NO NECESSITYFOR

PLACES OF MEN
:l-...l.NN
n

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Dep-
uty Labor Commissioner German says
there is no necessity for women to
enter industries heretofore employing
men exclusively.
1.-The only reason for such action"
he says, lis the greed of employers
to make money. OF course, they will
tell you there is a shortage of labor
owing to the large number of men who
have joined the co1ors, but that is not
true. In many instances have found
that men who are too old to enlist
have been laid off and women put in
their places for the sole reason that
the women worked for wages so per
cent less than the men.
':In other words, to put it plainly.
some employers are using the war as
an excuse to get their work done
cheap and make more money for
themselves by having women work.
ers." The commissioner cited one case
where an employer discharged his
male workers when they asked for
higher wages and an eight-hour day.
Women were installed at about one
half the wage formerly paid.

Mr.. MAMMALIAN INDICATED
(From The Nonpartisan Leader.)

(From The Nonpartisan Leader.)
James Manahan is a former Min
nesota congressman. He is the farm
ers'~ attorney who baked in the
courts the attempt of the Chamber of
Commerce to put the farmers Equity
Cooperative exchange out of business
some years ago. Oscar E. Keller is
commissioner of public utilities of the
city of st. Paul. Thomas J. McGrath
is a lawyer for labor unions and a
strong sympathizer of organized
labor. These three men were indicted
recently by grand jury for melting
a meeting of labor union men and
other st. Paul citizens at Rice park,
st. Paul, during the street car strike.
After the Rice park meeting some
windows were broken in street cars,
during an hour or so of disorder on
the streets.
When these indictments were re-
turned it was heralded broadcast
throughout Minnesota and the Uni
ted States that Mr.. Manahan was at
torney for the Nonpartisan league,
and the papers attempted to carry the
idea that the league has allied itself
with a 'lawless labor element in st.
Paul." and had melted as riot. It is
true that Mr.. Manahan at various
times had acted as attorney for
President A. c. Townley of the Nom
partisan league in personal matters.
He had never been attorney for the
league.
The disgra ceful thing, however, was
not entirely this attempt to besmirch
the league on account of the Rice
park speeches. The worst part of it
was that the case against Manahan
was framed up, without a particle of
justification, by the attorney general
of Minnesota, the street car company
and the anti-labor and anti-farmer
business interests of St. Paul, aided
by the st. Paul newspapers which are
hostile to labor and to the farmers.
AS the attorney generals office aided
in the prosecution Of Manahan, and
as the attorney general is member of
the Public Safety commission of Min
nesota, it must be assumed the at
tempt to railroad Manahan to the pen
itentiary was done With the knowl-
edge and approval of the safety COM
mission.
The facts of the case are these:
Manahan during his speech advised
the striking street car men of, st.
Paul to be orderly, and insist on their
rights in an orderly but firm man
ner. He insisted that the strikers
must convince the public of the justice
of their cause by obeying the law and
by a frank and lawful presentation of
their case. The speech was, in fact,
a plea for law and order. By no pos
sible stretch of the Imagination could
! it be held to be the car!se of the al
legged riot. And in fact, the prose-

BUREAU
STARTS CAMPAIGN
TO SAVE BABIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. Fl. The
children's bureau of the federal de-
partment of labor announces a drive
to save 100000 lives ordinarily sacri-
feed to infant diseases.
A nationwide weighing and meas
uring of babies and children of pre-
sent school age will begin April s to
be followed by an educational cam
paign, which it Is hoped will diminish
at least one-third the annual total of
100000 preventable deaths of chill
dren under five years.
The physical examinations will be
the most comprehensive stock taking
of human resources ever attempted
for the purpose of conserving life.
Methods by which lives are to be
saved during the - months period
include registration of every child so
that medical skill may be provided in
cases where the family income is low;
nurses during the period of. confine-

tSTEEMS S; SUPPORT
OF NoN Mp / / | 5 N.
Refused to Participate in Attack
On League. Planned d! By
Politicians, T: NJ. e. :.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 21.---That
the Federal government appreciates
the loyal support of the. Nonpartisan
league and has not the slightest doubt
about the patriotism ofsaits leaders,
has just been inadvertently admitted
by afbitter opponents OF the league
when he told how tk4 administration
refused to lend sitseltsto an attack on
the farmers Organization planned and
directed by certain big. business
agents and politicians in Minnesota.
Details of the conspiracy were re-
yealed by Joseph Chapman, vice presi-
dent of the Northwestern g.: g.: National
Bank of Minneapolis, IN Speech
made at Houghton, Mich, before the
Upper Peninsula Bankers associa-
ton. ..,.
According to Mr.. Chapman, the
great loyalty rally held at the Twin
Cities on Nov. 16 was organized ITO
offset the injurious effect Of the activ-
tiles of the Nonpartisan league" This
verifies a statement made at the time
by the Duluth News Tribune that the
loyalty meeting was planned at a
conference of businessmen, bankers
and newspaper publishers to combat
the influence of the Nonpartisan
league"
In arranging plans for this meeting,
according to Mr.. Chapman, "Wash-
ington was asked to permit one rep
resentative of the national govern
ment a member of the cabinet of the
president, to attend and lend his pres
ence to the good cause
"And the reply we got from WASH
ington," continued Mr.. Chapman,
was that this could be done only if
Townley, the organizer and director
of the Nonpartisan league, could have
a place on the platform and be al
lowed to speak"
Promoters of the meeting, of
course, refused to agree to this ar
rangement. The governments desire
to unite all the forces of the north
west meant nothing to these men.
Politics, not patriotism, was their
chief consideration and they would
rather go without the cabinet officer
than to give Mr.. Townley the place on
the program requested by the Federal
government.
Mr.. Chapman's admission will be a
stumbling block to those who are
making false charges ,yof disloyalty
against the Nonpartisan league.
Mr.. Chapman's statement also shows
that those who accuse the league of
disloyalty know that their charges are
false and simply make them for poll
teal effect, although they must real
ize that this stirs up 81 rife and has an
embarrassing effect on public opinion
at home as we'll as abroad.

THE. ART OF CR|T|C|s|NG
BY REV. CHARLES STELZLE.

Criticism is fair and legitimate.
Most of us need to be hit, and hit
hard some times. principally because
we often get the notion that we have
a monopoly of wisdom. This is par
ticularly true Of those who. are ac-
customed to having their own way be-
cause for the time being they are
placed in position of authority. !:
But criticism should be ,construc-
tive rather than destructive. Most
any fool can see the badness and the
weakness in men and things. Faults
are always glaring. But it takes a
wise man to see the good which may
be covered over by the bad. Not to
judge merely by superficial appear:
ances requires knowledge.
True criticism does not necessar-
lily mean a pointing out of weakness
1t may be the discovery of virtue.
However, most criticism is of the
other kind. 1t is just plain, simple
"knocking.'
Criticism. of another generally acts
as boomerang upon unjust critic,
because the critic is most apt to point
out in another the failing which is
peculiarly his own. - 1;SsH T :
AS a general proposition It rs bet
ter to critic yourself than to wait
until another fellow gets a chance to
criticize you: and be merciless to.

PRIVATE CONTROL !
OF MEAT INDUSTRY
IS REAL MENACE
Packers Cut Production to Fool
investigators, Says Union
Head.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The stock
yards labor controversy was reviewed
in detail by President John Fitzpat-
rick at Sundays meeting of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor. Among
other things he said that the future
of the workers and our allies in Eu-
rope will be in danger as long as the
packers are allowed to continue in
control of the packing industry.
Dennis Lane, secretary of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's union, who accompanied
Arbitrator Alschuler through the
packing houses Friday, told the fed
Grafton that the packers prior to the
party's entrance had ordered the ma
chinery to run at half speed in some
of. the plants, so as to make it appear
to Judge Alschuler that the workers
were having an easy time of it, Lane
said he insisted that it be run at the
usual rate, and that when this was
done the arbitrator saw for himself
how hard the men had to work.
Never Saw Daylight.
Lane said the party encountered
man, aged IS, who told them he had.
worked there q years and was then
receiving but 271. cents an hour. In
the pork picking cellars, Lane said,
the arbitrator was shown men who
worked 80 hours a. week, week in and
week out, for 271a cents an hour, and
who, because of their hours and the
darkness of the cellars, never saw
daylight.
At the paymaster's window, Lane
said, the checks of men who were
being paid were inspected, and IA out
of Is showed the men to be receiving
but 271a cents an hour.
J. Ogden Armour and Nelson Nor
ris, packing, heads, are expected to
tell Federal Judge Samuel Alschuler
that the end of the European war will
bring a universal eight-hour day for
stock yards workers. The two pack
ers were called as witnesses in the
packing industry wage controversy.
Packers officials stated entrance of
the United States in the war had
halted plans for putting into effect
the shorter working day. They con-
tend it -1uld cut down production
needed by the government if adopted
now.

cution admitted this to he true. But
it was claimed that riot as a matter
of fact followed the speech, and re-
CARELESS of the character of the
speech, the speaker was guilty of III
citing to~-riot.
Could a more diabolical interpreta-
ton of the law have been made? What
citizen would be safe under such an
interpretation of the law? If you ad-
vised a man to obey the law, and he
then, in spite of it, went and commit
ed murder, you could be held as an
accomplice to the murder. Intrenched
privilege, with the aid of the legal
machinery of government, never
framed up a more dishonest prosecu-
ton to discredit organized labor. To
use governmental machinery-grand
juries, county. and state attorneys and
courtsNfor prosecutions of this Ind
is anarchy.
OF the three accused, Mr.. Manahan
was tried first, on the charge of in
citing riot. A jury was drawn and
Judge +. N. Dickson of the district
court presided. The case never got to
the jury. After the state had pre-
sented it's evidence, Judge Dickson
threw the case out of court. He held
that there was not particle of evil
dence to show Mr.. Manahan had in
cited the alleged riot. He said, in ef-
feet, that it would be a judicial crime
to let case of this kind even get to
the jury. Mr.. Manahan and organized
labor of st. Paul were vindicated in
a most convincing manner.
With certain INSCRIPTIONS business
interests of St. Paul and anti-labor
daily papers clamoring for the convic-
ton of Mr.. Manahan, Judge Dickson
deserves the thanks of every law-abid-
ing and decent citizen of Minnesota
for his courage in refusing to let the
Minnesota courts be party to the
persecution of Mr.. Manahan.- But
what's shall be said of the attorney gen.
eral' and the county attorney who
were parties to this persecution
What shall be said of public officials
who permit themselves to be used by
| corporations, newspapers and anti
labor and anti-farmer interests to
prosecute honest and law-abiding citi-
zens under the color of law?

FAIR MAKES $500
FOR RED CROSS


The profits from the Farmers Fair,
which is given annually by the stu
dents in the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, were given to
the Red Cross this year. The reas-
urer of the fair has announced that
approximately $500 was cleared by the
1918 Liberty Fair, which was given
April 26. The money will be turned
in through the University Women's
Auxiliary to the Red Gross.
The Farmers Fair is the largest
student stunt in America. 1t was
originated several years ago, and has
been given each year, except last
year when conditions were so unset
tied that the students felt the stunt
would be inappropriate. The 1918
fair, however, was advertised as a
Red Cross benefit, and was based upon
war activities. Profits from the fair
are always devoted to some worthy
cause.

AGENT NEEDED IN EACH
=, COUNTY, SAYS HOUSTON

A county agent is needed in every
county in the United States, accord
ing to Secretary David T. Houston Of
the United States Department of Ag-
ricuture. The county agent system
has demonstrated its usefulness as
means of developing the agricultural
resources of the country.
Working in intimate and sympa-
thetic relation with rural people,"
says Secretary Houston in recent
communication, "the county agent is
able to secure the application OF
scientific knowledge and discoveries to
the business CT the farmer and the
home life of country people. In the
present war he has been ready 10 meet
the emergency and to concentrate all
rural forces and organizations in
working out the great problems of
food production and food conservation.
In recognition of his value as a local
leader, Congress has provided funds
for the immediate extension of this
system to every agricultural county
In the United States. State and coun

organizations can do patriotic SER
vice by assisting the Government and
