Attorney General Checks Rolls;
May Lop Non Essential At
torneys at $4,000 Per.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 3d.
Attorney General Daugherty is check
ing. the rolls Of the department of
justice to learn whether there are
any more special attorneys or others
being retained and drawing heavy
salaries for work without value to
the public. The action is a direct
result Of the discharge Of II attor-
:neys engaged by A. Mitchell Palmer,
his predecessor, to help reduce the
cost of living. These attorneys, draw
ing $4,000 a year. simply continued
on the rolls until they were discov-
cred by the new officials.
The discovery has led all depart
ments to study their lists so they
may get rid of those set to work dur
ing the Wilson administration at high
salaries, but who no longer are need
ed. AS rapidly as located, they are
to be dropped as part Of the money
saving program sponsored by Presi-
dent Harding and to be put into prac-
teal operation by the reorganization
committee that is to have its first
meeting soon.
The II attorneys, located in diff
ferent parts of the country in offices
Of the United States attorneys, were
engaged by M. Palmer two years ago
or more when there was agitation
for the reduction Of the high cost of
living. They were expected to con-
duct prosecutions in the federal courts
under the emergency laws which
Woodrow Wilson proposed to congress
on the re recommendation Of Mr.. Palmer.
They also were expected to assist the.
department of justice in it's campaign
for reduction of living costs, which
came to naught.
The suspicion is that g. survey of
the rolls Of many of the departments
will reveal other cases of similar char
acter where friends of the last adj
ministration' have been going along,
drawing government pay. although
their work is over or without value
to the people. While in comparison
with the gross government expendi-
lures their salary total is small. it
will be saving, officials feel, which
taxpayers will appreciate in these
days of high taxes.

LABOR HOPES US,

Relations on Basis Of

DENVER, Colo, June SO.-Ex-
pressing the hope that Mexico would
soon be accorded recognition by the
ican Federation Of Labor convention
approved the action Of the American
delegates to the recent Pan-American
Federation of Labor convention, and
decided that hereafter there should
he an exchange Of fraternal dele
gates with the Mexican Federation or
Labor.
The report Of the committee on in
ternational labor relations, to which
the subject was referred, made the
following report which was adopted
unanimously:
I'VE commend the report of the
Pan-American convention to the care
6ul, thoughtful reading of every dele
gate. Mexico has been and is beset
with problems Of the most difficult
nature. Her working people struggle
and labor under grave and complex
burdens. We can only offer our help
and encouragement. The fundament-
ais Of solution must be the fruit Of
the thought Of the Mexican workers
and Of their experience"
American Greed.
I'VE are mindful Of the greed
which still seeks satisfaction in the
rich resources Of Mexico and inso-
far as that greed emanates from our
country We must feel bound to place
ourselves in opposition to it.

government and the Mexican govern

I'VE believe that an early adoption

1ations of the two nations on sound
and friendly basis, will do much to

Contact OF Workers.
I'm addition, we believe there
should be the closest contact between
the movements of the workers in both
countries. The Mexican workers have
bona fide trade union moveme nt,
as the report Of our delegation points
out. To the end that there may be
a better understanding and a more
harmonious relationship where it Is so
essential we recommend that the
American Federation of Labor invite
the Mexican Federation of Labor to
send to future conventions Of our
federation representative as frater-
nal delegate, and we recommend that
the American Federation Of Labor
keep in the closest possible relations
through correspondence with the
Mexican Federation of Labor"

DEMAG0GuE. IS FOR
"REGULATloN OF CAPITAL"

Judge Gary Of the steel trust has
declared for 1.-The regulation of CAPT
tai, If labor, also, is regulated"
Why not use correct economic
terms, judge?
Why say "capital," when you mean
capitalists?
Capital cannot be regulated, be-
cause it IS an inanimate thing. A
steel mill cannot be regulated, but
the capitalist-the owner Of the steel
mill-can be.
There Is no comparison between a
handful OF steel capitalists, for in
stance. and organized labor-what
Judge Gary has il mind.
One has a monopoly OF natural
resource and levies tribute on the
public. The other urges all wage
earners to join with it.
One confines its benefits to the
few; the other would extend its ben
Gifts to society as a whole.
Monopolists are given corporate life
by the state. Their corporations
could not function without the con-
sent Of the state. AS individuals they
could not enjoy limited liability for
debts if they were not incorporated.
After they seize a natural resource,
secure privileges from the state and
create monopoly in defiance of law,
they insist that they be accorded the
same treatment as a voluntary asso-
citation of citizens who ask nothing
from the state except what they are
entitled to as citizens.
When the steel monopolist-as a
monopolist-is regulated, his personal
liberty is not 1nterfered with. He may
take his usual vacations or close his
plants, if he Is so inclined.
But if the state denies workers the
right to strike, or compels them to
accept an award by compulsory ar
bitration court, the personal liberty of
these workers is involved.
TIL capitalist sells steel. which Is
no part of his life. It is separate
and distinct from his life.
The worker cannot separate from
himself his power to labor. This
power is another name for mind, will,
spirit, knowledge and muscle-all that
make a complete man.
The capitalist can sell his steel
while a. thousand miles from that
commodity. He may have never seen
it and may know nothing of the vari-
Gus processes Of its manufacture.
Capitalists and their retainers would
have us believe that labor is COM
modify like their steel-that the power
to labor can be separated from the
individual, and that this compressed
energy, wrapped in tin foil. can be
hawked in the market place as other
commodities.
Banquet talks, gabfests before stu
dents and other forms of publicity is
desisaed to create an artificial public
opinion in favor Of this theory, sup
ported by Judge Gary and his kind.
The settlement of the labor ques-
ton will be slow, indeed, while capt.
talists, injunction judges, editors,
statesmen and publicists indulge in
such glazing demagogery.

NO UNION CARD, NO
PAY, JUDGE RULES

Unless workers are members Of a
union, they are not entitled to enjoy
the benefits Of wage scales and
working conditions that are obtain
able only through. organization,
ruled Judge Frank E. Stevens, in the
city court of Cleveland, Ohio.
This extraordinary decision came
in a suit brought by a carpenter to
collect salary based on the union
scale for his craft. Judge Stevens
said that he had not assisted in get
ting the scale and could not claim
compensation under it.
"The rate Of pay was established
through efforts of the union,'' he
said. 'Unless you belong to it you
are not entitled to take part in the
benefits.''

Senator Kenyon Proposes to
Define Business Which

WASHINGTON, June so.-1n dis
cussing regulation Of monopoly in
the senate. Mr.. Kenyon. Of Iowa pre-
dicted that upon this question the
great political parties will split.
The law maker emphasized the diff
ference between regulating an indi-
vidual business man and regulating
a monopoly.
If five men had all the shoe busi-
ness of this country practically I'M
der their control, or enough Of it to
control it, and made the price what
ever. they pleased" he said, "then
you would be getting business that
was reaching the point Of monopoly
and that the government. has a right
to regulate.
Line of Demarkation.
II do not want to see this gov
eminent go into the regulating of
all business; but there is a distinct
line of demarkation. and it was laid
down by old Lord Hale nearly 100
years ago, and the supreme court
of the United States has sustained it.
"Shall we regulate all business? No:
that would be a failure. Regulate
some business? Yes. What business?
The business which the supreme court
has said is charged with a. public
use.
