AMERICAN LEGION
OF DAYTON.
May Enter Political Field
Said to Favor Captain Fitz.
gerald for Congress

It has been said that the American
Legion, of Dayton, Ohio, is contem-
plating entering the political field in
Favor of Captain Fitzgerald, of Day
ton, for congress. This is of much
interest locally since the present rep
resentative of this district, and of
which Dayton is a part, is Hon. War
rem Gard, of this city. Commenting
on the subject the Dayton Labor Re-
view says:
while the American Legion has
not indicated in any way or form that
it will take part in politics, yet there
is pretty good reason to believe that
the new organization will play an i'm
portant part in politics and public
policies hereabouts
'The American Legion has Is
neighborhood legions in the county,
and is maintaining a county council.
The membership is not far from
1900. General George H. Wood,
Mills Matthews and Rowland Mckee
are among the active members of the
county council Permanent head
quarters will be maintained, and
there is to be close association of the
American Legion with the free pub
lie employment bureau and the Red
Cross. 1t is asserted that the meth
ods of the legion will differ from
those pursued by the World War
Veterans, formed under the leadership
of Lieut.. Tom Phillips.
Incidental to the American Legion
and its field, the crystallization of
sentiment in favor of the soldiers
considerable interest is being shown
in the candidacy of Captain Roy G.
Fitzgerald as republican candidate
for congress. Later comes the an
nouncement that Major Harry E. 10y
will be a candidate from the Thirc
congressional district to the next
republican national convention.
"Offcers of the Legion have IL
sisted that the organization will not
be political in character, but if ths
high interest developed is sustained
there is every reason to believe thai
it will become a factor to be reckonet
with politically. The Legion will
seek immigration restriction and the
elimination of all publications except
those in the English language. This
is to be national issue"

The Hamilton Daily News had
quite spasm the other day over our
criticism, as they called it, of what
they said of the disposition of his
great wealth by the late Henry G.
Frick.
The News nearly called US Bolshev-
lists because we can't agree with it in
its laudation of the actions of the rich,
the gods of the News. We are not
referred to as numbskulls, likely be-
cause the word failed to come to the
mind of the editor. The editor is
kind and charitable in that he gives US
credit for knowing better but, he says,
that we say the things we do for the
sake of creating prejudice. Now this
part of the News statement we deny
in every particular; we don't know
why we enter this denial because we
know it is not necessary with the
reading public, but for the sake of
argument we do. The Press is doing
everything within its power to keep
down discord and to advocate at all
times peace and harmony in all our
industrial institutions and crafts.
On the other hand, the Hamilton
Daily News is doing and saying every
thing that goes to stir up bolshevistic
prejudice. Night after night this
paper is coming forth containing vic.
ious attacks on organized labor until
it appears that the News has no other
mission on earth. There is 10 other

THE sENATRs RLINDNEss

The senate has passed the Cummins
bill, containing the anti-strike provi
sion. This is unfortunate. It indi-
Gates that the sentae is, in some
things at least, afflicted with blind
ness.
The senate, in the Cummins bill,
seeks to legislate as the old Germany
would have legislated. "Verboten"
was the national watchword in old
Germany. Government was forever
putting "Verboten" signs all over the
place. This, that and the other was
forbidden.
But Germany found out that nations
cannot live by "Verboten' alone.
There has to be something else. 1t
was ''Verboten" that democracy should
win the war, but it did, just the same.
Progress and justice and liberty go
right along winning over blindness
and stupidity and arrogance and re-
action, in spite of signs on which is
written "thou shalt not"
The Cummins bill anti-strige pro-
vision is piece of arrogance and in
Justice. 1t is undemocratic. 1t is
wrong-and it won't work.
Labor doesn't demand the right to
strike because it enjoys striking. 1t
demands the right to strike because it
finds that at times the strike is tie
only means of securing justice. lhc
Cummins bill ignores fundamental
facts, as we'll as elemental Justice.
The Esch bill, adopted in the house
omits anti-strike provisions. That

labor. What is the real purpose OF
the News? How long are the mer-
chants, the advertisers, going to con-
tinue the support of this paper whose
policy, if continued, might Cd stir
up an industrial turmoil? Who will
suffer most, outside the workers
themselves, if industrial strife should
occur? Ask yourself this question,
Mr.. Merchant, and think it over. An
ounce of prevention beats pound OF
cure. Of course if the News was
taken seriously there might be some
cause for alarm, yet the constant
dropping of water on stone is bound
to cause some wear So it is here, the
| constant dropping of poison is bound
to cause some pollution and eventually
disease.
The News in its article asks, Don't

fighting for better living conditions

means to obtain them. He doesn't
have much time to devote to art and
education, nor can he obtain them
when he works long hours and for low
