l
 edly refused to adhere to tht bargains it has made in it' collective capacity, the con suming public is weary o1 paying the bills caused by the irrespcnsibility of labor to keep it's agreements.
 The election was a direct repudiation of Gompers and his followers.
 Gompers does not always get away with everything ir sight, and he does not al ways get away with every; thing in the labor organiza- tions-at least not that which is nailed down.
 This mischievous labor union politician has been en- deavoring for more than twenty-five years to peddle the workingman at every election-to vassal their franchise to every element in politics-and his last at tempt to hand it over lock ed, sealed and cleated was a dismal failure.
 The short work day has at least given the toilers a chance to think.
 In the states where he had made arrangements for delivery to Cox, Harding re- ceived the largest majori- ties. Gompers always op- erated on the theory that "there was a sucker born every minute" and that he was the lawful fisherman to string them and change the bait at his will.
 Evidently, the rank and file of the labor element slipped Sammy a dose of his own medicine last Tuesday when they double-crossed him.
 The sane element of or ganized labor have always laughed at the pretensions of Gompers that he could lead them to the polls by the halter and vote them the way he wanted - not the way they wanted.
 The lunch counter at the White House for the Comp CTS bunch was closed Tues day at least temporarily, and it is presumed that Saw ing Sam cleaned up enough in the campaign to avoid a hunger strike.
 Arizona has had it's full share of labor troubles in the recent past, and this fact was not lost sight of when the state swung into the republican column and endorsed a man for the vice. presidency who has spent a lifetime endeavoring to show blind labor the light.

never had seen a recession.
 It would require more
 than an expert hair splitter
 to define the difference be-
 tween carrying on credit for
 gradual distribution a mil
 lion or ten million tons of
 raw materials used in in-
 dustry to prevent a too
 rapid break in prices, and
 carrying on credit a part of
 the wheat crop on the farms
 to prevent a collapse of
 prices. The wheat crop will
 be carried over anyhow, for the world will not buy more
 than it needs, but it will be carried over in such manner as to put the profit from prices stabilized to the con- sumer into the pockets of somebody beside the farmer.
 Farming is naturally a speculative undertaking, the farmer a natural specula- tor, for his fortune rides on the tickle wind and his profits may disappear with an early frost. Even with all the uncertainties of weather and other condi- tions beyond his control, the the farmer knows that un- der the free law of averages he can make out. But he has learned that he never can make out if he is hood winked by a shell game which shows him s for a bushel of wheat when he is producing it in June and only | $2 a bushel when he is mark eting it in September and October.
 Unless the country is pre- pared to have the farmer curtail his crops in the fu- ture and thwart the very doctrine of increased pro- duction preached from every housetop as the only way back to abundance and comfort, an attentive and sympathetic ear must be turned toward the tiller of the, soil and sincere minds must devise remedies for the conditions which give rise to his complaints. Give the credit it | needs and provide a fair for it's crops, or the day will come when it will make the market on its own terms.

A SWAT FOR THE ACITATOR

made possible Dy the result of the recent landslide tC the republican party-the fact that the voters of the country are not in sympa- thy with the professional la bor agitators who, for more than a quarter of a century. have been fighting for a short work day and long pay on the promise to the pub lie that such a policy would produce more per hour per man. The public eventu- ally believed the representa- tions thus made by labor leaders, and the eight-hour day has become almost uni versal in the United States with a wage scale of $1 an hour or better for practi- cally any kind of skilled la bor.
 The employers of the country have finally awoke to the fact that they have been bunked. In the print ing and allied crafts, and all other lines of labor are in the same boat-not more than 10 per cent of the men that are toting a certificate of membership" to their par ticular craft are competent workmen- they figure their ''card" should make up for all their deficiencies as a workman. And this is where the bunk comes in.
 A summary of the results under the short hour and high pay has been a sur prise and a disappointment.
 Instead of added incen- tive for work, high pay and short hours have apparently bred contempt of honest la bor and pride in efficient workmanship. The story is the same the country over, inferior goods and decreased production per man power. More money to spend and more time for pool and loaf ing seems to have been a curse instead of a blessing to many workmen.
 AS the manager of one of the oil wells puts it. "I have a driller at work, one coming and one going at all times"
 We are now facing a re- adjustment period which is going to be a leveler of many things. The profit eering industry and the prof iteering workman are go- ing to be swept into the dis card. The public has cheer fully paid high wages for short hours, but with falling labor production and ineffi- ciency on the increase, the public IS beginning to revolt | at holdup tactics, and is go- ing to demand a days work for a days pay.
 No better evidence of this fact is needed than the election of Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts, as vice president-a man who has devoted a lifetime endeavor- ing to defeat the aims of what we term "agitators."
 Five years ago, when Coolidge was standing out against labor dictation, the concern or individual who stood with him faced severe criticism.

CITIZENS POSSE
 CAPTURE NEGROES
FugitiveS Wanted for Criminal Assault, Wound Deputy
 Sheriff and Three Others
By Associated Press

Columbus. Ga, December s.-Eour
 white men are wounded, one negro is shot in the foot and two negroes are in
 jail as culrlination of a battle at the
 home of l.. '. Hill, one of the negroes in custody, six miles from Pittsview. Ala, early this morning, following an Alleged attempted attack upon the wife of a we'll
 known white citizen of Russell county,
 Alabama.
 The negro made his escape from the home of the white man, after covering the latter and his wife with pistol. Ie is said to have backed to the door and then dashed into the darkness. Riot guns were dispatched from here early today by Chief Moore, following a
 request from Hurtsboro, which stated that six white men had been slain and that eight negroes had barrcaded them selves within a house and the posse was
 unable to get within shooting distance. The men wounded were Deputy Sheriff ; H. T. Dozier, bullet in left shoulder and
 gunshot would in wrist and side: G. A.
 Hart, wounded in knee with gunshot and in shoulder by bullet; Walter Bagley, face peppered with birdshot; Joe Bagley, pistol wound in the right side and also in left side.
 L. c. Hill, the negro accused of having attempted to commit the alleged assault was shot when he resisted, it is said, as officers attempted to handcuff him. The four white men, with H. J. Ruth erford, l.. A. Brown, Robert Bagley and Julian Hunter, went to Hills home shortly after o'clock this morning with a warrant which the husband of the 1 woman had sworn out. It was agreed 1 that Deputy Sheriff Dozier should go to the door, while the others were stationed around the house. It was said that Do- zier called to Hill, who is said to have ! replied that he could not go until morning.
 My wife is sick and I will go any where you say then,'' the negro is quoted as saying.
 "I'll have to ask you to come along now" Mir. Dozier replied. Whereupon Hill struck light and be- gan dressing. A general rush of the party of deputized officers then followed, 1 it is said, and more than 100 shots were 1 fired load after load of buclSshot and l birdshot being fired, while some mem 1 bers of the party were armed only wifit l pistols.
 ! Hill was turned over to Sheriff Rag land, who went back to the house and arrested Cleveland Hill, his brother. I Pittsview people were entirely calm De- fore noon today and no further trouple | is anticipated s
