IN LORNA DOONE." And LARRY Sc
MON in THE AGENT"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-04-21

The American Federation of Labor
started the fight for -partisanship
in politics and now almost everyone
favors it.
Since 1881 organized labor has stood
its ground for this theory, despite
attempted ridicule, misrepresentation
and honest opposition. Almost all OF
the latter opponents have disappeared
they have accepted the non-partisan
idea.
In the last several months non
partisanship has made its greatest
gains.
Even in the United States senate
a group from agricultural states has
organized a farm bloc, which has re-
peatedly kicked holes in the discipline
of their respective parties
The growth of partisanship is
also indicated by the increasing oppo-
sition of politicians to the primary
system.
Political independence is menace
to party machines. 1t destroys THEN
power to nominate tickets. The indie
pendent voter can adjust himself tt
the primary system. 1t permits him
to exercise his independence.
The politician and the agent fol
privilege oppose the primary system
The would return to the convention
system, where the delegates can be
delivered as needed
Party discipline has lost its force
and politicians are at their wits ends
TO re-establsh the power of the party
whip.
They insist that this government
is based on the party system, though
there is nothing in the history of the
federal constitutional convention t
warrant this claim.
Men no longer talk of party 10y
atty" This does not fit in wher
voters pride themselves on their pc
litical independence.
Under these conditions the trade
union movement enters this year:
primaries and elections with distinc
advantage over former years.
Today labor does not have to ex
plain or defend its non-partisan the
ory. No one now talks of voting
straight ticket"
The time is ripe for organized la
Dor to join hands with other forward

looking citizens and defeat the agents
of reaction, privilege and greed.
Organize now for the primaries
Don't overlook this strategic point
The primaries is where the founda-
tion for ship subsidies, sales taxes
anti-labor and other wicked proposals
are laid.
The primaries offer maximum OF
results for a minimum of effort.
Where primaries have been held
start now for the fall elections.
The independent voters of this coun-
try have it within their power to re-
tire from office every foe of American
ideals
The trade union movement can be
the hub around which this independ-
ent circle revolves Every local
should have a non-partisan committee
linked up with similar organizations
appointed by city centrals and state
federations, and all linked up with
the A. f. of L. national non-partisar
committee
The course of every trade unionist
is clearly charted. He is not confused
as to the best methods to resist ag-
gression and greed The times are
with him. His political policy is be
ing effectively used by others.

MONUMENTAL GRAFT
AUDIT OF FIFTEEN PER CENT OF ALL WAR CON-
TRACTS SHOWS STEAL OF FORTY-SIX
MILLIONS-THE LARGER CONTRACTS
ARE NOT INCLUDED
The Question Is: Will There Be Punishment or Can War
Gougers Escape By Crying, LESS Wages?

WESTINGHOUSE the great problem
How many cotton hose are neces-
sary every year for working girl ?"
to be replaced by this query: "When
will the grating war contractors and
influential citizens who shielded them
be punished ?"
Congressman Woodruff, world
war veteran, wants the war grafters
punished, and has introduced a reso-
luton providing for the creation of
committee to investigate all war
contracts.
He shows that 81 clerks in the war
department have audited 5000 of the
100, 900 war contracts and has secur-
ed information upon which to base
suits for the recovery of $4,000, 600.
The audited contracts do not include
the larger war contracts.
In his speech urging the adoption
Of his resolution Congressman Wood
ruff made some astounding assertions
and presented documentary evidence
of monumental graft.
1t was shown that during the 10
months of war with Germany con
gress voted more than 81 600, ,000. 600
for signal corps and aviation purposes,
but not one battle plane and not a
single bombing plane of American
manufacture, either Of American
or foreign design, was placed upon the
battle front.
"The Hughes investigating commit
tee, as well as the senate Thomas
committee and the house Graham
committee" said the congressman,
"ali developed facts and leads which
clearly indicated that hundreds of men
are guilty Of criminal conspiracy in
handling these aircraft and other war
contracts"
The Lincoln Motor Company receiv-
ed large contracts during the war, and
was actually overpaid $9,188 ,561. 96.
This concern has since been thrown
into the hands of a receiver who sold
the property for $8,OO0000. This
money is now held by the receiver and
/ Congressman Woodruff declared that
if the attorney general does not look
fully to the interests of the govern
ment in this case Il shall consider
him guilty of misfeasance in office
and shall move his impeachment upon
these grounds.

LABOR EDITOR IS WISE

Toronto, Ontari1.-Pleadings for
solidarity by the workers (com-
munist) party of Canada is not fool
ing the editor of Labor Leader, who
has this to say of the "saviors of
the toiling masses"
Let no trade unionist fool him
self about the workers party of
Canada. They have no love for trade
unionism, and are in the Unions for
the sole purpose of preaching their
propaganda Of hate towards orderly
and sane progress There is no Sc
cret about it. They openly say they
are communists, and are merely using
their present title to cover their prop
aganda. They will do to trade union
ism as did the one big union, which,
as we know to our cost, was to dis
rupt, disorganize and bankrupt"

FACT-FINDINC
AGENCY
For Coal Industry Urged By
Miners Leader

Washington.-The establishment of
a permanent, compulsory federal fact
finding agency for the coal industry
was urged by John Brophy, president
Of District No ,, United Mine Work
ers, before the house labor commit
tee.
The unionist declared that the pub
lie knows no facts of the coal indus
try, and that its production its sell
ing and its financing are in darkness.
A commission, along the following
lines, was recommended:
Five coal owners, FIVE miners and
two chairmen Five from each side
Go in all) will enable two to repre-
sent anthracite, two the central
competitive field, two the tidewater
district, two the other districts and
two the non-union fields preferably
West Virginia.. These 10 coal own
ers and miners and two chairmen
make II members, jury of Ameri~
cans, sitting on the case Of coal.
The sole purpose of this commits
sion is the exposure of all relevant
facts in coal, with recommendations
This means facts on the brokerage
method of handling free coal and
facts on mining investment, cost and
profit No question of wages can be
properly investigated without equal
probing of profits and speculating

RUSS TEACHERS
TURN To OTHER
LINES Of WORK
Government Is Unable to
Pay Instructors; Plan for
a Unified System Is Hav-
ina Hard Shedding.

Moscow, Oct. 14,-Russian chill
dren have started a new school
year with little prospect of better
conditions than they endured dur
ing the revolution.
In the Siberian district the in
debtedness cf the government to
the teachers for salaries has
reached the sum Of over S5,000,-
100000 rubles, says recent report
to the district soviet. This is a
mere fraction of the total amount
due to instructors in salaries. In
some districts teachers have not
been paid for many months, and
the officials have even ceased to
keep account of the arrears.
The lot of Russian school teach
ers has been a hard one. In the
villages they have been somewhat
better cared for than in the cities
because the peasants have taxed
themselves to contribute to the nee
essary expenses; have themselves
cut wood for the school fuel, and
have repaired many school houses.
In the cities the schools have been
left to governmental care. As re-
suit of these conditions many
teachers are turning to other
means OF earning a living.
The plan of the communists for
free and unified school system is
having Lard shedding. Decree aft
er decree has been passed forbid
ding the collection of fees from
parents for their children's educa-
tion, but local school authorities
from time to time make assess
ments" upon parents for the vari-
GUS expenses involved in maintain
ing the schools.

kans. 1t fell to pieces before II
reached Sofia,
THAT wasn't his fault. The plan
was good, the intentions were ex-
cellent, but there were factors
which he could not control"
The prime minister closed his
speech by saying:
Il place the national security
and prosperity above the interests
of anybody, and if in consequence
of that position which have TAX
en-that position which l mean to
abide by--if in consequence of that
I am driven alone into the wilder
ness, shall always recall with pride
that l have been enabled with the
support of oyal colleagues in dark
hour of this nations history, to
render it no mean service.
If this were the last day | held
this high position, l should be more
proud than ever of the fact that
it was given me in the last days
and weeks of my premiership to
invoke the might of this great em-
pire to protect from indescribable
horror, men, women and children
by the hundred thousands, who
were entrusting, to the plighted
word of France, Italy and Great
Britain as their shield and defense
and who are thanking God at this
hour that Britain, Great Britain,
has kept the faith"
One of the features OF Mr.. Lloyd
Georges speech was a violent per-
sonal attack on Lord Gladstone,
who has recently severely criticized
tho premier's Near Eastern policy.

said the premier, ito see Glad

tiles against the Turk. ! could
have taken it from any one else,
but from a Gladstone, it was par
ticularly offensive.
"I know the difficulty of any one
without adequate gifts who has to
carry through life a great name.
II he only does it with becoming
modesty he ensures compassion. If
not respect. am sorry to say
Lord Gladstone has never played
leading parts. He has given him
self airs such as his great father,
even in his most exalted days, new
er took upon himself. He has ac-
tually communicated me from
the liberal party"
Asking ironically what service
Lord Gladstone has ever done for
liberalism, the premier added:
"He is the best living embodi-
ment that liberal doctrine is quail
ity which is not hereditary. There
is no more ridiculous spectacle
than dwarf standing before the
footIights in garments inherited
from n giant"

the great spirit of cooperation
shown by the American personnel
was a great incentive to the mem
bers Of the Russian staff.
"Hofstra, who carried on the en-
tire job while l was i'll with the
typhus, November-December, 1921,
shared the same fate early in April,
1922, and but for the great work
of Drs. Sloan and Foucar, would
have met the same fate as Blandy
and it was many days before we
were sure that he would pull
through. Fortunately their untir-
ing services were successful, but it
will be sometime before Hofstra re-
turns to the same rugged health he
enjoyed,

veloped acute appendicitis in Au-
gust, 1922, and again DR.. Sloan's
skill mado a successful termina-
tion of this case. DIR. Surber's re-
covery from the emergency opera
tion was remarkably rapid.
"How Kelley got away safely is
beyond our understanding. He cer-
tainly was under much exposure,
and hard work as any of the rest
of us. 1t was a great relief to learn
that he had safely arrived in New
York. Murphy is we'll in spite of
the hard work at our headquarters
and repeated trips in the districts
has SO far gone safely through the
dangers. Howard and Verdon are
doubly charmed as they as well
have been exposed continuously
here in Ufa and as well put in con-
siderable time out in the districts,
mostly travelling via regular Rus
sian trains. Both Howard and Ver-
don having served with the A. r.

familiar with the dangers of ty-
phus, etc, but this has not deferred
them from more than fully doing
their work here in this disease-in-
tested territory.
Service Given by Sloan

the work of the American person.

reference to the great service given
at all times by DR.. r. N. Sloan. He
arrived in Ufa just about the time
that Hofstra developed typhus,
worked with him day and night at
tending to his regular duties as dis
trict medical officer at the same
time. How he did it all we do not
know. Just as Hofstra was COM
ing back to earth, Blandy's illness
commenced and again it was
twenty-four hours job, with the
additional knowledge that 1t would
possibly be losing fight, though
this did not check the untiring ef-
forts made to keep Blandy with us.
With two such men as Sloan and
Surber to care for our health, the
Ufa-U -Urals district has indeed been
fortunate and without this pair OF
keenly energetic youngsters II
