That may make us ''prejudiced," and
less convinced of the truth of the
theory now advanced by MIR. Com
lpers that it lis 10 months of republi-
can congress and not six years of a
national government democratic in
all branches, that is ITO be held re-

democratic paruisans promised in
1912 and 1916 to eliminate if entrust-

MR.. GoMPERs AS A DEMOCRATIC
PARTISAN.
National Republican,

| Bvery two years Samuel GOmpers
gets into action as a democratic poll
pician. No matter what the democrat
ic panty HAS done, he is always for it
no matter what the republican party
has done, he lis always against it,
That has been his course ever since
he took out his naturalization papers
as an American citizen, and even be-
FORE and, as a democratic politician,
that will lbe his course so long as he
remains i'm politics His interest in
the cause of labor, so intense is his
fealty Ito THE democratic party, is al
ways subOrdinated i'm campaign peri
DDS Ito his political partisanship. That
is pardonalble in Mr. Gompers as
citizen, but when he undertakes, every
two years, ito deliver the labor vote
Oversteps the proprieties as the chief
executive of the American Federation
Of Labor
In line with this policy of every
where and always being "a consistent
democratic partisan, Mr.. CaOnpers
makes violent assault ON congress,
in line with that being conducted
everywhere by democratic organs, in
the American Federationist. He de-
clares that the country must get hid
of a Mo congress,--in other words.
a congress THAT declines Ito take its
orders at an times from the White
HOuse-and substitute a Yes" con-
gress.-a rubber stamp affair of the
kind that flOurished on Capitol Hill |
for six years and got the affairs of the /
country in the sorry mess that the |
next national administration will have /
TO inherit
OF course when Mr.. GOmperS calls
for Yes" congress he is assuming
that there wTll always be a democrat
I'M the White House. If there should
be a republican congress. Mr.. Com
Ders and every other democratic poll
tician would be wanting the legisla-

BUTTE TO FIGHT 1T OUT ON THE
AMERICAN PLAN.

While the L. w. W. is trying to tie
up the mining industry of Butte, the
radical element in the budding trades
council is endeavorng to accomplish
the same purpose in that strike-r ridden
city. Both are doomed TO failure for
the unreasOning arrogance of the
leaders of both aggregations has stir
red the spirit of Americanism that
no wappears determined to brook no
interference with the full and free ex-
ercise of the rights of every citizen.
For several months the Butte assOci-
ated industries, which includes prac-
tically the entire business community,
has been endeavoring to work out a
satisfactory wage SCALE with the vari-
GUS unions which are affiliated in the
building trades council These unions
are the plumbers painters. bricklay-
ems, iron workers aathers. plasterers,
hod carT'ieI's timers and inside cleo
trical workers. In a statement ito the
public the associated industries say
that lit was believed possible to estab-
lish amicable relations with the unions
Through negotiation and a prolonged
sincere effort has been made to that
end by representatives of the employ
ers. 1t WAS suggested that the de-
mands made 10y the unions be held up
until a committee from each side could
meet and discuss them. This sugges-
tion met with IAN absolute and com
plete refusal on The part of the bust
ness agents ito defer THE execution of
their plans even for a limited period"
In that situation the only alternative
was ito adopt the american PLAN"
which was prompt ydone, and the
principles to which THE Butte employ /
ers will adhere follow:
Il THAT the constitutional
right of every workman ito seek
and find employment and thus
provide for his family upon terms
and conditions mutually saItisfact-
DRY to himself and his employer
must not be denied or abridged.
-. That in all Industrial and
business relations. the public well
fare must be regarded.
''3. Tfat there must be aibsol-
ute fairness to all classes of
worlmen, whether union or nom
union, and justice to employers.
a. That there shall be no dis
elimination against any workman
on account of his a hation or
non -affiiatiOn with any labor or
ganization and that any act, CO.
ercion. intimidation or force from
any source whatsoever applied
against employer and employee en-
gagged in lawful pursuits is funda-
mentally unjust. vicious and I'M =
American. ~
IS. That the right of employees "
to organize for lawful purposes
must not be disputed and that the =
same privilege should be given to -
employers.
&c. That THE employee has the
right to leave his employment and ~
the employer has the right TO en- "
gage or discharge his employees. y
-. That the contracts should %
be faithfully observed by both
parties W
IS That any plan contrary to
these principles is repugnant to W.
institutions" D'

However. he seemed to be in the
best of spirits today when he start
ed on his journey South.
He was assisted down the steps
of his home to a waiting motor
car, but this was not because. of
his weakness. but rather to keep
him from slipping on the snow. The
cardinal expects to be in the South

DRYsTO FIGHT
LIBERAL MOVE
Wheeler Says Attempt ol
Vets to Modify Volstead
Act Will Fail.

The Antisaloon League will make
a fight within both the Democratic
and Republican parties to prevent
adoption of a plank for modification
of the Volstead enforcement act.
according to an announcement yes
terday by Wayne B. Wheeler, gen.
eral counsel of the prohibition or
ganization.
Reports which have reached
members of Congress in recent days
have indicated--a decided reaction
against nation wide prohibition,
and there has been a tenden ncy
among political leaders to feel out
this movement to determine the
practicability of declaring in the
party platforms for light wines and
beer.
ANY political party that puts a
plank into its platform to repeal a
part of the Constitution with this
backing will meet with overwhelm-
ing defeat" is Mr.. wheeler's answer
to this movement. Even wet lead
ers admit they cannot elect two
thirds of Congress to resubmit the
question this next year"
MIR. Wheeler also said that the
defeat in the courts of the fight for
a referendum on prohibition in Col
orado meant that this phase of the
wet" battle had been lost, as thir-
ty-seven States had decided against
or were not able under the law to
hold a referendum on the matter.

KELLOGG IN ATTACK

Fight.
KELLOGG IN ATTACK
BY ROBERT T. BARRY.

The Senate will vote this after
noon on a substitute reservation pro-
posed by Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitch
cock, which Republican Senator's re-
gard as a textuaI amendment to the
treaty of peace. On the wording of
this reservation and the possibility
that it may be supported by the
Republican sirreconcilables is based
the charge by Senator Frank b.
Kellogg, Republican. of Minnesota.
that Hitchcock ard Senator William
E. Borah have entered into an .'un-
holy alliance" to defeat the treaty.
Charge Expected Again.
Reiteration of the Kellogg charge
may be expected today. The Senator
from Minnesota has stated that
adoption of the Hitchcock reserva-
tion would require resubmission of
the treaty and that he would not
vote for ratification were It adopted.
Senator Irvine L. Lenroot. of Wis
consin, and other mild reserva-
ton" Republicans feel the same way
about it.
The further charge is made that
Hitchcock will seek the support of
Administration Democrats for his
reservation in the hope that the ir-
reconcilables' vote would give IL a
majority. Then, it is argued, he
would have something as obnoxious
to the Republican reservationists
as the Lodge reservation on Article

VIENNA OIL SUPPLY
HELD UP IN POLAND

Vienna, Feb. 2a.-Owing to the re-
fusal of the Czecho-Slovak authorities
to grant the necessary transit per-
mits for tank trains. Poland is being
prevented from executing contracts to
supply German-Austria with gasoline
and heavy oil for fuel.
The refusal for which no reason is
given, places Vienna in a critical po-
sition as only two or three days stock
is left. This is forcible illustration
of the obstacles constantly impeding
the trade relations Of the new states
with German-Austria and between
themselves.

JOHN T. KING
IN FLORIDA
Former Manager of Gen,
Wood Confers With
Pennsylvania.

Stuart. Fla, Feb. 2s.-Under the
influence of the warm sun and the
genial climate. United States Sem
ator Penrose is showing some i'm
provement in his condition. He is
able to take a short walk around
the grounds of the bungalow up at
the High Point Gun Club, near Sew
all, where he is staying.
AS the Senator improves, the poll
ticians who are sojourning in Flor
ida seek his company. Early in the
list of callers was John T. King, of
Bridgeport, Conn, member of the
National Republican Committee.
They have renewed the friendship
which was broken four years ago,
when King insisted on too much
recognition for the Roosevelt inde-
pendcnts.
The visit of Committeeman King
is of more than ordinary interest,
because Mr. King recently retired
as manager of the campaign for
Gen. Leonard Wood for President.
Kings friends claim that his influ-
cnce is so great among the strong
followers of Col. Rooseyelt that he
is enabled to control 100, if not
more, delegates to Republican ma
tional conventions who would fol-
low his leadership.
The conference between the two
was so interesting that the Connec-
ticut committeeman was requested
to return on next Tuesday or We'd
nesday and participate in a dinner
at Senator Penroses bungalow at
which some other leading national
figures will be present. -
The Connecticut committeeman
refused to discus why he quit Gen.
Wood after declaring that he was
sure to win the nomination. After
the dinner next week by Senator
Penrose, Mr.. King will go North and
straighten out mis- lines and also
carry the news from the Penrosc
bungalow as to hoy the Senator
feels on the Presidential situation.
