Screwing Down the Safety Valve
By H. w. Garner.

valve down tight while the other is trying to per
suade him to leave just little chance for stean
to escape There comes the realization that either
is bad policy, for if the mechanic is successful In
having his way, the boiler will soon go up in
cloud of steam and the thing will be done for whils
it, on the other hand the helper is successful in al
fecting a compromise and leaves just slight
escape for steam, he has only prolonged the big
event, for just as soon as the boiler becomes weak
ened and defective from long usage, the thing wiz
go up with possibly greater roar and greater
loss. No matter which wins out, the mechanic or
the helper, the blow-up is going to occur just the
same.
While we stand back and watch the struggle Of
the workers for freedom, and watch the safety
valve being screwed down. in the way of antstrike
legislation and the restrictions of the workers
rights in one way or another, let us examine the
boiler (the capitalist system) we find it to be very
defective, it has long since become worn out, and
should have gone to the scrap heap long ago. The
realization dawns upon us, that the time is not
far distant when the capitalist system win give
way to the workers, just as the defective boiler
gives way to steam The screwing down Of the
safety valve will only hasten the day, and we turn
again to the inexperienced mechanic and the com
promising helper and we say do your best to serve
your master, but as the hands of inexperielced
men and compromisers cannat stay the motion Of
and compromising labor leaders stay the workerf
revolution

There is one particular part of high pressure
boiler which is known to everyone having any
knowledge of locomotive or high pressure boiler,
to be of a very great Importance.
This part is known as tthe safety valve" 1t is
small indeed, but if we are to measure it by its
Importance, then we find it to be of considerable
size for upon this safety valve depends the life of
the boiler So long as the safety valve is operating
properly all is comparativy safe, but If some in
experienced mechanic were to screw the valve down
tight thereby preventing it from operating, the re-
suit would be, the boiler would blow up with a loss
to the owner and in all probability loss of lives as
well.
Now the labor movement may well be compared
to the steam in the boiler and the boiler represents
the capitalist system. Anti-strike legislation and
other legislation restricting the rights of the work
ers may be compared to the safety valve. While
our politicians and blind statesmen may be CON-
pared to the inexperienced mechanic Our reaction
airy labor leaders seem to fit in very well as more
experienced helper, who has an idea that it isn't
wise to screw the safety valve down tight but isn't
much encned to challenge the higher qualification
of his master mechanic
Now of course the boss wants the safety valve
turned down pretty tight so to prevent any waste
in motive power. But he is as ignorant as his in
experienced mechanic and to the observer who
stands back, watching the controversy Of the me-
chanic and the helper, one trying to screw the

Birmingham, Eng.-(By A. P.)-
What is described as the worst out
break of foot and mouth disease foI
80 years has occurred among the cat
tie in the midland counties.
The appearance of the disease was
first noticed on December 26 at the
Central Meat Market here. A num-
ber of cattle from country markets
were found to be suffering and were
Immediately slaughtered but the con-
tagion had already spread. The
board of agriculture has since ordered
the destruction of 400 more animals
and the closing Of the market. The
midland counties are scheduled as
infected.
The first recorded case of the pres
ent epidemic occurred at Ripon on
January 9, 1919. Since then 27 separ-
ate outbreaks have occurred III as
many different places, not traceabiy
connected with each other.

"Organize separately in each state

Mr.. Sapiro. "Then federate all state

"One central association without

COMMISSIONERS FIX
COUNTY WORK WAGES
ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN
LAST YEAR-COUNTY PLY
SICIAN SALARY CUT.

The county commissioners have fixed
the wages to be paid for road work in
Latah county this year and the new
wages will be considerably lower than
those paid last year. Road overseers
are to be paid 81 per day, or SO cents
an hour. Men working on the roads
or doing other labor for the county
will be paid $500 per day, or 40 cents
an hour. A two-horse team will be
paid So and the county will pay 50 ad-
ditional for each team driven by one
man. Thus man and two horses will
be paid $500 and a man and four
horses $500 a day.
The board has not fixed the salaries
of county officers or deputies. This
will come up at the meeting to begin
on February IA. The board cut the
salary of the county physician, DR.. J..
w. Stevenson, from $500 to $500 per
year, and reappointed him for two
years, which means saving to the
county of 5000 for the two year term.
The commissioners made this state
ment regarding DR.. Stevenson:
'The board feels that DIR. Stevenson
has given the county efficient and
faithful service. His work has been
of high order at all times. The re-.
duction in salary was made along the
line adopted by the board to retrench
wherever possible as the tendency of
prices, wages and salaries is down
ward. The board commends DR..
Stevenson's work in the past two
years in the highest terms"
