IN WEST VIRGINIA,
NOT GUNNER

Citizens of Huntington, w. Va, are

TRADE UNIONS
ARE ESSENTIAL,
SAYS WATKINS

Prof. Gordon S. Watkins Of the
Economics department OF the Uniyer-
sity OF Illinois, spoke before the Open
Forum IN Bloomington, on the sub
ject OF trade unions.
Prof. Watkins once worked IN the
mines in Wales, and IN machine
shops, and carried union cards III
these organizations. Ills father was
an employer and opposed TO union
labor. Under such conditions Prof
Watkins says he mad an opportunity
to study both sides OF the question.
Alter an exhaustive and impartial
study, Prof. Watkins concludes thai
two great problems before the work.
ing class today are the lack OF Sc.
curity in employment, and the LACK
of participation IN the control OF IN.
dustry, workingmen have no control
over the Jobs at which they carr
their living. The speaker pointed
out that millions are on the verge OF
actual starvation today because OF
AN industrial arrangement whlcf
gives the workers no protection
against such conditions.
WHAT the world must needs to-
day. said the speaker, rs to Chris
tianize industry. Industry must be
made To function Tor humanity and
not humanity Tor industry" The
American Federation of Labor, the
speaker characterized as "one of the
most conservative and constructive
agencies we have, and Mr.. Gompers
its president, Is the strongest antag-
onist of socialism in the world to-
day. We need have no fear of the
present tendencies of labor IN this
country"
1t was indeed interesting to see
Henry Aliens handmade cant
strike" court of Kansas ridiculed by
college professor. Mr.. Watkins
regards the Allen court as an I'M
pleasant joke. lie sees it ''as some
of the other laws we have on our
books, it works resided" The
speaker pointed out that, while the
Kansas court" seeks TO prohibit
strikes of the workers, to make
strikes a criminal offense and pun
ishable by law, it does not prevent
the employers forcing obnoxious
conditions upon the workers such as
to justify a strike and bring about
situation for which a strike would
be the only remedy.
In accordance with custom of the
Forum, Prof. Watkins, at conclusion
of his address, answered many ques-
tons put to him from the audience.
Asked his definition of "Bolshe-
vik," the professor promptly re-
piled, ut is one who does not believe
as l." He was asked if he did not be-
believe that organized labor in this
part of the country was quite conser-
vative in its policies, and he replied
81 certainly do, indeed" Labor men
who heard the address feel that they
were well repaid for their efforts to
attend.

Notes of the Printers.

The Review this week is all dolleG

do you think of it? Extra work was
necessary and a call for help was
readily responded to by day men on
other jobs. Let's hope that next
Christmas the Review can print sc
pages.

We wish to commend the brother of

excellent article in last weeks Re-
view on the benefits of organization

REPEAL PROFITS
TAX; FREE HAND
FOR BIG BUSINESS
"a. F. of l.. News Service)

Washington.-Big business has won
its fight for repeal of the excess
profits tax, and after this year the
merry game of gouging will be clear
velvet, without contributions to the
treasury department.
For months the people have been
told that this tax is check on bust
ness initiative, and men who pose as
leaders of the nation have joined in
the confusing hubbub, ignoring the
law, which provides tax not on nor
NAL profits, or large profits, but on
excess profits" Section 312 of the
law says:
THAT the excess profits credit
shall consist of a specific exemption
of $4,000, plus an amount of credit
equal to per cent of the invested
capital for the taxable year."
This means that after a business
man pays salaries to himself and as
sociate managers, wages to his en-
ployes, interest on his bonds, sets
aside substantial sums for a sinking
fund to care for outstanding indebt-
edness, etc., he may then set aside
$4,000 of his profits, and then an adj
ditional per cent of his invested
capital.
Then and not till then are his
profits subject to an s per cent tax
under the excess profits tax.
Even under these conditions the
capitalist can conceal large amounts
through a ruling that he may inven-
tory his plant at the present market
price rather than the original cost.
The treasury department esti-
mates that the excess profits for 1920
will amount to $S50,000,000 and that
this years tax will total about one
half that amount.
These vast amounts will be increas-
ed beyond computation in the coming
days of prosperity, but no portion
of them will assist in paying the ma
TONS debts.
The repeal of this law will put an
added war tax burden on the common
people, who are being called upon to
pay the staggering war debt, includ-
ing an annual interest charge of
81 0O0,000,000 ON the Liberty and
Victory bonds.

A typical illustration Of German
rule in Poland before freedom came
to its people is given by Mrs. Cecil
Chesterton In the New Witness. The
German military authorities had is
sued a command to the people Of War

their metals and plate, from door
handles to samovars.
A German officer billeted In Polish
household, says Mrs. Chesterton,
found himself lonely on Christmas
day. The family was keeping the fes-
tival. and the officer sent q note ask
ing IL he might join the party. The
hostess was compelled to assent, and

lavish supper. 1t happened that his
hostess had kept back a silver samO-
var, which, usually secreted under the
bed, on Christmas day shone forth In
all its glory.
Some one suggested that It would
be wiser to remove the samovar be-
fore the Herr Lieutenant entered, but
the hostess insisted that he was there
as a guest and not as an enemy, and
that even a Prussian would respect
the bread and salt. The evening fol
lowing the party an unpleasant-loOk-
ing man came to the house accom-
panied by two German soldiers. he
had called to collect the samovar that
the Herr Lieutenant had reported. Not
only did he remove the samovar, but
he assessed fine because the law had
been disobeyed.
Shortly afterward the officer asked
his hostess why she avoided him
What had he done to offend herr She
could no longer restrain her indigna'

COMPARED TO
ANDES DISPLAY

Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the electrical discharge which
takes place either from the earth to
the clouds or from the clouds to the
earth around Brown Mountain is that
it is silent. The same thing is true
of the electrical displays in the Andes
which have long been known to SCI
entists and travellers in the South
American continent as the Andes
lightning. It appears as a silent
but very luminous discharge Of cleo
trieity along the crest of the Cordil-
lera Real in Chile, In region where
thunderstorms are practically un-
known.
Its visibility is sometimes very
marked, having been noted by the
former Director of the Meteorological
and Geophysical Institute of Chile.
while he was out at sea, more than
800 miles from the head cordillera.
The actual discharge, in which the
mountain acts as lightning rod be-
tween the clouds and the earth, re-
sembles a glimmer, but sometimes
the flashes which take place at the
point of origin are strong and power
full, then gradually diminish in in
tensity and finally disappear into the
night. The light flashes over the
mountain from the late spring to fall
and the displays. grow less brilliant
as one goes farther south.
THE same phenomenon has also
been noted in the Swiss Alps. One
observer, after long period of hot
and dry weather, reported that he
had seen a succession of semi-cir-
cular flashes which shot up from
mountain in the Bernese Overland,
occasionally lightning the Jungfrau
group. Such displays are notable
for their likness in appearance to the
aurora, except that they do not reach
such heights"
