LABOR DEPARTMENT SHELVED
TO PAY FOR BRUTAL COSSACKS

Albany, N. Y. - Governor Miller
has practically destroyed the New York
state department of labor, declared Pc
ter ]. Brady, president, New York
State Allied Printing Trades council,
addressing the state convention of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, in
session here. He bitterly arraigned
both Gov Miller and U. S. Senator
William M. Calder, of New York, as
enemies of organized labor.
The method by which Miller has al
most entirely stopped the functiomng
of the department of labor Brady said.
was the cutting off appropriations of
100000. The money that was tax
en- from the state labor department, .
he declared, went to the state con-
stabulary and for the multiplication of
the cossacks who have ridden down
women and children in industrial CEN
tiers 10 which these cossacks were or
dered to intimidate workers who have
struck against unwarranted reductions
in compensation.

DULLES AND THUGS
(By The Federated Pressl

New York From no less an au-
thority than the Associated Press comes
the admission that the men supplied
by professional strikebreaking agen-
cies are DULLES and thugs. Not that
the Associated Press calls them that in
any of its dispatches goodness. no.!
If an Associated Press reporter or cor
respondent should use one of those
words to describe any strikebreaker in
any of his stories, he certainly would
be looking for another job the next
day. But just between the world
greatest news-gathering agency" and
its employees the information may, APP
parently. be regarded as eft to print. .
1t is given among some news writ
ing suggestions recently sent out by
the Associated Press to its correspond
ents, as follows:
Look out for that word strike
breaker 1t is associated in the public
mind with the bully and thug supplied
by professional strikebreaking agencies,
and should not be used to describe men
who act individually in accepting po-
sitions."
Which may explain why, in the AS
ISOLATED Press articles on the railroad
strike, there not only have been no
thugs and DULLES, but no strikebreak-
ers. They were replacement men.

LUCKY ABRAHAM LINCOLN

New York.-'If Abraham Lincoln,
the father Of the Republican party,
were alive to-day. he would, according
to President Harding. be serving a 70
year sentence in a federal prison, and
he would not be released as long as
President Harding remained in office. -
That statement is issued from the
headquarters Of the Committee of 48
here, as a result of Harding's decIara-
lion to the amnesty delegation which
recently called on him that he would
never release any prisoner who, it was
found, had advocated the overthrow of
government by force. The Committee
of 48 quotes Lincoln's declaration:
This country and all that is within
it belongs to the people who inhabit
ii, and whenever they shall tire of the
existing form of government, they have
the constitutional right to amend it, or
the revolutionary right to overthrow it
by force.
The 90 days" says the committee,
designated by the president for inves-
tigation have now passed, and we here
by petition the president not only to
pardon the IS political prisoners who
are still in confinement, but likewise to
grant full pardon to all those who
have been released. and to restore them
to their rights of citizenship
The petition is signed by Edith
Houghton Hooker, Cora Johnson, How
ard R. Williams, Daniel Kiefer, D. R.

San Diego, Calf There are those
who call anyone who speaks out
against the injustice heaped upon the
working classes, calamity howlers and
traitors, " said H. c. Ledyard. organic
er, Quarry Workers International
union, speaking on Labor day at Coro-
nado tent city They would bid the
workers be patient here and get their
reward somewhere beyond the silent
grave. The trouble is that there has
already been, on the part of lbaor, too
much patience. The one hopeful sign
is that at last the working classes have
come to understood that patience has
ceased to be virtue"
Citing the struggles, first, for reli-
glous liberty, ad later for political Ii
berty, and showing how disappointing
the results, the speaker continued: I'VE
members of the working classes are
not economically free. We may own a
creed, possess the ballot, but we do
not yet own our jobs. And the man
who owns the job owns the man who
works on the job. We have not yet
secured the right to work"
The speaker advocated industrial
unionism, but urged its attainment thru
the A. F. of L. He said: God knows
| do believe in the underlying prin-
ciples and ideals of the One Big Union
idea, but | want to tell you that the past
nine months have shown me that inside
and not outside of the A. F. of L. is
our best opportunity to hasten indus
trial organization He predicted that
the workers would win in the finish
fight now on to disrupt the unions and
bring in the open shop.

above described were able to force the
railway employees into a position where
they were required to choose either to

NO SOCIALIST TICKET
(By The Federated Press)

Minneapolis. = The filing of the
name of Mrs. FIilda M. Olson by peti-
ton as a Socialist candidate for gov
ernor has been abandoned. For the first
time in many years the name of the
Socialist party will not appear on the
ballot with candidates for state offices
at the fall election. According to To-
cal members of the Minneapolis party it
was decided that more could be gam
ed for socialism in an educational way
by remaining out of the present contest
in Minnesota. 1t is said this action
has the approval of the national party
officials.
This action means that the Socialists
of Minnesota VIII probably support
Henry Shipstead fo- United States SEN

FORD PLANT WORKERS
RETURN TO GRIND SINGING
(By The Federated Pressl

Detroit. Employees Of the Ford
Motor Co, in the automobile and trac-
tor plants and in the blast furnaces
work eight hours long. While the day
is twelve hours long in many other fac
tories. it is hard, driving Ford day,
a wearying day at top speed, for a liv-
ing wage for the Ford workers and mil
lions year for the Ford company.
Yet the thousands Of workers went
back to their Ford jobs singing at the
end of the four-day layoff, brought by
the coal shortage. When the gates at
the Ford plants swung open after the
shutdown they rushed through to their
old places at the machines under a
great volume of song from their own
lips:
'Roll On, boys, roll on, roll,
The old joints opened:
For Henry has the coal"
This was the song that the first shift
Of the $4,000 toilers at the Highland
Park plant sang when the lights flash
ed on in the great factory at midnight
There has been good deal of talk
about the right Of all men to work, ;"
said one member Of the working class
on this occasion. But if the Ford en-
ployes had tried to reopen the factories
after Ford had closed them, tried to
reopen them on the plea of the right
Of all men to work, they would have
been shot down or put in jail. The
right to work is just what the workers
are afte-; the right to work but not the
right to starve.
"A Ford job is slave job. But
Ford job is a better slave job than
most jobs. And 100000 workers are
SO glad to have chance even to slave
under tolerable conditions that they
sing when one man permits them to re-
turn to the jobs he owns"

No longer are men satisfied with the
face that is perfectly chiselcd according
to Grecian standards. They prefer in

That many artists are breaking away
from the old dlctum of the Greek school

Is evident in their work Recently the
art world was startled by the exhibition
Of a bronze statue carved by Rudolph
Belline, pioneer among the I'M
pressiOnists.
The statue was a head with certain of
its facial features cut so sharply, so al
most sayagely, that it glared out from its
pedestal like gargoyle from the top Of
Notre Dame. Crowds at the exhibition
stopped before IL and stared, bewldered
to understand what the sculptor had In

margin allowed by the Greek ideal, which
demanded a much weaker chin than the

character among women is more pro-
nounced."
1t is Miss Harrisou's opinion that
modern life, in which women are parti-
cipating more actively every year, has
created a marked change in their physi-
ognomy and thus developed types which
depart radically from the qualities still
insisted upon in SO many Of the art
Nowhere, she says, is this more evident
than in the case of the American girl. She
is considered, both by foreign and native
artists, the ideal type Of modern beauty.
Yet the probabilities are that, were a
census taken Of thousand American
beauties, not ninety per cent. of them
would be pure Grecian- in their features.

STTHREE lovely faces from Europe
have put the art professors in
what is slangily known as a jam.
Either the art professors must recant on
the theory they have been teaching be-
Rinners ever since there were art
schools or they mQst deny the evidence
of their own eyes and declare the three
loveliest faces are not lovely at all!
Here are the three-Mrs. C. f. Eaton,
society beauty of London; Signorina Rita
Guarini, selected by a committee of
painters and sculptors as the most beau
tiful girl In Rome; and Mile. Fanchon
Parisis, the newest reigning flame of the
Partisan stage
Each Of these radiant ladies Is pro-
claimed bv her fellow countrymen to be
the most beautiful in her respective
sphere. Yet each Of them, when judged
by the so-called "art test" fails to meet
In other words, if an art student drew
the face of Mrs. Eaton exactly as it
appears in the photograph, his rofessor
would look upon the work, shake his head
and murmur, "All wrong all wrong"
Likewise, should he put the faces of
Signorina Guarini and Mile. Fanchon
TO canvas in the identical proportions in
which they exist IN real HE, the pro-
fessor would have to declare, "Ihe chin
Is out OF draWlngi you nave not STUCK
to the Greek test"
The discovery that the three loveliest
faces in Europe violate the principal
canon of the art schools has plunged the
artists of both America and Europe into
heated controversy.
One faction, the old conservatives,
insist that a human face cannot be
beautiful unless it measures up, by frac-
tional inches, to the standard set by the
old Greeks. II the face does not, then it
is not a perfect face, no matter how
lovely it appears 90 be.
But another faction, representing the
"free-thinkers" in art, declare beauty
cannot be gauged by tape measures.
What if a city face does violate a
rule? The rule is wrong, not the face,
II is high time, declare the Independents,
that the art schools pitch their charts and
casts out the window, if the charts and
casts are going to bar from beauty Mrs.

The age when American girls lived in
an atmosphere Of lavender and old lace,
when bellies were pale and interesting,
when It was fashionable 10 droop and
swoon like lilies, produced a beauty char

as TO be almost devoid Of character.
The modern America girl, like her
sisters in other countries, lives an out
of-door life. She is taught to swim and
ride and play games. Or she goes out
into the world and battles for Ter bread
With freedom Of action she also has a
new freedom of thought. And, as she
grows into womanhood, she becomes a
participant in politics, art, professions,
