ance, and for the taking over by the
commission that is to direct the nation
al roads Of the administration of the
Federal aid road act. AS the latter act
and its amendments authorize the ex-
penditure Of $2s9, 100000 this proposed
Federal commission would have the
spending of about $70O, 100000.
There is no necessary conflict between
the commission idea and the Federal aid
act, as the $425,0O0, 900 would be applied
exclusively to national highways and the
$289,OOO,O00 to state roads, but the states
are so jealous of their independence in
such matters that it was not easy to per-
suade them even to cooperate with the
Federal government on the planning Of
roads which were to be exclusively theirs,
though partly built by national funds.
1t is feared, therefore, that whatever it's
merits may be it will be impossible to
get through Congress law that will
bring direct national ownership and
management of roads into every state,
especially as the prese1t cooperative sys-
tenn is beginning to give satisfaction.
Supporters Of the Townsend bill main
tain, though, that the time has come
when there is imperative need for great
system Of national highways, built with
regard for national interest and use
rather than for local and state interests
and utility, and that will be as inde-
pendent of local control and interference
tho fo, IS 81
Rome. They say that only in this way
can be established truly national sys-
tenn of roads, as all roads built under
local authority or joint local and Federal
authority will be merely patches here
and there over the face of the country,
without regard to fundamental national
considerations Of continuity, military
usefulness and shortness of through
routes, and without regular and adequate
maintenance and repairs. An effort is
being made to have the Federal High
ways Commission plan made a Repub-
lican party measure, and the suggestion
has been made that triple line of endur-
ing national highways across the con-
tinent, with many branches and feeders,
totalling about $4,000 miles, might be
fitting memorial to the soldiers of the
late war;
A notable fact about the roads now
building is that, taking lesson from the
experience first with the automobile and
then with the light truck, and finally
with the heavy truck and trailer, which
have successfully ruined practically all
the formerly good roads of the country,
the new trunk roads of thick concrete
are costing as high as $4,000 mile, and
probably will average around $25, 900
mile. The donation of 10000 army
trucks to the states for their road work,
as we'll as contributions from the mill
tary surplus of many other machines and
implements that may be used in road
building, is tending to reduce the cost to
an appreciable degree.
The stimulus that is already coming to
the varied industries and businesses that
contribute to highway building or are
benefited by it is so noticeable that it
may result in such a popular insistence
on the further expenditure of Federal
funds on highways that the Townsend
bill or some substitute may yet become
one Of the big and closely contested is
sues in Congress.

A Mighty Weapon''


embraces every i7adividual, unit, Sec
tion, branch and department of indus
try. 1t takes in every creed, color
and nation. From Scandinavia to
Neav Zealand, from Moscow to Vam-
coMver, 1t appears to every aoorAer and
forges q mighty aooapon of freedom.
And here are few of the working
principles as laid down:
Right never did prevail and never
VIII without the aid of might.
Existence is a perpetual struggle;
the weak go to the wall. 1t isn't
the few who go to the wall, but the
weak.
The greatest power in the world
is the power to produce, but it "cufs
no ice" except when it is withheld.
What would happen if labor with
held its power to produce?
Capitalists, priests, politicians,
press hireLings, thugs, sluggers,
hangn'en, policemen and all Creep
ing and crawling things that suck
the blood of the common w0rkinq
man would die of starvation.
The New Morality says;
Damn interest!
Damn profits!
Damn rent!
Damn agreements!
We've damned weH enough to do
TO look after our own damned selves
and our families.
And whatever is calculated to
help ourselves and our class is
moral, good and pure.
What Injuries our class is inn
morals.
We didn't make the struggle be-
fween tic capitalist class and the
working class, but us here, ard It's
osr business TO uphold our own in
ferest if we don't want to 90 under.
The power must be taken from
the p0Lcemar's club!
How? Anyhow!
Why? Because it hurts our class
and is therefore immoral.
The guns mustn't point our way if
they aren't spiked, because they are
liable to go off and hurt as. and that
WcuLd Sc immoral.
So we ls-ust spike fire girs ard
fHIs7 ihcG1 round. Anyhow, because
it hurts our class and is immoral.
If we go on strike we must strike
quickly, suddenly and certainly.
Don't give the boss time to think
and prepare plans. He might get
the better of us and that would be
bad for us and immoral
Strike when he has bio order to

less, and that is moral.
Tie UP The industries in town, ali
the industries in all the towns, in

and THAT'S good for us and therefore

Those who think that our contention is
that all the old variety acts were funny,
and all the present ones dull, have us
wrong. And it is true, as we have OBJ
served that the names of the dull acts of
long ago escape US, And memory brings
back nobody who made us laugh harder
than Frank Tinney can make us laugh to-
day; or Chic Sale; or Olin Rowland. And
fifty years from to-day, when we are try
ing to get away from the office for our
first game of golf, we shall bark back to
these evenings of drollery. And speaking
of comedians, it occurs to us that the pres
ent De Wolf Hopper is even more gifted
and appealing than he was in the days
twenty-five years ago. when we heard the
Old Folks say that he wasn't as funny as
he used to be in the Eighties.

against Old Unions


The agitation along these lines. has
been going on in the Northwest on both
sides of the border, for the last four
or five years, but the One Big Union as
such is brand new, and sprang from
what was practically a bolt from the
Trade and Labor Congress of Canada
three months ago.
The boilers held a convention of
their own in Calgary, and it became
plain that they had with them only the
more radical element of the Western
section Of organized labor. A commit
tee was appointed to draw up a plat
form, which is to be submitted to an
other convention within a few days.
The names Of the committeeman show
the geography Of the movement so far:
V. r. Midgeley, Vancouver, the biggest
man apparent in the movement at pres-
ent; A. Pritchard, Vancouver; r. J.
Johns, Winnipeg; Joe Knight, Edmon-
ton, and j. Naylor, Cumberland, B. C.
The movement, is making bitter
fight against the old-line labor organi-
zations, charging that they have sold
out to the employers, that they hold the
men back from seizing advantages when
they could do 30 by breaking sgrse-
New-York tribune., 1919-06-09

useless officials, and that they are eener
