Italian Socialist
Favors Wilson's Plan
By John H. Hearley j
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Rome, Feb. 20. Former Minister Ion
oins, socialist interventionist, doelarcd
in tho chamber of deputies today that
Italy should follow President Wilson's
advice in the matter of territorial ad
justments after the war.
"There are two currents in Italian
politics one favoring dismemberment
of Austria, tho other favoring limita
tion of territorial gains, " Baid Ionomfc
"President Wilson supported the
latter. Italy should follow his advice.
"America is the new factor upon
which rests the destiny of the war. Hhe
is tho greatest hope of tho allies. But
America is not bound to entente treat
ies. Therefore, the allies should watch
that America treats them impartially,
without hampering Wilson's plans for
a democratic reconstruction of the
world."
The Agonzia Centrale predicts ap
pointment of a commission to present!
personally to President Wilson a defenso
of tho justice of Italy's territorial
claims.
Chicago, Feb. 20. Nelson Morris,
testifying before Federal Arbitrator
Alschuler in tho probe of packing
house wages, said he thought wages
paid Morris and company employes
were sufficient and that $ 1288 a year
was "infinitely highor than nocessary
for a family of five ten live on."
A tentative budaer of living ex
penses submitted by Frank P. Walsh
attorney for the employes, was shown
Morris. Ho declared car tare tor cnu
dren going to school was unnecessary
and that attendance at the theater
three times a year was sufficient entertainment-
Morris thought. "20 a
vear each to clothe three children is
too much and three pairs of shces a
year each looks like ono pair too much'
Fifty dollars yearly for clothes for
a wile of a packing town worker is
sufficient, according to Morris.
Tho witness refused the federal ar
bitrator a free hand in touching the
minimum time guarantee plan effec
tive in the Morris plants- At present
a small amount of the wages is paid
into a fund which provides old age
pensions for the aged.
Morris explained that owing to var
able rocoipts, often thero is not enough
work for CO hours a week, but that
his company paid a minimum of 40
hcurs. Tho maximum wage is 27 2
cents per hour.
Morris said he was willing to adopt
an eight hour day in departments work
ing 24 hours.
'The company is unwilling to in
augurate the plan because dissatisfac
tion would arise in other departments,'
ho said. "But coming from the arbi
trator, no objection wiuld be made to
an eight hour day."
The- living expense budget shown
Morris included ono suit of clothes a
year for the man, ono hat, $8 for un
derwear, $0 for shirts; six tons of coal
at $10; $50 a year for clothing for
tho wifo; 40 cents a day for meat lor
the family of five.
In concluding his testimony, Morris
admitted net profits for his company
in 1910 totalled $3,800,000, and in 1917
$5,400,000i. Ho dtoolared pro'fit this
year would bo cut more than 50 per
cent and would not reach the nine per
cent on the total investment allowed
by tho food administration.
In discussing the allowing of $20
a month fcr house rent, Morris re-plied
that he understood the government al

Walsh, who said there was no compar
ison between living condition of army
officers and packing house employes.
Morris said ho favored sufficient pay
tor laborers to support themselves and
families "in a fair degree of com
fort," and agreed with Walsh "that
any industry that didn't and couldn't
do it had no right to live."
"I think you will have trouble de
fining a fair degree of comfort," Mor

Whether you are a manufacturer of a food product, clothing,
furniture, automobiles or hair pins you have sales problems that
are daily becoming more intense. Probably the most acute of all
your problems today is transportation.
Markets that you have been developing have been suddenly
shut to you because of transportation limitations. Traffic ex
perts say it will be a long time before the railroads will be able
to make prompt deliveries of allclasses of merchandise.
The salvation of the manufacturer facing this problem is the
fact that there are certain markets that can be reached. A care
ful investigation will show you, as it has many others, that your
distribution is scatteredvery little consumer demand and
thus a small volume of business in proportion to the possibilities
oirerea. ; ; , :
Right here is the answer to your sales problem, Mr. Manu
facturer. Hunt those markets as you would a gold mine. Con
centrate in them. Work them as you have never-before worked
a market and in all your work calculations don't forget that
the most powerful weapon you have to fight your battle with is
newspaper advertising.
Never Before has a a chain of circumstances combined
in sach Startling Fashion to hammer home
the truth that Newspaper Advertising
is most efficient and economical.

power to produce sales for them. Your consuming public are
responding ot its appeal every day. You can buy it where you
want it, when you want it andonly as much as you need. No
waste circulation in the marketsyou cannot now reach.

posal. We are equipped to help you solve your sales problem.
