day and Prescott Visit Hard
ing and Daugherty.

E. F. Colladay, Republican ma
tional committeeman from the Dis
trict of Columbia, and Samuel j..
Prescott, vice chairman of the Dis
trict Republican Committee today
made calls on the President, the At
torney General and the Secretary OF
State. They said that the visits
were merely to pay their respects.
DENY POLITICAL ASPECT.
While both denied there was any
political aspect to their calls, It vas
persisted by Republicans in Wash
ington that the call on Attorney Gea-
eral Daugherty was significant at this
time because the office of the District
Attorney comes under that member OF
the Cabinet.
1t was definitely learned today thai
the Republican committee has not rec
commended any man for the District
Attorneys office. 1t was said that the
committee has submitted to the AZ
torney General and to the President
the names of three lawyers here :"r
consideration. but no specific recon-
mendation was made.
b The names presented for District
Attorney are Samuel McComas Hawk
en-. Peyton Gordon and James NJ.
Proctor. Each candidate has his
own particular hackers and they are
pushing their individual candidates
to the limit 1t is supposed that the
District Attorney will be named early
next week.
LEE IS INDORsED.
1t was also learned today that only
one candidate so far has the indorse-
ment of the Republican leaders here
tor United States marshal to succeed
Maurice Splain. Ralph w. Lee has re-
ceived their approval, but 1t was said
the Endorsement would not prevent
them from switching IL John w. Fen
ton, jr. should be put forth with
strong recomme ndation.
Colladay went on record today in
favor of returning to the custom Of
having a negro appointed to the Of
flee of recorder Of deeds. He is in
sistent, however. that the appointee
be local man, and that the admin
istration shall not go outside of Wash
ington in making the selection.
For the postmastership of Washing
ton Edgar c. Snyder Is the most promi-
nently mentioned candidate, with sew
eral other prominent Republicans as
runners-up.
1t was said today that there Is
available in Washington so much
good timber. for the Offices which are
distributed as patronage to the Re-
publicans that 1t has developed into
case of sitting out available men,
and not seeking, them.

new Plan TO
SMASH UNIONS
Hapgood Believes Strike lnsur.
ance Companies Work to Kill
! Collective Bargaining,
BY NORMAN HAPGOOD.

If labor sometimes seems unrea-
sonable, as in certain aspects Of the
railroad fight, it should never be
forgotten that it is fighting for all
the progress of several decades.
1t is convinced that under every
specific move of capital at the pres
ent moment there lies the same pur-
pose-the breaking down Of labor
Joint action, the introduction Of the
"open" shop closed to unions.
INSURE AT Low RATE.
A most terrible fact has just come
to my knowledge. There have re-
Gently been formed, both in this coun-
try and in England, strike-breaking
companies. They deal with the
smaller employers. The big ones do
not need them. The big ones can
insure themselves.
These companies will insure an en-
ployer for as much as he makes, or
more. They insure him at q low rate.
OF course, after he has taken out
such insurance he tends to become
more arbitrary, less conciliatory with
HIS labor. Therefore, strikes become
more likely.
A question Immediately occurs to
you: II the insurance itself tends to
increase the risk. how can the COM
panies afford to give low rates? No
doubt you have guessed the answer to
the question at the moment you asked
it. They could not afford 1t II they
were run on legitimate insurance
principles. They can exist only as q
screen behind which the big employ
ers, in the present determined drive
against labor. are willing to guaran-
tee the smaller employers If they also
will join in the fight. These strike
insurance companies are nothing ex-
cept one more club of the big employ
ers to beat unionism to death.
MINERS CASE IN COURT.
The aspect Of this war that we have
most vividly before us at the moment
Is the railroad situation. Is 1t to be
wondered that the unions were Bit
terly disappointed when the roads
passed back into private ownership?
What they saw as a result to. them
was not a question OF immediate
wages, but a great step in the war
against them.
There Is now before the Supreme
Court case in which there will prob
ably be upheld a verdict for $500 900
against the United Mine Workers.
There will also be $50, 900 damages. A
large part Of the funds of the miners
have been tied up in the litigation.
The members of the mining unions
are becoming frightened. Many of
them are resigning from the unions.
They foresee their personal savings
being attached, and they think it safer

There is another case before the
Supreme Court In which a decision
adverse to labor Is also confidently
expected. 1t is another test of
whether the Clayton act was intended
to mean anything, only this time II Is
the Clayton act re-enacted in State
court.
When the backbone was taken out
of that act in the duplex decision, one
Of the most famous jurists in the
United States said 1t was not an at

his opinion, mere determination Of
the judges to limit the rights of labor,
or in other words to support existing
property conceptions where they
clash with the effort of labor to i'm
prove its standards Of living.
MOVE ALL ALONG THE LINE.
The attempt being made all along
the line to break down collective bar
gaining is undoubtedly looked on by
the more Bourbon capitalists as a re-
turn to freedom and equality. Their
idea of fair and equal bargaining Is
for an enormous aggregation of capi-
tai to act as a unit in making terms
with John Smithski. helpless single
laborer. A diplomat the other day
told me short story that fairly rep
resents such conceptions of equality.

1 was talking yesterday with a man
whose grasp of railroad facts has
made his name a household word.
He conceded that the failure of the
roads to make good since they went
back to private control had many
legitimate excuses. He thinks they
are inefficient, but also handicapped
by the fact that rates are made for
them, by water competition and by
the nonmovement at present of the
most lucrative freight, such as coal
and ores. He said:
"The one thing I cannot forgive
them for is not knowing when they
were well Off. The war gave them a
chance to get rid of their troubles
and save their investment and they
had no more sense than to cry for
their roads back again. That is
