NEW WAR ENGINES TUSK PRINCIPLES OF HUMANITY TO COVER FUTURE PROGRESS. Members Said to Hold It Next to Impossible to "Imagine" What Will Be Development. WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 5. (By the Associated Press.) The task of forecasting devices to be used in "the next war" is the assignment which has devolved on the sub-committee of distinguished jurjats comprising the conference sub-committee on 1st of welfare. Members of the committee are said to hold it impossible to "imagine" what will be the future development In new engines of ar or in deadly chemical compounds. In tfie comparatively short period which has elapsed since the armistice, several nations are understood to have taken steps to perfect certain equip ment, one example of which is said to be a 3-inch rapid-fire piece for air planes. Possibilities of increased effective ness In submarine and aviation equip ment and intimations of other de structive mechanisms and sinister chemical discoveries capable of deal; Ing death en masse has brought the committee members. It Is said, to the conviction that It would be vain for them to draw detailed regulations for future fighting. The present Idea seems to be to de termine a few comprehensive prin ciples In the direction of humanity and let these principles be made to cover future progress in war ma chines. It may be necessary to set up a permanent commission. RIDGEFIELD TO ELECT City to Vote for Muyor and Coun cilmen Tuesday. RIDGEFIELD. Wash., Dee. E. (Special.)

The country is sufferings from in adequate adjustment, according to a review of W. J. Woaman & Co. One reaction follows bo closely on the heels of another and one group that Is trying to get special advantages for itself Is so dependent on another group that can get no special advan tages that the world appears to be living In an economic "house-that-Jack-bullt." The review continues: High w.-.ge scales Increase produc tion costs to such an extent that the buying power of the community can not absorb normal plant output. This reduces the demand for raw materials aad causes an oversupply of these products. In this way we have the buying power of farmers and miners reduced. As a rejult a great number of industrial workers are thrown out of employment. As unemployment spreads amonn the Industrial work ers there Is further reduction of buy ing power, calling for lessened out put of manufactured commodities and farm products. The traflb feature of the whole dis location is th&t one group of labor Is harming another group. Rents are higher because wages In the building trades are around the peak level and a disproportionate number of new homes Is being built. Fuel Is high because of war-time wage scales at tho mines and high transportation co.'its. Transportation costs are high because fuel costs and railway wage scales are high. Wage bcalea on the average are 100 per cent above the pre-war level; living- costs are 50 per cent above the pre-var level. The prices of farm products are close to the old level, and In si-nn- Instances below It. According? to Index figures pub l.shed by the Harvard committee on economic research, the percentage for October this year based on 1913 averages Is as follows: Cereals and f.our 112; livestock, meat products, l.ldea and leather, 97; metals and metal products. Ill; textiles, 17.1; fuels, 158; building materials. 179. Corn is selling In the Interior of the west at from 20 to 26 cents per tushel. The hardship does not He so much in the low price of corn as In the relatively high price of In dustrial products and consequently the low exchange value of the corn in other words the unprecedentedly low buying power of the agricultural community "We ill know that this disloca tion cannot continue." says the com mittee. "If It persists much longer we shall run into an industrial Im passe, with unemployment even more aggravated than ever. A situation might arise where It would not be a question of wage scales but a Job at any price This Is not a condition sought by employers, but It is likely to come If present union tactics arc adhered to. The crisis In the New England shoe Industry which has re- ' Fulted in the closing of many fac- j torles Illustrates the operation ofi tne principle. "What this country needs what ! the whole world Teeds is a lowering' ol production costs to meet the al- J tered position of world buying power An essential step in this, programme I is a reasonable wage revision, not ? wage collapse There Is no dispo sition on the part of organized labor to permit this sane readjustment. New York Is just now working out of he difficulties Incident to a strike ly the drivers of milk wagons. The men were getting an' average of $43 . week more than 12000 a year. It is safe to say that few, if any, of I the farmers with a doxen cows and s proportionate investment were get t'tig such a return from their en deavors. A strike of garment work ers has begun and promises to last all winter." Coffee Futures Irregular. NEW YORK, Dec.
