POLITICIANS SEEK
TO HANDICAP THE
LABOR DEPARTMENT
(By Grant Hamilton)

If the coming Congress accords
the same treatment to the Depart
ment of Labor as did the last Con-
gress, the Department will be left
in a less dependable position than
before the war. In other words,
Labor gave its loyal and effective
support to winning the war, but
the moment that was accomplished
the House Of representatives, act
ing in consonance with the major
ity report of the House Appropria-
lions Committee, emasculated the
Department by refusal to provide
funds to continue vitality necessary
services.
To meet after-the-war problems
all Departments Of Government pre-
sided over by a Cabinet officer have
very wisely retained services and
agencies created during the war
which had peace time value.
Standing conspicuously is the spec
tacle of the last House OF Repre-
sentatives refusing the Department
Of Labor funds for doing work es
sential for the performance OF
those duties for which the Depart
ment was created.
The Department is the only Fed
eral Governmental agency which
affords any protection to the inter
ests Of Labor, and since its creation
in 1918 II has not been permitted
to expand to deal with ever-grow-
ing and pressing industrial trou-
bles, AS a final and inglorious
act the House OF Representatives in
the last Congress dealt terrific
blow.
This is the brand of statesman
ship that furnishes the discordant
elements in this country with the
material to carry on their nefarious
propaganda. The heart and mind
Of Labor in America is sound, but
the hostile influences that secretly
are conniving to crush Labor may
discover too late that Labor has
rights that are entitled to protec-
ton. The coming Congress may
with profit reverse the reprehensi'
Bile action taken by the last House
Of Representatives.

ULTIMATE END OF
TRADE UN|ON|SM

CINCINNATI, April Sit is i'm
possible to mark out in blue print
form the ultimate aim OF Trade
Unionism, declares John P. Frey.
editor OF the International Molders'
journal, In an editorial on Indus
trial Democracy.
ut would be as appropriate to
ask the question, What is the final
goal OF q democracy" says the
labor editor.
The most practical answer
would be, to secure equality of OPP
portunity and even-handed justice
for all citizens and protect them in
their right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
"A democratic form of govern
ment, because it supplants arbitra-
ry government and arbitrary au-
thority, enables the people as a
whole to work out their problems
as they arise.
we cannot see the ultimate re-
suits of a democratic form of gov
eminent, but we have just shown
ourselves-as a nation-willing to
make the greatest of sacrifices in
order that the privileges of enjoy
ing this form of government shall
not be interfered with or over
thrown by autocracy and the mill
tarism upon which this rested.
I'VE cannot know what the ulti-
mate end Of trade unionism will be.
We cannot foresee all of the prob
lens which will arise within COM
MERGE and industry affecting the
workers, but We can thoroughly
understand the principle which we
ewill apply to their solution, and
that is the principle Of democracy
in the relationship of employer and
employee, equal in its effectiveness
to the democracy which exists in
the relationship of citizen to citizen
and citizen to the nation.
Democracy is the opposite Of
class rule, class rue is the rule Of
one group over another; the formu-
lating of rules by one group which
other groups must obey"

DIRECT BUYING IN !:
FIELDS IS URGED
Growers Move to Estimate Middle
man-Plan Warmly Cheered By
British Spinners-Planters
Would Have Spinners Agents
Come Direct to Grower to
Buy Cotton. :

New Orleans, Oct. 15.-British
cotton spinners were urged today to
send representatives to the fields Of
the South, buy cotton from the farm
er direct, bale the staple as they see
fit, eliminating all middlemen and re-
ducing the cost Of the raw material
to the spinner, at the same time in
cressing the price paid to the pro-
dpcer.
This proposal, along the lines Of
the systems used by the British tobac-
CO manufacturing interests in Ken
lucky, was made at meeting late
today Of special committee Of world
cotton conference delegates, compos-
ed of ten foreign spinners, ten Amer
lean spinners and twenty American
cotton growers.
It was the first time in fifty years,
it was stated, that American cotton
producers and British spinners had
met in formal conference.
Declare Success Assured.
The meeting, which brought both
ends of the cotton industry together,
assured the success Of the confer
ence, leaders stated tonight. =
Speakers agreed that no arbitrary
price could be fixed for any given Pc
riod for cotton, owing mainly to the
tremendous fluctuations in the a.
mounts Of cotton picked in relation
to the amount planted in different
years. ......
Conditions Of weather and of insect
deprecations made is impossible, it
was stated, to set an advance price
on the staple, as the growing costs
cannot be estimated until the crop
has been garnered and ginned.
1t was agreed by speakers, how
ever, that profits were being made by
middlemen who had no direct interest
in the growing, spinning or manufac-
turing branches of the industry, the
consumer having higher prices to pay
for the finished article than would be
necessary under strict regulation Of
the industry.

PRESIDENT WILSON HAS
GOOD NIGHT AND
STILL is IMPROVING

Washington, Oct. 15.-President
Wilson had a good nights rest, and
continues to show improvement, de-
spite a slight headache, said bulle-
tin today by his physicians. The
bulletins, issued at 1:55 a. M, tol-
lows:
"The president had good nights S
rest, enjoyed his breakfast and
aside from a slight headache, contln-
ues to make improvement. The condl-
ton which caused the restlessness
of Monday night, and about which
DIR. Fowler was consulted, gave no
trouble during the night"
No serious consequences are ex-
pected from the gland swelling which
has caused President Wilson much
restlessness in the last thirty-six
hours, according to officials at the
White House this morning. -
The ailment, it is believed, will not
interfere with the general progress
of recovery.
Five physicians are now in attend
ance on the president. DIR. H. A.
Fowler, of Washington, was called in
connection with the gland swelling
late yesterday. The president is re-
spending to DIR. FoYler's treatment.
The cabinet will continue to meet
each Tuesday during the presidents
illness and to plan to carry on the
operations of the government.
At the meeting yesterday, Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson was assigned
the task of averting the threatened
coal strike.

GOMPERS' ILLNESS
LATEST BLOW TO
INDUSTRIAL MEET

Washington, Oct. 15.-These are
critical moments in American history,
and nervous exhaustion has now TAX
en- it's second victim-Samuel Comp
ers, the foremost spokesman of labor.
President Wilson lies i'll at the White
House. Capital and labor needed his
inspiration to bring about agreement.
Now the head of the labor movement
is suddenly subtracted from the con-
ference, Rudderless and still without
a strong enough feeling of compul-
sion to take the initiative in vital
questions, the industrial peace con-
ference moves on partly on hope,
partly on blind confidence that
more discussion will bring something
concrete, but mostly because of fear
of what the public would say if the
conference died collapse.
Every important conference has its
ups and downs. The trouble with
the industrial peace conference really
is not an altogether too steadfast
clinging to respective viewpoints, but
a feeling of ignorance concerning the
extent to which concessions can or
will be made. The big steel strike
was in the background of the minds
of the delegates when they got here.
Labor is disappointed that its sim-
pie request for a committee to in
vestigate the strike situation was
refused. It seemed for while as
If labor would lose all confidence
in the conference because Of that
refusal. But something tangible has
been offered which must keep labor
in attendance at the conference as
heretofore. That something is a def
mite promise to get to work imme-
diately upon a set of principles, in
cluding a court of Cancellation, to
which the steel strike, the coal strike
and other industrial difficulties may
be brought for adjudication.

CLEMENCEAU WINS
FIGHT IN CHAMBER

Paris, Oct. 15.-The Clemenceau
ministry was sustained in the cham
ber of deputies this afternoon by a
vote of 324 to 1872. The premier
thus victoriously emerged from the
bitterest and best organized assault
which the ministry has ever faced.
The chamber adopted the cabinets
policy on the chronological order of
the elections, placing the legislative
elections first, on November 16, and
the national and municipal elections
in that order.
For the first time Aristide BRAND,
the former premier, acme out openly
in leading the opposition forces, but
M. Clemenceau's majority was the
largest he had ever received when
the question of confidence was pre-
sented.
Preparations had been going on for
months for this test of strength, the
opposition awaiting the ratification Of
the peace treaty to make definite
onslaught on the ministry.
Premier Clemenceau had a bitter
oratorical duel with M. BRAND. The
result of the vote makes it positive
that M. Clemenceau's platform will
go before the people, his opponents
avowed intention Of forcing post
ponement of the mandate Of the
chamber having failed. In his speech
M. Clemenceau never was in better
form.

BIG BOND ISSUE
FOR STATE ROAD
Repre e utative Belscr Would Have
s1so,o0o, 900 Used in Ten-year
InstalIments-Goveruor Cooper
Is Retieent-Figures To Prove
That Expenditure Would
Save Millions for State.

Columbia, Oct. 15.-That the State
of South Carolina would save many
millions of dollars annually by tie
fiotation of bond issue of $780,
100000 for the construction of sys-
tenn of permanent highways and
bridges, of which s15,O00,OOO would
be expended each year, is the opinion
expressed by R. B. Belser, a member
.. of the House of Representatives, in
a letter to Governor Cooper.
In his reply Governor Cooper does
not express an opinion as to the
feasibility of the bond issue proposed
by Mr.. Belser, but discusses the pro-
posed highway bill drafted as the re-
suit of conferences between him, the
members of the State highway COM
mission and department, and Thomas
P. Cothran, of Greenville, speaker of
the House of Representatives.
The Governor stated that a COM
panion measure might be drafted for
presentation to the General Assembly
by which the various counties, would
be allowed to vote on bond issues for
road improvement without the neces-
sity of special enabling act being
passed.
Would Prepare Program.
"As you know" said Mr.. Belser's
letter, "T am very much interested
in securing road legislation which
will get US somewhere on a road
building program for the State. If we
are to secure any legislation along
that line at the coming session of the
Legislature, it is necessary now to
prepare program and to get it be-
fore the people of the State so that
the legislators may have an oppor-
tunity to get the views of their con-
stituents on the plan proposed.
It will then be necessary in order
to carry through any comprehensive
plan, to conduct a systematic cam
paign of education to show the peo-
pie of the State the desirability of
ton. In other words, we will need
to create popular demand, which I
know through ten years of legislative
experience is the only thing that will
get legislation through where a
heavy expenditure of money is in
volved.
