For Polish War victims.

OMAHA. Neb., March 22.-To the Editor
of The Bee: The daily reports which
come to us through the public press and
private letters OF the desolaton and its
consequent sufferings caused by tho
present European war In various coun-
tries shock the minds and hearts of all.
Irrespective OF our sympathies or an
tipathies for the warning sides. we feel
pity for those who have been deprived
of homes and bread through this un-
fortunate war. and We are not content
with mere sentimentality in this case.
but hasten 10 bring relief to the suf-
ferers. How much has not been done
for the war victims in Belgium?
Kind friends, there is another country
which Is suffering as much, or even more.
than Belgium by this terrible war which
Is raging in Europe. That country is
Poland. Galicia in Austria and Russian
Poland have been the scenes of the most
devastating war operations for the last
six month. Tremendous armies have
crossed this territory. leaving in their
trail ruin and devastation The suffer-
ing entailed upon the inha bitants of these
territories by the prolonged contentious
OF the warning nations are simply beyond
all descriptions. Actually, millions OF
innocent people women and children, are
starving To death. The condition OF
these people is so pitiful that a world
wide movement has been started to help
them and to. save them from certain
death by starvation. 1t is for this reason
that the Polish Citizens club of Omaha
decided to make an appeal 10 the kind
public OF our city to obtain help for those
unfortunate victims OF war in Poland
With the permission Of the honorable
mayor, Mr.. James DahlmRn, a number
OF young ladies will solicit offerings from
the public Saturday. March q. and it is
hoped that these young ladies win not
extend their hands in vain 10 our fellow
citizens in behalf Of a down-trodden and
most unfortunate nation of Europe
Kind friends, help to alleviate the sut-
ferings of Poland

Overlords And Underlords

In his testimony before the federal
commission on industrial relations
recently, John d. Rockefeller, jr.,
again expressed the opinion that it
would be highly improper for owners
and boards of directors to interfere
with executive officers In their rela-
lions with labor. Since most strikes
and lockouts, result from the appli-
cation In one form or another Of this
view, we believe that Mr.. Rockefeller
on fuller consideration and with
wider knowledge will see his error.
Boards Of directors controlling our
big corporations rarely hesitate to
interfere in other matters, some of
them much less important. They
dominate their financial agents, fire.
quently bankers of great dignity and
power. They instruct their lawyers,
regardless of learning and experience.
They attempt to exercise as much
authority in politics and legislation
as in transportation or markets. 1t is
only when labor is involved that
they are inclined to depend alto
gether upon hired men who are abb
solute in their sphere.
Overseers of labor on a large scale
are not always fit for such RESPONSE
bilities. When they chance to be ty-
rannies by nature and when their
own compensation may be governed
by the exactions that they inflict
upon their subordinates, they may
easily be source Of danger not only
to stock holders and directors but to
the senate.
II on the appearance of trouble in
the Colorado mining district Mr..
Rockefeller and few Of his asso-
ciates had taken as much interest in
labor as they certainly would have
shown In the finances Of their corpo-
ration on the appearance Of anything
disquieting in that connection. we
do not believe that the controversy
would have been carried to the verge
Of civil war. Labor unrecognized is
likely to become defiant, and labor
cowed and hopeless is the poorest in
vestment that rich man ever made.

smoke anything less than ten-cent
cigars, and Average Bill absolutely
