THE LAW OF FORCE.

The Kansas industrial court law has
not received due credit for the estab-
lishment Of a fundamental principle
that ought to be generally recognized.
After mentioning food, clothing, fuel
and ira nsportation industries and pub
hc utilities, it reads;
cit is hereby declared and deter
mined to be necessary to the public
peace, health and general welfare of
the people Of this state that the indus
tries, employments, public utilities and
common carriers herein specified shall
be operated with reasonable continuity
and efficiency in order that the people
Of this state may live in peace and
security and be supplied with the neces.
stiles Of life.''
1t further provides that the closing
Of industry without cause by the owner
is a violation of the penal provisions Of
the law and that such closing may
result in operation by the State
Those industries are privately owned,
but since they are the means Of life
to the people there should be some
guarantee that the people will con-
tinue to live In all other states: the
right Of the owner to close his industry
regardless Of the necessity of the people
is paramount except in case Of public
utilities.
In single state the. owner has a
good defense in that the wholesaler
or retailer does not buy. They may
not buy because the consumer does not
buy. The consumer may not be able to
buy because the industry is closed and
no wages forthcoming.
But with national law the criterion
could be made whether the people need
the product. Today industries are clos
ing on every hand. We need the prod
ucts just as much as we need the wages.
But what guarantee is there that we
will get eithers =

WAGES AND PRICES IN
1843 WIDER Than NOW

"An old account book has been I'M
earthed showing prices paid by the
owners of the book in 1843," says the
San Francisco STAR
THE figures given are such as to
make one weep for the good old
days'-until one stumble on an item
indicating the wages paid II years
ago. A pair Of shoes is entered at
$1.37. slippers at 81 cents, a dozen
eggs at 3 cents, coffee at 10 cents a
pound, butter at cents, cheese at
10 cents. lumber at 1 cent a foot and
chickens at 10 cents each. These
were the days when dollars was as
big as cart wheel in the matter
of purchases. But the sad awaken
ing comes when one reaches the
entry: Credit for one days work,
S" cents Fifty cents today would
pay for about 80 minutes labor,
while in .'43 a day probably meant
from II to II hours"

big LABOR TURNOVER IS
COSTLY TO GOVERNMENT

with its present scale of wages
the government is unable to compete
successfully with the commercial
world" said Adjutant General Harris
in his annual report.
The army official insists that the
government cannot expect to retain
its best employees Indefinitely, be
cause, in justice to themselves and
their families. they must accept the
larger opportunities offered to them
outside the federal service, unless
the government decides to readjust
salaries.
Because Of low wages the adju-
tant generals office is merely a
training school for employees, who
leave when they acquire experience.
This labor turnover is most costly
to the government and coult be
avoided by raising wages and at
the same thine securing better serv-
ice for money expended.

I'm SORRY; Twas WRONG"

There may be virtue in the man
Who's always sure he's right,
Who'll never hear -another's plan
And seek for further light;
But I like more the chap who sings
A somewhat different song;
Who says, when he has messed Dip
things, :.
I'm sorry; L was wrong"
It's hard for any one to say
That failures due to him
That he has lost the fight or way
Because his lights burned dim.
It takes a man aside to throw
The vanity that's strong,
Confessing, "'Twas my fault. I know.
I'm sorry; was wrong
And SO. !, figure; those who use
This honest, manly phrase,
Hate it too much their way to lose
On many future days.
They'll keep the path and make the
fight,
Because they; do not long
To have to say-when they're set
right
I'm sorry; was wrong"

TRUTH COMES OUT,

Coal consumers have been gouged
out Of "scores of millions of dollars
this year" because of the high price
Of coal |'as result of the villainous
program forced upon them by the pres
ident OF the National Coal association, -
according to report filed Saturday
last by j. F. MCGEE, of Minneapolis,
former fuel administrator Of Mime:
sofa. .,..
The facts in Judge McGee's charge
were brought out in the investigation
being conducted by the senate com.
mittee on reconstruction. It was also
brought out that the people of the
New England states and New York
were each taxed $17,o00,0o0 annually
in excessive anthracite coal prices
alone. 80
1t was shown that wholesalers also
juggle prices by selling to one another
taking one dollar ton profit. Most
OF this coal never changed hands, as
the deals'' were "paper transac'
tions.'
W. H. Williams, vice president Of
two large coal companies, testified that
prices were increased $1.40 and $1.60
a ton last April Gin anticipation Of
raises to miners,' but he "could not
remember" what the miners wage ad.
vance had cost the company.
Judge MCGEE, who is not generally
credited with "socialist'' tendencies
says that he does not advocate govern.
ment ownership of mines but he is in
favor of government regulation OF
mines.
And that is going a long ways fol-
this erstwhile reactionary who has per,
sistently stood for the government
keeping its hands off business. Blu!
If the results of the government regu.
lation Of coal mines are to be no bet,
ter than we are getting from gov
eInllent regulation OF the railroads
what would be the use? The interests
that own the railroads and the coal
mines usually have more to say about
running the government than the
people.
If the people owned the railroads
and the coal mines, the profit inter.
ests would vanish, and the public
would run these necessary enterprises
for service, in which event transporta.
ton would be cheaper and the price OF
coal would be materially reduced. Then
there would be no incentive for such
special interests to control the gov
eminent.

THE TIME NARROWs.

It is said that Root and Hoover, Wis
iting President-elect Harding this week
at Marion, both urged upon him
the importance and necessity Of bring
ing the United States into the League
Of Nations with such reservations as
will protect the supposed interests Of
this country.
While it is trife early to speculate
on the outcome Of the present situa.
ton a clash is certain to come sooner
or later between the "reservationists' -
and the "irreconcilables." The former
are hoping that sufficient pressure will
be brought to bear on the incoming
administration to force it to consen;
to join the league, or an association
OF nations, something it is not believed
the other nations will consent to.
If Mr.. Harding does yield to the
"reservationists,' how will he square
himself with the "irreconcilables,' -
headed by johnson and Borahs That Is
where the rub will come, and perhaps
the breach.
It will be the beginning of the dis.
solution Of the strange forces which
combined at the last election to return
the Republican party: to full power in
our government. As we see it the
coming conflicts at Washington will not
be so much a series Of contests between
the Republicans and Democrats as they
will be between: the complexed elements
that will go to make up the new ad
ministration in the legislative and ex
ecutive branches of the government.

TO WOODROW. WILSON

Your work will not be vain; for out
of war
Will come the proofs, the CHASTITY.
hideous proofs,
Gathered from fortress, trench and
corpse-strewn field,
Witnessed by myriad wounds and
broken hearts,
Inscribed, in time. on Borrowing
shafts and tombs,
And writ at last on history's calm
Proofs Of the truth you've made the
whole world hear,
Proofs Of the truth the whole world
yet will heed.
When the red strife is but memory,
On new foundation will the nations
build,
And they will take for its chief cor
ner-stone
This stone rejected by the purblind
kings
Canada's trade union membership
exceeds 10000.
In travelling along the path of life
it's a good plan to keep to the right.

FOR GROUP SLAVERY.

historically, there is no difference
between the English employer of four
centuries ago and the present-day
American employer who opposes trade
unions.
The object Of the, two are Identical
but their methods differ.
The English employer did not camou.
flage his opposition to trade unions
He openly declared that they were con.
spiracies. He denied Individual liberty
and thus enslaved the group.
The American anti-unionist would &C.
complish the same purpose by favoring
individual liberty and then make group
slavery possible by court decisions that
the legal act of an individual is illegal
when done by collection of individ-
uals.
The Montana supreme court has
termed this reasoning "legerdemain. -
The American anti-unionist has also
revived the centuries-old scheme of
holding workers to their tasks by max
ing strikes criminal.
One governor in middle western
states, who has harked back to the
time Of Queen Elizabeth, has been
widely acclaimed and was actually seri.
ously considered as a vice presidential
nominee last summer.
He and other advocates of "can It.
strike" legislation are given frst-page
publicity by f'molders of public opin.
ion' who act as though they have not
read history-or, rather, that no one
else has.
These exhorters of liberty refuse to
distinguish between the shadow and
substance Of liberty.
They fool no unionist by their pro-
LESSONS Of regard for trade unionism-
while stripping trade unionism of it's
greatest reserve-the strike.
They fool no unionist with their es,
says on the evils of strike-the workers
too we'll know the sacrifice and suffer.
ing to their little ones when they resist
injustice. -
They fool no unionist by their silence
against wrong and their cutlery when
they are inconvenienced.

"NoRMALuY,, WITHIN SIGHT.

tGetting back to normally" is pro-
ceeding with amazing celebrity. The
most ardent reactionaries cannot find
fault with the situation that has devel-
oped. It could scarcely be more to his
fancy.
The farmers are facing loss on this

and ten billion dollars.
Unemployment is increasing in tho

Of us. It is estimated that upwards
Of 100000 men are hunting work with

Practically all the bankrupts are little

That's an interesting trinity Of
"goats''-the farmers, the workers in

The burdens of deflation are being car

Of several billion dollars. The ships
will be sold at bargain counter prices,
the banks will lend the necessary

the public treasury.
Congress, confronted by unprece-
denied public expenditures, is preparing
to repeal the tax on excess profits and
surtaxes on big incomes and substitute
therefor a sales estax,'' transferring
the burden of government from the
backs of the rich to the bellies of the
poor.
The president Of the Federal Reserve
board petulantly assures congressional
inquirers there is no cause for alarm.

BRITISH LABOR AND IRELAND.

>s~ @S4A A<AoO0s AMI AkS6A&NO.
The British Labor Party has taken
hold Of the Irish question with char
acteristic vigor. A commission headed
by Arthur Henderson and William
Adamson, the recognized leaders of the
Labor Party in the House of Commons,
is now in Ireland securing first hand
information from all classes.
The commission expects to make a
formal report to British labor, but in
the meantime it's members are prepared
to act as mediators between the British
government and the Irish people.
Mr.. Adamson has frankly stated the
position Of the Labor Party on the
Irish question. In a speech delivered
in the House Of Commons on November
II, he submitted the following proposals
on behalf Of his labor colleagues:
First, the immediate withdrawal of
the armed forces of the British Grown
from Ireland.
Second, the setting up of an Irish
constituent assembly by proportional
representation to draw up a constitu-
ton for Ireland-this constitution to be
accepted by the British Crown, what
ever it may be, always, of course, safe
guarding England from military and
naval menace.
In commenting on Adamson's sug.
gestion the Daily. Herald, organ of the
British labor movement, says: "This
proposal involves the absolute recogni.
ton Of 1reland's right to choose what.
ever form of government it desires for
itself-TO BE AN INDEPENDENT

HOW TREASURY rs LOOTED.

In his last message to congress Pres
ident Wilson took occasion to direct
attention to method Of looting the
treasury that has gained considerable
vogue during the past few years. He
protested against indefinite and indi-
rect appropriations that take hundreds
of millions Of dollars from the treasury
without the public: knowing Anything
about the raids until they are "con-
summated.
congressman, by setting up revolv-:
ing funds, divert public funds into
private pockets with less fear Of re-
prisal than were they to openly and
manfully tell the people what they are
doing.
If, when the Cummins- Esch bill was
under consideration, it had provided
that billion and quarter Of dollars
were to be taken from the treasury
and given over to the railroads, there
would have been an outcry even. from
quarters that supported that Ubiquitous
measure. It would have been q. very
brave and defiant newspaper that could
have advocated any such procedure.
Congress, however, saved itself and
its newspaper defenders from embar:
rassment by not STIMULATING any certain
sum for railroad account, providing
simply that whatever sums might be
needed or demanded they should be
paid by the treasury.
Now President Wilson tells us the
effect Of such legislation. The rail-
roads, since being returned to private
ownership, have got $6oo,ooo,0oo from
the treasury. during the next month
or two they will take an additional
$3.50, 100000. -
That makes billion and quarter.
That is what We are paying for legis-
lative folly. That is the penalty i'm
posed upon us for permitting congress
| to sacrifice the national welfare and
disrupting the transportation system.
During the past four years many
billions of dollars Of taxpayers money
have been squandered or stolen because
congress made it easy for the crooks
and incompetents to get away with
huge sums without a proper accounting.
They enacted carte blanche appropria-
tons that permitted every: Tom, Dick
and Harry to execute vouchers, and
treasury officials had no option but to
pay the money.
The president insists that appropria-
tons should be specific, that the public
may know the purposes for which it's
money is expended. Since he cites the
sums secured by the railroads as illus
.tration for his point, the assumption
is that he regards this transaction as
the most brazen of many similar in
roads upon the treasury.
1t Is unlikely that he called atten-
tfon to- that misdirected billion and a
quarter merely because it happened
to first occur to him. In common with
others of his countrymen, he must con-.
slider it the most shameful betrayal of
the public welfare that is to be charged
against a congress that is VIGOROUSLY
recreant to it's trust.
