DAUGHERTY AND DISLOYALTY

A veteran of three wars has been
discharged for disleyalty. His "dis-
loyalty" consisted in furnishing facts
to ex-service men who are Represen
tatives of the people in Congress.
Major w. o. Watts, as special in
vestigator for the Department of
Justice, charged that the government
had been looted of millions of dollars
during war time. For being disloyal
to the looters he was summarily fired.
His loyalty to country was not per-
mitted for an instant to stand to his
credit.
Loyalty to looters evidently counts
for more with Attorney General
Daugherty in his Department of
Justice.
Replying to this Member of the Ca
binet's arbitrary order of dismissal
Major Watts said: "a combination
of government officials and other com
mon crooks have been assaulting and
raiding the public treasury on scale
so gigantic as to be almost unbelieve-
able. /. Tens of thousands of people
have sojourned by an invisible govern
ment and fight for righteous govern
ment has at last been forced into the
OPEN"
The public, together with organized
labor, will be glad to join to bring out
the facts. The people would like to
know what became of all the money
that was contributed for the war.
Attorney General Daugherty will have
to do some vigorous prosecuting of
the war profteers before the people
will believe that he is as faithful as
the discharged ex-soldier whom he
stigmatises as disloyal.

STRIKE SETTLED
ST. LOUIS CARPENTERS SCALE
FIXED AT $1.1O
Rev. Father Dempsey, Arbiter, Ad-
justs Dispute Between Master
Builders and WOrkmen-
Work to be Resumed
(By Federated Press)

St. Louis-The wage scale for ap-
proximately 1000 union carpenters of
st. Louis has been fixed at $1.10 an
hour by the Rev. Father Timothy
Dempsey, arbiter in the wage dispute
between the carpenters and the master
builders. The decision is regarded as
a sweeping victory for the Carpenters
District Council as the employers,
since April /, have made vigorous
effort to enforce their own scale of
95 cents an hour.
The carpenters wage dispute be-
came live issue following a demand
on the part of the employers last De-
cember for a fiat wage reduction
from $1.25 to 81 an hour, affecting
all building crafts. At the request
of the employers the question was
submitted to a referendum vote of the
rank and file. The carpenters de-
feated the proposal by vote OF rs
to /, and all other crafts, except the
painters, voted Overwhelmingly
against the proposed cut. The
painters accepted the lower wage and
signed contract for two years.
The action of the painters is be-
lieved to have influenced other crafts
which reopened negotiation with the
employers. The cement finishers,
sheet metal workers, elevator con-
structors, building laborers, concrete
workers, GLACIERS, iron workers and
the hosting engineers accepted wage
reductions ranging from to 20 per
cent. But the carpenters stood for the
original scale, $1.25 an hour.
Following several unsuccessful eff
forts to negotiate a 20 per cent re-
duction with the carpenters the
master builders announced the 95 cent
scale. The Carpenters District coun-
ell countered with vote to accept a
10 per cent reduction, from $1.25 to
S1.121a an hour. This the contractors
rejected and the carpenters declared
strike. The employers proposed ar
bitration, to which the carpenters
agreed. The carpenters returned to
work at the union SCALE pending a
decision by the arbiter.
Father Dempsey declared that the
cost of living does not justify wage
DelOW Sl.lU al HOur IOI Cal peHCcIo.
''The stagnation in building is large
ly DUE" said Father Dempsey, "to a
state of mind brought about by a
rumor or belief that prices are about
, to fall and that, consequently, there
is wisdom in waiting. The settlement
and stabilization of wages in any es-
sential industry such as this is, can
not fail to dispel much of the hesi-
fancy and uncertainty that have con-
fronted enterprise and delayed pros
perity."
