the dominating note Of broad policy
into the new establishment; the
paper will be Of the upright and
downright sort that Mr.. Munssy al
ways conducts. On this point, in hi
announcement through the Press
Mr.. Munsey says:
Under its new name the Press will
have all the merits OF the past.
There will be no change. In Its poll
tics, and no change In It's strafght-
forward expression, in its serious
ness and downright honesty Of ut
terance. For many years the Press
has been the foremost advocate Of
protection for American industries,
which means protection for Ameri-
can labor against the cheap labor
abroad. Under It's new name II will
wage the battle against Democratic
free trade as powerfully a. II ever
has done. and 4 will continue It's OPP
position to Wilson and the Wilson
Administration with the same vigor
with which Il has hitherto led the
night among New York newspapers.

all from the South, A comfortable
majority Of the House are pledged
to the bill.
After many delays and postpone
ments, the bill was brought up on
Friday afternoon, and considered
about an hour. The discussion de-
veloped evidence Of general favor for
It, and it is merely a question
whether It shall be given the chance
for its life. Its present parliament
tary status Is not altogether reassur-
ing, however.
The measure Is now entitled to
first consideration on the next calen-
dar Wednesday. But will there be
another calendar Wednesday this
session? Rumor has said that quite
likely there would not. The easy
and simple way to kill the bill would
be to jockey calendar. Wednesdays
out Of the Legislative program for
the rest Of the session; and that very
thing has been accomplished 50 many
times, that in the present case eter-
nal vigilance will be necessary to
prevent one more fiuke killing a bill
that very few would dare directly to
oppose.
It will not do to make this bill one
Of the next week" and next
month" and next session" sort.
There are too many people watch
ing just this kind Of manipulations.
Election is too handy. Reactionary
gentlemen may plot and scheme to
job the measure past adjournment
without action; but If they do, their
records will be exposed at the most
embarrassing time. ...
The Government employees are fast
coming to realize that they are about
the least favored, the most easily
forgotten, the worst paid, the last
considered constituents Of Congress.
They are getting tired Of it. They
are ripe for revolt that will hit a
lot of politicians hard.
This bill must pass, and at this
session, or the cabal that is holding
it back will be responsible for lot
Of political disasters, much more
serious to the victims than to any
body else.

PASS THE M'dILLIcUDDY BILL

In 1912 the Democratic and Re-
publican platforms contained pledges
to pass legislation providing for ade-
quate compensation to Federal en-
ployes injured in the course Of EN-
ployment. Under present laws var
ious methods Of compensation apply
to about one-third Of the employees.
There are about 100000 civilian
employees Of the Government. About
100000 have some recourse under
present laws; 100000 are dependent
on the charity and amiability of
Congress. If they are killed or in
jured, indemnity can be secured only
through passage of special legisla-
ton.
With both parties pledged Ia
measures that would end this dis.
grace, the McGillicuddy bill was in.
troduced in 1918. 1t was reported
and nothing more happened.
In the present Congress 1t was in
troduced anew, hearings were had
and on May II it was reported by

nistic and reserved the right to vots

MR.. MUNSEY BUYS THE NEW
YORK SUN

Mr.. Frank A. Munsey has bought
the New York Sun and the Evening
Sun, and that, beginning Monday,
July 3, the Sun and the New York
Press, which Mr.. Munsey has for
several years owned, will be con-
solidated under the name Of the Sun.
The name of the Press will also be
carried prominently for tina
This merger is the most important
development Of many years In metro
politan journalism. The Sun andsthe
Press each occupied peculiarly indi-
vidual places in the newspaper
world. Each has built a character,
quality, and individuality all its own.
The amalgamated paper, according
to the announcement. will represent
the best elements from both contrib
uting organizations.
When Mr.. Munsey bought the
Press four years ago, it had a circu-
lation Of 10000. That has increased
since to $4,000 on week days and
143, 900 on Sunday. The Evening
Sun, one Of the model evening papers
of the country, has a circulation OF
2o0O 900. The consolidation OF the
| prestige, circulation, and news-gath-
ering facilities Of the Press and Sun
will make instantly the most COM
plete newspaper establishment in the
country.
This is literally true, because the
Sun has not heretofore possessed ar
Associated Press franchise. This, ir
the morning field. is highly impor'
tant. In lieu Of it, the Sun has
through many years Of painstakine
and highly intelligent effort, built ny
a news service of it's own which, Gov
ering the news Of this country ane
of the outside world, has been indi
yidual, complete, and of the fines
quality. 1t involved huge expense
however, as compared to that o.
membership in a great press associa
ton, gathering news comparatively
The new Sun will have both TIT

ISOLATED Press dispatches. 1t ma!
be doubted If there is anywhere sucl
a combination of news-getting facili
ties as Mr.. Munsey has thus will
rare vision and appreciation put to
eether. The new Sun will have tn
completeness of the more standard
lied papers that depend on pres
association news, and will supple
ment it with the individuality Of tn
special service that has been chic
characteristic of that paper.
Along with this monumental organ
ization will go the ideals and spiri
of Press and Sun, both of which hav
been additionally animated by tn
purpose of getting the news, gettin
. it all, and making the most under
! standing and attractive presentatio
{ of it. To say that the new Sun, wit
such facilities and such spirit, an

quality inherited from the days q
