man shall ?take away.: this right from another man, that no man shall make another man his slave,, as the Germans have made conquered labor their slave and as they WCould make slaves of us if they conquered us. Now such is the temper of our country that the responsibility for a strike which means more death, more crippling, more blinding, more shot away faces, for our young men, sons of workingmen and sons of capitalists, fighting side by side and comrades "over there," as they Will Ire over here when they come home-the responsibility for such a strike Is an infinitely heavier and more dangerous thing than those who rashly assume that responsibility can know, and no decent human being could be so selfish and so treacherous to his country as knowingly o brig abot suci a stri& And the temper of the country in these days is to know causes as well as results. Where the greediness of a profiteer has caused a strike, his money will not be envied him for he shall not have it, tor his E:berty either. And it is unthinkable that American workmen, or workmen who are human beings, for that matter-it Is unthinkable that they will strike, even for mere justice, without'having to the last.utmost atom of their energy pressed for settlement by arbitration. The syndicate service, founded by Samuel Gompers and representing the point of view of the American Federation of Labor, reports an address by William Mosses, president of the Pat- ,torn Makers' Union of Great Britain. Mr. Mosses was speaking in the Labor Temple in San Francisco. lie said: "We were requested to abrogate our working rules and agreements . eghelt hin,- tlyt tene to give up everyting that tended to restrict output. .... Being convinced that this was necessary, unless we de-. sired to see the entire world subjugated by German autocracy, we recommended that our unions submit to the request made by the government. . Thhi.s meant that there was to be no stoppage of work during the war. It meant the acceptance of compulsory arbitration. . . . We have secured better results through arbitration than by resorting to the strike, which should be used as a last resort aftr all else has failed. If this is done, the strike ,Veapon will rest in its scabbard," And Mr. Mosses said.another thing worth thinking about. "Today labor in Great Britain is more prosperois than ever before in its history.. Our influence is greater,than ever before and our workers are enjoying wealth beyond the dream of avarice." Notonly is arbitration necessary, but it pays! -PASSING OF MR. JOHNSTON * By ISOBEL FIELD . of the Vigilantes. The traditional Englishman, he of the, eyeglass and the haw-haw manner, has been thrown into the discard. The last four years have changed our views on many things and today when we think of a Britisher it, is not as we used to see him,' in caricature, but as he is, a simple, likable, friendly chap, and "a first-class ighting man.r T-tE NEW LIFE By ZOE ADKINS of the' Vigilantes. This is an Intermission: Time stand sttll, And we-as lost as children in a haze- To take from some heritage of other days Forgotten faith and unsuspected will; We have gone back, like children, to our knees, And we have learned the sad and splendid prIde Of those whose dearest .gloriously died, Knowing our own face Death across the seas. Oh, after this-when joy-bells ring out peace, And home our war-tired heroes come again, Shall we not vow ourselves, when war shall cease. To a new life, and prove that not In vain We saw the Prussian sword drawn from its sheath And neutral lands-and children-fall beneath? THE FASHION OF 1918 By ISOBEL FIELD. of the Vi;Ilantes. Her hat was plainly, old fashioned, and the ribbon that adorned it had evidently been cleaned and pressed with a hot iron ; her tailor-made suit, though Well fitting, wvas faded in color and cut in the mode of year before last; but she walked down Fifth avenue among the best-dressed women in the world with a swving of the skirts and a noble cpndescension of glance that attracted my attention. I watched her with interest, sauntering a little ahead and stopping at shop windows to study her as she passed. WVas she a great painter, authoress or petlpuffed up wvith her wvell-deserved fame? No, her face wvas not famillar, as, in these days of newspaper photography it would be were she of the elect. She was neither young'nor strikingly beautiful, yet why the grand manner as of one above the common herd? Suddenly she paused beside me to cast an indifferent glance at a dazzling rray of diamonds in a shop window and then I discovered the secret of her proud bearing. What need had she of fine clothes or feathers in her hat? She was dressed in the height of the fashion of 1918. On the breast of her shabby jacket she wore a little service bar and on that bar were three blue starsl EXPOSE EVERY ONE ]By HARRY V. MARTIN of the Vigilantes. While we are at It, reporting German spies to the federal goverbment, wvhy not go alittle further and give your local food administrator the names of those grocers and butchers who are charging more for their goods than they should? By helping to force up the cost of living, already deucedly high, these-petit larceny profiteers, although waving the American lag at every opportunity; are really helping the kaiser.

Your active and intelligent co-operation thus far is fully and gratefully appreciated, but even greater and more concentrated effort is demanded of all of us. It is not patriotic to use canned food when fresh can be had. For instance; now is the time to can, dry or otherwise preserve vegetables and fruits. On the other hand, now is the time to consume plentifully all the vegetables and fruits and to can only that wich we do not immediately need. We ask you to urge the consumption of all vegetables and fruits while they are fresh I thus promoting health while saving labor and expense of canning. If we follow this rule closely as individuals and cominunities, we are saving transportation and permitting greater' quantities of the staples to be sent to our troops and our Allies.! All, who can possibly use them, should write to the United States Denartment of Agriculture, Division of Publications, Washington, D. C., for the following bulletins" No. 871. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables as Con,ervers of other staple Foods. No. 839. Home Canning by the One-Period Cold-Pack Method. No. 841., Home and Community Drying of Fruits and Vegetables. No. 853.
