such as Samuel Gonipers and other
labor bigots have impressed upon the
people the conviction that certain lead
ers Of unionized labor are enormously
figuring that any old labor union is
bigger than THE Union" Labor un-
ionism should go on and receive the
support Of the public. but 1t cannot do
so If factions Of 1t get bigger than its
boots.
There is one Union that is bigger and
more important than all of them, and
it seems to have been forgotten by the
brotherhoods chiefs who see only the
possible advantage of a critical hour
That is not an American spirit but
the spirit of a traitor and is bound to
be remembered by the masses as well
as the classes.
We are convinced that this attitude
is an intrigue or the part of a few
men and that it will be resented by
the great number Of loyal Americans

Editor kennebec journal:
The lengthy article on the potato sltua-
ton which recently appeared IN your col
umns states some facts and studlously
or inadvertently omits certain others OF
eoual or superior Importance to the worth
of the argument
The economic law of supply and de-
mand ought not under abnormal clrcum-
stances to have that sacredness which
your contributor assigns to 1t. Like the
show-bread which David seized to salts
fy the demands of hunger. The general
rule must or ought to yield to special cir
cumstances in support Of its own va
lidity.
The preposterousness of putting any
rule before and in contradiction OF the
welfare OF, man, for which purpose 1t was
established cannot be successfully de-
Tended.
Man is not caught in a net by his own
prescriptions.
Everybody understands that there is a
shortage of potatoes A worldwide
shortage and everybody also understands
that price manipulators may under this
condition still further shorten for mar
ketable purposes this shortened supply.
up to extortionate price demands.
Economically we are at war and the
exceptional powers inherently possessed
by all governments in a state Of war
should have been assumed here as in
England in protecting the health and life
of the people against eXtortloners who
are taking advantage of war conditions
to put the price of foodstuffs beyond their
reach. The welfare of the people is the
primary and determining consideration
after all and as present conditions show
an abuse of personal liberty to the detri-
ment of the general public so they also
show a default Of government in not
recognizing it.
Potato producers are entitled to fair
price for their product but in compe-
tition between an outrageouSly high price
and the public there Is no reason in
morals or policy why the public should
not intervene an establish fair prices.
The potato was made for man and not
man for the potato. The comparative
prices given by Mr.. Lee, even If correct.
are nothing to the purpose. Only positive
standards can solve the problems which
this and other similar cases present. The
real question put In the classic language
Of the day is--"Where do the people get
off," The public, making full allowance
for their patience under class assertion
Of superior rights, and the slowness of
government to act under democratic
FORMS will not always be content to occu-
py the position of an Indifferent neutra,.
Protection in the widest sense of the
term is the first duty of governments and
the time is not far distant when it will
be exercised, militantly and economically
against traitors at home as well as foes
abroad.
