just one was enough.
He came to the west coast in prairie
schooner and worked his way through
hardship and toll, in spite of a frail
body. He has a copy of the Twenty
third Psalm hanging on the wall of his
office, but when a committee of Boil
sheviki called on him to request that
he keep his hands off the strike he told
them to go to hell"
The way to deal with treason il to
smash it and not coddle it. We have
lot of maudin sentimentalsts in the
country who weep great gobs Of tears
every time the |. W. W. are mentioned.
But tho leaders of real workers, who
understand what real work is, do not
sympnthizc with the American Boil
shevik.
Roosevelt, who spoke softly but car
ried big stick, is gone. And so when
a man like Ole Hanson comes up, it is
refreshing and encouraging.
AS -matter Of fact, the Kansas
farmer had his fill of I. W.. w. three
and four years ago, when |. w. w. men
enlisted among the harvesters and burned
barns and rioted in a dozen counties.
They have never returned to Kansas
with the exception of this one venture
in the oil fields. Neither war unrest nor
industrial discomfort seems to have
weakened the states wrath toward these
hobo revolutionaries
The telephone strike has stirred
Wichita far more than its Bolshevists.
1t is tempest in small teapot, but
a noisy one. Nine weeks ago 1874 girls
at the Southwestern Bell Headquarters
walked out because one of their super
visors had been, as they considered, un-
justly discharged. The supervisor was
Miss Leila Phipps, and Wichita was par
ticularly interested in her case because
she was born in the town, supported
widowed mother, and had two brothers
in the American Expeditionary Forces.
The telephone girls formed a union last
autumn, shortly after the government
took over the lines. Under the govern
ment ruling, the Bell Company could do
nothing to stop the unionizing and about
two-thirds Of the girls had Joined the
union when the strike occurred A peti-
ton for an increase in wages was being
circulated among the girls, union and
and Miss Phipps violated a
rule of the company in leaving her
switchboard to ask a girl to sign the
petition. The company was, under the
rule, justified in discharging her. But
her general efficiency was unquestoned
and the girls felt that advantage had
been taken Of a technical breach of n

sentiment, here s the comment Of

Beacon on the Seattle strike, which
was settled the day the last Of the
Wichita prisoners were shipped away to
Kansas City:
The strike was not melted by legti-

thought they saw n chance to exploit
their we'll known principles by pro-
noting general strike and parnlyzing
industry. Their purpose was to begin
a widespread revolution. Luckily there
was a real man against them. He is of
Scandinavian descent, but he is all
American. He is a strong progressive

been classed as a radical in his cham

rounded out its industrial unrest by de-
veloping one other labor trouble, tele-

other communities large and Small. 1t
has handled affairs in typical American
fashion, with typical ability and typical
blunders, and both episodes are worth
recording.
How does Wichita come to have an
]. W. W. problem on its hands? Not
from any innate love Of Bolshcvism.
On the contrary The event that
brought the I. W. w. into this pros
porous, calm, most American city was
the discovery three years ago Of oil at
hldorado, in Butler County, few miles
TO the east. Up till that time it had
been growing steadily on the wheat and
corn and cattle roundabout Oil has
brought much new wealth to Wichita,
many new and beautiful homes and a
new hotel that is the last word in com
fort, beauty and architectural reserve
the modern "quiet" note 1t has enlarged
the European circle of Wichita, but it
mas not reduced its Americanism. Oil
men overran the town for while, but
tney have mostly passed on to fresh
pastures in Oklahoma and Texas, and
Wichita, with its 10000 population (sec-
ond only to Kansas City in the state),
remains as it was, busy but most COM
Portable, widespread rural city-"The

Revolving jail conditions that recall
the dungeons OF the Middle Ages have
come to light through the protest of
the Industrial Workers of the World
men confined in the Scdgwick county
jail in Wichita Kan. The men were
arrested a year ago this month and
have been in Jail ever since, awaiting
the pleasure Of the district attorney.
Their bail was set at 5000, which for
workingmen was equivalent to imme-
date Imprisonment without a trial
Although strong, healthy men when
they went in, these I. w. w. prisoners
are now visibly breaking physically and
mentally under the barbarous jail con-
ditions. James Gossard, one of their
number, died on October 81, 1918; an
other, Sam Forbes has lost his mind
result Of a serious illness brought
on by privation and unsanitary cond-
tions, and two more, w. Francik and

 Mir. Heney said it was that same night that Mayer met him in the hotel and he added that he had told several people of the meeting and had made up his mind to make a statement en- bodying his assertions about Mir. Mayer at the conclusion of the hear ing as illustrative of the methods he said the packers had pursued.
 Continuing Mir. Heney said:
 They've used all sorts of methods with our young men who have told me of executives of the companies com ing to them when they are working in the Chicago plants and saying: You shouldn't be working for the gov ernment; you ought to have a better job
 In opposing the legislation before the committee for control of the meat industry, Mir Mayer said the big packing companies would not oppose regulation by commission to be ap- pointed by the president and to be composed of representatives of the producers, packers and consumers.

He said that he was invited to the office of Carl Mayer in Chicago last year for conference and after he had been there some time Levy Mayer entered the room, grabbed him by the coat lapel and said he was "so glad to meet him. Mir. Heney then quoted MT Mayer as saying:

 This step, it is stated, is due to re- ports that the allies are to withdraw their forces from Siberia and also to fear that the conference at the Princes Islands will result in recogni- ton of the bolsheviki.

CHARGE PROHIBITION
 ACTION |S ILLEGAL

PROVIDENCE, R. l.. Feb. 1. - The Providence Journal will print t9nor- row a statement declaring that. after consultation with some of the best known constitutional lawyers in the country. it believes the action of Sec retary Polk in proclaiming the prohibit ton amendment effective and adopted was illegal. The proclamation IS en- tirely void, the Journal contends. for the reason that when it was made thirty-six states had not ratified the amendment.
 This list of states" the stat ement says. included a number of states the constitutions of which contained pro- visions for referendum of the acts and resolutions of their legislative assem- plies Among these states were Ohio and California.
 Therefore. Mir. Folks proclamation declaring that 36 states had ratified, as of January IS, 1919, is void and with out force. It assumed that the states listed as ratifying have completed their procedure, when. in fact, their proceed ure was no more complete than it would have been if only one house Of the general assembly had acted, and the decision of the other house was still undetermined
