LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1919 LABOR FEDERATION ISSUES REPORT ON INCREASED PRICES Hartford Courant For some months a committee of the New York State Federation of Labor has worked at the problem of increased prices, and on Labor day its report was made public, this event being the important one of that day because, instead of showing its strength by a parade of its mem- bers, labor showed its intelligence by a display of common sense. The report is a long one, the feat- ure of it which attracted attention at the time of publication being a plea for a cessation of strikes for at least six months in order that the gov- ernment might have a fair opportun- ity to reduce prices, but the really significant utterance shows that the committee realizes that production should be stimulated if it is desired to decrease the price of the necessaries of life. The committee has this to say: "That organized labor exert itself to the utmost to increase production of essential commodities and thereby lower the cost of the producer, to enable him to lower the cost to the consumer. This applies, not alone to the necessaries of life, but to all manufactured articles which are bartered in commerce at home and abroad, and the production, manu- facture and sale from which labor draws its earnings and employers their profits. This can only be ac- complished by employers and wage earners working together to that end, each casting aside all striving for temporary advantage and pulling together in double harness for the general good of all the people of the United States and the emancipation of the world from the economic troubles which now beset the peoples of all lands. The eight-hour day for toilers is, generally speaking, an ac- complished fact. "It is labor's duty and it should be its pleasure to produce as much in eight hours as it formerly produced in ten, and even more. To that end every man and woman that works for wages should bend every effort to letting the close of each day's work see that he or she has individually added more, and still mors, of mark- etable commodities to the wealth of the world than he or she produced the day before." This is in line with what the Mid- vale steel workers' said a week earlier and is most gratifying, as showing that a sane idea is spreading. There is no trace of bolshevism in this dec- laration, no catering to the radical element, but an assertion of fact thais inspiring. > In the past labor has released the strike genie from the bottle, and has seen it assume surprisingly large pro- portions. Labor was often aided in the work of releasing this evil spirit by capital, and of late both labor and capital have been alarmed at its ap- pearance. Now labor is endeavoring to imprison the genie in the bottle again, and an utterance of the sort quoted indicates that the effort is be- ing made in good faith. =5% New Trier Sport Notes FOOTBALL SQUADS DRILL HARD FOR ALUMNI SCRAP Forty-five eager boys came out this week and all are training hard to make the football team. Coach Schneider feels confident that with the host of material to select from New Trier will be represented by a strong eleven. Some of last year's boys are back and naturally form the nucleus of the team, but each and every boy seems to have the idea that he can make the team which means that the team will consist of fast and aggressive players only. They will be forced to prove their mettle on Saturday, October 4, when they meet the Alumni at the school diamond. A fast, snappy game is promised to all who can come. Get the New Trier Spirit Small signs in the main buiding are urging all students to "get the true New Trier Spirit." This also ap- plies to sports and you know how the boys work for victory when they know the school is with them. Get the New Trier spirit and come to the Alumni game on October 4. SOCCER TEAM PROVES STRONG IN PRACTICE With most of the old team back and many promising youngsters eager to get into the line-up New Trier seems to be well fortified in the soccer league. The first game will be announced later. Tennis Tournament The school tennis tournament will start Monday at the school courts. Winners will be announced as soon as the tournament is completed in the Sport Notes. Ireland Still Medieval In Ireland we are still medieval, and think that how to live is more important than how to get a living. When I was a young man if I an- nounced that I intended next morn- ing at break of day to start on some enterprise of amusement, or it might be of high duty, the whole family would get up to see me off; but if it were on some matter of mere com- mercial gain, I would breakfast in care of the servants. It was thus through the whole of Irish life.â€"John Butler Yeats. -! Up in the Air. The frigate bird is capable of get- ting up a .speed of 06 miles an hoar with hardly u movement of Its wings.

Hold-Up Trio Jailed; Robbed Wilmette Man Earl Gamron, 206 Sixth street, was the victim of a trio of hold-up men early last Thursday at Eastwood avenue and Central street, Evanston. The men relieved Gamron of $4. Gamron notified' the Evanston police soon after the robbery and a city-wide search was instituted. Policeman Fred Toennes of the Ev- anston force, came upon the trio at the Dempster street elevated station. He recognized them from Gamron's description and a lively battle en- sued. Two of the men were shot by the patrolman, but escaped. Toennes captured the third after a brief chase. Another was found wounded in a wood to the west of Evanston early in the morning and the other wounded man taken from his home in Chicago the following afternoon. The hold-up men gave the names: Joseph Majicia, Pedor Kausmeder and John Gorski, all of Chicago. They are now in the County jail awaiting a hearing before the grand jury. Gamron, son of Dr. Ira C. Gam- ron; was walking east on Central street, Evanston, before midnight when three men came up behind him. They were older and heavier built than himself and when one of them tapped him on the shoulder and commanded him to hold up his hands he responded to their request. The only thing the men obtained from him was a purse which contained $4 and some small change. The men then commanded him to walk west while they proceeded east to the elevated station. Gamron walked to the nearest public phone and communicated with the police. He was taken to the police station where he described as best he could the men who had held him up to Policeman Fred Toenns.

The Journal points out that this simple and logical sys- tem was favored by Washington, Jefferson, Madison and other states- men, and that through-out the hfs- tory of this nation public men and economists have urged the advantag- es of this simple decimal system of weights and measures. The journal draws attention to the fact that one of the earliest orders of the war call- ed for the adoption of metric, units by Britannia and when the United States entered the conflict, America' followed suit. ." "Perhaps the Anglo-Saxon aversion to change would be quickly over- come," declares the Journal, "were it generally known that our meas- urement by weights , ounces and quarts had its origin in Germany."

He knows shops show a multitude of things de- signed to please women, but which to choose is a question. A business man tin Lincoln Parish, La., found a happy solution of the problem last year.
