LETTER FROM FRANK 1. KEN.
YON.
Camp Montoir, March 10, 1919.
Mr.. T. s. Kenyon,
Missouri Valley, Iowa.
Dear Father:
/ guess it i'd about time for me to
write . line or two. am feeling fine
and hope that you are all well: ] had
about twenty letters waiting for me
when I got back from my leave, SO !
will be busy answering letters for q
while. Well, papa, / will try to tell
you little about our leave. There
were twenty-five men from our COM
pany who went to the Brittany Leave
Area. We left Monitor on February
oath. We travelled all night and ar
rived in St. Malo on the morning Of
the 25th. We made two stop-overs Of
about four hours each. The first one
at Blain, and the other at Rennes. We
arrived at Blain about four p. m. and
met a lieutenant who fixed things up
for our supper. We went to the hotel
and had fine supper. Well, the
lieutenant insisted on paying the bill
for the twenty-five of US. We appre-
ciated his kindness very much, but
that is pretty big thing for one to
tackle in France, as they don't give
meals away over here.
There were six of us that stayed
at the same place. We stayed at q
private residence and were certainly
well taken care Of. Had beds with
real honest to goodness springs and
those things. We went out on trip
with the Y. M. C. A. to Mont St.
Michel. This was wonderful place.
1t is village of about $50 population
and during high tide is entirely sur
rounded by water. The village is
built on rock which is two hundred
feet high, and is enclosed by great
wall. On the summit Of the rock is
built an abbey. The architecture Of
this abbey is wonderful. Part Of it is
Gothic and part Roman. It has been
rebuilt and added to time after time.
could tell you a lot more, but won't
! do it, as l have other letters to write.
l met Clarence Kinart at Dinard, and
i had quite visit with him. We start
ed back to our camp the afternoon Of
the 5th, and stopped at LIE Mans
about midnight, and stayed there un.
til the next evening at eight. We
landed back at Monitor about a. m
Of the 7th, tired out. l slept most Of
the day, and started work once more
on Saturday morning.
Well, / must ring off now.

NEW LOAN FIGURES.

Terms of the Victory Liberty Loan
were given out Monday by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, and are even
more favorable than had been expect
ed. The loan is to be for four year
term. The interest rate is to be four
and three-fourths per cent. The
amount Of bonds to be issued is $4,-
500, 100000.
The quotas were also given out for
Iowa and that for Harrison county is
81, 104 ,525.00. This fixes the quota
for each township at twenty-five per
cent less than that for the Fourth
Liberty bond issue. We should put
this over with a rush.
Most Of the former issues Of bonds
may be converted to Victory Loan
bonds. It is announced that this is
the last issue Of bonds that will be
offered to the public. No over sub.
scriptions are to be accepted.

FARM LABOR.

Contrary to the opinion of many, no
farm labor surplus yet exists in this
county. In part there is greater
shortage Of farm labor this year than
last. It has been impossible to sup
ply the demands.
Last year 100 applications were re-
ceived at the Farm Bureau office and
100 men were actually placed. To
date, three months and half of 1919,
80 applications have been received,
and so men have been placed. There
were Is applications on hand one week
ago. Standing orders were left with
both private and Federal labor bu-
reaus. They were unable to furnish
us enough men to supply our wants.
At this writing about all applications
are filled, the bad weather stopping
the call for men.
Farmers who will be in need Of help
are urged to place your applications
at once. We will see another short.
age as soon as the weather settles
and field work again starts. Phone
or drop letter to the Farm Bureau
office, Logan, if in need Of help. A
letter should carry the following in
formation: Name, address, phon,
number, farm location, wages, dat,
help wanted, and any other detail
concerning the work. The men wan
a pretty thorough description, con
corning places before they will go out
The wage seems to range from
$500 to 10000 per month, including
board and washing.

GOVERNMENT
BY INJUNCTION
Strikingly Illustrated in Re
straining Order Against
Miners

Washinpton The federal restrain
ing order against coal miners illus
trates government by injunction IN
striking manner and again shows how
this writ is used against workers.
Attorney General Palmer is quoted in
a ,ocai newspaper that the strike is a
violation Of the war-time food and fuel
act and while criminal prosecutions
could have been instituted, the gov
ernment has chosen to settle the issue
in the court at Indianapolis
Trade unionists show that when the
food and fuel act was proposed they
were assured it did not apply To
strikes intended to improve the con
dition of wage earners, but to enemies
of the government who would destroy
or interfere with production. Under
this act, if an enemy alien, for IN
stance, attempted to foment a strike
for the purpose of interfering with
production he would be arrested and
punished after beng tried by a jury.
In the case Of the miners they arr
attempting to secure improved work
ing conditions. The fact that there
is am interference with production is
incidental to their movement The
intent constitutes the offence. There

WORKERS MUST
AWAKE
To Proposed Anti Strike
Plan

Washington.-T executive council
of the American Federation of Lator
has issued call to organized laba. to
awaken to the dangers contained in
the Cummins railroad bill, which
makes strikes of railroad employees a
criminal offense
The necessity for action is indicated
by these declarations by the executive
council:
Fellow workers, we solemnly ad-
wise you your rights and interests are
in jeopardy Only utmost vigilance
and prompt action will safeguard you
against aggressiyely hostile enact
ments by congress, which will take
away the gains of years of struggle
and sacrifice
Workers, rouse yourself for your
own protection Act before it is too
late Hold meetings, send kilograms
and letters to your represe entatives
and senators at Washington, D i,
against this proposed legislation or
any legislation of a similar eharacte:s
Use every lawful and honorable
means ait your command in most
earnest protest against this most
wrongful and unjust attempt to re-
store slavery within our republic
slavery not Of another race, but of
our own kind
The Objectionable section Of the
Cummins bill makes it unlawful for
employees to strike a transportation
board Of five members appointed by
tie president, will make final deci-
sions on wages, hours and working
conditions The workers are denied
voice in the selection Of these five
men, and if they fail to obey them
they Will be jailed and fined
Another section Of the bill makes i
criminal offense for others to give
such counsel to the workers that a
strike VIII result
Under this latter section even crlh-
cism Of the law could be construed as
a misdemeanor

is no similarity between the intent of
the miners and the enemy Of the gov
ernment
Where The enemy alien is accorded
a jury trial, the miners, whose only
purpose is to improve working eondi
tions, are enjoined If they are ar
rested under the orders Of JudgeAn-
edrson they viii not be tried for vio-
lating the food and fuel act, but for
violating an injunction, with the court
acting as lawmaker, judge and eXecu-
toner.
If criminal proceedings were started
against officers of the miners under
the food and fuel act, the government
would be forced to prove to a jury
that the accused intended to interfere
with production
In the injunction proceeding how
ever, the miners are placed on the
defensive. While the enemy alien Is
innocent until proven guilty, the min
ers can be ordered by judge Anderson
to show why they should not be pur.
ished for contempt Of court
They are assumed to be guilty anI
must prove their innocence

MINERS DON'T AVERAGE
6-HOUR WORK-DAY NOW

Washington, IF the miners could
reach the great mass Of our citizens
and explain their six-hour day de-
mand, opposition to this proposal
would disappear, said Edgar Wal
lace, representative TO the United
Mine Workers.
The coal miners" said the trade
unionist, can show by the United
States geological survey tina, they
have mo- averaged six hours a day foe
II years. Reports by this government
bureau show that since 1902 the miner
has worked from $50 to 228 days a
year. The latter figure applies to 1918
when, under war stress, the mines
We're operated more regular and the
men received 228 days employment

JOINT MANAGEMENT
Scheme Punctured by Labor
Editor

Boston Just as saviols OF thet
workers are figuring how much pub
licity is III the scheme to give labor
voice ia management, along comes
Editor Baine Of the Shoe Workers
Journal and smashes the latest fad.
Recently the Massachusetts Iegisla
tu.e passed a law permitting corpora
tions to place employees on boards OF
directors and the governor Of the
state has publicly declared it is
another forward step by this great
commonwealth
Baine pokes fun at the law and
says it is as humorous as if a law
was passed giving him the right to
present his child with an apple He
shows that the corporations always
had the right to give an employe a
share Of stock and then elect him 10
the board Of directors
But this was too simple, says the
labor editor. There was no grand
stand play or limelight stuff about it
rs it singular that the corporation
represented by the legislator who in
troduced this bin has always avoided
dealing with it's employees on the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining?
eve have not heard Of any in
stance in which any employing inter
est has advocated that the principle
of labor participation in management
be applied in dealing with union en-
ployes Like profit sharing it seems
to be intended only for consumption
by non-union employees or means by
which non-union employers hope to
avoid recognition of and dealings with
unions Of labor.
"For our part, give US collective
bargaining, fully recognized, and We
will have more sympathy with the
trials and troubles of successful busi-
ness management, in the real respon-
sibilities of which we seek no share.
Please do not waste any more time
in mixing knockout drops which or
ganized labor refuses to take"

New York. The American Teacher,

be afraid just because men like Judge
Gary thunder their declarations
against organized labor.
