ut is true Duluth may not have
grown as rapidly as some other cit
les have, but there is stability
about conditions here in this good old
union town that makes her people very
proud of her. We have no fear of
bread lines and we have been able to
deal with radicalism surprisingly well,
in spite of the fact that lately the
open shoppers are breeding it faster
than the constructive labor movement
can absorb and neutralize it.
"In another year, predicts Mr.. Har-
ris, the open shop will be in effect
throughout the entire United States.
That is what big business is saying,
too, and it bases its prediction on the
hope that Senator Harding, the "back
to normalcy" candidate for president
with reactionary republican con-
gress will be in power to throw the
influence of the federal government
against union labor as Governor Al
len has done in the state of Kansas.
1t is the only hope of the open shop
pers' who are making the fight to per-
petuate 'Garyism' in America, with its
12-hour workday, its armed guards at
every factory gate, and its muzzled
workers who are afraid to discuss any
thing but sporting events within the
realm of it's czardom."

THE MORAL OF TWO WILLS

THE MORAL OF TWO WILLS
This week the public press stated
that the wills of the late Andrew
Carnegie and William c. Gorgas, for
mer surgeon general of the United
States army, were filed.
The ironmaster's estate is valued at
more than twenty million dollars, and
the medical mans is twenty thousand
dollars.
The ironmaster was long in the pub
lie eye, while the medical man was
known to but comparatively few. His
views did not appeal to public opinion
molders. He struck at what he be-
lieved was the root of poverty by his
opposition to the practice of holding
land out of use. He was believer in
high wages, and insisted that this in
creased "the ability of the people to
live well and to get better food and
better clothing"

In a speech in Cincinnati, six years
ago, he said:
IF / should again go into a COM
munity such as Cuba or Panama, and
were allowed to select only one sani-
tary measure, but were at the same
time given power to choose from all
sanitary measures, l would select that
cf doubling wages"
General Gorgas left comparatively
little of this worlds goods, but his
views on poverty is an enduring mon
ument.

STRIKES NOT ONLY
LOSS

Chicago.-There is an annual loss
in live stock of over 25,000,000 be-
cause of improper handling and ship
ment. Stock producers, packers, ship
pers and railroads will confer in shis
city on November to attempt to re-
duce this loss. 1t is claimed that
three-ffths of this loss is because of
bruises sustained by stock between
the time they leave the farm and their
arrival at stock yards.
This is but one of the numerous
losses sustained in production that
are ignored by lawmakers, editors and
publicists who shout that workers
must be handcuffed to their jobs if
they quit their employment as a last
resort to improve conditions.

Not if Mr.. Gompers can help it.
But Mr., Gompers is an old man. It
is not conceivable that his dominion
over labor should continue much long
er. There is no bigger question be-
fore this country just now than the
question of what kind of leadership
the federation is to have when Com
pers quits. Gompers is doing every
thing he can to make the attitude
of American labor conservative and to
bind it's followers to a conservative
bargain Some of the best licks of
his long life are being put in right

Scores of reactionaries have been
retired to private life and the work
ers' agitation for remedial legislation
and constructive craftsmanship has
been impressed upon the public mind.
But of greater importance is the
education and development of the
workers, their intellectual awakening,
their expanded capacity, their in
creased independence and their great
er faith in themselves, their union and
it's non-partisan policy.
Reaction is aghast when workers de-
mand an accounting by office holders.
The publication of records hurt-this
was a shot "below the water line, "
and special privilege howled, Com
pers is trying to deliver the labor

what did you do, not what you
say was labor's reply to the charges,
the rhetoric and flag waving of plum
der and graft.
Labor's greatest victory is the
awakening of labor.
The army of fighters for right has
been recruited by the tens OF thou

in the struggle for freedom.

HARDING WITH cuMMINs.

New York Herald: With his home
spun devotion to American fradltlons
and his manly practice of American
principles, it could not fail to give
Warren G. Harding satisfaction to go
into Iowa, where temporary illness

ing an active personal canvass Tor
recollection. And to have had Mr..
Harding 70 there could only rejoice
the heart Of independent, self-reilant
American citizenship.
Senator Cummins is now the ODD
iect of repulsively un-Amerlcan as
sauIts because in the matter OF rail-
wav LEGISLATION he refused to do the
bidding of public ownership marplots
and labor union bosses. No member
of the senate had given deeper
study to the railway problem. NO
member of congress in either branch
had acquired a more thorough under
standing of the pressing dangers OF
the transportation system and the
imperative needs of the country for
carving facilities and sounder rall-
Dad foundations. But his geat work
IN railway legislation earned for him
the bitter hatred of special classes.
senator Cummins long had favored
m,b,ic regulation of rates. At one
neriod he inclined strongly to a con-
troll which savored of state manage
ment. But from his very mastery OF
the railway problem he came to a
full understanding of the hopeless
ness of a solution through govern
ment ownership or operation. FROM
his grasp of the rock bottom details
of the plight of the roads and OF the
needs of the country he gathered a
clear realization of the fact that II
.the railroads were starved by the
rate making power the public could
not be served by the railroads. FROM
his long and arduous labors IN WORK
ing out this vast national problem ne
reached the conclusion that the
roads not only must be restored from
the government touch Of death to the
live active. ambitious handling of
private management but must be pro,
ttected to the extent that such pro-
lection was possible and practicable,
from wanton strikes as disastrous to

OPENS TRAFFIC IN SLAVERY.

Article twenty three of the league covenant
reads in part as follows: ''The members OF the
league II will entrust the league with the
general supervision over the execution of agree
ments with regard to the traffic in women and
children and the traffic in opium and other
dangerous Drugs That means that the United
Estates, if member, would relnquish it's right
to prescribe what shall be the standard of NOR
atty in that regard. 1t will be noted that the
covenant does not condemn any of those prac~
tees, and what the changing attitude of the
league toward them might be is a matter of
conjecture. It is conceivable that in the future
lit might countenance such traffic. Persia, a
member nation, holds women as slaves today.
It's the United States willing that its morals
shall be fixed by an association Of not over
Iscrupulous foreign nations?

The color of the ground was in him. the red earth;

He built the rail pile as he built the state
He built the rail pile as he built the state,

And when the judgment thunders split the house,
Wrenching the rafters from their ancient rest,
He held the ridgepole up and spiked again
The rafters of the home He held his place
Held the long purpose like growing tree
Held on through blame and faltered not at praise.

Unfair Attack on cummins.

Des Moines Capital: The Water
loo Courier calls attention to the un-
fair contest which is beng MADE
against Senator A. B. Cummins on the
mart of Claude r. Porter. The Cour
Ter saws that Mr.. Porter, during his
Waterloo visit, made the following I'M
truthful statement:
"For the first time in the history
of our republic the congress OF the
United States has taken away the
right of a man to strike. Under the
Cummins- Esch bill il is unlawful TOT
a group of men to quit their jobs be-
cause they have grievance against
the owners"
In reply to the above the Courier
says:
"The foregoing statement is rank,
fat. bald falsehood. AS we stated
last week there is not paragraph
or word in the railroad law that says
anything of the kind
Senator Cummins makes no apology
for HIS railroad legislation. He says
it is right; it is an effort to serve the
public. and it, is serving the public
ITnder the Cummins ,Esch law any
man can quit the railroad employment.
He does not have to remain one min
ute beyond his own desire. Railway
employees are getting to understand
t.e situation. They know that the
people of the United States are fair
to labor. The interstate commerce
commission. acting with the authority
of the Cummins law, granted an an
nual Increase of wages to railway en-
ployes of over s600,0o0,000.
he Cummins law broke the hearts
of some people because they are in
favor of government ownership Whlch,
in the end, would mean socialism. The
democratic party pretends to be
against socialism, but Claude Porter
appears to be willing to line up with
this socialistic attack on the new rail
road law in an effort to get into the
United States senate.
/ Another falsehood continues to float
and that is that the Cummins law
guarantees the railroads five and a
half per cent. The law guarantees
