Mark Sullivan political writer, has discovered that "The
naming of Americas representatives in the coming inter
national disarmament conference at Washington is wholly
President Hardngs prerogatve and that the senate does
not have the privilege of advice and consent"
So the naming of Americas representatives at the
Paris peace conference the exclusive prerogave of the
presdenyet because the president did not consult the
senate the appointments the senate killed the peace
treaty while denouncing the executive usurper and
the republican press of the country echoed the
charges.

ATTACKS ON TRADE
uNlONi0M Is TO BE
CONSIDERED HY LABOR

Washington, Jan. 27.--Under in
Istruction of the executive council.
president Gompers has issued a call
for conference of representatives of
the 109 national and international af-
lfiliates of the A. F. of L.. to be held
lin this city, Wednesday. February %,
Ito consider publicity and other meth
lods to meet the opposition of anti
|unionists.
The call is the result of action taken
by the executive council at its last
meeting, when President Gompers was
authorized to confer on this subject
with trade unionists and others in
sympathy with the trade union move
ment On December 20 President
Gompers discussed the question with
score of men, and one of the recon-
mendations included a conference that
President Gompers, with the approval
OF the executive council. now calls.
The purpose of the conference, says
President Gompers, will be ito con-
slider generally the movement to I'M
dermine and destroy the efforts of
the workers through the campaign for
the establishment of the non,union
shop, the movement unwarrantably to
reduce wages and to close entirely
many large industrial establishments,
and as special order of business to
consider methods OF publicity de-
signed to meet the needs of the time.
as well as the means whereby such
plans as may be thought wisest may
be put into operation.
The situation is crucial. An un-
reasoned and unreasonable attack is
being made upon the trade union
movement. The welfare of the men
and women of labor and the welfare
of our republic are at stake The bat
tie must be fought by the organized
workers and the best brains in our
movement must devise the methods
and policies to be followed"
Since the formation of the A. F. OF
L., in 1881, there have been four other
conferences of this character called
because of unusual national. economic
or political conditions confronting the
workers.

exception to the general rule. The

MANS FIRST INSTINCT IGNORED
BY HIGH COURT


The instinct of seifpreservati0n was
ignored by the United States supreme
court In the Duplex Machinists' case.
The court held that q boycott by
New York machinists against this
Michigan concern Ia q violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law. which penal.
ICES interference with interstate com
merce.
Behind this boycott Is a strike
that involved hui = hare dozen ma
chinists employed by Duplex. And be.
hind the strike and boycott loom o
notice by other printing press manu-
facturers that the Duplex must be pat
on the same eight-hour basis a. they.
must pay the same wage and agree
to the same working conditions.
The Duplex refused this demand OF
their machinists. who struok. Other
machinists refused to handle the Du-
pick press. and asked fellow trade
unionists to aid them. These machin.
lists were as involved In the Duplex
strike as the Duplex machinists. for
if the latter failed the others were
warned by their employers that the
Duplex must be placed on the same
competitive basis. This waa notice
that II Duplex were permitted to oper.
ate under the 10-hour. iow,wage sys-
tenn, they would do likewise.
II was under these conditions that
the Duplex complained 10 the United
States supreme court that New York
machinists were interfering with In
terstate commerce.
And the court made the astounding
decision that the New York machin.
lists were not directly involved In the
strike and that their Conspiracy
should be enjoined.
The court ignored the old maxims:
HE who seeks equity must first do
equity" and HE who seeks equity
must come into court with clean
hands"
Duplex did not come into court
with clean hands" II was attempting
TO debase conditions OF It's employees
and force its competitors TO adopt the
same policy.
And the court gives notice to other
machinists that " they. do not aid In
breaking the Duplex strike and Hasten
upon themselves the l0-hour day, they
are in contempt OF court.
The courts decision Is commercial.
ism rampant and has brought howls
OF glee from every reactionary In the
land.
This decision Is In line with the
courts refusal. last March. to dis
solve the steel trust. In this case the
minority opinion declared that ths
trust was formed "in plain violation
and bold defiance" of the Sherman
antitrust law.
But the majority Of the court re
fused to dissolve this trust because III
may be serious detriment to this
foreign trade"
