SOMEBODY BLUNDERED

We have been told by the senate,
by newspapers, by speakers and by
large advertisements that private
management of the railroads would
be a thousand times more efficient
than under government control. 1t
took less than three months for the
private managers to get the roads
into a hopeless jam from which the
interstate commerce commission is
now trying to extricate them.
The railroad managers claim their
troubles are due to a shortage of cars,
yet when the commission took charge
few weeks ago there We're $1,000
cars on sidings and terminals which
the, private managers were helpless
to move. If they had $1,000 more
cars the jam would have been that
much worse.
Through the kindness of the senate,
the people of the country will be
called upon to pay about five billion
dollars additional each year for the
efficient" private management,
which makes our transportation sys-
TEN cost more than the late war

Making Enemies
PORTO RICAN LABOR POLICY is
CRITICISED
Government Does Nothing to Help or
Protect TOilers From Cruel Ex-
plOitatiOns of Employers

Montreal, Quebec-The Porto Rican
labor policy of the United States gov
ernment is bringing democratic ideals
into disrupt among the peoples of the
South American countries declares
Peter j. Brady and Anthony Mean
drew, A. F. of l.. commissioners to
Porto Rico in their report printed in
the annual report of the A. F. of L..
executive council to the annual con-
vention in this city. The commits
sioners say:
"We found the government of Porto
Rico almost helpless or unwilling and
unable to do anything effective to
either help or give protection to the
men, women and children toilers from
cruel and inhuman exploitation by
the corporations and other employers.
"To talk about democracy, free
dom and liberty to the Porto Rcan
workers, and to say to them that
the United States government has
for that purpose, results in the state
ment being received with suspicion
derision and ridicule."
1t is stated that the administra-
tion of the islands affairs through
the bureau of insular affairs of the
war department "is creating for the
United States government everlasting
enemies without our gate"
"The failure of the government Of
ficials and the Legislature of Porto
Rico," continue the commissioners,
to fully realize their obligations, re-
sponsibilities and duties to all the
Porto Rican people as an integral
part Of the United States, is making
our system of government a mockery,
a sham and a delusion and is giving
the United States a bad reputation
with other South American coun-
tries"

Asking Too Much
MEXICAN WAR POLICY OPPOSED
BY GOMPERS
Claims the Report of Committee il
Adopted, Will Inevitably
Lead to War

Washington = A subcommittee of
the United States senate has made a
report on Mexico which, if adopted,
will lead to war with that country,
declared President Gompers, in a
public statement. The chairman of
the subcommittee is Senator Fall.
"The report" says President Com
,, pers, amounts to a declaration that
unless the governemnt of Mexico re-
writes its constitution in accord with
the ideas of American oil and mining
interests the government Of the
United States will intervene in
Mexico"
"The report of Senator Falls COM
mittee demand number of speci-
fed changes in the Mexican consti-
tuition. These changes would be the
consummation of what has long been
the hopes of the great oil and mining
interests, as well as the land and
timber interests, which have fomented
the bitterness between the people of
I the United States and of Mexico.
"Of COURSE" continues President
Gompers, "this amounts to policing
practically the whole of the country.
Those who know Mexico and the
Mexican people understand fully that
such action would mean war between
the two countries. The report of Sen
ator Falls committee, therefore, is
report which recommends a course
leading directly to war with Mexico.
This has long been desired by the
American interests engaged in the ex-
ploitation of the natural resources
of Mexico.
"The report calls for American aid
to Mexico providing Mexico agrees
to the terms of the report. This is
not an American proposition and it
must be set aside by the popular
opinion and fair Judgment of our
people"

dered, the total gain in membership

East or west, north or south, nc
matter where one goes, they are con;
fronted with the question:
"When is the crash coming"
To be sure there are some, in all
walks of life who are so optimistic
as to believe that there will be no
crash. They close their eyes to past
history and try to convince them
selves and others that all is well.
These optimists are usually those
who are profiting by prevailing condi-
tions and who hate to hear a dis
cordant note sounded.
Then, of course, we have with US
the calamity howler who is afflicted

One of these forces wants to crush

and speed up production.
Their slogan is the "open shop"

more far-sighted. They are not one

their opponents are, but they hesi-
