Attorney Generals Statement.

The statement of the Attorney Cen
eral. in part. follows:
Eugene V. Debs has filed no petit
ton with either the President or the
Attorney General asking for the exer
else of executive clemency. The facts
in his case are such that until such
petition be made by him [ should not
feel called upon to consider making
any recommendation in his case.
Debs was convicted not because of his
political or economic views, but be-
cause he plainly violated The law of
the land.
"On June 1s. 1918, during the most
critical period of the war. Debs made
which he urged that wageearners re-
frain from giving any aid to the
American nation in the war.
Was Given Fair Trial.
HE was given a fair trial by jury
The charge of the trial judge was
eminently fair, and, on appeal to the
that court, by unanimous decision,
affirmed the judgment of conviction.
Defendant Continues Criticism.
Following the action of the su-
preme Court. the defendant has in
dulged in violent public criticism of
the American courts of justice and
practically defied. the power of the
government to administer the law
against him.
I'm this situation my duty is clear
Respect for the law and our institu-
tions is the basis upon which every
application for executive clemency
must rest. Open defiance of the law
and threat of force to obtain it's or
derly administration call for only one
answer. The law must be respected
and obeyed."

While Eugene v. Debs, the socialist
leader who has been sentenced to ten

the law and the government Of the
United States there is no chance that
the Department of Justice will recon-

Attorney General Palmer, in a state

that the law must be respected and

course which would interfere with

in the case of Debs he would "be do

Little Unemployment Noted.

There isn't much unemployment here.
Those soldiers who want to work are
being taken care of. Unrest isn't very
widespread. Institutions like the
Westinghouse Electric and the Car
negie Steel have won the confidence
of their employees to remarkable
extent. When the United States Steel
spends more than S13.000,000 a year
in welfare work alone, and other big
corporations spend big sums of money
and the time of experts trying to as
certain causes of discomfort and
remedies, bolshevism can't make
much headway. Why. one of the steel
men told me today that the only
trouble with labor that he is having
is trying to impress the workers with
the merit Of the eight-hour day. which
Judge Gary accepted some time ago.
Many of the employees want twelve
and fourteen hour shifts because they
think they can make more money that
way.
AS matter of fact, my informant
says three shifts of an eight-hour
day would mean efficiency and greater
production. "It ought to come" he
said. first, because it's right, and.
second, because it can be made to
pay" I asked him whether he might

Presidents Prestige Wanes.
It is interesting to talk with folks
here about President wilson. I'm
ouestionably he is respected by the
| mass, but he has lost some of the IN
dependent voters. who swore by MN
! in 1916. One OF his old friends told
me that Wilson prestige had deciihed
| largely because of the failure OF the
democratic party in Congress ana ine
| democratic cabinet, over the lnefl-
ciencies of which Mr.. Wilson might
! have exercised a stern hand Much OF
| the bitterness over that ill-fated ap-
peal for a democratic Congress re-
mains, because republicans felt they
lad given loyal support hereabouts
| and that the letter was hardly an eX-
preston of appreciation. Again and
! again / am told that Mr.. Wilson
might have had united country in
peace as he had in war if he had Sc
lected an able republican for the
peace mission. One republican polit-
| ical leader, who says privately that
Mr.. Wilson is one of the smartest II
not the SmarteSt man who ever sat IN
the Wnlle House, says he eau Stop
wondering how the President ever
could have miscued on the selection
of an able man for the peace mission.
Business people here were never en-
thusiastic about Mr.. Wilson's going
away, but if he came back with a
peace treaty that meets republican
objections and gets the pact ratified
soon they will forgive him his abb
sence On the other hand, they will
not forgive him much else till he gets
rid of many members of his cabinet.
Pittsburgh had a lot to do with
Washington during the war and
tasted government bureaucracy and
red tape right along. and the reaction
against the inefficiency and eXtrava-
gance of some of the government de-
partments is rather extensive. Sew
eral men told me they would not
have felt the inequities of the income
tax If they could have gotten over
the feeling that much of the money
spent was extravagantly spent or
wasted.

TO The WORKHOUSE
Union Men Go To Serve The
Sentences Imposed By
Judge Walter S.
Harlan.

Eight of Hamilton's best union men,
eight of Hamilton's cleanest and best
citizens now languish in the Cincin-
natl work house They are serving
80 to so days, sentences imposed by
Judge Walter s. Harlan, who posi-
lively refused to recede from his stand
that the men must serve time in
prison, that is, he refused to modify
or suspend the prison sentences i'm
posed, although he has been impor-
tuned to do so by many of Hamil-
tons best and most prominent citi-
zens. The Judge has taken decided
stand in this matter for some reason
or other, which no power can move
The men were taken to Cincinnati
Monday by Sheriff Pepper and his
deputies. A delegation of local union
men also accompanied them While
naturally they were not elated at the
prospect of laying in prison for a
period of 80 to 80 days, they took the
situation philosophically and expressed
themselves as ready to take the pun
ishment meted out to them for a crime
of which they are innocent and for the
great cause they love so well and are
willing to serve, even to the extent
of going to prison.
Organized labor and thousands of
friends know that a great injustice is
being done in the Imprisonment of
these men and nothing will ever con
vince them to the contrary
Everything is being done that is
possible to do, to secure the mems
release, many prominent and infuen-
tial citizens offering to go to the front
and doing all within their power or
all that might be asked Of them. 1t is
confidently expected that their release
will be secured before Saturday night
In the meantime, everything is be-
ing done for their comfort which the
rules of the prison permit. We might
add that the officials of the workhouse
have been very lenient and are allow
ing the men every privilege possible

PrO6teering Makes Reds,
W. G. Lee Warns Congress;
Presents Trainmen's Demands

Washington.-Me Members of Congress
were warned by w. G. Lee, president
of the Brothe hood of Railroad Train
men, to call halt on the excessive
prices charged for the necessaries of
life. He was addressing the mem
bers of the Wage Board of the Rail-
road Administration. Director Cen
eral Hines was present and listened
attentively
II am not a red card man." said
Lee, "but / am coming close to it if
this profiteering keeps up. am sorry
to say | am forced with the tide,
am forced with the current, and the
man who does not recognize it had
better get new glasses"
Lee was presenting the wage de-
mands of $4,000 members of his or
ganization These include $500 for
twenty-six days for passenger con-
ductors; SAG for baggagemen and
$50 for brakemen; through freight
conductors, $735 to $8.08; brakemen,
$5.88 to $647; yard service foremen,
$720 to $40; helpers, $500 to $7.10
These rates are for eight hours, with
time and half for overtime.
Despite the claim of the govern
ment and the different departments
that freight rates must be increased
if wages are increased" continued
Lee, "if they would use the same eff
fort and energy to assist in some
manner to crush profiteering and to
stop this constantly increasing cost
of living they would come nearer,
believe, to harmonizing the working
people of this country than we can
by shouting across the table here at
each other
"All Of US are to blame because
we are exerting every effort to try
to get more money for ourselves and
better conditions. And every day we
must realize that the profiteers are
taking double from the working men.
The trouble with the people on the
Hill (Congress), with every corpora
ton, with everybody, is that they are
exerting themselves to get the dollar
While the working man is merely. ex-
isting the profiteer is piling up mil
lions. If a % per cent increase in
freight and passenger rates is grant
ed it simply means so or rs per cent
increase on the commodities that the
railroad is paid for hauling, and that
the consumer must buy.

halt; and / admit to you that until

wanted men that wouldn't see too
much. Incompetent labor was en-
ployed throughout, from the bosses
down.
That for the contractor. Where were
the county commissioners when it
came to employing inspectors who
knew something about this kind of
work Or maybe the commissioners
didn't want men for inspectors that
knew too much or that would see too
much. Were they in on the deal? Or
maybe the inspectors did know lot
but didn't want to see too much Were
they in on it? We are not insinu-
ating, only asking questions.
But this is not the only job that
stands as a monument to non-union
labor in Hamilton and built by the
same company under the same county
commissioners. We refer to the High
and Main street bridge This is an
other beautiful example of what non
union labor can do. For a long time
after the completion of this bridge
it kept the authorities busy filling in
holes in which several automobiles
were found after being reported as
missing.
But that's neither here nor there,
what we would like to know is where
does Hamilton get hers back in this
case? Come on, county commission
ers, maybe you can enlighten US We
want to know
