WASTE LAND Use
Urged BY A. f. of l.. Before
House Committee

Washington. - America must be
healthy while Europe adjusts itself,
said Edgar Wallace, A. r. of l.. legis-
lative representative, before the
house committee on irrigation Of arid
lands that is considering appropria-
tions for irrigation, reclamation of
swamp lands and reclamation of cut
over lands,
"In the olden days" said the trade
unionist, ''when the west lay open,
there was natural method of adjust
ing wages and conditions. Whenever
we were dissatisfied we could go west
and take up farm. We could go out
into the country and the Industrial
condition naturally adjusted itself, but
this land that could be used immedi-
ately is now all taken. But here we
have project that will in effect not
only Immediately develop large
amount of land but will continuously
develop more and more land, making
a natural outlet, natural safety
valve, for the dwellers of the cities
and the industrial oenters, and it can,
if carried into effect, result in vast
benefits to the country and in devel-
oping the finest specimen of American
manhood,
'We can best serve this country by
a program of development within our
country, and the congress, the ad-
ministration, should recognize that
some such effort must be made to
meet the situation iere and now"
Mr.. Wallace declared that the pro-
posal is the most productive in the
way of stimulating industry. To this
statement Congressman Summers re-
piled: "To this we are all agreed"

"M0UNDBUILDERS
Highly Organized Federated
Colonies of Workers"
Organizers of Big Business,
Sanitary Engineers, Ven
tilation Experts, Miners
By S. B. HEDGES

The moundbuilders are the best eX-
ample of federated communities of
workers banded together for self-p
lection, of the ants near us. AS they
lack the necessary tools to carry on
forced ventilation, they seem to have
solved the problem by natural means
at their command And what might
be called air drainage with the assist
ance of nature.
AS cave dwellers cleanliness and
sanitation becomes an important
problem for them, molds and other
underground germs must be kept sub
dued, the food supply kept in fit CON
dition, the ant larva fed and cleansed,
and the various activities made neces-
sary in communities composed of myr-
lad individuals. The work moves
along in a surprisingly smooth man
ner, total lack of quarreling and
fighting amongst the individual work
ers of a nest, or with individuals of
federated nests, the affiliation seems
complete in every way, and forms a
sure protection from predatory bands
of slavers.
A call to arms is answered at once
individuals throwing themselves into
line of battle from wherever they hap
pen to be, and few of the slaver's
army live to tell the tale. AS soor
as the battle is over, the survivors
return to their regular duties, leaving
wounded or dead combatants wherever
they happen to be. So far as the ant
is concerned, they are out of the game
and nature is calling for other work;
they respond quickly, willingly kill
ing all stragglers not having it's nest
odor, the test of affliation.
The moundbuilders have their herds
of aphis honey bearers that are care
fully attended to and guarded from
expeditions of predatory ants of some
alien species on their home range, il
some nearby oak, or tree liked by the
aphis herds. And they are MIXED fol

these would-be funny men up with a
round turn. He predicted that the de-

Indianapolis. - Federal District
Judge Anderson has exceeded his per,
formance of 1919 when he enjoined
miners officials from conducting a
strike that was authorized by con-
vention Of miners.
Tins judge now issues an imperial
edict enjoining "al! persons who now
or hereafter may be members" of the
United Mine Workers from seeking
"by any and all means" to nnionize
the Mingo county tW. Va coal field,
where gunmen rule and serfdom is in
flower
The suit, which serves as 4 screen
for powerful interests, was instituted
by an obscure coal company,
Judge Anderson also issued sweep
ing edct against the 'check of" a
system agreed to by the union and
coal owners, whereby union dues from
the workers pay envelope are with
held by the employer, who turns same
over to the union representative,
The court has unique system
whereby he can break the Mingo
county strike. This is his theory:
The miners are financing this move
ment and the union coal owners are
making the collection of dues possi-
BILE. If the 'check off" is outlawed,
presto! the miners will not pay dyes
voluntarily and the strike will col
lapse for lack of financial assistance!
This is the estimate an injunction
Judge placed on men who have waged
some of the most heroic battles for in
dustrial justice in this country, and
who, together with their wives and
children, are now facing winter,
housed in tents, in the mountains of
West Virginia, that they may have
the right of collective action, free
speech, and free assemblage.
Judge Anderson laid great stress on
the first section of the Sherman anti
trust law:
Every contract, combination in the
form Of trust or otherwise, or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade or COM
| merce among the several states, or
! with foreign nations, is hereby declar-
ed illegal"
The court ignores the controversy
that has ragged for years-whether
that section applies to labor unions.
He also ignores the fact that in 1914
congress ended the controversy, as
/ far as fair-minded men are concerned,
by passing the Clayton amendments
to the antitrust law. Section 6 of
these amendments provides
"Nor shall such organizations (of
workers and farmers), or the mem
hers thereof, be held or construed to
be illegal combinations or conspira-
cies in restraint of trade under the
antitrust laws,

WANTED THE STRIKE
NOW THAT IT is POSTPONED THE RAILROAD
MANAGERS ARE NOT SO SURE THAT THEY
HAVE DEFEATED THE WORKERS
We're Certain of Winning Conflict and With Spirit OF
Tolers Broken Figured Readjustment OF
Wages To Be Easy

Washington.-With the withdrawal
of the strike order by the railroad
brotherhood executives, railroad fnan-
ciers and managers are not sure that
they have won.
The strike order was annulled when
the railroad labor board announced
that it would consider the wage re-
duction demands after working con-
ditions were considered This means
a postponement, although the rail
roads will press their demand for
lower wages.
Financial writers, expressing the
views of bankers and railroad owners,
clearly indicate that the owners want
ed strike One writer in a local
newspaper expresses this opinion:
Sentiment generally favors the
view that the progress of the railroads
toward readjustment has been serious
ly halted through the stopping of the
strike; that such a venture would
have been turned into defeat in short
order, and that thereby the needed
readjustment in wages might speedily
be accomplished, whereas under the
agreement with the labor board, wage
cuts may be suggested, but it is not
likely that any actual reductions will
be made for months to come"
Much publicity is now devoted to
the need for supplying the roalroad
labor board with teeth" to enforce
it's decisions, but this claim was not
heard when the railroads were vio-
lating decisions by the labor board.
Neither have the railroads been
censured for ignoring the railroad Ia
Dor board when they issued their wage
ccLt order, which resulted in the strike
order
The federated shop crafts were not
associated with the brotherhoods in
this strike movement. The reason is
shown in statement issued by the A.
F. of l.. railway employees department
on October %, which says:
"We were definitely advised Octo-
Der IA, 1921, by the officers of the
four transportation organizations that
they would not, under any circum-
stances, cooperate with the federat-
ed shop crafts organizations in the
threatened strike beginning October

STAGGERING PROFITS
OF Corporations Revealed
in Senate

Washington.-Th staggering pro-
fits made by corporations during the
past few years was revealed by sem
ators in a discussion of the revenue
bill.
1t was shown that of 115,056 cor
porations making reports in 1919 un-
der the income tax law, 1869 made a
profit of less than per cent; 21,869
ranged between and 10 per cent;
1884 between 10 and l5 per cent;
1888 between Is and 20 per cent;
7,743 between 25 and 30 per cent;
$3.50 between 80 and 40 per cent;
4,807 between 40 and so per cent;
4,911 between SO and rs per cent;
1,734 between rs and 100 per cent;
and 2,194 reported profit Of 100
per cent and over.
These figures show that there were
9,639 corporations in 1919 that made
profit of not less than so per cent
and in 2,194 instances profits were
100 per cent and over.
These profits were announced after
the ingenuity of skilled accountants
was taxed to conceal profits, after
interest on bonds were paid, and all
other charges met, including deprecia-
tion and princely salaries to the man.
agement of these concerns.
If the profits of these 9,639 corpora
tions were no higher than so per cent,
it means that they would double their
invested capital In two years and
would still have their complete plant.
Discussion in the senate showed
that between January /, 1915, and
July II, 1921, all corporations made
clear profit of over $4,000, 100000
after all taxes and charges were paid.
