OF the letter was the letter s.T" In
side a diamond shaped design. One
of the senators asked whether Swift
thought the letter ".,' To- could possibly
stand for "Tumulty." Swift thought
it did not. He denied that the letter
came j.. from Thomas F. Logan, the
social lobbyist who got $4,000 a
year from the packers for mysterious
advice" t." ~ ~ - -
Unemployment Grows.
But most issues are less serious
just at this moment, than the issue of
unemployment, complicated by, the
fact that more than million men
have been released from the army and
navy. Both Democrats and Repub-
licans are worried by the scraps of
information that come in from New
York, Chicago and elsewhere, showing
that conditions are rapidly getting
worse.
In New York City, it is estimated,
there are today more than $4,000 dis
charged soldiers idle and either broke
or within few days OF restitution.
In Chicago there are $4,000 negro
graduates of the army camps, wait
ing for good jobs and not getting
them in any considerable numbers.
The copper mines in Michigan, Mon.
tana, Utah, Nevada and Arizona are
gradually closing down, due to lack
of immediate market for the product,
and 10000 men are already idle from
that one source.
Wheat Guarantee Plan.
In contrast to the plans put out
more or less under the urging of the
milling trust involving the appropri-
alton of vast sum to maintain the
guaranteed wheat price, Congressman
Young of North Dakota advises hold
ing up this price in the United States.
He points out that lower wheat prices
in Europe may be chiefly rumor and
that the action proposed by the mill
ing interests would in itself tend to
break the European market.
'The government is not under
pledge" says Congressman Young,
ito restore speculation flour; nor is it
under obligation to help foreign ma
lions to demoralize the wheat and
-four market. If we stand our groud,
the importing countries will come to
us for wheat and our government s
total loss on the years crop will be
SMALL
The government by following his
| plan, declares Mr. Young, would at
most have to make up a possible loss
on surplus wheat and -four shipped
abroad.
Wall Street Patriotism.
Wall streets Black Hundred, better
known perhaps as the National Eecur.
| ity league, has been receiving addi.
tional exposure by the special congress
sional committee. Besides the $780,
| 900 contributed by the Carnegie cor
poration, it has been found that prac
| tically every one who counts in Wall
| street came in with big subscriptions
It was brought out, for instance, that
Immediately after the Bisbee deporta
ton outrage in the interest of the
Phelp-Dodge corporation, Arthur c.
James, it vice president, handed the
Black Hundred $4,000, and again in
1918 another $4,000. AS part of its
school corruption program, the Black
Hundred now announces that history
textbooks are being prepared which
twill present juster account of the
events of It's, 1888, 1912, 1915 an6
1861-65"
What is meant by custer account
may be gathered from the following
statement by one of it's propagandists
| regarding our revolution:
"It is in order now to admit that the
Loyalists had a fair cause to defend
and it was not to be wondered at tina
many men Of the more conservative
way of speaking, should have convinc
ed themselves that the cause of goot
| government for the colonies would
have been better served by maintain
ing the royal authority and by improv
ing the royal methods than by break
ing away into the all-dubious posi-
bilities of independence"
