HAPGoOD'S DISCOVERY.

Norman Hapgood, nationally known
journalist. who quite often writes for
newspaper syndicate things worth
reading, last week made great discov.
cry. At least we are justified in be-
hevlng that the discovery by Mr.. Hap
good was very recent. The thing that
Mr.. Hapgood learned is that wealthy
and Influential man may give voice
with impunity to sentiments which if
expressed by workingman would land
the worker in Jail without delay.
Hapgood quotes from the manufac-
turers' News Of Chicago as follows:
1.-The people Of the United States
are tired Of labor unionism and trim
ming by persons in authority. We are
almost to the open shop, and when it
comes it is going to come with a biz
rush, but it may not come until after
bloodshed, suffering and starvation
have been brought upon our unfortun-
ate people,"
Then the newspaper writer inquiries
''What would happen if labor leader
(meaning labor :. Officially used such
language" The: answer to the query
is so obvious that Mr.. Hapgood does
not take the trouble. to give a direct
answer: '.'rc, 49, T.;
The discrimination between the
wealthy and the workers by public Of
ficials has been repeated. by labor pa.
pers and labor speakers 50 often and
|! for such length Of. time that it is,
surprising that Hapgood's newspaper.

BL.ANTON BEFORE. THE WAR.

"Au1 OAd1A01IAS anu U1eAClHR LON
Blanton, the "Gentleman from Texas,"'
is in a "peck Of trouble" at Washing
ton. Charges have been made against
him in resolution introduced by Rep.
Mondell, the Republican leader, in
which it is held that Blanton abused
his "leave to print" privilege.
1t seems tn : the irate Texan got in
bad when he injected into the Con-
gressional Record letter and affidavit
containing obscene and profane matter.
Blanton made a speech against the gov
eminent printing office, charging it
was run by union labor. He produced
a number of letters and affidavi's to
show how uncomfortable union print
ers make it for non-union printers in
the government Erintery.
Among the letters was the duplicate
of one sent by non-union employee to
the public printer reciting the alleged
language used by union printer to a
non-union man. Every sentence of that
letter contained profane and obscene
word. It was printed in the Record
and sent broadcast through the mails.
The speech: was made on Saturday.
The printed copy Of the Record did
not reach the members of Congress until
Monday, and when it was read no time
was lost in striking it from the house
records, after which Rep. Mondell pre-
sented his resolution to expel B]arton.
The letter containing the obscene
matter did not add to the strength cf
the Indictment Blanton made against
the government printery. His remarks
would have been just as effective with
out it, but so bitter is he in his oppc.
sition to union labor that the "Gentle-
man from Texas" LIST his head.
The situation in which Mr.. Blanton
finds himself is indeed embarrassing.
No doubt there are many Consressmen
who will sympathize with him in his
fight against union labor, but tn y will
never be able to overlook, without ctul-
tifying themselves, the abuse of the
"leave to print" privilege engaged in
by Blanton.
Blanton brought out that one of the
non-union printers was put to work in
the government or;ntery at the request
of the Republican National committee.
He produced letter signed by Will
Hays as chairman, and Clarence 4.
Miller as secretary, in which it was
requested that the public printer fiad
berth for their non-union pet. Of
course such a breach Of political Ell
quette only added to the fury cf the
situation, and Blanton will be given q
good scare before the house gets
through with him.
If the anti-unionists of the country
get busy, and we think they WILL prob
ably all that will be done with Blan.
ton will be to give him a mild vote Of
censure. It will be interesting to
watch the proceedings and outcome of
the case: against the :obstre2erous
Texan.

NELSON SEES: SOME LIGHT

ARMISTICE MEMORIAL DRIVE

Mayor Snively has happy way of
cnastlz1ng an erring person without
giving offense. There was world of
meat IN his interview Thursday morn
ing in which he called the Kiwanis
club to account for laying down on the
Armlstlce Memorial a project pro.
posed by the club.
Possibly the Kiwanians had in mind
the erecting Of stone monument of
some sort. The commission appointed
by the mayor at the request of the club
recommended the extension of the
boulevard to Jay Cooke park as me-
mortal to the boys who fought III the
late world war. ::..t..'~

CRAIG STILL COY
AND IRISH FARLEY
STILL UP IN AIR

London, Nov. 29-By A. PAN
anxious day in the negotiations de-
signed for the pacification of Ireland
ended tonight with the hope that a
complete collapse of the parleys
might still be averted.
Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster,
as was expected, declared before the
northern parliament in Belfast that
Ulster had absolutely refused to &C
cept an all-Ircland parliament, de-
mandcd by the Sim Fein delegation.
But he announced. listers willing
ness to discuss other proposals for
an Irish settlement if they were sub
mitted by next Tuesday.
David Lloyd George, the prime
minister, Immediately summoned the
Sim Fein delegates to consult with
him and his ministers and submitted
to them new proposals which if they
meet with the approval of the Sim
FCin will be presented to the Ulster
officials before next Tuesday. The
nature OF the alternative proposals
will not be diyulged pending their
consideration by the Sim Feiners.
The situation still is in very
critical stage owing to the double
deadlock-Ulster refusing to enter an
all-Ireland parliament and the Sim
Fein steadily refusing to yield on the
question of allegiance to the crown.
The negotiations, however. have not
been broken off and may be con-
tinued on a new basis.

ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS NOT
INTENDED AS RIVAL OF LEAGUE

Washington, Nov. 29-(By A. PD-
Adoption of a definite agreement for
! future meetings to discuss world
| problems is hoped for by President
Harding before the arms conference
ends.
| 1t was revealed today that al
though the President does not pro-
pose to introduce formally the sub
jcct into the negotiations here until
the naval and Far Eastern discus
sons have reached decision, he
| does expect that before the delegates
| separate they will agree on a plan
by which similar discussions will
take place in the future.
At the same time, it was made
known that in drafting the frame
work of his plan the President was
, endeavoring to avoid the impression
that any resulting Association Of
nations" might become a rival of the
League of Nations organized at Yer
sailles. In highest administration
quarters, it was declared Mr.. Hard
ing had no desire to interfere with
the league and hoped only to find
a way by which the nations could be
brought together for consultation in
the common interests.
To what detail the Presidents
proposal has been reduced was not
| revealed, nor was il made known by
what method the subject would be
| brought formally before the arms
| conference. On the other hand, there
were indications that even the in
| formal discussions now proceeding
with regard to the project would be
subordinated as much as possible at
the present stage of the conference
and that further information re-
garding it would be withheld until
the time is considered ripe for its
formal submission.
Until that time too. administration
officials expect to refrain from COM
ment on the widespread speculation
that the Presidents suggestion has
aroused. 1t is said to be the feeling
of those officials that to keep the
question in prominence now might
interfere with the plans to keep the
attention of the conference centered
wholly on the naval and Far Eastern
problems until they are solved.

JAPAN'S STAND FOR GREATER
naval RATIO WILL Be Vain ONE
DETERMINATION j. S. DELEGATES

Washington, Nov. 2s-(By A. P)-
The purpose of the American delega-
ton to the arms conference to accept
no modification of Secretary Hughes
proposed five five three ratio" of
naval strength as the fundamental
basis of any limitation agreement
was authoritatively reiterated today.
The statement was backed by disclos-
ure of the facts as to existing naval
strength.
This showed Japan to have less
than the so per cent. status to which
the five five three" plan would enti-
tie her, no matter what method of
calculation was applied. 1t showed
also that the American delegates had
been over the whole field before Of
fering the plan and that their figures
were correct.
Meanwhile, Prince Tokugawa of the
Japanese advisory staff, contending
for 20 per cent. status for Japan,
was based on personal opinion"
alone. 1t was not, the Prince said,
sponsored by the delegation of which
Vice Admiral kato is not member.
Prince TOkuwaga would not reveal
however the actual view of the Jap
anose delegates as to what percent
age Japan would insist upon in feet
strength. He said the four delegates
were determining this for themselves,
Independently of any additional in
structions from Toxic He would not
say whether a decision actually had
been reached as yet.
While these developments indicated
still more strongly that decision OF
this fundamental question was draw
ing near. tn earns conference itself

and Japan scheduled for today was
postponed for "a hours at the request
Of Japan. The Americans We're not
informed as to the reason for this

quarters it was said further time to

Americans was needed.

the three powers chiefly concerned
are scheduled to meet tomorrow in
further sub committee discussions.
Their work cannot deal with any

Another Chinese question that Of
