AT the Shrine ceremonial the other evening Eric Lund! put on one of the best stunts of the evening. Eric's stunt was so original and ingenious that it took the crowd by storni. THE secret Is out. That scarcity of chairs at the Wood meeting was due to the machinations of the Johnson crowd. At least the Wood boys are saying that Johnson's agonts had m al rented .in advauce. MOIiT TOWLE, who is taking a vacation for the benefit of his health, seems determined to make the rest cure complete for friends have not had a line from him since he headed for his Mchisan retreat.

There was no heckling from t!.audience; no questions were put to him in public and if any were suggesteo prior to the speech lie passed them u; and forestalled others by relating 1 !-, story of the Irish convention in which questions were called for but which brought rough treatment 'o the fcr;i eiuestloner and put an end to lj. He plunged into his subject by tning thdt no man has a cure-all f;-i every government wrong, but tiiere were some things which it icertain can be accomplished. During the war many special laws vvern pasted and power was centralized at Washington until greater powers had k'h conferred upon President Wilson thi.t had ever been centered in one 111a u before. Now that the war is ov, t Johnson thinks the executive shoulu be divested of this regal authority and the autocracy which was haetily built up should be eliminated. "We must repeal those war time laws." h-; sa'id. "throw off this autocratic form of rule and be just plain Americans 8gain." The salaried class he says, Is betV.-i hit hardest by tho high cost of living, "Labor has in a measure been abl'tv obtain for itself an increased income-. although not in proportion to the li creased costs, but the salaried nu.i. whose income is more or ler five,;, finds the burden becoming more am! more burdensome.

Pitiless publicity Is his best remedy for profiteering. Referring to the differences betwen capital and labor and the turmop which has filled the land since the war he said: "I recognize the richt . f capital to organize to further its own I . interests, out I also recognize th right of labor to organize for the same purposes. I recognize the rigin of capito! to be represented by in chosen agents and I also recognize the right of labor to be represented bv its chosen agents.

Tho standpatters claimed that the landlord had raised their rents exorbitantly, and that they would not only continue to keep posession of their apartments, but would refuse to pay the lease raises end fight it out in the courts. The results in many sections of t! city was that vans stood at curbs id hours, while new tenants and landlord.-; threateiH d. flattered and cajoled the rebel flat dwellers in attempts to outt them. In most cases the moving tenants were distinctly out of luck, for as soon as they had left old apartments, other tenants rushed In. it was declared by Maj. H. H.
