NON-PARTiSAN LEAGUE

It is a characteristic of the latest radical political movements through out the world that they simply re place the autocracy of a small class by the more general tyranny of 8 larger class. It is az true of the non. partisan league movement in this country as it is of the Bolshevist movement in Russia. The leadcrs and their followers have no true con. ception of liberty and democracy This is sad commentary on the thousands who have joined the non- partisan league in some of our states because it means that Americans, who should know that class rule is auto- cratic rule, are protesting to believe that through the non-partisan league tfey are giving effect to American ideals. AS a matter of fact they have drifted away from the old American moorings of democracy and have set sail upon piratical cruise of social ism.
 The session of the North Dakota legislature which has just come to an end enacted into law the entire so- cialistic program and the governor, minion and catspaw of the league, has approved the legislation.
 Perhaps the most clearly un-Ameri- can law Is that which provides for the state newspapers. A law was enacted te provide revenue for strong non- partisan league paper in each county. The bill provided fer one official paper in each county to print all court and public notices. state reports, etc. No other paper can obtain printing of this class. A state printing board domin- ated by the league will designate the official papers. It is estimated by members of the league that at least $6.00O annually will accrue to each league paper and they admit that the law eventually will drive out of ex- istence most of the opposition press by killing at least 200 weeklies.
 In their hypocrisy the leaders de- clare that the papers are instituted to offset misrepresentation which has

wards In threshing so that there will
be steady employment at least until
the ground freezes. He estimates that
no less than an army of 100000 extra
harvest hands are needed this year.
AT this particular moment, in view
of the existing world shortage of food
in my opinion this army of harvest
hands is equally important as the ar
my Of occupation on the River Rhine.
Considering the unemployment that
exists, right now. in localities where
population is thickly congested, it is
unthinkable that the federal govern
ment would withdraw it's support from
the U. S. Employment service which
has the machinery capable Of prevent
ing disaster during the emergency of
the next few months.
Surely those who seek to DESTROY
the effectiveness of the employment
srvice would not contribute toward the
destruction Of one single bushel Of
wheat and in the light Of these facts
I cannot but help predict that con-
gress will include an ample appropria-
tion in the Sundray Civil till for con-
tinuing an effective service during the
| next fiscal year.
II am presenting you with these
facts in the hope that they will help
correct some Of the misapprehensions
concerning the wisdom in continuing
the employment service which al
though, like many emergency organ
| izations, suffers from some isolated
| imperfections, still has it's task clearly
ahead in wrestling with the problem
of relocation IF labor, not only for
economic reasons, but also in the in
terest of conserving the visible supply

Asserting that the successful har-
vesting Of the enormous wheat crcp
in the middle west is largely depen-
dent upon an army of 100000 extra
harvest hands recruited, modified
and directed by the United States En-
ployment service, Senator Capper OF

Secretary of Labor Wilson deploring
the persistent propaganda which seeks
to destroy the service and declaring
that it is unthinkable that congress
will not include provision for ample
funds in the sundry civil bill for the
continuation Of the employment serv-
ice during the coming fiscal year,
which begins July 21st.
The letter reads in part as follows:

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Refusal
of Postmaster General Burleson to OBJ
serve the postal eight-hour law is
inflicting hardships upon postoffice
clerks and depriving former soldiers
and sailors of an opportunity to get
employment. The statement was made
by Gilbert E. Hyatt. president of the
National Federation of Postal Employ
es in a speech in this city.
I'm the city of Minneapolis" he
said, 1--WE have the spectacle of
postoffice clerks being worked 10

begging quarters and dimes from pas
sengers in front of the postoffice. Our

MISSOURI CLAIMS THIRD
BEST COMPENSATION Law

ST. LOUIS. June 26.-In an ad-
dress to the central trades and labor
union President Wood of the Missouri
State Federation of Labor declared
that the compensation law passed by
the last legislature is the third best
compensation law in this country.
The unionist explained that where
an employer is forced to go to court
delayed payment draws per cent
interest. This, it is believed, will
make court procedure unattractive to
employers. The waiting period for in
jured employees is one week, and he
secures this one weeks pay if he is
kept from his employment for six
weeks.
The fight for this legislation has
been long one and its successful
ending has finally placed Missouri in
the front rank Of compensation law
states.
