TREASON 70 HUMANITY.

Plenty OF men are stili living and
Ioquacious who have burned corn in
stoves to keep homes warm ard to
cook with. But that was cheap corn
and surplus corn, hard TO sell at low
prices and those who burned IL had
more corn than cattle and hogs to
which TO feed II.
It is another Indictment against The
coal strike and the utter disregard Of
the worlds needs present and future
that corn is by necessity burned as
fucL Every kernel of that corn has q
hungry stomach pleading for 1t and
the meat 1t produces. To force Its de-
struction as a choice between burning
Il and freezing is as wanton as killing
steer for its horns and leaving the
rest of the animal To rot.
Grandfather burned corn. This edi-
tor has a very lively childhood recol-
lection of seeing splendid ears OF
sound corn put into a stove and of the
intense heat IL gave when 1t finally
burst into complete conflagration.
Corn is good fuel But corn Is food at
time when millions are starving, not
only because they are cut off from
food supplies by reason of lack of
transportation facilities but because
there is not enough food In the world
to feed all its people.
When strike causes destruction of
food in time of famine those who
are responsible are guilty of treason to
humanity.

AGAINST A LABOR PARTY"
tCedar Rapids Tribune Uabor. u

lCedar Rapids Tribune (Labor.)1
Radicals and semi radicals, theorists
and conservative labor men alike are
launching a labor political party in
Chicago this week. This is shown by
the widely diversant trend of thought
as expressed in the declaration of prin-
ciples. Our radical red friend Max
Hayes. of the Cleveland Citizen, Is
presiding. Max is well known in In
ternational Typographical Union cir
Giles and has never been known to
agree with any person in that organ
ization during his long and varied
career. He is an anti Gompers man,
always has been and always will be-
He is anti-everything. in fact, and is
living Illustration Of a man who is
cross-wise mentally with the world at
large. He would assume the same po-
sit!on with a world OF his own making
and designing. But aside from Max
and those who see merit. for various
reasons, in a political party we cannot
subscribe to their theories because we
stlll believe that Gompers was right
when he decried such a movement at
the Atlantic City convention in June.
He proved conclusiveiy that more has
been accomplished in this country
many times over by labor in a legisla-
tive way thru the parties as they exist
than had been gained in England,
where a labor party had brought dis
cord and but little In the way OF con-
crete gains to organized labor thru
party of its own.
AS an illustration we would asS
what could union labor accomplish in
Iowa thru the direct medium of labor
party. We must acknowledge, IL we
are honest with ourselves. that we arc
in the hopeless minority even tho every
union man and every card" man
would vote the straight labor ticket
We would suffer defeat overwhelming
". Opposition party candidates. in
sured Of election. would pay no heed
to pre- election pleas. Upon taking
office they would reject all demands
from our Legislative Representatives
and sinform them that they represented
the majority that had rebuked organ
lied labor at the polls when Its candi-
dates went down to defeat We would
win nothing and lose everything. The
same conditions would apply to nearly
every state In the Union and a presi-
Dental ticket would suffer like fate.
Union labor may hold the. balance of
power at times IN certain elections II
1t rightfuliy utlizes that power. In
attempting to become the dominant
factor thru third party 1t sacrifices
that power In the fulfllment Of a the
ory-and theories never work out in
politics. that are ever based upon prac-
teal methods and results. We might
add that the majority of American
born union men will not indorse the
platform as whole that Is laid down
In Chicago. 1t has its good features
and many bad ones. With the average
citizen, who IN the past has been
friendly to the cause Of union labor as
expounded by the A. F. Of L.. at pres
ent hostile because OF the many up
heavals and individual discomforts ne
is now enduring" the fate OF the new
labor party is as clearly written in the
annals of history as tho the test had
been made and the results were known.

The public should be relieved OF as

A MINERS TESTIMONY.
fDes Moines Capital1


Editor Q. H. Seifert, of the FAR
tield Tribune, formerly lived in Eddy
Vile and is somewhat familiar with
the coal business and he writes almost
a page in his paper on that subject.
He says he has seen the price of soft
coal advance from $3.50 to 81 per ton
before the war, to $3.50 during tho war
and he realizes that 60 per cent raise
as requested by the miners would
bring visions OF 50 and $40 per ton for
Iowa coal.
He also touches on the idleness Of
the miners a good part of the year be-
cause there are too many miners for
the little work that is demanded. He
says the operators do not want their
forces cut down because they want the
house rent every month. He relates
that formerly the companies made 4
profit on the. company stores and on
the sale of powder.
Mr.. Seifert says he asked the miners
why they wanted the thirty hour week.
The answer was I'VE want steady
work AS 1t is now we have an eight
haur' day and five and half
day .week-forty-four hours, and we
work one day, two days, three days a
week, or sometimes full time. bdepead-
Ing entirely upon the operator Since
the armistice was signed a year ago.
ne have not averaged half time, and
thirty hours q week is eight hours a
week over half time. With thirty
hours a week all the year around We
can produce all the country needs"
The next query by Editor Seifers
was: why do you want 60 per cent
increase In pay?" The answer was:
Before the war We received 81 cents
ton for digging coal. mine RIM.
Then we were advanced to's7 cents
which we accepted with the. under
standing that the operators were ia
contract their coal at $500. Der ton.
IN the Des Moines district the miners
got seh cents per ton and the opera
tors are charging the miners 50 to
$3.50 per ton today for the coal the
miners use" -,
Mr. Seifert continues to quote from
the miner as follows: We are asking
the raise because everything We use
had gone up in price. Powder Is -
per kee and I have used as much as
SO worth In two weeks. -Dyni-
mite IS 10 cents per stick. Fuse
has jumped from IS cents to - pei
hundred feet. 1t costs US about ~
cents per day to hire blacksmith tc

Fighting the reds and the coal nun

nish plenty of excitement for sick

With goods so hard to get and so
high in price why not give war saw

A man may have a right to quit

working in coal mine but what
would we do to the engineer at the

After the workmen had cleared out
the landlord took especial pains to-
show to each tenant the bill for doing
over his fat. The householders re-
garded that attention in different
lights according to the improvements
they had fought for and secured.
Some looked frightened, thinking it
portended a rise in rent, some apollo
getic, some defiant. The third floor
right man was non-committal. Three.
days later he called at the landlords
