plan for nationwide strike of

the anarchist nest was narrowed
down to one section of this city.
A nationwide strike of operators of
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph was begun, but the officials of
the companies said that only a small
percentage of their employees left
their posts. Strike leaders main
taihed that between $4,000 and 90
600 men had gone out. but there
was no noticeable break in tele
graphic communication. They are
striking for higher wages and for
the right to belong to labor unions.

spread to nine cities of the prov
inces in a sympathetic movement,
has dwindled to its point of origin
as result of the vain attempt by
radical aliens to inaugurate a wide
spread campaign for the establish
ment of a soviet form of rule.
The past week has disclosed the
fact that much of the finance for
the propulsion of the revolutionary
propaganda in Canada came from l.
w. w. organizations in the United
States. United States secret service
men have traced some $4,000 of
the money back to organizations of
radical character in this country.
Another package, which amounted
to $1,000, was discovered to have
originated in indianapolis.
That the Bolsilevist agitators,
foreign and otherwise, who organ
lied the Winnipeg strike will be
dealt with in the immediate future
is the forecast of Canadian and
Winnipeg officials. The agitators
are being rounded up.
Mayor Charles F. Gray, of Winni-
peg, made a formal announcement
to the effect that any further street
rioting of serious nature will re-
suit in call on the militia The
number of men for constable duty
has been increased and the city is
asking for another thousand.
Only sporadic attempts at riotous
demonstration have been made
within the week. Thus far the en-
tire strike has been characterized by
an absence Of serious demonstration.
Business in Winnipeg is again
nearly normal and lack of news
from other sections affected by the
sympathetic walkout contagion indi-
Gates that radical activity in those
centres is now hardly worthy Of
notice.

Passing the Buck

"The Buffalo Express" sees in the
hasty return of the wires "scheme
to pass the buck" of management to
the private owners, the Postmaster
General providing that they shall
stand by the rates he has raised.
An editorial in this paper con-
cludes:
"When Congress makes the final turn
over, the private owners may find that,
despite Burleson's msmanagement, they
will be able to get their companies back
into their previous state where divi-
dends were paid. Then we shall not
have increased rates foisted upon us
even while deficits are being made up
from the national treasury.

"The Chicago Evening Post" de-
clares the Postmaster General has
performed zone of the most coward

direction of railroad properties, this

mystery of the "treaty leak"
was quickly explained when
the Senate committee got to
work on its investigation.
Thomas w. Lamont, Of J. P. Morgan
e. Co., representing the Treasury De-
partment at the peace conference,
gave it to Henry P. Dawson, of the
same firm, chairman of the board of
governors Of the League of Red Cross
Societies, who loaned it to ex-Sen-
ator Elihu Root, who loaned it to
Senator Lodge. Having traced the
copy of the treaty back to its source
and proved that there was no bribery
or corruption, it is probable that the
investigation will stop.
Senator Root, who was a voluntary
witness before the committee, said
that the treaty having been made
public in detail by the German dele
gates, who had perfect right to do
SO, it Immediately became public
property and every citizen of the
United States was entitled to sec
the paper. He repelled and resented
the suggestion that he was in pos

obtained by bribery.
Mr.. Dawson said that it was as chair
man CT the League Of Red Cross
Societies that he asked Mr.. Lamont
for a copy Of the treaty, because the
League of Red Cross Societies was
so closely intcrwoven with the league
OF nations. He hastcned to ada, how

Senators to defeat the ratification of

The lIou7o of Representatives voted
to rcd the army to 100000 men

railroad administration instead of
the $1,200,0000O0 asked for by Di-
rector General Hines. The House

Indignation was nothing at all. Imme-
diately after the recent explosion of
several bombs that were part of the
death campaign against public men in
opposition to the Reds, governmental
authorities again made virtuous show
OF activity, but in few days the incl
dent will be forgotten until a new and
probably more terrible outbreak takes
place. Then popular indignation will
boil once more and dire threats will
be uttered against the anarchists, af-
ter which there will be another period
of inactivity. In this way will the gov

tency as an agent of retributive Justice
"One American city after another
has announced that it will not toler-
ate known anarchists. When one of
these culprits shows himself he is
merely told to move on And if he
does move on he goes to another town
or city where he is not known and
continues his plotting and his agita-
ton. Surely it is time that Congress
passed needed laws for the protection
of the United States. Why permit
anarchists to hold open meetings in
New York and elsewhere, flaunt the
power of the government, hatch plots
of murder, and then, after at
tempts are made to carry out these

r. BURLESON'S eleventh hour
dropping of the telegraph
wires on the eve Of the
voted strike of the telegraph and
telephone workers over the United
States has resulted in perhaps as
great an amount of criticism as his
retention of them.
"The expected has happened in an
unexpected manner" remarks "The
Philadelphia Inquirer" which paper
goes on to observe:
"In supplementary statement Mr..
Burleson assures Congress that he has
not really dropped the wires. Oh,
dear me, no. He simply dissolves the
operating board appointed by him in
1918 and directs that the systems again
officials under government supervi-
sion.' In other words he has ceased
operating the wires, but the govern
ment has not abandoned responsibility
and cannot until Congress acts. Mr..
Burleson's statements and counter
statements are a bit confusing, but it
is clear that he has done something
and that something is to release his
hold on the wires.
"The Postmaster General seems to
have been just as much of a success
in handling the telegraph companies
as Mr. McAdoo was with the railroads
just that much and no more. The
former Secretary of the Treasury had
the grace to quit public life. There is
no indication that Mr.. Burieson has
any intention of following his example.
1t is to be feared that he is going to
hold on until the bitter end. Well, so
DC it. Maybe the Burlesons of public
life are part of the punishment we
have to pay for our national short
comings."

~ RGANIZED labor's stand on
u the subject of agitation
and lawlessness in America

and lawlessness in America
was strongly shown in
resolutions adopted at the conven-
tion of the American Federation of
Labor in Atlantic City last week de-
nouncing activities of alien instiga-
tors of bomb plots and their disre-
gard for law and order generally.
This action by the federated work
ers follows close on the heels Of
widespread demand for stringent
immigration measures or more
rigid enforcement of statutes
already in effect. Much talk of de-
portation for the alien radical has
crystallized to the point where
measures have been introduced in
Congress to broaden the govern
ments powers with regard to bar
ring the agitators and getting rid of
those already here. Newspapers
are emphatic in their demand for
action that will get the needed
results.
"Who let them in?" asks "The
New York Evening Telegram"
which paper crisply observes:
"The passionate desire of Kushnarev
and his $4,000 followers to return to
Russia is nothing compared with our
passionate desire to have them 90.

paper says:

some quarters on the theory that at

not the case. The immigration law
of 1917 contains rigid and explicit
provisions for the exclusion of unde-
sirables such as those who now force
themselves on popular attention.
From the statute now in force it
will be seen that Congress has not
hitherto neglected the subject of alien
anarchists. 1t has indeed erected an
elaborate legal barrier against them

hands of the Secretary of Labor and

Make his Test For
Acid Stomach

There are millions of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
Of an acid-stomach-indig sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heartburn |;
sickening food-repeating; painful
bloat and that miserable, puffed up,
lumpy feeling after eating. Many Of
these people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine !;
others have gone to doctors and stom-
Ach specialists and some to hospitals,
but in spite Of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or a
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. If allowed to run on, they
hre very likely to cause a lot Of seri-
ous trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
gout. lumbago. sciatica, splitting head
ache, dizzy spells, nervousness, sleep
lessness, mental depression, melan-
cholia, feeling Of listlessness and

the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS a matter of fact,
