Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-11-01

Editorial Note: The following statement by the man who was recent ly elected at Amsterdam, President of the worlds Federation of Trade Unions, is of the greatest significance at the present time. MT. Appleton points out that phrases and catch words are everywhere taking the place of production. Unless the world produces it cannot live. While the statement is made in regard to condi- tions in England it applies every where, and Printers Ink is glad to present it to its readers through the courtesy of the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy.)
 The tragedy which threatens to overwhelm Britain proceeds in regular fashion. Gradually, but definitely, is unfolded the plot to bring misery up- on the people in the expectation that misery may advance revolution and exalt the demagogues who would be- come autocrats. There has been the battle of phrases, the avalanche of promises, and the sapping of moral fibre. To-day there is the game of tactics between the revolutionaries who control the Miners Federation and the Railway Workers Organiza- tion. Tomorrow one may confidently anticipate the outbreak.
 Circumstances follow each other with the regularity, though not the harmony, of musical cadence. There has been. preparation, now there is percussion, and tomorrow there will be resolution and revolution that may involve dissolution of the British Elm pire.
 In the battle of phrases, even the Government has joined. It has seen salvation in ninepence for fourpence, in acceptance of the demand that workers should be remunerated ac- cording to their desires, instead of ac- cording to their earning capacities, in the resuscita6on of the discredited labor laws and conditions of Edward III. It has permitted and does per init fraud in high and low place to go unpunished or under punished.
 The Government is at a disadvan- tage in the battle of words and prom ises. It is expected to make good it's utterances and fulfil it's promises. This involves expense, and in endeav- bring to raise the money with which to meet expenses, the Government in CUTS opposition and unpopularity. So far it has met the situation by more words and more promises, and by the creation of an administrative machine, which it estimates will, this year, cost one hundred and sixteen and a half millions. It has so far found no method of turning the developing tragedy into a drama with a happy ending. It has still no ascertainable policy.

Particularly this true of the southern part
of Minnesota, notably Jackson and Martin counties
Officials in both these counties making capital
of their fight against the League The prosecuting
attorneys of both these subdivisions of the state
were especially active in the campaign against the
League. In Martin county there was Albert R.
Allen, in Jackson county E. H. Nicholas. Both had
seized on the League method of furthering
their own political ambitions, and both to accom-
plish their ends induged in series of petty per-
secutions of League men and in an open campaign
against the League.

bought books on their own account for free dis
tribution in the community. Others gave time and
effort to disposal of the volumes By this time
Teigen published another edition of the book.
Every move that Teigen made was passed on
by Patterson, who kept accurate check on all
the expenditures of his willing tool. Patterson,
though entrusting Teigen with the work of furnish
ing material for the book, trusted him no further
Fearing that having betrayed the League he might
repeat the trick this time against him, Patterson
hired spy to keep in close touch with Teigen
This man became the close friend, the confidant
of Teigen. Mr.. Patterson adopted the Russian
system Of engaging spy to watch spy.
But this evidently did not trouble Teigen.
He went blithely about his work of disposng
of his book to gullible bankers and politicians
who were blindly fighting the League. In

Nicholas and Allen he found ready aid. They
showed their Willingness even their anxious
ness, to push Teigen's book. Nicholas gave
considerable time to the effort, in conjunction
with Teigen, to align the business men of the
farming communities against the League. Con-
siderable correspondence passed between the
two men-One of the letters is reproduced in
these pages. Allen, as the telegram here shows,
also acted with Teigen to circulate the anti
League book.
Teigen also was used by these "patriotic" poll
ticans to testify in the bankruptcy trial against
A. c: Townley, but his testimony proved valueless
for the Patterson clique.
But finally, when his usefulness to them ended
Tegen was dropped by his chums, and he drfted
off to Wisconsin, leaving his wife and family behind
Telgen, always a plausible chap, approached

that he had forged my name to

Immediately he sent for Or

wept like a child in his cell and
begged that we get him out Of

we wanted him to do, declaring
he could not stand the disgrace.
He offered to give us a mortgage
on a Nash car which he said he
owned and which he declared was
then in Minneapolis. We are look

so far we have been unable to
find that Teigen ever had such a

The labor involved in writing the book itself,

with a lavish hand. The material consisted largely
of the product of Teigen's fertile fancy. The eek

Here is the record that caused
Mr.. Teigen's discharge from the

Accused Of conve

Utterly discredited as he was,
Telgen set out to make capital of
his dishonor. The League then
was a pet subject with the polit-

felt their grip on state politics

organized farmer. Teigen, al
ways shrewd and cunning, saw
this terror and saw in it his op-

PATTERSON CLIQUE LINES

How he approached Patterson,
or whether Patterson and his
clique approached him, is not def
initely established, but from facts
produced by Clarence F. johnson,
another employe of the Patterson
organization, it is reasonable to
assume that the latter surmise is
correct. At least, there was no
time lost in establishing close re-
lationship between Teigen, in
dicted for disloyalty, and Patter-
son, head of the business clique
thatswas fighting the League as
a business proposition under the
cover of "loyalty." It was this
organization that first started the
