FOES OF SEAMAN'S LAW
SILENCE TIN RATTLES

New York.-The anti-seamen's law
bubble has bursted and the tin pan cam
pagn conducted by eastern opponents
of this legislation has ended, if the New
York World correctly interprets current
thought In satirical editorial, that
paper says:
When the Southern Pacific sold its
holdings in the Pacific Mail last August
and withdrew from the transPacitic
trade, it gave as its reason the impossi-
bility of operating under the new sea-
mems act. 1t managed to time its change
of policy in such a way as to get big
price for its steamships and to furnish
a sensational climax to a campaign en-
gineered to influence the action of con-
gress. The whole country was loudly
called on to witness the dying agonies
of the American merchant marine and
the final disappearance of the American
flag from the Pacific
THE seamen's act is still in force.
Evidently the efforts of the Southern
Pacific to convince the public that the
Pacific would be forever closed to Amer
can steamships have miscarried. The
Pacific Mail Steamship Company has
stepped into the place vacated by the
Southern Pacific and announced that it
will re-establish the service between San
Francisco and the Orient. 1t refuses to
be warned by the awful dangers that
filled the old Southern Pacific line with
panic and is wickedly occupied with
plans to gather in profits in neglected
field.
1--WE have decided says General
Manager ]. H. Rosseter, that there is
an opportunity for the restoration of
American shipping at this time. If we
find that we can compete with the
cheaper-manned steamers of the Japa-
nese line, we shall eventually have big
fleet operating.
1T is regrettable that any American
shipping concern should raise doubts
about the Southern Pacitic's business
judgment or the sincerity of the reasons
assigned for the sale of its fleet. But
the prospects of making money in the
trans Pacific trade are too good to be re-
sisted by men who do not mix politics
with the shipping business"

WORK FOR EVERYBODY
Says Service Director, Commenting
on Success of Bond Election.

There will be plenty of employment
in Cincinnati for many months to come"
said Service Director Hornberger the
day after the election, in commenting
upon the success of the several bond
issues.
Every effort will be made, according
to Mr.. Hornberger, to hasten the pre-
liminary legislation and other details, so
that actual street construction work
may begin by July at least. The re-
building and extension of the streets
will take at least a year, and by that
time, city officials say, everything will
be ready to begin work on the construc-
ton of the rapid transit loop.
THE LABOR ADVOCATE believes that
Hornberger will see that union labor is
used on the work as far as his position
will let him.
Hornberger has always been more
than fair with organized labor and now
that he has an opportunity to help them
he no doubt will take advantage of it.

INDUSTRIAL PUBLICITY
Favored BY Senate-WOrk of Com
mission Is Ordered Printed.

Was1ington.-By a yea and nay vote
the Senate last Monday, ordered 1000
copies of the report and 10000 copies of
the testimony taken by the recent COM
mission on industrial relations.
The resolution now goes to the House
for concurrence, as the resolution pass
ed by that body provided that the re-
port alone be printed
Before the final vote in the Senate,
Senator Hoke Smith, who had previous
ly blocked consideration of the resolu-
ton, notified his colleagues that 81 will
deavor to prevent the Senate voting on
it" The Georgia lawmaker insisted that
the expenditure of 100000 to print the
testimony was a waste of money and
that the printed volumes would be
speedily thrown out as junk after be-
ing received
Several senators differed with this
statement and declared that not only
workers, but libraries and universities,
have asked for copies of the testimony,
which was secured at cost of nearly
half million dollars.
There was no opposition to printing
the report of the commission. This con-
sists of final recommendations by the
various groups of the commission. The
testimony of witnesses who appeared be-
for the commission, however, tells its
own story. 1t lays bare mining condi-
tions in Colorado; of the southern ten
ant farmer and cotton mill worker; of
the textile operative in the East and
South; of the migratory worker in the
West and in graphic manner shows
present-day industrial conditions in
every section of the country
This feature of the commissions work
is evidently distasteful to the element
that fears publicity, and which has rails
ed the cry of economy" in an effort to
suppress the first attempt of the govern
ment to secure information relative to
our economic life.
A majority of the senator's, however,
did not believe this information should
be buried after spending such vast
sum to secure it and they ordered the
report printed. 1t is estimated that the
testimony will comprise about a dozen
volumes of 800 pages each and the re-
port will consist of one volume of the
same number of pages. 1t is intended
that each senator and congressman be
allotted a number of both documents for
public distribution and the superinten-
dent of documents will be authorized
to print additional copies, according to
the law governing the sale of public
documents.

THE PRICE OF MILK.

Chicago.-Nilk companies in this city
announce they will not raise the price
Of milk as the result of farmers strike
which forced the companies to pay them
higher prices.
The Chicago Journal intimates that
popular opinion would not sustain the
companies il they raised prices. This
paper says: The companies can buy
milk for 1923 cents per quart-which is
what producers ask-sell it for cents a
quart and still make money. If they
cant, the milk distributing business Of
this city is sadly in need of an efficiency
expert.

BOOKBINDERS REUNITED.

Toronto, Ontario Members of So
called national bookbinders' union have
joined the bona tlde organization, affiliat-
ed to the American Federation OF Labor.
A division has existed for nearly 10
years, but these workers have agreed
that the theory of dividing workers in
the United States and Canada into two
national camps is wrong. Prominent
trade unionists in this city, including A.
+. OF l.. Organizer Flett, assisted in
smoothing out all differences.
