IGHER wages, shorter hours, better working conditions, are benefits which labor in the United States has secured as its just due, sooner and in larger measure than it could otherwise | have secured them, owing to great economic emergency created by! war, This does not. mean that all workers are now fairly paid or that) , every family finds its weekly budget balancing comfortably on the ” right side. Nothing like it. What it does mean is that wage levels and living standards among wage earners generally throughout the country have never been so high. r In this great fact organized labor in the United Braves oes its Winnings. } Does it see its responsibilities as well? | The Evening World has received many letters protesting against the view that Mr. Gompers was too warlike, too uncompromising in advance when he declared that “organized labor will fight to the last gasp to maintain the advantages in wages and hours which it has won through the war.” +f Even to a Nation in full sympathy with the just claims of organ- labor, the Gompers attitude thus stated may not seem the atti- de that will carry labor and its claims most successfully through the ult period of reconstruction, Still less may it seem the attitude that will best help labor to} brivstana the sinister and increasing influence of its worst tempters. | The terrible power exerted by those same tempters to-day in ebavulsed nations struggling toward new forms of government is only | plainly one of the supreme dangers that menace the success of t! 1e| t readjustments to be undertaken in the coming » Settlement. | Bolsheviki, Anarchists, the more violent of the Socialist groups— [these are now filling the ear of labor in Europe with fierce per- asions and promptings. It is with the name of labor that the most) . ywless of the Reds everywhere seek to cover the murder and outrage} which they stir up the wretched dregs of peoples. This is the moment of moments when labor in the United States ht to stand so far above the reach of prowling instigators of archy and violence as to be ® constant example and guide to labor) &ll the revolution-racked nations of Europe. Nothing can be more certain than that Mr. Gompers meant to ggest neither lawlessness nor violence in the methods by which ganized labor in this country is to seek to myintain the advantages if has won. Nevertheless Mr. Gompers would be the last to deny that labor, ofganized and unorganized, is just now more than ever exposed to the isperings and temptings of those who would have it believe that bpmbs, rifles, pistols and swords are weapons that will win what it adke for. | The world is full of a post-war restlessness that reaches out for He gains and recoils from the losses. Kyen in the United States the Rbd Flag is already to be reckoned with. It waves right here in New Yprk and goes on waving despite all efforts to suppress it or to mini- nize its significance, while American Socialists like Vietor Berger} and Max Eastman openly proclaim that Socialism and Bolskevism are *ymonymous, Amid such dangers we would rather not see organized labor in United States committed first and foremost to aggressive, militant ddfense of every dollar of its war gains as represented by present wage figures, We would rather hear it declaring a willingness to co-operate in Nation-wide efforts to work out problems of wages and prices on itable and at the same time economically sound bases. We would rather see it seeking to spread among American workers generally information and argument that would help them to grasp the simple, economic fact that they are consumers as well as, Wage earners, and there is no gain in raising wages as quoted in terms) eel so long as there are recurrent corresponding increases in| money prices of all necessities into which the cost of labor ente |» Five dollars a day is no better pay than four dollars if at the; sme time the cost of a day’s bare living for a family advances from! e dollars to four. ? High money wages are not what they sound if they are constantly ping the cost of living to attain new altitude records, Organized labor in the United States is entitled to benefits and) gaa standards of living based on a foundation more lasting than! wage figures, which mean nothing unless prices of food, fuel, dothing and other common necessities are kept within bounds. Tf labor will learn to think of itself as a consumer no less than a producer it will find itself much more in line at this time with oot national interests—including its own.

Do you still thrill and quiver at the sound of an airplane humming over your roof or the ominous scream of @ siren on a passing fire engine? q Do you wake up in the middle of the night and ile there, Tossing and tossing for hours and hours, And trying to decide what ought to be done itt the Kaiser, . And just how to do it Without making a “martyr” and a “hero” of him And whether or not we ought to feed the German people, And how long it will be before we get all “the darling boys” back homeg. And, after awhile, do you doze off And dream that you are trimming the Kaiser's mustaches, And telling him to “Sit STILL?” Or that you are quarreling with the Bolsheviki and calling them “NQ@ gentlemen,” and names like that? Or that the ex-Crown Prince has gotten in by the dumbwalter and ig looting your jewel-box and trying to kiss the maid? Or that von Tirpitz is sitting on top of an Alp building a Swiss navy ou® of cheese boxes—and nobody’ll stop him?

Avoid cold storage poultry if you can secure the “near by” product. A chicken for roasting should be plump and select,’ with a short body in proportion to its legs. See that the skin is'unbroken, There is no objection to pin feathers, these indicate that it is a young bird, but if there are hairs you will know it has reached the older stage. Contrary to general opinion the color of chicken is immaterial. The yellow ones which we have always considered the best are no better than those of darker hue, It merely indicates they are of a different vari- ety of bird. In selecting a chicken observe the feet, These should be soft and pliable.
