Boston police strike and the coal strike
have resulted.
"Thc suffering that will he caused
by the mincrs' strike will fall not upon
the rich, who have prepared themselves
against its consequences, but upon
millions Of poor" said Senator Poin-
dexter. "This and other strikes which
are plunging the nation into industrial
chaos are not really controversies
about wages and hours of labor but
arc fomcntcd by anachistic agitators
as part of the program to abolish
the wage system and to establish the
dictatorship of the proletariat
"The great mass Of American labor
is sensible and patriotic. A species Of
government within government, tho
tyranny Of radical walking delegates
in the labor organizations, has coerced
and intimidated many laborers to quit
work when they really wanted to work.
Innumerable instances OF governmental
aid and sympathy has given tremcn-
hous encouragement to this lawless
movement until it has become the chief
political issue of our time"
Mr. Poindexter cited the treatment
Of Robert Minor, accused OF attempt
ing to incitc sedition in the American
army and the Thomas Mooney case as
instances of governmental support to
radical tendencies.

The collection of French war post

ical society by Gov. Henry Allen upon
his return from France was exhibited
in the museum today and attracted no
little comment among the visiting
members here for the annual meeting.
At the very beginning of the great
war. the most famous artists of France
busted the mselves with painting post
ers to encourage enlistments, adver-
tise liberty loans and stimulate econ
omy and war activities. survey of
the posters in the historical collec-

much stronger Impressions than the
American work.

Jonas, Romberg. Faivre and scores of
Others turned their energies into this
line of work and some of the subjects
they portrayed will no doubt live as
long as their ordinary masterpieces
The most recent of all the posters is
one showing a Hun with a dagger in
one hand and a torch in the other de-
vastating the country, while below,
after the war. he stands hat in hand,
humbly asking the commercial patron
age of France. In effect, the artist
says: =

his goods. is the same Hun who de-
wasted your country, destroyed your
cities and murdered your babes a few

where some score or more of pictures
were taken of them. and then entered
the waiting cars and sped to their

parade for Topeka, and one that is
not likely to happen again. soon, at
