A Dramatic Story, if Revealed.

The story of this great struggle for
political control, if it is revealed in
all its details before the Senate inves-
tigating committee, will be most dra-
matte.

States an insight into the forces which
are active in political affairs. 1t will

President Parry, of the Manufacturers
Association, has already given notice,

Extravagance, according to the die
tionary, is the process of expanding PRO-
fusely.
But extravaganza doesn't always mean
the same thing. Some people expend
profusely when they buy a bill collector
a 10 cent cigar and ask him to come
again for his money. Others live mod
estly so long as they make an automo-
bile do a whole season.
There was time in this country when
extravaganza consisted of buying food
at a store instead of raising II in the
back yard. Nowadays the average man
isn't extravagant until he orders por-
terhouse steak at a first-class restaurant
without looking at the price list.
A long time ago people were extrava-
CANT whenever they spent money for
things which they did not need. But
no man Is extravagant today unless he
cashes in his life insurance to buy his
wife an electric car.
This is a disturbing situation. When

Ulster Idea Gaining Ground.

England is beginning to have doubt
whether there is as much buster il
listers anti-home rule representation
as the Liberals would have the countr,
believe. The second passage OF tn,
Irish home rule bill in the House o.
Commons has inspired the Ulstermen
under the leadership of Sir Edward
Carson and Lord Londonderry. to I'M
dertake tour of Great Britain in tn,
interest OF Ulster.
Sir Edward and Lord Londonderr,

Instinctively sympathizers with Ulster
because of religious beliefs, the Scottish

government. Sir Edwards hope is &c
break this support by an appeal to
blood relationship and to a revived
spirit of the religious srdor that thrilled
Scotland several generations ago.
The Ulster delegation has had a gen.
erous reception in Scotland, and after
successful stay in Glasgow, the party
went to Leeds and to other centers OF
population. Everywhere the appeal mad,

A paragraph clipped from one Of the
British papers, which has a special
correspondent with the Ulster train
reads:
We tell you openly, honestly, and
above board, that we will never sub.

to raise our right arm, to have our al
legiance transferred from the imperial

in our veins is the same spirit and the
same life that in the thirteenth century
won political freedom for Scotland, and
in the seventeenth century won ecclesi-
astical freedom These Ulstermen, your
own kith and kin many of them, will
never prove themselves decadent de-
scendants of the Scottish parents from
whom they come.
These are strong and bitter words.
The attempts to land arms in Ireland
continues. Day after day seizures are
reported. What if Ulster would fight
The prediction is that Ulster will not.
But if Sir Edward should succeed in
bringing about Liberal reverses in the
forthcoming elections, these, added to
the cabinet weakness developed through
the Marconi scandal, may have an
alarming effect on the Liberal govern
ment of England.

Organized Labor Triumphant.

- At the present time, organized labor
has the best of the fight. The manu-
facturers were handicapped from the
very start. Upon the public mind the
cartoon OF the trust magnate in his
dollar-mark clothes had made a deep
impression. There was a belief that
the great corporations were sucking
the very life-blood out of the people.
The manufacturers, growing rich,
were robber barons.
In this state of the public mind the
man who desired to remain in official
life, and was thus dependent upon the
popular vote, dared not raise his voice
in defense of what were somewhat
obviously designated as the interests
On the other hand, it was just as GER
tain to create public favor by espousing
the cause of the laboring man as it
was to denounee the corporations. By

voting for labor laws, the politician
killed two birds with one stone. He
made friends among the most numer-
Gus class of voters and he escaped open
criticism.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that the
records of Congress during the past
eight or ten years show previously
unparalleled number of laws beneficial
to labor. 1t is equally understand
able why the campaign textbooks OF
all the political parties during each
Presidential campaign devoted page
after page to demonstrating that each
had done more for labor than its rival.
Organized labor, the manufacturers,
and the politicians were all in the
game, but each playing it with their
own cards and each trying to win.
Credit organized labor up to the pres
ent time with the greatest number of
tricks. 1T WAS charged that Speaker

that the National Association of Man

civil bill forbidding any appropriations
contained in the measure from being
used to prosecute labor organizations
for alleged violations of the antitrust
act was another great victory for labor
in the battle for political control The
manufacturers have yet to score one
substantial achievement In fact, Null

as friendly to the business interests is
remarkable in the fact that nearly
everybody mentioned is now out of

Labor as a Voting Factor.

One of the reasons why organized
labor is so successful in its fight for
political control is its numerical
strength-a most important factor in
system of government where every
public career is dependent upon ma
jority OF the popular vote.
The American Federation of Labor
represents 100000 men. splendidly or
gained and disciplined. There are
1900 local unions, which publish $40
weekly or monthly papers devoted to
the cause OF labor. Practically every
one of these 100000 men can be re-
lied upon to go to the polls on election
day They know whom TO vote for
and whom to vote against. The
American Federationist has published
a list of members of Congress who
hold union cards. while it has also
printed the names of those whose votes
were antagonistic to labor. The fifteen
members of Congress holding trade
union cards." said President Gompers
in his report published January. 1912.

officers of the American Federation of

best methods by which they could be

rious coincidence that at the very mo-
ment the Mulhall confession was in
course of preparation a subcommittee
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, at meeting held in
this city, and composed of men repre-
setting hundreds of millions of dollars,
decided that as business men they
would take closer interest in po-
litical affairs. and that the test of sup
porting candidates for Congress should
be their regard for business conditions
throughout the country. These bust
ness men had seen the handwriting
upon the wall They knew that or

strongly intrenched, and that, unless
checked, it would go on from victory

of babies born in the siums of Stun
parents.
This condition presents a social
problem, in that its evil effects per.
meates all classes, and in that the CO.
operation of all classes is necessary to
solve it. Government is the instru-
ment of all classes. Therefore, if all
classes are interested in saving the
lives of the menaced babies, govern
ment must act promptly and vigor-
ously.
1t should be made the duty of the
police and health departments of our
cities to cooperate in the work of
locating and ministering to families
where infants are threatened by pre-
ventable death. Quarantine and forci-
Bile vaccination are instituted by these
departments in the interest of public
good. Is the welfare of babies Ian
gushing in oppressive apartments less
a matter for public concern?

How the Fight Began.

Some OF the employers of labor
not all OF them-are not altogether
blameless because the present situation
exists. Capital has not always been
considerable of labor. 1t rested too
largely upon selhshness and sordidness.
Then came the time when the public
conscience was awakened. The dav of
the uplifter was al hand. Newspapers
portrayed little children working in
the mills; they pictured the starving
woman sewing shirts for pittance in
a barren garnet: they empha sized the
dangers OF the railroad employee; and.
engulfed in the wave OF reform which
swept across the country, the people
became suddenly interested in learning
how the other half lived. State Leg
islatures were swamped with remedial
labor legislation. Congress was mum
dated with measures of similar char
acter. Bill, were introduced concerning
subjects which had hitherto been of
no public concern-accident insurance,
reporting accidents, workmen's compen-
sation, employers liability, child labor,
sanitary and safe factories, restricting
hours of labor. protection of members
of labor organizations-but all vitality
affecting the profits OF the manufac-
turer, In many Legislatures these bills
became laws almost as soon as they
were introduced More than this, both
political parties sought to create capital
for themselves by showing the largest
degree of friendlinesS for labor. Ir
began to look as if legislation would
not halt even on the verge of the
most radical laws
When this situation had been
reached, the manufacturers organized.
They started TO fight fire with fire. Po-
litical control seemed to be the solu-
ton of the problem. They befriended
the men who were against the increas-
ing demands of labor and they opposed
the men who were too favorable to
trade unionism. They began battle
royal.
