lAB0R'S PROTEST
! BEFORE PRESIDENT
Secretary Morrison Takes
/ Federation's First Step in
Il Packing House Fight.

Protest against the violation Of
contract between the packers and
unions of their employees, entered
into with the sanction of the De-
partment of Labor, has been laid
before President Harding by Secre-
tary Frank Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor and is awaiting
his consideration.
Mr.. Morrison, in statement issued
today. declared that the violation of
contract, which was to be i'll effect
until one year after the declaration
of peace, was the basis of his visit
to the White House yesterday as the
representative of American labor.
Mr.. Morrison went to the White
House following the receipt of a
telegram addressed to President
Gompers announcing that 100000
workers in the packing houses
throughout the United States We're
ready to take q strike vote as q re-
suit of the wage decrease announced.
VIII Hold in Allegiance.
They have agreed to hold the mat
ter in allegiance until word is re-
ceived from the White House regard
ing the official outlook upon the sit
uation.
Il went to ask that the govern
ment, through President Harding,
use it's good offices to keep the pack
ers from refusing to abide by the
agreement which was entered into
with the sanction and under the
stamp of approval of the governm ment
as represented by the Department of
Labor" said Mr.. Morrison.
by reducing the wages without a
hearing the contract will have been
violated. We wish to prevent such
action"
Marks First Step.
This step marks the first in cam
paign decided upon by the American
Federation of Labor, at the meeting of
its executive council to uphold the pres
ent wage standards.
A definite campaign along these lines
may be launched in the near future
dovetailing with the campaign against
the non-union shop now being LAUGHED
by President Gompers in speeches in
various cities.
Secretary Morrison will leave Wash
ington tomorrow to take the stump
against the open shop" President
Gompers is expected to return to the
city within the next few days. He de-
livered an address in Boston last night.

OIlR AMENDs no MIR. JONEs.

NVTiILE The Evening Journal is not infallble in the
| w handling OF either editorial or news matter 1t
prdes itself upon being big enough and fair enough to
make frank amends when It has been convinced that 1t
has worked an injury upon any man, woman or child.
We always felt that such frank amends strengthen
us in individual and public respect and also in sef-re-
spect.
Some time ago the Rev. Edgar Jones rector OF ST.
Thomas Church, Newark delivered address before
the Mems Club Of ST. Andrews Church, this city His
tsubiect embraced Newfoundland and The Labrador In
the former he had served in a ministerial capacity in
parish that has 1000 parshoners the latter he had
done extensive missionary work the fishermen and
the full-breed and half-breed natives.
In foreword to his address, Mr. Jones said he wished
his auditors to dnerenate clearly between what he said
about Newfoundland and what he said about The Labfa
dor
Despite that request reporter for another newspaper
calmly and careessy proceeded to write story in which
all the nice things that Mr. Jones said about Nevfound
land and its up-todae features applied to The LaD
rador while all the things he said about that cold and
bleak stretch OF seaboard knownas The Labrador were
applied to Newfoundland The reporter for paper,
Just as carelessy and just calmly followed that lead

Keeping Debs In Prison
(From the New York Tribune).


That any considerable number OF
persons have an active desire to
keep Eugene V. Debs in prison is
unlikely. He is an old man, and as
such excites pity, and within the
limits OF his intelligence seemingly
is sincere. II, as through an act Of
grace, released, he would hardly
work irreparable harm.
But a very large number OF per-
sons object, and object rightfully,
to the sort Of argument on which
the appeal for the release OF Debs
and others convicted of violation Of
the espionage law is based. 1t is
said these men are political prison.

granted to them as such. 1t is i'm

persecution grew out OF a state of
general hysteria and that ,the pub
lie should in effect apologize for its

In America we have no such
thing as a political prisoner. Men
are indicted for specific offenses
against specific laws. There is only
one kind Of law and one kind Of
criminality, the essence Of the lat

political prisoner, as the term
is properly used. refers to one who

Lined Up For the Treaty
(FrOm the New York Heraid.)

The American people to a certainty
agree with President Harding that
the United States should be the first
to ratify the four Power treaty COW
ering the insular possessions in the
Pacific OF this country, Great Britain,
France and Japan.
IL was the United States, through
the inspiring initiative OF the Presi-
dent. which gathered the interna-
tional conference OF which this four
Power treaty Is the earliest definite
result Of solid substance. 1t was the
United states which felt the strong
est dislike OF the Anglo-Japanese
pact now scheduled, as soon as the
four Power treaty goes into effect, td
be scrapped. And IL was the United
states which refused to enter the
League OF Nations on the basis Of be-
ing subject to involuntary exercise Of
military force for the fulhlment Of
international agreements to promote
peace.
1t is the United states, therefore,
which, having headed the procession
in the enlightened departure from
century old militarism. should now
lead the way in making the four
Power treaty a working reality for
the adjuctment OF differences
In the Pacific, not by brute strength
but by the use OF plain sense.
The President is not going to try
to get the treaty driven roughshod
through the Senate. He is not going
to rush IT pell nell into the hands
( OF the Senate. He would very much
like to have this country ~ the head
OF the ratihers. but in his sober, well
poised way Of doing big things he
will give everybody time to reflect
on what the treaty is and what II
should achieve.
But when the United states SEN
ate gets the treaty It should ratify
with responsible despatch, as by
all signs 1t can. The spontaneous
declarations and informal polls OF
the senate membership show that the
Republican majority, with forty-one
on the list before Monday evening, is
so strongly lined up for the measure
as to make the rare exceptions start
ling by their very numerical meagre-
ness. we are sorry to see that our
friend Borah, one Of the great flg-
ures OF the Senate, is not in harmony
with the spirit OF America through
out and OF the Senate itself.
Even more gratifying to relate in
the circumstances than the approxi-
mate solidarity OF the Republicans is
that the fourteen Democratic mem
bers who already have stood forth
for the treaty outnumber the three
against It and the ten as yet nom
lcommittal put together.
