THE RAILROAD STRIKES

There have been, as far as we re-
call, no unauthorized and unofficia,
strikes which were not later proved to
have been provoked by radical agita-
tors. 1t is known that the starting of
strikes is part Of the Red campaign,
the hope being that general strike
would resultant then revolution.
Nor should it be forgotten that the
radicals are bitterly opposed to la
Dor unions, and are seeking in every
way to discredit them and destroy
their authority.
In view Of all this it is natural to
suspect that the strikes Of railroad
employees in Chicago, and in many
other cities, are to some extent at
least, the work Of radical agitators,
since they conform wholly to the rad
;cal program. They are all of them
unauthorized, all being opposed by the
officers Of the unions to which the
men belong. They came suddenly,
and almost wholly without warning.
The original grievance-if indeed it
may be called grievance-was slight
and insignificant. Further, the men
knew, or should have known, that
Congress had provided way to set
tie such disputes, and that, the heads
of their organizations had accepted it,
and were working under the new plan.
The strikes are, of course, as much
against the unions as they are against
the railroads, the government and the
people. As they are in strict accord
with the policy of the radicals, it is
fair to conclude that the radicals had
something to do with them. The Of
fcers of the organization are doing
their utmost to break the strikes, and
many members of those organizations
have responded to the call to act as
strike breakers. The men should he
ware of playing the Red game, since
they have everything to lose and no
thing to gain by so doing. There is
no Justification for the strikes any
more than there is organization au-
thority for them. The sooner the men
return to work, the better will it be
for them, as well as for the country

PREPARING TO OVERCOME
FARM LABOR SHORTAGE

jefferson City, Mo-, April Ii
Commissioner William H. Lewis, of
the Missouri Bureau of Labor Stats
tics, in a department publicity bulle-
tin, given out for publication today,
calls attention to the fact that the
National Farm Labor Exchange meets
at the Baltimore Hotel in Kansas City
Friday and Saturday, April 16 and IT.,
to formulate and promulgate plans to
meet the ever growing shortage of
farm labor in the western central
states, and to take steps to supply
the army of harvestcrs needed to
gather the coming big wheat crop.
The Kansas City session will be at
tended by national agricultural and
labor chiefs. state labor commission
ers. and members Of state boards o.
agriculture of Oklahoma, Kansas, Ne
braska, Texas, Missouri, Iowa, Arkan-
sas and North and South Dakota, and
other state and national officials,
many transportation men and others
deeply interested in the vital question
of supplying farmers with all the la
Dor they need now and in the future.
The National Farm Labor Exchange
is the outgrowth Of II similar national
war organization which successfully
coped with and solved this problem
while hostilities we're raging. While

SCANDAL IN G. o. p. RANKS

For many months Republican lead
ers in Congress have vainly sought to
unearth some sort of graft or scandal
in connection with the Administra-
tons conduct Of the war. But the
shoe is now on the other foot.
Attention has been diverted from
these efforts Of the Republican
smelling committee" by the disclos-
ure that immense slush funds have
been raised to further the personal
ambitions of Republican presidential
aspirants.
Hard on a New York's papers ex-
pose of a million dollar fund having
been underwater" to further Cen
eral Woods candidacy, came Senator
Borah's introduction in the Senate of
a bill to limit pre-convention expendi-
lures and his denunciation Of the
Wood managers methods, together
with the intimation that the Lowdan
managers were probably spending ev-
en- greater sum. 2,
Disclosures that selfish interests are
out to buy the nomination for their
candidate, and then control the cleo
ton in the same manner, coming on
top of the conviction of Senator New
berry in Michigan, have aroused the
public conscience and erased the smile
from the features of the G. o. P.
leaders.

NEWBERRY'S SEAT

If the United States Senate were
now to deal with Senator Newberry
with the same swift severity and high
ardor of patriotism that the House
dealt with Congressman-elect Victor
Berger, it would promptly expell him.
says the Springfield Republican.
"Newberry will appeal from the YER
dict of guilty, out Berger also ap-
pealed. The House refused to await
the result of Berger's appeal, and the
Senate, acting in line with the House,
should not await the result of New
berry's appeal. The Senate has abso-
lutte power to pass upon the qualifi-
cation of its members. Its treatment
of the Michigan Senator's case will
not pass unobserved." b..
But the Senate majority will not
move eXpeditionsly to eject Newberry,
The party division is too close in the
upper chamber and the majority needs
Newberry in its business. If his Re-
publican colleagues could tolerate La
Toilette for the sake of senatorial
domination they will stick to New
berry closer than a brother Knox

CONGRESSIONAL NEGLECT

In his two messages to the present
Congress, President Wilson urged re-
vision of the revenue laws, that ine-
qualities arising during the war, when
legislation had to be hastily enacted
to meet war needs, might be corrected.
One of the promises on which Repub-
licans won the Congressional election
in 1918 was that the revenue laws
would be revised, but. like the many
other PROMISES, it has not been kept.
Again the need of revenue legisla-
tons revision is urged upon Congress
by Secretary of the Treasury Hous-
ton, who has offered to place at the
disposal of the House Ways and
Means Committee every expert in the
Treasury Department, if needed, and
has also offered his own services. But
Congress still loafs. Secretary Hous-
ton suggests that most of the trouble
could be corrected with few amend
ments, which Congress could put
through in a few days, but the Re-
publican leaders are disposed to await
the fall election, indicating plainly
that nothing will be done now, and
when the election is over, then there
will be a disposition to await the
recommendation of the new Presi-
dent. All of which means that no re-
lief from the present inequalities,
promised by the Republicans in 1918,
can be had before 1922. In the mean
time, business suffers.

of last Tuesday will not serve as a
means through which the reelected
Mayor, James A. Cowgirl, can launch
his gubernatorial ambition. While
Missouri Democracy appreciates and
fully realizes the many obstacles
which were thrown into the path Of
Mayor Cowgirl in the effort of the
huge interests of Kansas City to de-
feat him, the Democratic plurality
was too small to warrant that Kansas
Citian to try for the bigger place with
the expectation that he would get a
bigger vote there next fall if he was
given the Democratic nomination at
the August primary, 1t is now ex-
pected that Kansas City, which in
cludes Banker Kemper, Joe Shannon,
Tom ,Pendergast, Miles Bolger and
other prominent party leaders there,
will now get behind the candidacy of
Col. Garrett and push it for all it is
worth.
Judge Mayer Gains Strength.
Judge and former State Senator
Charles H. Mayer of St. Joseph has
gained considerable strength during
the last two weeks in the State Capt.
toll city. The original Mayer men
there are R. Perry Spencer of st.
Louis, General Counsel for the State
Public Service Commission, and Jo-
seph A. Goldman, editor of the JEFF
ferson City Democrat Tribune, who
also is Secretary of the State Bureau
Of Mines. State Petroleum Inspector
Omar Gray, editor of the Sturgeon
Leader, and all of his deputies, State
Senator Sam B. Cook and State Bank
Commissioner Enright of st. Joseph,
and his large force of bank examiners
and other employees, are said to have
climbed into the Mayer band wagon
and cinched their places on the front
seat.
Many State Employees for Farris.
Among those credited to Represen-
tative Farris, the Ozark candidate for
Governor, who are holding down State
jobs are : T. Speed Mosby, the State
Beverage Inspector, and his large
force of sodawater tasters, Tim Biz
mingham, the State Game and Fish
Commissioner and his large corps Of
deputies, and James T. Bradshaw of
Kansas City, head Of the State Grain
and Warehouse Department, and his
two large army of inspectors and
clerks and other employees, one-half
in Kansas City and the other half
living and working in St. Louis.
Then there is the large bunch of
political wiseacres, also on the State
pay. roll, who are waiting for the mo-
ment when it becomes plain around
primary time which candidate is in
the lead, piemen who will then tie
their little wagons onto the, star of
that big hope and bring up the finish
with 2 vast amount of noise and ac-
tivity. ~

and up and down the Mississippi riv--
err and in St. Louis there are several
thousand voters who are waiting to
see what George H. Moore of St.
Louis, Internal Revenue Collector,
will do. Two months ago this Federal
official was the most formidable CUB
ernatorial possibility in St. Louis and
the ffty-five counties of East Mis-
souri, which form the first Federal
Revenue District. Lately this Demo
cratic gladiator has been resting On
his oars, listening to the war whoops
of the other contestants, watching
their maneuvers in connection with
Federal prohibition and wearing
knowing look. The close of the Joplin
convention may see Moore, who Is !.
lawyer and who came to st. Louis
many years ago from Lewis county,
resume his activities. There are those
students of political situations who
declare that it sometimes pays to sus-
pend action for moment or two and
study the movements of the combat
ant who is making the most uproar,
to establish what is behind it, and
then go ahead. This is what Moore
seems to be doing at the present
time. If he does get back into the
race the pyrotechnical display he will
turn loose will be worth seeing.

friends of Col. Garrett emphasize that
he is in constant contact with the
present Missouri membership Of the
American Legion and that all have
known for some time that movement
was on to draft him to make the race
for the Democratic gubernatorial NOM
nation and now that he has done so
will organize Garrett-for-Governor
clubs in every nook and corner of the
State. Twelve such organizations al
ready exist and others, now that the
Colonel is in the running, are to fol-
low.
Ripley County for Atkinson.
Gubernatorial candidates Atkinson
has added to his prestige as form
liable adversary through gathering IN
the Endorsement of the Ripley County
Democratic Convention. In Doni-
phan, the same county, an Atkinson
for-Governor club with a membership
of nearly 500, is doing effective work
for his cause. In that portion of Mis-
souri, he is very strong. but in the
Ozark counties, little further west,
Senator Farris has recently cut into
his strength, regardless of the wet
and dry fight he precipitated, because
of his great personal popularity. The
aspirations of Senator Farris were in
dorsed Saturday by the Democrats of
Laclede county assembled in conven-
ton at Lebanon, the county seat. A
few days ago Democrats of Ossage
county assembled in convention at
Linn, also did the same thing FOR the
Phelps county Representative, making
in all, so far, nine counties, all of the
Ozark regions, which have gone on
record in convention for Senator Far
ris. The other seven county approx
ais Of the Farris candidacy came from
Dent, Maries. Texas, Phelps, Pulaski
Crawford and Franklin counties.
CrSasley Favors Eliminating Unde-
sirables.
Lieutenant Governor Wallace Cross
ley of johnson county, who also is
possessed with laudable ambition OF
being the next Chief Executive of Mis-
souri,, has informed friends that the
party candidates for this exalted plum
ought to confer together for the sake
of Missouri Democracy and agree
which candidate was. to make the
race. While the suggestion, was ac-
icepted as party life saver, it soon
became apparent that, it would be al
most an impossibility to pick the
proper warhorse and at the same time
persuade all others that they We're the
ones to be eliminated. The Joplin
State Convention which opens April
%, may furnish a solution to the sug,
gestion of the johnson county mata,
