Was 1t Accident or Suicide?

Harry M. Brand, aged thirty
eight, a glassworker of Utica, was so
badly injured by an interurban car
at Sixth and Main streets, at 1870
Tuesday night, that he died two hours
later at the Newark Sanitarium from
loss of blood and nervous shock. Both
legs were so badly crushed that an
amputation close to the body was
necessary. 1t is not known whether
the casualty was the result of an ac-
cident or was deliberate suicide, al
though Brand stated before his death
that he caught hold of the car handle
and was thrown under the wheels. AS
he was a patient at the Sanitarium,
receiving treatment for nervous trou-
Bile, and the car was running empty to
the barns, the latter theory is more
probable. He is survived by his wife
and three children. The remains
were taken to his home in Utica, and
funeral services will be held Satur-
day afternoon, interment being made
in the Lower cemetery.

Let the Navy Yards
Do Government Work
(By Federated Press)

Washington-At least 10000 en-
ployes in Government navy yards are
discharged, and many thousands of
skilled men in private shipyards are
likewise laid off, as the first result of
President Harding's order to stop all
work on the battleships which are to
be included in naval reduction pro-
gram.
Fifteen hundred employees dismissed
at the Washington Navy Yard have
appealed in vain to the Navy Depart
ment. They have asked that the ad-
ministration take immediate steps to
divert Government work to the splen-
didly equipped navy yards, and tqsstop
the letting of contracts for production
of Government supplies in private
plants. President Johnston of the In
ternational Association of Machinists
and President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor are appealing
direct to President Harding.
The blow which has fallen upon
large portion of the industrial work
ers in Washington, however, is being
felt by the local merchants and
bankers, who handle the wages of
these men now added to the army of
unemployed. The local press is fea-
turing the demand that the surplus fa-
cilities of navy yards and arsenals be
devoted to making all kinds of sup
plies for Government use. They are
supporting also the amendment adopt
ed by the House to a pending appro-
priation bill, under which the Ship
ping Board would be compelled to
send ships for repair or recondition-
ing to navy yards.
President Johnson, in communica-
tion to President Harding, outlines
the manner in which work from the
Army Transport Service, the Light
house Service, the Emergency Fleet
bodies might have been diverted to
the navy yards, and remarks that the
administration has shown a "callous
lack of interest" in these suggestions
when they were urged by spokesmen
of the organized workers. He cites
the Administrations opposition to
having the Leviathan reconditioned at
the Boston Navy Yard as an index of
its general attitude of histility to per-
| mitting the Government to do its own
work in its own plants.
Johnston presents four proposals
for bringing Government work into
these Government establishments, and
for preventing the submission of false
estimates of overhead costs on the
part of hostile officers in control of
Government yards. He points out
that the proposed new policy will re-
employ the discharged men, save
many millions to the public treasury,
reduce the corrupt and jingo influence
that comes of private profit in Govern
ment munition contracts, and keep the
Government plants intact and in first
class condition.

BRYAN SAYS UNIONS WILL BE
RECOGNIZED.

Whatever may be thought Of Will
liam j. Bryan's political stunts, it
can not be said that the illustrious
Nebraskan is not a prophet. His the
ories advanced 25 years ago on pro-
hibition, equal rights for women, in
come tax, became realities, although
at the time Bryan suggested these re-
forms he was branded as wild-eyed
and hair-brained. Time proved
Bryan's foresight was better than
most peoples hindsight.
Therefore, the world at large will
give serious thought and reflection to
Bryan's latest predictions, that ma
tional and state laws will be enacted
to vindicate labor's right to organize,
to bargain collectively and to persuade
wage earners to join organizations.
These rights will be secured, Bryan
promises, and the public will approve.
Imagine the picture of horror by
big business when it sees organized
labor gaining its rights through
popular will. Bryan does not say
these reforms will be won over night.
Oh, no, it means years of persistent
effort, in which United States senators
and congressman will be made to re-
spect the ambitions of ga" majority.
AS it is, senators and congressman
pay little or no attention to 1abor's
demands unless the political district
is close and one vote may decide an
election.-Printing Trades Bulletin.

Army of United Vets
Kicks on COSSaCkS
(By Federated Press)

Ottawa-Resolution passed in To-
ronto by the Grand Army of United
Veterans ask the Canadian govern
ment to demobilize the Royal Cana
dian Mounted Police, on the ground
that the ex-service men of Canada do
not need special police supervision and
that the existence of the force as at
present constituted is an insult to the
citizens of Canada. This body of con-
stabulary was organized in 1873 to
maintain law and order in the North
west AS settlement took place the
new provinces assumed the admins
tration of justice, narrowing the field
for the old Northwest Mounted Police
to the Yukon and the still morgan
lied lands of the far north.
But the war with it's aftermath of
suspicion and espionage created a new
avenue for the police force. 1t was
increased in size, the headquarters
were removed from the prairies to Ot-
tawa. Government officials obsessed
with the belief that the country was
teeming with "Reds" determined to
overthrow the government found in
the enlarged police force ready in
strument.
In 1919 the homes of labor men in
Calgary and other western cities were
raided at night and socialistic and 9TH
er literature seized. The University
of Alberta was raided. There was a
tendency upon the part of employers
to consider the mounted police their
special allies in labor disputes.

LA TOILETTE DEFENDS LAbOR.

An alliance between the federal Ju-
dietary and big business was charged
on the floor of the United States SEN
ate by Mr.. La Toilette, who declared
that courts are stripping the workers
of their weapons of defense that their
spirit may be crushed and a new gen.
Grafton of serfs may be bred.
"No such powerful combination has
ever been arrayed together for an evil
purpose of this country" said the Wis
consin law maker. I'm comparison
with it, the slave power, with It's rep,
resentatives sitting in the senate ana
house, and with its spokesman as chleI
Justice of the supreme court deliver
ing the Dred Scott decision, pales IN
to insignifcance by the record that Is
being made by the federal courts IN
our time"
In protesting against wage reduc-
tions Senator La Toilette said:
when the workers are well pald
and steadily employed, there is pros
perity and a good market, not only
for merchants but for farmers and
manufacturers as we'll. When half
the workers are on the streets seeking
employment and the other half are
being paid wages insufficient to main
tain decent standard of living, there
is commercial and agricultural sag
nation and depression which all the
unemployment conferences and agrl-
cultural conferences in the world can
not relieve or even appreciably re-
lieve.
"This is the great economic truth
which every statesman must realize.
1t is so self-evident that child in
grammar school can understand it:
And yet it is ignored and violated
every day by those who are now in
control of the destinies of this nation" "

SOME INSIDE r. r. HISTORY.

In a 50-page special edition, the
Blacksmiths' Journal assemblies vast
amount of the inside history of Amer
ican railroads and their secret control
by a group of bankers and tinanciers.
In his foreword, Editor Martin says:
"In the preparation of this story,
the writer first desires to advise that
statements herein made have not been
invented, but are actual facts gath
cred from government records, which
may be consulted by those who so de-
sire"
1t is shown that group of IL New
York banks and 25 men hold control
of 80 per cent, or about 2l1 ,28O miles,
of the country's steam transportation
system. These are interlocked with
railroad equipment companies and
steel companies, making a solid pha-
lanx in opposition to labor, and in
enforcing lower wages and reduced
working standards.
1t is shown that T. Dewitt Cuyler,
president of the American associa-
tion of railway executives, and spokes-
man for the executives in their anti
labor campaign, holds the greatest
number of bank directorships. Includ-
ed in the 25 men is w. w. Atterbury,
chairman of the labor committee of
Cuyler's association, and who is we'll
known for his anti-labor policy. At
terbury is vice president of the Penn
sylvania railroad.
The same forces control coal min
ing companies, as we'll as steel and
equipment companies. 1t is shown
that the steel trust reported in 1917:
"ln the Mingo district, West Virginia,
and the Black mountain district, Ken
lucky, there were acquired 57,723
acres coking coal land and 48,884
acres surface land"
The compilation of this information
by the Blacksmiths' Journal will be
appreciated by every one who desires
information on the secret methods of
that group of bankers and financiers
generally known as "Wall street."

THE ARMS CONFAB.
(By Federated Press)

The Arms Confab has come and
went, and shows cap'talistic bent. 1t
ant put wars upon the blink; they
never ,nought of such a think. Tley
wondered how they could get by with
cost of war way up sky-high. Europe
had got just where it must cut down
expense or else go bust, and pacifsts
in this here land somehow had shown
enough of sand, so they had Congress
in a frame where twas inclined to
cut the game, while it still straddled
the fence by keeping armies for de-
fense.
They found big ships were obsolete
(for bombs could take them off quite
neat). So they agreed with lots OF
glee to cut them out to degree. The
submarines are things they'll keep, OF
which each nation has a heap. The
aeroplanes they still retain. No
poison gas they'll use again-at least
that's what they seem to say, though
in war and battle-fray, twill be most
difficult of course to make rule they
can enforce.
The Eastern Question came up last
and they got through it awful fast
From what | read of it, think the
Jap still hold on the Chink.
Well end up wars when working
folk throw off the capitalistic yoke.
'Taint common people wants to fight
but those who have the power and
might to load up cannons on the
trains and send boys out to save their
gains, to stop our mouths with gag
law, so we can't speak of what we've
saw, turn US all into hypocrites, while
plus nercenters all has fits.

FEDERAL FUNDS AID STATES
IN FOREST FIRE PROTECTION.

Allotments of 100000 of Federal
funds to States cooperating with the
Government in protecting forest
lands from fire have just been COM
pleted by the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture.
This sum, together with at least
an equal amount which must be sup
piled by the. States cooperating. is
expended jointly by Federal and
State agencies in protecting from
fire forest lands at the headwaters of
navigable streams. The allotment
is made on the basis of timbered
area and cost of adequate protec-
ton. The Federal expenditure in
any State is restricted to not over
$4,000.
According to the Forest Service,
although the money is insufficient to
insure adequate forest fire protec-
ton, it has in connection with State
funds enabled substantial progress
to be made in that direction.
Maryland's allotment is $3.50.

THE AMERlCANP PRESS ASSCClATION
SECOND CHOICE LAW.

Because of the complexity of the
second-choice provisions of the Pri-
mary Election law, which may be
invoked in the three-cornered Demo-
cratic Senatorial fight, election Of
ficials and party workers are having
great difficulty in understanding
what must be done under the law.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived by State officials.
The underlying principle Of the
law is that a choice must be made
by majority instead of plurality.
The rule applies equally in deter
mining the choice of political unit
that is, a county or legislative
district-and in determining the
final result of the choice of all the
units.
In the County, following the cleo
ton, the officials must determine the
first choice of majority of those
who voted in the Democratic pri-
mary, and then the second choice
for the guidance of the delegates
from the county to the State con-
vention.
BY applying these rules the dele
CATION from each county will ente'
the State convention with definite
instructions as to it's first and sec
ond choices. If any of the three
candidates for the nomination fol
Senator had clear majority of al
the delegates in the convention
that is, 67 or more, as the first
choice, all would be over. But II
no candidate had a clear majority
then the second choice would be re-
sorted to.
