So ENCOURAGING
Harding upsets Aims OF Hall
Dozen Faithful Senators in
Recent Selections.

Internstfs.ai News Service.


Having been In tho White House
but little more than three months
and with great bulk OF patronage
Harding's Administration already has,
come into open conflict with six
Republican members of the United
States Senate over the award OF jobs
to the faithful. and II has encountT
cred less open opposition from
number OF others.
The Senatorial courtesy. and con-
sideration" which was expected TO
clear the patronage road of many
thorns for President Harding be-
cause Of his having been a sitting
member of the Senate when elected
to the Presidency has failed to work
as smoothly as had been anticipated.
DIFFICULTIES AHEAD.
II the ffrst three months, during
which only the surface has been
taken on the patronage dish, can
be taken as q criterion IL became
apparent today that more serious diff
ficulties are ahead of the President
in the filling of thousands OF places
at his disposal
Postniasterships have not yet been
approached. and there Is keen COM
petition for the jobs already APP
parent The placing Of majority OF
the postmasterships under civil serv-
ice made the Presidents task great
deal easier. but there is still enough
political flavor to the Jobs TO cause
much lighting.
A number OF Senators have had
their feelings hurt by appointments
being made in their own States
without their having been consulted.
In several, instances bitter political
enemies of Senator'S have been named
to posts
MANY DIsAPPoINTsrENTs-
Senators Spencer of Missouri, John
son OF California. Willis of Ohio, who
occupies President Harding's old seat:
Frelinghuysef OF New Jersey. Pen
rose of Pennsylvania and Lodge Of
Massachusetts, are among those who
have experienced patronage difficult
ties at the White House. The first
| named three-Spencer. Johnson and
willis-have openly and publicly
fought against the confirmation by
the Senate OF some of the Presidents
selections. Most Of the difficulty can
be traced back to State organization
fights.
Senator Spencer was the first Re-
publican Senator to break into open
fighting as a result of appointments.
He held up and almost succeeded In
defeating the confirmation OF ChsI les
c. Madison to be district attorney in
the Kansas City district.
Spencer was followed by Senator
Johnson in his opposition to David III.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC GIVEN DEATH
BLOW

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 9-Hydro elec
trio is dead. The measure considered
the most important coming before the
present session Of the state Legislature
was given its last rites today when the
house moved that consideration of
both bills, one adopting the oommis
sion report and locating the plant at
Mobridge and the other submitting
the location to the people, be indeti
tely postponed. An effort was
made by some members to limit the
postponment for one week in order
that some means might be determined
to resurrect the proposition, but this
was voted down.
The general attitude of the mem
bers was that so long as the senate
killed similar bills Tuesday, it was
useless TO waste further time and ef
fort in the house. The Mobridge
and Mulehead delegations which have
been CONSPICUOUS during the session
abandoned their headquarters and
lefu for home.
The hydro electric agitation devel
oped two years ago when the legisla
ture appropriated fifty thousand dol
lars for Investigation of the feasibility
Of such plant and authorized the
creation OF the hydro electric comis
sion. These engineers found site
Gu the Missouri river four miles above
Mobridge which they considered the
most feasible. The commission spent
approximately $4,000 for plans of the
proposed plant and site investigation.

HOW HAROLD KOENIG DIED

Mrs. j A. Burns, this week received
the following letter from Private Gail
Stricklett, OF Blair, Nebraska, giving
more Of the intimate details Of the
death OF her son Harold Koenig, who
with twenty four of his pals and com
rades met death on the battlefield
October 24th, 1918. With the per
mission of MRS. Burns, we publish
the letter which no doubt will be read
with interest by Harold Koenigs many
old friends:
Blair, Nebraska, Janua'y 3lst, 1921
Mrs. j A, Burns
Wood, South Dakota
Dear Friend:-
feel safe in using this salutation
because | was intimate with your de
ceased sou, Harold Koenig He was
wounded on the morning Of October
oath, 1918, in the Banthevllle Woods
when the third platoon of company c
was put out of action. (The event is
narrated in The Dud" beginning
with the last paragraph on page l36)
In memory tonight, turn again to
that most horrible scene of my life.
As | look back at that period of su-
preme agony when twenty four of the
best pals of my life were StrewD help
essl y on the ground as result OF
three long range German shells, am
prone to sentiment, sympathy and
kindness.
In this emergency nearly all the
men of the two remaining platoons
we're detailed to evacuate our unfortu
nate comrades. Pvt. Sitter took Medic
Gilberts place, ably assisted by Pvt.
Hoffman the wounded men received
| field aid
The morning was clear and cold and
in spite of the fact that the wounded
we're covered with blankets and over
coats they were chilled to the bone-
some of the boys were crying in pain.
Harold was hit in the stomach, re
ceived medical attention, made com
Portable as possible by Pvt. Sitter
and was conscious until the end. He
kept pleading for someone to carry
him to the rear out of this shell men
aced area az an enemy barrage was
kept up hearly all day.
Since Harold was a big, heavy man
it required four men to bear his
stretcber through this underground OF
brush and trees. Another soldier and
| were assigned 20 stretcher but We
were only able te pick out the light
men, and II they were badly wounded,
we we're not able to carry them.
| shall never forget how your sou
pleaded to be carried out but it was
utterly impossible for me to admins
ter this favor. In regard to him say
ing any last words we were ali to ner
vous and excited to remember any
thing definite.
Your son was more than game and
owing to this most of the boys we're
under the impression he was not as
bad of AS he really was. made my
last trip to the woods where the
wounded msn were about the middle
Of the afternoon and found that the
angel of death had signalled our brave
and noble friends tired eyelids to
close. His spirit had slipped into
that shcreiess sea ot eternity.
regret to revive these sad memor
les but, Mrs. Burns our companion
ship with Halold was always pleasant
aud inspiring, and his conduct at all
times was such ss to win the highest
respect of the entire company,
Yours sorrowfully moved,

AN EFFECTIVE CHECK

A PPARENTLY the new immigration
"A law is going to be an effective
check to the swarms that have been
landing at our ports. The putting OF
an arbitrary limit on the number OF
each nationality that shall be admitted
in any one month is having the expected
result. The steamship companies have
no desire to return rejected immigrants,
and they will be careful to see that no
more are taken aboard in Europe than
can be landed in America. Two days
before the 1st of August several immi-
grant ships waited without the three
mile limit because they knew that their
passengers were from countries whose
July limit of acceptable immigration
had been reached.

SHIPMENTS BY TRUCK

0NE result of high freight rates in
~ the West is to induce the ship
ment of live stock to market by truck.
Recently 20 per cent. of days hog
shipments to Omaha came by truck,
and so per cent of sheep to St. Joseph
markets were delivered in the same
way. It's estimated that 1921 truck
shipments will be more than 5000, 900
head Of cattle, hogs and sheep. OF
course all that means loss to the rail-
roads, which, in turn, are helpless be-
cause of their inability to reduce freight
rates in the face of exorbitant labor
costs. Unless the roads are soon put
on their feet by readjustment of wages
commensurate with deflation that has
taken place in other lines of industry,
transportation by rail will have received
a permanent set back through the
development Of auto truck lines.

THE LOYAL LEGION

THE Loyal Labor Legion has been
1 organized in New York City to
press for the rights of the public and
unorganized wage earners in labor dis
putes. The Legion stands for the open
shop, the right Of the public to be rep
resented in labor controversies, the
necessity of courts Of arbitration with
power to enforce their DEGREES, and the
settlement of differences between en-
ployers and employees without inter-
vention by persons not personally af-
fected by or direct parties to the
matters in controversy"
1t is significant that more than 80
per cent. of the membership of the
new organization is composed of elected
officials of American Federation of
Labor trade unions. A committee has
been appointed to inform unions
throughout the country of the new
principles endorsed by the organization,
and to take measures for bringing all
organized labor into line for their
acceptance. The control of labor by
MIR. Gompers and his radical lieutenants
is threatened by the new movement, as
is indicated by preliminary statement
given out by the head of the Legion as
follows
"The Loyal Labor Legion is fully
sensible of the tremendous opposition
that will be aroused by its action, and
is prepared to make most aggressive
campaign against powerful influences
in the American Federation of Labor.
The Legion is convinced that the ex-
tremely offensive and militant attitude
of numerous labor leaders is harmful
to the cause of labor, that old time
methods must be discarded as having
outlived their usefulness, and that ar
entirely new system of handling dis
putes between wage earners and EN-
ployers must be practiced.
"Labor's unenviable position to-day
with some 100000 A. F. of l.. mem
bers and 1900, 900 unorganized worker
out of employment, of whom abou
100000 are idle in this city, is due i
large part to the unwise leadership o
men who ran amuck and called hun
dreds of strikes Immediately following
the war. When the greatest need wa
increased production, reckless labo
leaders encouraged their followers
make impossible demands, compellin
hundreds of plants to suspend opers
tions.
"Organized labor needs new birtf
The doctrine of peace and prcsperit
must displace that of rule or ruiz
New membership and new vision mus
enter the A. F. of L. from top
bottom, and principles and methoe
accepted that will bring peaceful agre
ment on reasonable bases rather ths
destructive warfare for unattainab
demands"

while there were numerous sharp
