GARMENT LOCKOUT IN NEW
YORK.,

The clothing industry of New York
City and neighboring territory is again
tied up with a lockout as part OF the
open shop movement forced by the
financiers of Wall Street.
One June 3, 1921 employers and en-
ployees in this industry agreed to
abide by findings of a joint commits
sion, and the employers have deliber-
ately broken their contracts. Contracts
appear to be sacred only when labor or.
the public lose by them.
When reproached for this violation
of our business code the leader of en-
ployers declared: 1--WE. are the doc
tors now and will give our employees
the kind of medicine that the union
gave the employers in 1919" His ref
erence was to the success which the
workers finally had in 1919 in eliminat

in report over a month ago exonerat-

vote by the senate approving the COM

Everyone admits that Newbery spent

declared that it was a race of the

Michigan courts found him guilty, but
the federal supreme court saved him

TAMMANY HALLS METHODS.
Two socialist aldermen have just
been seated in the council of New
York City, a few days before their
terms expire. The democratic ma.
chine known as Tammany Hall thus
accomplished what the republican ma.
chine did in more spectacular fashion
when it expelled socialists from the
state legislature.
Tammany's methods. were first to
count the ballots fraudulent1y and seat
it's own men. The socialists, nearly all |
poor working people of course, then
had to raise funds to contest the alleg.
ed election results. When the recount
showed the two socialists elected,
Tammany Hall used it's public attor:
neys and judges to delay reports of the
findings for year and a half.
The socialists are frequently accus'
ed of being poor Americans, but expert |
ences of this kind can hardly increase
their respect for the honesty and char
acter of their opponents.

FORD WOULD BUY NAVlEs.


News Service expresses the belief that
the Hughes plan for reducing navies
does not go far enough and makes an
offer to buy all the navies of the world
at their junk value if the nations will
sell.
He would then turn the iron and
steel so salvaged into tractors and
flivvnrs-a modern parallel to the
scriptural prophecy Of swords turned
into pillow shares.
TT Ford explains that the financing of
this plan would be easy for he is al
ready spending great sums to get his
iron from the ground. He also is the
first prominent person to point out
the distress in front of thousands of
workers if the navy limitation goes
through.
Ford would make provision for them
by employing them first to cut up the
ships, and next to turn it into the tools
Of peace.
We can hardly expect Ford's offer
to be considered by the diplomats for
the Powers all want some ships, but it
is likely that the steel trust will have
an annoying competitor in bidding for
the ships to be scrapped. Henry Ford
seems to be set on what Wall Street
would characterize as "disloyal"
course.

Washington, D. C.-PropOsals for
reducing naval strength suggested by
Secretary Of State Hughes at the open
ing Of the Conference on Limitation Of
Armament took the country by sur
prise.
The ready agreement with the prin-
ciple by representatives Of the leading
powers would indicate that there had
been some advance negotiation.
Japan made a reservation that the
naval strength allowed her by the
plan $50 per cent Of that of either
America or Great Brittany was not a
fair proportion and England's repre-
sentative countered with the PROPOSE
ton that a certain amount of naval
building be allowed to go on continu.
ously to keep the navy yards in condi-
ton instead of waiting for ships al
lowed to wear out.
If the results of the peace treaty at
Versailles is any test acceptanoA of
the Hughes plan in principle may not
amount to so much as the public may
may expect. =.
After the Hughes surprise, one of
the clearest things done at Washing
ton for many years, the newspapers
had enough to work on for many days
to come and the diplomats settled
down quietly to secret conferences on
how the Far East should be carved up.
What Hughes Proposed.
The principal points in the plan out
lined by Secretary Hughes were as fol-
lows:
A 10-year naval holiday with Great
Britain, America and Japan demolish.
ing Sc capital ships, built or in proc
ess, aggregadng 1,878,000 ship dis
placement tons.
Within months after the agree
ment is made the United States is to
have Is capital ships, EnglAnd % and
Japan 10.
Ships allowed can be replaced when
they are 20 years old but no replace
ment ship IL to exceed $4,000 tons.
No naval building is to be undertaken
by these powers on orders from other
countries.
Much less drastic regulations are
proposed for submarines, and none at
all for naval air craft or other air ma
chimes, and poison gas; yet these are
the weapons by which the next war
will be fought.
Under the Hughes plan America
would scrap 30 ships or 873,740 tons;
Great Britain 10 ships or 5S3,375 tons;
and Japan II, or 445,926 tons.
The explanation of the larger
to be scraped by America as
with Great Britain, undoubt-
eddy lies in the fact that until recent
ly our government was committed to
a policy of exceeding England's fleet
In 2 or 3 years. Consequently we had
many more ships under construction
and since the first Of the year have
spent about a half billion dollars on |
this huge navy program.

Common Errors in English and

THE USE OF "THE."

THIS little word, which is called
L by granSnarians the definite arti-
Gle, is often misused, being placed in
sentences where ii does not belong,
and being left out where it should
be used. Often such misuse causes
misunderstar ling Of the meaning Of
the writer or speaker. For example,
suppose you say, "The president and
secretary of the lodge attended the
meeting" This is correct if the Of
fees of president and secretary are
united i'm one person; that is, If there
is one man who is both president and
secretary. But If there are two men,
one of whom is the president and the
other is the secretary, the sentence
should read, 1.-The president and the
secretary of the lodge attended the
meeting" The article should be re-
peated; then there is no room for mis-
understanding the speaker or the
writer.

directors of the Michigan Dairy as

Figures were submitted tending to
show that S6,OOO,O00 pounds of COM
pound were made last year and that

No definite action in the matter was

BONUS MEASURE
PASSED BY HOUSE
CONFERENCE HELD TO BRING
LEGISLATORS TO TERMS ON
BOND ISSUE.
BONUS PAYMENTS START JULY I
State Income Tax Amendment VIII
Be Submitted to Electors In
November, 1922.

Lansing-One of the bitterest bat
ties which marked either the regular
or special sessions was ended with
the passage by the house late last
week Of the soldiers bonus enabling
act, with the serial bond amendment
left out.
Payments to veterans of the World
War are scheduled to begin July l.
The bonds which had been printed af-
ter the regular session adjourned,
have been advertised for sale by the
administration board, which has gen.
eral supervision of the bonus pay
ments.
The house had stood out for the is
suance of serial bonds to mature at
the close of three 10-year periods and
the senate insisted that the bonds be
issued as provided in the original bill
as straight 30-year securities. The
stand taken by the two houses re-
suited in the appointment OF a con-
ference committee of three senators
and three representatives to reach an
agreement.
income Tax Goes to Voters.
During the course of the confer
ence, the committee questioned bond
experts and state officials familiar
with the process of floating state
loans, in an effort to decide whether
claims that the bonds could not be
sold if issued serially were substanti-
ated by facts.
The Lennon income tax amendment
was passed by the senate with amend
ments which were concurred in by the
house and the amendment will be
submitted to the electors of the state
in November, 1922.
The amendment, as it will appear
on the ballot is:
Provision may be made by law
for tax of not to exceed per cent
upon or with respect to net gains,
profits and incomes, from whatever
source derived, which tax may be
graduated and progressive and which
may provide for reasonable exemp-
tions. For the purpose Of such tax,
property and persons and firms and
corporations may be classified"
Raise In Salaries Spurned.
BY a vote of Ga to 20, the house de-
/. clined an increase in salaries paid
members OF the Legislature. 1t failed
by three of the required two-thirds
majority. The measure, which had
already been passed by the senate,
was the second salary proposition be-
fore the 1921 legislature.
A constitutional amendment reso-
luton raising the salary of the mem
bers from $500 to $1,000 was passed at
the regular session but when the gov
ernor received it for his signature, it
was discovered that the measure call
ed for submission of the question at
an April election in year when no
such election is held.
