NAVAL NEEDS SERVED

Naval Appropriation Bill Properly
Amended In the Senate-Party of
Government Has Once More
Asserted Itself

An interesting bit of news comes
from the committee rooms of the sen
ate. 1t is to the effect that the naval
appropriation bill will be amended to
include provision for two new first.
class battleships.
Furthermore. 1t Is generally under.
stood that when the bill comes back
to the house In conference the Demo.
Gratis there will meekly accept the
provision as the easy way out of their
colossal blunder of refusing the in
crease necessary to maintain the
navy at its present strength.
The house Democrats started out
to make record Of economy. 1t was
wise and shrewd policy. All sober
minded citizens view with increasing
uneasiness the swelling cost and bur
den of government. But in the Dsmo-
cratic caucus combination of petty
economy and peace lunatics got the
upper hand of the party's real lead
ers.
The caucus voted to cripple the
navy by denying proper replacement
oil WORKOUT ships and an Increase
commensurate with what other naval
powers are doing And the house
Democrats speedily found out that 1t
is not popular" to neglect or impair
the national defense.
Even the Democratic press came to
the support OF the navy. The house
Democrats were reminded that "a
strong navy is the cheapest insurance
OF peace" that "battleships are
cheaper than battles" that the Mon
roe doctrine is international law only
when backed by strong feet" that
twelve-inch guns speak louder than
Hague arbitrators"
The effort to cripple the navy was
everywhere spoken CT as a new evil
dence OF the general unfitness OF the
Democratic party to govern the coun-
try.
And most of the house Democrats
are very glad indeed that the senate
is there to help them out of their
blunder by suitable amendment to
the navy bill

A decision was handed down by
the United States Supreme court or
Monday concerning practice thai
has long fiourished, and contributed
more to the imitation of corporate cap
ital and the creation of big fortunes
than any other single method. II
has long been a recognized method
for promoters OF corporate enter
prise to unload on the corporation
properties more or less shadowy OF
their own for several times their
value and pocket the proceeds. The
New York court of appeals held in
several cases that II the men en-
gagged in this practice owned all the
stock OF the corporation they were
within their rights. and the innocent
investor who subsequently put his
money In that doctored stock had nc
recourse. The United States Su.
preme court upheld at least one such
decision OF that court.
But the Massachusetts, supreme
court in the case OF the Old Domin.
ion Copper Mining and Smelling com
pany versus Bigelow and Lewiston
held that the company when no long
er controlled by Its promoters could
rescind such contracts to purchase
the property and call on the officers
who had made them for their own
profit for an accounting. The United
States Supreme court sustained this
decision, practically reversing its
former one. and Bigelow is forced to
repay 100000 with interest.
It Is an important question how far
this decision can reach back into the
past. II II should have an unlimited
reach some Of the big fortunes OF
stock promotion might undergo a gen.
eral and revolutionary dissolution

WILL NOT APPEAL TO VOTERS
Democrats Arc Too Clearly "Playlng
Politics" In Regard to
the Tariff.

Adhering to It's decision to prevent
the passage of any of the tariff bills.
so as to avoid the issue of having the
president veto them. the senate has
determined to tie reciprocity amend
ment-like that added to the steel bill
to every tariff measure before 1t,
and to pass the bills with this cum
brance. The house now is bitterly op'
posed to the worldwide imposition OF
two-dollar duty upon the print page,
and 1t is confidently believed that
when the bills with the reciprocity
amendment shall come to conference
the house conferees will steadfastly
refuse to accept them In that form and
the senate will refuse to have them
adopted without the reciprocity fea
ture.
The house Democrats have been
working the tariff bills for all they are
worth, but this kind Of chaff will be
too dry in the coming campaign. The
great masses of the voters have paid
absolutely no attention to the antics
of the Democrats with reference to
the tariff, and when they seek to en-.
thuse the people during the campaign
they will find that there is not the
slightest bit of magnetism in the Issue
OF the attitude of the party upon the
tariff bills.
The tactics of the Democrats show
they have learned nothing and they
are seeking by the cumbrous and anti
quated tricks of past days to gain
some degree of advantage over the
Republicans. The latter. II they ad-
here to their intention to send the
bills to conference with the reciprocity
amendment. will effectually tie the
hands OF their adversaries, even
though there is no reason to fear the
results Of outright opposition to the
bills or even of passing them with the
expectation of the president vetoing
them. The record of the present SEES
sion of the house upon this subject
will not add glory to the Democratic
candidates. Consequently the senate

UNION MADE GOODS.
Failure to Demand Label Helps the
Foes of Organized Labor.

Failure to Demand Label Helps the
Foes of Organized Labor.
There are IA number of trade union
lists who think themselves loyal sup
porters of the movement because they
pay their dues regularly, attend their
meetings and would rather go on strike
than work alongside a nonunion man.
yet these same men will purchase
bread, shoes, hats, clothing, furniture,
tools and tobacco without giving a
thought to the conditions under which
these articles were made or without
realizing that they are helping their
avowed enemies, the Manufacturers
association, to gain ground.
1t was to aid the members of all the
trade unions of the country to distin-
guish between goods made under fair
or unfair conditions that the union la.
bel was first brought into use. and it
is this label that can be made the
most effective weapon against the on
slaught made upon unionism by the
foes of organized labor Workingmen
constitute the larger part of the pur.
chasing public, inasmuch as their
wages are redistributed almost as soon
as they are received, and it is to their
fellow workers in other trades that
the members of each union must look
for support 1t is obvious, for instance,
that the halter will wear union made
hats. the baker eat union made bread,
the clgarmnker smoke union made CT.
CARS, but it is only when each of these
three extends the principle that
prompts him to aid his own union and
to help the other two that he takes
step toward progress in true unionism.
The building trades unions do not
suffer from this indifference to quite
the same extent as other organizations,
for the reason that the men who fol
low the different branches of construc-
ton work are well organized. Yet
even as far as these unions are con.
cerned, greater reciprocity would re-
suit in the strengthening of the cause
of organized labor in general and the
growth and higher efficiency of the re-
spective organizations in particular

chiefly to rely upon the support OF
their brother workingmen. 1t stands
to reason that no capitalist will go
about making propaganda for the I'M
ion label, and it Is the trade unionists
who must show the employers by a
constantly expressed demand for I'M
ion made goods that 1t will be to their
advantage to supply such demand.
Support of this kind will help these
weaker organizations to gain in
strength, and long hours, child labor
and insanitary conditions will boone
things of the past.

low workers from the undercurrent OF
industrial lavery.-James Mcguire.
