FIXING UP NEW CHILD
LABOR LAW THAT WILL PASS

Washington, Nov. 21.-An amend
ment to the war revenue bill designed
as substitute for the child labor act
recently declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court, has been intro
duced by Senator Pomerene, of Ohio.
Under the law that was nullifed, in
terstate shipments of products of
child labor were prohibited. The Pom
creme proposal would levy a special
excise tax of 10 per cent on the net
profits derived from the sale of such
products. It was prepared after
numerous conferences between Sena-
tors Pomerene, Lenroot and Kenyon,
who believe it will. overcome the OBJ
jections which caused the former law
to be declared invalid.

Patriotiic" Mr.. Lundberg

The following article is a sample Of
several articles along the same strain
written up a "super-patriot" known
to his neighbors by the name of Fred
Lundberg, who resides two or three
miles east of Plentywood, and appear
ing in several county papers. This
article was published in the Plenty
wood "Pie-Near" Press.
Mr.. Editor: On my way home from
Plentywood last Saturday evening
met Dorman's right hand man, Mr..
E. E. York. AS it was getting dusk,
ne evidently mistook me for mem
Der of the Nonpartisan League. He
stopped his car, the lights from the
car glazing in my face, made his APP
preach and accosted me saying, "my
name is York, and I am out enrolling
the farmers for another two years."
Well thank you I did not enroll and
it did not take Mr.. York long to find
it out. According to rules and regu-
lations of State Advisory Board of
=. S. Employment Service, this en-
rolling business is non-essential, and
should promptly be stopped. Just now
when there is so much sickness
around in the country, so much sor-
row, so much grief, caused by the
Angel Of Death, removing so many
from our midst of our loved ones,
both at home and abroad on the bat
tie field, it seems Mr.. York could en-
ploy his time in more useful pursuits.
In this enrolling Townley propaganda
business, right on the eve of election
and when people have more serious
things to think about they should be
given rest from politics but it seems
as though these enrollers have no re-
spect for death, sickness or law, when
they can start out now at this time
touring the country from house to
house when their help is needed in
charity and other pursuits of life.
One word to those who are encour-
aging these enrollers and who are
anxious to enroll, why do you not en-
roll in the I. w. w. organization in
stead of the Townley faction. You
would thereby save $3.50 and the
"Stick' in one ought to be as good as
the "Stick" in the other faction, as it
is generally conceded that the N. P.

The producers OF the country will
find nothing but loss in such regula-
ton. On the other hand, we never
had greater need Of eliminating mar
ket monopoly and gambling in essen
tials. The producers on the farm
need guarantees that they may safely
try to produce all the food they can
to relieve a starving world. They
need protection against the possible
dumping Of large quantities Of Aus

Government Regulation

With the return Of peace the aaes-
ton as to whether we shall continue
regulation Of markets becomes very
important. Many dangers confront
the producers on the farm and in the
factory which real regulation might
help US over, but the regulation Of
the kind we have had since we en-
tered the war will hardly serve this
purpose.
Regulation that saddles q fixed
price for two years on the farmers,

There is great danger that having
won the war against the German
junkers, we shall lose it at the hands
of our friends-that is our supposed
friends at home and in allied coun-
tries. No believer in democracy In
America can kid himself into believ-
ing that the war has not been largely
in vain unless we succeed in removing
ing the important causes of wars.
Probably the most important Of these
causes is the hope that the big inter-
ests in different countries have had
of being able to secure, exclusive trade
territory, not by business ability but
by political means backed by nili-
tary force.
They use these means to keep eth

pretty much the same thing with a
good sized sprinkling of Ultra-radi-
Gals, pro-germans, anarchists and a
few other mongrels.
Yours truly,
FRED LUNDBERG.
Now when you find man writing
stuff like the above, it is well to in
vestigate the loyalty of the man max
ing all "the noise" When this is
done, person will most always find,
that the man writing like this man
nearly always has conscience
troubling him.
Now, for instance, this man Lund-
berg; he lives among. neighbors all of
whom are members of the League.
These league members have all
bought bonds, have supported all of
the war activities, have observed all
of the food regulations up to and be-
yond the spirit of the government
regulations. Mr.. Lundberg, who talks
so continuously of his patriotism and
loyalty and makes it his past-time to
question loyalty and patriotism of
others, especially the members of the
Nonpartisan League, is a man, whom
his neighbors tell us, made the brags
that he did not use substitutes, but
that he bought them because he had
to and fed them to the hogs, even
saying that they were only hog feed
anyway and were not fit for his two
dogs which he fed white bread.
All of his neighbors know these
statements to be facts, and they are
surprised and amused at this mans
nerve" in becoming a member of the
gang" who are making this sort of
a campaign against the league They
expect this kind Of "stuff" to appear
in such farmer hating, farmer insult
ing and graft supporting organs as
the, "Pioneer Press" No one expects
the truth or even common decency
from such a source, but why a farm
or who has supported the government
N the self-sacrifcing manner as has
Mr.. Lundberg, in aiding in the con-
servation Of food, can cast reflection
on any neighbor or any organization
IN regard to loyalty is indeed puz-.

other bones of contention in which
trade may be obtained by military
strength as well as by business abili-
ty. Just now there IS much talk of
keeping the German people from
world trade.
President Wilson has set his face
against all this intrigue and business
by blood and iron, but he may NOT
succeed. The imperialists in Amer.
ca are decidedly against abolishin-
this cause for war and decidedly in
FAVOR Of big ornaments so that the
special interests can force big swag
of the foreign trade. The presidents
Ia principles have not been accepted
abroad as generally as people here
have been led to believe. The British
Labor party in England, for instance,
has accepted them, but this party
does not speak for England at the
peace table by a long way. The same
10 true OF France and Italy. The In
terests that have the voice at the
peace table have not accepted the
presidents plan for abolishing the
trade causes of war.
And failure on this point means
that we would stand just about where
we stood in 1913. Haven't we had
enough of war to be ready for other

their former masters.
IL we must have indemnltles'
there 10 only one consistent and just
method of securing them, and that is
is to levy on the property Of the junk
er, or. special privilege classes OF
these nations the sums which the
allies think would be fair. The great
estates Of the kaiser and the Krupps'
for instance, could be seized and the
proceeds Of their sale applied toward
the indemnity or the restoration OF
territory in Belgium and northern
France.
We will thus give the peoples OF
the central powers fair deal. We
will save them from expiating the
sins of others and at the same time
will draw the teeth Of their special
interests that centered around the
political autocracy.
We shall soon see whether the al
lied governments are interested In
the square deal and consistency and
whether they think more of the gull
ty special interests of the central
powers than the people of those
countries.
