Mr. I mains' assertion tliat the low j aid man should be helped, drew from Ser'y Ixinc, chairman of th.e commission, a ojuery as to what he considered a low paid man.

CHIC AW. Feb. 10. Victor A. (dander, secretary and treasurer of the Illinois state federation of labor, and vice president of the Internatiemal Seamen's union, Monday made an urgent plea lor adoption of the cU'ht hour day before Federal Jude Samuel Alschuler, who is acting as arbitrator in the stockyards wa-?e dispute. Mr. (dander," whose testimony followed that of J. Ogden Armour, president of Armour c Co., read from reports of the federal department of labor and t-rnidoyer.s of leading industries in substantiation eu his contention that the shorter work day had proved successful wherever tried. 'In nearly all walks of life the ei-'ht hour day now is recognized as the proper standard of a day's work." he declared. "It is no longer an experiment, but has been found to be successful in practically every country. "In this reat world war the countries with the strongest labor organizations and which deal with these bodies in a spirit of justice are making the best showing, before the revolutionin Kussia labor organizations were prohibited. We all know what happened there. In Italy where the labor movement is comparative'y weak, the government met with defeat in battle." Mr. Armour denied on the witness stand that the five big packing companies own the various Mockyards er that they have a combination agreement in the purchasing or livestock. In discussing the labor question, he said he favored equal pay for women performing- the same work as men and understand that this plan was already followed by Armour & Co. Me said he believen in the justice of the demand that men should rest on Sunday. Christmas and other holidays anl agreed with the representatives of orsanued labor that when it is necessary for cmploves to work on these days they should be allowed additional compensation. Mr. Armour expressed the opinion thit the ei-:ht hour day applied to the meat packing industries is a debatable subject, but added that lie was perfectly willing to consider r?.

WASHINGTON, Peb. 19. Specific authority for the control of the manufacture and distribution of foodstuffs and of public eating houses would be conferred upon the president by the food conservation

bill completed Monday by the house agriculture committee. Blanket authority asked for by Pood Admr. Hoover was withheld the committee deciding" to conline the inaure to the features emphasized by Mr. Hoover at committee hearings a? absolutely essential in the food conservation program. A minority report is expected. By controlling manufacture, the food administration would be able to enforce any rules it might make for conserving wheat and other essential foodstuffs by the use of substitutes. Control of distribution would enable the administration to '-?lieve possible shortages in any sections by shipping food from other parts of the country. In the hearings before the committee Mr. Hoover said it was not desired to attempt general rationing, hut that rigid control of public eating houses was necessary to avoid waste and also to stimulate conservation in the home, many housewives having complained of waste in hotels and restaurants. Housewives and farmers are not affected bv the measure.

Hyde, of the Oklahoma state council of national defense, told the senate arriculture committee Monday. Partners are producing so little wheat at the present tixed price. ! lyilo declared, that tho use of wheat will have to be suspended for long periods in 11U9. in order that thorp may be enough of the commodity to send to the front. All legislation over foodstuffs has restricted production, he declared. The farmers have become discouraged with the prices fixed and have refused, to produce at the loss. On the other hand. he charged that uhile the farmer suffered a loss the nnsumers did not benefit, but that the middleman reaped the harvest and his profits were increased.

XPYV YOKK, Feb. 1 Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo Monday appealed to Liberty loan workers in the second federal reserve district to use their utmost efforts in the forthcoming Liberty loan campaign declaring that "upon the speed and efficiency with which you perform the work committed to you depends the live-s of thousands of men and women in the world." "The one thing that impresses me in this great time and gives me a stimulus and intensity of feeling that I cannot describe" wrote Mr. McAdoo in a letter to Uenjamin Strong, governor of the federal roserve bank of Now York, "is the rcllection that as we go al'out our daily tasks here in comparative comfort, men are dying every minute upon those battle tit Ids in Pumpe. "They are shedding their blood without reservation or hesitation to save us and to save civilization in the world. Our own gallant soldiers are beginning to shed their blood upon th1 sacred oil of France. ur gallant steamers are being engulfed in the icy waters of the Atlantic as they go for the defense of America's rights in the perilous task of ridding the seas of Herman submarines. Meant TlMMisunb of Lives. "I want voir to reibet today that upon the speed and efficiency with which you perform the work committed to you depends the lives of thousands of men and women in the world because the more efficient America can make herself in this great time, the more quickly this war will come to a conclusion, the greater the number of mir gallant soldiers and sailors will be saved, and tlif greater the number of stricken civilians who will bn brought back live and happiness again. "And so I leg you to devote yoursehes with that patriotism and that eagerness to sete which is so characteristic of the men and women who devoted themselves to these Liberty loans in the past, to devote yourselves with renewed energy and renewed enthusiasm to these great tasks and I know that when you bring that sort of spirit, that sort of energy t the consideration ot these problems, their solution cannot fr one moment be in doubt."
