DEPENDS ON THE VIEWPOINT

A small boy complained of his dough
 nut. "Just see," said he, "what a hole! Paid two cents for it too; It makes me quite blue; And nothing his mind would console. The other boy answered quite cheery, With philosophy really profound, "You shouldn't feel blue. The holes big, 'tis true, But it takes more dough to go round. " My friends, here you have just the
 difference In counting a blessing or woe. Some see all the dough
 In the doughnut, you know, Others see just the hole in the dough.

Law to Aid Prisoners
Is Not Enforced
(By Federated Press)

Albany, N. Y.-The last legislature
passed bill providing that inmates
of New York prisons be given an op-
portunity to earn a certain amount
above the cost of their maintenance.
The law was signed by Gov. Miller
March %, and it took effect imn.edi-
ately. That is, one of its provisions
provided that it should. AS a matter
of fact, it has not taken effect, and
for some reason which Charles F.
Rattigan, superintendent of prisons,
will not reveal, it seems likely that
it will not go into effect for some time.
One reason, however, is known to
lie in one of the few laws which the
legislature of the state of New York
has passed at the instance CT organ
lied labor. This law prohibits con-
victs from entering into competition
with organized labor, and, of course,
was proposed in order to keep the
controversies, that time has passed.

to protect workers from competition
markets from being flooded with
become an active and unfair compe-
titor, inasmuch as it did not have to
pay anything to its prison workers
except the cost of their maintenance.
Now, however, that the state has
taken a grudging step toward fairer
treatment of convicts, this law ap-
parently has proven an effective OBJ
stacle to the plan.

Result of English
MaChinistS Strike
(By Federated Press)

Washington-That the great lock-
out of the Amalagamated Society Of
Engineers (machinists) in Great
Britain, has paralyzed the automobile
industry in the kingdom is disclosed
by dispatch to the department of
commerce by w. M. Park, secretary
to the American trade commissioner
in London.
"Most of the manufacturers of
motor cars and motorcycles" he says,
"are members of the employers fed
Grafton, and since the lockout they
have been short of toolmakers and
filters, comprising from 20 to Is PEI
cent of their factory personnel. The
result Of the lockout was an imme-
diate sharp curtailing of output, rep
resenting as much as rs per cent in
certain plants.
Reports from such important man.
ufacturing centers as Birmingham,
Coventry and Wolverhampton state
that unfinished work is lying about
the shops and in order to maintain
balance in the various departments
working hours have had to be reduced.
Some of the factories will undoubted-
ly have to close down unless an early
settlement is secured. Work has con-
tinued uninterrupted only in the non
federated concerns"

Trade Union Movement
Stronger Than Ever
(By Federated Press)

Davenport, Iowa-The trade union
movement will emerge stronger than
ever from the economic depression and
open shop onslaught, j. C. Lewis,
president, Iowa State Federation of
Labor, told the thirtieth annual con-
vention here of his organization in his
annual report. Had it not been for
the labor press of the state the ene-
mics of labor might have crushed the
union, he says.
Lewis appealed to organized labor
to back up its press and extend its
influence. "We cannot expect aid
from newspapers opposed to u.s." he
says. "We must control our press and
before we can control it we must own
it. With a free press we will rise,
without it we will fall. We must pay
to own the press, but we pay dearly
each day we don't own it and our enc
mics do"
The report urges the delegates to
work for legislation limiting the work
ing hours of women, establishing a
minimum wage for women, amend
ment of the widows pension law, old
age pensions. The cooperative move
ment was reviewed by Lewis and Ia
Dor urged to work for the establish
ment of cooperatives, including banks.

Coal Strike in Ohio
May Be Settled

Columbus, Ohio-There is grow
ing belief that the end of the coal
strike, in Ohio at least, is much nearer
a solution and end than some would
imagine. Direct reports from the
fields in southern and eastern Ohio
indicate that there is not the suffering
expected and that the idle miners are
enjoying their vacation, and so far
have no complaint to make. But the
operators are anxious that the re-
sumption of coal be resumed as early
as possible so that orders for lake
shipment may begin. This trade is
very profitable for the operators, and
with lower freight rates, and plenti-
full supply of cars the operators want
to ship as much as possible before
the demand from interior points of
the state begin to pour in. In public
awards so far there has been plenty
of bidders who feel that when the
time comes for the delivery the coal
will somehow or other be out of the
mines and loaded in the cars ready
for shipment. Important conferences
are pending and offers from smaller
mine owners may be the wedge that
will bring the disastrous strike to a
sudden end before many fully realize
what is going on.

DINNER PAIL EPICS
(By Bill Lloyd)

Our Harding says he cannot see the
children out for Amnesty. The day
they called, he went the faster to meet
Lord and Lady Astor, who live in
England now of late, by owning New
York real estate.
And then the children get lurch
by being turned away from church,
the church where Harding bows his
head whenever pious prayers are said.
PRAYERS for the wretched and op-
pressed, and convicts too, among the
rest.)
And after turning kids sway, our
Harding sets aside day when lie will
dine the railroad men, and hear their
tale of woe again. Not men who
work the roads, you know, but those
who handle railroad dough.) Another
night he sets aside to feed the steel
mems hungry hide.
They didn't have to ask to see him;
they can't run fast enough to fee him.
You bet those guys don have to beg
TO get chance to stic6 leg beneath
his dining table round; our Harding's
ear is to the ground. Our wartime
prisoners can wait; we're working on
the railroads fate. Politicals can't
really feel the burden hanging over
steel.
Some time the working class will rise
and hand the presidential prize to
someone who will represent the
muscled arm and back that's bent,
who won't be tender of Big Biz but
will look out for folks that is. Until
that day of well-roused ire, they'll
jump from frying-pan to fire, voting
one party with delight and then the
other out of spite, sea-sawing always
up and down and every time just hit
ting ground, their blossoms ready to
be kicked by any candidate they've
picked.

Newton D. Baker
Turns FIip-FIOp
(By Federated Press)

Washington-"Industry," the local
"open-shop" organ, publishes under
exultant headlines letter by Newton
D. Baker, former secretary of war but
now president of the Cleveland Cham
Der of Commerce, to Painters District
Council No. 6, denouncing the union
shop as can un-American and un-
democratic principle"
In the middle of the page the maga-
zine presents this extract from the
letter: "I think your district council
will be obliged to agree with me that
in the last 10 years the principle of
trade unionism has made little or no
headway. Temporary raises in wages
have, it is true, been obtained, but at
the present moment there is wide
spread public sentiment against labor
unions and the wholesale principle is,
in my opinion, endangered by the
growing realization on the part of the
public that practices followed are a
hurtful limitation upon production
cAIlO q oc1liS SCIOuS llIllLdClOIl VI cCOlIO-
mic freedom to American citizens"
Baker was known during the war as
a liberal in his relation to American
labor and reactionary with reference
to labor in Porto Rico, with whose
conditions his department had to DEAL
He was on friendly terms with the
leading unions whose members were
necessary to the successful prosecu-
tion of war contract work. Now he
appears as the champion of the "open
shop" using his past record as his
chief recommendation as critic. He
offers the war as his excuse for in
tolerance of normal union activities
today.
"The world has, in the last half
dozen years." he says, destroyed the
major part of it's accumulated wealth.
Every reasonable hour of labor is now
needed to produce wealth to replace
that which has been destroyed. If
there was ever a time when We could
be tolerant of the lockout and the
strike as means of settling labor
controversies that time has passed."

EASY MONEY
ATTERBURY BUYS $16 TIES FOR
38 CENTS
10000 American Soldiers Cut Millions
of Them For Pennsylvania Rail-
road is Charge Made by
Returned War Veteran
(By Federated Press)

Minneapolis-Th 10000 American
soldiers in France were kept cutting
oak ties for six months after the
armistice, and that these ties which
the United States government paid
France $16 apiece for were later sold
to the Pennsylvania railroad at 80
cents tie, is the charge made by
Charles p. Green, who, in addition to
service in France, is veteran OF five
other wars.
According to Green, Gen. Atterbury,
vice president of the Pennsylvania,
was the man who directed the cutting
of the ties and as director Of A. E. r.
railroad transportation was enabled to
secure them for the Pennsylvania
railroad.
"For many years." Green said, "the
Pennsylvania and other roads were
unable to secure oak ties. The French
forest abound in oak, but until Amer
ica entered the war, this timber was
held sacred by the French who had
refused to sell it to American rail-
roads. Then the war came and After
bury was sent to France to take
charge of railroad transportation.
"The Twentieth Engineers, the
largest regiment in the world, was put
in charge of the tie cutting. Twenty
thousand men composed the regiment
and for year and half worked, de-
stroying the fine French forests, to
win the war;, as Atterbury told them.
After the armistice was signed the
regiment was enlarged to nearly 49,
900 men and they cut ties for six
months longer.
"Prizes were offered to companies
who turned out the most work. FIX
tended leaves of absence were offered
the men as an inducement to exert
themselves. Promotion was given Of
fcers of outfits making recorcs, and
from Belgium to the Pyrenees at
every tract of timber behind the old
front the goth was at work. Millions
of ties and timbers were corded IN
row after row at the nearest rail
point.
Transportation and maintenance of
the soldiers engaged in this work ad
ded to the damage paid the French
for each tree felled brought the cost
of each tie up to around S16. Gen.
Atterbury later purchased these ties
for the Pennsylvania railroad, paying
38 cents each for them.
zone company of $50 men could
have cut all the ties that were needed
by the A. E. F. We didn't build any
railroads across France. The only oc-
casion when the U. S. army used ties
was in laying track for supply yards.
and a few miles of roadway. All of
the ties used by the A. E. F. would
not make up 10000 part of the
amount cut"
Green, who is a member of the Dis
abled Veterans of the World Was,
states he is willing to go before any
congressional committee and repeat
the charges he made to the Federated
Press correspondent.
The war activities of Green extend
through the Boer war, Boxer uprising
Spanish American war, the American
expedition into Mexico, and service in
the A. E. F.
