THE POWER MERGER

The great electrical combination in
southern Idaho is on--and is being
urged by both daily papers of Boise,
with the evident intention of push
ing the matter through the public
sutilities commission, without any but
a one-sided investigation.
And yet, every resident of South
ern Idaho knows that some of the
companies that are to go into the
merger have suffered every form of
stock manipulation known to the
most frenzied finance, and that, of
necessity general merger will carry
enough water in its stock to float
a battleship, and that this overcapi-
talization will place never ending
burden Upon the community.
II is refreshing to notice that c.
L. Tailmage, a New York financier,
who has undertaken to finance the
Black Canyon project desires to be
heard before the merger receives the
endorsement of the public utilities
commission and has wired the COM
mission facts that have come under
his observation. Mr.. Tallmage is not
backward in his statements and
charges that he had no notice of the
hearing upon the proposed merger,
and that he is large investor in
projects for water power develop
ment and desires to be heard and
promises to present evidence to prove
the merger operating in opposition to
law; that criminal methods have been
used to get control of independent
power companies; that competition
has been stihed and a conspiracy con-
Quoted to control available power
sites; that millions of dollars of Sc
curity values held by small investors
all over the country have been de-
stroyed, and that facts should be
brought out at the hearing that will
enable investors generally to recover
from principal parties responsible
for such footing.
Mr.. Tallmage certainly presents a
strong indictment and should be
heard upon this most important mat
ter.

STRUGGLE FOR LEE

The economic crisis is sweeping
over the country. The unemployed
problem is shaking the industrial sys-
tenn to its foundation, meantime poor
workers are struggling for life.
While this struggle IS going on, the
capitalistic class is Investigating the
causes of the industrial unrest. and
the government has appropriated
thousands of dollars to count up the
unemployed.
The investigation goes on; the
workers are starving and dying. Gov
eminent has done nothing to relieve
unemployment with any kind of pub
lie work. Governments have always
money for militarism no matter if it
runs into billions. This does not re-
lieve the unemployed. To live in hope
for better conditions is the only rem
edy promised to the people.
This problem can't be solved on a
promise, but some radical reform must
be introduced to give all the people
equal opportunity to live. A great
many promises are given to the people
before an election bv the politician.
but after election all promises are for
gotten. All the mistreatment per-
petrated has very little bearing on
the people, according to the election
results. Many good laws could be
forced upon government through
the united political action of the
working class. This struggle is a po-
litical one, but mainly industrial.
Strong union movement, organized
on the industrial plan, will bring
about best results TO establish social
justice. Organized labor is advancing
slowly but surely to better the con-
ditions of the workers. The hours of
labor are shorter and must be still
shorter, until our society readjusts
itself and every worker receives his
just share of the product OF their
labor. The unemployed question will
disappear when production OF wealth
is properly distributed to those that
produce the wealth. By harmonious
cooperation of all the workers a great
reform can be established for the
benefit of all.
There is no -ower On earth that can
prevent the final success of labor.

THE CITY ELECTION

The city election passed off quiet
1y and with very little interest mani
tested, as it was regarded as fore
gone conclusion that Messrs. Her
rington and Davis would be re-elect-
ed.
Mr.. Harrington had such a strong
lead in the primaries that the friends
OF each of the other candidates en-
deavored to form combinations with
his forces, and, thus, his name was
linked with that of each of his COM
petitors, thus bringing him under the
wire by large majority. Council
man Davis also proved an easy win
ner. but the friends of both McCon-
mel and Buck fought TO the last ditch.
1t was a good natured contest and
the vote was extremely light, being
300 less than in the primaries of
April 3rds
While there was no special objec-
ton to either Mr.. Mcconnell or Mr..
BUCK among labor organizations. it
vas felt that Harrington and Davis
sad proven their friendship TO labor
81 the past and were entitled to re-
lection, and they received the united
Import of organized labor. which
lone insured their reelection.
There is much work for the new
administration to do, as municipal
ownership Of public utilities looms
large upon the horizon and the time
Is ripe for forward step in this re-
gard.

cHrLp LABOR AND CRIME

There is an old proverb that bears
the burden of an assurance that the
spirit of evil is always on the look
out to get little hands into trouble
when they are not kept busy at some
form of employment but recent in
vestigations prove conclusively that
the proverb referred to has no founda-
ton in fact for It's existence.
Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do can no longer be
accepted as truth, or conveying even
a ha1f-truth, for the investigation just
referred to proves the exact opposite
Besides this, one Of the pet arguments
of the protagonists of child labor
goes the same way as the proverb, for
It can no longer be doubted that the
child forced to work at at too early
an age is more prone to get into mis-
chief than the one who is permitted
to enjoy childhood.
Facts are stubborn things, and the
facts relating to child LABOR most
stubDornly proclaim that every con-
sideration-moral and natural--is op-
posed to child labor and in favor Or
children being permitted to reach pu-
berty under natural conditions. The
argument that child is entitled in
justice to few years in which school
and play are possible has not appeal
ed forcibly to those adults who look
back to childhood in which they were
put to work early and did not suffer
sppreciably from the experience, Be
that as it may, or whether they suffer-
ed or not, the risk is now known to
be too great to send children to work
at too early an age.
Recently the Federal Government
made study of the cases coming. be-
fore juvenile courts in seven cities
within year. 1t was found that work
ing children were responsible for six
ty-two and two-tenths per cent, and
woodworking children for thirty-seven
and eight-tenths per cent of the Of
lenses committed. The working chill
dren were found to be inclined to
the more serious kinds of offenses and
furnished the larger number of those
who relapsed into crime 1t is infer
able, from these figures at least, that
child labor does not in general, avert
or suppress instincts to wrongdoing.
Detailed records of juvenile courts
show that the boy or girl employed
too early loses moral as well as phys
ical strength.

In these days of conservation So
ciety can i'll afford to neglect its chill
dren. When there is presented the al
tentative of having as citizens men
and women fully developed in body
and dwarfed in mind, there should be
no hesitation in making the choice.
The answer to the question Of the leg
islator who asked what was to be-
come of the widow who had children
under the age of fourteen, and no 9TH
er means of support, should be that
the State is ample able to bear the
cost of that family's keep until the
children have completed reasonable
course in schools, and are old enough
to go to work without detriment 10
themselves, and to their country. To
talk of sending children of tender
years to work when mature men are
idle is madness. The child of TODAY
is the father or mother of the citizen
of tomorrow; and whatever of its due
is withheld now will be collected with
compound interest in the future.

LABOR PRESS UPHoLDS ALEX
AMBER

Organized labor has learned much
in the past few years and the labor
press is becoming one of the great
public opinion forming forces of the
nation. The national headquarters
of the Federation of Labor conducts
a press bureau, which gathers labor
news from every section of the union
which is transmitted to the loyal la
Dor press. The Gem Worker avails
itself of this service, which enables
us to present articles dealing with
conditions in the entire field of labor
Our paper is also on the exchange
list of the national headquarters and
is freely used in the collation. of news
relative to labor conditions in Idaho
In this manner, the national head
quarters has been enabled to watch
the battle for a wofkman's compensa-
ton law in Idaho and has gathered
its facts from our columns
Thus the current issue of the press
bulletin of the Federation presents
the facts to the entire press of the
nation and warmly endorses Cover
nor Alexander for his veto of the
measure. In times past. there were
no means of the labor press gathering
its news of a national character. ex-
repting from the daily press, often
prejudiced against and unfair to the
labor cause. Happily this is not the
Ease. today. and organized labor
throughout the entire nation knows
from its own press that Governor
Alexander. of Idaho. is friend of la
Dor and that the tools of special privi-
1ege were thwarted in their efforts to
place an unjust law upon the statute
books under the pretense of answer
ing the just demands of labor.

OPPOSE IS cENrs AM HouR

Columbus, Ohio. Agitation by Col
