What law IL 4, that apparently protects

In a liberal form OF government such
az ours why have labor unions and labor
union chiefs TO plead the cause OF work

Government itself. through Is Depart
mont of Labor. be In position 70 In
vestlgate and satisfactorily TO settle
strictly on their merits. any and AL
such disputes that may arise and that
would be Of sufficient Importance to come
before that department.
From all that I have seen and heard
of them the so-called labor unions are
nothing but breeders OF trouble. discon-
tent and chaos, the prime tools or boil
sheyism and anarchy. Furthermore. we
cannot hope materially TO Improve the
unemployment situation. which we al
realize Is due to the high cost OF work.
if we permit the existence Of the medium
which fixes these high costs and Insists
on their continuance under pain OF
nationwide industrial strike. We cannot
hope for a return of normal conditions
while the dlsseminators Of the germ OF
discomfort and strife have free scope.
It would seem that the labor union
rulings in the matter Of fixing wages anu
hours Of labor are arbitrary and un-
principled IN that they are made without
regard to equity or fairness. The well
fare Of the community has no part In
their scheme. They are governed solely
by the thought Of providing sufficient
funds in union membership fees to enable
Samuel Gompers and his many lieuten-
ants to travel about the country. at the
expense of the workingman, mouthing
their unwholesome. insidious propaganda
which II not soon checked may result In
serious consequences to the entire coun-
try. and more particularly to the very
workingman whose interests they CLAIM,
to be defending.
The statement Of the Chicago labor
chief printed in your paper last Sun
day was plain and unequivocal. 1t said
in effect that nothing could prevent the
walkout staged for October 80, as the life
or death Of the unions depended on 1t.
Let the answer Of the American people
be equally firm and unequivocaf and to
this effect: That as the labor unions
have demonstrated conclusively their un-
fitness to exist in these United States Of
America they must be abolished.

Probe Deeper for the Truth.

tion. II has skinned the surface

tion and prosecution aud In spite of

pie OF New York-or nj least as many
OF them as wish 20 he inteliigentiy

badly run in the last four years.

Department OF Docks has been used

from the city leases which they were
able to sublet at huge profit.
II showed that. thanks TO the pri-

A Blow at the Public Welfare.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The great
question for the American people to de-
eide now Is. Shall Mr.. Gompers and his
Federation of Labor rule? w. G. Lee
says that we arc going to have the big
gest railroad strike this country has
ever known. Gompers says wages must
not come down.
Both of these men ought to know by
this time that the war has been over
three years and war wages and war
prices must end. Railroad workers like
other workers must get to work on a
reasonable wage scale. II not our rail-
roads will all face bankruptcy. We
must have lower freight and passenger
rates. Our railroads are the bone. sinew
and arteries of this country; they have
done much to develop this great nation
and they must be protected.
With lower freight rates and reason
able wage rates the wheels Of industry
win start running again at full speed.
Mines will produce cheaper coal for our
railroads and Industries, and instead Of
millions Of nemployed-Gompers and
his associates are trying to increase the
number of unemployed, commencing with
tho railroads---there will be work for
everybody.
Gompers and Lee should know that It
Is not the capitalist who owns the rail-
roads; many millions have been in
vested in these properties as a source
Of income by those too old to work |:
the real owners of the railroads are
average men and women, including
widows and orphans.
Shall such men as Gompers. Leo.
Carter. Plumb. Jewell, Stone and Shep-
pard be allowed to upset our railroads
and all industrial. commercial and flnan-
cial interests? These strikes have now
become public nuisapccs and must end
The patience Of the American people is
about ended by the epidemics Of strikes.
The Federal authorities should arrest
the leaders who have called this rail-
road strike for October 80 for interfer-
ing with interstate commerce and in
terfering with our mails and in general
upsetting our industries and the well
fare OF our country. WIN. OSBORN.

The Diet Pests.

The fat reducing contest which is
being run by the Health Commits
sioner and some gymnasium owners
may affect many more persons than
the hundred fat men and women
who are dieting. For a large mum
Der of the hundred are sure to &c
forth to be pests.
Since WILLIAM BANTINa told the
world, nearly sixty years ago, Of q
method Of reducing corpulence by
diet there have been diet fiends by
the thousand, bent on changing the
figures of their neighbors. First re
citing their own marvellous expert
cnces, they go on to spout advice
which should come only from ply
sician who has made careful study
OF the obese individual.
In recent years the diet fends
have picked up professional lingo
They talk of protein and carbohy
crates as q golfer talks of foozles
and approaches. They measure their
fcod-and, of course, their neigh
bor's-in hundreds of calories. They
would count calories at Christmas
dinner.
The diet fiend weighs himself
every day and advises all within his
bearing to do the same. He has de
lusions about how thin he is becom
ing and how terribly fat his friends
are. HIS face may be lined by priva
ton and his jowls sagged by sudder
reduction. but he insists that he Il

Just four men for period Of sixty-five

Just four men for a period OF eixty-five
years.
The four Republican potentates from
the beginning were Simon Cameron. his
son j. Donald Cameron. Matthew Stan
ley Quay and Boies Penrose. Simon
Cameron was a United States Senator
long before the Republican party was
founded and he served. at different
times, four terms, but not all Of them
complete. He was the Republican boss
before the civil war and was able to
secure from Lincoln a place in his
Cabinet and later foreign mission.
When Cameron felt like retiring he
simply had his son j. Donald sent to
the United States Senate. where he re-
mained for twenty years. Penrose went
in when Don Cameron went out In 1897,
but he did not obtain the regal Repub-
lican State crown from Cameron. Quay
was also a Senator and he took the lead
ership from the younger Cameron.
These four men have formed the dy-
nasty. each In his time holding the scep-
trc without a contender for power who
could ever cause more than a breeze In
q political fight. Each one Of the four
held sway for a period Of from fifteen
to twenty years Penrose has been IN
the Senate for the longest period, in fact
his record exceeds that Of any other
Penneylvanian.
Since Governor Sproul has always
been In close harmony with Penrose II
Is presumed that he has deferred to the
latter's wish in naming a Senator.
especially as the choice also involves
the heir to the Republican State throne
SO long occupied by Penrose.
Had Knox lived and Penrose died
Knox would not have worn the royal
purple. He wouldn't II he could and he
couldn't IL he would. He had no liking
Whatsoever for the game of politics as
played in Pennsylvania, or IN fact any,
where else.
During q political fsht In which some
Of his former henchmen were opposing
him Quay said:
II taught them all tho politics they
lsrow. but not all the politics know"
And the result proved It In the beat
ing he gave them Nobody In Penn
syIvania believes that Penrosc has
taught anybody in the State as much
politics as no himself knows.
That makes the question Of the Rcpub-
ilcsn dynasty n bit ticklish. II. L. c.
