PROHIBITION AND COPPER.
mining and Scientific Press,

mining and Scientific Press)
Prohibition would not seem to be
connected with the mining of copper;
at least, nobody has suggested that
the men mining that particular metal
come especially under the embargo as
to intoxicants; but we are informed
that prohibition does affect copper
mining in curious way, namely, that
there is great demand for the cop
per tubing required to make stills. At
Houghton it is reported that the de-
mand for copper is coming from every
part of the country. notably from the
states in which prohibition is the law.
Two yards of copper tube is required
for every kitchen plant used in the
of beer or whisky. so
that each still is counted to use $50
pounds of copper However, the pro-
Queer Of copper must not become un-
duly stimulated by this good news, for
Uncle Sam has way Of enforcing his
laws, among which are included
severe penalties for the unlicensed use
Of stills.

States"
That resolution was aimed at the
un-American propositions contained
in that constitution. The fact that a
few of the articles have been rear
ranged, that the method of admission
10 the league Is made more specific.
that unanimous agreement of MEM
bers of the council is required, and
other similarly insignificant changes
and additions have been made in the
first draft, does not alter in the least
degree the menace the document
holds for the principles under which
we have prospered for 140 years. The
signers Of the second declaration of
independence are discerning men. If
ii was their sense that the constitu-
ton as first brought to this country
by Mr. Wilson should not be accept
ed by the United States" they will
take an equally determined stand
against the present document.

WE WANT NO ALLIANCE WITH
ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

Evidently the league of nations is
not the all embracing compact that II
has been represented to be, otherwise
1t would not be necessary for a spe-
cial alliance between three of the
great powers for the purpose of pro-
viding protection against attack from
Germany. Even our altruistic presi-
dent seems to be doubtful regarding
the efficacy of his league, in view of
his agreement to ask congress to ioin
England in giving assurance to
France that the United States will
come to the support of France in the
event of attack from Germany. Re-
calling the attitude of President Will
son when the German army was
hammering at the door of Paris in the
war just closed, it is very natural
that France should want something
more tangible in the form Of guaran-
teed support than the league Of ma
tons, but it will be very surprising If
an American congress will enter into
such an alliance Not that the Am
erican people are Indifferent to the
ate of France, but because they are
to forming any defensive or
offensive alliance with any European
No binding agreement Is
Necessary to secure the support of

ecretary of war who was unconcern-
d because the war was 5000 miles
way. But as the chances for this
ontingency are about as remote as

lany, the necessity for such an alli-
nee does not appeal to Americans

The SAME WILSON WHO KEPT
US OUT OF WAR;

The other day In Paris Presiden
Wilson made speech before tn,
Academy of Moral and Politica
Sciences. the occasion being the pre-
sentation to him of specially strucl
medal, but for what particular servic,
was not stated in the dispatches. II
the course of his remarks in acknowl
edgment of the distinction conferred
the president said:
Whenever we see the cause of
liberty imperllled we are ready to
cast our lot in common with the
lot OF those whose liberty is
threatened. That is the spirit of
the people of the United States"
Was the cause of liberty imperill.
ed when the Huns said the treaty
guaranteeing the neutrality of Bel
GUM, to which Uncle Sam was a par
ty, was merely scrap of paper and
proceeded to lay waste that peaceful
state? Was 1.-THE cause of liberty i'm
perilled' when the hordes of Huns
swept over France carrying death and
desolation to a free people? Was
the cause of liberty imperilled" when
the kaiser's submarine fiends sent the
Lusitania to the bottom, numbering
thousands of innocent people, includ
ing women and children? If so, why
did we not east our lot in common
with the lot of those whose liberties
were threatened?' Because the man
who now gives expression to this
high sounding sentiment said the war
in Europe did not concern the people
OF the United States; because he said
there is such a thing as being too
proud to fight and because his cleo
ton depended upon the success of the
slogan He kept us out of war" The
spirit of the people Of the United
States was all right and they were
ready to cast their lot with those
whose liberties We're threatened the
day that Germany violated Belgium.
But to do so would have imperilled
the success of the democratic party.
hence ''he kept us out of war" until
after the election.

PROPOSE VALUABLE ADDITION
TO POSTAL SYSTEM.

Electric mail' is the latest pro-
posal to increase the efficiency of the
mail service, which is now utterly in
adequate to meet the demands of the
business of the country. For many
years the Telepost a system of auto
matte rapid telegraphy, has been
struggling against odds in the form
OF opposition from the telegraph mo-
nopoly of the country. but in spite of
this the new system has gained much
Roadway and has demonstrated its ad-
vantages over the old systems. Eff
forts are now being made to induce
the postoftice department to adopt
electric mail through the plan offered
by the Telepost as a means of reliev-
ing the congestion and to give the
people quick and accurate commune
cation. This Is not a government
ownership proposition, but rather an
extension of the postal facilities to
include telegraph at rates much low.

RAILWAY PAYROlLS INCREASE
A BILLION DOLLARS.

According to statistics published by
the Railway Age, while the amount
of traffic handled by the railroads I'M
der government control has decreas-
ed, there has been large increase in
the number of employees to handle it,.
The increase of pay of employees
ranges from Al to IS per cent, and at
the same time there has been a large
increase in overtime, and these two
items largely account for increased
cost Of operating expenses. A year
ago the railway wage commission
was apparently shocked at the de-
mands for wage increases, but the
advances now actually made are very
close to the maximum demanded,
amounting to almost billion dollars

STRIKING FOR MOONEY.
(Anaconda Standard)

(AnacOnda Standard)
Those who are agitating to bring
about the release of Thomas J. Moon
ey are now planning three genera
strikes, each to be of five days dura-
ton. The first is to start on July 4
the second on Labor day and the
third on November 10. 1t Is proposed
that the strikes shall involve all the
laboring men of the country who can
be induced to join in the the move
ment, that cessation from work shall
be as general and complete as the
Mooney agitators can accomplish and
that each strike shall cease after con-
tinuing for five days. If these three
5-day strikes fail to secure the re-
lease of Mooney, then it is proposed to
order general strike Of unlimited
duration to continue, with a complete
cessation of labor in all the country
until Mooney is released
These proposed strikes will in all
probability, not receive the endorse
ment of American labor generally and
in any case they will not be success
fui in bringing about the release of
Mooney. The only way that the re-
lease of Mooney can be secured is to
establish clearly and Enthusiastically
the fact that he is innocent of the
heinous crime of which he has been
convicted. American justice is not to
be coerced. The American people
are not to be intimidated or terror
lied. If the Mooney agitators can not
prove that Mooney has been wrongly
convicted and is unjustly punished
then they might as well quit their eff
forts. If they can prove that he has
been wrongfully convicted, then the
strikes will not be necessary to obtain
his release. For the American peo-
pie will not consent to injustice to-
ward Mooney or any one else.
great crime has been committed,
one of the most terrible in our his
tory. A bomb thrown during a patri-
otto parade in San Francisco cost the
lives of many innocent women, men
and children. Mooney was arrested
and convicted of this crime Certain
y the crime was committed and some
one is guilty. The evidence points to
Mooney very strongly. The surest
way to establish his innocence, if he
s innocent is to apprehend and con-
1ict the real criminal. But apparent
y the Mooney agitators are making
10 effort to establish MONEYS inno-
'ence or to bring the real criminal to
Justice. APPARENTLY they want Mooney
even if he is guilty of this
errible crime. And the American
'eople will not stand for that. The
american people and American JUS
ice will not be coerced by strikes or
errorized by dynamite outrages into
pleasing Mooney unless it is estab
shed that he did not commit the
nurders in San Francisco.

a year. However, with fine satire Il
Railway Age commends Mr. McAdt
and others representing the public 4
not paying the employees more tha
they demanded Here are some il
teresting figures and comment fro
the Age
The effects of the changes in
salaries and wages and working
conditions on the railways which
have been made under govern
ment control are strikingly re-
Elected by the statistics recording
the payroll for January, 1919. The
last month Of private control was
December, 1917 In that month the
railways handled practically the
same traffic as in January, 1919
In January, 1919, however, they
had 145,026 more employees than
in December 1917. With the
average wage an employee going
up and the average amount of
traffic handled by an employee go
ing down it Is easy to understand
why the changes in wages and
working conditions are having
such unfavorable effects upon
net earnings.
Computations based upon the
January payroll indicate that in
that month the wages being paid
by the railways were running at
rates substantially in excess of
$900,000,000 year more than
they were when government con-
troll was adopted. Since then 9TH
er advances amounting to about
$65,O00,OOO year have been
made. Roughly speaking, there
fore, it must be concluded that,
assuming that the same number
Of employees would be kept on the
payrolls as in January, 1919, and
that they would continue to work
the same number Of hours or
days per month as then, the ad-
Vances in wages made under gov
ernment control would amount to
very close to $1,000, 100000 a
year. This fact is highly inter-
esting and significant in view of
what was said by the railway
wage commission about year
ago in it's report.
to consider the claims of all
classes of employees. In its report
it said that If all the advances in
wages asked for were made they
would cost about $1,000, 100000
year. 1t recommended advances
amounting to about $300,000,0O0
year, Since then, however, suffi-
cient advances have been mades
actually to raise the total grant
ed to a sum equal to all that the
railway employees originally ask
ed for.
The representatives of the
railway employees have certainly
done very well for their follow
ers. AS to those who have repre-
scented the public and especially
Mr.. McAdoo, to whom the pres
,ent wage scales are chiefly at
tributable, it may at least be said
for them that they have succeed
ed in restraining themselves from
giving the employees more than
the employees asked fort"
