SOME CRASHING OF TEETH.

Adamson Bill. And surely never be- fore has there been such a hopeless and helpless manifestation of rage as we have delightedly witnessed.
 The Manufacturers Record de- scribes the Adamson Bill as "the rape of the Nations Honor. It de- clares that the brotherhoods have soWed in the hearts of American people hatred of labor Unions Manufacturers usually regard them selves as the American People. The Augusta Chronicle is equally irate It declares that nothing more revolutionary has been done in any country since the French revolution -'and we have much the same sort of history in America this past week as heralded the Reign of Terror" that preceded the French Republic. The editor gets mixed in his histor- ical facts under his mental excite ment. In his final howl the editor declares that this great republic of ours is drifting on the rocks. The Baltimore Sun rageS in more dig nifed manner that the brotherhoods at the point of the strikebayonet obtained this legislation. The Sun has not a word to say about the workers who are compelled to give up their labor power at the point of the hunger -bayonet, an equally potent weapon by the way in the hands of the exploiters. The New pert News Daily Press poetically asks "Is peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of Liberty?' The Macon, Georgia, Daily Telegraph may not know much about anarchsm. but it is free to describe the Adamson bill +'aa a freak and anarchistic meas are, and it gloomily repines that tits final disposition will mark the choice of the forks in America and eventually for all the world, one way or another. Isn't that clear enough? The Greensboro Daily News is another southern gentleman that gets hot under the collar by reason of the eight hour bill and says that Wilson before signing it should have cried God help the Republic. One reads with interest that this editor ~once more feels itself undone''. The St. Louis Globe Democrat de- scribed it as "the most pusillanim- ous act ill the history of the Amer ican Congress-, but as most of its readers don't know what pusillanim- ity means anyhow, that's not so bad. This paper deplores that the govern ment showed the White Flag to labor without any resistance. It would be all right, it is inferred, if government shows the White Flag to capital. The Richmond Evening Journal laments that it was a pitt full surrender, and the most inexcus- able breach of trust that the coun- try has witnessed in several genera tions. Apparently the Journal con- cludes that the congressman hold government in trust for the rail- roads. The Staunton Daily Leader says pity the poor railroads! Rail- roads are already earning too little to pay interest on upon investment. The Leader quite evidently ignores the collosal earnings increase that has accrued the railroads within the past two years. The Tampa Morn ing Tribune signs for the good old Cleveland days when that lamented president settled the railroad strike with military bayonets. As we get further South the lamentations grow all the keener. Thus the Jack sonville Times-Union says this dis graceful act is unparalleled in Ann .erican history.
 The Greenville News still has hopes, like many more of it's rail- road friends, that the Courts will nullify this intolerable legislation. The Chattanooga Times says in a 'sackcloth-and-ashes tone of voice that 'the humiliation is complete. The Memphis Commercial Appeal is not so sure of the Courts, and asks in alarm If the Brotherhoods will attempt to rape the judiciary Apparently if the brotherhoods were black individual, the Commercial Appeal would have the torch and the kindling ready for them. The Houston Daily Post in doleful ar- ticle takes philOsophic consolation in the thought that "it now remains for the future to reveal the conse- .nuancas,, plea sing radectiani
