Outsiders Kick
FOREIGN INTERESTS OPPOSE
SEAMEN'S LAW

New York.-Foreign shipping in
terests are the most vigorous oppo-
nents of the seamen's law, declared
Silas Blake Axtell, attorney for the
international Seamens union, in a
reply to the claim of Capt. Robert
Dollar that certain sections of this
law must be repealed.
eve want to bring about govern
ment shipping office" said the attor-
ney, $50 that there will be an end to
the 'crimping' or clearinghouse sys-
tenn by which seamen are hired and
through which shipping masters are
compelled to pay from SIS to 500 a
man. These 'crimping' places have got
control to large extent, of the plac-
ing of seamen on foreign ships.
ut may be stated here" continued
Mr.. Axtell, "that Capt. Dollar has
several ships in registry at British
Columbia under the Union Jack. And
let me add that foreign shipping in
terests are the most vigorous oppo-
nents of the act, which has humani-
tartan principles affecting passengers
as we'll as seamen. Even now there
IS pending in the United States su-
preme court an action filed by the Bri-
tish embassy to test the constitution
ality of the act. Americans will not
go to sea at wages inferior to shore
wages and under conditions of less
liberty and greater hardships than at
shore jobs.
"Since the beginning of time, orig
mating when all trade was in sail, the
system on foreign vessels has been to
hold the seaman bound to his ship by
legal and economic bonds. He was
compelled to sign an agreement to
stay with ship a number of years.
The arrangement provides he shall
have no shore liberty and no money
during round trip except at the op-
tion of the master. He is subject to
all sorts of fines and penalties.
"The seamen's act does much to
give liberty and a few rights. 1t
makes it possible for an American to
go to sea-"

than the people themselves, consisting
of money and various and powerful
interests confined into one mass and
held together by the cohesive power
of the vast surplus in the banks"
History will verify that this is
pernicious and ruinous power, as in
all nations in which wealth has been
paramount to democracy, desolation
has been the final result.
Government ownership is the only
faculty that can be constructed by
the people that will maintain a more
adequate distribution of the nations
wealth and democracy, and unless the
people be given an opportunity to
express their opinions on this SUBJ
ject by their vote, democracy is a
failure.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
By John Bush

Government ownership is a theme
on which much comment is being
made, both by the people who in the
last few months have been so greatly
benefited and by those who fear their
unjust methods of profiteering will
be cut off and their disloyalty proven" +"
$50 full Of artless jealousy is quilt
at spills itself in fearing to be split" 4"
From the arguments being put be-
fore the people by the capitalists and
their paid agents against government
ownership they are continually dis
closing the truth Of the above phrase.
The fact that it was absolutely ne
cessary for the government to take
over and operate the railroads, and
many other industries, in order to
bring about that unity of action that
made it possible fo rthe U. S. to bring
the world war to a successful con-
clusion, is certainly evidence of lack
of efficiency or loyalty on the part of
private enterprise. The success at
tained by government control is be-
yond question, on outstanding evil
dence of the fallacy of the claims that

TO AID SOLDIERS
Permanent Employment Office at the
Columbus Barracks

Columbus, O.-Establishment of a
permanent employment office at the
Columbus barracks to assist the dis
charged soldiers in finding work, was
announced by the United States En-
ployment Service today, following the
orders from Washington that the local
barracks wer to be used as one of the
principal rehabilitation points in
Ohio.
One thousand and fifteen soldiers
who were quartered at the barracks
pending distribution to training camps
have been discharged during the past
two weeks. Of this number more than
200 have been handled by the tempo
rary employment office there under
the direction of D. P. Rodgers. Most
Of these men were from outside of
Ohio-from as far as Utah. The ma
jority however, were from adjoining
states.
Ohio soldiers scattered through the
various training camps of the country
will also benefit in the matter of op-
portunities for finding jobs, as a re-
suit of the operation Of the army plan
to move these soldiers to Camp Sher-
man for rehabilitation.
AS they are discharged at the Ohio
camp they will have before them full
information as to available work in
their home communities, whereas
such detailed information was not
available for them at distant camps.

POSTAL CHIEF HOLDS FAST

In his annual report to Congress
PostmasterGeneral Burleson reaffrms
his opposition to unions in the postal
service as expressed in his report last
year.
The Postmaster says:
"The views of this department on
organizations of postal employees were
fully set forth in the last annual re-
port of the Postmaster-General. Moth
ing has transpired during the past
year to change the views"
Last years views, which the Post
master-General indorses, are:
"The conduct of these organiza-
tions at this time is incompatible with
the principles of civil service and with
good administration of the postal
service. They are fast becoming a
menace to public welfare and should
no longer be tolerated or condoned.
1t is earnestly recommended that the
provision in the act of August "a,
1912 (giving employees the right to
petition Congress and to affiliate with
the A. F. of L.), be repealed"
Regarding this attitude of the Post
master-General, Secretary-Treasurer
Flaherty, of the National Federation
of Postal Employees, said:
"The Postmaster-General is the
one prominent man in public and
private life who has refused to change
his opinion during the past year. No
other citizen can be found that will
say that the unions of government
employees are a menace; but like the
boy in our schoolbooks, who stood on
the burning deck, the postal chief
stands alone"

Line Mems Wages Raised

Spokane, Wash.-The national war
labor board has raised wages of
electrical workers employed by the
Intermountain Power company. Rates
are advanced to $6 day. This is an
increase of 25 cents over the COM
pany's offer. The eight-hour day is
established with the stipulation that
men go to and from their work on
their own time, if this does not re-
quire over one-half hour a day. One
hour is allowed for dinner, but the
time travelling to and from dinner
shall be on the company's time. All
overtime shall be time and one-half,
with double time for Sundays and
holidays.

MANY MEN RELEASED
War Contract Cancellations Cause
Many to Lose Jobs

Columbus, ON spite of the rapid
rehabilitation of Ohio industries and
of the soldiers in service, which is
continuing to pour a stream of men
back into normal life, the labor situa-
tion in Ohio is generally satisfactory.
This does not mean, however, that
there is great surplus of jobs.
Cancellation of war contracts in
Cleveland loosed several thousand
workers because a large number of
the plants had been engaged entirely
on war work and were unable to pro-
ceed with peace-time work without
contracts. This was the outstanding
exception and efforts were at once
made to have these cancellations
slowed up bit in order to eliminate
any danger of widespread unemploy-
ment in that city.
Up to this time, rehabilitation of
war plants have been handled without
delay or confusion through the efforts
of the employment service. The big
majority of these released workers
were absorbed locally, thereby elm
mating the necessity of transferring
them to other points where there were
demands for help. Releases of this
kind reached as high as 1000 in a
single day in one or more Ohio cities.
Hundreds of contracts involving many
thousands of workers, already have
been cancelled.

OPPOSE U. s. OWNERSHIP

Atlantic City, N. AT a recon-
struction conference of business men,
called by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, government
ownership of railroads, telegraphs,
telephones and cables were opposed.
The business men, however, urged
congress to pass Legislation that would
permit the elimination of wasteful
competition, pooling of equipment,
joint operation of terminals "and such
other practices as will tend to econ
omise without destroying competition
in service"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-12-27

government enterprise tends con-
stantly to ineffciency.
The manner in which the great
mass of American work people threw
their energy into the war work, as
requested by their representatives of
the government, under government
control, was so miraculous that the
world was amazed by the results at
tanned.
Those who claim that advocaters
of government ownership are enemies
of liberty are themselves disloyal, for
our Uncle Sam has proven himself to
be the best employer in all the world;
and as the majority of the people
are employees it suffces to say the
majority are benefited, and what is
good for the majority is good for the
nation.
Lord Byron said:
History with all her volumes vast
Hath but one page"
The truthfulness of this quotation
is made obvious when we compare the
conditions of the present day with
those defined by John C. Calhoun in
1886, when in a speech he, among
other things, said: "a power has
risen up in the government. greater
