DIPLOMAT Halls LEAGUE
FOR ITS STURDY FIGHT

George Fred Williams, former Unit
ed States minister to Greece. is fol-
lowing the development of the Non
partisan league with undisguised SYM
pathy. In the cOurS of Il recent let
ter he said: ut is IL marvel to me how
the league has marched on steadily
against the tremendous opposition.
Now is a particularly hard time us the
whole capitalistic system is at bay
and fighting desperately. The Paris
conference was more concerned with
the reScuing of this system than it
was with the peace Of Europe. The
truth is that the rotten system is top
ping in Europe and our own masters
here dread the approach of a revolu-
ton.
" ''The only political movement which
is marching On calmly and confidently
toward Il better day is the Nonpar-
tisan league. and I only wish if were
in shape for Il definite national cam
paign this year. Perhaps. however,
1t would be better to work out the de-
tails first and show the world what
can be done in the way of Il radical
change without a violent revolution"

Coal OUTPUT Crows.

Contrary to predictions of mine OPP
orators that the new mining code en-
acted by the farmers legislature in
1919 would cut production and drive
many mines out of business, through
the eight-hour provision, the actual
production of the largest mines in the
state has doubled and the small mines
have all increased their output. These
facts are taken from the reports of an
Investigation by John Hanwell, mine
inspector. Mr.. Hanwell declares that
the mining force of the state is. shrink
ing, but says the men are so well salts
fed with the better working conditions
brought about by the enforcement of
the new law that they take greater in

LABOR LEADER WARNS
AGAINSTP0|S0NPRESS

James 81. Maurer, president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation of
Labor, took occasion in his presiden.
tial address to discuss the education
Of the workers and the influence of
the dishonest newspapers on the mind
of the public. He said in part:
Before. the workers are capable of
managing industry, government and
politics efficiently, they must under
stand the completely of each of these
thoroughly. The time is here when
labor must have schools which it can
own and control, and in which human
rights and social justice are placed
on a higher level than property rights.
"The cooperative will run industry
for service, and the parasites will
either die off or become respectable
and go to work and earn their own
living. I predict that within the next
year the workers of Pennsylvania will
own and manage at least a dozen
banks. There are few places in Penn
sylvania that cannct boast of a CO.
operative enterprise of some kind.
"ThuS do we see Il healthy and en-
couraging beginning toward industrial
democracy. The comparatively owned
factory, mill, mine and government
owned railroad is as sure to follow
present successes as day is sure
to follow night.
Cambasts Kept Press.
mo matter what the nature of the
strike or labor dispute, the press
stands ready to cruelty labor with its
lies, distortions, omissions. slime and
muck. Traitors to u cause are her
aided broadcast as respectable, clever,
safe and sane labor leaders, while
those who remain loyal to us and
serve us faithfully are branded as I'M
American, red radicals, bolshevists,
etc. The press as Il matter of fact,
with but a few exceptions is owned
body and soul by the great money
lords of the world. They are not
newspapers, but capitalists propagan-
da sheets. whose greatest crime is not
only in classifying and %distorting the
new and intimidating public officials,
but in omissions or suppression of
news. To many people the newspaper
is a text book, and thus we see the
great harm done by the prostitute
press"

Motorists Must Have Receipts.

Motor car owners Of the state are
now liable to arrest and fine if they
do not have receipts showing they
have applied for license to the motor
vehicle registration department. The
department has been unable to get
tags and is now 10000 behind in de-
livery. Less than 5000 car owners
throughout the state are delinquent
in sending in their money. Orders
are out to peace officers to require
motorists to show the receipts. Tag
manufacturers are responsible for the
delay in getting out the tags. Over
Z 1000 applications have been received
for tags but delivery has been made
on but $4,000 of these.

A NEW MODE OF LIFE

1t is a new mode of life that human.
ity seeks, not merely a new house to
live in. The changes that are now
taking place in the social order are
not mechanical but vital. not a mere
tinkering with the machinery of
human society but n of those ire
mendous upheavals which work a
new period in human living. One of
the great migrations of history is hap.
pening. 1t is not, as in the days past.
Il people swarming out to find new
pasture and new lands to till it is a

of more space for the development
of the human spirit.-Harry f. Ware
