Too late his wits may find him.

The power that God has given,

Republican talk of reducing taxes
and reducing prices becomes a mock
cry in view of the tariff bill reported
out of conference to the House. In
the conference revision changes have
been made in the way of slight COM
promise reductions and eliminations,
but in the main the high level of taxa
tion is maintained. 1t is estimated
that the general level is above the
Payne -Aldrich bill of infamous mem
ory which brought Mr.. Taft to hu-
initiating defeat.
The New York Herald, Republi-
can newspaper which opposed the
monstrosities of the bill, affirms that
careful calculation shows that the
new tariff bill will add from $4,000,
900, 900 to 90 500, 1000, 900 TO the cost of
living in the United States.
This huge sum will be added to the
burdens of the people and put into
the pockets of the privileged inter-
ests. The treasures of corporations
which have made vast profits will be
filed to overf1owing at the expense
of the people. Foreign trade, which
is necessary to general prosperity in
this country: will receive a death
blow.
~ Protection, which was inaugurated
to build up infant industries, is mace
the instrument of privilege to rob the
people for the benefit of vast, profit
able business concerns. 1t is used to
establish privileged monopolies which
feed fat upon the necessities of the
people.
The farmer, the merchant, the wage
earner-all elements of the people
who are unprivileged and suffer the
consequences OF dried-up foreigr
trade. The enriching of the rich ant
the impoverishing of the poor-thi'
| is normalcy from the Republican
standpoint.
Privilege is in the saddle. Protest
from the press of allshades of politica
opinion has been vain. The protest
of the people have been vain. There
is only one remedy; the ballot box
By the time that remedy is reached
the masters of privilege will have
stolen billions. but if the American
people do not overthrow the con
spirncy between organized greed ant

SAM GOMPERS.

The president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor is one of the most interest
ing exh bits in the United States. No
one better understands the value OF good
slogan. No one is more clever in playing
to the galleries. No once can adopt a
false position and keep his balance
through as long term of years as Sam
Gompers can.
When it is proposed that a national
court of conciliation somewhat like the
Kansas court of industrial relations shall
be established, he is right on the trigger
with his shopworn shockers about COM
pelling men to work, about reducing
workers to slavery, about involuntary
servitude. That is all 'old stuff,' and he
knows it is all buncombe, to use the Older
term or "bunk," to use the newer one.
He may have reiterated the phrases so
often as himself to believe them by this
time. But the truth is that he objects to
all forms of industrial tribunals establish
ed by law and to all proposals for the In
corporation of labor unions because the
strategy of his job requires him SO to do
and because he wants the labor unions to
keep their autocracy IN the Industrial
world. The federation which he heads is
the one body in this country that under
takes to say who shall work and who
shall not. The right to strike be makes
the cardinal article in his creed. The
riRh, to prevent other men from working
is not avowed in the creed, but his or
ganization lives by it and would have hard
work to live without it. How long, we
wonder, will Mr.. Gompers, clever as he
is, be able to "put over" the same old
TRADE about the enslavement of labor -

FEARFUL COST OF TWO STRIKES

There is food for very serious thought
in the official government estimates of
the losses to the strikers, to the employ
ers and to the business of the country in
the two nationwide strikes now going on.
More than half a billion dollars-S533,-
900, 000-is the portentous aggregate of
these losses, divided as follows:
Railway workers and coal miners, at
an average of S7,5OO,00 day, have lost
$l93, 000. 900 in wages.
The coal operators have lost S240, ,000,-
900, estimating 81 a ton for bituminous
coal that would have been mined during
The sixteen weeks of the strike
Total-S433, 600, 900 for these two items.
The railroads are estimated to have lost
the remaining 500, 600 through curtailed
transporta ion facilities and other ex-
penses.
There are 600. 900 miners and $50, 900
railroad workers on strike, according to
the estimate, an appalling total of l,240, =
900 men idle at time when every effort
is being made to reduce involuntary un-
employment to minimum that the coun-
try may get back to normal industrial
and economic conditions.

STRIKE BRIEFS

Nashville Strikers can
not be driven to Mines" says Lewis. No,
but they can be prevented from driving
others from the mines.
Detroit Free Press-If Mr.. Gompers is
so certain that nobody can be found to
take the places of the union miners, why
is he disturbed because the President has
promised protection to those who will
work2
Los Angeles Times-Legally, men have
a night to stop work when they please.
Morally, to cease production is wrong
The right of men to do wrong will never
be esta blished in a world n which men
are interdependent.
Albany jour inal-Won't Mr.. Lewis
kindly take a few minutes off to tell us
how the coal miners who said they
couldn't live on the wages they wer .
earning, are living so long even without
them2
San Francisco Chronicle-President
Harding's proclamation calling upon all
good citizens to uphold the laws, to pre-
serve the public peace and to facilitate
operations essential to the public welfare,
voices the real sentiment of the American
people.
Albany Journal-Workers should be-
/, ware of forming the habit of thinking
that the right to strike is more valuable
than the right to work.
