present time is admirably illustrated
by the following answers given by a
railroad president, responsible for
much of this propaganda, in the hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission:
Railroad president: IF we had had
control Of our own property, we would
not have raised wages during the
war as much as the government did"
The attorney: Were wages raised
more than those in other industries?
EYES,"
"Were they raised more than in the
Steel corporation :"
II do not know"
"Can you name large business in
which they were raised less?
z~" can not" aszs
1Carl you, from your own observa-
ton in the neighborhood where you
live, say that any class of labor-the
bricklayers, for example-were raised
less -s~.~s~-s--s-.a~ ----.---~s-y---s--.-4.
"Ican not say"
will YOU be good enough to ex-.
plain, If you know nothing whatever
about the subject, how you dare come
here and charge that the American
government raises were unreasou-
able?"
That is my impression
The former governor director e
railroads, Mr.. Hines, has pointed out
previously chat the railroad mon, who
sacrificed loyalty TO aid the war, were
badly treated In the matter Of wages.
The men, so far as getting credit for
sacrifice is concerned, might better
have been disloyal, and like big busin-
ness, gotten theirs while the war was
on.
A NEW SEDITION BILL
Senator Sterling of South Dakota,
who can always be counted on to car
ry water for the steel trust or any
other trust, has come forward with q
peace-time sedition bill.
The last session of congress de-
feated a similar gag bill and the
present bill is even worse than the
one debated. 1t is one of those vague
~ worded bills which leave to prose
cutting attorneys, judges and juries
the definition of what constitutes the
crime.
No reasonable person could deter
mine in advance whether what he
| wanted to say would violate the law
and no publisher could know whether
his paper would be seslitjous until the
courts and attorneys had passed on
his case.
But that is the purpose Of such
bills. Interests back of them want to
scare progressive persons and pro-
gressive papers away from talking
progress and criticizing big business
1t is clearly understood that the laws
of this kind are to be applied only
against certain classes = organized
farmers, organized workers and free
lance progressjves u radicals.
A number of our states, for in
stance, have sedlti,n and sabotage
laws which, if lmpartially enforced
would put two-tlirds of our prominent
business men in ,stil, Sabotage against
the public and against competitors is
one of the most common business
methods the coal operators ctnspnr-
acy, for instance, or the firm which
puts paper ia supposedly leather
shoes, or the firm which puts spies IN
another plant to wreck it.

BREAK ON ALLIED DEBTS

At the White House conference OF
Is western bankers, which followed
earlier conferences with the best n
nancial minds" President Harding
heard considerable opposition to the
plan OF refunding the allied debt to
our government. !,
Previously President Harding had
written Senator Penrose urging con-
gness to grant the treasury depart
ment additional powers. for the al
iustment and extension Of the time
Of payment Of the principal and IN
terest Of our European obligations. "

A decision has been reathed to the
up the shipping board with all its
scandals into net package and bury
II at sea. Charles Schwab, who shed
tears before the senate when the ac-
countant asked him to explain certain
I things, is sure that the public is sick
of the whole mess and wants to for
ret it. The administration agrees with
him. Five billion dollars sunk with
out trace.
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1921-07-08

Penrose has introduced such bill. !.
Improvement Of Europe is not
worth buying at the price Of American
impoverishment," said George NJ.
Reynolds, Chicago banker, who sever
al years ago boasted that he was one
Of the II men constituting the money
trust.
BY adjustment and extension"
eastern ffnanciers really mean sell
ing bonds of debtor nations to our
citizens and with the proceeds of
these paying off the debt Of these ma
tions to our government. And IN all
probability J. P. Morgan & Co. would
be relieved Of hundreds of millions of
poor European paper at the expense
of American purchasers Of the pro-
posed bonds. Western bankers are
not so we'll loaded up with foreign Sc
curities and SO they are not inclined
to dance to the Morgan tune.
Reynolds also said: There is sound
logic in the proposal to cancel Eu-
ropes debts to the United States gov
eminent. It may be automatically
unwise, but it would be economically
sound and certainly not altr,aistic.'

hundreds of thousands of pieces OF
mail went through the Office.
Postmaster C. V. Gould, as wen
as the employees are gratified at tie
manner in which the public needed
the admonitions of the postofhce
department to wrap carefully and
mail early. Not nearly as many
packages had to be rewrapPed TINS
wear as last. Mailing OF parcels
and cards earlier than usual avert
ed the 11-hour rush, despite the
fact that the number of cards maui
ed this year exceeded that IN any
previous year.
The regular staff was augmented
by nine additional clerks and car
riers and all OF them worked extra
hours. Postmaster Gould supplied
coffee and sandwiches both day and
night for the workers, thus saving
them many trips home in the cold
for their meals.

INVENTION OF
EDISON'S SON
CAME TOO LATE

Florence, Ala, Dec. 2G.-On the
occasion of the recent visit here of
Henry Ford, Thomas A. Edison,
who was showing his guest through
the great nitrate plant built on the
shores of Tennessee river to man
ufacture explosives, told of a new
weapon designed by his son, which
he said, under experiments by the
council of national defense, proved
great success.
I'VE had an island down in the
Key West group all to ourselves as
an experiment ground said Mr..
Edison. "The new weapon has a
steel shell in the form of a wheel,
standing about three feet high and
six inches wide Around the edge
was a steel rim, smooth and heavy.
This shell wheel could be filled
with T. \. T. or some other high
explosive, in which was time fuse
by which We could regulate the eX-
plosion of the charge
This wheel thus charged, could
be set on a shafting and attached
to a Ford tractor, very highly gear
ed. 1t could be set revolving at a
tremendous velocity. When the
speed developed to $4,000 surface
feet a second it was automatically
released from the shafting.
IN front was an inclined plane
down which the revolving wheel
sped with the speed Of a bullet. 1t
would sometimes go two miles, cut
ting like a knife, through every
thing in its uatb II went through
$50 feet OF wire entanglements close
set, as if they had been c0bwebs
1t would eat it's way through a wall
and shoot on until the time fuse
exploded it, when it leveled every
thing within $50 feet.
I'VE designed these to be sen!
into the German trenches to clear
them out before a charge, but We
never got a chance to use them be
fore the war stopped"
