C0SSACK SYSTEM
WITHOUT STRIKE.
DUTY PROVISION
Minnesota Legislator Sees Way
to Create State Police By
Strike Duty Exemption.

No amount Of sophistry or soft
soap will induce the union workers. Of
Minnesota to support the proposed
bill to create a state police. The fact
that the bill itself will contain a
clause prohibiting the state police
from performing strike duty will not
and cannot divert labor from its pur-
pose, which is to keep the police
power as near to home as possible.
Representative Guy Dil1ey Of st.
Paul, who voted at the last session
Of the legislature for every bill fav-
ored by the special interests and op-
posed all bills the interests objected
to, is the sponsor of the state police
bill. It is said that DiIley has had
more to do with the police than any
other member of the legislature.
The anti-unionists would welcome
the Dilley state police bill as a starter,
after it is once admitted that the state
should take upon itself the power of
city and county officers, it will be
perfectly easy after. that to extend
the power and authority of the state
police, and sooner or later it would
become as much of a. menace to the
people of Minnesota as the "black and
tans'' are to Ireland.
After all, the daddies Of our con-
:stitutional system had pretty long
heads. They knew best how. to con-
serve and protect the little liberties
Of the many. They opposed the es-
tablishment of an army for police
duty. In our own state the members
of the constitutional convention wisely
gave to the people in the local COM
nsunities the sole right to say who
their police officers should be. They
believed liberty would be best pre-
served il the police and sheriffs could
be kept close to the folks at: home. j

only in such states as are or have

ers and have broken. them up, arrest
ing the leaders without warrant, just
as the Cossacks of Russia were wont
to do. That is why the state police
are known: as "cossacks'' among the
American workers.
We want none Of it in. Minnesota.
There is no need for it. The people
are now tax-ridden. Why burden

Gompers Says Well Known Pub

= WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-"There
are few literate Americans so poorly
informed" writes President Gompers,
in American Federationist, current
issue, on the charge made by Frank
Munsey, eastern newspaper publisher,
that ''the growing menaces Of our
country" are "organized labor, boil
shevism, socialism and I. w. W:-isn." !"
ut is almost impossible to deal
with such utterances in a spirit of
moderation" says President Gompers.
1T is difficult to resist the use of
the only kind of language that could
possibly make an impression on a
mind so closed to truth and so blind
to all the great facts OF the hour.
"Mr. Munsey's misstatements are
so glaring and SO bold that one won
ders whether he is merely deceiving
others or whether he is only deceiving
himself.
"Can it be that he actually believes
American trade unionism. bolshevism,
socialism and I. w. W.-ism to be
Identical? Can it be that he is so
profoundly ignorant Of the differences
between. the constructive and evolu-
tionary philosophy of the American
trade union movement and the revo-
lutionary and destructive, theories of
fantastic aggregations which he cou-
pies in the same breath with organ
lied labor?'' a..
ut is gratifying at least to- know
that If these are the views of Mr..
Munsey, there are few literate Ameri-
cans who are so poorly inform cd. j and
still fewer who make bold to so pub-
licly betray their lack Of informant lion.
'tPerhaps, since: that is. the. case,
it may be as well. to, let the public
be the judge. merely adding here that
he has. now successfully carved his
niche alongside the inches occupied
by Gary and the types of reactionary
industrial autocrats who believe they
have the mandate for oppression, re-
preston and mastership OF the masses
Of our people.
There is a philosophy in the spirit

Congressman Calls Attention
to Manner in: Which Federal
\ Tariff Laws Are Ire Evaded.

'WASHINGT0N,s Jan. 6.-In discuss
ing proposed tariff Legislation, in the
house Of, representatives. Congress-
man Griffin said:f " -:
1T is time to understand that there
are .nalign forces at work in this
country which have the will and
the power: to detk tariff laws and
check the operation of the laws of
supply and demand; forces that can,
by combination and secret agree
ments, create an artificial scarcity,
holding back from the markets the
products of labor and thus defy the
natural course Of the stream of COM
merce. People wondered, when, the
Underwood tariff bill was passed, why
the cost of living did not Immediately
decrease. 1t should have shown an
immediate response, but it did, not.
Why? Because those who should
have been competitors regulated i'm
ports to suit their own convenience,
and entered into secret trade agree
ments to uphold prices. Products
which could be stored in warehouses
or put in cold storage were deliber-
ately held by such methods out of
the market to maintain high prices.
when capital has such power as
this the time for tariff tinkering is
at an end. There is only one remedy,
and that is a policy of national regu-
lation, both OF imports and exports,
with the constant view Of maintaining
normal reasonable prices. The hit
and-miss policy of tariff schedules
must be Abandoned"
