MIR. COOLIDGE TALKS

Boston.-The cause for present con-
ditions is that the masses of the peo-
pie are striving for Injuries, said Vice
President Coolidge in an address at
an industrial conference at Welles-
ley Hills.
Because of war, he said, there was
great rise in the general scale of
living. "All at once luxuries became
necessities. But the great mass of
people, regardless of station, found
this extraordinary material prosper
ity disappointing and unsatisfying
Believing that the cause of their dis
content was still "a lack of posses
sions, they reached for more and more
until an artificial condition was Gre
ated that was beyond the power Of
the resources of the nation to sus-
tain"
Other profund utterances by the
vice president were:
There is no substitute for virtue.
"The great power of mankind has
been created through unity of action.
'The people of America have long
been committed to democracy"

MOLDINC PUBLIC
OPINION

Chicago.-Much anti-union propa-
ganda issued from commercial bodies
and chambers of commerce is inspir-
ed by railroad arrangements, declare
striking shop men, who cite letter
to station agents of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Burlington from a
high official of that road The sta
tion agents are given this order:
81 wish you would personally give
this memoranda to the secretary of
your commercial club or any other
civic body, and ask him if he will
have the subject brought up for dis
cussion at an early meeting"
The letter then attempts to absolve
railway managements, and pleads for
the truth to be made known. 1t
closes with this untruthful state
ment:
''In this controversy the shop crafts
employees have not only constantly re-
fused to recognize the United States
labor board, or any of its edicts, but
| have information indirectly that
they have lately imposed unreason-
able and arbitrary conditions for set
tlement of the controversy, and in
sist that all of their demands be COM
piled with, otherwise they will con-
tinue on strike"

THE TRIUMPH OF HARDING"

Under the above caption the Gin
cinnati Labor Advocate hands out
the following warm editorial:
The reactionary press all over the
country are proclaiming the victory
of Hon. Carmi A. Thompson as "a
triumph for Harding" In Thomp-
sons nomination they see the only
ray of hope for reaction.
We fail to see why they want to
wish such a horrible thing upon Mr..
Thompson, and for his sake we sim
cerely hope that he will deny the al
legation at once.
There is but one construction to be
put upon that statement, and that is
that if the nomination of Thompson
for governor of Ohio was "a triumph
for Harding" then it was a triumph
for the biggest migrate and double
crosser in the country; triumph for
the man who sold his friends to gain
the help of his enemies.
A triumph for hard times; tri-
umph for unemployment; a triumph
for crippled industry and ruined COM

WHY THESE WRECKS?

Under the above head Samue
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, writes an article
in which he further asks, "Is it be,
cause engines are going to pieces
while kept in service?" And then his
article continues:
Reports of railroad wrecks have
been frequent of late and in at least
one accident, on the Missouri Pacific.
thirty-fve persons were killed and
more than one hundred injured.
There has been no statement as to
the cause of these frequent wrecks
other than the statements issued by
railroad managers which have uni
formly ascribed the wrecks to causes
other than faulty railroad equipment.
In the most serious of these recent
wrecks the railroad officials stated
that the engineer had run past stop
signals.
In view of the large number of
apparently authentic statements
charging a deplorable condition of
railroad equipment, the public should
be furnished with a more authoritative
and unbiased statement than any
which are furnished by railroad Off
cials where accidents occur.
If it is true that high percentage
of locomotives is unfit for operation,
may it not be the case that the in
creasing frequency of railroad wrecks
is due to the use of such defective
locomotives? +?
1t seems to me entirely proper that
in every case of railroad accident
there should be an immediate inquiry
by public officials who are not under
the influence of railroad authorities,
and that the public should be imme-
diately informed of the results of
such inquiry, in order that it may be
known whether use of unfit locomo-
tives, in defiance of rules of safety

WHO'S STOPPING EN-?

Springfield, Mass.-In a speech be-
fore the Rotary Club of this city,
Governor Charming H. Cox shrieked
to high heaven that strikebreakers
have the right to work The COVER
nor presented his plea for "free and
Independents" with the usual crafty
imputation that organized labor is
responsible for the failure to recruit
strikebreakers. The governor .ignor-
ed the failure to mine coal in Penn
sylvania and Indiana, where a score
of soldiers guard every strikebreaker.

DANCES JIG
Atterbury Is So Tickled At
Prospect of Continued
War With Strikers

Philadelphia General Atterbury,
of the Pennsylvania railroad, was so
delighted over the prospect of con-
tinued war between the railroads and
union shop men that he danced jig
after leaving the White House, ac-
cording to the Washington CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia North
American.
The correspondent telegraphed his
paper:
General W. w. Atterbury, of the
Pennsylvania, who has been irrecon-
cilable, danced jig while holding on

York Central.

new FORM OF
TREACHERY

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Of
ficials of the defunct one big union
in Winnipeg are urging the organiza-
tion of dual railroad mems union,
and the Alberta Labor News asks;
"Who is prompting the Q. b. u. Off
cials to carry on their campaign ?"
The labor paper stamps this move
as probably the most traitorous of
a long line of treacherous attempted
betrayals of the organized workers in
western Canada.
when the railway men and miners
of this continent are fighting for their
very existence, the o. B. U. Bulletin
is carrying on a campaign with the
deliberate purpose of destroying the
workers confidence and disrupting
their organizations.
"The nature of the comment in the
O. B. U. Bulletin gives weight to the
doubt which arises regarding the real
source of the O. B. U. campaign"

OUR HUMOROUS PRESIDENT

OUR HUMOROUS PRESIDENT
After President Harding's sugges-
tion that the striking railway shop
men return to work under the old
scale of wages and that the matter
of seniority rights be referred to the
railway labor board for final decision
is there anyone to gainsay that there
is a broad sense of humor in our
president hitherto unknown? Es-
pecially isn't this true when even the
dullest of the dull knows right now
that the decision would be six to
three ruling against the strikers?
Speaking of chose funny boards
the Railway Garments Journal says:
Everyone has heard of the express
sion, "Heads / win, tails you lose.'
Evidently the genial president of our
nation believes that the workers in
telligence is of the nature which al
lows it to sincerely believe in shell
games and other means for separat.
ing a man from his pocketbook
Washington politicians at least place
low value on human intelligence OF
they never would have established q
labor board with it's present peculiar
makeup had they thought otherwise
As long as we give any president
the choice of appointing men for any
public group we may rest assured
that they will not be men friendly
to labor In labor controversies
there are no men who can truthfully
say that they are unbiased either
way. 1t requires several courses o1
angel culture to make a man forget
his prejudices.
Big Business in it's roundabout way
gets the president it wants. The less
intelligent he is, the better for them
Men holding presidential honors are
not recruited from the workers. They
are we'll known men in political life
and environments and training bring
them in contact with big men of the
business world whether during the
hours of labor or in social relaxation
The result is that when men are ap-
pointed to represent public group
they are invariably men of the busi-
ness world On the face they appear
truly representative.
WHEN LABOR ALLOWS ITSELF
TO BE GOVERNED BY A BOARD
WHEREIN A PUBLIC GROUP IS
NAMED BY THE PRESIDENT OF
OUR NATION. IT HAS INDEED
SOLD IT'S BIRTHRIGHT.
At the present time an attempt is
being made by Harding to form a
conciliatory board for adjusting the
coal mine controversy. 1t was felt
that something should be done since
the expected smashing of the min
ers' organization had failed. So as
usual, political instead of statesman
like tactics are being used There
shall be a board of adjustments
many members from the miners and
so many from the operators, and
Harding, yes, Warren Gamaliel Har-
ding, will appoint the public group.
The main logic would be funny if
the result would not have such a
tragic ending. The only way to cut
out the "heads | win or tails you
lose" stuff is to let the members of
the two sides decide who they want
for the other party. If they are able
to decide, justice has a good chance
to prevail, and, if failure to decide
results, it will only prove that there
is no such thing as an unbiased pub
lie group man, which is exactly what
we started out to say in the first
place.

Constant reiteration, by persons
evidently in possession of accurate
information, of charges that totally

in freight and passenger service of
the various railroads justifies the de-

the increasing number of wrecks than
those offered by railroad officials.

Supplies were comparatively heavy

Choice cows went at 6.00@6.50 while
Gamers at 3,0093.40 also were IN

calves were unevenly lower on a too
large supply. Few yeaIeTs went
above 500.
HOGS.
Demand was in fair shape for
light hogs from the start, and val
ues were 5000 higher in some
spots. The market did not hold,
however, and after the few first
rounds, the general trade was down
a nickel compared with yesterdays
