A number of Garrett county farmers
have spoken to us about the potato
contest announced in this paper last
week. Some of them will enter the
contest. The offer of the bank to furn-
ish seed is one that every potato grow
er should avail himself of. The best
seed and marketable potato is the Irish
Cobbler and Green Mountain variety, of
these varieties there were but very
few exhibited at the fair last fall. The
Republican would suggest that the
Oakland merchants raise a purse and
duplicate the offer of the Citizens
National bank of Frostbnrg. open to
Garrett and Allegany county farmers
only.

employers Right to Require Employees
TO Leave Union.

The constitutional right of employers
to require employees to renounce their
union affiliations as condition of en-
pioyment was sustained Monday by the
Supreme Court, in decision far reach
ing to organized labor, in which the
Kansas so-called coercion statute was
declared unconstitutional. Associate
Justice Day, joining dissenting opinion
with Justice Hughes and Holmes, de-
clared he believed similar laws in 10
other states and in Porto Rico fell by
the decision.
Under the Kansas statute it was un-
lawful for any individual or corporation
to coerce or influence any person to
enter into an agreement not to Join or
remain a member of labor organiza-
ton as condition of securing or con-
tlnuing employment. The case arose
from the conviction of T. B. Coppage,
a division superintendent Of the Frisco
Railway system, for threatening A. r.
Hedge, switchman. with dismissal if
he did not withdraw from the Switch
mems Union of North America.

imposslbility of doing other than make
the enterprise permanent drain upon
the American taxpayer. Then in an
effort to effectively compete with
foreign shipping it would revise the
navigation laws-after 1t had dealt
a thrust at existing shipping which rep
resents American enterprise, money
and brains. Whatever the view the
shipping people take. this Is the plain
A. B. C. of the situation from the point
of view of the average American citizen
and only a fraction OF the objections to
the pending bill are set forth at that.
Develop American initiative, do not
combat it; give encouragement to
American capital, do not hamper it;
keep out of the track of private Ameri-
can enterprise and avoid doubtful
novelties, this is the word of the people
to the administration. Then let a COM
mission be appointed seriously to con-
slider the subject OF merchant marine in
all its bearings.

to say against the other aspirants for
the Office, but do approve the recogni-
ton given the public press by Mr..
Lewis. We predict in Mr.. Diffenbaugh
that Oakland will have a courteous

that his appointment has given general
satisfaction to the patrons of the

recognition of his service in the past
years to the Democratic party, of
which he was a loyal and persistent

largely in the minority. The press
does not receive the support it deserves

PERNIClOUS SHIPPING BILL.

No more insiduous and pernicious
measure has been before the country
during the past decade than the ship
ping bill that is now fathered as an
administration scheme ostensibly to
supply the nation with a merchant
marine. 1t is pernicious because it will
not provide merchant marine, but
it will create government ownership of
merchant ships; it will not promote the
trade of the country but it will tend to
cripple the trade already existing; it
will not be an American but an IN
American undertaking.
The facts as to the measures pend
ing are simply and readily grasped. In
the first place there are ample ships
now trading with South and Central
American points to care for all the
traffic with this country and to care for
all possible cargoes that might be en-
gendered through trade promoting &C
tiVities. In the next place the United
States already stands second in the
rating of trade with the Latin-Ameri-
can republics instead of being a negli-
gible factor as is often stated. The
trade that this country seeks is the
trade that the countries at war can no
longer handle. 1t should be set forth
in letters so big that even the admins
tration could see them that individual
enterprise can fully and adequately care
for existing and all future traffic, given
one thing. This desideratum is the re-
vision of the navigation laws. At pre-
sent the ships of American registry
labor under handicap of 80 per cent.
greater cost for building over European
ships. American bottoms can never
compete with foreign bottoms upon this
showing Again let it be said that the
wages of the crews of the ships of
foreign registry are very much lower
and the grade of living of the men such
as no American seaman would tolerate.
Yet the government is asked to enter
blindly upon shipping business. 1t is
asked to invest up to forty millions of
dollars-a mere bagateile of such an
undertaking. 1t is proposed to offer
the stock of its corporation up to 40 per
cent. to the public This would leave
the corporation an absolute govern
ment monopoly. The bill says in eff
feet the ships would be operated with
out profit until they had developed
profit-making.i powers and then they
would be sold into private ownership.
Thus investors in the 40 per cent. of
stock have nothing offered them as
return upon their money. In the mean
