Startle Somebody
SLOGAN of A. IT. Of i.

Atlantic City. N. j.. Sept. 13-The
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor today had under
consideration program of political
activity in the fall elections. Members
of the council predicted that labor
will designate at least SO candidates
for senatorial and congressional seats
now occupied by men who, they de-
clare, are opposed to the aims and
ideals of the American Federation of
Labor.
That the Federation will attempt
by an affiliation with the farmer vote,
to become an important factor in the
Presidential campaign of 1924, is a
foregone conclusion among the labor
chiefs here. They declare that their
selection of candidate for the Pres
idency will be "a startling surprise
to followers of the old parties"

Henry Ford's Latest Blowout
lThe National Repuhlicanl


After lolling around on pleasure
yacht in the st. Lawrence for month
during the height of a great emer-
gency in the industrial world, Henry
Ford rushes out to Detroit and within
few hours announces that he is go
ing to close his plants and throw more
than a hundred thousand men out of
work because he can't get coal ana
steel at a lower price than other peo-
pie are paying while the railway strike
is on. Evaluating Henry's pronounce
ment in the light of such utterances as
his statement that he had paid his war
prafits into the United States Treas
ury, people generally have concluded
that Henry wasn't SO very anxious to
get coal, and that what he is really
doing is taking up the slack in his
flivyer production. If an ordinary cap
italist had fired" all his employees for
such reasons and on such sudden no.
tiee. he would have been roasted by
every yellow journal in the country
As it is. this type of critic will doubt
less see in Henry's action the war on
Wall street he says it means. 1t isn't
often that man wins unquestioned
supremacy in two fields, but as bunk
artist Henry Ford is without rival
living, dead or unbarn.

THE FLEXIBLE" FEATURE

A feature of the tariff bill which
has passed the ordeal Of conference
and probably will be incorporated
into the law is that providing for
what is termed q flexible tariff"
The conference committee, however.
tackled on an amendment which is
believed TO assure, should 1t be adop-
ted. a somewhat infrequent resort to
use of flexible tariff"
Under this amendment action may
only be taken for the equalization of
and differences existing in costs of
production. Now the getting at of
the exact cost Of production either in
a foreign country or in this must be
an extremely difficult matter. Natur-
ally producers do not care to give
publicity as to the costs Of produc-
tiop, not necessarily because they
may wish to embarass the inquirer
but fear to embarass themselves.
They properly are unwilling that the
cost OF their product should come to
the knowledge of their competitors.
The President Is authorized under
the flexible tariff section to increase
or decrease duties not exceeding so
per cent OF the established rates, and
he is authorized to assess the new
duty upon the basis of the American
selling price, which is defined in the
conference report, for the purposes
OF presidential proclamation, as the
wholesale price in the principal mar
kets OF the United States of a simil-
ar competitive domestic article.

ANOTHER REASON

When the bunk orator thinks he
is talking TO hicks" he delights to
declaim about Wall Street and the
money lenders and the cruel grip Of
capital. We have been hearing from
labor's side that Wall Street con-
trolled tho coal supply.
Having heard all this it is espec-
tally interesting to learn that the
treasurer OF the United Mine Workers
OF America borrowed early in July of
the Hartman National Bank of New
York City the sum of 100000 and
was told that he could have what
ever he asked. the money to be used
for the aid OF the striking miners.
II would seem that this New York
bank might, under such circum-
stances, be at least an influential
friend" OF the United Mine Workers
OF America. and its advice receive
such consideration as Is accorded to
influential friends"
OF course, bank should loan to
the United Mine Workers Of America
SC long as 1t 10 a lawful organization
on the same terms il would loan to
any other organization or individual
In good financial standing. That is
one OF the legitimate functions of a
bank. functions the proper perform
ance OF which make such banks USE
ful instruments Of civilization. New
ertheless 1t is not quite clear what
could give to bank for any loan
II might desire. And havinO made
such a loan a bank would naturally
wish TO exert its influence favorably
&c the borrower to the extent, at least,
that 1t might be able to repay the
loan.
Maybe Wall Street is a factor in
this coal strike, after all. This DOS
slbility Is only an added reason to
many which have accumulated, why
the United States Government should
insist on getting at the facts, from
the bottom TO the top. from the coal

Figures of an election mean little

suffrage, for example, has come into
Maine since 1918. 1t is disarranging

er in that state of undeniahe accu-
racy, and that is the second con-
gressional district. If there is a
movement towards the Democratic

NEITHER JUSTICE NOR
FAIRNESS

1T looks as though the authorities
at Washington are going into action
at last. The injunction in Chicago
yesterday. together with the state
ment of Attorney General Daugherty,
while arousing the ire of Mr.. Com
pers, is meeting popular approval.
Mr.. Gompers intimates that the en-
tire American Federation of Labor
may be called out. If he does, his
Union and his job will be wrecked.
Surprising commercial, financial and
industrial bodies would speak along
the sane lines and say unless we
get 1000 more for our commodities,
we will not turn hand or Wheel"
or the Railroad Executives would say
"if you don't get a 1920 raise in
freight, we don't send an engine out
of the roundhouse." What would the
public say? What would this same
Federation of Labor say? One class
has as much right as another, but
they don't do it. Mr.. Gompers talks
about slavery, it looks like the Amer
lean public is the slave of Mr.. Com
pers and his associates. No one will
ever be able to compute the enormous
losses, worries and suffering caused
by the strikes of the past few
months. A picture in Sunday
paper couple of weeks back,
showing Mr.. Gompers being wheeled
lantic City didn't indicate that he
was suffering or worrying much.
His expressions Of eXultation, after
the miners won their victory showed
him up. Organized labor he said
wasn't reduced to exceed 500 since
the peak, still most other lines of
commerce had to take tremendous
reduction. Wheat, for instance, is
just 8 or &c higher than the ten year
average prior to 1913, corn is actually
1c bushel under that ten year per-
iod, oats are &c under it. The COM
modities which involve skilled labor,
are necessarily high, such as houses,
apartments, etc, but food stuffs are
for the most part cheap. Surprising
the farmer who produces the raw
food stuffs would talk like some Of
these labor leaders? These fellows
make more in an hour than the av-
erage farmer does in a day, with no
investment, while the grower has all
his money tied up"
The above is from the circular
letter Of a milling company sent to
local concern that, impressed by it's
good sense, sends it to the Journal.
1t appears to us we'll worth a careful
reading.
Now MIR. Gompers is an intelligent
man and with regard to his egotism
we would question whether he thinks
were conditions such as they have
in Russia established in this country
he could fill the role of Lenin. Yet
he ventures to threaten the country
with the possibility of a general
strike which would tend to produce
such conditions. He knows that any
such an attempt would be an appal-
ling disaster to the country and the
world.
Any person who invites the de-
struction Of the land in which he
lives and the degrading of the people
to the levels to which the people of
Russia have fallen is not a good
countryman. he hasn't even the rudi-
ments of patriotism and is altogether
