Marching Into Hungary.
A strong Bolshevik army is reported
marching into Hungary to free" the
countries from allied occupation. The
first clash may occur at any moment.
One of the gravest dangers lies in the
comparative isolation of the Czecho-
Slovak army. Lenine's propaganda
has been feverishly at work in its
ranks, the burden of its argument
being that the allies were not truly
its friends but merely tried to use 1t
as their tool. Yielding to these whis-

The supreme consideration In the

the people must protect themselves
from disaster thru strike OF work

they have protected themselves from
disaster In crowded theaters, hotels

this strike with the mercury at 20 be-

extreme thrift In fuel Is even greater

MAKE ITEM unlAwru, IN FACT AZ IN wpap

The Des Moines Capital has arrived
finally at the conclusion that strikes
by those emp,tyed, upon necessary
public utilities should be prohibited
and other means arranged for the
settlement Of disputes"
We are in favor Of unions and want
them to continue, but We do not want
any set of mon TO have II in their pow
er to stop the industries OF the United
States and put the homes of the people
into freezing condition. Such author
ity should not be delegated to any in
dividual.
A national jury of fifteen should be
created 70 settle all wage disputes.
We do not suggest this as trick TO
give the capitalists "a chance to out
wit the workers. We suggest 1t as a
commonsense remedy for the foolish
ness which the American people have
been experiencing for the past month.
A nation so silly would scarcely have
the vitality to endure.
We submit orr disputes to jrries.
The question Of wages should be TAX
en- out OF the realm OF IofSe ana put
into the realm of reason.
We trust the members of congress
may have enough courage TO take ac-
ton. Such action would be in the in
terest Of justice and In the interest Of
the labor unions themselves.
The T.-R. has argued this for years.
The public should long ago have as
serted its right as an intervenor and
sufferer.
But at the bottom Of II all the con-
troversy rests upon the fundamentzi
