Gompers and the Germans

All the world dearly loves a fighter for a
good cause, as we'll as lover, and most folk
will take grim satisfaction in the way that Sam
uel Gompers is laying about him at the Inter-
national Trades Union Congress in Amsterdam.
There is no mealy mouthed crawishing on the
part of Gompers in refusing to accept the
fabby explanations of the German trades
union delegates that they Gust went along
with German mtarism and imperialism dur
ing the war because they thought they were
fighting defensive war" And in his uncom-
promising attack on this effort of the Germans
to evade their full responsibility Mr.. Gompers
not only voices the formal protest of the out
ragged Belgian workers, but he himself repre-
sents more nearly than anybody else the view
of all the workers of all the Allied countries
who cannot forget or overlook the extraor-
binary sheeplike attitude of their brethren in
Germany, who, like Bob Toombs, loud mouthed
and "invincible in peace" were invisible in
war" and stood by while their companions in
Belgium were actually bound into industrial
slavery in Germany before their very eyes
That they allowed this without protest arms
Mr.. Gompers with case and enables him to
expose this type of German hypocrisy as we'll
as the amazing effort of the Holland extremists
to save the face of the German delegates by
blaming the war on Capitalism" and even
american militarism" What the new group
of international trade unonists need as they
prepare to bury the old international is to take
a candid, open attitude toward facts and not to
spend the time in the mere ventilation OF dis
proved and discredited theories. And it looks
as if Mr. Gompers. whether they like it or not,
is going to hold the delegates to this task

WILD TALK AND ITS RESULTS.

Mr. B. M. Jewell, vice president of the
railway department of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, may be and probably is right
in his statement that any plan to settle the
wage controversy by act of congress will fail.
Wage scales can not be successfully made the
subject of law. But Mr.. Jewell is talking wildly
when he asserts that the shop hands will, I'M
less their demands are granted, "tie the roads
so tight they can not rum" Such threat must
inevitably react on the maker and the men he
represents.
If Mr.. Jewell is sincere in his expressed
purpose, he would very much better serve his
own ends by keeping still until time comes
to act. This is not good time to try bluff
on the American people. And if he wants to
try stopping all industry by general strike, it
might help him if he would prepare by study
ing the history of the American labor move
ment as applied to the railroads. Let him
begin by looking up the record of the strike
of the engineers in 1877; then the fate of the
Martin Irons endeavor in the middle eighties
might interest him, and the "a R. u strike
of 1894, when Eugene V. Debs fell into the same
hole that engulfed Martin Irons There is matter
enough in the history of the seventeen years
here involved to give subject for deep con-
sderation by any labor leader who hopes to
tie up the railroads so tight they can not run.
Quite aside from this, Mr.. Jewell should
keep in mind that in event he we're able to
carry out his phanthropic purpose, his own
people would be the greatest sufferers. They,
like all other large groups of workers, are de-
pendent for their daily bread of the steady
movement of food supplies to the cities. If
this is cut off, starvation faces them. Mr..
Jewell's remarks may be set down as the ex-
travagance of man who is suffering the ef-
fects of hot day, but viewed even from that
point, they do not help the cause Of labor any.

The Tiger Goes Flying.


100! Hoo! Too! Too! This
IL meal Is good" screeched
Judge Owl, gobbling down the sup
per of the circus animals.
Vow! Ow-ow-ow." howled the
tiger from the menagerie tent, I'm

You! Ow-ow-ow! We're all hum

the hyenas, the leopards and other
animals.
Judge Owl, you take that meat

ed Peggy, frowning very severely at
Judge Owl. Those circus animals
need their supper" Judge Owl
winked at Peggy and then winked
at the audience, which had gathered
in Peters back yard to see him.
Il am putting it where it be-
longs" he chuckled. Il need my
supper more than they do because
l am bigger than they are"
The audience laughed and laugh

this. They couldn't understand his
talk, of course, but they understood
his wink and his chuckle as he COB

been in mischief and had run away

Sunday Ice Delivery.

The Bee has won its fight for Sunday de-
livery Of ice. When the ordinance passed,
this paper protested against it, and steadily
since then we have called attention to the alb
surdity of this law and asked for its repeal.
Ostensby intended to preserve overworked
ice wagon men from the necessity of toing
seven days week throughout the hot summer
weather, the ordinance produced the conditions
that might have been, foreseen from the first.
1t shut off supplies to humble homes of thou
sands who need ice on Sunday and yet have no
facilities for storing sufficient supply to last
until Monday. Now that the ordinance has
been repealed, and the sale and delivery of ice
on Sunday is again permitted, it is up to the
ice companies to so adjust their working forces
that men will not be asked to work longer
service steadily, as is done in other industries.
Let US have our ice or a common sense basis.

ow-ow" the scream came again, this
time it was closer.
The crowd around Judge Owl
heard it in alarm.
THE tiger Is loose" cried the
circus men. At that moment the
great, striped body of the tiger flash
ed into view. One great bound car
ried him over the fence into the
yard. Another carried him to the
top Of the coal shed, from where he
looked down, snarling and showing
his teeth.
Meat! Fresh meat" growled the
tiger, crouching as if about to leap
into the startled crowd.
Meat! Fresh meat" cried Judge
Owl. With that he pounced on the
tiger, gripping him with his claws
and bearing the astonished jungle
beast into the air.

on the ice cream factories that are being fur
