SUBMERGED IN EXEMPTIONS
 By George s. Levi.

Secretary Treasurer, Brotherhood of
 Railway and Steamship Clerks,
 Freight Handlers, Express and Sta
 ton Employes.
 The ship subsidy bill now before Congress is composed of many sp1en- did provisions; were the enactment of this bill solely for the benefit of the American public through the mer- chant marine.
 However, the many good points contained therein are greatly counter acted by special privileges, exemp- tions, deductions, ct cetera-words, which in themselves exemplify the means to the end" of the ship sub sidy.
 This bill should be defeated in so far as giving the merchant marine in to the hands of the private interests is concerned There is really no good or valid reason for selling these ships, as the waste of funds at the present time is largely due to i'm efficient management and could be remedied on short notice with regard to repairs and so forth. This point of the bill, to my mind, is fairly sub merged in exemption and shouts of burdensome levies to be borne by the United States Treasury. There are payments, of the largest conceivable sums at ridiculously low rates in in terest; the bill specifically stating "in- terest. at not less than two per cent, ;" "nor shall loan be made for a longer time than IS years.
 Further during the period of 10 years from the passage of the act any person selling a vessel as provided for in said bill shall be exempt from all tares that would be payable upon any of the proceeds of such sale un- der titles I, and 3 of the revenue act, with simple proviso, that would, as matter of fact, by any person en- gagged in the marine interests, be lived

MONTANA VOTERS PROTEST
 By Edwin H. Manson,

Secretary, Montana State Federation
 of Labor.
 As I understand the measure, it is the claim of it's proponents that 1t will take the government out of the ship ping business; it will build up a mer- chant marine that will handle at least a major part of our exports and inn ports; it will enable the shipping in terests to pay better wages to Ameri- can seamen; and it will give the farm CTS more adequate facilities for mar keting their surplus products.
 Just why should the government get out of the shipping business? It has invested billions in "a magnihecent fleet of ships which is paid for. It seems that the government might op- crate the ships itself at loss, fof a few years and still be- better off, by reason of the fact that it would still own the ships, and perhaps would not have sustained greater net loss than the proposed subsidy bill will amount to. It does not look like good busi- nes for the government to give it's ships away and pay some one to take them rather than use them in com petition with private interests.
 But I understand that the U. $. Shipping Board will have power of control over subsidized shipping in terests, that it is their purpose to
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-12-22

 to explain their action to their con stituents at home, voting to take their hard earned money and turn it over to private interests?
 The records show that the millions paid to the railroads never built a mile of track, or locomotive. Neither will the millions proposed to be given to our merchant marine build up our merchant marine or improve it's ser vice. Therefore l am strictly op- posed to the passage of such bill.
 If this government, or congress, wishes to subsidize our industries, why pick the largest ones? Why not include our farmers who today are on the very edge of bankruptcy, through defation of the prices re- ceived for products, and increased taxation?

PUBLISH THE VOTE By James M. O'Connor,

Secretary Treasurer, Amalgamated
 photographers of America. s-
 There are a thousand reason for op- position to this bill, which would take too long to enumerate. It is sufficient to say that if this bill is passed by the two houses of Congress, the American Federation of Labor should publish the names of the members of the House and Senate who voted for it and these names should be forwarded to every organization connected with the American Federation of Labor on the eve of the next election of con- gressmen and senators. This one vote should condemn them without giving a statement of how they voted on other bills which were opposed to the interest of the people at large and it will not be necessary for the A. F. of l.. to give list of I2 and Is bills which would only confuse the issue and would in effect prevent the voters from discriminating successfully between the candidates who are in favor of the people at large and the candidates who are in favor of the interests which up to the present time have controlled the government of this country.

On the morning. of June 22nd, 1922. on the outskirts of the little town of Herrin Illinois a breakers, and employees of Chicago detective agency killed by mob of 5000 people. Five union coal miners, Otis Clark Peter Hitler, Joseph Carnagh, Bert Grace and Leva Mann are on trial at the Circuit Court at Marion, Illinois, charged with the murder of Howard Hoffman, a private detective.
 As soon word of the killings published in the papers ot the country great outcry was raised. The National Coal Association, representing the coal operators, secured the services of the John Price Jones Cooperation with offices at 50 Mas. street. New York City. This concern, of the best known press agencies in the country, pre- pared an elaborate pamphlet called The Herrin Conspiracy which purports to give the facts about the Herrin killings and which has been circulated throughout the nation At the time the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, through special committee, commenced a campaign to raise funds for the prosecution of the against the miners. On the letter-heads soliciting funds, the Chamber of Commerce printed map of Illinois with black spot marked Williamson County together with the adjuration to remove this blot The Chca- go Journal of Commerce, the mouthpiece of the Chamber of Commerce printed daily in box on its front page demand that union men be indicted for the Herrin killings. Through these methods a large sum of money was raised for the prosecu- ton.
 Although Attorney General Brundage had stated in interview that in his opinion the Her rin killings inevitable because of the circum- stances surrounding them, the special Grand Jury summoned to bring in indictments failed to indict any of the officials of the coal company whose employees had killed unarmed union miners the day before the rioting.
 All this while the officials of the Illinois Mine Workers known the strongest unit of organ zed labor in the world, had refraned from par tcipation in the affair. When it became evident however, that the Herrin riot to be used antiunion text for the business interests of this country, the Illinois Mine Workers decided to de- fend their indicted members; President Frank Harrington of the Mine Workers said We will neglect of legal defense for these in dicted men,
 President Harrington had at the head of the legal department of the Illinois Mine Workers a lawyer of long experience in fighting labor's bat ties, Angus w. Kerr:

A Directory of Our FRIENDS

In pursuance of the movement which has for it's purpose the urging of all working people to give their combined support to reputable con- cerns that have uniformly shown a friendly attitude toward the cause of Labor, there will here be found a directory of enterprises which we feel can be conscientiously endorsed and which are, therefore, justly entitled to our good will and united co-opera- ton.
 It does not necessarily follow that concerns which are not here repre- sented- are unfriendly, nevertheless those listed on this page have demon strated their friendliness in various ways and should have our support.

BRooKHART AT BATi

Washington, D. C., Dec. a. Senator Smith Brookhart, newly seated senator from Iowa, has thrown consternation into the ship subsidy camp.
 Brookhart quietly proceeded to get pledges of enough votes to dis place the ship subsidy bill when ever the progressive senators are ready to offer rural credits bill.
 By this action the progressives appear to have taken command of the situation, making it impossible for the subsidy forces to jam the subsidy through as they had i'm tended.

Overwhelming Disapproval of Subsidy
 Registered by Labor Vote Throughout u s.

up to- What other group of persons or growing concerns could boast of such benefcence on the part of their government?
 The ship subsidy bill is the latest and plainest indication that the mon eyed interests of the country are served first, last and all the time. Has it not been proven that the Standard Oil Company alone will reap enor1n- ous benefits, being enabled to buy more ships usder this bill at lower rates of interest than the government pays for the very same money 1t is borrowing to lend such companies covering these transactions.
 In providing for compensation to vessels of the United States the bill states that such compensation is paid the owners in order to aid the de- velopment and maintenance of the American merchant marine, to pro- mote the growth of the foreign com merce of the United States, and to contribute to the national defense to carry out the policies set forth in Sec ton I of the Merchants Marine Act, 1920. It cannot be denied that the points at issue are of the utmost inn portance, but if the money to sub sidize a merchant marine Is to come out of the public treasury, why should it not become the property of the people so that they by the same token may reap some of the benefits which otherwise would accrue to merely a favored fed. The money expenditures compared to the bill as it now stands could certainly be no greater and Congress and the Presi- dent would at least have the satisfac- ton, if satisfaction it be, that they have passed one act particularly laud- able and to the ultimate good of the great Americanlpublic.

UNFAIR TO FARMERS By H. M. Thackrey
ecretary-Treasurer, Arkansis St;

retary-Treasurer, Arkansis State
 Federation of Labor
 1 realize the fact that the Legis- lature Committee of the A. F. of L. and the Joint Legislative Conference are using their best efforts to defeat the ship subsidy bill that has been brought forward by the President as the reason for calling a special ses- sion of Congress.
 I heartily commend you for your untiring efforts in the defeat of this measure.
 It vii lplace an excessive burden upon, an alreardy over-taxed people for the benefit of existing shipping companies or companies to be or ganized.
 This bill provides for loan to ship owners of revolving fund of $I25.- 100000 at per cent. interest and for period of Is years at time and up to two-thirds. the cost of the ships upon which the loan is to be made. Whereas, under the Federal Farm Loan system farmers are compelled to pay per cent interest and are not allowed to borrow more than SO per cent of the market value of their farms.

the same time, to espouse the rank est kind of "paternalism" (govern- ment aid of private industry).
 As to the benefits to be derived by the farmer, as result of this 1egisIa- ton, no one possessing intellectual attachments equal to those of a mor- on, believes there will be any such thing.
 The measure is, in my humble opinion, wholly vicious, and deserves to be defeated.
 The people, at the recent election, repudiated many of its advocates, and in Montana, where 1t was one of the l1vest issues, overwhelmingly defeated every candidate who was believed to be even slightly inclined to favor it.

Says We Must Make Kidneys
Clean the Blood and
PimpIes Disappear.

Pimples, sores and boils usually
result from toxins, poisons and Inn
purities which are generated In
the bowels and then absorbed into
the blood through the very ducts
which should absorb only nourish-
ment to sustain the body.
1t Ia the function Of the kidneys
to filter impurities from the blood
urine, but In many instances the
bowels create moro toxins and i'm
purities than the kidneys can
eliminate, then the blood uses the
skin pores as the next best means
of getting rid Of these impurities
which often break out all over the
skin in the form Of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin
Of. these eruptions. says a noted
authority, Is to get from any
pharmacy about four ounces Of
Jad Salts and take a tablespoon
full in a glass Of hot water each
morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the for
nation of toxins in the bowels. 1t
also stimulates the kidneys to nor
NAL activity, thus coaxing them
to filter the blood of impurities
and clearing the skin Of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harm
less and is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent drink which
usually makes pimples disappear;
cleanses the blood and 10 excellent
for the kidneys as well.
