CONGRESS TRYING
 TO BUST UNIONS
 OF FEDERAL MEN
Hitting Labor Now Favorite In. door Sport at Wash
 ington.
SOME RECENT SOAKS
Will Throw .50,000 Out of Jobs to Stop Organiza-
 tion.

Hitting labor in the belly and on tk . head is the favorite indoor sport of a majority of members in Congress these days. Anything that benefits the wage worker is given thumbs down" just as effectually as when Nero made sport of Roman slaves nineteen centuries ago.
 A few days since it was 100000 railroad workers and more than a mill lion organized farmers who received the knockout blow i'll Congress, says Labor of Washington. Last week 1t was more than 100000 civilian Federal employees whose wages were reduced to a sum estimated at $45,OO00O0 by eliminating the $40 bonus from the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial appropriation bill under consideration in the House.
 When section of the. bill, which carried the bonus appropriation, wa reached Wednesday, March 5, Repre- sentative Tom Blanton of Texas made the point of order that it was new legislation, unauthorized by law on an appropriation bill and that it should be stricken therefrom.
 The bonus was granted merely as an emergency to assist our employees during the war;" said Blanton. "It was understood that when the war was over and we got back to normal conditions this should be taken off their pay"
 Representative Baer of North Dako- ta asked if the gentleman from Texas considers that we have got back to normal conditions"
 Well, we are certainly at peace; we are not ats war;" replied the habitual bjector.
 As further evidence of the attitude held by maj ,,rity members of the House toward labor, the appropriation bill passed last week reduced employment funds to an extent that will displace more than 10000 employees in the civil service at the end of the fiscal year, June 30.
 Many of these will be dropped from the department in Washington. In the War Department the present force of $500 and i'll the War Risk Bureau the number of employees will be cut from 15,00O to 7,500. has or will be reduced to about one half the number. provided for in the previous appropriation bill. Representative Wood told members of the House that this would "save the dOOul Cl lIllo same Congress voted private railroad in- terests guarantees and subsidies to the value of several billion dollars.
 A cut of $200000 was made in the appropriation for the Government Printing Office, and as result a large number of employees will be laid of, ,~in spite of the fact that the present force is required to work overtime to meet the governments reuirements for print ing. A feeling of suspense hangs over this big workshop.
 One of the reasons why Congress is making such vicious attack upon Fed eral employees, as frequently stated, is the hope of breaking up the organiza- tions of Federal employees atl1east to the extent of forcing them to withdraw affiliation with the American Federation of Labor.

LIFE OR PROGRESS?
Which Should Determine What
 Workers Wage Must Be?

Shall the workers wages be based on the cost of living or shall he be per mitted to progress? asks the United Mine Workers Journal.
 If the worker were to accept as final wage fixed solely on cost-of- living base, he would be but a degree removed from the position of a slave, says this labor paper.
 If he were compelled to battle day in and day out merely to be able to work, eat and sleep, to feed hungry little mouths at home and to provide enough clothing to keep himself and iamily warm, what opportunity would there be for the worker to develop his mentality, to raise himself from the rut wherein he would accept his position as ihs station i'll life from which he could hope for no betterment? All interests both civic and polite, would be sub- merged by the greater necessity of pro- viding for the daily animal needs.
 If the worker is to be regarded as . man instead of chattel, if his rights are to be safeguarded instead of being violated, then it is only fair to allow hi mthe full prerogatives to which he is entitled"

DAMN PROHIBITION
 VERDICT OF MASSES
So Gompers Tells Meeting After
 Journey Over Country.

Trenton, N. J., March 20.-A pres entation of labor's cause against men in public life was made by Samuel Com pers at mass meeting under the aus pices of the Mercer County Central Labor Union at Taylor's Opera House Monday afternoon.
 Referring to prohibition, Mr. Com pers said there was little doubt of what would happen to the 18th amendment if it were submitted to the people. In his journey through the United States he said he had yet to come in contact with anyone who did not damn prohibition up hill and down dale"
 ''I have not met one man. he said, "who has said to me that he was in favor of prohibition just as it stands today. We are the object of the ridi- cule and contempt of the people of other countries, who cannot understand why 1O0,0OO,000 people have been sub jected to the wishes of a few fanatics who have attempted to make people good by law.'
 He declared that prohibition was an invasion of personal liberty, and said that he was acting "as a barrel to sound the sentiment of organized labor in the matter."i z"
