For fear you overlooked it. here is
a statement made by General Perish
ing in his answer to Samuel Compress
Lafayette-Marns dinner speech In
which he was quoted as saying that
labor won the war:
"The policies Of this country are not
determined by labor unions or any
other organization but by the consen-
sus Of its patriotic citizens of what
ever affiliations 1t seems to be about
time for US to rise up and say that
America shall be ruled and governed
by American citizens and not by or
gnnizatioins which have their own sd
fish purposes to serve"
This is statement that comes
from a man who fears none and who
speaks straight from the shoulder.
1t represents the opinion of a vast
majority of the American people
many OF whom would have been
afraid to make the utterance publicly.
The generals answer to Gompers

keen. Passenger and freight traffic
departments are revived and every
line is exerting service to attract the
shipper and the traveller.
The unions are so bitterly opposed
to private ownership and so happily
reminiscent of the easy days of gov
eminent control that they are not see
ing past their noses in these days Of
reconstruction. And when they issue
an ultimatum to put the roads back
under the dome in Washington or call
a general strike they are not giving
much concern to the so called "serv-
ice to the public"
The public some day is going 60
wake up to this football game that
has been going on between capital
and labor-and there will be a new
team called out on the field ready for

WORK ONLY 8 HOURS ON ROADS
Kansas Probe on Conditions Inflicted
by Contractors.

Kansas Probe on Conditions Inflicted
by Contractors.
Investigation is to be made by the
industrial court regarding complaints
that men on public work in Kansas
are being compelled to stay on the job
more than eight hours day. The in
vestigaton concerns principally con-
tractors who are engaged in construc-
ton of hard surfaced roads.
There is a specific state law gov
erning labor on public works. 1t pro-
vides that except in emergencies men
cannot work more than eight hours
a day on a public contract Numerous
complaints that longer days are re-
quired have been received by Judge
John H. Crawford He said today
that the court would send men into a
number of counties to investigate
these reports.
The state law provides penalty of
$50 to $1,000 for contractors who vio-
late the eight hour enactment. 1t also
carries a six months jail sentence
provision
Where emergencies exist in the
building of hard surface roads, Craw-
ford pointed out, county engineers
must certify to the emergency. Dur
ing the war when labor was scarce
little attention was paid to the statua9
tory provision. With an over supply
of labor at this time, however, the
court will investigate the charges of
long DAYS on pubic Jobs.

wat he is.
And I sed about more things max
ing her laff harder each time, and
Pubs Simkins sed, G 1 hope it don't

remarks like Pubs? And she looked
at him as IL he was the gratest persin
on the steps and Pubs started to look
stuck up as enything, and just for

jewel of a wife, Joan?"

them.
At the home jeremiah greeted them
with twinkling eyes, his gaze on Joan's
third finger.
