Politicians Lack the Courage to
Combat PrOfiteering

Washington, D. C.-Charging that
the dominant politicians of both
parties on the eve of the presidential
campaign have not the courage to
fight rampant profteering evils, w.
Jett Lauck, Consulting Economist of
the Railroad Unions, made public here
tonight his program for the restora-
tion of normal economic conditions.
Mr.. Lauck recommends:
l. The enactment by Congress of
Legislation providing for the restitu-
ton to the people through federal
taxation of all excess war profits.
2. Legislation putting into effect
Immediately the proposal now before
Congress calling for the stamping
with the producers cost Of all COM
modities entering into interstate
commerce.
3. Legislation requiring all in
dustrial corporations engaged in in
terstate trade to take out federal
charters, which would put the fnan-
ces, reorganizations and consolida-
tions of these interests under federal
control, and so prevent the capitaliza-
tion of illigitimate earnings through
stock dividends and the absorption of
excess earnings by the issuance of
fictitious securities.
a. Continuation of the campaign
of publicity and education against the
profiteers, since neither the corporate
producers, the wholesalers or the re-
tailers can stand the stigma of being
known as profiteers.
If the politicians and legislators,

World Clad in ShOddy
Virgin Wool Stored

Chicago-The world wears shoddy
wool, while storehouses are bursting
with virgin wool, according to figures
compiled by the national sheep and
wool bureau of America. There are
more than 1,265,000,00O pounds of
virgin wool in the worlds storehouses
and this years clip will increase
these holdings.
In spite of the high price of wool
fabrics, American store houses con-
tanned 700,000,000 pounds of virgin
wool last September, 10 months after
the signing of the armistice, or 100.-
100000 pounds more than the coun-
try's annual consumption. .
The sheep and wool bureau is at
tempting to secure the passage of a
fabric" bill, now pending in
congress. The bill is designed to
compel manufacturers to stamp
"woo" cloth with the percentage of
shoddy or cotton used in its manu-
facture. Shoddy is made from woolen
rags.
"The reason huge stocks of virgin
wool are now lying in storehouses
manufactured" said Secretary
Greene of the sheep and wool bureau,
"is that the use of unidentified shod-
dy enables manufacturers to make
more money.
"The purchaser buys his all wool
clothing without knowing that he is
getting old rags respun, and pays
virgin wool prices.
Manufacturers should be COM
PEELED to come out in the open and
tell what their gods are made of.
Then people who want virgin wool,
and are willing to pay for virgin
WOOL can get honest cloth, and
goods made of shoddy will take its
rightful place and price and can no
longer masquerade as virgin wool, if
the 'truth-in-fabric' bill is passed by
congress-"

Retirement Bill
THE FEDERAL PENSION ACT
PASSED BY CONGRESS
Amendment Excluding Affiliates of
A. F. of L. Gets Nine Votes
in Both Houses

Washington-After years of agita-
tion both branches of congress have
accepted the principle of retirement
for federal employees. The senate
passed the Sterling bill which pro-
vides for retirement of classified civil
service employees, and the house
passed the Lehlbach bill, which en-
bodies the same principle. There was
no record vote in the senate. The
record vote in the house was 273 for
to So against.
Because of differences between the
two bills conferees will prepare a
compromise. The principal differ
ence is the age retirements. The
senate has set the age limit at 70
years for all groups and the house
bill provides for retirement at 6O
years for railway postal clerks, 62
years for city and rural carriers,
post office clerks and mechanics, and
IS years for other groups. In both
bills pensions are graduated both in
relation to number of years in the
service and pay. The maximum an
nual pension is $720 and the mini
mum is $3.50. Employees will con-
tribute 21a per cent of their basic pay
In the house Congressman Blanton
attempted to amend the bill by eX-
Guiding from its benefits any employe
who is affiliated with the A. F. of l..
His proposal was favored by only
five other ongressmen-three of his
Texas colleagues, Messrs. Garner,
Mansfield and Rayburn, and French
of Idaho and Garrett of Tennessee.
In the senate Mr.. Myers of Mon
tana offered the same amendment
and was supported by two colleagues
-Messrs. Thomas of Colorado and
Warren of Wyoming.
The votes show that while many
speeches have been made against la
Dor, there are only nine members OF
congress out of a total membership
of 531 who are willing, just before
election, to support by their votes the
anti-union hysteria that has been
witnessed in the national law making
body since the armistice was signed.

SHAM PATRIOTS SCORED

calling it "the American plan" was
condemned by United States Deputy

He said the american plan" of
the employers is an unwarrantable
misuse Of the word american" and

truthful statements of the employers.
