unph, but there was thorn in the crown
OF roses. Tennessee, his own State had
deserted him. The anti-Jackson forces
were led by Hugh Lawson White, once
his friend, but turned enemy on the bank
question. White had been reelected to
the Senate by a Tennessee Legislature in
spite Of Jackson. SO earnestly did Old
Hickory go into the campaign that he
had articles printed in Washington papers
denouncing White, and then franked them
under his own signature to members of
the Legislature at Nashville What a
scandal If a President should do such a
thing these days
In this campaign White carried Ten
nessee over Van Buren, by more than ten
thousand votes. That was gall and worm
wood to Jackson, and he never could be-
come reconciled to it. Eight years later
he dictated the nomination and election
OF another President, but again Tennes-
see was against him.
No campaign was ever disgraced by
more villifcation than this contest for
the succession to Jackson. The Van
Buren men accuaed everybody in oppo-
dtion, without discrimination, of being
bribed By the bank to be the creatures
of the British Rothschilds, who were
presented as the real owners of the
bank. sNicholas Biddle was attacked

tacks on Jackson and accused him OF
almost every sort of corruption and
wickedness. Van Buren, they assalled
as the creature and the proxy of Jack
son. They declared that Jackson's pre-
sumption In debating his successor
would mean the overthrow Of repub-
lican institutions in America If suffered
to pass unrebuked. They accused Van
Buren, OF being corrupted by Jackson
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1920-09-24

in one breath, and in the next they
declared that it was from Van Buren,
that Jackson had learned corruption.
Another feature of all the anti Jackson
press was the never-ending criticism Of
the Postoffice Department. The Mobile
Advertiser solemnly apologized to Its
readers for not giving them the news
Of the election in Georgia "as no foot
passengers have arrived from that State
and we are compelled to wait for the
mail"
Van Burens Inauguration was the be-
ginning OF the great civic ceremonies
which continue until this day. People
came from every State to see the pa
rade and to cheer the outgoing hero.
jackson followed the example Of Wash
ington and delivered a farewell address
to the American people. Two days later
he left washington and said that hs
went to end his days at the Hermitage,
where he would know no politics. YET
he lived long enough to dictate the eiec-
ton of still another President, and to
once more defeat his ancient enemy,
Clay, for that high Office.

NOW WHO'S
CONSPIRING?
To Boost Coal Price and
Curtail Production?

Indianapolis who is now con-
spring to boost the price of coal and
curtail production ?" asks the United
Mine Workers Journal
"All over the country says this
labor paper, "the people are being
compelled to pay outrageous prices for
coal, regardless of the fact that the
cost of production has not increased to
any apprecitbIe degree Coal is sell
ing at unheard-of prices, but the
wages of the miners remain unchang-
ed All of the increase is added after
the coal leaves the hands of the miner.
Last fall some one conceived the
idea that the coal miners had entered
into conspiracy to boost the price
and restrict the production of coal,
and they were prosecuted by the gov
ernment.
But here, now, gouge is being
carried on with which it would be
wholly impossible to even intimate
that the miners were in any manner
connected
"Who is now conspiring to keep up
the price of coal? Is anything being
done to stop this orgy of profteering :?
mot on your life. Possibly if the
miners could be hooked up with the
affair in some manner some one might
be prosecuted But nothing of the
kind is being done at present"

Gompers' Wage Stand Stirs
Low Wage Folks

Washington recent statement
by President Gompers has caused such
comment as his declaration that the
trade union movement will resist wage
reductions This policy is not favored
by those who are advising labor to
produce more" and who are now re-
minded by President Gompers that in
creased production is not possible
while the American Woolen Company,
the Pennsylvania railroad and other
concerns are laying off workers by the
thousands.
AT all hazards we will resist wage
reductions" said President Gompers.
There is no excuse and much less a
reason for reduction of wages. Even
yet we have ground to cover before
we restore to all the purchasing
power of 1913.
These declarations are especially
distasteful to those editors who have
written ponderous essays on 'Iabors
inflated wage scales" and on high
prices because labor is a Stacker. The
toy balloon of these editors has been
pricked
The nation needs production, said
President Gompers, Employers have
called for production too frequently
as means of driving the workers to
unpaid efforts, and in order to cast
reflection upon their efforts and their
honesty and integrity. There IS no
trouble with the efficiency Of the
workers. There is too infrequently an
equal efficiency and integrity and in
telligence in the management of in

that today lay off thousands Of men

dictment of management and a helm.

LONG HOUR

Develops Sinking, Says e.
S. Public Health Service
Shows Output Great
CT in Short Hour Day

Washington Low speed, wasted
time and limited out put are in large
part the workers automatic defense
against exhaustion and the overstrain
of excessive hours of labor, says the
United States public health service in
survey on the eight hour and 10
hour work day systems.
This restriction of output can not
be attributed to union practice, says
the report, which states that ID the
10-hour plant investigated there were
few union workers. The survey eX-
presses the thought that the slowing
down process may also be caused by
the workers fear that if they exceed
the customary output to any extent
piece rates will be cut, So they win
have to work harder for the same or
smaller return This, however, is
not the important reason,
'The fundamental cause for limita-
ton of output lies deeper it is stat
ed. mo group Of workers could con
tinue, without physical disaster, to
work at full capacity for a stretch of
II hours at night or 10 hours in the
day time, not to mention the three
hours overtime irregularly worked at
the 10-hour plant"
The Investigators found in the 10
hour plant, with its unorganized EN-
ployes, that in many of the opera
tions there seemed to be tacit ac-
ceptance of some fixed quantity as a
suitable output for the day, and this
was rarely exceeded. If, however,
some accidental delay or interruption
made it likely that the worker, pro-
duciag at his accustomed rate, would
not reach this quantity, he could and
did work at much faster rate until
he felt assured of his output.
1t is not suggested that this squirt
could have been maintained through
out the day, but there was consider
able ground for believing that the act
ual output was decidedly below the po-
tentlal output.
"At the eight-hour plant there was
little. if any, evidence of this stereo-
tipping of output" says the report.
"At the eight-hour plant 80 per cent
of average power was maintained until
six minutes, on the average, before
the close of work; at the 10-hour plant
more than 21.5 minutes before the
close of work the percentage of aver
age power had dropped below 90 In
other words, work continued at the
eight-hour plant practically under
full power until six minutes before the
end of the shift; at the other factory
