Says Attorney General
SPEAKS FOR VICTORY LOAN

Attornel General A. Mitchell Palmer
has no intention of giving up his seat
as Pennsylvania member of the Demo-
cratic national committee. When the ex-
ocutive committee of the Democratic
state committee met here a short time
ago, it was suggested that Palmer might
resign, and former Congressman Bruce
f. Sterling, of Uniontown, was mem
toned for his place.
'Mr. Sterling has been selected to re
organize the party in the state for the
congressional and presidential cam
paign of next year." said Mr.. Palmer
today before returning to Washington
after an address here in behalf of the
Victory Loan. 'I have no thought
of resigning as member of the Demo
cratic national committee. OF course.
my term as national committeeman will
expire next year, but that is too far
ahead for me to consider whether I will
again be a candidate for the place.

SOCIALISTS RESENT'THREAT

Paris. April 25.-The Socialist group
has authorized Marcel Cachin to inter
pellate the government in the Chamber
of Deputies on the recent movement of
troops. This will have particular re-
lation TO the activities of troops around
industrial centers.
L'Humanite in its issue OF ycster-
day expresses regret editorially that the
government should have moved so many
troops around Paris and the industrial
centers in readiness for possible eventu-
alties on May Day.

Having made thissstatement he owes it
10 the public to produce evidence 20
prove his charges or to admit that he
simply lied.
Penrose "Gone Mad
"Penrose has gone mad as the reali
zation of his impotcncy in Philadelphia
politics has dawned upon him. These
charter bills were prepared at his sug-
gestion and under his direction and he
has now torn off the mask and has
rushed to Harrisburg using falsehood,
vituperation and typical coarseness. 1t
might as well be understood now as any
other time that Penrosc will have moth
ing to do with enacting laws to change
our charter. 1t is and will be II matter
entirely for the Governor to pass upon.
and those who know the Governor y
splendid business training and success
do not expect him to interfere with our
charter TO any great extent when the
fact has been brought to his attention
that fully % per cent of our people
do not want our present charter dis
turbcd.
PERSONALLY I will have nothing TO do
with charter changes that will increase
the taxation of our people, the home
owners and the business men of the city,
who are already too heavily taxed by the
national, state and city governments.
Any citizen who will read the Wood
ward bills will know at once that they
mean higher taxes and more money to
run the city under the impractical
theories of the charter revision bills,
drawn by men who have hod no ex
pericnce whatever.

Attorney General Palmer. who, in a
letter to John G. Winston, chairman of
the Philadelphia charter committee, ap-

Philadelphia, expressed himself as be-

so called personal relation in indus
try" Mr.. Rockefeller says:
THE mistaken point of view in re-
gard to the relation between labor
and capital exists on the part OF both
labor anl capital, as well as among
the interested aud disinterested public.
A Great Human Problem
TOO often capital regards labor
merely as a commodity to be bought
and sold, while labor not infreuuently
regards capital as money personihcd in
the so1lless corporation.
''1t might seem that. technically
speaking, both Of these definitions could
be justified, but they arc far from being
comprehensive and adequate. For both
the laborer and capitalist are men
men with muscle and mon with money.
Both are human beings and the indus
trial problem is great human problem.
This is one Of the first things we
need to recognize, and it is just because
human nature is involved in this prob
lem that it is so intricate and difficult
to solve.
