FROM JUNGLE TO CONGRESS
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
SENATE AND HOUSE HAVE FORMER
WILD MEN AS MEMBERS.
Former Premier of the Sultan of Zulu
Is a Leader in Upper Branch, and
Igorote Sits in Lower House

The new Philippine congress convened
under the Philippine bill which was
signed by President Wilson August 20,
met a few weeks ago and, for the first
time in the islands, a full -blooded Moro
took his seat in the upper house. The
Moro senator is Hadji Butu, for many
years prime minister of the Sultan OF
Zulu.
The other full-blooded Moros tool;
their seats in the lower house side by
side with two delegates from the wild
tribes-one an Igorot and the other an
Ifugao.
Hadji Butu, who becomes a member
of the senate by appointment of Gov
ernor General Harrison, is looked on as
one of the strongest men among the
Moros In the last few years he has
played leading role in the transforma,
ton of the island of Zulu from a region
of murder and pillage to one of progress
and industry.
Datau or Headman Piang. one of
Butu's fellow tribesmen in the lower
house, was famous in the days of the
American occupation of Mindanao. Datau
Piang took to the mountains in the
days of Spanish rule and transferred his
hostility to the Americans on their ar
rival. At last he became persuaded that
the Americans stood for justice and hu-
manity and laid down his arms.
Altogether nine provinces, hitherto re-
garded as too close to savagery to have
governmental representatives., hav c
spokesmen in the new congress. Among
these nine is the Province of Luzon, the
home of the so-called wild people.
Twenty of the twenty-five members
of the senate belonged to the Nationalist
party. This party was organized on a
platform of immediate independence for
the island, but later gave its support to
the Philippine bill under which the pres
ent government has been organized.

HARRINGTON EXONERATED
BY MINERS DELEGATES
TRIAL IN PEORIA LASTED SEVEN
DAYS HEARING EVIDENCE.
Vote to Acquit Illinois State President
of Misconduct Was 459 to 26s;
Walker Pleads for Accused.

After seven days of long drawn out
sessions the delegates to the special con
vention OF the Illinois District Miner.
Union, held in Peoria, exonerated Presi-
dent Frank Harrington by a vote of 45g
for and 265 against eXoneration. The
verdict was reached about six o'clock
Friday afternoon after one of the most
strenuous trials ever conducted by a
labor body.
Charging that President Harrington
had violated the laws of the organization
in sending out an official letter indors
ing a candidate for governor in the pri-
mary election, 4,7S3 members of the
United Mine Workers of Illinois signed a
petition for special convention to try
President Harrington.
By unanimous choice of the delegates,
George L. Mercer of Canton, was select
ed as permanent chairman of the con.
yention. Mercer was exceptionally fail
to both sides in his rulings and at the
close of the convention was given Il
rising vote of thanks.
For the first six days of the conven.
tion evidence was submitted by both
sides and was as readily rebutted. Cross
Questioning was popular from the frs,
day and it was only when John Fl, Wal
ker took the floor that a decision was
reached. Walker spoke for nearly an
hour and pointed out the real necessity
OF defeating candidates who were unfa-
vorable to organized labor He stated
that in his judgment, harrington had not
exceeded his authority and that had he
tWalker) been in the same position he
would have went further in the matter.
1t was evident that the delegates were
waiting for Delegate Walker to take a
position on the matter and when he did
take the 1loor there was no question as
to how the vote would go.
harrington, addressing the convention
after the vote. said:
u knew that yois would act in fairness
and with justice. I do not hold any
enmity against any of those who were
against me. / thank you all for what
you did and as long as I continue to re.
main your president I will be faithful
to the trusts which fall to the shoulders
of your president.

its effectiveness in accomplishing the
purpose for which it was inaup1Irated.
If strike results in tangible benefits,
those benefits are definitely formulated
in the agreement by which the contest
ends and industrial peace is restored
These industrial contracts between
workers and employers are the mile
stones of industrial progress They
clinch each forward movement in a tan.
giblc form and become a new basis for
future demands and movements for
greater progress.
An economic movement to be success
ful must be under the control of direct
ors who understand the technique of the
labor movement and who know the eff
fectiveness of every move. 1t is very
dangerous thing in time of strike to
advise strikers to raise hell" If that
leader does not know what to do with
the help after the strikers have raised
it, he has embroiled those workers in n
very dangerous conditions condition
that may endanger the whole movement.
Efforts to put "the fear of God" into
the hearts of those who have no regard
for human rights may have a place in
the movement for human progress, but
how, what, and by whom? There's the
rub.
The hope of the workers lies in defin-
ite, persistent, intelligent and construc-
tive action along lines that lead to def
mite, beneficial results to the workers
to the masses of the people-hence, to
the glory and perpetuation of our great
republic.

Hold Yourselves Well in Hand
SAMUEL GOMPERS in American Federationist

All the predatory forces that menace
the welfare of wage earners do not
come from employers. There exists
among the workers and in the labor
movement an element which is either
misguided or is so depraved that it is
willing to lead workers into unneces-
sary suffering and useless misery.
There are both extremes in this ele
ment It's highest fringe contains the
irreconcilable impossibilists who think
that nothing but revolution and destruc-
ton can right the wrongs of workers.
Its lowest depths are those who are
in the pay of corporate and employers
morasses of ill-advised action and thus
fritter away their opportunities to make
real progress.
There are those who go among the
workers, whose present wrongs are great
enough to appeal to the compassion OF
any human being, and lead these workers
into strikes and then urge them to en-
ploy the methods of revolution, to re-
fuse to enter into agreements with en-
ployers, or to accept any improvements
because the full rights to which they
are entitled are not granted at once.
Wage earners have right to inaugu-
rate a revolution if they think such ac-
tion is justified, but no leaders have
right to invoke workers in revolutions
under guise of strike. A strike is some
thing very different from revolution.
A strike is for the purpose of gaining
some definite concrete improvement in
working conditions. The strike move
ment succeeds or fails in proportion to

Mexican border has been reported by
General Funston that the War Depart

some of the troops stationed in Texas
to strengthen the ever-lengthening
lines of communication of the expedi-
ton seeking Villa. Many alarming
runors have been disposed of and the
border situation generally is said to be
Quieter than heretofore, but the plan
is not to disturb the garrisons or

Rumors Refuted.
Evidence continued to accumulate
to refute rumors of an impending with

Soon after it became known that addi-

nounced the purchase of six large tank
motor-trucks to replace similar ma
chimes rented to carry gasoline for
General Pershing's supply motors and
aeroplanes.
State Department dispatches indi-
cate that the Carranza authorities are
viewing with some anxiety the con-
tinued presence of American troops in
Mexico and are inclined to believe that
the object of the expedition has been
accomplished in the dispersal of Villas

stated, however, that there has been
no suggestion from the de facto gov

which the American troops should not
go or as to date on which they should
