GREAT EXPONENT OF LIBERTY

The first great democrat in England
was Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester,
who was slain in battle 6s4 years ago as
the leader of the rebelious barons. Simon
de Montfort was also the spokesman for
the great masses of the people, and he held
that it was the duty of the mobiles to stand
between the people and the monarch as
guardians of their liberties, to watch over
the exercise of the royal power and pre-
vent its abuse. In the great battle of
Lewes in 1854 the barons, under the COM
mand of de Montfort, completely defeated
the king and the royalist party. In the
battle of Evesham on August of the fol-
lowing year the tables were turned and the
barons sustained ruinous defeat Dur
ing the brief period of Simon's ascendency,
however, he had laid the foundation for
the house of commons and had inspired
in the breasts of the people a devotion to
liberty and democracy never to be stamped
cut by royal oppression. every king is
ruled by the laws" declared Simon de
Montfort, and he held that the "gen-
erality" should have hand in the max
ing of the laws by which they, as well az
rhe monarch, were to be governed. Simon
de Montfort's immortal place in history is
indicated by the reverent title historians
have given him-"the Father of the Eng
lish House of Commons. "-Ex.

WE ARE MEN

Whether we sit in the learned halls,
Or beg our bread at the cottage door,
Softly dance at the gorgeous balls,
Or hardened sinner stepped in vice,
We are men.
Hoeing cotton or picking corn,
Stating case in law profound,
Galloping to the hunting horn,
Or netting fish in the stormy sound,
We are men.
White or black, in the jungle shade,
Yellow or brown in their fields of rice,
Virtuous saint, in his garment staid,
Or ragged sinner stepped in vice,
We are men.
Followers of the Christian Cross,
Worshippers of the Rising Sun,
Believers in their sticks of joss,
Adorers Of the Triune One,
We are men.
We are men on the battlefield
Rich and poor together Wed,
Black and white their weapons WELD,
White and black together died,
We are men.
We are men, whate'er our station
Praise our talents or condemn.
Nature makes great variation,
But age remembers all are men.
Yes, we are men.

and exercises a power over the
economic destiny Of the United
States. 1t shows that within the
identical capitalist group lies the
power 20 adjust or misadjust rela-
tive prices in a manner that will
stimulate or suppress industrial
activity. 1t points out that this
focal capitalist group has delib-
erately maintained high prices OF
steel, coal, cement and other basic
materials and that the railroads,
financed by the same interests,
have refused to place the orders
for plant maintenance, or even the
orders necessary TO prevent plant
and equipment deterioration.
Closely Bound Together.
1.-THE exhibit shows that the
greater factors in American in
dustry, the railway equipment pro-
ducers, the railway repair works,
the steel interests, the coal, cement
and other basic material producers
all are closely bound together by
Intercepted relations and inter-
locking dircctorates, coming TO
focus in the House Of Morgan.
1.-THE railway employees make no
issue as to the propriety of a CEN
tralized system of economic con-
troll. The point Of the exhibit Is
its challenge of the unconscionaole
misuse which the great combine
has made of It's power. The en-
Dloyes cal! attention to the national
responsibility which the possession
of such power entails and note that
this responsibility in the case OF
the railway industry has been re-
cognized and written into the fed
eral laws OF the United States, and
the employees specifically point out
that this responsibility is being I'M
scrupulously evaded. s.
Roads Pleading Poverty.
1.-THE railroads are pleading pow
erty. The banks are making I'M
precedented profits and declaring
Unprecedented dividends, and the
same applies to steel, coal, railway
equipment and similarly situated
concerns. The capital combine, in
preparing to precipitate unemploy-

way improvement programs were

Chicago, April 1s.--Charges that
a 'capital combine" headed by
twelve New York financial insti-
tutions lnaugurated a policy of ma
tionwide shutdowns, was made to-
day before the United States rail-
road labor board by w. Jet Lauck,
economist for the unions which are
fighting any reduction, in hearings
before the United States railroad
labor board.
MIR. 1auck named about 100 men
who through interlocking director
ships, he claimed, cen 'ered in these
dozen institutions control of the
majority OF the country's important
railroads, and of basic raw ma
terials. He charged that:
This inter-related capital group
deliberately debated the farmers
and then undertook by precipitat-
ing Industrial stagnation, to deflate
labor"
Carriers the Chosen Vehicle.
The railroads, he asserted, were
the chosen vehicle for this labor
drive. Layoffs Of repair men on
railroads in recent months, he
charged, were made deliberately,
while much OF the repair work was
let TO outside companies who
charged the rbads about twice what
the same repairs would have cost
in their own shops. One purpose,
he said, was to get this portion Of
railroad labor out Of government
jurisdiction by forcing 1t TO WORK
for the outside concerns. These
concerns, he said, were largely I'M
der this same financial control as
the roads.
The document that Mr.. Iauck
presented made about l25, 900
words. 1t was prepared by the
American Federation OF Labor
bureau OF research, railway en-
ployeS department, and entitled,
Human Standards and Railroad

The dozen New York financial
institutions as named were:

Mr.. Lauek charged that these
banks had directors in ninety-two
class one railroads. and in twenty
railroad equipment companies, that
their directorships reached twenty
four coal railroads and coal com
panies, and that through non bank
ing directors this alleged capital
combine was still further inter
locked. Mr.. Lauck summarized the
report as follows:
THE evidence shows there is a
