Govt Fight Against
Veneral Diseases

Washington, D. c., November 22-
Surgeon General H. S. Cumming of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice calls upon all organized groups
to asst in spreading correct in
formation on the venereal diseases.
Since Congress in 1918 directed the
Public Health Service to provide
educational and medical facilities for
the control of gonorrhea and syphi-
lis, the campaign to eradicate these
diseases has come to rank as one
of the major public health activi-
ties.
"To spread this information, says
the Surgeon General" associations
of parents and teachers have been
approached through them all and
through their publications. Letters
and pamphlets have been sent to
all churches and libraries. Editors
of newspapers, fraternal and labor
journals have received material for
publication. Societies of college stu
dents have been asked to discuss
the problem at their meetings. Ro-
tary clubs and chambers of Com
merce have been reached. Efforts
are being made to interest employ
ers in industrial establishments,
and through them to make avail
able to all employers the informa-
tion which the Government offers.

TRADE UniOnists Are
Bulwarks of
Modern DemOcracies"

The trade union movement means
more than high wages, short hours
and improved working conditions.
1t means intellectual development
of the mass. 1t means Independent
wage earners, who carry this indie
pendence from the shop, mill and
mine into the affairs of everyday
life.
And herein lies a major reason
for the opposition to organized
labor.
The trade unionist is interested
in other things than shop condi-
tions. Every economic, political and
social question attracts him.
His collective voice is heard on
education, finance, industry, agri-
culture and transportation. He
fights for free press, speech and
assemblage, and will go to prison
that this heritage is assured.
He creates new public opinion by
his constructive craftsmanship, his
insistence on just relations between
men, and his vigor in exposing
wrong.
He demands that democracy func-
ton.
This type of worker is not favor
ed by anti-union employers, anti
union newspapers, antl-union bus
mess men, anti-union bankers and
their political agents. ,.
These elements want "contented'
workers. They want men who are
thankful for their jobs, who will
permit the boss to do their think
ing, form their opinions and tel
them how to vote.
This is why these elements be
lieve in organization for their KIND
but deny it to wage earners. The,
look upon organization as pro
lection to their power over the un
organized, while a trade union /
challenge to their power.
The stand-pattism of these ele
ments is historic. They never move
until they are compelled to.
These elements want a slave class
not in name, but in fact.
Trade unionism is the monkey
wrench thrown into the machinery
of autocracy and sham.
Trade unionism has established
the first element of democracy in
industry.
In the non-union shop the en-
ployer is absolute. In the union
shop the worker has a voice in
working conditions AS a citizen he
is likewise Independent. Collective
ly, he is the greatest factor in free
dom's cause.
The British statesman, Gladstone,
correctly declared: "Trade unions are
the bulwarks of modern democracies."

Nov. u, 1920.
Mr.. w NJ. Short,
President, Washington State Fed
Grafton of Labor,
Seattle, Wash.
Dear Sir. | certainly was sur
prised at your letter of the 10th,
published in the. Labor Journal of
this city, which was addressed to
all affiliated unions.
SO long as we have men who are
not big enough to rise above per-
sonalities, labor will never get any
where 1t is bad enough when the
rank and file resort to PERSONAL
ties, but when their leaders do these
things, it can be nothing but dis
asterous.
You and all the men upon whom
YOU vent criticism and whose mo-
tives you distrust are strangers to
me- But this much Mr.. Short, his
tory proves that labor's downfall
and degradation is the result of the
jealousy and rivalry of its leaders.
And whenever a leader gets so his
ambition is bigger than the move
ment, his usefulness is at an end,

to the movement.
The interest of the farmer and
laborer is in common. To part COM
pany means worse than slavery
What difference does it make what
men are selected for office? l do
not care if they are all farmers or
all laborers. 1t is not the man we
want to put across, it is the prin-
ciple we stand for that counts
And you, as leader of a great or
ganization ought to understand
that, if any one should.
Get away from personalities. The
man who widens the breach between
the farmer and laborer is an enemy
to both. He is working in the dl-
rect interests of that class who live
upon the toll of others. That is
the aim of this class to array the
farmer against the laborer. Can't
you see it?
Whenever leaders find they can
not agree, if they have the interest
of the movement at heart, they will
resign their offices and let others
be selected that can bring about
union and strength.
am not questioning your mo-
tives or honesty or sincerity. But
you certainly do not understand the
class conscious movement, or you
would never write such a letter as
YOU nave written. You have thrown
down the gauntlet and have chal-
lenged a fight because men you
wanted nominated were not nomi-
mated. What you should have done
was tc have closed the breach and
stood by principle.
This | hope you will be able to
comprehend.
Sincerely yours,

Grand Jury Will
Hear New Facts
In Mooney Case

San Francisco, Nov. 22.-District
Attorney Matthew Brady announced
today he would reopen the Thomas
Mooney case before the grand jury
Immediately.
The announcement was the result
of the alleged charge of Detective
Draper Hand, whJ was active in
gathering evidence on which Mooney
was convicted of murder and as a
result of the San Francisco prepar-
edness day bomb explosion of 1916,
that the evidence against Mooney
was framed"
Brady declared that after the
grand jury investigates the case
the result of the investigation will
be forwarded to Governor W. d.
Stephens.
Governor Stephens is the only
man in the world who can aid
Mooney" Brady said. 81 am sure
that he will require conclusive evil
dence before he lifts a hand. But
if Detective Hands statement is
verified l believe we will know the
truth about the Mooney case"
Attaches of the district attor-
ney's office interviewed Carl Tom
bo of Philadelphia, who is now in
San Francisco, with regard to a
letter declaring that Frank c. Ok
man, star witness against Mooney,
had discussed the Mooney case
with Cameron Bristol, a consulting
engineer of Philadelphia.
The letter which declared that
Oxman had told Bristol that evil
dence in the Mooney case was
framed" mentioned Tombo as a
close associate of Bristol.
"BristoPs testimony in regard to
the matter can undoubtedly be had
if wanted" the letter said.

(By Charles NJ. Kelley

When two staid, conservative re-
publican senators-Calder and Edge
recently announced that they were
eXasperated by the profiteering greed
Of coal operators and spectators
and would move for the nationaliZa-
tlCG of the mining industry when
Congress recOnvenes on December s,
unless, meantime, the industry
purges itself of inhuman practices,
they started furry in reactionary
circles that temporarily overshad-
ows all other domestic questions.
There is a tendency on the part
Of many of those who are robbing
The people to believe these lawmak-
ers really meant what they said,
and are in earnest in their deter
mination to do something for long
harassed consumers. Whether they
were bluffing or not is of slight
consequence. The significance that
inheres in their pronouncement is
that it comedies the inadequacy of
securing by law or administration
that protection which the public
needs mad must have if grave perils
are to be averted.
Having admitted so much, the
| logical next step was to accept as
the only true solution of industrial
oppression rigid government regula-
ton, approXimating natlonallzatlor
of the coal industry. In other words
these arch defenders of privilege are
| forced by circumstances they cannot
control to concede that after all /,
said and done the people will be
helpless and hopeless just as long
as essential basic industries are dom
mated by individuals who have only
a profit-taking interest in them.
When the nation faced the emerg-
ency of winning a war it was neces-
sary to control prices and produc-
! ton. Nothing was gained by ap-
peals to the patriotism of the protl-
| teers. The government secured from
| the great mass of citizens prompt,
willing and effective cooperation,
but not from the coal operators and
pulveyors of coal. They were check
ed in their mad pursuit Of profits
Ey a maximum price for their pro
duct Just as soon as price control |
was relaxed there was resumed an /
orgy of profiteering that continues |
to this day, in face of the nose |
pulling of the attorney general and |
vague threats that never material |
lied "Iron bars do not a prison |
make" for coal barons. They are !
not susceptible to ordinary methods |
of regulation or to the humanitar
ian instincts that control their cOun- |
trymen. Senators Edge and Calder
realize this and declare that they
are ready to go just as far as the
Constitution will permit in regulat !
ing the industry, and they offer
their remedy after all other efforts
at reconstruction had ended disas-
trously.
It is scarcely possible that any
thing so drastic will be attempted, I
or, if attempted, that it viii be
consummated. The government as /
now constituted has little interest
in the fate of the masses. Its con-
Germ is that private exploiting bust
ness shall be protected, and there
will be little if any interference with
profits, no matter how large. But
it does no harm to talk about these
matters. Soonor or later there will
be a government that will take a
contrary view, and discussion will
hasten it's coming. When an earn
