bills &eoords with my views as "
what the legislation ought to be-"
Campbelfs unf erstAnding WAS. he
explained. that the Attorney General
was TO appear before the COMMITTEES
to advocate such legislation as the
Sterling Graham bills embody. He
expressed surprise at Palmer's sud
den opposition to them and his adyo-
cacy instead ~ the "antt-sedition"
measure sponsored by Representative
Dayey, Democrat. OF Ohio, on Noyem .
ber IT. Palmer sent copy or TINS

himself. with his letter TO the COM
mittee. in which he stated public
business OF pressing Importance" rem
dered his appearance before II i'm
possible"
Ose Of Des~n Proposed Bilis.
II was pointed out by Campbell that
the Davey bill was but one or a
dozen proposed "aLti-sedition" bills
Introduced In the House OF which tn
Graham bill was a "composite," which
as stated in the report from the House
judiciary Committee. freely took
from the bills considered. rearrang-
ing the subjects. and adding new
matter" The author OF the Graham
bill, Congressman Graham. Repub-
lican. OF Pennsylvania. prepared the
report.
Campbell accused Palmer OF "side-
stepping" the composite" Graham
bill after having given him and other
members OF the committee the I'M
preston that he favored II. ..
Unless the Attorney General does
appear before our committee and ex-
plain his changed attitude we shall
certainly not report rule to give tn
Graham bill a privileged place on the
House calendar, thereby permitting
its immediate consideration" Camp
bell said.
So many members OF the House
were reported today TO be lined up
against the Graham bill, which was
offered as a substitute H. that body
for the Sterling bill passed by the
Senate, that its defeat. II II were ever
taken from the House calendar In Its
present form. was freely predicted.
Hopes Palmer VIII Appear.
As spokesman for the American
Federation of Labor and other or
,anizations opposed to the bill
Ralston expressed the hope today
hat the Attorney General would ap-
pear before the Campbell committee
before IT concluded It's hearings.
I'VE would like to interrogate the
Attorney General about many mae
.,rs," Ralston' said. We would like
20 question him regarding the con-
duct OF the Department of Just ce.
and Its disregard OF the constitutional
rights of men II has not only thrown
nto Jail. but whom II has kept In
Jail without a hearing. We hope the
Attorney General will not disappoint
us by remaining away"
The indications were that unless
Palmer did appear before the commit
tee It's hearings would be conclu "a
,oday without any prospect of its re-
porting a rule on the Graham bill.
Capt. Swinburne Hale. New York
awyer, formerly Identified with the
army intelligence service. was to be
one of several witnesses before the
ommittee today.
Ralston. hims, IT,. promised to testi-
fy. and he dropped a hint that when
he took the stand he would have Gin
teresting revelations" to make as one
of counsel for the American Fedora
lion of Labor. whose president, Sam
uel Gompers, severely criticized the
Graham-Sterling bills.

SURPLUS OF MEN
REPORTED IN NORTH
Many Go Expecting To Get Good
Paying Jobs Report They
Have Failed

Reports which have been coming in
the way of little rumors and then re-
ports of life size recently have devel-
oped into flood of reports of failure
to procure employment in the northern
cities, especially in the automobile
centers and cities where there are ma
ny machine shops. Members of
boards of trade are being informed
by more than one that the conditions
here are not as rosy as reported in
this section of the country.
Persons employed in Akron and 9th
er cities to the north give sordid ac-
counts of conditions found there. La
borers and even skilled mechanics, as
well as farm hands, had focked there,
expecting to obtain work immediate
ly at enormously high wages. In many
cases they had been advised to come
by the manufacturing interests in
question, had responded to advertise
ments or even had been sought out by
agents who had loaded them On trains
bound for the north, with lavish
promises of "lots of work at double
wages" According to accounts receiv-
ed, workers are idle by hundreds. They
are sitting along curbstones outside of
mills, expecting hourly to be taken. in,
but days have gone by without the
eagerly awaited result materializing,
Housing accommodations are limited;
consequently many are without any
shelter. Besides, they have no money
to pay the enormous rent charged.
These expatriates accordingly are
writing back to their home city asking
for work.
This is not the first time The Daily
Register has called the attention of
the young men that there are numer-
Gus strikes, especially in the machinist
trade in most of the cities, and that
they will be confronted with dangerous
conditions in various places, should
they respond to the call and go with
the intention to get honest work at
good wages. There have been alluring
advertisements put out and other in
ducements, and many have responded
only to run into line of pickets,
where there was a strike,en hard q

Traffic Cops Proposed
On Commerce Highway
System of Government That
Will Appeal to Common
People Is Demanded

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Sooner or later the people will
elect a government which will not be
afraid to deal directly with those
matters which vitality concern their
everyday life. Our system of govern
ment Is the greatest in the world, but
its energies are entirely misdirected
and, as far a. the common people are
concerned, practically useless. That's
why the people take so little interest
in their government and are content
to leave it to politicians.
1t is astonishing to think that with
all its tremendous machinery, Federal
state and municipal, which costs the
nation countless millions Of dollars,
it entirely ignores the matter of pro-
duction and distribution, the only two
things which directly affect the very
life Of every one Of us.
The time has come when we must
have "traffic cops" on the highways Of
commerce. The orderly process Of de-
velopment has become impossible with
out them. 1t can be done and it will
be done. There is no other way.

Fair Deal Advocated

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The United States has more
seacoast than any civilized country IN
the world, with the possible exceptio,
of Russia. The American seacoast is
disable for more than half the year in
almost every part except the extreme
north of Alaska. On this seacoast
millions Of tons Of fish are obtainable,
TO catch these fish is the occupation
OF thousands. Millions of dollars are
INFESTED in this industry.
These fish are not inexhaustible, as
some people think. They will have to
be replaced. Salmon used to be plenti-
full on the Atlantic Coast. They are
almost extinct. Other fish are entirely
extinct.
Scientific management Of this re-
source which Providence has given us
will make US one of the richest nations
en- earth. Inefficient management Of
this industry and petty graft and poll
tics will make this industry one of the
worst in the whole world. We will
have no fish and living costs will soar.
The fishermen are asking whether
to support the present Administration
or the Republican party. They will
support the party which gives them
square deal. They want better oppor-

10 the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir: There is one platform upon
which any nationally known citizen of
good character and successful record
could win. The party would make no
difference. His chief plank would read
somewhat as follows:

shall appoint no one to public office
of any kind except those adequately
prepared for their work. l shall APP
point as members Of my cabinet only
such men as are nationally conceded
TO be supremely we'll qualified for their
TASKS. shall leave them free from
any restriction other than the knowl-
edge that l expect them to bring their
departments to greater degree of ef-
tanned" 1911 q y

inspire more public condolences in 10

would no longer be placed in charrc Of

'vocates OF unpreparedness are not

Reduction of Tares
By Eliminating waste
Made Basis of Appeal

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The really sincere effort to al
leviate tax burdens would consist in
not only repeating or modifying pres
emit tax legislation, including all tenn
porary and emergency taxes. but
would also consist in reducing govern
ment expenditures. 1t costs a vast lot
Of the public's money to run an un-
businesslike government
There are many departments and
agencies whose duties overlap and dup
licate each other; there are others
who have no excuse whatsoever for
their existence. There is an excess
army of hired civilian employees, sur
plus from the war emergency duties,
who have not yet been demobilized,
even if the uniformed army has. They
are the encircling vultures lowering
over a PROSTATE treasury.
There are whole bureaus that could
be cleansed and reorganized. There
are red-tape restrictions, unnecessary
paper-work, duplication of effort, ex-
travagance and wanton waste. Eff
ficiency and economy would supplant
all this, in the name of lower taxes.

Sir: The Republican party stood for

the Republican party to take a decided
stand in defending the Republican form
of government under which our coun-
try became as strong as it has been and
is. With the form Of political govern
