Editor Leader: Permit me through
the Leader to congratulate Labor, and
especially organized labor, for their
solid and almost unanimous support
of the plans Of the A. F. of l.. and the
2. P. l.. to reward their friends and
punish their enemies, as shown by
the result of the election Tuesday,
the 9th of April.
In analyzing this result / can find
but one answer, and that is the aver
age working man is getting all that
is coming to him, as it seems i'm
possible to convince him otherwise.
On the 9th of April you had chance
to defeat the delegates to the Re-
publican convention of one of the
most reactionary foes of labor, w.
G. Harding. What did you do? You
stayed away from the polls and by
so doing gave passive consent for
your undoing.
In your vaporings before election
you get blue in the face vociferating
against politicians and lawyers in
congress who are the servile tools of
"Big Business" and the refrain of
your song is something like this:
Wait until the next election and we
will retire him to private life lin
horn).
One election has passed into history
and you have run true to form.
Don't start that old sun dance with
its meaningless incantations which
declares war on the friends of Wall
street in the open, while you retain
the mental reservation to vote for
anybody they nominate providing he
is of your political faith regardless
of his faithlessness to your economic
welfare and social standing.
Keep up the good work boys and
you will get ahead. with about the
same celerity as sea crab.
| wish to call your attention to the
primary election to be held in August
try and forget this-and let them
pull another run on you.

 T noticed in the papers about Tanlac and gave it trial. and it's fact nothing can beat it, for I've taken only three bottles and feel like a new man. I eat anything I want now and am never troubled with gas any more; the rheumatism has left and my nerves are steady as a clock. and I get up every morning feeling fit and ready for the days work. Tanlac IS the greatest. medicine I've seen and I know what I'm talking about. for I have tried nearly everything"

management and a heinous offense against a people in need of every pos sihle ounce of production.
 'The Federation of Labor," MT. Com pers further asserted, "at all hazards will resist wage reductions" Organized labor, he added, would not tolerate" pay roll cuts.
 For months we have heard the cry. dinned and dinned and dinned into our ears.s increase production" MT. Gompers declared. How can policy of increased production be accomplished under pol icy of laying off thousands of workers?"
 Discussing the woolen company action, MT Gompers said it had increased it's net income in 1919, 5T5 per cent over 1914. and it's common stock earnings 531 per cent. The Pennsylvania, he added, plans to lay off 1900 men.
 Will this help move freight?' Mr. Gompers continued.
 Will it help give the nation that increased production of which it stands in need? Or Is the laying off of work CTS a revival of that old and crude policy of laying off men during po- litical campaign for the purpose of driving them in fright and necessity into a political camp?
 .In addition to the laying off, there have been reports of efforts to decrease wages. There is no excuse and much less a reason for reduction of wages. Even yet we have ground to cover be fore we restore to all the purchasing power of 1913.
 The nation needs production. Int action of corporations that today lay off thousands of men is nothing less than tremendous indictment of man agement What is needed above every thing else today is continuous opera tion of industry, with fairness and honesty and intelligence upon the part of employers that will make contin-- uous operation possible. Two employ ment policies will hinder production. These are either reduction of working forces or brutal efforts to drive work CTS without consultatio and without a agreement with the workers"
