orcnnizinc Now Partiea.


TT is recorded that certain labor leaders have
l undertaken the gigantic task of founding
national labor party on a major league
basis and that this new organization may be
in shape TO crowd the Socialists out of third
place in the coming campaign. Almost CO.
incidentally, the hackers OF General Leonard
Wood, the militarist candidate for the pres-
dency, have let it be understood that they
are inclined to abandon his candidacy as
hopeless. These two circumstances have a
common bearing in one direction. At q time
when the labor leaders are proposing to create
straightout labor party, the Wood leaders
become convinced that straightout military
candidate cannot win the Republican nomt-
nation next year and probably could not be
elected. if he should.
Labor leaders fail to realize that neither
personally conducted nor specfal-interest
political parties survive In this country. They
have been tried time after time. They have
assumed respectable proportions more than
once, but invariably have sunk in the end
No party that represents single interest or
supports the ambitions of a single individual
can live on American soil and none such de-
serves to live.
II the great body Of American labor should
weld itself into single political organiza-
ton, 1t would not have to wait FIVE years to
win an election. 1t could nominate and elect
its candidate in 1920. or this there is not
the remotest doubt. And If the 100000
American men who were called to the colors
in this war should resolve themselves into q
cohesive political force, they could dictate
nominations at will and could elect the cam
ddate of their ultimate choice No we'll
informed observer will challenge that fact.
But neither labor nor the soldiery can be
persuaded to play the game that way. The
wage earners OF this country are independ-
ent in politics. They divide along old party
lines just as other elements divide No
group OF leaders ever has been able to de
liver" the labor vote even to candidate who
has stood for every demand labor has made.
Bryan had every right in 1908 to the sur-
frage OF labor. He had promised in sincerity
everything that the workers wanted, but the
"Commoncr did not realize upon his pledges.

doubted that, should he be a candidate for
third term, he would attract any overwhelm-
ing majority Of labor votes. The men who
wear overalls simply do not vote en- masse.
There are Republicans among them who vote
the Republican ticket and Democrats who
vote the Democratic ticket. Nor is 1t to be
assumed that the labor politicians in the
present instance will make much Roadway
with their program for new major political
party. If both the old parties were hostile
to labor; If both were what the Bolshevists
call "capitalistic" it might be different

Pinchinc tho salaried Man

TT is recorded by government statisticans
i that the purchasing power Of the dollar is
not as great as was SO cents two years ago,
and not great as rs cents in 1913 The
cost of the things necessary to the ordinary
comfort OF men and women has advanced by
long strides until what we call the cost Of
living has more than doubled since Europe
plunged into the orgy of world war.
To meet this, wage earners have made and
enforced successive demands for more Tag.
Throughout the whole industrial world this
increase has been made and mechanics, arli-
sans and even unskilled labor today COM
mands, on an average, more than twice as
much money per day as before the outbreak
OF the war. Nor there be sound com
plant against this when the fact Is recalled
that with the higher wages, those who earn
them are able to buy very little more OF the
things they need than they did before
But the salaried man and woman have
received no such advances in pay. Perhaps
few of them have been generously awarded
10 per cent increase. A smaller percentage
may have received much as Is per cent
but it is difficult to find case where the
increase in salaries has been commensurate
with the increase in the cost of things which
those salaries are to buy. The government
itself is fair example OF the neglect of the
salaried man woman. There are nearly
100000 persons on the salary pay roll OF
the government in Washington alone Until
VIC hist year ol the war no thought OF more
money for these civil employees OF the gov
eminent departments seems to have been en-
tertained. Rents, food and clothing rose to
outrageous levels In the capital and yet the

expected to go along just the same, making
ends meet on the old pre-war income Then
came generous impulse on the part of
congress 10 per cent bonus was given to
the civil employees-not a permanent in
crease in pay, mind you-but a pigpardIv
temporary increase.
Private employers have done little better
