VOTERECORDS
Solons Attitude Toward La.
Dor Distributed Through
out Country.
CPubIic Ledger ServfceD

The American Federation of La
Dor has sent into Pennsylvania a
compilation of the voting record Of
all members of Congress from that
State, including Senator Boise Pen
rose, on measures showing their at
titude toward labor. The distribu-
tion of these records among unions
of the State, estimated to represent
about 100000 persons, is the first
vital step in the labor federation S
so-called nonpartissn political cam
paign in the Quaker State.
Similar records have been made
of the activity of every member Of
Congress and are being distributed
throughout the country. Although
they make no "recommendat tions'
as to how the union man should
vote on the congressman from his
district. they are a plain representa-
tion of how his record is regarded
by union labor.
That the records are a BLACK
list" has been vigorously deLied by
officials of the American Federation
of Labor. Their position seems to
be that they are thoroughly Justi-
fed in presenting to Ihe 100000
odd members Of the organization 4
record showing only whether thCir
representative in the national leg
islature voted favorably or unfa-
vorably TO labor on measures vital
ly affecting the working man.

was denounced as nothing more
than pure theocrscy' by Sir Auck-
land Geddcs, the British Ambssss-
dor, in his address yesterday at the
annual convention Of the American
Bar Association. He chsracterizea
the Boisneviki as real reactionary"
who are trying TO force their will
upon society and create a privi-
Iedged class. Americans and British,
he declared. must stand together TO
cefend the hsrd-won hope OF de-
mocracy.
IT was expected that the smbssss-
dor. whose theme was Democracy"
would refer in his address 70 the re-
lstions between Great Britain and
Ireland. Not a line OF his speech.
however. could be interpreted as
having the remotest bearing upon
the Irish question.
L have listened TO a tabor lesoer

breath that might was right and
that his union should be outside the
law and that the voice OF the peo-
pie must prevail, though I could not
help sDspecting him OF mentally
spelling people with a capital =.
'-Theocracy and sutocrscy force
full application OF the big idea, in
evitably lead to inequality before
the law and so to tyranny resolu-
tion and chaos or TO decsdence con-
quest and chaos. That way lies no
hope. Let the Bolsheviki and sup
Icrters in all lands prste as they
will OF resctionsries and imperial
lists. They themselves are the re-
sctionaries. Their whole creed is TO
force on society = great idea which
has been revealed TO them and to
them alone. and like il or dislike IL

on your mind the firmest and deep

that the most dangerous symptom
that has been manifested in Amer

tempt of the Senatorial oligarChy
to reach out and take possession
of our government; and, further
more, a symptom just as dangerous
as that is the creation of a cam
paign fund that when the size OF
it is understood, will stagger the
sensibilities of our people.
Il will produce evidence that
convicts every mothers son OF
them-evidence of a deliberate plot
that has been carried into every
county in America-a plot and a
conspiracy to buy the Presidency
of the United States. But it cannot
be done"

Hundreds of government employees

They have even been found in the

lived right next to them practically

Perhaps it's a part of the new
economy that brings this about, an
effort to save money by staying at

over the attractions of the home
town that other people from all over
the nation come to see. The rubber

Paper Restored to

The New York Call, a Socialist
newspaper, which was denied the
use of the second-class mails on
December 6, 1919. for alleged un-
patriotic utterances, won it's fight,
Wednesday in the District Supreme
Court to compel Postmaster General
Albert S. Burleson to restore this
right.
Justice Hitz decided that the
Postmaster General had exceeded his
authority in speculating on what
sort of matter the New York Call
might carry in its columns in the
future.
Postmaster General Bu-lcson
acted on what he assumed was con-
tanned in the espionage act in shut
ting off the second class mailing
privilege from the paper. But JUS
tice Hitz states that this act, even
as amended. contained no express
grant of authority to the Postmas-
ter General to exercise whatever
power the act gives him. by a blan-
ket order operating in the future
upon issues of a periodical publica-
tion not yet in existence.

as a direct result of the coal short

rspidity. More amazing still, is the

government is paying out chomage
money - government allowance to

More than 1.4OO. 900 marks
have been distributed in cnOmage

Wages Increased.
Wages, say competent business
men. constitute more than IS per
cent OF the cost OF nearly every
thing produced in Germany today
In eace times they were a little
more than so per cent. The for
eign correspondence Of the lr0CiDg
export concerns proves beyond
doubt that Germany. for a long time
to come, is eliminated from the field
Of keen competition in the finished
produce markets Of the world.
Foreign Trade Lost.

came too high, and that in spite OF
the difference in exchange, they
could not compete successfully with
