Reactions reply is to assume vir-
tuous pose and shrek partisanship. !"
Labor's non-partisan political act
ivity was never more intensive and
this is a new problem for reaction
which assumes that before citizens
take political action they should
await the edict of some superior per-
son whose regard for humanity is
only in the mind of a high-priced
press agent.
Reaction has discovered that organ
lied labor insists on doing its own
thinking. These workers believe in
democracy. They refuse to accept
the wisdom of those placed on ped
estal by special interests. They want
to know how candidates voted when
in office and how they will vote #
elected. With this information labor
declares it is competent to act without
the advice of others.
The A. F. of L. non-partisan COM
mittee is adherlng to TINS long-eSlaD-
lished policy of the trade union move
ment. Records of senators and con
gressmen are made public, literature
on the workers legislative demands
is issued and workers are urged to
study these documents, question can
didates and then vote as their con
science dictates, in the interests of
social advance.
Reports to the A. F. of L. commit
tee indicate growing enthusiasm and
determination for this program.

more than 5000 local trade unions

SECRECY FOR
COAL OWNERS
But Lives of Coal Miners
Must Be Laid Bare

Scranton, Pa.-The anthracite wage
commission has ruled against consid-
ering exhibits presented by the work
ers in which the coal owners are
charged with monopoly and profiteer-
ing.
The miners insisted that these prac-
tices have direct relation to profits
and wages. The commission holds that
the exhibits are outside its jurisdic-
ton
The commissions ruling means that
the miners lives must be laid bare to
the commission; their cost of living,
how they spend their wages; what
their wives and children wear must
all be made public The coal owners,
however, are protected, and the claim
that the public should be given full
information on the coal industry is
overlooked. There will be no publ
city on the coal owners methods
The miners were prepared to show
that half dozen railroads control
the anthracite mining industry and
that through coal companies they rig
the market Other exhibits would
show the relation of wages to cost of
production, profits and prices; profits
of coal companies; coal prices since
1913; freight rates and other trans
portation costs; operating and fnan-
cial transaction of anthracite rail
roads; coal owners combinations and
cost of producing coal at the mines
during March of this year The coal
owners made bitter fight to keep
this information out of the records
They even insisted that arguments on
admitting the exhibits should be Sc
cret, but the commission made this
concession to the miners, who battled
for the widest publicity
The miners pointed to the inconsist-
ency of coal owners who talk about
protecting the public" and now re-
fuse to inform the public of conditions
that have a direct bearing on wages
and the price Of coal. In answer to
the claim that the wage commission
has no jurisdiction, the miners insist
ed that there was an implied jurisdic-
ton, even duty.
''The commission" said the miners,
lis not an ordinary arbitration board; !;
it is a public body, charged with not
only deciding issues as to wages and
conditions of employment, but also
with the development Of all the facts
bearing on the public interest

MARTIAL LAW
IN TEXAS
Prussianism in America Be-
comes Reality

Galveston-C Citizens of Galveston
now agree that Prussianism in Amer
lea is not only possible, but it is a
fact ,as far as this city is concerned.
Dock workers are on strike because
steamship managers refuse to arbi-
trate wage demands and the governor
has ordered troops to their city and
proclaimed martial law Recently the
troops dissolved a meeting of the la
Dor council.
The dock workers have been urg-
ing their demand since last October.
They show that dock workers at deep
sea ports are paid 20 cents an hour
more than they are for the same kind
of work. Their committees have made
eight trips to New York, Washington
and New Orleans in an effort to settle
the question. Last June officers of the
International Longshoremen's Associa-
ton and a committee representing the
New York chamber of commerce
agreed to arbitrate the issue. The
New Workers then ask the steamship
managers if they would accept this
plan, and were told I'VE have moth
ing to arbitrate."
The dock workers then suspended
work and the governor, instead of US
ing every moral force at his command
against the companies, has ordered
out the troops.

DEATH CAUSED
BY Low WAGES

Washington.-In calling attention
to the relation of low wages to infant
mortality, the United States children's
bureau states that the sumner peak
of infant deaths is now beginning.
In Manchester, n H., more babies
died from CASTRO intestinal diseases
than from any other cause, the rate
being 63 per 1000 babies born alive.
In August more deaths occurred from
these diseases than occurred in any
other month from all causes combin-
ed Two thirds Of the Manchester
babies were born to foreign born
mothers, two-ffths to mothers who
could not speak English, and over one
sixth to illiterate mothers Nearly
one-half of them were in families
where the fathers earnings totaled
less than $3.50 a year, and over two
fifths were to mothers whe were gain
fully employed during the year follow
ing the baby's birth.
In Johnstown, Pa; Waterbury,
Conn, and New Bedford, Mass, where
similar conditions prevailed, the in
fant mortality rates for diseases of
the digestive system were 81, Al and
AZ, respectively.
These reports, says the children's
bureau, emphasize the Importance Of
family income, better domestic and
municipal sanitation, and the need of
teaching mothers how to take care Of
babies.

Cause of Worry For Candi-

Allentown, Pa-"The producers, .
says the Pennsylvania Labor Herald
"are organizing an effective non-parti-
san campaign to express their views
upon the national election, and in
many districts congressman who are
seeking reelection find that they are
going to have the hardest kind Of up
hill hauling to gain the ear of their
constituents.
"The old shibboleth of party feaIty
has lost its punch, and this year, as
never before, voters will vote their
convictions and forget their political
labels. It is Of slight significance
whether a candidate is a democrat or a
republican or whatnot, but it is su-
premely important whether he is re-
dictionary or a forward-looking citi-
zen, with we'll defined views on perti-
nent political issues and a fair con-

MURDER TRIAL IS ON
Man to Face Jury for Kill.
 ing Dafryman.

, Texarkana, Sept. 5.-The regular term of the Miller County Circuit Court. which was continued in June, will convene tomorrow and probably will remain in session for several weeks. the various dockets being larger than usual When the court met in June adjournment was taken to September 6, so farmers could give attention to their crops.
 The most notable case on the crim- inal docket is that against H. c. McAdoo, charged with the murder of J. E. Eaton, dairyman. The two men lived neighbors, and are said to have fallen out because a dog belong ing to Eaton bit a horse owned by McAdoo. The trouble eliminated about May 1, when Eaton was shot while driving to town. It was said that McAdoo challenged Eaton to get out and fight, and when the latter declined to accept, McAdoo ran and jumped on the running board of Eaton's auto and shot Eaton in the mouth. Eaton died weeks later. Me Adoo was held for the grand jury without jail, and has been in jail ever since.
 Another case of interest is that against Jeff Davis Hines, charged with assault with intent to kill Mrs. Chloe Mackey. Hines is at present serving a 15-year sentence in the penitentiary for killing p. w. Mack ley, husband of Mrs. Chloe Mackley The Mackley's operated florist shop and had some words with Hines about the delivery of some flowers. Hines was driver of an express wagon. Lat CT Hines went to the store of the Mackley's and renewed the dispute, 1t is said and during the argument he killed Mackley. Mrs. Mackley was ser iously wounded by pistol bullet through the body.

Ii the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf finds itself in an unfortunate predica- mert those towns along the line which mus rely exclusively upon it for tran. aoftati0n, find themselves in no less m unfortunate position. The towns along the line have been most loyai to the road in the past and have aided to different times financially and otherwise to evade an impen ding crisis. The very commircial life of some of these towns will be most ser iously threatened should not an eadly solution of the roads trouble be found It seems that the matter has passed beyond the help of any local sources. The road lost nearly a quarter of million last year, but the government abs orbed the deficit. Since the advanc- ed wage scales and the divorsement of the government from the roads. the trouble has quickly come to head. In order to make ends meet the ser vices was reduced to three days a week and salaries cut. Following this the men quit. Putting them back to work at the old wage would do no good. for who would take up the $2O,- coo monthly deficit, were it to con- tinue that large? If the figures given out are correct, and they are assumed to be official, there can be put one remedy. Operation under a receiver ship would not be the answer, for even recoivership must meet current operating expenses. We hear talk of scrapping the road. This thought should not be given serious consider ation. We do not see it that way We see brighter days ahead for the M, D. X G. We are not permitted to look behind the scenes, but facts are facts. and we had as well discuss them. A receivers hip can do one thing, and in this instance it appears. only one. That is to sell the road under the hammer, that some larger road may buy it and use it as a connecting link of a system.

Agricultural experts are sending out warnings that farmers should gather their crops early this fall Little River county farmers should not need this warning, as they had a little ex- perience In late gathering last fall. Many thousands of dollars went to waste last fall by not being able to harvest the crops early. Better push up little, you can never tell anything about Arkansas weather. It may not rain much this fall, and then again it may spend the entire fall raining. The man that gathers his crop early will be assured of getting all there is in the crop.

COUNTRY MOTHERS.

We lead much nowadays about the farm. boy leaving home, and are trying
 to figure cut a way to keep him o1
 the land But after reading a survey of over 10000 farm homes made by the
 Office of Extension Work of the States Relation Service, one might
 pause and wonder why it is that the farm woman doesn't become di3satis- fed and leave the farm.
 This survey was taken in Northern and Western States and discloses the fact that the farm womans working day averages 11.3 hours the year round In the summer she works on an average of 1912 hours day and finds only 1.6 hours of leisure. Ninety six per cent do the family washing, and half of those do it on a washboard. Garden work is done by 56 per cent and "A per cent spend six weeks of the year assisting with some part of the field work.
 Only 4 per cent nave water in the kitchen, and the rest have to get it from the spring or draw it from the we'll. A farmers wife of Arkansas told a home demonstration agent that she worked IS hours during the month of June She arose at o'clock in the morning, cooked breakfast, milked the COWS, cleaned the house and went to the field and worked all day. She came home in the evening, cooked supper and finished her days work at ten o'clock at night. She considered this to be a good days work. Has anyone the nerve to say it isn't?
 This is the dark side of the farm woman's life and anyone who knows the farm life will take into considera- tion the many compens ations that come with the woman's daily round of work for the comfort of her family. But we hear often the farmer who boasts of his fine equipped barns and good machinery, while at the same time his wife has to carry water 50 yards, to the kitchen, washes all the family clothing on the washboard and runs hand churn to take caro of the cream from a large heard of cows. She is doing her part of her bargain with out a murmer, but at the same time smooth cheeks are becoming wrinkled and ,rect shoulders bent. Abraham Lincoln sid he owed all he was to his and some one comes up with the argument that she had to work in the fields and cook over a fireplace. Billy Sunday says, They forget that she worked herself to death and died before she reached middle age"
 Women do their work for love of some one else and perhaps here is the as w. Livingston Larned puts it:
 Country mothers are the real pow CTS of the land. Every time you see really great man, if you look hard enough, you'll find, somewhere, mod est tender, loving little country wom- an as the mother away back, hiding The Extension Cooperator
