Mr Bryan believes that every woman will enlist in tne

It is not the men as a rule who refuse toleration and
forgiveness It is the women who n?ver forget, or forgive
the erring of their sex, and do forget and forgive the erring
of the opposite sex, and just how government ukase can
change their attitude in beyond mere man. Most efforts to
place the sexes upon the same moral plane result in lowering
women to man's level, instead of raising man to women's level
and work towards the destruction of the home.
However the men are quite willing to let the women
decide the issue.

Cooperation the Solution
Some 16,000 workers have been locked out by six firms
of New York clothing manufacturers as the initial move in a
war upon unionism, said to be nation wide in its scope, with
the object of establishing the open shop and securing lower
wage scales. -
This attitude is in contrast with that of many other indus
tries where employers having explained conditions to em
ployes, find the latter willing to cooperate in keeping plants
open by accepting reduced wages and in many instances,
cheerfully working part time during the period of the
depression. "

Spokane has voted to adhere to the eight hour day, and
"condemn any individual employer who attempts to exploit
the present surplus of labor."
One benefit seems to be resulting from the slump generally,
and that is the development of a better spirit of cooperation
between employer and employe. Of course there are employ
ers who stand-pat for industrial autocracy and are taking
advantage of conditions and on the other hand there are em
oii i,r,i-onennnhle. whose aim is really communism.

Price Declines
. According to the Federal Reserve bank, price declines in
the past six months are the most abrupt since the first six
months of 1865, following the close of the civil war, yet
throughout the period the availability of credits has pre
vented disaster. .
In foods, sugar has declined 54.5 percent since the peak
month of June. Wheat 36.4 percent, corn 52.7 percent, oats
57.4 percent, potatoes 71.7 percent, Hour 88$ percent ami
hogs (live) 24.5 percent.
In textiles, cotton raw has declined 55.6 percent, cot

These declines are in wholesale prices. As soon as the

got rid of, new orders placed under the lower prices will
start the wheels of industry and the depression will be over.
While prices will not be as low as in the previous period, they

At that question Jimmy Rabhn

young son of the soil, is banished
