WAR FOR FREEDOM AND JUSTICE

utter these thinly disguised disloyal-
ties.
"The facts are patent to all the
world, and nowhere are they more
plainly seen than in the United States,
where we are accustomed to deal with
facts and not with sophistries; and
the real fact that stands out above all
the rest is that this is a peoples war,
war for freedom and justice and self
government among all the nations of
the world, war to make the world
safe for the peoples who live upon it
and have made it their own, the Ger
man people themselves included; and
that with US rests the choice to break
thru all these hypocrisies and patent
cheats and masks of brute force and
help set the world free, or else stand
aside and let it be dominated long
age thru by sheer weight of arms and
the arbitrary choices of self-consti-
tuted masters, by the nation which can
maintain the biggest armies and the
most irresistible armaments."

forced labor is the dislike of the big
business crowd for the department of
labor. 1t is always encroaching upon
their ancient privileges of exploiting
labor, and it is always proving to the
public that the workers should get bet
ter conditions, in some industry or
group of industries. Hence the un-
willingness in big business quarters to
concede that any method proposed by
the department would do.
Raise Postoffice Employees.
Thomas F. Flaherty, national secre-
tary-treasurer of the Federation of
Postoffice Employees, went before the
executive council this week with
plea that Mr.. Gompers and other mem
bers should accompany a delegation to
take up personally with President
Wilson the need of the postal employees
for a raise in pay. President Hyatt of
his organization seconded his appeal,
to which no reply has yet been made.
Flaherty showed that there has been
virtually no raise in pay in the serv-
ice in ten years, and that now, under
the operation of the military draft, ac-
tual dilution of labor in their field is
men who have drawn 81 100 and 81 200
a year are taken out for military duty,
and inexperienced men of drafting
age, getting only $500 year as be-
ginners, are put in their places.
He read to the council that part of
President Wilson's letter to the recent
Minneapolis conference of the Alliance
for Labor and Democracy, in which the
president stated that his administra-
tion had granted to labor everything
that it considered just, when labor had
made demands.
Flaherty Getting Busy.
A year ago, when the president had
endorsed the eight-hour demand of the
railroad brotherhoods, Flaherty was
assailed by Postmaster General Burle-
son as "a disgruntled employe play
ing politics." when he sent an open
letter to the president, asking an eight
hour day for postal employees. Today
he may possibly be charged with hav-
ing taken German money.
Since this hearing, the postmaster
general has announced a record sur
plus, SO 100000 for the last fiscal year.
Flaherty remarks that this suplus is
merely sweated out of the underpaid
employees 900 of them-who have
long since discovered that it is hope
less to expect generous wage treat
ment from their chief.

Denver mint will devote the whole
month of November to making Lin
coin pennies. This output of one-cent
coins, if piled one upon the other,
would make a stack a mile and one
half high. The new war taxes just 60
ing into effect have caused the unpre-
cedented demand for the smallest Of
American coins. The tax on tobaccos
and cigarettes has brought the penny
where it never before was recognized,
except in few stores. Tobacco and
cigarettes that formerly sold for
nickel or dime now are cents or
IL cents, and so on. The tax on mo-
tion-picture patrons is having an
amazing effect on the usefulness of
the penny. Curtis street motion-pic-
ture show magnates alone claim they
will need 100000 pennies to transact
their business on Sunday. Working
"the clock around" the Denver mint
can coin 100000 pennies in each twen-
ty-four hours. That will make total
for November of about 15,000,000. The
Philadelphia mint last month contrib
uted 100000 to the nations supply.

NOLORADO'S state constabulary is

working harness, or uniforms, to be
more exact. Chief Frank Adams says
he has enlisted 200 men for Cossack
duty, provided for by an act during
special session of the legislature dur
ing the summer, when uniforms and
khaki ulsters were not thought OF. 1t
is said that months and months may
pass along in regular order before
these said uniforms can be obtained.
All manufacturers are busy filling or
ders for Uncle Sans regular soldiers,
and can't give attention to the Colo
RADIO Cossacks. However other equip
ment is being purchased from the ap-
preparation generously set aside by
the legislature for this purpose. This
week Chief Adams paid Denver firm
SO .096S0 for 200 revolvers and 200
carbines, old stock on hand. Regula-
ton Springfield rifles, which were de-
sired for the Cossacks, could not be
procured, because the Springfield fac
tory is busy with war orders. In the
meantime the state constabulary re-
mains on the waiting list.
