WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-The nomi-

state chairman of North Carolina, to
be Federal Attorney for the Western
North Carolina District, was confirmed
to-day by the Senate after opposition
had been voiced over his position on
the question of negro voting. The vote
was 81 to IT,
Mr. Linney was charged with having
prevented voting of North Carolina
negroes and also was criticized for his
alleged statement that he favored ap-

white persons as we'll as negroes.
Confirmation was voted behind closed
doors, and a veteran Senator said the
discussion over the race question was
like former "bloody shirt" debates.
Party lines were divided, but the roll
call was ordered kept secret.

INNING RANT DEPORTATION

President Harding is credited with
having temporarily saved 800 Armen-
ian immigrants from being sent back
to Turkey by ordering their deporta-
ton delayed until a conference can
be held in Washington to consider the
problems created by exceeding month
ly quotas.
The charge has been made that
steamship companies are responsible
for much of the confusion and dis
tress caused by the enforcement of
the present law regulating the ad-
mittance of aliens to this country. If
that can be shown to be true it ought
to be possible to discourage any efforts
they may be making to encourage
emigration from foreign lands. If the
steamship companies were made re-
sponsible for excess numbers landed
at Ellis Island and made to pay a
heavy fine for each one, the fine to
go to the immigrant, and then COM
PEELED to return the deported ones to
the port of embarkation, these COM
panies would be very careful about
bringing here any persons in excess
of the number that can be admitted.
Either that or else the monthly
quotas should be made yearly quotas.

SAM eoMPeas' EVIL TONGUE

Sam Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, is
credited with declaring at Baltimore
that "those who are in commercial,
industrial and political control OF our
country" are responsible for more
than 100000 of it's wage earners
being out of work. He is quoted as
charging that these ills have been
thrust upon labor by commercial
and industrial interests trying to set
up an industrial autocracy" to reduce
wages and enslave American work
men.
II Sam Gompers does not know that
it was excessive wage demands for
labor unproductivity which made it
impossible for consumers to buy and
industries to operate his intellectuals
need a straitjacket. II Sam Gompers
knows that truth, but goes on never
theless with his blatant rant that con-
sumers can or will pay any price for
nothing, his morals need an introduc-
tion to the Ten Commandments.
In either case Sam Gompers's is an
evil tongue, which makes incalculable
misery for his dupes, who trust him
to show them how to gain their daily
bread without earning it.-New York

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-"Excluding

ton of Lloyd's Register of Shipping

dent, Hon. Jonathan Bourne Jr. This
is an increase of about 100000 tons
since June 80, 1914. Within this per-
iod the steam tonnage of the United
States has multiplied six times while
that of the United Kingdom has gain

nearly rs per cent as much seagoing

AS EFFECTIVE AS LYNcHINe

On a Friday morning recently two
negroes committed a heinous crime in
Wayne county, Georgia. BY the fol-
lowing Wednesday morning the Grim
inals had been caught, indicted by
jury in open court at the county seat,
found guilty and sentenced to death.
That sentence is soon to be executed.
The whole proceedings, says an At
lanta newspaper with pardonable
pride, passed off with dignity, order
and precision" The community in
which the crime was perpetrated is
satisfied, and all the more so because
fundamental justice has been done
without any sacrifice Of self-respect.
The only excuse for lynching has
been its effectiveness. The legal pro-
cedure in this case was just as effec-

ing in criminal cases that involve
race prejudice or invite the moral
hatred of communications On.

Der of workers in 1914 was greater by
very wide margin than is true to-
day. The Secretary says to get
true perspective and a fair conclusion
as to the real industrial situation to
day, the unemployment figures OF to-
day must be read in relation to the
winter OF 1894. compared to which
we are much better of.
Era Of Democratic Tariff
Although Secretary Davis does not
attempt to explain the reasons for the
unprecedented idleness in 1913 and
1914, records show that II was due to
the fact that the Underwood tariff had
begun to get in its work. Following
its enactment, unemployment began
to increase at once as industries be-
gan to slow down because OF the in
creasing flow of foreign importations.

SECRETARY OF LABOR
CORRECTS EXAGGERATED
REPORTS OF IOLENESS

WASHINGTON, Oct. Secretary
of Labor Davis has issued n state
ment which confirms what has been
said in these columns upon several
occasions. namely: that the extent of
unemployment in this country has
been grossly exaggerated: and that
the statement issued by the Depart
ment of Labor some weeks ago to
the effect there are approximately
5000, 900 less names on payrolls now
than there were early in 1920 does
not by any means Indicate that there
is anything like nearly 100000 men
out OF work.
Upon this particular point Secretary
Davis says: THE statement has been
constantly made in the news and edi-
torial columns of newspapers that the
Department OF Labor has reported
5.T35, 900 men as being out of work.
The Department OF Labor has re-
ported no such thing. II did report
that. according to the best estimate
that could be made. there are 5.735. 900
fewer men, women and children on
payrolls now than there were in
March. 1920. That is a very different
matter from saying there are 5.735. 900
men unemployed" In the opinion OF
the Secretary OF Labor. not more than
one third of the 5.735,0 people are
the principal bread winners OF fam
lilies.
