DINNER PAIL EPICS
By Bill Lloyd
(By Federated Press)

Red raids is come to be the rule
in our policemen's Russian school.
We have the notebook leaves today
which czars and kaisers threw away.
For anyone the powers dislike might
just as well go take hike, or else he
won't go very far before he lands
behind the bar.
Let anyone displease the powers
and the police will choose the hours
when they will make a quick descent
and show for fair their Prussian bent.
A "red" is anybody who the interests
would railroad through, and if the
guy amt naturalized the officers have
him sure sized as bomb-thrower and
guy who's really only fit to die.
So if a liberal statements made
the officers pull off raid. The office
furniture is smashed, the office boy
is cut and gashed, the office records
are destroyed, while the police are
overjoyed. The Black Maria is
backed up, the janitor is sore hacked
up, the typist is slapped on the wrist,
the boss he gets a plain-clothes fist.
The poor bookkeeper is thrown out,
the van is loaded with shout. In
short, when everything is said, they've
gathered in a bunch of "red."
A charge against them is no matter.
They must not be allowed to scatter
what any of 'em thinks or knows, for
fear the constitution goes. And so
with something of a clatter, the con-
stitution goes to shatter. The inter-
ests sigh with great relief, the reds
are booked before the chief, the bunch
is all thrown into Jail, and the sky
limit is the bail.
That's how they stage the thing
these days, while every workino man
he pays. His freedom shrinks beyond
all hope, like woolens wash, with
too much soap.

CONSTITUTION AND LAW SET
ASIDE BY INJUNCTION

The federal administration has
publicly avowed it's affinity to the
cause of reaction by its successful ap-
peal for an injunction against striking
shop men. The move was led by At
torney General Daugherty who per-
sonally appeared before Federal Dis
trict Judge Wilkerson in Chicago. The
proceedings wer estaged with the ut
most secrecy and were undoubtedly
intended to terrify the shop men and
stampede them back to their jobs.
The average labor injunction makes
a pretense of permitting strikers to
have some rights. This writ contains
no such excuses. 1t is a clear cut,
bold notification that the executive
branch of the government is behind
the railroad executives in their at
tempt to smash the shop mems strike.
Picketing is barred, as is communi-
cation in any form, either written or
oral, or by telephone or telegraph, be-
tween officers, members of the union
and their agents.
The injunction, in short, prohibits
strikers and their officials from doing
anything that would make the strike
effective. The injunction rests on the
theory that the strikers have no
rights, that they are interfering"
with the railroads, and the only way
to end this interference" is by stop
ping every act that would tend to
make collective action successful.
Because of its secrecy, officials of
the shop crafts were surprised when
notified of this record making writ.
The unionists refused to be awed,
however, and the bitter feeling devel-
oped has had an effect contrary to
that expected by the administration.

Daugherty's Claim
Is Downright Lie
New York World, Sept. 81

In his plea for the injunction
against the railway strikers in Chi
cago, Attorney General Daugherty
enumerated several instances of dis
ruption of train service and pointed
to them as explaining the necessity
of the injunction. Among them was
this:
"In Somerset, KY, $4,000 cars of
bituminous coal were congested in the
railroad yards. Vandals had tanpered
with more than 500 cars there"
The World telegraphed to Somerset,
a little town on the Cincinnati, New
Orleans & Texas Pacific railroad to
verify this statement. This was the
reply received:
"No coal cars are tied up in Somer-
set; no cars have been tampered with. !"

Compensation Law
Amended in Georgia

Atlanta, Ga.-The state Legislature
has strengthened the workmen's COM
pensation law. The death benefit has
been increased from $3,000'to $780,;
maximum benefit from S12 to SIS
weekly and the waiting period
shortened from IA days to seven days.
The full disability benefit has been
Increased from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Legislature refused to pass an
anti-picketing bill, and took the same
position toward the repeal of the bar
bers' license law.

WAS A LANDSLIDE

Bob LaFollette, who was introduced
to the A. II. of L. convention by Pres
ident Gompers as "the tribune of the
people," was renominated for United
States Senator at the primaries last
week by nearly 100000 majority over
his opponent. This is another rap at
the present administration and plain
ly indicates the temper of the people
at this time.

laws violated how long will we be
free from anarchy?
Now is the time to stop it by i'm
peaching Daugherty and making him
apologize publicly. During the war
it was common occurrence to make
some radical kiss the American Flag,
and it would be just as patriotic to
make Daugherty kiss the Constitution
and swear that henceforth he will re-
spect and obey it.

as It involves the spending OF money
from which there will be no return

MOTORLESs AIRPLANES.

For some time German scientists
have been engaged in working out a
motorless airplane- Being deprived
by tho terms OF the Versailles Treaty
Of permission to manufacture the OF
binary airships, propelled by motors,
there has been a strong incentive
To produce motorless craft.
Success Is now announced for this
adventure into the field of aerial
navigation. News from Berlin, Sat-
urday. reported the successful flight
Of motorless plane for three hours,
soaring about thousand feet in the
air and in spite of a strong wind.
This Is a very reasonable measure
Of success. When the telephone was
inaugurated, it enabled conversation
to be conducted over only few miles
OF wire. but now people can talk over
hundreds of miles. And the radio has
been attended by amazing results.
! A flight for three hours by motor
| less airplane is an even greater ac-
cornplishment than talking over a few
miles OF wire IN the early days OF the
! telephone And II but a portion of the
success that has attended the latter
will be the result OF the motorless air
plane experiment. there can be no
doubt the invention will be perfected
until the motorless plane will be able
to DO all that is now done by its pro-
PEELED rival.

POLITICS IN RESERVE BOARD.

President Hardings failure TO re-
appoint Governor Harding as head of

mission that politics had entered into
the question Of the appointment. The
only thing against Governor Harding
was the impartiality of his record He
had refused TO Juggle with the public
credit for the sake Of the farmer vote.
Some more plant person had to be
found for the place.
To be mentioned for the office un-
der these circumstances is a highly
doubtful honor. Such mention carries
with it the implication that the one
mentioned is willing to risk the finan-
cial stability OF the country II the
farmer or any other class or section
demands assistance to that extent
This doubtful honor has fallen upon
two gentlemen now in the Govern
ment service, d. r. Crlssinger. Con-
troller Of the Currency, and John r.
Mitchell, a member of the Federal Re-
serve Board. Mr.. Crissinger is a Dem

would be certain cleverness in his
