What Constitutes Demagogy":

Senator JOHN WORTH KERN Is a man
Of long experience in public affairs; he
was born in 1910 and Is therefore nj
a time Of life which is generally -.
gartied as the age Of discretion. He
has had extensive practice as law

meaning Of words. lie was twice II
Democratic candidate for Governor Of
Indiana. and In 1908 he was his party's
choice for Vice President. Added 10
the fact. then. that his legal experience
presumably taught him the meaning OF
orator must also have given him wide
knowledge Of the effect of words upon
hearers. the moral and the emotional
effect. We say this In an endeavor to
account for an extraordinary utterance
by Senator KERN made In indianapolis
on Saturday before the convention Of
the United Mine Workers Of America.
Senator KERN IL reported thus in a
news despatch
This Ia a crucial time for organized
labor. Enemies OF labor are putting forth
greater efforts than ever before to exert
influence over members Of Congress and
the Senate In an attempt to crush trade
unionism. 1t is a time when there should
be harmony among yourselves"
when Senator KERN declares that
the enemies of labor are putting forth
greater efforts than ever before to ex-
ert influence over members Of Congress
and the Senate in an attempt to crush
trade unionism" he should back up
his statement with specific facts and
documentary evidence. Either 1t IL
true or 1t is hideously false.
1t might he supposed that the Hon.
JOHN WORTH KERN would want to lend
help to the present Democratic Admin
istration in order to bring about an era

LIMITING OPPORTUNITY.
Criticism Of a Critics Prescription Of
More Law.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. While
heartily subscribing to the structures of
your correspondent Mr.. w. w. Niles OH
the recent supposedly philanthropic act OF
Mr.. Henry Ford. 1t seems to me that his
criticism contains the same fatal error
that creeps into many. II not most, of the
current discussions OF social problems.
and that II the invoking OF law to prevent
future similar wrongs.
As with bodily ills. so with social. Cor
rect diagnosis goes long way toward,
but does not necessarily result In. the
proper remedy. Your correspondent opines
that the free distribution OF Mr.. Fords
assets TO his employees has done more
to advance the cause OF socialism than all
the propagandists have been able to ac-
complish In the last twenty years" and
as an antidote forthwith he Is inclined
toward a law limiting individual oppor-
tunity for acquiring wealth." Is 1t not
held by fair minded opponents OF socialism

analysis is this limiting of opportunity

4 COLD STORAGE BILL.
The salt and Preserved Fish Interests
state the Objection TO II.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Str. The
So called Mcclellan cold storage BILL In
troduced In the House OF Representatives
by Representative Kenneth ID. Mcclellan
OF Tennessee, provides that fsh. after
having been kept In cold storage for two
months, shall not be transported In In
terstate commerce. There being no special
provision made for salt and preserved
fish. this bill evidently refers also to
them
1t Is a we'll known fact. and can be
proved by expert testimony very easily.
that both salt and preserved fish may be
kept in cold storage easily for one year
without deteriorating in the very least.
The bill. II passed as II now stands, would
mean not only a serious hardship to the
salt fish interests of this country and all
other countries, but It would also mean
that a very large part Of our population
would be deprived OF ono OF the cheapest
II not the cheapest and wholesomest food
products In tho world. salt fish. Most
salt fish is preserved during the summer.
In northern climates fish can be cured in
the open without being kept In cold stor-
age. In our climate II Is impossible to
cure salt fish without cold storage. II
this bill goes through. salt fish cannot be
shipped from one state to another. and
all this salt fish Will have to be con-
sumed In one state after Il has been kept
in cold storage for two months.
This would be just contrary to the
Views of the present Administration. II
would increase the cost OF living. particu-
larly Of the poor people. because they con-
sumo the largest quantities OF salt hsh
Salt fish IA one OF the cheapest and whole
soonest of food products and there can
be no earthly reason why It's shipment In
interstate commerce should he prohibited
As long as II IL absolutely As good
one year after II has been put into cold
storage as on the very day when put In.
It Is evident that Representative Nickel
lar has overlooked this fact, and that
when he wrote "hsh" in his bill he meant
merely fresh FISH. Whether II Is good
policy to limit the storing OF FISH for two
months | am not prepared TO say, be-
cause ! do not know much about IT, but
I do know enough about salt and pre-
served fish.
The combined salt hsh interests OF this
city have asked me to appear In Wash
ington before the subcommittee In charge
OF this Mcclellan bill and argue this mat
ter for them, and prove to the committee
that salt and preserved fish should be
exempt from this bill. Most of the large
salt fish and preserved fish interests have
written me letters In very strong terms.
which I shall present to the committee
when appear before II in Washington.
II u should appear advisable that .
certain time be set for the storing OF
salt and preserved fish. one year would
be Just about right. Most OF the salt FISH
and preserved fish is not kept In cold
storage for one year. and In disposed OF
before that time but before any decision
Is taken in this matter expert testimony
should he had GI'srAvE foRGEs.
