EXPOSING PROFITEERs.

If one-half of what American LIE,
gion investigators are now publicly
charging is true, the fact that profi-
teers who fattened at the expense of
the government have not yet been
prosecuted and made to, disgorge is
even worse national scandal than
we had supposed all along.
The Legion investigators are men
tioning names. They do this doubtless
because, as they say, most men who
had dealings with the government
were honest. The number who did
not hesitate to make use Of their Of
ficial positions to benefit themselves
and their friends is large, however,
and the tragic part of it is that they
are still free men. Republicans
blamed the Wilson administration for
not prosecuting the grafters, and now
that they are in power they them
selves are doing nothing.
"There is nothing more contempti-
BILE in the whole history Of the Amer
lean people, says the Columbus Dis
patch. "They (the profiteers and
grafters) robbed their country with
all the ruthlessness of the Hun. The
swag is still in their possession, and
none Of them has been punished. It
is not strange that the soldiers felt,
when they returned home, that some
thing was coming to them, and. every
body would have been happy if the
illicit gains could have been taken
from the profiteers and given to the
men who did so much to; win the
war; ..~>

You remember when you we're .

did: not enjoy that priceless privilege
when you were a boy, you~ probably
did not get among the lads whose
mothers had an inspiration which
prompted 'em to make a pair. OF
pants for My Boy Tom-home-made
pants. And how some of the boys
used to kid the wearers Of the home
made stuff. One of the jokes-and
it was not far-fetched either. was
the one about the kid wearing a
homemade pair of pants, Of whom
it was said, no one knew whether the
boy was going to school or coming
home.
Would you believe it. that we have
several local unions which occupy
a somewhat similar position? It's =
fact, because no one, not even the
local union officials, know whether
the union is coming or: going. -
Course you know the difference
between a conner and a goer: one is

DAUGHERTY IMPEACHMENT,

The entrance of the eminent New
York attorney, Samuel Untermyer, in
to the case and the decision of the
senate committee by the solid vote
Of the Republican members to post
pone it until after election, have sud-
denly lifted the impeachment pro-
ceedings against Attorney General
Daqgherty instituted by Oscar Keller,
Minnesota congressman, in connection
with the railroad injunction, to the
status and interest Of national
drama.
The postponement Of the case until
December by the Republican major
ity Of the committee is 20 palpably
a political trick that it will hurt rath-
er than help the Republican machine
in the election. It will be interpreted
as a confession of guilt. >and fear.
Mr.. Untermeyer' opinion that the
attorney general should be removed
from office for "unwillingness or in
ability to enforce the antitrust laws,
in which his action and non-action
have reached the proportion of a
great public scandal resulting in i'm
minent peril to the country,' adds
zest to the case.
That Congressman Keller has am
pie grounds for impeachment pro:
ceedings against Daugherty. is indi.
Gated by the recent opinion Of Judge
John II. McCann Of Cambria county,
Pa, court: :
"The use of the injunction today
by the court is deplorable," declares
Judge McGann. - :.
II doubt if there is single lever
which will bring about as much harm
as the power of the injunction in the
hands Of an unscrupulous judge.
"An injunction issued for the pur-
pose Of forcing a man or men to work
for another against his or their will
is nothing short of chattel slavery.
"a man has the right under the
constitution Of the United States to
work for. or to refuse to work for,
whomsoever he. may choose. He may

reason at any time he may elect. That

On a red hot griddle up near the

OUR MARKETING SYSTEM.

Ruin faces the potato growers in
the state of Washington and in Idaho,
says news dispatch, because ship
ping dealers are refusing to purchase
the potatoes other than on consign-
ment, which means that the growers
will get whatever is left after the
dealers sell the potatoes and divide
up with the other middlemen and
transportation companies. Rather than
submit to such impossible terms many
farmers are letting the potatoes rot
in the ground. Thus we see In oper-
alton another phase of or beautiful
system which permits horde of mid
dlemen monopolists to- stand between
producer and con umer while food
rots and people starve.

AN OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK.

At this time of hard fighting on the
part of organized labor against the
forces that, taking advantage Of de-
pressed world conditions, would
achieve the destruction Of unionism,
and the restoration of the hopeless
"open shop" it is refreshing to hear
a leader of organized labor, who
commands the confidence not only of
the great body of unionism, but Of
the general public as we'll, sound a
hopeful and optimistic note for some
permanent basis of industrial peace.
In his Labor Day interview, Hugh
Frayne, general organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, is
quoted as saying:
II never like to sound a pessimis-
tic note, no matter how forbidding a
prospect may seem. At the moment,
pessimism is little justified from our
standpoint. Organized labor has
proved its right to be here by the
good it has done generally in estab-
fishing better and more humane con-
ditions for the workers, and believe
that those who started out with the
idea Of destroying the trades unions
are now convinced that they under
took an impossible task, which, even
if successful, would not solve the Ia
bor problem as it presents itself TO
them. Rather would it magnify their
difficulties.
Gin few months time, when coal
production and railroad operation will
have got back to normal, look for
much better and healthier condi-
tion generally through the nation. The
coming spring should inaugurato a
period of prosperity such as thl4 coun-
try has never known before, and
every unit in our whole industrial life
should share in q profitable activity
created by impelling conditions>which
are now on the immediate horizon.
That the near future brings promise
of a vast prosperity for America no
observer of developments can deny.

LIVING COST FIXED INCOMES,

LIVING COST FIXED INCOMES.
The announcement by the United
States labor department. that the cost
Of living was per cent higher in
August, 1922, than in August, 1921,
will undoubtedly, come a shock to
those who have swallowed the Hard
ing bait that we are on the road to
,"normalcy.'' '.-
A per cent advance in the cost Of
living means that everybody with a
fixed income, such as wage and sal
,ary earners, farmers who have their
incomes ''fixe4" by middlemen, peo-
pie who have fixed incomes from
property which they cannot increase
at will, like the .profiteers and price
fixers do, have had their incomes de-
creased 9 per cent without their
knowledge or consent. Such reduc-
tion with the mass of the people. con-
stitutes a serious lowering Of the
whole standard Of life resulting in
great deprivations and injuries. "
The question arises, why has this
thing occurred in the midst of all our
alleged craftsmanship, wisdom, law
making machinery for changing con-
ditions and correcting. evils, and gi-
gantic sindustrial resourcesi The ans
wer is short. The cost Of living has
gone up because the interests that en-

year with confidence and hope. It
will do its share to bring about the
revival of industry and industrial ac-
tivity which is surely impending.
What Mr.. Frayne says about the
full vindication Of unionism finds am
pie confirmation in recent events,
testing in the fullest sense and un-
der general conditions most favorable
to labor's adversaries, the right Of
collective bargaining and other basic
and fundamental principles Of union
ism. Even the enemies of labor or
ganization recognize this now.
But the note in MI. Frayne's in
terview that caught the public at
tention and won the public admira-
tion was its distinct hopefulness. Nor
is there any reason to believe that he
was sounding merely empty cheer.
On the contrary, he spoke from wise
industrial foresight when he told Of
the coming of an era Of prosperity
for American labor. He knew that
conditions were ripe for such pros
perity and that labor, having: won it's
big fights against the worst. odds it
has ever faced, is in shape to parti-
cipate fully in the rewards Of the
prosperous season that is due for
American industry.
Labor only has to do it's share, rs
Mr.. Frayne pledges it will, to get
this participation.

OF ARGoNAUT MINE.

The finding of the bodies of the
miners in the Argonut mine, Jackson,
CAL, after % days of battling
through muck and solid rock by the
rescuing forces, brings up a terrible
picture Of the short desperate strug-
gle for life which undoubtedly ended,
in the death Of the men few hours
after the fire had cut off their re-
treat.
Under more fortunate circum-
stances these brave men might have
been alive today. In many mine
fire men have successfully shut out
the gases and lived without food and
without light for weeks. Water is
almost always present in deep mines.
With nothing to sustain life but wa
ter, in total darkness and without
bedding in'an atmosphere and on
ground that is damp and cold, the
sturdy breed Of miners have been
known to live as long as the period
that has elapsed since the Argonaut
fire broke out.
One Of the most notable cases was
the great Butte mine fire in 1918.
Through the presence of mind, iron
will and ,generalship Of man named
Dugan the imprisoned men were able
to barricade themselves off from the
gases. Dugan. kept up their spirits
and morale through the long inter-
vening weeks in which the rescuing
forces were hammering their way to-
ward them by sheer cheerfulness and
will power. When the rescuers reach
ed the surface with the exhausted
men Dugan was not with them. A
>hasty search disclosed his dead body
in another part Of the mine. His
effort had eben so great that his rea-
son snapped at the, moment Of the
rescue. His widow was elected county
Auditor at the next election. Of such
stern stuff are the heroes Of hard
handed toll. ~-...
