Hines argues that this is the only
possible way In which the railroad
equipment can be kept continuously at
work at high efficiency, as It distrib-
utes the traffic before congestion can
start. ,
Berger Waits for COMMITTEES.
Victor L. Berger, the lone Social
list elected to the present congress-, has
been given an Office room and the use
of the postal frank by common consent
of the house, although he Is deprived,
by a resolution adopted on the opening
day of the session, Of his right to
speak or vote. He is waiting for the
special committee Of nine members,
headed by Representative Dallinger Of
Massachusetts,, to begin It's inquiry
into his right to become a member of
the house when he is under sentence
for alleged editorial violation Of the
espionage act.
"Are your old friends among the
Democrats and Republicans giving
you the go-by, these days?" he was
asked, as he discussed the constitu-
tional questions involved in his case,
seated at his congressional desk in the
house Office building.
Far from 1t" replied Berger. Look
at those spittoons!"
The evidence Of southern and west.
ern craftsmanship upon and around
the congressional cuspidors was un.
mistakable; a good many statesmen
had been In to chat.
Je~-5aitIng Here Too.
Jew-baiting has been taken up as
q congressional pastime by Represen-
tative Albert Johnson Of Hoquiam,
Wash, who has hitherto reserved his
anathemas for labor agitatoTs, the
Bolsheviki and radicals generally.
Whether it be due to the fact that
Jewish wage-workers are almost uni
versally trade unionists, or to some
other reason, Johnson offered these
remarks. delivered May 26 and print
ed N page 283 Of the Congressional
Record for the new session:
Il received today q letter which
might be Of interest to those who are
worried for fear too many aliens are
going out Of the country. It describes
a meeting-mostly of aliens-held in
New York night before last to pro.
test against the treatment Of their CO.
religionists abroad, and It Is said to
have been q remarkable meeting. No
one could have studied the mass Of
wolflsh faces or have seer the stunted
humanity, says the writer, without a
shock He says II the committee on
immigration could have seen that
meeting, II members of congress could
have seen It. there would be no doubt
whatever Of the immediate passage of
a bill restricting immigration" (Ap-

Antitrust Laws Attacked.
Farmers and wage-workeu who
have watched the easy triumph Of the
big meat packers ver the attempt of
the federal trade commission to bring
them to time will be interested to
know that Secretary Of Commerce
Redield is working for the repeal Of
the 800txuSt k8WS.
In the official magazine Of the Unit
ed States Chamber Of Commerce, the
June issue Of the Nations Business,
he declares that More and more az I
have gained acquaintance with the
business of the country as a whole I
have become convinced that the ad-
vance in ethical purpose. in moral per
ception, in a higher grade Of practice
IN the business world, has separated it
widely from the actual conditions with
which the antitrust laws were orig.
inalfy enacted to DEAL" i
He also remarks that TT is obvious
that there must be progress Of law
side by side with the growth Of bust
ness ideals, 20 that the former shall
not misrepresent the latter, and so
that the commerce Of the country may
have the freedom necessary for its ex.
pansion as q living force. We may
not keep the new wine Of trade in the
old bottles Of the law"
1.-THE obligations Of business to the
public" he says again, took visible
form In connection with the war. Back
Of the armies and making the armies
possible lay the unseldsh sacrifices
and efforts Of industry. Without our
factories we not only could not have
won, but could harly have fought at
all. The Industrial effort In the war
will some day be revealed, l trust, In
its true proportions, and when so
shown will 90 Tar to shame those who
retain suspicious Of the patriotism Of
commerce, Il any such are left. But
the effort Of industry was equaled By
ftp sacrifices"
Secretary Redfeld is making verbal
amends to big business for the failure,
for the moment, Of his scheme for
fixing high prices for steel, coal and
other basic materials Of industry foE
the reconstruction period.
